A New TICKET. The New York Herald has
started new hobby. It impresses, with consider
able force, upon the Southern people, the nsoess-
ty of heartily acquiescng In and ce7operating with,
the action Of Congress In the work Of reeenstxuc-
ton. It predicts speedy admission to Congress,
and the most auspicous results, generally, ss Ger
tain to flow from such course. IT. suggests TO
the Southern press, to show that they are in ear
nest, that they would make a decided hit BY pro

'The nomination of this ticket in the South
would operate so powerfully upon the Northern

proposed treaty Of peace, harmony, fraternity and
reunion, in the names Of Grant and Lee. -

BEAUTIFUL STARS.
BYJ. FORREST GowAN.
Beautiful stars! where'er roam
greet thy soft and mellow light;
On land or sea, mountain or vale,
Thou comest ever with the night.
Summer and Winter, beauteous Spring,
Fen in the ssd antumnal time,
The azure dome of Heaven is full
Ofthy bright beauty, SO divine!
Beautiful stars! the flowers which bloomed
In the fair summers Of the Past
Dropped and decayed when Winter came
And smote them with his icy blast;
But thou, forever art the same,
No Winter SHOWS can quench thy light;
Above the ices ofthe poles,
Or tropic plains thou shinest bright.
Beautiful stars our early friends
Have died, or changed, or left our side,
And many fond and cherished hope
Has withered in our hearts and died;
But ye look down upon us now
As brightly as in childhood hours;
Thy glow is no less beautiful,
Than when young hopes and joy were ours
Beautiful stars how many an eye,
That brighter beamed when we were near;
How many heart that loved us well,
And kept our image sweetly there;
How many hand, that pressed our own,
And rosy mouth, that called us dear,
Have left the life-path long ago,
No more our darkened lives to cheer.
Beautiful stars how oft beneath
Thy mellow light have hearts communed,
And fondly dreamed of future bliss,
Feeling their souls with hope attunedl
How many of those loving hearts
Look up 20 thee through binding tears,
And mourn the absent one, who loved
To roam with them in former years!
Beautiful stars all, all is change
In this low world on which ye shine;
And though no speech or languages heard
From out that holy light of thine
Yet, to the inner ear there comes
A whisper, fraught with sweetest cheer,
That 'bove the skies on which ye shine,
A true, IrNcHANa1Na God is therel

The Larceny Com nmittee.

The committee on the conduct of the
war has closed its sessions. The COM
mittee on the conduct Of jim FERGUSON
sat last night. We offered on Monday
to do anything in our power to facili.
tate the labors Of the committee, bnt
they have not yet signified any inten-
ton to avail themselves Of our assis-
tance. Nevertheless we adhere 10 our
original proposition to furnish the
names of reliable witnesses, unstained
with crime, who will substantiate ev-
cry accusation we have made.
We have brought certain charges of q
grave character against this man FER
GUsoN, and if the committee will per-
NIT us to aid them, and will exercise
their authority to send for persons and
papers, those charges will be made
good. If FERGUSON is innocent, he
will insist that full inSestis alton be
had, but if he be guilty, we shall ex-
pect him to continue to monopolize the
time of the committee in explaining
away the difficulties in which his
own contradictions have placed him.
We have our opinion of the worth of
such testimony as his statements, and
it is possible that by this time, the
have theirs. Certainly the
public have theirs, and they will not
forget that man who will steal will
lie to hide it.

Russiau Justice.

A French tourist has just published at
Paris q volume Of his Russian travels,
where he relates, among many other
characteristic traits of Mosoovite life,
the following rich story: ..n
In the battles before Sebastapol gen
tleman from Bessarabia, who had volun-
teered his sword to the Gar, greatly
distinguished himself by extraordinary
deeds of valor. The only survivor among
the officers Of whole battalion, he with
handful of men, recaptured . battery
from the French. The Emperor heard
of this incident, and acknowledged it
by donating large sum for the support
Of the crippled officers and the few men
who had escaped the carnage. When
the reward was distributed, the officer,
however, received only five silver ru-
suited by such a pittance, he set ont at
once for st. Petersburg, and placed the
money in the Emperor's own hands,
with the remark that it was not for five
rubies that he had imperiled life and
limb in the field. His Imperial Majesty
appeared no little astonished at this in
formation, and ordered Immediately an
inquiry, which disclosed the fact that
the members of the commission entrust-
ed with the reward had filed their own
pockets, from the highest to the lowest,
until only five rubies per head remaised
for the benefciaries. The aristocratic
thieves were sent to Siberia, while the
others received the stick, aud a new
commission was appointed which re-
warded the heroes as they deserved.
Unfortunately it is not all the villain
GUS transactions Of Moscovite officials
that meet with such retributive justice.
Russia is large, and the Czar far off, as
the Muschik says.

