Gree nbrier md lIonPoe,

A short time ago the Wheeling Intel
Ggcncer published an editorial article
headed The Rebellious Element in
West Virginia" which contained even
more misrepresentation than are usual
IL condensed into one article, even by
that sheet, and that is saying a great
deal. We replied, at the time, to some
of the ISLANDERS put forth against the
people of Greenbrier and Monroe cOun-
ties, but we have since received
information which expressly contradicts
many Of the assertions which we
Formerly deemed merely improbable, but
which We now know to be absolutely
untrue.
Among other things, it was alleged that
ALLEN T. CAPgRroN, q wealthy citizen
of Monroe county, was engaged INSTR
ring up hostility to the State govern
ment, and provoking to deeds of vio-
lence all whom he could influence to
disobey the laws. Tha- this Is not true
may be known from the fact that since
last April Mr.. CArERToN has been con-
fined, all of the time to his room, and
most of the time To his bed, with dis
eased limb. He has seen but few per,
sons, and they only his most intimate
friends. He has taken no part in polit-
ical affairs whatever and has, in no in
stance, counseled resistance to the law.
In the same article, Colonels JONES
aud HoUNsHELL and Major II. NJ.
MATTHEWS were accused of manifesting
and melting rebellious disposition.
In refutation of this, we present a copy
of certificate signed by these gentle
men themselves. The original eertiti-
cate was sent to the editor Of the Intel
Rgencer, and has been in his possession
several days, but up to this time, with
ont publication.

LEwIsBCRG, W. VA, Dec. b, ls66.
Editor Of the Wheeling hteiligenoer
SIR We, the undersigned, officers Of
election of Lewisburg township, Green
brier county, hereby certify that the
following statement, contained In an
editorial of the Wheeling inteltigencer OF
the 9th ult., is entirely false, viz ::
AT Greenbrier Court House, the Union
men abandoned the election, for fear OF
their lives, and none was held"
We also certify that 10 violence was
threatened, and none was apprehended I;
that there were only four registered
voters in the township on the day Of
election, and that only one of these yo-
tiers desired to vote, and he deposited
his ballot and it was counted.
In Justice to this community we de-
sire You to publish this certificate.
TuOs. HENNING, Supervisor.
WM. N.ANDERsoN, Inspector.
What particular motive our neigh
Dor can have in abusing the people OF
Greenbrier and Monroe counties and re-
fusing TO correct. by publishing the
certificates of prominent, reliable, re-
spectacle and responsible gentlemen Of
those counties, the false impression he
has created, We leave our readers to in
fer. The truth is, there is no more
peaceable and patient and law-abiding
community within the limits of the
United States than is to be found in
those counties. Their patience under
the insults and Outrages that
have been heaped upon them
them is wonderful. The wonder is that
they have endured so much with so lit
tie complaint. Every right dear to
freemen has been denied them. They
have been despoiled Of their property {;
their personal liberty is dependent only
upon the will Of one man, hOseprivate
vices and public crimes are almost be-
yond belief; and even their lives may
be taken with impunity by any scoun-
drel who rejoices in being considered
''loysr man. This is no eIaggeration;
it really falls below the truth and
fails to convey an adequate idea of the
condition of the people of those coun-
ties. And yet, notwithstanding all
this, they have submitted as quietly as
human nature can submit, more quietly
than the citizens of almost any other
portion of the State ronld submit to
the exaetiOns that have been made upon
them. Misrepresentation and abuse of
3 people 80 helpless as they are, is both
eowardly and criminal in the extreme.

SIR The statements contained IN

rebellious element in West Virginia"
with regard to our conduct, the occur

Another slander in the same article
had reference to alleged occurrences on
the day of the late election. That the
assertions of the Intslligencer with rela-
tion TO the conduct of the people OF
Lewisburg were untrue, may ascertain
ed from the following certificate signed
by the officers Of election. 4 copy OF
this statement has been, for some time,
in the possession of the editor Of the
Intelligeacer, but has, like the one pub
lished above. failed TO see the light

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN THE DIST,

chising those who left the District voluntarily
to.enter the rebel service
Mr.. Brown, of Mo, expressed himself as
opposed to the permanent disfranchls emert of
those who had taken part in the rebellion He
belleyed that universal suffrage would render
the rebel votes inn0ccuous, and was the ONLY
MODE OF reconstruction that would give us
safety hereafter. He did not wish suffrage TO
be thus restricted, or by educational quaIifica-
uons, or by property qualifications
The amendment was agreed to-

Mr.. Wilson also objected to a distinctiop
which would operate against citizens OF for.

was the language Of our country, and every
voter should be able to read or write it,
as also Mr. Sumner.
After some further debate the Amendment

thereof inserting provision that in elections

SMUGGLING ON THE NORTHERN FROM

Much has been said concerning the system
of smuggling which has OF late wears been
carried on along our northern frontier. State.
ments, so frequently made, that this manner
OF defrauding the Government revenue is
being rapidly suppressed have been denied
by those residing near the Canada border we
have recently had an opportunity of con.
yersing with gentleman connected with the
customs, who is elninently well qualified 10
express an opinion with reference to this sinh
Ject. He states with confidence that SNUG
Cling has greatly diminished within the pres.
ent year. The operations of those who still
persist in their attempts to sustain this
Illicit traffic are chiefly confined to the
few points which afford the greatest facili.
ties for the purpose, and even at these points
there is marked decrease. He attributes this
great success in the efforts of the Government
to break up smuggling to the following
causes first, and mainly to the Increased
vigilance OF the Custom officers who are
wrought up TO the greatest activity by con-
slant orders and instructions from the Com
missioner OF the Bureau also, to the in creased
liability TO seizure, caused by the late Fenian
raids. as scarcely a boat or vehicle can now
cross the border without being subject to a
strict surveillance
Our informant is of the opinion, however
tnat smuggling, to be kept down, should RI.
ceive the unremitted attention of the most ex-
perienced and Jealous officers, for as soon as
the present vigilance relaxes, so soon will
smuggling speedily revive.
