Go, and Don,t Return.

Writing Of the general curtailment OF
the free pass system in the east, cor.
respondent of the Chicago Republican is
reminded of little anecdote of Dean
Richmond at the time when he was con-
trolling the Central road. An editor in
Buffalo, who had handled Richmond
without gloves, politically and financial
ly, had occasion to visit New York. A
friend told him to apply to the manager
for pass, and assured him that his per,
sonal opposition would have no effect
where professional courtesy was asked
So the editor called upon Dean, and
stated his case, ending with a request
for a pass to New York.
Certainly" replied Richmond, Every
happy to oblige you;" and he wrote the
pass and gave it to the applicant.
The latter glanced at it, and on see.
ing thatit was only to New York, re.
quested that it be made for the round
trip.
"Oh, you want to come back, do your
said Dean, taking the pass and tearing
it in pieces; II thought you were going
there to stay and l was glad to get rid
of you. You can't have any pass to re.

The possibility that, owing to their
r,moteRess, some of the counties Of the
Third Congressional District may not
be fully represented, has induced the
Committee to leave the selection of the
time and place for making their Con-
greSsional aud Electoral nominations
entirely to the discretion of the Demo
cratic and Conservative voters of that
District. 1t-
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives!
Your political brethren in all parts of
the country where elections have been
held within the last twelve months,
have 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. Not one moment
should be lost--no exertion spared.
County, Township and School District
organizations should at once be COM
pleted, and every man who can be
moved to espouse the right, should be ap-
preached, informed and melted to ac-
IIOn. The work is in Jour hands. If
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, win once
more bring to her people peace, prosper
ity and happiness.

Reported Prorres..

When the House of Representatives,
in Committee of the Whole, had re-
turned from the scene of Saturdays
black disaster, WAsHBURNE, for the
Committee, reported progress" Snch
progress" was decidedly more manifest
than satisfactory. 1t was emphatically
an advance backward" A little more
progress" of that sort, a few more ad-
vances in that direction and what be-
comes of the Civilization of the cen.
tury W "One more such victory and l
am undone," says Loyalty and it will
be wonder if the undoing has not al
ready been effected. -r .-'.g.
Only to think of it. What an expen-
diture of force, wind, money, threat,
promise and influence has been under
gone to accomplish the progress thus
far reported! The press has howled;
the thunder-pumpers of the stump have
worked up their last peals; the facto-
ries Of public opinion have run day and
night for month; the braying "loyal"
piety of the Chicago Conference has
tasted and prayed and humiliated, typi-
flying with empty stemachs the degree
to which clerical Radioalism huDgers
and thirsts after the righteousness of
impeachment; another Conference at
Washington, black and blatant, has
likewise instructed the Throne of Grace
for conviction, initiated the Gus oms OF
its 0bi-worshipping ancestry in noisy
importantly, drum-boatiug, and self
torture, and enacted a scene not essen
TALLY different from the deryish dance
of the priests of BAAL, of biblical story.
East, West, North and South the ele-
ments of ''lsyalty" have been, like
"DAvID the King, griev-ed andmov-ed'
to the end that the enemy of its peace,
ANDREW JOHNSON, might be handled
in his pride, shorn of his power and
made perpetual by word and warning

This is faint outline of what was
going on at Washington on Tuesday,
and is it any wonder the High Court OF
Impeachment, thus encompassed and
distracted, should adjourn till Satur-

But the enquiry naturally arises-what
great object is sought to be accomplish

can be given is that the Doctors and
their Disciples hope thereby in some
way to perpetuate their power, and
restore peace, happiness and prosperity
to the South and nation, by forcing at
the point of the bayonet the intelligent
