Mr.. KERNs, post master at Moline, has

MR.. hERNs' post master at Moline, mas
explained to US that he did not understand
that the papers in the package directed to
Z. Gunneh were for actual subscribers; and
he has also informed us that the reason
he required postage on all but one copy was
because no person is entitled to receive, free
of postage, more than one copy of each
newspaper printed in the county. He says
he had no intention of doing MS or, our sub
scribers the slightest injustice, and would do
us or them favor just as cheerfally as he
would his own political friends, when he
could do SO without violating the laws, or
the instructions of the Pest Office Depart
ment. He also says, if Mr.. Gunnell will
furnish him the names of the persons emit
tied to receive the pspers he viii see that,
in the future, they are properly delivered.
We are satisfied that Mr.. Kerns had no an,
tension of doing injustice to any one, and
presume, with this explanation, good feeling
viii be restored, all round. 4@ gee

company with his wife and was much horri-
fed to see Ha niger as black IS the ace Of

a lengthy sermon to his "whfte brethring.
Our good advocate of negro suffrage for the

Township Meetings.

In accordance with. the call of the
County Executive Committee, else,
where printed, the Democrats and COu.
servatives Of Ohio county will meet in
their respective townships this after.
noon and evening for the parpose OF
choosing delegates to the State Con-
vention. The meetings for the country
townships will be held this afternoon;
those for the city, this evening.
We have heretofore called attention
to the Importance of having q general
turnout at these meetings. If Ohio
county desires proper representation
at Grafton on the 10th proximo, she
should send her very best men US dele
gates, and she should send such as rep
resent the views of the Democratic
masses. Men of this class are much
more apt to be chosen by general ex-
precision of the popular voice, than by
the action of a very few who, through
general apathy, may be required to
select the delegations from the various
townships. Hence the duty resting up
on every Democrat to attend the meet
ings tonight and indicate. his prefer
ence for representatives.
We observe that in many other cOuD-
ties the utmost activity and spirit are
manifested with regard to their primary
meetings. Stirring calls are published
beforehand, and coed speakers are adj
vertised to address the people and ad-
wise them concerning their duty. The
result will be that the very ablest and
most popular men of the Democratic
party in West Virginia will meet at the
Grafton Convention. There is no reason
why Ohio should be behind her sister
counties.
We therefore urge upon the Demo-
Gratis of this comfy to attend the town.
ship meetings tonight and assist in
choosing fit and worthy men to repre-
sent them in the coming State COnven-
tiOn.

Of redeemiug that hitherto Radical
stronghold from the enemy. The work

that other counties will initiate the ex-

Handsome Notice.

The Insurance Times, the leading pa
per of its kind in the country, publishes
a series of editorial articles upon the
agencies of the Etna Life Insurance
Company of Hartford, Connecticut. The
data for these articles were procured at
the Home Office of the Company in
Hartford. The articles are highly en-
tertaining to all interested in Insurance
matters, and pay worthy tribute to
semo of the best business mon in the
country. We find among them the
following handsome reference to a well
known and popular Wheeling firm:
Messrs. Long u Whipple have charge
of the Etna's General Agency at Wheel
ing, w. Va. Mr.. Long was formerly the
Postmaster of Wheeling and editor of a
journal in that city, and attained con-
siderable eminenee and celebrity as a
politician. Such training, isculcating
an extensive and applicable knowl-
edge of human life and character,
ADAPTED his mind to fulfil the require
ments of life insurance agent, and he
has, consequently, in connection with
his able partner, Mr.. Whipple, found
life insaration the most productive
sphere for the exercise of his versatile
talents. A few policies were issued by
the .Etna to parties in this State
in 1864 and local agency was opened
at this time in Wheeling. In January,
lS66, q General Agency was created,
with the Office at this city, embracing
what are known as "the panhandle
counties of West Virginia and that
portion of the State lying South of the
baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the cOuu-
ties lying along the road having been
previously attached to the Maryland
agency, under the control of Mr. Louns-
bury at Baltimore. 1t embraces also
some of the Southwestern counties OF
the Old Dominion. By far the largest
portion of the West Virginia agency is
thinly populated and suffered severely
by the rayages of the war, and IS only
accessible to the canvasser by means OF
long and difficult journeys on horse
back. Notwithstanding these difficnl-
ties, there have been issued through
this agency, during the two
years and half of it's organization,
nearly 500 policies, insuring over one
million dollars. The premium receipts
reach nearly ,ne hundred thousand dol
lars annually. Local agencies report
Ting to this Office are established al
Parkersburg, West Virginia, and Lynch.
burg, Virginia. The business of the
agency is rapidly and steadily increas'
ing, aud the reputation of the company
for honorable deaEng and prompt and
satisfactory adjustment Of losses is de
servedly high throughout all the terri

stale, Flat aud UnproftabIe." "

The most lifeless ticket presented;
within our recollection, to the people of
this country, is that which bears the
names of GRANT and COLFAX. SO far as
exciting enthusiasm is concerned the
ticket is miserable failure. 1t was an
neunced with wonderful flourish of
trumpots, but the popular response
don't amount to third rate echo.
Even the demonstrations that have been
attempted in localities where success
was almost certain, have been lamcnta-
bly, lacking in spirit. They have had,
to be sure, the hired bands, and the
purchased fireworks and the stilted
speeches, but beyond the results that
can be bought or procured through 9th
er party means, the effect of the Chica-
90 nominations is fiat aud feeble beyond
description. So far the ticket is
double -barrelled tizzle.
The lesson which the failure of the
Chicago Convention teaches is not to DO
overlooked. 1t indicates that the peo-
pie regard the war as settled, and that
men nominated upon 4 purely war re.
cord, or upon issues which Radicalism
maintains a part of the war to be,
have no hold upon the popular heart.
The questions of peace are upon us for
settlement. The country regards the
recent past as having now no practical
value, compared with the issues of the
present that involve the liberties aud
material interests of the people. Men
are not willing to be robbed for the
privilege of hurrahing for a butcher.
They are not willing to share political
power with the negro merely to prove
their "loyalty." The prices are too
dear and the commodities too worthless.
If the New York Convention will
recognize these truths and present men
and a platform that meet the actual re-
suirements of '6S, rather than the sup
posed necessities of "a, the Democratic
ticket will be successful in November.

1t is respectfully suggested that, as
far as may be practicable aud conve-
nient, the Delegates be chOsed by Town
ship or County Conventions, on

Ii is also recommended that
the Delegates from the First aud Sec
ond Congressional Districts in attend
ance upon the State Convention nomi-
nate s Congressional candidate and a
Presidential electOr for each of their
respective Districts.
The possibility that, owing to their
remoteHcss, some of the counties of the

Committee to leave the selection of the
iiuIs and place for making their Con-
gressiOnal aud Electoral nominations
entirely to the discretion of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative voters of that
District.
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives
Your political brethren in all parts of
the country where elections have been
held within the last twelve months,
lave achieved magnificent victories.
The great reaction which is to redeem
the nation from tyranny and misrule
hes fairly set in. In other States, its
progress is irresistible. Let us, too,
press forward in the work of
redemption. Net one moment
should he lost-no eXertiOn spared.
County, Township and School District
organizations should ut once be COM
pIeted, and every man who can be
moved to eSpouse the right, should be ap-
preached, informed and melted to ac-
ti0n. TIE work is in your hands. II
you are true to yourselves, your State
and your country, you cannot fail.
Success will crown your efforts, and the
blessings of good Government, so long
unknown in West Virginia, will once
more bring 10 her people peace, prosper
