The condemnation of Father MCMAHON
is a disgrace to Canada, to England and
to the age. No greater outrage can be
inflicted upon the moral sentiment OF
Christendon than the execution of the
sentence that has been passed upon him.
1t is no wonder, in view of this
proceeding, that the Fenians IN
the United States are rapidly enrolling
new members in their organization,
arming speedily, and perfecting their
drill. 1t is no wonder that they are burn
inc with a desire to either rescue their
comrades from a felon's death or stern
ly avenge their blood. 1t is no wonder
that the American public has abandon
cd whatever sympathy for the Cana
dian cause it may have felt heretofore,
and now protests against the course OF
the Canadian authorities with an
earnestncss which may be followed up
by force.
The men who have been so unjustly
condemned to death, and the remaining
prisoners who will probably DE sen
fenced to share the fate of those whose
trial has concluded, are American citi-
zens. This punishment by the Canadian
authorities for crimes which they have
not committed, is an insult to our peo-
pie and our government which will not
be tamely overlooked.

True Boys in Blue.

Weinvite attention TO the advertise
ment in another column, calling for n
meeting of the True Boys in Blue" of
this city, to take action for perfecting
their organization throughout the State.
This is a move in the right direction.
Had it been made sooner, the result of
the late election would not have been
quite so satisfactory to the Radical man
ayers. There was and is a very large
proportion of the Union soldiers from
West Virginia, unalterably opposed to
the centralizing and negro suffrage
schemes of the Destructives, and if this
element had been properly..organized, its
influence for good would have been al
most incalculable. The Conservative
Union soldiers are mostly reading, think
ing, active men-men into whose views
no element of passion is permitted to en-
ter, whose convictions are the result of
calm and dispassionate reasoning, and
whose political action is marked by that
steady, earnest devotion to principle
which can only he shown by men who
are satisfied that they are in the right
Such is the character of the
Union soldiers in West Virginia and
everywhere, who are opposed to radical
ism and disunioniSm in all its forms.
1t is with such men that the True Boys
in Blue propose to unite, so as tn form
the State an organization
of tried and trusty veterans, whose
combined efforts in behalf of law
and government may be as effective
now, as when they met and crushed
braver rebellion than that which now
threatens our institutions. We call
upon the Democratic and Conservative
soldiers of West Virginia to aid them in
the work they have undertaken. Themis-
sion of the bullet has succeeded against
the treason of the South: the mission of
the ballot is to destroy the rebellion of
the North. The same laws are dcfied,
the same liberties endangered, and the
same Government imperilled, that were
ieoparded by the Southern rebellion,
and we doubt. not that the same men
who defeated the armed and warning
foes of the Republic will still be found
battling against those enemies of the
nation who are comprising the destruc-
ton of the Government by means no
less fatal than the fearful blows of
treason's iron hand.

The Montreal Herald thus refers to an
experiment made in that city by q lead
ing manufactures, with the object OF
employing peat for smelling purposes:
Mr.. McDongall and his foreman, Mr..
Watson, president of the Canada Iron
Smelling Co., himself a practical man,
Mr.. Walter Stanley, C. E., and various
other gentlemen present, expressed the
decided opinion that the quality pro-
duced by the peat was very far superior
to that from the coal, being together,
more compact and possessing more OF
the qualities of wrought iron. In this
opinion Mr.. Eaton, superintendent OF
the Grand Trunk locomotive depart
ment, to who the samples were shown,
fully conceded. Mr.. McDougall, who
has large contracts for railway wheels,
is confident that this new fuel will ena-
BILE him TO make better and stronger
wheels than have ever before been pro-
duced.

PRoTEGE OF MRS. JEFF. DAyIs.-The
Christian Register tells the following: A
little boy was baptized on Sunday af-
ternoon at the church in Indiana place,
Boston, whose history was interesting.
After jefferson Davis was taken priso-
ner, Mrs. Davis sent this little colored
boy (almost white, however.) about
seven years old, to General Saxton, with
a letter, in which she told him this
story: She said that in 1861, passing a
house in Richmond, she heard a child
scream, and going in. found this child,
whose mother was q free colored woman,
who left him at her death in the care Of
Others, who ill-treated him. Mrs Davis
said she took the child home, and they
all became very fond Of him. He shared
their fortunes and misfortunes, and
when obliged to fly from Richmond
they took him with them. She requested
General Saxton 10 treat him well, which
it is not necessary 10 say he did. But
when General Saxton was removed from
the Department, he gave the child TO
the care of one Of the teachers Of the
Educational Commission, who had
brought him North, and introduced him
to the Christian institution last Sun
day. The little boy is very bright and
sweet, and is n great fsyorite. Who
wishes to take him and bring him up !

Ed. REGISTER:
The election passed Off very quietly in

are elected by about fifty majority. 1t
is thought the whole of the State ticket
received about the same number of votes,
but the interest III county officers over
shadowcd all the others, and we can get
no reliable information rs to them from

113 majority.
Cabell county is reported to have gone
100 majority for the radicals, clecting
Jim Ferguson to the Legislature. 1t is
said that the radicals in that county all
hurried up to register, and then induced
the township registrars to resign, and
left that office vacant. Logan went
