RIVER NEWS.

THE RIVER was said to be swelling
slowly last evening, and the prospects
for speedy opening of navigation wero
favorable.
The Cincinnati Gazette of Thursday
says:
A meeting Of steamboat owners and
captains was held yesterday morning,
in the rooms of the New Orleans Pilots
Association. No. 13 Public Landing.
After temporary organization it was
stated that the object of the convention
was TO permanently organize a Steam
boatmen's Benevolent Association, for
the mutual advancement and interest of
its members. Capt. Frank Y. Bachelor
was elected President, and Capt. James
S. Wise Secretary. 4 constitution and
bylaws weIe drawn up, adopted and
signed by all present. An Adjournment
was then made till 10 o'clock Thursday
morning, when further business will
come before the Association. All who
are interested in steamboats,, officers
and owners, are requested to be in at
tendance. The Association will coop
crate with the several like organizations
ut the other river ports.

owe to the public, not to suppress this
record of the man who is making him
self so prominent and active in procur-
ing the degradation of his fellow-citi-
zens. We know that there are men in
the Legislature of West Virginia who
deserve better company than the society
of pardoned thief, and VIC cannot per
NIT them to submit iu ignorance to the
leadership Of a guilty and hardened
subject of Executive clemency. y
The law which he proposes is one
which We are satisfied they would not
approve, even if it emanated from
source uncontaminated by offenses
against the criminal law of the land.
Much less will they support measure
which springs from brain that has
compressed robbery, and which bears
the impress of hands, that, but for mis-
taken mercy, might even now be wear
ing the clanking badge of tried and
convicted thief. That any man should
seek the disfranchisement and entire
political ostracism of q majority of his
fellow-citizens who have commit
ted no crime and are touched
with no dishonor, would be
unjust, oppressive and intolerable.
That one who may almost be said to
possess his authority because the law
failed to exercise hers, has attempted
the destruction of our liberties and the
of our people, is a fact,
not only shameful in itself, but dis
graceful to any who would aid the
wrong, and dishonorable to all who
would witness it in accomplishing ST.
lence.

shameful Triekery.

The usual dishonesty of Radical par
tizans is manifesting itself in preparing
q swindle by which to secure the sue
cess of portion Of the Radical ticket
on next Monday. Men of the opposite
party, whose position in the community
ought to render them superior to dis
honorable trick have been engaged in
distributing bogus ticket for the pur-
pose of deceiving any Democratic vo-
ters who may be unwary enough to con-
ide in Radical honesty. We have
been shown one Of these tickets and
now design to warn oil our voters
against the reception Of the dangerous
document. 1t is headed "Citizen's Tick
et;" is adorned with the "picter" of an
eagle, with factories and vessels In the
background, and has upon it the names
of two sets of candidates, the Radical
nominees leading. The men who would
descend to q device so disgraceful not
only acknowledge the certainty of i'm
pending defeat, but they proclaim their
own dishonor in language too plain to
be mistaken. To avoid all possibility
of deception, We ask our voters to &C
cept no ticket save from reliable par
ties, and even then it may be well to
zee that the names Of the Democratic
nominees asd none Other, are upon the
ballot. - q

The last Wythville (Virginia) Dispatch
says: We are informed that Mr.. Peter
Butner, a former resident Of our town,
who has contended for a number of
years that he will never die, but will
remain on this earth alive, until Gabriel
shall blow his trumpet, was thrown into
some sort of a trance, few days since,
by which life was, to all appearances,
entirely extinct. His belief led him
often to warn his friends not TO put him
under terra frma too soon, but to keep
his body many days, so as to convince
themselves of the fact that he would
never die. His warning was taken, and
on the fifth day of his frsasitory sleep.
unmistakable signs of life appeared in
Peters body; and in few hours he was
himself again! He has been . close
reader of the Good Book and we have
heard him preach some good sermons.

French Mutual Reneat Societies. n

The French Emperor, by n recent de-
cree, has organized the French Mutual
Benefit Societies into system, under
the guidance of % central bureau, called
the superior Commission of Encour-
agement and Surveillance" located at
Paris, and at the head Of which is the
French Minister of the Interior. There
are in France 5,2S5 of these societies,
with membership of 7S2, ,49S persons,
mainly among the working classes. Of
these 96, $50 are honorary members, and
the balance, 579,5S5 men and 105,957
women, are contributing members, par
ticipating in the benefits of the Organi-
cations. These societies have n saved
mp capital, invested, of 1896 ,la, and
during 1865 their income amounted to
S2,559,1S0. OF this sum the government
gave them Sl9,1l0, the interest on their
invested capital was S22l 500, and their
members contributed in annual dues
81, l,97S, ,976, the balance of the annual
income being procured from fines, lega-
cies and other miscellaneous sources.
During the year these societies paid ont
for assistance to sick members sS6i,H4;
for physicians bills, S2Sl, ,7G9; for mel
icines, 1880, ,239; funeral expenses, SlOl,-
sos, and to widows and orphans, and in
pensions to members unable to work
from iniirmity or age, S25l, ,5l3; and
S326,9S6 were added to the sayed-up
capital. Among these societies are 81
mutual societies of vine-growers and la
borers in vineyards, the members of
which pay no contributions, but instead
Of it distribute the labor Of the sick ones
among the others, so that the wages are
paid them the same as ifthey were well.
This is u very useful and inexpensive
expedient to relieve the sick.
