DEMOCRACY West The Washington
Constitutional Union, after careful survey
of the Western field, through correspondence
and exchanges, Democratic and Jacobin,
finds most conclusive proof that the political
campaign is being rWaged there with an ener-
gy and fierce spirit Of determination never
before witnessed, It is no uncommon thing
to see in an Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, or
Ohio paper more than one hundred political
meetings advertised, together with the names
Of noted stump orators, Senators and States
men, From all accounts these meetings are
largely attended, but as a general thing the
evidence discloses the fact that the Democrat
ic meetings are the largest and most enthu-
sias;ic, and the results the most favorable to
7 the Democratic party Our friends every
where have no reason to doubt the ability Of
the Democrats to carry Ohio and Indiana. -
The thirty four electoral votes of those two
States are put down with great confidence
to the credit of Seymour and Blair The
strong faith of the Democratic party that
they will be elected is becoming more and
more perfect each succeeding day, for the
reason chat fresh evidence is given, not only
of their increasing popularity, but of the
great fact that the people have made up
their minds that change will benefit the
whole country, aud that the well-being of
the government, even in the immediate flu
ture, demands it, = .-of. -s-g...

Dear si;r-Dr Kennedy, bearer of this,
has some apprehension that Federal officers,
not citizens Of Louisiana, may be set up as
candidates for Congress in that State. In
my view, there could be no possible object in
such an election. We do not particularly
need members Of Congress from these States
to enable US to get along with legislation
here. What we do wants the conclusive
evidence that respectable citizens of Louis
lana are willing to be members Of Congress,
and to swear support to the Constitution, and
that other respectable citizens there are will
ing to vote for them and send them. To
send parcel of Northern men here Repre-
sentatives, elected, as would be understood
(and perhaps really so,) at the point Of the
bayonet, would be disgraceful and outrage
Gus, and we're member of Congress here
I would voteagainst admitting any such man
to seat. s..

The Surratt Case-A Nice Point.

Surratt was discharged because it was not
charged in the Indictment that he had fed
from justice The act of 1890 provides:
s.Nor shall any person be prosecuted, tried !,
or punished for any offence not capital, nor
for any fine or forfeiture under any penal
statute, unless the Indictment or information
for the same shall be found or instituted
within two years from the time ofcommitting
the offence of mourning the fine of forfeiture
aforesaid: Provided, That nothing herein
contained extend to any person or persons
fleeing from justice"
Now, it was well-known fact that SUR
RAFT did flee from justice; yet as no such
count was contained in the indictment, he
was discharged. The District Attorney CAR
R1NaroN, was mortified. The following scene
is reported:
vo"Mr Darlington asked that the case be
certified to the court in banc, A new in
dictment can be found at the next term.
ssThe Court said that it was not in the
habit of certifying questions fully argued
before him to the court in banc.
s.Mr, Darlington said that he would
frame an Indictment consonant with the
views Of the Court, and would make appll-
cation to the Court that he might be held.
Judge Wylie said that the Court had
made it's decision, but that Mr.. Darlington
might, if he thought proper, on legal afi
davits. have him rearrested.
'NIr. Darlington: have the right to ap-
peal, and I ask that the prisoner be not dis
charged.
Judge Wylie: That is your lookout.
The prisoner is now discharged.
s'Mr. Darlington Will not your Honor
renew the bail Of the prisoner? ! propose to
bring him again before the grand jury.
"Judge Wylie: Well, you can have him
rcarrested. -.
"Mr. Darlington; Then l ask your Honor
to issue the warrant. f...
'Judge Wylie: No; the only offence Of
which I am cognizant was committed over
two years before the Indictment was filled.
I know nothing of his having fed from JUS
tice, and for aught of which I have judicial
knowledge, the man may have been in the
city all the time. .a.s, ...ts s..

matter, and will listen to nothing further.

propose by your permission, to offer to

questions for the benefit of all whom it may
concern.
lst Have you a proper understanding of,
and faith in, the things concerning the King
dom Of God, and the name of Jesus Christ :?
End. If so have you obeyed from the
heart that form of doctrine delivered you in
the word of Holy writ?
3rd. Is the name Of the Church to which
you belong, the same as the one which was
prosecuted by Saul Of Tarsus near Eigh-
teen hundred years ago?
4th. If SO, have you entered in by Christ
the door, or have you climbed up some 9TH
er way?
9Th. Is it apostolic for Disciples of Christ
to keep the feast Of the passover, since the
resurrection of our blessed Lord; He in his
crucifxion, death, burial and resurrection,
having become his disciples passover?
9th. Are not the foregoing questions,
when rightly solved, necessary to the estab-
fishing you on sound doctrine?
7th. In short, have you the name, the
faith, and the practice, that will entitle
you ultimately to an inheritance among the
Saints in light? ,e.a. -os q,
8th. Had you not better examine your
self on the foregoing questions, by the word
Of truth in its right division, as in all rea-,
sonable probability it may not be very far
in the future, when, in accordance with the
10th and 18th Verses, Of the LIST Chapt of
Acts of the Apostles, our Blessed Lord will
return? But as he has said, Of that day
and hour knoweth no man. for one can
not contradict his words. a ss,@ 40 /

end, as some persons Of late have asserted,
why is not the Prophet Daniel standing in

The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1868-12-30

THE Monongahela (Pa.) Republican
announces that Hon. VIM. Price has
introduced in the Senate of West Vir-
ginia resolutions 1nstrucGDg the Sena-
Tors and Representatives from that
State to obtain from Congress a grant
of public lands in aid of the MOnOnga-
hela Valley Railroad, and we are fully
persuaded that they will work earnest
ly and faithfully to procure such
grant. The friends of the road in this
State will also ask the Legislature at
its next meeting to pass such resolu-
ton. Mr.. Lawrence is deeply interested
in the success of our road, and will
readily lend his influence in executing
the will of the people as expressed
through the Legislature, and we have
no fears of the aid of all the Representa-
tives whose constituency border on the
river. Senator Cameron has already
expressed an interest in the success of
our enterprise, and we are assured that
he will tax an active part in securing
whatever congressional action may be
necessary. WeknOw that our Represen-
tntiyes in the Legislature, Messrs. Buff
tington and Vankirk, are ready to car
nv out the wishes of the friends of this
railroad, and we trust that the Alleghe.
nv county delegation Will for once be
unit in our favor, although the senior
member of the delegation deemed 1t
proper in his own view to oppose the
legislation under which the company
has been so promptly organized. But
we must not rely on outside aid to the
exclusion of this effort, which must be
put forth by ourselves to insure success.
between this place and Pittsburgh at
least $500, 900 must be raised before the
road to this place will be constructed;
with that much finished and unencum-
bered, the balance will be secure. The
President of the road has passed lately
all along the route, and will be full able
to report the feelings of the people ofthe
valley on the matter at the first annual
meeting of the stockholders, to be held
on the second Monday of January.
