Ii Is our sad task to announce this
morning the sudden death of Mrs. MARY
L. LONG, the estimable wife of o. S.
LONG, Esq, the former editor of this
paper. Mrs. LONG died at 10 o'clock on
yesterday morning, at her home on
Clay street.
Her illness had been brief, and not
until day or two before her death was
she thought to be in danger. Almost
without warning this blow has fallen.
bringing sadness and mourning to many
homes, aud leaving him to whom she
was nearest and dearest, heart-broken
and desolate.
The deceased was warmly esteemed
by hosts of friends. II was the lot of
many to know and admire her as she
moved in the home circle, crowned with
the gracts and beaming with the good
ness that make the fire-side attractive
and happy. 1t will now be their high
to mingle their grief with the
tears of her kindred, in bewailing the

GRANT TOWNSHIP, MARION COUNTY,
W. Va, December 10 1867 !
Editor Of the Register.
1t does seem that stealing public mon
ey is one of the most essential elements
in Radical loyalty.
The object Of this communication is
to inquire of our honest and truthfal
County Superintendent, who got more
than half of the Sl3s5 50, which the
State Superintendent's report for 1866,
says the School Commissioners receivedf
There are twenty-one commissioners in
the county. The Board of Supervisors
allows them s15 per year each which
would be 1915 for the year, which would
leave a balance of slO70 50, which the
commissioners did not lawfully receive,
If said report includes all that was paid
to commissioners from the formation of
the state to that time it still leaves a
balance of S755 80 unlawfuliy used.
Now. Mr.. Editor, do hope Mr.. Boyd
will not get angry, for this is very
critical time with him, the state con-
tisgent fund in the Governors hand be-
ing very low and his patrons not paying
him very we'll. will be very sorry If
he has to suspend, for he has done more
for the Democratic party than any other
man in the country.

Your Committee call this Convention in view
Of tie existing necessity for prompt and

One of the editors of the Memphis
ArGldHche has just completed a three
weeks sojourn in Arkansas. He gives
a gloomy picture of the state of affairs in
that State. He says:
The reports which have reached this
city have not been exaggerated. In
deed, the condition Of the country is
worse than represented. Gloom and
despair peryade the minds of the entire
farming population. The losses of those
engaged in the culture Of cotton will be
enormous. But few will pay expenses.
The losses this year are much larger
than those of last year. Planters are
rapidly paying off and discharging their
hands, being unable to feed them longer.
The negro is completely demOralized.
Most of them have largely oyerdrawn
their wages; and, having learned this
fact, many of them have abandoned
their employers, leaving the cotton still
unpicked, and the result is, plant
ters are compelled to employ
others to pick out their Gotten, for
which labor they have already paid. As
30 many planters will refuse to raise
cotton next year, thousands of negroes
will be thrown out Of employment, and
they will be forced TO live by regular
system of pilfering and robbery. They
have already commenced killing stock,
stealing horses, pioUs and harness, with
a view Of setting mp for themselves next
year. Game Is abundant in Arkansas,
and most of those who have abandoned
their employers are living by hunting
and fishing. All Of them have either a
repeater sr . gun, or both, but their
great trouble seems to be IN purchasing
caps, powder and shot. Those who have
stock or anything to steal live in con-
slant dread. The same state Of affairs
exists throughout tho Southern States.
What we saw and heard in Arkansas
can be seen in everysection fthe South.

upon the people of the State by the
Radicals, and enact others in their stead
that would be in perfect harmony with
the principles of justice and right, that
would in no wise conflict with the free
dom of the citizen, or prevent him from
exercising or enjoying his inalienable
rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. They would see that no
man be taxed unless they had extended
to him the right to vote. They would
turn out of office the whole army of
demagogues who now occupy public
positions in the county, and put honest
men in, and thus free themselves and
the county from the tyranny and op-
preston that now blights like mil
dew all the material interests of the
people. They would never send to the
Legislature from this county, men who,
like the present members, were advo-
Gates of negro equality. They would
not reappoint to office any man who,
like the Rev. Joseph Turner, of this
county, could so far forget and disregard
the principle of justice as to levya tax
upon some of his neighbOrs, double that
imposed upon others. They would not
elect Board of Supervisors for this
county, who, like the present one, would
make honest toll pay into the hands of
the tax gatherers, fifteen hundred dol
lars yearly as contingent fund to be
used for party or some other nefarous
purpose. They certainly never would
elect TO any office any man who, like
one of the members elected to the Log
islature from Marshall county, would
allow a negro to eat at the same table,
at the same time, with himself and fam
lily, and who, by his example, his argu-
ments and associations, expresses de-
sire that the day may soon come when
the negro may by right and custom
claim and take to his embrace and
bosom our fair daughters, and be fit
associate and companion of all within
our household. They would never ele-
vate q man to the high and responsible
Office of Judge of the Circuit Courts of
the State, who would in times Of high
political excitement endeavor, by 10 "
flung, political harangus, to prejudice
the minds of jury against his political
opponents, as did Z. H. Caldwell, of
this circuit. They would not elect men
to the Legislature who had been in the
habit of stealing hogs, overcoats, car.
pet sacks and "sich." Is this answer ex-
plicit enough, Mr.. Nationali

FROM GILMER COUNTY.

