THE New HEIR APpAgENr.-In ths
event Of the impeachment and deposition
of President johnson by the Congress which
entered upon its duties Oh the 18th of March
instant, Hon. Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio,
would become the acting President of the
United States. nc having been selected by
his brother Radical senator's as President
of the Senate. Senator Wade, though an
ultra radical, Is regarded as a man of prac-

Congress that has prescribed code Of
equal rights for nine States lately in rebel
lion cannot in reason or IN justice withhold
its patient audience, nor its stcih and thor
oagk relief from States, majority of
whose people have always faithfully ad-
hered to the Republic"
These resolutions, adopted with unan-
unity, were evidently based upon the
letter of Senator Sumner, in which he
declares that Congress will leave un-
done what il ought odo if it fails topro-
vide promptly for the establishment of
equal rights, whether political or civil,
everywhere throughout the Union"
1t needs no argument to show whittier
these doctrines tend. They imply the
subversion by Congress of the cOnstitu-
tions and laws of all the States of the
Union-the Capitalization of all politi-

hands of a Congressional majsrity-the
abrogatiOr of State constitutions, State

FROM TUCKER COUNTY,
Registrars Prayer

Editor Of the Register:
Father Arthur, who doth in Wheel
ing dwell, we are told that where two
or three are gathered together in thy
name that thou will be in their midst
to pay all expenses. We, Oh Arthur,
have been gathered together in thy
name, and have been sued by thirteen
copperheads for erasing their names
from the books of registration, and pray
thee to send us good counsel that our
evil doings may not cost us any money.
We know that we have sinned against
our neighbors and against God, but we
are loyal and ought not to lose money
by it. We know that ever since man
hoods earliest dawn we have been con-
sidered scoundrels and Bcalawags, but
it has given us favor in thy sight. We
know that our stencil emitting carrion
carcasses would not make decent food
for buzzards, but such are the men to
do thy dirty work. We know that for
fifty long years We have not cherished
one pure forgiying Thought; that for
fifty years our bosoms have glowed with
the Kissing flames of the eternal pit,
aud we have scorned to feel one human
impulse, one tender emotion, yet it has
been money in our pockets. Enlighten
the mind Of our Judge that his decision
may not be against us. Convene the
Legislature that they may stand ready
to appropriate money to our relief If the
prove TOO hard. Import
from Africa some good, warm, rich
blooded he and she "niggers" for our
sons and daughters to marry. And Oh,
Arthur, we would especially ask that
thy blessing be with A. Fl. Bowman,
our clerk; let thy arms of protection
be round and about him and each
hand we'll filled with greenbacks
for his use. Give him plenty of the
needful cash, that he may not again be
taken from our midst to the Federal
Court at Clarksburg on charge of rob
bing the mail. These we'll merited
favOrs we ask for the sake of the biggest
'.nigger" that walks South Carolina
soil.
Now "Arth." remember us and ours;
Pay us two dollars each eight hours,
And We'll not fear the devils powers,
s.tt- 2. Nor his black den;
Well vote the Rad with you and yours
Amen, amen.

w. Va, September 10, 1867.
Editor of tho Register
l understand that the much talked of
question of where the State capital
shall be located, is at last happily set
tied; so your Braxton county cores
ponde1it can rest contented. The CAPT
toll and State buildings are to be built
on Coon run, Franklin township, Mar
shall county, w. Va, close to the falls.
The water dashes over these falls dis
tance of about three feet, and can be
heard, when there is no other noise, at
least a hundred yards, which makes
it one of the grand curiosi-
ties of nature. Close to these
Falls there is beautiful and good
spring of water, where the loyal can
slake their thirst aud call it Saratoga.
The natural advantages of this plan are
numerous. Stone, which is sometimes
hard to get, can be found here In abund-
ance. Besides, there is plenty of the
best timber on the ground where the
State House is to be located. More
over, there can be railroad built from
the capital to the river, distance of
two miles, which will make it of easy ac-
cess to the members of the Legislature at
its regular sessions. understand Gov
Boreman has taken lease for five years,
and is to build portable capital where,
perhaps, our Braxton county correspon-
dent can be accommodated. l don't
think the Governor can build the pen.
itentiary, finish the lunatic asylum and
buy lands, consequently he manifests
his wisdom by taking lease. g.
There are a great many things said
about Governor Boreman which, l
think, the people will now be willing to
ignore, seeing that he has turned econ
omist. ..-- a. ....-- ST. CROlx.
