From Washington.

WASHINGTON, October IA telegram
reached this city to, day stating that in Wash
ington correspondence sent hence last night
it is asserted that the President informed the
correspondent that Gen. Sherman would be
appointed Secretary of War, aud that TIE lat
ter would soon return here to enter upon the
discharge of the duties of that Office. Tie
President has not authorized such i statement,
and such is not his intention. Gen. Sherman
left here with the understanding that after
tranSacting certain business at ST. Louis he
would return TO this city prepared TO report
upon affairs in his department for submission
TO Congress. His probable future duties
were talked over but no positive designation
was agreed upon. Nevertheless can state
positively it was not, and is not purposed TO
appoint General Sherman Secretary Of War
The successor TO General Grant has not
been determined upon, but there is good
ground for saying the appointee for that office
will be a civilian, though lie may have here
toiore heen in military service. The assertion
that General Sherman would accept the posi-
ton of Secretary of War is improbable. as it
is not likely that lac would resign the lieu
tenant generalship for possibly brief and
uncertain tenure of service i'll the War De-
partment.
The testimony before the congressional
committee as To whether Maryland has re-
publican form of government to-day does not
sustain the charge that the military of Mary
land is hostile to the federal government
The evidence thus far given is irrelevant to
the subject of inquiry, as indicated by the
House resolution creating the committee
The committee on the sale of government
rolling stock Of the Southern raiirouds have
entered upon an inquiry of facts. The origin
of the resolution appOintIng the committee
was in consequence of tic charge that the
President had corruPtly and wuntonly sold
property at mere nominal prices to rebel pur-
chasers. &c. 1t is known. however positively
that Mr.. STATION testified before the imreach-
ment committee that he is responsible for
the sale of property; that he advised the dis
position Of it in the manner it was sold, aud
that he did this for the best interests Of the
country, as the railroads were then costing
the government over a million dollars per
month.

Already by the Ears.

We have published various utterance go
ing to show that many leading Republicans
do not intend to go any further in advocacy
of negro supremacy. Greeley, however, has
come to the rescue of Sambo. He declares
that Chase is the most fitting man for the pre-
sidency; and as to General Grant, he express
es his feelings by telling the following anec-
dote:
ga day or two after Governor Stewards in
auguratiOn (January l, 1899 We were SIT
ting with the Hon. Francis Granger in the
editors room of the Albany ECenng Journal,
when young gentleman just appointed some
thing or other on the Governors staff walked
into the room in ali the bravery of bran-new
uniform and epaulettes, took several turns
athwnrt the room, and walked out again
Mr.. Granger watched his stride admiringly,
aud, when hc had departed, turned to US with
merry twinkle in his eyes as he amiably re-
marked, There l have wondered for what
have been tOiliDg, sweating, and worrying in
political strife these twenty years; but now
l see. 1t was to make that young man feel
as we'll as he does to. day."
But this does not satisfy him. He declares
that the next President shall be Democrat
or Radical-nOne of your Conservative Re-
publicans. Hear him:
"If ever southern State re, appears in Con-
gross with a constitution which gives her
whites supreme power over her blacks, it will
be Democratic majority which secures and
votes her such admission. And if our next
President shall favor such admission he will
be chosen by the Democratic, not the Republi-
can party. His name, his vocation, his past
history ESQ that it prove him honest and pa
triotic,) are immuterial, or, at best, of se>
condary consequence; JHt there IciU be no Re
publican chosen President lcho IaUorS Tie sham
Democratic doctrine that black men, because
they arc black, shall, in the lately rebel States,
have such rights only as the whites of those
States may see fit to accord them"

LOCAL MISCELLANY.

