Editors of the Register ...
1t is currently reported here that there
is a man by the name of Harris stumping
the State as candidate for the Office of
Governor of West Virginia, the ensuing
term. 1t isreported in different neighbor.
hoods of the county that this man was
an officer in tLo Northern army in the
late war. Tlo people here Cat least
many of them) are very anxious to
know whether or not it is Col. T. Harris,
eommandant 0 the Tenth Virginia regi.
ment, who, it IS said, ordered the burn
ing Of Huttonsville, and who wou d
have done mol > burning in that vicinity
had il Dot ha re been for the timely ar
rival of General Kelly, who prevented
it; who also had at one time thirteen of
the citizens of this county arrested, all
of them men cf families, and as quiet
and peaceable as any in the county,
and without auy proof of disloyalty or
charges of CT me, had them sent to
Camp Chase, and from there sent to Fort
Delaware, and only FIVE survived their
imprisonment ."
If you know, sir, you will confer a
particular favor by giving the desired
information. ANXIOUS.
Some Of HARRIS admirers will have
to answer our correspondents question.
We don't know much about the General,
and don't want to, for the more we learn
about him the smaller he appears.

Forney, ID. ID. !
of the cot Itself

EnmMacK,nf The washington correspond
eat of the Cincinnati Commercial, thus
yentilates j. w. Forney, just now the
main spoke in the radical wheel
roRNEY, TIE DIsNTEREsTED PATRIOT.
.r Every once in a while the great Amer.
lean toady, John w, Forney speaks Dof
the party which supports the President
as made up of hirelings,p word which
he borrows from the vocabulary OF his.
late Southern masters. The public may
like to know how purely disinterested
: orney is, and has been, ia support OF
the Republican party, how much self
sacrifice he displays IN the premises, In
fact. -,
Firstly-There is John W. Forney, the
dead duck, in propria persona, Clerk OF
the Senate, at S3, 500 and stealings.
Secondly-There is D. G. Forney, pub
Usher of the Chronicle, cousin OF the
dead ducks, in pay of the Senate, draw.
inc salary of about two thousand dol
lars year for the work which he never
performs--a clear swindle. .fsi
Thirdly-There is another Forney, q
brother of the ducks, mail agent be-
tween here and Philadelphia.
Fourthly-There is another brother,
mail agent on the Pennsylvania Central
Rad.
Fifthly-There is junior Forney, who
all through the war was staff officer on
duty in Philadelphia.
Sixthly-There is another son of the
dead ducks, who, early in the war, was
got commission in the navy, under a
solemn covenant never to be sent to sea,
nor exposed to the rude fire of rebel
guns-and he never was.
Seventhly-Forney is carried about the
city of Washington in vehicle owned
by the Government, and driven by 9
man paid as a laborer in the Capitol
grounds. All of which may be strictly
patriotic, but not legal. tC,-"
Eightly-Forney has for private ser
want man who is paid as laborer fol
the Senate, which is contrary to the law
in snch cases made and pravided
Ninthly-Forney gets the Chronicle ed.
tied by men who are paid as Clerks OF
the Senate; which may be patriotism,
but looks like swindling %.
| Tenthly-Forney will employ nobody
as clerk or messenger in the Senate, who
will not help to edit either the Chronicle
or the Press; which is good economy but
bad morals in the dead duck.
Eleventhly-Forney wrote begging
letter to the President about six months
ago. The President did not grant the
prayer of the petitioner, and the Chroni-
Gle Immediately came out against An
drew johnson and his policy, which may
be disinterested, but doesn't look that
way; looks rather like an unsuccessful
attempt to
Crook the pregnant hinges OF the knee
When thrift may follow Fawney.
What self-sacrifcing patriot Forney
is, to be sure.

TAX AND RIFF.-The Tax bill bav-
ing been passed by the House, fingers in
the Senate. 1t is to be hoped that ii
will be speedily put on its passage, so
that the couatry may know exactly
wha; it is to on poet in this matter of i'm
posts. Until the schedule of taxation is
arranged, business must languish, and
large contract cannot be safely made.
The tariff is al to be revised, and can
not be done lroperly until the excise
taxes are settled. The House has that
matter in charge, but the Committee on
Ways and Me- us must delay action IN
til the internal revenue rates are set
tied In every point Of view is it too
much to ask that Congress shall hurry
up this whole business. s. #s

.M ra1s DO HAT WAS NEW.

