TREASURER,

Brooke county has given a majority
of six against the amendment. Ham
cock, on the other hand, has given 95
majority for it. The vote of the latter
county stands 3S4 for, and $50 against
the amendment. Our old friend, Rev.
J. S. PomerOy, we are glad to note, is
elected Superintendent of Free Schools.
The majority in Marshall county,
for the amendment, we are unofhcially
informed, will be about $50. This is a
gain on what was expected. The Pam
handle was calculated upon as stand
off against itself.
The majority in Tyler county for the
amendment is Il. The opposition made,
as we are responsibility informed, the
most INSCRIPTIONS efforts to defeat it,
going SO far as to proclaim at the polls,
openly and in secret, that the amend
ment was a cunningly devised Provis-
ion to allow negroes to vote in this
State.
Doddridge county gives ABS votes
for and 396 against the amendment.
This is a falling off from what was
counted on by our Union friends.
Union township, Taylor county,
gives l22 for, to only against the
amendment. The whole county (offic-
ial voteJ gives 2l1 for the amendment.
Mineral county is unofiicially report
ed to give a small majority for the
amendment. only 10 VOleS were given
against it at the county seat, New
Creek. Grant county is also reported
for the amendment, but the figures are
not given. This county once formed
part of Hardy.
Portland, Preston county, gives 135
majority for the amendment. Rowles-
burg, same county, 224. Six more
townships to hear from will probably
increase the majority to 800 or 1000 i'll
the county.
Marion county gives a majority o.
42S for the amendment. This is a gain
on the Union vote of last fall.
Jefferson county gives 125 majority
for the amendment-an unexpected
Union success.
Berkeley gives $40 majority for the
amendment-a decrease on the Union
vote of last fall.
Harrison county gives 26S majority
for the amendment, with four town
ships 10 hear from. The majority for
the amendment will not vary much
from Mr.. Fleming's vote last fall, on
whom the issue was made with a great
deal of bitterness.
Wood county gives 461 majority for
the amendment.

The official returns are all in, and

GENERAL GRANTS OPINIoN.-The
editor ofthe Lewiston, Maine, Journal,
has been favored with an interview
with General Grant at Washington,
and sends his paper some notes of the
conversation which occurred. The
first statement made is to the effect
that while the Lieutenant General
smoked twenty cigars a day in the
field, he now gets along with eight or
portance. General Grant recognizes
the presence of disloyal sentimentsin
the South
ga year ago." said he, "they were
willing to do anything; now they re-
gard themselves as masters of the stu
ation.'' ''Some of the rebel Generals"
ing all they can 10 induce the people to
throw aside their old prejudices and to
conform their course to the changed
condition of things. Johnston and
Dick Taylor particularly are exercising
"a good influence but Lee is behaving
badly. He is conducting himself very
differently from what / had reason,
from what he said at the time of the
surrender, to suppose he would. No
man at the South is capable of exercis-
ing n tenth part of the influence for
good that he is, but instead of using it
he is setting an example of forced ac-
quiescence so grudging and pernicious
in its effects as to be hardly realized"
The General expressed his opinion
that the tone of certain men and GER
tain papers" at the North is doing in
calculable mischief sin making the late
"rebels believe that they are just as
much entitled to rule as ever, and that
"if they will only stand by what they
"are pleased to call their rights they
twill have help from the North" and
reiterated his wish, expressed some
time ago, that "the New York DAILY
"Ne,rS and kindred sheets" might be
summarily suppressed. He expressed
the same views given in his lately pub
lished letter, as to the needed imme-
diate increase in the regular army, and
casually remarked that he thought
Sheridan, with two thousand AmerI-
can soldiers and plenty of American
officers, could "clean out Macmillan"
in six months, with the cooperation of
the Mexicans.