Editor Of the Register
Death come thou, in what form thou
mayst, thou, oh thou art terriblef The
Radical party Of Gilmer county is no
more;-its dissolution is attributed
alone to its antecedent villainy; the cry
of despair, goes up from every Radical
hole in the county; the troubled throes
of its death agony were terrible to be-
hold.
Through the influence of designing
partisans some good meaning, and hon
est hearted men, were unfortunately
duped into the Radical ranks; it was not
long, however, ere they found that it
would he far more honorable to break
bread with robber, and keep faith
with liar, than to affiliate with such a
faction. Repenting of their folly, and
washing from their garments the stencil
of Radicalism, they with truth be it said
returned to first principles, and have be-
come good citizens.
Point out a man in Gilmer county,
who is Radical at heart, and to the
world will be presented man upon
whose soul is indelibly engraved the
motto, proud of being mean," and that
motto will ever remain, even to the re-
gions of unblest eternity. Practical
illustrations of the moral turpitude Of
the defunct party might be cited, caus-
ing the mind to shrink back aghast at
its contemplation, but let us "tread
lightly DER the ashes of the dead" In
tie district composed of the counties of
Gilmer and Calhoun, Alexander Huff
man of the latter county, gentleman
of the Jeffersonian school of politics,
was elected to the Legislature of West
Virginia. Great effects were made by
the flapdoodles to defeat Mr.. Huffman's
election by discarding the votes ofGlen-
Vile Township, but the little Republic
of Calhoun came to the rescue and saved
the old gentleman's bacon by majority
of some sixteen votes, consequently at
the next meeting of the Legislature he
may be expected there or ihereabouts.
The question, is seriously discn ssed
in official circles, as to the prOprlety
of appointing George L-Minister,
Envoy Extraordinary, PlenipOtentiary
to the Court of King Arthur, in order
to get that Sovereign to acknowledge
the independence of the little republic
of Calhoun, whose Capital alias Court
House, is as portable as steam saw
mill, or the tent of wandering Arab on
the sandy desert of Sahara.
In conclusion allow it to be said, that
had it been permitted by an Overruling
Providence, for ths Radical party, to
have swayed for any definite number OF
years the destinies of the American peo-
pie, it would soon have repeated reign
of terror like that when Jacobin France
illustrated the doctrines of its -socialfs-
tie creed in the blood flowing streets OF
its capital, and in the worship of the
Goddess ofits own reason: whilst tramp
ling under its feet, the word of God.

The marriage of whites and blacks is
great rarity in this section. No such
act has eyer been committed by the
meanest of white men, that We have
ever heard of, and the white woman
must indeed be sunk lew who consents
to such connection. On Thursday af-
ternoon, one of those mixed couples ar
rived in Columbus, and obtained lodg-
iDgs that night in one of the freedmen's
houses on Front street. The pair con-
sisted of negro man and a white wo-
man-the former being the best locking
of the two. They had been married on
last Thursday morning in LaGrange,
and on the train we're accommodated IN
the second class car. We are told they
are from Columbus Ga. } Ss8.

And still the people move. The grand
reaction is still sweeping over the land.
Pittsburg-the banner Radical city OF
the Observation-Disclosures q terrible re-
buke to Radicalisn and all her corrup-
tious.
We make no attempt to disguise the
fact that this result has been achieved
by the aid of Republican votes. So,
for that matter, have most of the vic
tories with which the Democratic BAN
ner has this year been crowned. So,
too, in all probability, will the Demo
cratic candidate for the next Presi-
dency be successful through the assist
ance of the.thousands of thinking, Re-
publican taxpayers whe can no longer
endure the iniquities with which their
party is cursing the country.
Party discipline may lead intelligent
men a great distance, but there is a point
beyond which they will not 60. Rad
icalism has exceeded its limits. 1t has
overtasked the endurance of the masses.
Ii has evertaxed the patience Of the
people. They will not follow it to des-
potism or anarchy. They will not en-
dorse its wild schemes of national ruin.
The Pittsburg Radical papers
attribute the success Of the De-
mocraey to corruptions in the
Radical ranks. This is virtual
abandonment Of the field. Faith with
out works is dead" and the Radical
faith without Radical corruptions is
worse than dead; it is CHASTITY impos-
sibility. Whenever the concession is
made that Radicalism cannot succeed
unless IT is honest, it is also conceded
that Radicalism must die.
1t and corruption are 80 intimately
and vitality related that one cannot ex'
ist without the other. We have heard
the following question earnestly dis
cussed: Does Radicalism breed
corruption, or does corruption
breed Radicalismr The people art
disposing Of the problem in a very
summary manner. They are going t.
render either Radicalism or corruption
impossible by destroying both. Thel
whichever may be the parent and whici
the child, the breed will be stopped.
