The Fogler Affair.

We learn that on Tuesday last, the
petition of certain lawyers of the Wash
iugton, Pa, bar, asking an investiga-
ton of the charges made by rumor and
the murderer FOGLER against Messrs.
Ruth and LITTLE, couns el for FoGLER
was taken mp by Judge ACHEsoN,
whose Court is now in special session
at Washington. His HODOr determined
to proceed with the investigation. For
this purpose he appointed a special
commissioner, Prothonotary Cow, with
Instructions to examine thoroughly and
minutely into all the details of the case,
and to make particular inquiry into
the circumstances under which Messrs.
Ruth aud LITTLE were engaged, 80 as
to report when, where and by
whom they were employed, and in
general to ascertain and make return
TO the Court of all the facts connected
with their intercourse with the mur-
derer and their management. of his
case. At the urgent solicitation Of the
friends of fair play, Judge ACHEsoN
agreed to instruct the Commissioner
neither to receive nor consider any tes-
ttmouy save such as might be admissa-
ble under the established rules deter
minipg legal evidence. The Court ap-
pointed Messrs. MCKENNAN and HART
to appear on its behalf and supervise
the proceedings before the Commits

They have succeeded in giving Radical

fall they gave the Democratic State

both occasions the great A. ]. B. down

thrown away the whole township vote,
and caused Lewis county to be misrep-
resented by that great man who was in

Editor of the Register:
Ministers and Members of the ". u.
Church of Hest Virginia: You are per-
haps aware that there is now in con-
temptation Convention of the Dis
trict." lido not know who have been
elected to the contemplated honorable
body.
Five years will soon be passed since
our district commenced trying to work
out its salvation or destruction, move
after move, dodge after dodge, of re-
porting the expression of the people,
and they do not seem to be tired yet,
but want another stroke at the quiet
and satisfied part of the district in the
form of a convention to cut the dis
trict loose from the Methodist Protest
ant body.
Already we have passed two important
meetings of the church without any
representation, one at Georgetown, ID.
c., May, 1866, another at Montgomery,
Ala, May, 1867. Shall we longer suffer
btatC vi ahdito w OAtoo "uhoh6 eoj
for no better reasonsi l say No. Let
us set our faces like flints and steel
against every such move in the future.
Therefore have nothing to do with
any scared up Convention, or any Inde-
pendent Annual Conference, for have
no doubt but the whole object is to con-
tiuue the long protracted trouble; to
rule or TO ruin the district. 1t looks to
me that these virtuOus souls are deter
mined to do the one or the other. Some
of them have been gaping with wide
spread mouths to get into the legislative
halls of the nation, then for State office,
then for collegiate appointments with
eyes set as with dying gaze at their
defeats one after the other. Then they
fix their transfixed eyes on the church
and try to turn it upside down. Stop
this, you men of the laity, right now.

Editor Of the Register:
Being q reader of your very excellent
paper, and seeing in every number
very interesting "Letters from the Peo-
ple," and not having seen any letter
from this section of our little kingdom
State for some time, have been induc-
ed to let the many readers of the REGIS.
TER know the true sentiments of the
majority of the citizens of this part Of
our misgorerned despotism. Our spring
election was slim affair; but few at
tended, and these few generally the
most zealous of the Kings .tarOred elect
Fully two-thirds of the voters
with whom cenversed would
say, in regard to the election, that they
would not attend the polls, as they
would only be disgusted by the way the
machine was used-nOthing fair, moth
ing honest could they see-only means
of keeping in Office political disunion-
lists. Could the people of Reane but be
freed from the iron yoke Of disfran-
chisement, the county would flourish,
and blossom as the rose, under the sal
utary rule of sound Democratic princi-
pies. We rejoice to learn of the tri-
umphant victory in Ohio and Brooke
cOuaties. This should inspire all Dem
ocrats to reneY v their energy and battle
manfully for the cause of Constitution
and equal laws. We would say to our
good old Democratic friends, "Don't
give up the ship" but stand fast and
firm to your principles. Radicalism or
blOckheadism is fast working out its
own destruction.
Well, the long, cold winter and spring
have passed away, with their thirty
eight SHOWS and numerous May frosts.
Since the ,1st of June we have had IA
vorable weather for all vegetation.
Wheat looks well, but we have very
little sOwn in this county. Oats are
doing we'll. Farmers are generally put
ting in large crops of corn. We will
have an abundant crop of peaches, ap-
pies, cherries, &C., with lots of black
berries for the good wives and daugh-
ters to make tempting pies.
With many wishes for the success of
the REGISTER, remain yours,

