Emigration.

There is Il universal desire OH the part
of the citizens of the State. that citi-
zens of other States should settle
amongst them. Now the question is,
are the people acting in the proper
manner to accomplish this much de-
sired object! Are they giving encOur-
agement, ard holding out the right
kind of Inducements to persuade strag-
gers to settle in the cOuntryi
The above is the commencement Of an
article from the Buckhannon State Id
rOcatc. In replying to its own questions,
the ddrocGte thinks that the course of
West Virginia landholders in demand
ins high figures for their property, de-
tiers immigrants from sattling in onr
midst. "Exhorbitaut pri;es," it says,
are driving away many persons who de-
sire to locate in West Virginia. 1t is
probable that there is some force in the
.idrooItes assertion. A desire to grow
rich Suddenly may lose many land
owner the chance of q sale.
Dut are luoEc uoJ OlucI lCdSOho th1V
cause the immigrant to turn away from
our State! Proscriptive legislation has
few attractions for men not personally
interested iu the partisan advantages 70
be derived thereirom. Grinding taxa
tion is no recommendation. General
corruption, like that which thrives and
fattens in this State, will encourage no
man to seek home among us. A sup
posed lawless disposition on the part OF
our people, is a great obstacle in the
way of Immigration. Whenever, the
Governor iinagines that West Virginia
is in . state OF war and calls for troops,
he not only confesses the incompetency
OF his party to rule the State, but he
proclaimS that his dOminicns are too
dsorderly to be safe for strangers. 1t
matters not that while his confession is
true, his proclamation is false. The
world at large receives his messages as
correct, aud the tide of homehunting
population passes by to more inviting
regions.

Who Cnuscd the High Ta1css


1t is amusing to see the efforts OF
some of our Radical contemporaries to
relieve their party of the responsibility
for "high taxes?' The character of the
argument in wkich they indulge shows
their appreciation of their embarrassing
position. Says one of our State
papers, the National Telegraph -
"The taxes are not so high as they were
under the government of Virginia be-
fore the war" There is not space in
this paper to set forth the absurdity OF
the above sentence in a clearer light than
it is placed by the quotation itself.
The same Journal also assures us that
in the matter of "high taxes" "all the
odiun falls justly upon the shoulders OF
rebel Democrats TSey made the war
and consequently made tho taxes" Our
understanding of the case is that very
little of the present taxation of West
Virginia has any connection whatever
with the war. The bounties are pretty
much all paid, but outside of this there
is an amount of revenue collected that
has 10 parallel III Vir, inia history.
We would like our cotemporary to in
form US in what way the "rebel Demo
Gratis" became responsible for the enor-
nous number of oiiice-holdcrs now fat
tening upon the proceeds of West Vir-
ginia labori His own knowledge must
tell him that we have ten men in office
now where VIC had ono. under the old
dispensation. Will lie assert that we
can pay ten mems wages with ono mans
salary Would it not be nearer the mark,
in view of the habits Of loyalty" to
say that ten mems wages Hnder the
honest plan of government will hardly
suffice to pay one mans salary upon the
loyal" basisi
We would also bo pleased to learn in
what way the "rcbel Democrats can
DO held accountable for the "Civil Con-
tingent Fund" appropriations, amount
ing to forty-odd thousand dollars, not
a single cent of which has ever been
accounted fort These funds were
placed in the hands of the Governor to
be used for State purposes, at bis dis
cretion. He has been so oseverely discreet
as to let no man know in what manner he
has disposed of q single dime of those
appropriations, extending, as they do,
through four years of his administra-
tion.
We are able to recall somo provisions
from that obsolete instrument, the State
Constitution, which apply to this case.
Article ", Section 10, of that instru-
ment, reads thus:
'No person who may have collected,
or been entrusted with public money,
whether State, county, township or mu-
nicipal, shall be eligible to tho legisla-
ture, or to aay office of honor, trust OF
profit, until he shall have duly account
ed for and paid over such money accord
ing to law"

stitution, reads as follows:

treasury but in pursuance of appro-
priations made by law, and aR 40

The Richmond Enquirer and EramiN

The Richmond Enquirer and Examiner
of the 18th says: ....
The beautiful estate near Newport
News known as "Celey's" and now the
property of the heirs of William s. Smith
deceased, has been, since 1862, in pos
session of large number of negroes.
Last year about $50 was paid as rent
to the three heirs. The negroes insisted
upon renting it for the present year, and
after considerable hesitation on the part
of one or or moro of those interested, 1T
was finally rented to them (the Regroes)
for about $3.50 for each share. Consider
ing themselves fixed, and no contract
signed, owing in part to some meddling
of the Bureau officers, they refused, not
long since to pay tares or rent. The for
mer had to be forced from them by the
military, in command or acting under
the sheriff of the county of Elizabeth
City. One of the ownersof the property
soon after visited tho place to collect
his rents. Tho negroes came out armed
and caused him to retreat. The sheriff,
with fifty United States soldiers, went
to the place next day. Upon their or
rival they found these scamps had car
ried off all their crops-so nothing was
gained. The nogro rascals triumphed;
and another year rolls around without
the owners receiving cent. One of the
owners is the widow of the late E. B.
Chiles, at the time Of his death q mer-
chant in our city. 1t is the only means
of support of herself and two fatherless
children. The estate has been consid-
cred one of the most valuable in all that
section elizabeth City County,, and
cannot be bought for $50 per acre.

Editor of the Register: .
I desire through your excellent paper
to say few words to the Conservatives
of West Virginia, as am apprehenslve
very many of them do not properly 2p-
preciate the duties devolving upon them
as the friends of good government-as
those who desire the return of constitu-
tional liberty to the people of our be-
loved State. Ifyou ever intend, gentle
men Conservatives, to labor for the
cause of freedom-I mean, the freedom
of white men, now is the time. And
let me tell you that you can in no way
subserve the cause so efficiently as by
the dissemination of Democratic docu-
ments and papers. If every Conserya-
tive in West Virginia will feel that he has
something to do in the great work
of redeeming the State from the curse
of Radicalism, and that that something
should be commenced at once, and pros
ecuted with untiring energy, the day
of our redemption will soon come to
gladden. the heart of every good citi-
zen in tho State. The most humble OF
us can d. much in this work. We
should avail ourselves of every opportu-
nifty to expose the abominations, usur-
pations and wicked deeds of every char
acter Of the Radical party to those who
may not haze had the facilities of learn
ing them. We should urge upon every
family the great Importance of taking
good Democratic paper. know money
is scarce, and hard to get, but there is
no one who is able to labor who cannot
save dollar, and that will pay for
paper six months, and in that
time another dollar can easily
be procured, with which to re-
new the subscription. we should
send the names of all persons in our
respective localities, not subscribers to
any paper, to the publishers of our
Democratic papers, that they may occa-
sionIlly send them specimen copies. l
would also recommend to all who are
w bClhONAatAS paPSAo ~ ~
solve that they will procure three SUBJ
scribers to the paper or papers they
may take, and when the resolve is made
to 90 to work at once, and cease not
their efforts until the money is obtain
ed and forwarded to the publishers. l
made this resolve not a week ago,
and to-day l shall send three names,
with the money, to our friend Baker,
of the REGISTER.
We are under yoke of bondage, de-
prived of almost every right sacred to
freemen, Cat least the disfranchised por-
ton of us), and we must fight if we
would again be freemen, not with carnal
weapons, but with the sword of truth
and justice, which will prove powerful
in pulling down the strongholds of Rad
icalism. We should labor to carry the
State at the next election, and if each
Democrat or Conservative, q use the
term interchangably), will do his duty,
it can be done. What say you, gentle
men Democrats ANON.

The editor of the Paris KeniEckidH
speaking of the recent shooting affray
between A. j. Morey, editor Of the Gym

bridge, makes the following remarks :
"Morey says he was 10th to believe that
Colonel Burbridge intended to attack
him as he did; that they had been
warm political and personal friends be-
fore the war, and that since they had
frequently met on friendly terms. Nor
had he at any time joined in the numer-
GUS attacks upon him for his connection
with the odious Hog and other orders
Of the General, or in regard to his course