Before this hat was made,
King GEORGE was on the throne;
Or Fathers all were rebels then, A.
,roAudI for CHI With Washington;
The tories uhsared forold King George
The Revolution through -,
: And Dragged about sheir loyalty,
Ere this old hat was new
When this old hat was new,
The sons of that base crowd
Revived the cry of '.Ioyaity
And beloved it all0ud; .re
The Government our Fathers MADE
For them would mover do;
And they have torn its bulwarks down
Since this old hat was new. oT 3d.
When this old hat was new, ,.ay
There was no public debt,
No greenbacks took the place OF gold,
No millionaire had yet ID l,
His pile of Seven. Thirties spent,
On which no tax was due;
But each man fairly paid his tax
When this old hatiwas new.
When this old hat was new,
Elections still were free,
And every man was thought to have
A right to liberty.
Arrests were mace py course Vi Jaw
Trials were speedy, too,
and Seward rang no little bell
When this old hat was new. .....
When this old hat was new,
The land was in its prime,
Miscegenation was untaught
In all this happy cline;
And white folks then WEI tho as good
AS Sambo, Cuff or Sue;
But things have sadly changed about
Since this old hat was new
When this old hat was new,
The poor white man was free,
And every year bran new boy
Could dandle on his knee
But now, for every child he has,
He's taxed till all is blue
But things, tell you, were not SO
When this Old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
Geld dollars did abound,
And not stamp in all the land
Could anywhere be found;
But now, you dare not kiss your wife,
Unless you stamp her too;
But things, tell yeu, were not so,
o. When this old hat was new.

proceed by saying tthattheo election, OF e
tie a4th passed OF quietly 81 that i day 81
With the Usual amount Of elsstionserlng'
od both sides, and resulted in Q general
conservative victory over the county
Tha cronosed constitutional amendment
u d;sagreed to by majority OF thirty
III .,One, hundred and eight votes being
r;ten for ratification and one hundred
faity.sonr for rejection. And in the
townships of Clay, Franklin and wash
ington, the entire conservative ticket
was elected, with q few unimportant ex-
ceptions, and rice versa Ia Lincoln town
ship. Had the Board OF Registration
completed its work before the election,
the result no doubt would have been
different, at least as regards the
vote on the constitutional amendment,
az in Clay township, where fifty-one
votes were objected to by the Board,
no trial was had from the reason that
the parties were not notified according
te law by the township registrar, con-
seuuently all the persons voted, or at
least were not prohibited from so doing
While the registry law remains in force,
the election Of county officers in Braxton
of any specially defined politics, will be q
very uncertain business, the parties De-
ing very near equally divided.
The old Board of Supervisors OF Brax-
ton county held their last regular meet
ing on the 5th inst, in Sutton, and with
the execution of examining the returns
of, the late election, no business of much
| Importance was transacted. Our former
notice of the able and efficient manner
in which they did business, held good
to the last. commencing as they did at
a time when derauged state of affairs
existed in the county, and without ex-
perience in the business, or precedent TO
follow, the board Justly deserves no or
binary need of praise for the satisfactory
manner in which they left the affairs OF
Braxten county. Vor popaH is "well
done thou good and faithful servants"
| ETC. ... r.u..
The following named persons will con-
stitute the new Board of Supervisors,
viz Charles w. Kelly, Daniel s. Squires,
George Dobbins and Benjamin l.. Boggs.
| The first of Franklin Township, the sec
ond of Clay Township, the third of Lin
coin Township, and the fourth of Wash
ington Township. s. ra1a
At the present writing the affairs OF
Braxtpn county appear to be about in
statu ono. The excessively warm weather,
however, appears to have the SAME effect
upon the mental organization, as is dis
played by the physical structure, and in
a great measure accounts for the dis
iointed condition and brevity of all arti-
cles over the rather inappropriate sigma
| ture of WEEKLY.
