instant, that marriage certificate issued

corporation to constitute part of a public

which i, is hoped will he the case at an

step, Is that the committees may have an
opportunity 10 do their work, and that i,

first thought this would soom TO be true
but when il is known that there are but
two or three of the important committees,

the House will, at an early date, re-

quietly and cunningly to put out of the

The Parkersburg correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer writing over
the signature of "Kanawha," has the
hardihood to assert of Hon. Vim. Z.
Stevenson that he is "a negro worship
per-" and with equal truth he goes on
TO say: "He refused to speak for Blair
his party candidate for the Legislature
WAS "greenback" man."
Its about time such lying ISLANDERS
were nailed. 1t is known to hundreds
of our citizens that not only did he not
refuse to speak for Mr.. Blair for the
Legislature. but that on the night be-
fore tho election which resulted in the
choice of Mr.. Blair, he made such a
speech in our Court House for Mr.. Blair
and against the niEgerism of the Con-
sentative Democratic party that not a
grease spot was left of their little pet
blowers. He Theoretically sealed the
worse than negro breath of which they
are made, and many of our citizens GO
off yet into an Irresistible laughter at
the good natured manner in which he

casion is referred to.

The Boys in Blue.
Editors IntelLi0eucey


hope your readers will pardon the
presumption If make one suggestion.
The Democrats Just now are very
loud in their professions of devotion
to the Union, and they. seem to take n
great deal of glory in the fact that some
men who fought for the Union are now
cooperating with them. We all very
well know that during the war there
were few men who deserted the Union
camp and went over TO the rebels and
we are not prepared to deny that there
have been a few such desertions since.
But, by reading their organs and listen
ing TO their harnDgues from the stump,
one would suppose that the whole Union
army was about to throw itself into
the arms of the rebel Democracy.
Now, il order to test the point, to
know TO certainty which party the
Boys i'll Blue really do belong to. 1
would suggest that the Republican
Township Committees, or any one else
having the matter in charge, give a
public challenge to the Democracy of
the township to the effect that, at their
respective pole.raisings (for it is proba-
BILE there will be one or more flag poles
raised by each party in nearly every
township in the State) the flag will be
raised by the Union soldiers of the
township.
In this way we can tell the relative
strength of the two parties in this re-
gard. II the Democrats do not accept,
it will be confession that they are
woefully behind in regard to soldiers.
L would also further suggest that the
soldiers be dressed as near as possible
in their old uniforms. 1t would be in
teresting, indeed, to see how many SOL
diers there are who are willing to don
the old army blue and help to raise a
flag on which is inscribed the name of
the man who protested to be the friend
of the drunken mob in New York city
that was banded together for the pur-
pose OF resisting the draft.
