PROMENADE CONCERT, &c.-City Hall was
densely packed last evening at the Festival got
up by the Ladies' Social Circle, of the Con-
gress Square Universalist Church A prom
enade concert was the leading feature of the
affair, and never before have we seen the hall
SO full ON such an occasion. The galleries
were crowded, and there was hardly space for
the dancers. All present enjoyed themselves
and happier crowd never was seen. The re-
freshment tables did an excellent business, and
the whole proceeds must have amounted to a
pretty sum. The ladies may congratulate
themselves upon their success in carrying out
the Festival in so handsome manner.

CHARLESTON, WEST VA.,)
CRASSUS.

CHARLESTON, w EST A,
Oct. ee, 1866.
Mr.. EDIroR:-On Thursday Of this
week, West Virginia votes for State and
County officers, and also for Members
of Congress. Governor Boreman, who
has held that position since the organ
ization of the State in 1868, is the nom-
inee of the Radical Union party for re-
election; while Colonel Ben. Smith, OF
this place, heads the Conservative tick
ct as his opponent Colonel Smith and
his friends are making vigorous can
vass, denouncing the so-called odious
laws of the loyal West Virginia Leg
islature, and appealing to the prejudices
of the people on the dead issues of ne
gro equality and negro suffrage. But
the efforts of the Colonel and his
friends will all prove vain, for it is a
foregone conclusion that Gov. Boreman,
standing square on the platform of
Congress and the Constitutional amend
ment, will carry the State by the usual
majority of from 1000 to 10000 votes.
Like Maryland, Tennessee and Missou-
ri, we have in this State a strict Regis
try law, by the provisions of which, no
person who has participated in the re-
bellion, is allowed TO exercise the right
of suffrage. At the election last spring,
by a majority of over 1000, the people
incorporated this provision in their
Constitution, and while it remains
there, the Union men viii have no diff
fieulty in retaining their control of the
State Government. Union men in this,
as in the other border States, are Radi-
cal in the extreme.
Congressional candidates in this
District have been numerous. Judge
Polsley is the nominee of the Union
party. Col. h. V. Whaley, the pres
ent incumbent, having been ignored by
the Union Convention, bolted the NOM
nation, and went into the canvas as an
Independent candidate. c. p. Moore,
of PIT. Pleasant was the nominee of the
Conservative or johnson party. But
within few days Col Whaley and Mr..
Moore have both withdrawn from the
canvass, and the opposition have now
united on Gen. John H. Oley, formerly
Colonel of the Seventh West Va. Vet.
Cavalry, and now Internal Revenue
Collector of this District. The indi-
cations now are, that Judge Polsley
viii be elected by not far from 1000
majority.
The Circuit Court of this county
closed its October term on Friday last,
having been in session about three
weeks. Little or no civil business was
dime, the time being wholly taken up
with the criminal docket. Newton G.
Sims and James Blundon, jointly in
dicted for the murder of Alexander
White in March last, were convicted of
murder in the second degree, and SEN
fenced to Penitentiary, the former for
eighteen, and the latter for seven,
years. ID.

many years they were the neighbors
and intimate friends Of the editor of

amiable, and greatly beloved by all.
They began life together on New

protestations of reform (not only to
