An Insane Lady.

Yesterday lady arrived in this city from
Baltimore, and, by inquiry, found her way
to Wizards Hotel, where she went immedi-
ately to the ladies' parlor There she was
entertaining the ladies with wild and dis
connected speech, which caused them to sus-
pect that she was laboring under fit of in
sanity. They sent word to the proprietor.
who secured the services Of an officer, and re-
quested him to secure her comfortable Lode
ings and he would settle tho bill. Sergeant
Walker, the officer called on. took her to a
hotel and procured room for her. where they
promised to take caresof her; but late in the
afternoon, Officer Miller, of the Third ward
found the same lady wandering in the streets.
lie took her to the Central Guard House for
safe keeping until morning Yesterday NOR
ming she passed note ont of her room door,
giving her name as Sophia A. Robertson. Kent

and wears very fine gold watch chain and
other valuable jewelry. She has with her
receipted bill for board at one of the promi-
nent hotels in Baltimore. 1t is quite evident
that her insanity is only temporary, and we
trust that she may soon recover. and that her
friends may soon find her. Wash. Chron>

BUSINESS NOTICE.

We should like to correct false impression
which seems to have seized upon the mirds
of quite number of our patrons, that their
papers are to run on from year to year, with
out being paid for. We never contemplated
any such arrangement when we renewed the
publication CT our paper. We started out to
do cash business, aud after the expiration
Ct this year, intend to adhere to 1t.
In one month more, our present subscrip>
ton year will expire, and NC now notify those
who wish the paper for the next year that
they must pay between this and tre 1st of

tlnue every paper that is not paid for Those

THE NOMINATIONS


The nominations made by the National
Union Convention, held last Saturday, are
such as speak well for the responsibility of
the party. The best men have been selected;
and that, too, more with reference to their
suitability for the various Offices than for their
availability. The temper Of our people at
this time is one of determination to defeat the
radicals, and to do it with men of standing
IN the community; they do not intend to
lower the party of the Union by nominations
of men of no calibre, either moral or practi-
cal, as the radicals have done.
CHARLES II. MCCURDY and So1oNov V
YANTIs, are, in every way, proper men for
the House of Delegates; and each of them
deserved the nomination. Mr.. McCurdy was
member of the last legislature, and his ev-
cry vote, and all his energies were given, in
behalf of conservatism, and against the
malignant and base course of the majority
Mr.. Fantis was elected last fall by large ma
jority of the voters, but was cheated out of
his seat by the frauds of the board of Super
risors. Both of these gentlemen will re-
ceive the hearty support of all the true Union
men of the county, and, if elected, will faith
fully reflect the sentiments of the people and
serve truly the best interests Of the State.
JOSEPH WELsnANs, of Shcpherdstown,
known to our citizens as an honest man and
an intelligent magistrate, was selected as the
candidate for Sheriff, without oppositior.--,
That he will be elected over the Potterfeld
radical construction we do not doubt; and
that he will fulfill all the duties of the Office
faithfully and inpartially we are assured by
his integrity of character and admirable bu-
siness qualifications
john O'CoNNELL, the candidate for Pros
ccuting Attorney is warm hearted Irish>
man, devoted to his profession, in which he
has had several years practical experience, and
IN which he has evinced decided ability
Like all the gentlemen of the Irish race he.
is generous, honest, and above doing mean
acts. His popularity is great, and he will
surely deal death blow to all the homes of
sthe young Stubs, and all others who oppose
him.
For Clerk of the Circuit Court, and Re
eoFdef, the Convention, have presented GID.
EoN LEIsENRING and Thomas W. GREEN.
whose thorough business qualifications afford
an abundant guarantees of their eminent fit
ness for these two positions. We commend
both of these gentlemen to the favorable no.
tee of the voters and ask them to draw
comparison between them and the radical
candidates for the same posts, and then vote
for the better men. IF this is done, Loisen-
ring and Green will be elected by overwhelm-
ing majoritios.

WITT CLOSE THE BOOKS.

