The r lection.

A more perfect farce was never enact
ed, than the recent election in this State.
Not one half of the citizens, or Of the
property of the State was represented
in the vote cast. In majority Of the
counties, the Registry Law, bad as it is,
was openly and shamefully violated by
Registrars and Boards of Registration.
These officials, il is true, acted in many
cases, under special instructions from
Gov. Boreman, whose conduct has dis
Graced him forever in the estimation of
every fair-minded and honorable citizen
of the State-but as the law was their
only rnle. of action, il is no justification
Of their illegal acts, that they were COM
mitted under this inscriptions Cover
nor's direction. He was o candidate for
reelection; and if he could only use
these men, Tin most cases ignorant and
irresponsible rs tools to carry ont his
selfish and ambitious ends, what cared
he for the violations Of the rights Of
their fellow citizens, Of which they
should be guilty. Besides, they were
appointed by him expressly to do his
dirty work-and If any were found to
be troubled with conscientious scru-
pies, or honorable sentiments in obey
ing his vile behests, their dismissal fol-
lowed at once, and creatures more plant
were appointed in their place. What
the actual result of the election is, the
returns are as yet too imperfect to ena-
BILE us to announce. Bat whatever the
trae result is, the returns, made up en-
tirely BY Radical ofice-holders, viii be
so manipulated as to give majority to
that party. Honesty and fairness from
the leaders of this unprincipled and des-
perate faction are not looked for.

Auo,ber Revolutionary Step.

The "Sailors' and Soldiers Union," of
Washington City, radical organiza-
ton, has issued call to the members
of their society in the northern States
to assemble in force at the Federal capi-
tai on Saturday, December lst, to be
present at the opening of Congress. on
the following Monday. The call looks
to the establishment ola body of armed
men in Washington City, who will
obey the orders of the revolutionary
cabal controlling the Congress, and de-
fy the authority of the Constitution and
of the President of the United States.
1t is q direct attempt to overawe the
President, and compel his compliance
with the dictates of the radical faction in
Congress. 1t BODIES evil tothe republic and
to the peaceful and faw-abiding people of
the States. 1t is the marshalling of the
forces of new insurrection; an insur-
rection more dangerous to the liberties
of the people than that recently quelled.
The radical foes to the national peace
are taking the initiative in n contest
which, if their designs are carried out,
will be fierce and bloody without pre-
cedent in the history of the world. and
will inevitably destroy the last vestige
of American freedom.
The people must arouse themselves to
meet and avert the danger. 1t is real
and imminent. The first Monday of
December will witness the national
capital in possession of an organized
and infuriated mob determined upon
revolution and ready to obey the bloody
counsels of the bad men who control
the partizan and illegal Congress.
must be done speedily by
the friends of constitutional govern
ment to thwart the plans of the con-
spirators and compel obedience to law.

From the Clarksburg Conservative
which Tells the Truth

We see it stated that Governor Bore
man denies that he ordered the name Of
Colonel Joshua d. Wilson to be stricken
from the Registrars books of Coal
township, in this county. The Regis
trar of that township, who was an In
spector of Elections, and q candidate
for Recorder, told Mr.. Wilson that he
had been instructed by Governor Bore
man to strike his name from the list.
II matters but little to the people OF
the State of West Virginia who
tells the truth. An Outrage has
been perpetrated by the Radical
party upon the principles of our
government, and upon the purity
Sf our elections, and as it has been
done in accordance with the policy OF
those who are overriding the majority
of the people for their owo personal and
pecuniary bonefit, it matters but little
whether il was done by the principal or
by an understrapper. The effect is the
same. The law has been violated and
our institutions outraged, that law
breakers may hold Offices for which they
are not qualified. We leave the ques-
tion of yeracity to be settled by Gov
ernor Boreman and Registrar Inspector
of Elections Recorder elect, Taylor,
themselves, and leave the people to de-
eide what they think CT such officers
and tho party that elected them.

MURDER In KENTUCKY.
Au VIu HBHuy IAhfheu Uy NoBrO
From the Louisville Courier, Nov. IL


Day after day We are called upon to
make additions to the catalogue OF
crime, and each new instance increases
in horror, as though it was not sufficient
to commit deed of murder, but feroc.
ity compels the mutilation of the body
of the victim. The last and saddest
case that has come to our knowledge is
an atrOcious murder committed near
the town of Bowling Green, in which a
poor old woman named Still was the
victim, and three negro men were the
perpetrators. The following are the
circumstances, as related to us by the
parties who came up on last nights
train:
On Saturday last the poor woman had
occasion to visit the office of a lawyer
in Bowling Green, and while there she
mentioned to the lawyer that she had
s65 out at her house, which was about
mile from town, near the race course.
There were present in the Office when
she made this revelation three negro
men, one of whom was named Lewis
the names of the other two having been
forgott en- by orr informant.
On Monday morning, rs soon as
breakfast was concluded, Mrs. Stills
son, lad of twelve or fourteen years,
went out to his work. 1t was a par
ticularly gloomy and cool day, with al
most continuous fall of drizzling rain.
Some time in the forenoon the lad
found it to be SO cold that he was
compelled to return to the house for
his shoes. On entering, most horrid
sight presented itself. The body of his
poor mother lay upon the floor, her head
split open with an axe, and several
wounds upon her body, where the axe
had been driven in, as though the mon
strous perpetrators of the hellish deed
were determined to make sure and GER
tain work. The poor lad raised the
alarm, and on searching for her little
treasure it was discovered to be gone.
The neighbors then examined the
soft ground about the house, and dis
covered tracks leading to and from the
building, one of which showed that the
party wore a shoe run down Mt the side
and break about the centre of the
sole. As soon as the news of the ap-
palling tragedy was conveyed to the
town, the lawyer remembered that she
had spoken of her money to him on
Saturday, and also that the man Lewis
and two other negroes were present at
the time.
On the above information the three
parties was arrested and onone of Lewis
feet was discovered the shO c that made
the peculiar track spoken of above. On
applying it to the track the peculiar
marks fitted il exactly. This seemed
to identify him as one of the murdercrs.
All three were lodged in Jail, charged
with participation in the horrid crime.
The victim was very exemplary, in
dustrious woman; had given the fiends
no offense, and was evidently murdered
for the little money she possessed.