Our LOCAL CoLUMN.-TO enable us to
give an epitOme of such events as are occur
ring in the county, that would be of general
interest to the public, We have to request that
our friends will furnish US the facts of any
local incidents in their immediate neighbor-
hood, and we will gladly prepare them for
publication. Our own immediate commuui-
ty being claw and order" abiding people,
and but few rlusOrs even arising to afford a
sensational" item, We are restricted to mere
ly noting the general progress of our people,
and the occurring changes among our bust
ness public. Religious notices, marriages
aud deaths, when not exceeding five lines,
we publish gyatuitOusIy, and as our journal
visits some household in every part of the
county, no better means is afforded of giving
publicity to these occurrences.

ministration of Mr.. Lincoln, and who now

C0NFISCATION DEFUNCT.

1t is now generally admitted, even by those
who have heretofore been most afFrighted by
the grim apParit;on of confscation by Com
grcss, says the Richmond Enquirer, that the
monster which their timidity clothed with so
many terrors, is dead. That measure was
borne in front of the Radical party, as the
Chinese, when advancing upon their enemies,
make their front rank hideous with paintings
Of the most horrible monsters; but there was
no fight in it, and the scare-crow persisted at
the G:zt shock Of the opposing forces.
The plumber and pillage of the treasury
the robbery Of honest men by official rogues
the deycuring Of our property By Ubiquitous
taza:;oa-a general scramble, grab, and raid
~ nouErcls aud negro officials, are the forms
Of coEiscation which we now have to prevent
and punish. The sooner the white majority
in this State teaches the faction, whose object
i've point Is Wholesale robbery, that their
proposed b.igandage cannot be successful, it
matters not in what shape or under what guise
It IS attempted, the better for the State Tie
sPced:er these men are brought to understand
that 10 organic or statute law ever was
framed by a minority by means of which
rascals could pil!age with IMMUNITY the men
Of property Of State, the sooner will they
either fad honesty the best policy, or-old-
fashioned larceny the shortest and most Ger
tain road to the pcnitcntiary.

THE ELECTION.

The election, so-called, for this county and
the bogus State of West Virginia, will take
place on Thursday next. 1t is matter of
small concern, but we deem it best to keep
our readers advised as to the coming events
in the womb of time" The election, in this
county a: least, is for State Senator from
Berkeley and Jefferson, two members of the
House Of Delegates and Superintendent of
Public Schools The Conservatives manifest
some fight, but the cards are all packed, we
presume, to suit the occasion, and Chapline
and his sdheJcuts will have it all their own
way. At the recent registration for this
township, sir names were recorded, erery one
Of which has been stricken from the list,
without notice to registrar or voters here, but
simply upon the ipse dich of that iniquitous
Board Of Registration at Shcphcrdstown.-
Let the glorious thirteen be up and doing on
Thursday, for unless they throw around our
township the ;cyis of their protection, our
condition Is truly lamentable!

The Ohio Elections,

The Columbus (Ohio) Crisis in referring
to the result of the recent elections in that
State, says that an analysis of the vote shows
that eleven of the sixteen Abolition members
of the Rump Congress have been repudiatcd
by their constituents. These districts are:
The Second, in which Mr. Cary, Repub.
lican in favor of paying off the debt in green
backs, is elected over Smith, the regular Alb
clifton nominee.
The Third District, now represented by
Scheuck, has gone Democratic.
The Fourth District, represented by Law
renee, is Democratic.
The Sixth District,n represented by
Clark, is Democratic.
The Seventh, now represented by Shella-
Garger, is Democratic.
The Ninth District, now represented by
auckland. is Democratic by over 1900.
The Tenth District, now represented by i'm
peacher Ashley, is Democratic.
The Eleventh District, represented by Viii.
sun, is Democratic.
The Fourteenth District now represented
by Wclker is Democratic.
The Fifteenth District, now represented by
Plants, is decidedly Democratic.
The Sixteenth District, now represented
by Mrs. Surratt Bingham, is now Democratic.
The Fifth, Twelfth and Thirteenth Dis
tricts, now represented by Col. Mungen,
Judge Van Trump and Gen. Morgan, all
Democrats, have largely increased their De-
mocratic majoriries, and nebly sustained those
gallant and faithful representatives, of the
people. They are the only members of Con-
gress who do represent the people. except the
members from the Reserve, which seems
hopelessly besotted with the niger infatua-
ton.
In addition to these gains, we have beaten
Mr.. Benjamin +. Wade, who misrepresents
the State in the Senate. 1t is sufficient to
say that his epitaph has been written, and
that he will never again disgrace the Senate
Of the United States.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1867-10-22

