MARSHALL COUNTY.

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, August 20.
Editors of the Register:
Thinking that the good people of
other parts of the State would like to
know what we are doing for our coun-
try here in this wilderness part of Mar
shall county, will state that the Dem
ocrats and Conservatives of this town
ship held large meeting to-day for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
township Offices and appointing dele
gates to our County Convention, which
is to meet in Moundsville September
18th. The utmest harmony prevailed,
aud the following ticket, consisting of
the best men in the township, was nom
mated: Justice of the Peace, George
Karr; Supervisor, Elias r. Harris;
Treasurer, George McGlumphory; Clerk,
James r. Shrodes; School Commission
er, V. l.. McCuskey; Overseer of the
Poor, Michael Pyles; with one Surveyor
of Roads for each district, and appointed
five delegates to the County Conven-
ton. The people ofthis section are be-
ing thoroughly aroused to the danger
of Radical rule, and the earnest young
Democrats will give good account i'll
October and November. Hickory poles
are being raised all over the county at
towns and cross roads, aud Seymour
and Blair will get handsome majority
in Marshall county.

THE CAMPAIGN.
GREENBRIER COUNTY.
A scurvy Radical Dodge.

Editors of the Register:
la this county the Board of Registra-
tion, recently appointed, are refusing to
hold meeting under the law, and ap-
point registrars for the various town
ships. The Act of February 25, 1867,
requires the Board to meet as soon as
practicable (after they have qualifed)
at the court house, and after organizing
the Board, appoint zone loyal and up
right person" for each township, as reg
istrar. In this county the Board refuse
to meet, and they refuse to appoint
township registrars, and we understand
the same is true in the other counties of
this circuit. Tho old registrars who
eau act until their successors are ap-
pointed, all say that they are NO longer
in Office; that they have either been
removed or have resigned, and hence
decline to act. Thus there is to be no
registration.
Various frivolous excuses are given
by the Board and by the township reg
istrars for not acting, so as to make it
perfectly apparent to the dullest COM
prehension that the object is by mis-
orable and dirty trick, to prevent any
further registration. The conduct of
these men is such as to bring down upon
them the just suspicion that they have
been instructed so to act as to defeat all
further registration. 1t is by such
scurvy tricks as these that they expect
to carry the election. How is it, Messrs.
Editors, in other portions of the Statei
CIvIs.

Mr.. Estep, (Bingham's opponent
busily engaged stupming this district,
addressed extensive meetings yesterday
at Williamsburg and Kenonsburg. At
the former place the meeting was held
in grove near the town; not less than
five hundred people were present. The
day was calm and pleasant; the spot
handsomely decorated with flags and
flowers. The speaker concluded amid
rapturous applause, and many beauti-
ful boquets were showered upon him.
The meeting in the evening was
largely attended, and ended with SINH
lar happy results. | cannot encroach
upon your space with even the slight
est synopsis of Mr.. Els glowing elo-
qusuce and convincing argument. Suf-
flee it that his remarks were not devo-
ted exclusively to "loilty" and the 'life
of the nation" but his able discussion
of the finance and tax questi ons won the
attention and hearty approval of the in
telligent portion of the audience. This
fearless young statesman, starting out
in the Cate) unpopular crusade against
the veteran Bingham, feels gay and con-
fident. He is forming Seymour and
Blair clubs in every township, and cir
culating numerously, the proper dOcu-
ments, which has never been done be-
fore by the Democracy in this county.
The good effect is already discerni
BILE; the people are awakening to the
momentous issues at stake, and Demec-
racy, which has lain supine here for
years, is pluming herself for the fight.
Prominent citizens, contented hereto
fore in doing their whole duty in vet
ing, are laboring and agitating with
hopeful hearts. Happy omens meet us
upon every side, and from what have
seen and heard l prophecy the downfall
of that notorious demagogue, John A.
Bingham. The tour of his opponent,
so far, has been a glorious triumph,
and after the election Mr.. Bingham
must either go South and adopt the
genial occupation ola "carpet-bagger,
or skulk back to that merited obscurity
from which no one will scarcely care to
drag him again to day. S. t.