WITT CLOSE THE BOOKS.
The quiet aud unpretsudi6g village, over
on the waters of the Potomac, Which has the
distinguished honor Of being the seat of ius-
tice, Of the rich and heavy tax. paying county
of Jefferson, was the theatre of some rare ex>
element on Wednesday of last week, in con-
sequence of which the registration books were
closed, and the work of manufacturing voters
to order, brought suddenly to grief. That
sanity pair of radicals, in whose breasts the
fire of patriotism burns with an inextinguish-
able fame-we mean Koonce and McKevitt
who seem to think that the fight of every
man in the county to vote must rest upon
their ipsi dist: had, in their combined wis
dom, issued orders for the summons of so
parties whose names were found on the Reg
istrars book from Harper's Ferry township to
appear before them on the day in question,
TINT their cases might be taken up, and their
right to citizenship determined In obedience
to- this mandate, the 50 embryo voters char
tered canal boat at Harpcr's Ferry, and un-
der the American co!ors and with drums and
fife, started on their journey-if not Up salt
rlver-at least to- the sold unterrifcd," where
among the officials, good sense is at terrible
discount, and justice wceps for solitary rep
resentativc.
The voyage of the ffty-three was uninter-
rupted by any important incident-if we ex-
ccpt the whipping of the mule driver, which
occurred on the route-and landing safely
effected on the. shores of the historic stream
which tradition relates had the honor of bear
ing the first steamboat upon its beautiful wa
tiers.
Scarcely had the party left the banks of
the river, before the Board of Registration,
seized with panic, and adjourned until Mon
| day week, the 18th instant. This action of
theirs was lot caused by any demonstrates
on the part of those who had been summoned
to appear on that day, but was perhaps the
result of some qualms of conscience at tho
outrages they had perpetrated and which the
members of the Board apprehended, were
about 70 meet with a just retribution The
adjournment Of the Board under the circum-
stances, was an indignity to-. and an outrage
upon' every man summoned to appear, and
not justified by any principle Of law or de-
ccncy. We hope sincerely, that the voters of
the county, the decent men among the radi-
Gals, if there be any such lcGt-will not fail
to administer an effective rebuke to this con-
duct of the Board, on the 18th Thursday of
this month. In the meantimes letthose who
were summoned to 5ppaar on Wednesday, re-
pair to Shepherdstown on Monday next, and
demand their rights of this ubiquitous Board.

Mr.. JEFF. Davis,

"Kappa," the Washington city corrcspon~
dent of the Richmond Eraminer saws that
there is a way in which Mr.. Davis can be
discharged on bail, and that has been sug~
gested, as is said, by Chief Justice Chase
himself. BY writ of haGcas corpus he can
be transferred from military to civil custody.
and he may then be bailed. 1t is the opin.
ion of lawyers here that this can be done. and
it is even said that Judge Underwood will
make no objection to it. This being the case.
it is probable that Mr.. Davis counsel will
take the course indicated, if the trial should
not take place in November.

Mr.. Koonce at once said it was so. We then
asked if they would review their decision and
hear what we had to say. Mr.. Koonce said
their decision was final, and turning, appeal

assent. We then asked their reason for so
strange decision, but they persistenly refus-

MR. rRUEMAN W. PorrnRF1rLD.


In order that every conservative voter in
this county may know what he has to expect
if this radical is elected sheriff, we will give
a short history of his political career.
Trueman w. Potterfeld was a Supervisor
at the time of the last election in this coun-
ty, and in the Board, on that occasion, had
the casting vote.
he voted to aroao out tie entire polls at
CharlestO,cn precinct-267 rotes.
by this act George Koonce was elected to
the Legislature by said Bodrc7--hol ID, ne
people-Rush was elected Sheriff in the place
of Philip Engle, who had a large majority of
the legal voters of the county; Mr.. Kennedy
defeated for the Judgeship; and Mr.. Yantis
for the Legislature. To this act also you may
ascribo the election of the present Radical
judge in this circuit
Trueman ". Potterfeld was hoiiiinated by
the R0dtcal Contention at Shepherdstown
for the Office of sheriff. 1t is said, and he
docs not deny 1t, 80 far as we can learn, that
this same Mr.. Koonce is to DC one Of has dep
'ttieS, although he has condescended to name
to us two deputies.
The Convention which nominated Mr.. Pot
tsrfeld passed Eve resolutions-aU Radical
One of them deno.nccd Anc7rew .jolnson.
the great leader of the National Union Party.
Another approved all the acts Of the Rad
zeal Congress-the Free7man's Bureau bin ;
CT0H hiyhts 6i1; NEoRo Suffrage bill, &c.
Another endorsed the '0f and 'nf courcn-
ton by denouncing the National uuioii Con
vention
Thus he stands, by accepting Tie nomias-
ton of the county convention, pledged to
support the acts :ftEe radicals.
Let no conservative voter touch him with
forty foot pole. Such a man is the worst
enemy to the true interests of the people of
this county to be found. However polite and
courteous he may be in his social relations,
he does not deserve and ought not to have the
votes of any but those who think and feel as
he does.
Vote, therefore, for The conscygatise candi.
date for Sheriff:

Gen. Ices Household Effects at Ar
lington,

Under an order from the President, the
household effects left at the Arlington Man.
sion by Gen. Lee, or rather the fragments that
were remaining of them, were yesterday de.
livered to the party authorized by Gen. Lee
to receive them. 1t appears that nearly
everything of any value had been stolen
Many valuable heirlooms, including some of
the family portraits. had been purloiped
The portraits weretaken from the frames pack
ed IN boxes and stored in the upper loft of
the mansion for safety, in 1861 These boxes
had been broken open and everything of real
value taken away, and the letters and private
papers OF Gen. Lee scattered over the loft
A lady friend of. the family, with Mrs GRAY.
the Old and faithful household servant, were
yesterday looking over the effects, and cath.
erlng up the fragments worth preserving.

Fhe Impeaehment Of the Prasidant.


1t is now pretty well settled-as stated bv
Mr.. Bingham, ~ G., from Ohio, "a leading
Radical therO)-that the Rump House Of
Representatives viii bring the President be.
fore the Rump United States Senate to inn
peach him there. The grounds for such a
struggle to usurp power have not been stated
in public, but We now have them in the New
ark Courier:
CRAZY PRESIDENT.
The impression that the President is crazy
is becoming general The Baltimore Amer
dean confirms the Statement of Our Washing~
ton correspondent We have had iEtima-
tions of this state of things for sons time
1t is very certain that his conduct, since the
I'D of February, cannot be satisfactorily ex-
planned upon any other basis than craziness.
Strong drink sets most men Grassy. sooner
or later, and this may be the remote cause of
the Presidents MENTAL alteration, If it exists.
for 1t would seem that he has been "A hard
drinker for some years past But it is more
likely that his mind has been turned by his
sudden elevation to the Presidency--and tho
violence of his ambition to be President by
direct election. The two causes combined
are sufficient to run any ordinary man crazy,
under the manipulation of Mephistupheles,
Ike Seward. Whichever be the cause his
friends say that he is crazy, and that his era
illness borders on insanity.
One of the signs of lunacy is the. fear of
being killed. The President is haunted con-
tinually by this fear, absurd as it is, for he
does not look for ASSASSINATION from the only
quarter whence it could possibly come. the
late Rebels of the South, but from the Radi-
Gals OF the North, -who want no mans blood,
even JEFF. Davis, but who could forgive and
forget the past, on condition of enfranehis-
ing the negro. But this is not the ouly S. On
OF his madness. Madmen always hate their
true friends. The President hates the men
and the party that made him Vice President
and with vicious hatred
Europe has had many crazy Kings, and
their subjects had to endure the scourge for
long, long years, but fortunately for US, we
can speedily rid ourselves of the incubus. if
the fears of the Presidents friends should
prove true"
We have here the grounds for impeach-
mont, Seward, we presume, is ''crazy" too,
and McCulloch and Welles and other men,
bers ofthe Cabinet. 1t is not an unusual thing
among lunatics to suppose others insane, and
the insane Radical leaders but represent that
disease SO often shown in Iunatic asylums.
1t would be one of the most extraordinary
signs Of the times, quite equalling in the
French Revolution, to see Thad. Stevens &
Co. impeachiug President johnson for sscra.
illness, " and to see Chandler, Yates, Wade &
Co., trying him therefor.-M Y Express.
