We learn that its sessions will be held
in Washington Hall, some of our most

that place for its accommodation.
Thr enterprise in question is one that

The Reason Why.

The country is now plunged into a
fcrm,ut Of excitement merely because
III President has removed member of
his Cabinet, an act, the propriety of
which WAS never questioned before, aid
which was strictly within the boundsOf
his legitimate authority. What there is
in the proceeding of the President, OF in
the character of the office. or its incum-
bent, to Justify such comnotion, even
those who ale most excited would find
il difficult TO explain.
The Secretary of War is simply an
assistant of the President, a sort of first
class clerk, to execute his orders and to
represent his authority, and he is moth
Ing more. Without the Presidents
orders or consent he eau do no single
at, for he has no independent author
i'y of his own. Why then should the
nation BE- coDvulsed at 50 unimportant
an exercise of authority on the part of
the President' Suppose the officer re-
moved, instead of being Mr.. STANTON,
the Secretary cf War, who is known
to be the enemy of the President,
had been Mr.. STANBERY, the
Attorney General, who is known
to be his friend 7 Does any one sup
pose that in that case there would have
been any excitement or impeachment 7
Surely there is no sane man weak
enough to believe it,. Why then should
We have this tumult because the indi-
vidual removed happened to be another
officer of the Cabinet of similar rank !
There was nothing either in the office
or the man to merit so much interest
aud SO much bad feeling; nothing what
ever in the case to entitle it to any
more consideration than the removal of
any other high officer Of the Govern
mcnt. ~ O..
The reason consists simply in the fact
that Mr.. STANTON was an avOwed and
uotOriOns Radical, aud represented the
power of the Radical party in the cabi-
net. To lay hands upon him, therefore,
was to assail the party, AID to do that
was audacious, because the party, hav-
ing usurPed the entire power of the
Government, is supreme in the exercise
of it, will. 1t matters not that the
Secretary of War was simply the repre-
sentative of the President, aud could
only execute his orders, and that the
Office is unimportant. To touch Radi-
cal oficehOlder is sacrilege, and is
something to be promptly resented and
punished rI" sffN. ..a-

:
A number of women living in the
suburbs and outskirts of Boston have
subscribed money for the purpose of
building clubhouse for their own
convenience in central part of the
city. If after going to place OF amuse-
ment or social party they do not wish
to return home Immediately, they de-
sire q place where they, can sleep and
breakfast without the expense and pub
licity of an hotel. During midday
visit, if hungry or tired, a spot is need
ed where meal or rest can be obtained
and a room, if necessary, without being
protected by gentleman. The club
house is intended to be o place of meet
ing where, as directresses of different
societies they can hold conference,
Gentlemen, unless with consent of all
the members, will be rigidly excluded.
Only those will be received who may
have business reasons for coming. The
leaders In the movement are the wives
of the God and morality shoddy con-
tracing aristocracy.

THE Richmond correspondent OF one OF
the New York papers writes that during
the debate upon the suffrage question,
truculent negro member of the COnven-
ton said, awe intend to make Virginia
drink negro suffrage broad as the earth,
high as heaven, and deep as hell !" This
poor barbarian reminds us of one OF his
consins, whom one Of the recent Eng
lish explorers stumbled upon in Central
Africa. He was the king of q mighty
nation of one hundred and eighteen
blacks, who had been driven from their
village by an army of large red ants,
and, were kept in mortal terror by u
man-eptipg lion! The traveller mod
estly states that with pair of revol-
vers he could have hunted them from
one end of Africa to the, other, but the
king of these COngoes, despite the red
ants and the voracisus lion, regarded
himself rs the greatest monarch and his
"nation" as the most powerful in the
world. He sat upon o throne OF mud,
and his royal apparel consisted of red
nigbt-cap and pair of old boots! He
informed the traveller that he Occa-
sionally made the sun stand still, that
the moon trembled when he sneezed,
and when he w0s enrpged the stars
paled, and that he was monarch of the
earth. He then begged the Englishman
for string of glass beads, and was
caught the next night stealing the skin
and offal ola slaughtered kid. Here in
Virginia oil this negro yaporating is as
diverting as was this poor Africans van-
ity to the traveller.--ERquirers

Letters from the People.
FROM BRxTON COUNTY.
3 II IBRAxToN @. H., WRsT VA, I
March 9th, 1863.

March 9th, 1905.
Editor of the Register:
As .he adjournment of the Legisla-
ture before this shall have reached
Wheeling, prev ents us from presenting
to that body some additional facts, and
an explanation respecting the. proceed
ings of certain 'Indignation meeting
held the 18th inst, in this county, and
the proceedings of which, when pre-
sented In the Legislature by Mr.. Wood
FORD, were by Messrs. Bender, Pinnell
and Ferguson attributed to the ami
mus of the rebel party and treated
as, q political demonstration on
ly, we take this, our only
available present remedy Of assuring all
whom it may concern and especially the
=" gentleman from Braxton" that the
aforesaid Indignation meeting was by
no manner of means prejudicial polit-
ical gathering, but n general represeu-
tation on short notice, of all grades Of
political representatives, and whose ae-
ton has been fully indorsed by every
male and female in Braxton county,
who has arrived ut the years of ac-
countability. Moreover, the meeting
had alone, for its object the proper, just
and legitimate deRaHcidtioR of the course
pursued by Mr. Bender in voting as he
did with singularly infatuated obstina-
cy for Buekhannon as the permanent
seat of government, when his single
vote would have given one of majori-
ty for Builtown, in his own county, and
in all probability have secured, where
it properly belongs, the capital of the
State, But aside from the foregoing
probable superstition and reasonable
conclusion, what right had the "gentle-
man from Braxton" as common courte-
sy still compels US to designate him) to
desert his own county even in ddrerSity,
much less when victory was evidently
so propitious If Mr.. Bender can
satisfactorily explain to the
citizens of Braxton his ex-
traordinary conduct we will readily
give hinl credit for degree of legisla-
tive wisdom unparalleled in the annals
of ancient or modern history. Yet it
may be all right. Nevertheless, how Mr..
Bender can convince the people of
Braxton that he was representing their
interests, while tenaciOusly voting for
Buckharnon and but two points in
nomination, we are utterly at loss to
even conjecturei Light on this subject
will be thankfully received and ex-
cessively appreciated by those Of
US unacquainted with the secret,
profound and mysterious recent legis.
iative- workings, in which the aforesaid
gentleman has been taking an active
part. But enough for the present, and
of this character; when the proper
time shall have arrived and the pres
ent Legislature convenes in extra ses-
sion, we will take the trouble to cou-
vince that honorable body and the gen.
tleman from Braxton, by the srorny if
necessary, depositions of various per
sons of both parties, that he actually
fails to represent the wishes of this
people when legislating in the interest
of Buckhaunon. G. F. T.