The Glasgow Herald says: The wild
ow of Stonewall Jackson has presented
to Mr.. David Macrae, of Glasgow, the
coat worn by the great soldier when he
fell in the arms of victory on the bat
tie field of Charlottesville. 1t was
preserved and sent by Gen. Lee to the
widow, bearing the marks of the fatal
bullet. The relic is accompanied by a
beautiful and touching letter, in which
Mrs. Jackson, referring to the country
from which Mr.. Macrae had come to see
the South and its people, speaks of it
as "the dear old land beyond the sea |
admire the most-good bonest-bearted, ,
Presbyterian Scotlandw We understand
it is Mr.. Macrae's intention to place this
and the other relics he has brought
from America in some public museum,
should there be a prospect of securing
other private collections, and forming a
historical museum of the late war, ac-
cessible to the public.

Think of This, Werkingmen (.

The Radical Congress, during the last
year, caused 1886, ,459 to be paid out to
clerks for dealing out food furnished by
taxes upon the labor of the country, to
negroes at the South. It's a good, kind
and parental Government for negroes.
1t matters not whether the negroes
work or are idle; the bounty of the
Radical Congress. like the sunshine
and rain, is bestowed upon all darkies
alike.
But how is it in regard to the white
workingmen of the countryi All. they
are an inferior breed. There is no
Radical Government bounty for them.
They are not even considered worthy
the crumbs that fall from the tables
spread for the black pets of our Radical
Congress.
There are no Bureaus for white work
ingmen. They and their families may
be sick; they may be destitute of the
common necessaries of life; but what
care Radical Congressman for this'
They must take good care of the negroes
in the South, and keep them fat and
sleek, in order to get them to vote for
the Radical candidates. But the white
workingmen, they think, they have got
so completely under, by means of high
prices, taxes, duties, banks and menopo-
lies of the products of labor, that they
dare not do otherwise than vote with
the Radical party.
So, no matter how much white work
ingmen suffer, or how distressed their
families may be, there are no Govern
ment agents appointed under the au-
thority and supervision of the Radical
Congress, to look after and take care of
them. No bread, meat, clothing and
medicine for them. Not at all. These
are bought by our Radical Congress, not
for any of yoI, white workingmen, but
for the "gentlemen of color" down

The Model Woman.

The Rev. II. L. Wayland writes:
l know one lady-I use the singular
number not unadvisealy-and she is
not compelled by her circumstances,
who makes housekeeping an art, who
studies chemistry and philosophy, that
she may adapt her table to the comfort
aud health other family; who is tho mis-
tress of her servant, and not their un-
paid dependent; whe knows when the
work of the house is done, and if it is
not done, is able to show the servants
the reason of their failure; and with all
this, she is not drudge, with soul
confined to pots and pans, but sensible,
pleasing and truly religious woman,
who, while embracing the happiness OF
her family and doubling the income OF
her husband, alike by reducing his ex-
penses and freeing his mind from vex-
ing cares, yet is also reading the best
books, is serving God and dispensing
charity to man. One such woman

or ruin; he believed that grave conse-
quences would ensue were the present
dominant party continued in power
affecting not merely the rights of the
States, but threatening the destruc-
ton OF free government, and depriving
the people of their liberties.
General Richardson concluded by say
ing that such were his reasons for leav-
ing the Republican party, and advo-
eating the election of Seymour and
Blair. He believed the best interests
Of the country require change in the
administration of the Government. No
honest man could be satisfied with the
existing state of affairs. A change, he
believed, would be for the better-the
situation could certainly not be worse.
Therefore, he intended to do all in his
power to secure the success of the Dem
ocratic ticket. He would work earn
estly to bring about that result, and he
called on all true men who loved their
country moro than party, to do the
same. We have only to do cur duty,
and our whole country will be rescued
from the control of the corruptioaists
and reVolutionists who now manage the
Radical party, and we will be rewarded
with united, prosperous and happy
people, and the election of men who
have the good of the whole country at
heart, and who will labor, not for per-
sonal aggrandlzement and party su-
premacy, but to bring peace and hap
piness to the people of this distracted
and unhappy land.

