WEST VIRGINIA.

The Wheeling Intellisencer, noticing the
returns from the West Virginia election,
says:
THE wave that rolled over Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, has been stayed in West Virginia. She
stands to-day where she stood since her admis-
sion into the Union"
There never was a people subjected to so
infamous outrages as those of West Virginia,
under the registry system. The ofscouring
of all the earth are there rulers. Thieves
and murderers are transformed into rulers
and princes. Under it no respectable man,
whatever may have been his political history,
is allowed to vote. The only test of quail
fcation is, will you vote the radical ticket i?
This ascertained, they become very respecta-
BILE and are acknowledged voters. Let these
men stand from under. The day of retribu-
ton is coming, and rapidly, too. The time
is advancing with giant strides when these
men, thus instrumental in imposing these
outrages upon patient people, will be driv
en- to seek some more congenial place tt
practice their villainies.

George Washington as a Usurpsr

The radicals, our readers know, denounce
President johnson as a usurper, because,
without the authorization of congress, he
has issued a proclamation of amnesty to per-
sons guilty of rebellion. The answer to
this denunciation is that the President has q
constitutional right either to authorize or
forbid it. This is established by various
proofs, the chief of which we have repeated
ly given but one of them we will now re-
peat with greater distinctness. We refer to
the fact that Washington did what johnson
has done.
On the 18th of July, 1895, Washington,
without the authorization of congress.
issued such proclamation of amnesty, which
concluded as follows:
AND wHEREAs, have since thought pron.r
70 extend the said pardon to all persons guilty Of
the SAID treasons, misprisons of treason or other

Enthusiastically no more wretched
bridges, and none of their size more danger
Gus, can be found anywhere, than at present ir
Henry county. They are nuisances, with
few exceptions, and ought to be officially
condemned. One can scarcely ride two
miles in any direction without jouncing ov
a pile of loose plank, raised several inch
above the road bed. and yawning wi
cracks and holes which threaten to break
a horses leg, or engulph wheel. Travel
ing at night is really unsafe, on account
of the condition of the bridges, and the at
tention of the proper authorities should be

The Cairo Man and Brother.

The complaint by the new Jacooin com
missioners of the Illinois penltentiary that
the courts in Cairo are in the habit OF send
ing large numbers of Ethiopian men and
brethren to the state prison for stealing,
seems to have fallen with disagreeable effect
IN Jndoe Olney and the states attorney in
Cairo both of whom were elected to Office
nv the Jacobin party. Had the commission
ers been aware of this fact. they would prob
ably suppressed the complaint.
The trouble is with the law. The Grim
inal code of Illinois defines the act of rob
bling hen.roosts, plundering smoke houses,
taking other peoples pigs, cows, &c, as lar
ceny, and declares that the person convict
ed for such doings shall be sent to the state
prison. The statute on this subject makes
no distinction on account of race or color.

bly," and be "truly loyal Until the statute
be reconstructed on the basis of loyalty"
it is greatly to be feared that the courts at
Cairo, no matter what the politics of =
Judges may be, will continue to send la-fe
numbers of the sable brethren to their &C
friends, the new penitentiary commissions
at Joliet.
For every man who is acquainted with eA-
isting facts at Cairo knows that the swarms
of Ethiopians that infest that locality are
the LATEST, most shiftless, worthless, and
thieving vagabonds that any similar portion
Of earth contains. All day they may t.

ing in sunshine and filth along the Ohio
levee, lazily looking on where white men are
at work. At night, their occupations alte

BAD One CAUGHr.-After a desperate
chase of twenty-four hours, j. f. Coudit, of
this place, effected the capture of a.desperate
character named Washington Phillips, at
Port Byron, on Friday last. This Phillips
has been concerned in various robberies about
Geneseo, Rock Island, Davenport, Moline,
Port Byron, and other places. He was once
warned to leave the neighborhood of Sharon,
in this county, with his brother, on suspic-
ion of horse stealing, and they saved their
necks by transferring the scene of heir ope-
rations. He is now lodged in jail at Nor
