o S@- The Mopgrel papers are begin
ming to trsmble At the falling of Of the
revenue to such a degree that the govern"
ment is absolutely threatened with bank
rupcy. There is q vast amount Of silver
and other paluables in the North, which
wore stolen from the southern people,
and which are now 10 the possession of
individual thieves among US. If this
property cannot be restored to its right
full owners, let the government take pos~
session Of it, and use it to pay of our
debt. There is hardly an Abolition Of
icer in the whole North who has not in
his possession q greater or less amount
Of these stolen valuables. Let them all
be made to disgorge for the benefit Of
"the best government on earth."-[N, Y.

New YORK, December 26.-The steam

The Paris correspondent of the Lon

From Highland County.

Editor of the Register:
You will please be informed that there
is a general system of swindling going
on in West Virginia. There is COM
pany peregrinating several counties in
this State, protesting to be acting for
firms in Wheeling and Pittsburg, in eN-
changing new feathers for old, pretend
ing to be engaged in the mattress ma,
king business. They get all the old
feathers they can and promise to deliv-
er the new in a few days, and are never
heard from again. 1t is an organized
system mofswindling that needs exposure,
and | am entirely confident you can do
them Justice. They have papers for eX-
hibition from men pretending to be en-
gagged in the business of mattress ma
king, and if they cannot get the old
feathers without leaving a small de-
posit they will even leave about one
sixth of what the feathers are worth.
Now, Mr.. Editor, give these feathered
gentry coat of tar and feathers, and re-
quest all the papers in the State (Radi-
cal excepted) to extract.
/ have never been swindled myself,
and assure you / am influenced by no
impure motive in making this request.
/ am yours, &c.

uended that two delegates, and as many alter

Your Committee call this Convention in view
of the existing necessity for n prompt and
thorough organization Of all the elements Of op
position to Radicalism in our midst. The glori
ous results of the late elections in other States
and the evident decline of the Radical cause in
West Virginia assure us that by proper effort,
.e nav rescue our State frcm the grasp Of her
unscrupulous rulers and restore to our people

aid VIC cannot doubt of final success.
The Committee deem 1t proper to add that, in
addition to other business, the State Convention
will choose four Delegates at large to represent
West Virginia in the next Democratic National
Convention; it will also nominate two Sena-

The United states ns N Dealer in Real
ESTATE.

The people of the United States have
always exhibited q large and healthy
stomach for real estate. Landed prop
erty has been their weakness from the
acquisition of Louisiana from the first
NAPOLEON, to the purchase ofthe Russian
Possessions from the Car. Mr.. SEWARD
has of late been devoting himself to
the qualification of this peculiar taste
of the people he represents, and to
read the papers, one would suppose
that the world was for sale, and that
Mr.. SEwARwD as in the market ready to
outbid all other dealers. He has only
recently purchased the Russian pos
sessions, which extend our territories
to the North Pole, and he is
said to be now negotiating for purchases
in the Gulf of Mexico, which will give
us the supremacy there. His operations
in the tropics sail =" he o" o. e'-
tensive scale. A short time ago the
public was informed that our Govern
ment was about to purchase the Bay OF
SANTANA, which is on one end of the ne
gro principality of Iayti, as naval
station. Since then it has leaked out
that he was negotiating for the Island
of st. Thomas and two or three other
smaller upheavals from the bed of the
ocean. What he wants of all these little
gems set in the water the public is not
advised, unless the policy is to buy up
the whole world with greenbacks and
make it part of the " best Govern
ment he world ever saw"
