absent more than six weeks That it
might be necessary for him whilst gone,
to cross the lines, and go to Richmond,

Editors of the Register
The old adage which advises those
who live in glass houses not to throw
stones, will sometimes prove as true
with regard to those who live in high
places and I'll State offices as of other
people
The Board of Registration have had
several days trial at throwing out the
names of some of the best citizens of
this county, but frou want of sufficient
evidence have failed in most of the
cases, Notwithstanding the Hon. Mar
cellus McWhorter, Auditor of the State
of West Virginia, ihas been down here,
from his salaried office in Wheeling
(Which salary, by the by, is paid by all
the peuple), to hunt up evidence against
some of our citizens He tried his hand
on me, but his witness failed to remem-
Der as much when under oath as he talked
on the streets, which is apt to be the case.
Now, Mr.. Editor, happen to known the
record of the honorable office holder,
and propose togive you little OF 1t. The
registration oath, believe, goes back to
June lst, 1861; well, in June or July as
near as | can remember, there was
party of men left our county to join the
Southern army, and Mr. McWhorter
knew their intention, and seeing them
depart, shook hands with the gentleman
who was afterwards Captain of the COM
pany, and bid him God speed and sue
cess. When the Union troops were eX-
pected in our county town, Mr.. McWhor-
ter packed up the record, he then being
Clerk Of our Court, and rs | remember,
hid them from the government soldiers,
and when told by another gentleman
who has also since been n Captain IN the
Confederate service, that he Mr.. McW,)
would be the first man to betray the rec.
ords to the troops, said No III suffer
death first You will find me rs true and
loyal to old Virginia as any man IN IT. 10
several other gentlemen, he said, That
although he voted for the Union, when
the State of Virginia went out of the
Union he went out with it, and would be
found as loyal to the State of Nlglnla
as any man in it. When the Federal
troops were thought to be near the
place, several persons saw him with his
family with their bundles, in the street,
asking earnestly which way to flee, and
we all know that we do not usually flee
from our friends, SO we must naturally
conclude that he looked upon them as
his enemies.
These are not mere assertions for II
necessary, l can furnish the sworn testi-
mony of men who know it, all to be true,
and they are mGn who will not be found
wanting in the hour of trial.
Yours truly, VOTER