MONDAY MORNING, MAY rs.
TIE Wheeling "Ar6etter Freund''

THE Wheeling "ATbeiteT F'TeJnd''
German paper) speaks thus of the re-
suit of the election on Thursday last
"From the election returns that have
been received so far we are obliged to
admit that the Republican party has
come off victorious. This we have e1-
pected, and we are sorry we must gthH e
1t as our opinion that that part OF tne
free people which for the last nVe years
Opposed the revolutionary parity have
through unfulflled hopes anu uIcta. Sl
rial o6Dression become, to large e1-
tent sodull in their CONVICTION OF uuLyI
as to look almost carelessly upon the
course of passing events"
We are at loss TO know whom our
contemporary means to designate as "the
free people that for the last five years
have opposed the revolutionary party"
The Southern rebel newspapers are
in the habit of referring to the confed-
crates, when in arms, as constituting
that party. Does the "ArbetteT Frett'ld''
mean the allies of the confederates
bereabouts? Those who in Wheeling, in
Ohio county-in West Virginia, either
voted for the Ordinance of Secession, or
else coalesced, co-operated and symPa-
thized with those who so voted?
Union people understand that, in the
Language of Stephen A. Douglass, in
his last, and almost dying speech, that
during the last five years there were,
because their could only be, but two
parties-"patriots and traitors"-those
for the war constituting the one class,
and those opposed to it, the other class.
With whom did our contemporary affili-
ate? With the Unionists? We fear not.
But rather with the man and his
followers who made it their boast that
never had n man or a dollar been raised
for the prosecution of the war with their
consent. Mr.. Yallandigham during the
war talked just as glibly as our German
cotemporary about "the free people'
who were opposing the revolutionary
party. he, himself, claimed to be
the chief of said free people. The rest
of us were Lineoln's hirelings, and we
were branded as the would be invaders
and subjugators of a people struggling
for their Constitutional rights. We
were wagiug an unconstitutional war
in the interest of abolitionism, tyranny
and despotism. We would remind the
"4rbieter FreuHd'' that such was the
common talk of the so-called "conser-
natives" throughout the war. The same
talk comes from the same people now.
But it did not avail during the war-it
seduced some, of course, but it never
shook the confidence of the grand
masses of the people. They discerned
the fatality of such language-hoW
poisonous it must be to the body polite
should it become generally incorpora
ted, and hence they ignored the party
that employed it. 1t is time now to give
over such talk. If the Democracy
achieve success, and come into power
in the future, it can only be either be-
cause the people are ready to forget
their record previous to, during, and
since the war, or else in despite of that
record because of the blunders of the
Union party in the matter of reconstruc,
ton.

The New York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
In the announcement of deaths, published by
one or two of our papers on Monday, appeared
the information that one Philip Burrows died re-
Gently in town in Italy. But it seems to have es-
capped the usually retentive memory of our public
that quite long tale hangs upon this little item of
mortuary news, for this same moribund individual
was once lawyer OF some prominence here, en-
joing large and lucrative practice, and in the
confidence of many of our heaviest capitalists and
real estate owners.
He was counsel for the Van Rensselaers A. 7.
Stewart and Others in his day, his brother being,
while living, partner of the great dry goods mer
chant. In an evil day, however, Philip Burrows
event back" on both his clients and his character
by suddenly clipping for parts unknown, taking
with him large amount of money temporarily en-
trusted to his care by several estate, quorum
magma pars was the handsome sum of half mil
lion of money belonging to the Van Rensselaer,
family, and paid to him by Mr.. Stewart the pur.
chase price of the magnificent Metropolitan Hotel,
then just bought by Mr.. Stewart for the sum named.
Burrows was at the time acting for both parties
to the transaction. and upon delivery of the deed
of the property, was promptly placed in funds by
the purchaser But the temptation was too strong
to be resisted, and the legal gentleman inconti.
nently packed up his duds, gathered together what
little of other peoples funds he could get at han
dy and started for Tuscany where such things
as acquisitions and extradition nuisances are ig.
nored 1t is said that one or two Of his victims
followed him up with sharp stick; but when they
came to bring law to bear on him, he was swift
enough to turn the table upon them, whereby they
not only lost their suit, but had to foot heavy
costs.
NOR says that the Van Rensselaers did not get a
dollar for that handsome property. The buildings
having cost them nearly $500 900 to erect not to
speak of the value of the lots upon which they
than infntesimal. All this occurred fifteen or
twenty wears ago, and meanwhile Burrows has