A COMMUNICATIONS appeared in the
REGISTER of Monday morning, in which
it was alleged that Captain McLuRE,
the Republican candidate for Mayor,
was about to oust one of his tenants, a
German, in order to rent the property in
question to two negroes. 1t was fur
thcr stated that the German was willing
to pay the rent demanded and retain
the property, if Captain McLuRE would
permit him. 1t is due to all. parties to
say that this statement is incorrect, and
does injustice to Captain McLCRE. Our
certainly misunderstood
the facts, as we believe was the case
with many others. We are satisfied
that he stated the circumstances as he
believed them to be, but as he was evil
IDENTIFY in error, and as we ourselves
were similarly misled, it is but right
that the acknowledgment be made.

quickly disappeared, and his present weight Is
more than two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his atten.
tion exclusively to the cure of Consumption and
the diseases which are usually complicated with

been very numerous and truly wonderful. DR..

The Fair and Festival

At Triadelphia this evening promises
to be an elegant affair. We are advised
that the ladies of Wheeling who have
labored so assiduously in getting up
this Festival, have completed their ar
rangements, and have left nothing un-
provided which can contribute to the
comfort of visitors. The Triadelphia
church viii certainly be greatly benefit
ed by their e1ertions, and the friends of
religious progress should not be behind
them in generous charity. We bespeak
for the Triadelphia Festival this even
ing that liberal patronage which our
people always extend upon such occa-
sions.

Burning Of the Brandon House.

The largest of our hotels, the Bran
don House, was burnt to the ground on
Tuesday night, the 22d inst.
The fire seems to have originated from
a defective flue in the third story. No
one seemed to know for!certain how it
but the chimney was seen
afterward to be very defective-a large
hole being in it--giving abundant OPP
portunity for sparks to escape into any
combustibles near it.
Very little of the furniture, bedding,
&c. was saved from the hotel though
some of our citizens risked their lives
in daring manner to save whatever
they could. ,- r.-.
The loss in the building, we under
stand. is about five thousand, and the
premises were insured for four thou
sand i've hundred. Mr.. Worthington's
loss in household goods is about one
thousand dollars. No insurance. The
burning of this hotel has made q large
blank in our street, and has added to
to the scarcity Of house-room so much
felt in Kingwood.

LETTER FROM ILLINOIS.
"A West Virginia Murderer-His
Arrest and Release.

ARCOLA, ILLINOIS, Jan. "a, 1907.
Editor Of the Register:
The town of Arcola is a heautiful
town situated on the Illinois Central
railroad, in Douglas county. Arcola
contains fifteen hundred inhabitants 6
athered from almost every State in the
Union. Consequently we find it On en-
terprising town. 1t is surrounded by
one of the most fertile countries in all
the Western prairies. go
We have counted as many as one hun.
dred wagons loaded with corn at one
time. Our town it is said, ships more
grain than any other point on the Gen.
trail road.
Business is quite dull, owing to the
inclement weather. The snow is
eighteen or twenty inches deep and you
would naturally suppose time to be
killed by sleighing; while my neigh
bOrs are sleighing, am only a specta-
tor. We have been stopping here sew
eral days, but we have seen or heard but
little worth communicating. 'r
Our curiosity was somewhat excited
on the 18th Of this month. While q
number of us were seated in the Arcola
hotel spinning our yarns we were inter
rupted by o detective entering and
seizing one of our party, filling the
description of man in the neighbor-
hood. of Chicago charged with brntally
numbering his wife and child. In OK
aminipg the prisoner he had not a-let-
ter, day-book, or any friends to prove
himself clear of the charge, but claimed
he was from Taylor county, w. Va and
his name was Benz. Smith, and son of
Jessie Smith. Mr.. L., gentleman from
that county, was brought to question
the prisoner, and soon satisfied the officer
that he was from Virginia, but he had
never seen him before.
The officer released said Smith, but
said he knew he was a guilty man. Mr..
X. was then brought in to see if he
could give any account of the said
Smith. Mr.. X. Immediately recognized
him as Benjamin X. Martin, of Marion
county, w. Va, who had some months
since murdered certain Ezekiel Mar
tin, and had not been heard of since.
Martin says he was going to Texas and
stopped here to await two of his friends
who expected to meet him here. The
names of his companions were Octavis,
Shaver and Dave Province, who are
said to be suspicious characters. The
officers have let this villain escape, for
some cause, but we hope such ma.
rauders seen yet come to Justice.

A romance Of love and larceny has
just come to light in the police court in
New Orleans. A lady in bridal array
waited vainly in church, while he who
should have officiated as bridegroom
was selling her diamond cross, worth
81 800, to pawnbroker. The recreant
lover, a we'll known dry goods clerk OF
the city, attempted to commit suicide
after his incarceration for the crime,
but was prevented by public spirited
jailer, who thought the city could not
spare a citizen so enterprising.
