"OUR neighbours declaration in favor
OF negro suffrage comes none too soon,
If he still desires TO maintain caste in
the radical party in this State. The
Eace between the Richie Press and the
1STELLIGENcER promises TO be lively
one, and we utter the words of prophecy
and hope when we say the Devil take
the :hindmOst.' The people of West
virginia will be neither grieved nor
disappointed il the Devil takes them
BOTH"
The above elegant and delicate ex-
tract is from the Register of yesterday.
It will be- seen that the editor still
shoots al interior game on the negro
suffage question. This was his chronic
habit during the late campaign. He
uncorked all the visls of mis- wrath on
the ISTELLIGESCRR, and other papers of
the State, as well as on Foreman il
Co.." but never word had he to say
about President Johnson's letters and
public avownls in favor of negro suf-
frage. We have in vain called his at
tentiOu to the Sharl1ey letter and to the
Stearns' conversation, both official
documents, but somehow he never
seems to sec them. So likewise, we
presume, he will never see that Demo-
cratic vote in Boston the other day for a
negro candinate. It is altogether likely
also that he ignores the editorials of
several of his Democratic exchanges in
Iavor of negro suffrage. We see that he
never quotes much nowadays from the
Chicago Tunes, Boston Post, Rochester
UntoH, and several other reputed negro
suffrage papers Of his own household.

hence are responsible for the death of

In this instance the World is right.
Diplomatic form is well enough6 when
it goes by mail, but when the cable is
used at an expense of 81 so per word,
brevity is indeed the soul of wit. In

one dispatch from Mr.. Seward to Mr..

neat sum of SIS, coo in gold!

what a Dlnereneo i'm style Costs.

Secretary Seward was once the espe-
cial favorite OF the New York World,
but that day is past and gone. The
polished Secretary is now the unlucky
target for the World, and day after day
it launches its shafts at him, which, as
they are often tipped with truth and
aimed at the wide gaps in the victims
armor, always find lodgment. The
World does not like the reckless use the
Secretary makes of that expensive me-
dunn OF communication, the Atlantic
cable, and gives instances which are
really Of interest TO tax-ridden people.
1t sets side by side two dispatches, one
from Consul Hale to Seward, announc-
ing the arrest of SuEratt, and Stewards
answer, directing Hale whnt to do with
him, as follows
