The Boston Journal, the leading organ of
the radical party id Boston, thus refers to the
nomination of one Of the two hegr0es who
have been elected to the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature
This nomination is che of the practical
results of the political creed xhieil Nassa-
chuaetts has heen foremost ifadvocat pv snd
though it may strike some with tthrise. II s.
creditabe to the district which made zoe
noniihation Ward Six is file weai. hest ward
in the StateJ it embraces within lis limits
more literary culture and more literally edn-
Gated men than any other Representative dis
trict that VIC know Of, and it is with perhaps
the exception of ward in New Bedford, the
only ward in this State which has large nuns
Der of colored voters. The ward is the home
of John a. Andrews, AMI there seems to be
peculiar propriety that the first colered man
elected as epresentative-as he uudoubt
ediy will be-should come from ward which
possesses such marked characteristics
For our own part we heartily indorse the
nomination. It shows the sincerity of the
Republicans, and IS proof of their inten-
ton to carry out TO the letter the political
professions which they have been making
We believe that the color of the skin is not
abadge OF Gishonor, and when qualified By
education to hold the ballot the man should
be eligible to Office The nominee, we hear,
is a man of sense and sagacity, and will do
nodiscredit to the State"
We want our people to remember that those
who voted the radical ticket in this county,
at the recent election. are in full fellowship
with the party in Massachusetts which has
insulted the intelligence Of The people and
outraged decency by the election of negro
delegates and What has recently been done
in Massachusetts, viii be done here in. less
than FIVE years if radicalism is permitted to
carry out its programme.

JUDGE RAIL.


We call the attention Of our readers to the
Communication addressed to- Judge Hall Of
this circuit. and originally published in the
.Glarksburg Conservative The facts which
are stated in the Communication have been
known to our people fora long time past and
have. heretofore. been charged against him
BY the Spiit; butas they are now presented
IN proper form, with reference to the recorded
proof of their truth, we respnblish them in
order that it may be seen that We spoke by
the book
As to Judge Halls ability 70 take the test
cath required BY the laws of West Virginia,
ne have nothing to say beyond what appeared
in this paper during the canvass for the judges
Efip So far as he is personally concerned It
is matter solely with himself aud his COM
science We take 1t for granted there is no
earthly tribunal before which he viii ever be
called to answersave that public opinion;
and public opinion is utterly disregarded BY
all the radicals, legislative. executive, and ju-
dical, who happen to control the destinies Of
the stolen State Of West Virginia.

The Rev. DIR. PLuMMER, so eminent in
distinction and so widely known throughout
the country, has just returned to his home
from visit to the. mineral regions of yir-
ginia. He gives an account in the New York
Obserue,., of his conversations with the peo-
pie of Virginia, and representatives from. all
the Southern States, who were visitors at the
Springs-of the pacific character and acquies2
cencs manifested in the results of the war
-an universal desire to see the harmony and
fraternal feeling of the country restored that
they might once agein pursue unmoiested the
arts of peace. AS to the poor negro, what a
lamantable record does he make, from stand

nation could be heard =:

ginia more than thirty days, ana saw thous-
ands of black people; but among them all
we saw but two children under four years of
age. An eminent lady, who had extended
opportunities of information, said she had
known but two or three births among :taem in
eighteen months, and that commonly the
white people did not hear of sickness among

ter from Christian gentleman in South Car

negroes had died within. the last twelve
mouths Aeentleman has lately visited over
fifty plantations ON or near the Mississippi.-
he reports the number of graves made withs
in, a year on these plantations as in no case
less than twenty and from that up to 200. a
maj r.general of the United States army of

in his military district, SO, coo of these peos

Gently made this statement. Oar officers say
thatat least million have persisted. Ran
dali Hunt, of New Orleans, says the same.
They give reasons. Some have fallen in bat
tie But terrible diseases have prevailed
among them, and the smallpox has swept
them away, all override land. They have not
been used to caring for their own diseases,
and they have persisted by thousand. And
believe, when We take the census of 1870,
two,ffths of the colored population will have
pcrished.''