It is an acknowledged fact among
those best acquainted with human ma
ture that the most prudish are not al
ways tho most pure in heart, nor are
those who are most free and familiar in
conversation certain to be the same in
conduct. This fact was discovered by o
young gentleman of Dubuque not long
since, to his disappointment and chag-
rim. Being throw into the society Of o
Young lady who in conversation was
smart, talkative, lively, and not mem
her to the class whom "Griffith Gaunt"
calls "prurient prudes," he concluded
his companion to be, to say the least,
stno better than she should be-" and
concluded to act accordingly. Oppor-

rare, he finally wrote her q gushing let

heart, that he was in love with her,
that her form was in Imagination before
him by day and inspired his dreams by
night, and several pages Of similar nom
sense. Having inclosed his epistle in .
dainty envelope beneath apenny stamp,
he dropped it into the postofice and
awaited . reply. -,
The lady resolved the letter, and read
it, no sooner than she read the writer.
Her indignation was at first aroused,
and then her seEse Of the humorous

ed the fate of these forty two thousand

Civil Csntinxent Fund.

We have received several letters in
curing into the mode in which the
Civil Contingent Fund.-" to which
such liberal appropriations have been
made by our Legislature, has been ap-
piled. But day or two ago, cOmmu-
nication reached us from one of the
most prominent gentlemen of our State,
asking information upon this subject,
and urging an examination into the
matter in case the proper officials should
not have made satisfactory report.
The gentleman to whom we refer is one
Of long experience in these matters,
and his thorough acquaintance with the
requirements of official duty in such
cases has doubtless caused him to ex-
press his surprise that persons in charge
oflarse sums of the public money should
fail to acquaint the people with the
mode of its application.
Wa regret our inability to explain
the manner in which the "Civil Con-
tingent Fund" has been expended. We
Ouly know that sums amounting in the
aggregate to little over FORTY TWO
THOUSAND DOLLARS have been appro-
priated by successive Legislatures as
Civil Contingent Fund" over which the
Governor of West Virginia has some
discretionary power. Legally, we sup
pose his discretion would extend to ex-
penditures for strict and legitimate
State purposes for which no provision
had been made. Actually, We presume
that discretion is rather more expansive,
comprehending not only matters Of
State but also partizan ends, and, for
aught we know, private and individ-
nal benefit. We have been advised Of
one case, ut least, in which Governor
FOREMAN advanced money for the
defence of Board of Registra-
ton, against which proceedings were
instituted for illegal alterations Of the
lists of voters. If that advance was
made from the "Civil Contingent
FUND.-" it was clearly illegal applica-
ton Of the money. 1t might as well
have been used for the defence of de-
iaulting treasurer, or q corrupt Judge,
as to relieve lot of rascally Registrars
from the consequences of official mis-
Conduct As the outlay in question
Was made during the Governors last
canvass, it is barely possible that he
furnished the cash from his private
pocket. In such case, however, q very
suspicious intimacy between himself
aud the Registrars would be suggested,
but as our Governor is such spotless
and guileless creature, we will not in
dulge so dark q thought. But what
ever may have been the disposition OF
this fund, the man to whose care it was
entrusted has certainly given no account
