LOCAL & BUSINESS SUMMARY.
Change OF Schedule.


1t will be seen by advertisement in our col
umns that change of running time on the
Winchester Railroad has taken place. Also
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and that
an additional "Fast Line passenger train has
been put upon the latter road This addition
will give increased facilities 10 the travelling
public We learn the average speed OF the
''Fast Line" will be 25 miles per hour, inclu-
ding all stoppages- sufficiently fist for all
practical purposes. The Baltimore'Sun, in re-
ferring to the change, says
Arrangements have been made by which
all these trains connect regularly with connect
ing lines both East and West. Under this i'm
proved schedule, the time occupied in transit
between Baltimore and Columbus. Cincinnati,
Chicago, st. Louis, and other distant points,
will be materially lessened, and afford to the
travelling community advantages which have
not heretofore been enjoyed
In connection with these improved facilities
for travel between the East and West, and with
| a view TO promote the interests of the traveller,
tickets have been placed on sale mall theprin-
cipal cities West, emitting the holder TO visit
the national capital without additional charge
The season for general travel is now at hand,
and the grandeur of the scenery along the en-
tire route of the Baltimore and Ohio road, ir
respective of its fine equipments and depOtS
and dining halls and other convenienccs for the
comfort of Travellers, ought not only insure a
continuance of its general patronage, but at
tract thousands of others seeking business or
pleasure East or West 1t is learned'that the
double track, which has been in course Of con-
structiOn for many months past, is now practi-
cally completed between Baltimore and Cum
berland, assistance ofnearly two hundred miles
while the work beyond that point is continued
steadily. With that portion now in use the
operations of the company, especially with re-
gard to freights, are being greatly facilitated
and afford superior advantages to shippers

months past has accomplished so much for our
merchants in the rapid transportation ofireight,
now leaves Camden Station daily at 1910,

At Their Dirty Work.

The Board of Registrars Of this County are
again at their dirty work In order to keep in
the ascendant theyare serving notices, of which
the following is a sample, upon all voters Sas-
Dscted of holding conservative sentiments:

BOARD OF REGISTRATION, SIS.
To BARNEY MCKABE,
You are hereby notified to appear before the
Board of Registration of said County, on the
first Monday Of May, 1867, with satiSiac Dry
proof that YOU are a qualified voter in Harper 5

your failure so to do your name will be strick-

age. He is required to foot it to shepherds

proof that Chel you are a qualified voter" al
though Mr. McKabe has voted for the last three
consecutive elections And We heard it stated
that he voted for the transfer of Jefferson Coun-

The Virginia and West Virginia Suit.

WASIuxGToN. May Tn the Supreme
Court of the United States the case OF the
Commonwealth of Virginia vs.. the State OF
West Virginia was taken up, and Is still on ar
-rment This case raises directly the question
Of the status Of Virginia In the Union, as West
Virginia disputes the right Of her Legislature
o. make any valid or binding enactments, Con-
yrcss not having, as yet recognized her as a
constitutional State, or State IN the Union.
The immediate question is as TO the juriSdic-
tion over the Counties Of jefferson and Berke--
Ice AZ present within the limits Of West Viz
rinia but claimed by the o,d Commonwealth
IN have been transferred by means OF fraudu-
lent representations made to her Governor.
A decree is asked 70 reinstate those count
within the jurisdiction of the old State The
argument will probably occupy two days.
Hon. b. Stanton, Of Ohio, and Mr.. Allison,
with Hon Beverdy Johnson, represent the
State Of West Virginia, and Andrew Hunter,
Esq, of Jefferson County, Virginia, andJudge
BENJAMIN r. Curtis of Boston, appear on be-
half Of the Old Dominion.
Mr.. johnson was named in a resolution of
the Virginia Legislature as one Of the counsel
for the State, but he gave his Senatorial vote
and influence for the iniquitous transfer Of our
territory and people to the bastard concern
which now rules over us. Mr.. Johnson Is
against us, but we trust to our able counsel
Mess-s. Curtis and Hunter, and to the truth
and Justice Of our cause, for victory over
the vilest set Of knayes and fools which ever
cursed an abused and outraged community.

Gov. Peirpoint experimenting.

We learn from the Richmond papers that
the radical Governor Of Virginia is eldeavor-
ing to play the agreeable to the dusky race,
and to make himself acceptable to Sumner and
crew. He has appointed John Oliver, mu-
latto man, a notary public for the city Of Rich
moud aud county Of Heorico. Oliver is said
to lie a man of responsibility and intelligence,
but why this hot haste Of the Governor to sig
nalisc his devotion to the black clcmont?-
When the military satrapy is withdrawn, and
the time arrives for The selection ola Governor
he will look for a kind andaaectionato remem-
brauce. He has secured the vote and inAu-
ence Of John Oliver beyond peradventurc.

The church Case at shepherdstown
From he BALTIMORE Epi.cop0l Msthodist.

Prom the baltimore EPtseoPos -ne"
The following letter has Just been received
from the Rev. w. G. Coe, which will give our
readers some idea of the status of the Northern
Church. 1t will be remembered that Shep-
herdstown is in Jefferson County, which was
most unnaturally thrown out of its proper po-
siton by a factious minority by the aid OF the
bayonet. and tackled on to West Virginia. The
marty claiming to be the Baltimore Conference
has no sympathy with at least seyen-tenths of
the people of jefferson. Nay, iine-tenths OF
the population, men, women and children, are
with the Southern Methodist Church. How
utterly useless are all such attempts at enforced
subsection to radical supremacy, and what
scandal to the Christian name to keep such
partizan preachers in countenance by means oil
Northern missionary money. The case, how
ever is to 90 before the Court Of Appeals, but
il has long since been decided at the bar of
public opinion:
MEssEs. EDITORS The brethren here de-
sire me to say to you that the suit of the North
ern Methodist Church against them for the re-
covery. of the church and parsonage house, has
lust been decided in favor of the Northern
claimants This was expected bymany OF our
members though for what reason | cannot
imagine. Such result could hardly have
come from an equitable construction OF the
deeds-for these were drawn in 1854 and 1860,
respectively, not in the disciplinary form, but
with view land words to that effect to secure
to the Methodists of Shepherdstown the proper
ty in question The statistics of the case would
fave warranted different hope: for out of 221
members the Northern Church has only II
the congregations are to each other as 500 or
$50 to so, and out of $1,000 or $4,000, the
original cost of the property, the Northern adj
herents paid about $500. The case will go to
the Court of Appeals, and we hope for reyer-
sal of the Judgment of the Court below. The
best of all is, that God has given us such al
access to the hearts of the people here, that
their adherence to unpolitical Methodism is not
dependent upon church property questions.
Hastily yours. w. q. G.
