MONTREAL, Aug. THE Dominion
Rifle Association have finally decided
that the great rifle match shall take
place on the Prairie Common, Septem-
Der 18th.
Dispatches from Halifax say that a
caucus of Dominion and local members
will be held tonight, at which Canadi-
ans will be present, and position of mat.
ters discussed. 1t was thought the
most violent anti Unionists will oppose
every peaceful proposition for a settle
ment. This may cause split in their
ranks. In that event, Mr.. Howe will
take a portion with him and support
the Canadians.

TIE Parkersburg Times, in connec.
ton with tho mass meeting there,
Thursday, pays handsome and mer-
tied compliment to Gov. Stanton and
Gen. Duval:
Ex-Governor Stanton of Wheeling is
recognized as one of the foremost men
of talent in the country. His ernditiOn
as lawyer and sta tesman, and his elo-
uuence as an orator stamp him with
the living stamp of true greatness. Let

OiGen. 1. Il. Duval no word of praise
need beuttered. His name alone sends
a thrill through the loyal hearts of West
Virginia, He was conspicuous among
the sayiours of the life of our State in
the dark hours of her peril, and as he
was true to his trust upon the battle
field, West Virginia intends to place
him on guard as a representative In

From the Parkers0ur0 Times.

AT two O'Clock p. NJ. yesterday, the
Court House was crammed to over
flowing with the yeomanry and solid
men of Wood county and vicinity.
Gov. Stanton made one of the most able
and statesmanIike arguments that has
been listened to by our people for
a long time. He took up the questions
of the campaign and discussed them
upon a broad platform-anUOuncin in
the outset that he felt the responsibility
of speaking the words of truth and
soberness, which might apply TO citi-
zens of both political parties. He
dwelt not in clap.trap or tTitiing asser-
tion; but applied to the acknowledged
history of the respective civilizations of
slavery and freedom, of capital own
ing labor or labor owning itself, the
principles of common sense, truth
and Justice. He took the great Dem
ocraIic Demagogue bull by the horns,
and showed the utter fallacy and
falsity of the position taken by
the Democratic party in their oppo.
sition to Congressional reconstruction.
Some ofhis illustrations were unparal-
leled as conclusive demonstrations.
while his entire speech and its delivery
was model of argumentative states
Inanship and ornate eloqueDCe. MIR.
Stanton has made his mark here as an
orator, which will long remain indel.
IDLY impressed upon the hearts and
minds of our people. His speech was
received with wild applause, and at its
conclusion, the cornet band played,
and Hon. VIM. L. Stevenson was an
nounced by Gen. Karns, Chairman of
the meeting, amid deafening cheers.
Mr.. Stevenson addressed the large as
sembly with great force and ef1ect-re-
ceiving rounds of applause and cheers
throughout, showing what a strong
hold this sturdy yeoman has upon his
fellow citizens of his own county. No
man perhaps has ever enjoyed such
continued and deserved popularity in
the community as has Mr.. s. We will
publish an abstract of his speech at an
early day, and leave our readers to
Judge for themselves of its truthful
ness and common sense positions.

PARKERsBuRa, w. Va, Aug. 8.
The Republicans of Wood county and
vicinity assembled here this afternoon.
In mass convention, to ratify the Chi
capo nominations, and listen to dis
tinguished speakers. About 2 o'clock
the court. house was densely filled with
a l6rRe and enthusiastic audience, and
many who would gladly have been
present were unable TO obtain admit
tauce.
The:meeting was called to order short
lv after 2, and General s. D. Karns was
appointed President, and large num-
ber of gentlemen Vice Presidents and
Secretaries.
ly Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, now
a resident of Wheeling, West Virginia,
was then introduced, and discussed,
with great ability, for about two hours,
the political issues of the day. The
first portion of his speech was taken
up with very able exposition of the
cause of the rebellion. The relations OF
slave labor to free labor were ably dis
cussed. He also dwelt upon the ques-
tions of tariff and finance, and in dis.
cussing the platform and candidates OF
the Democratic party, he held that the
platform OF the party amounted to
nothing: their principles should be in
terpreted by their candidates. Gov.
SSY nOuE WIS Lue cAuuluAle OF august
Belmont, and the bondholders; and
Frank Blair's letter, written previous
to the New York Convention, in which
he said that 1t was the duty of the
President to overturn the State govern
ments of the South by force of arms,
had procured him the nomination. The
Democratic position meant war and
revolution, and If that party came into
power, West Virginia would lose her
existence as separate State.
In conclusion the Governor said that
he was proud of the State Of West Vir-
ginia, proud of its gallant and manly
people, who had had the sagactty and
courage to wrench themselves from the
grasp of the rebel authorities of the Old
Dominion. ILoud applause.l This State
is the child of the earthquake and the
storm, born in the midst of a terrific
revolution, nursed in the fiery furnace
OF sffliction, and baptised with fire and
blood, in the name of universal liberty
throughout all the land. fApplanse.l
Now, sir, If the people OF this Stale
have the sagacity, and the courage, and
the perseverance to maintain it, scatter

MONTGOMERY, August THE House
to-day. by 73 to Is, passed the Senate
bill removing the disabilities from all
persons not allowed to vote by the State
Constitution. In the Senate the bill
was passed by II to 1S, which neutral
ICES this by taking away from the peo-

electors, and giving it to the Legisla-
