Good News from jackson.

A private letter from Jackson county
assures us that the good work is pro-
crossing finely in that region. Our cor,
respondent says:
The political feeling is waxing warm
in this county. We have great hopes OF
defeating the Radicals for, at least, some
of the most important offices. | think
that Lieut.. Geo. j. Walker the Conserv-
ative candidate for the House of Dele
gates, will be elected. He is a live man
and pleasant speaker. He has already
opened the campaign, and is throwing
hot shot into the camp of the Radicals.
Mr.. Walker was Lieutenant in the
Ninth West Virginia Regiment--was q
brave officer and admired by ell of his
brave comrades in arms. j. NJ. Greer
the Conservative candidate for Sheriff
will be elected without doubt, and Isaac
n. Westfall, Conservative candidate tol
Clerk of the Court, 1 think will also be
elected, and as to the State ticket noml
mated aU Parkersburg on the 22d of Au.
gust, they will get the unanimous and
hearty support of all Conservative vo
tiers. No man stands higher in the esti
nation of the people of this county thar

Tolls ON the National Roads.

Editors of the Register:
l have concluded that it is high time
that the citizens of this and the adjoin-
ing counties, who pay toll on the Nation
al OF. Cumberland road, should know
something of their rights and the amount
of toll that should be exacted from each
individual, without learning from the
man who stands at the window on cleo
tion day to challenge votes and his hire
ling who stands at the tollgate to demand
your toll without knowing what amount
he is entitled to demand. If my memo.
nv serves me ri sht, under the laws of the
State of Virginia the gate-keeper was
compelled, under q penalty and fine for
neglecting, to have the rates Of toll
posted up 80 that any one travelling could
see the amount of toll per mile which he
was expected to pay. But why it is neces-
sary to call these things in question Z!
All who have given this matter the slight
est reelection must see that the road for
the last four o. five years has been used
as a political machine, for the Board of
Public Works lave no authority to make
the appointment OF any one as super
intendent of tie road or as gate.keeper.
But the people who have been using that
road have bee quiet and inottensive,
and rather thai make trouble have SUBJ
mitted to the man who stands at the
window on election day and questions
their right to vote. They have paid
what would ha sufficient to keep the
road ia repair and let favorites 60 scot
free aud commute their toll, as many of
them have dor =, while the Democrats
have been Coz! pelled to pay tribute TO
the last cent.
Tb, history o5 that road would be too
lengthy for this article, but, at the prop,
or time, it will be shown that the Board
of public work of West Virginia have
no more right tn control that road than
any other inolviduals-onl to mako
votes. ..r
The time wa when the parties along
that road thou mt that it was made for
the benefit of the United states, but re-
Gently they ha, discovered that it was
made rs trap to catch voters for the
Black Republican party, and to keep up
a set of paupers The amount of toll col
lected on that J ad ought to be sufficient
to keep up two such roads, but the pres
ent SuperinteI dent, or the man who
stands at the indow on election days,
keeps some four or FIVE hands and yoke
of cattle. and does as much in a week as
one good hand would accomplish; but it
is all charged - the road expenses, and
we, Who are tbn dupes, must pay. We
have been told hat when they have got
all things right the toll should be re-
duced, but ] fear that time will never
come. 1t is like The coney and the rabbit
every jump the farther off.
The time was when those along the
road could haul out manure without
paying toll, brt now the utmost cent is
exacted. 1t is a great injury to both
city and country; the city wants the
filth removed aud the lands want the
manure. But more on this subject in my
next A Toll PAYER.

one of the distinguished Southern 10y

circus, has returned home without full
filling his mission. Whether he became

not. At all events, something has gone