WHEN money is to be made the Radi-
Gals do not stop the column of fraud
and knavery to allow their sable allies
to pass. They will rob a one-legged
negro soldier, MANNED white man, or
the national Treasury, with the same
readiness. The Philadelphia Press says
in the recent investigation into the col
ored bounty frauds, "ffty-three cases
were found in which colored men who
had enlisted as slaves, and were cOnse-
quently entitled to one hundred dollars
bounty, received three hundred dollars
each, which is the amount paid under
the bounty act to free men. This list
of these cases was in the possession OF
the Congressional Committee when
Colonel COBB made his whitewashing
report, in which he stated that no
frauds had been discovered. What be-
came of the extra two hundred dollars
is not known Colonel COBB, who
made this "whitewashing report" is a
leading Radical from Wisconsin, and
doubtless had good reasons for wishing
to cover up the tracks of his party
friends in this matter of cheating the
negro soldiers. But it is the old story.
Whenever the Radicals are entrusted
with power, they use it to cheat the
people and plumber the Treasury. Not
even respect for the ''colored troops"
who "fought bravely," could prevent
the Radicals from stealing portion of
their bounty.

Those Fourteen Hundred Millions
Where are Theye

The carpet-baggers have been sud-
denly awakened to the important fact
that the war is ever, and that the peo-
pie, who during the rebellion, quietly
submitted to the most unpardoRable
excesses, on the part of the Radicals,
are disposed to submit no longer. They
demand full and correct account of
the stewardship of the party in power
Fourteen hundred millions of dollars have
been wrung from the unwilling pockets
of the taxpayers during the past three
years. What mas become of this appall-
ing sum of money! These three years
have been years of peace, and yet the
expenses of the government are larger
than at tho close of the war. What,
the people ask, has become of these four
teen hundred millions Of dollars Has
this amazing sum been applied to the
payment of the public debit Not
dollar of it. On the contrary, the pub.
lie debt has been increased-more than
thirteen millions having been added to it
during the past month. What then,
in the name Of the people, we ask, has
become of the fourteen hundred mil
lions collected by Federal tax gatherers!
Speak out, ye canting hypocrites; speak
out, and tell the honest masses how you
have spent their money. Has not the
standing army which yOu are maintain
ing in the South, for the purpose of
giving ten Southern States over to me-
gro rule, swallowed up hundreds of
millions of it Has not your black
abomination-the Freedmen's Bureau
which is only another name for one of
TIE most gigantic Political frauds ever
perpetrated upon an honest and coniid-
ing people, gulped down a hundred
millions or moreH Have not your un-
pardonable extravagances in every de-
partment of the government made way
with still ether millions Answer
these questions like honest men. If
you are the high toned party you pro-
fess to be, and are willing to stand
upon your record, answer the question.
What has become of these fourteen hun
dred millions 1t will not do to say
that this money was used to pay off
the soldiers at the close of the war. They
were paid with the money appropriated
for another year of war, and this money
was realized by the sale of seven-thirty
bonds after the war had closed We
await an answer.-PhilddelphiG Age.

But each night brings him home to lessening
store;
For Of all that he earns there's but little it
leaves
After feeding pet negroes and Radical thieves.
He's taxed for the hat that he wears on his
head;
The boots on his feet, and the sheets on his
bed;
Every rag that he wears, every morsel he eats;
His tea and his coffee, his bread and his meats,
The pot they are cooked in, the cup that he
fills;
Every instrument used on the land that he
tills;
Every tool that he works with; the lamp that
he burns;
The thing that he works on; the wages he

AyI even the match that sets light to the fire.
On his pipe of tobacco, his whisky and beer;
On Che medicine he buys for you, poor little

Te The taxes he pays, we now see no end
No, not even death crushed humanity's friend.
They tax cen his coffin, his shroud and his
grave;
And his baby must starve and his widow must

To hide in the earth he has hopelessly titled,
The,heart-broken husband whom TAXES have

Rocka by baby; sleep on whilst you can,
Thank God for the years ere you grew to

For though your father to-day is slave
To the fanatcal fool and the Radical knave,
He'll vote for you, baby, that you may be
spared,
The curse and the ruin your parents have
shared,
And prays that your life may be saved from his
shame
And the birthright of freedom be more than

Rock by baby; sleep sound while yOu may,
And your father will work and your mother
will pray,
That the Radical sharks, with their taxes and
lies,
May be swept as a cloud from Americas skies,
And new bow Of promise be set in the air
With the conquering banner of SEYMOUR AND

member Of society which attended
the funeral of their deceased brother re-

he had made a VOW never to enter one.
In the midst of the services, while the
clergyman was delivering his remarks,
the aforesaid member stuck his head in

shouted out about as follows: "YOu had
better hurry up things in there-we
don't want to wait out here all day" 1t