LET NEGRO SUFFRAGE ALoNE-"A Vet
eran Observer" gives in the New York Times
some good advice to his Radical friends. lie
says:
The best thing the Republican party can
have now is to understand clearly its own
blunders 1t must leave negro suffrage alone
Let lager beer alone. 1t must take up the
financial question and treat it honestly and
fairly. 1t must equaIize taxation. Then it
can nomiante any fair man for the Presidency
in 1865, and elect him triumphautly; aud
this, believe, will be done"
Tie New York Times has the impudcnce
to say:
I'VE are inclined to think that the north
ern States will not surrender their own rights
quite so complaceutly as they have consented
to the overthrow of the South"
Thus admitting that its party has over
thrown the rights Of the South, aud confessing
its own iniany.

\ FREE CoUNTRY.-The northern Demo
Gratis will read the following with amazement,
and will, we hope, Use it against the Radicals {:
In n discussion at Liberty Bedford county.
last Thursday, between a Radical and Cou-
servative, Mr.. Thurman. the Conservative.
vas proceeding to close the discussion, when
soon after he had begun, while stating who
had elected johnson President in language
more vigorous than chaste, he was Interrupt
ted by Captain Haun Of the Freedmau's Blu
reau and Military Commissioner. with the an
nouncement that such language would not be
permitted. Mr.. Thurman at once admitted
his power to stop him, and called upon the
audience 30 take note that he had been stop
ped. Captain Haun then desired him 10 20
on, that he did not intend to stop him to
which Mr.. Thurman replied that he did not
intend to speak with bit in his mouth. that
if he could not speak what he thought be
would not speak at all and again calling at

ATTEMPT TO INDICT.

An attempt was made last week BY the
grand jury OF this county, to indict the Spirit Of
".dtrsoH, because ofitscxposures of the thiev-
Ing ProTensities Of Joe ChaPline and his as
sociates. The attempt did not succeed, very
much to cur regret. as we should have hailed
the opportunity Of proving before Court the
meanness and trickcry of the radical leaders
Of this county. They knew better than to
let these matters come before the public in
an o!iici-l form. So far as the charges we
have made are concerned, we court an inves-
tiga.ion.

Mrs. Harper, the negro. made a speech

- Mrs. Harper, the negro. made a speech
in Philadelphia few days ago, in which she
said the negroes would not amalgamate with
the poor whites. We quote from the Press
az do not regard our peoples condition as
the saddest in the South-far sadder is the
condition of the poor white people. They
have all the ignorance of the slave, with all
the pride of the master. They do not appear
to belong to any race. Too proud to allow
their children to go to the same school with
children of our race, have yet seen them
begging from the people they affected to de-
spise We're our people ,si1ing to amalgq-
mate rciM them, there might be some hope for
them; but as 1t as, I see none"

ALarge Bill.

BY the census of 1860, the total valuation
Of all property in the United States real and
personal was l6.lj9G1GCGS. Since the
Radicals came into power. they have expen>
ded, from the Treasury of the Federal Govern
ment Sll.5O0000 900, or an amount nearly
equal to the whole property of the people Of
the United States The interest on the
bonded debt Of the general Government in
currency is about S2OOOOO,O eco per annum.
which is payable one half every six months.
This amount, at compound interest, in eight
years and half, you'd amount 20 S2.2jS.-
III, OjG, or more than the present bonded
interest bearing debt of the United States.
Thus. it will be seen, under the Radical
system of continuing the interest bearing debt
of the nation, the people will pay in tie
form Of interest, every eight and half years,
an amount equal to the entire bonded debt,
while the debt itself remains unpaid These
facts are worthy Of consideration by the
people.
