Another Trance story.

The Evansville, Ind. Journal says ::
A gentleman, in whose credibility the
most implicit confidence may be placed,
relates the following singular story, the
parties TO which and the material facts
involved are personally known to him.
A young lady PANIED Helen Hunter, liv-
ing between Dycusburg and Princeton,
Kentucky, during q protracted religious
meeting held during the month of No
vember, under the influence of religious
excitement, fell into a trance, and re-
naained in state of apparent uncOnscl-
cusness for period Of five days. When
she was aroused from the State of leth-
argy into which she had fallen che re-
lated the experience of the five days
during which professed to have passed
into the other world and witnessed the
glories of Paradise as well as the horrors
of the bottonless pit. Bot the remark
able feature of the story is that she pre-
dicted that three young men,. then ap-
parently in the most robust health,
would die before the year was out. A
week after the predistiOn was made one
of the young men took sick and died in
a few days. A week OF ten days later
the second died, and on the first day Of
the new year the third one expired.

Pendlcton in IIIiEois.

We have letter from Springfield, H.
linois., from former Democratic mem
Der of Congress from that State, from
which we make the following extract :
II find that the leading men here,
without any exception, are for Pendle-
ton for President. They think he pos
sesses the great available qualities, to
say nothing of his conceded abilities.
Pendleton is decidedly stronger than
any man in the party. l know that al
ready the prospect of Pendletoa's nom
ination has given more life and enthusl.
asm to the Democracy of his State than
they have exhibited since 1860. Pen
dleton has more instructive held OH
the Democracy of the State than an ;
man except Douglas ever had, and far
deeper than any man alive to-day"
The Democratic State Convention in
Illinois will, We believe, instruct for
Pendleton, without fail.-Cin. IRqairer.

advice Gratis.o

We do not know what the Intelligencer
means by "the moderate wing" Of the
Democracy. If any Democrats do, ard
consider themselves as included in the
IRteiligencer's designation, they can find
some amusement in psrusing its leader
OF yesterday, designed for their personal
edifcation.
When any portion of our people want
a defence from that ponderous pop
gun, they will join the ranks in whose
special behalf it is trained. Until that
time, however, they will be content to
laugh at the organs impertinence in
volunteering it's counsels for their ell
lightenment.
If the IHtelligsRcer could understand
the light in which not only Mr.. LAMB
and Mr.. BICKEI, but all other Demo
Gratis view its stupid presumption, it
would hardly manifest so much zeal in
matters that do not concern it, for pur-
poses that are at snce apparent and
-impossible.
We slmost pity the necessities that
compel the Radical organ to resort to
such miserable device to secure some
foot hold for the coming election. Des-
perstiou makes men blind, and our
neighbor must have been terribly des-

suRResfixe statiatics.

The following suggestive statistics
are taken from the annual report of the
New York City Missions; Official state
mepts place the number of drinking
places in the city at 5000. The receipts
of these establishments have been va
riously estimated. Two thousand dol
lars each year would not be consider
ed extravagant by those familiar with
the subject; and this would make Sl6,-
100000 as the gross amount expended in
that direction. The police report states
that there are 223 saloons where young
and comely women are employed nom-
inally as walters, the number OF
houses Of prostitution and assignation
at 730, and females confessedly leading
lewd lives at 3i17. 1t is generally be-
lieved that besides these there is very
large number of women of easy virtue
who visit houses of assignatiOl. There
are isO, ,36S persons living in tenement
houses in the city. There were held
during the year 5217 religious meetings,
and l4,453 persons have been persuaded
to attend religious worship; 1862
visits'were made, and 1907 ,Ssl tracts
distributed.

Co., W. VA, January S, 1868.
Editor Of the Register:
/ promised some time in the early
part of last fall to tell you how We were
getting along with our free schools, un-
der Radical management. Well, We are
getting along swinmingly. We have
had, on ON average, one month of school
each year since our admirable free
school system came into operation.
Now that is doing we'll, is it not,
when we are only paying sixty cents
tax on the one hundred dollars worth
of property' We are getting school
houses built, too. Twill tell you how
we do it. We have done away with the
credit system altogether, and are now
going in on q safe plan. IOu know
She law authorizes the Board OF
Education to borrow money for
building purposes. but they think that
the safest plan would be to only invest
what money they have on hand, which
is about one hundred and eighty dollars
TO each school district. Each contractor
in bidding for a job has to say that he
will do 50 much toward building house
for one hundred and eighty dollars, the
same contractors put nPsa frame for q
house and others little more, and some
little less. TIE traveller through this
country can see number Of such jobs
all waiting for moro mohsy to finish
them. Probably at that rate they will be
finished In tive or six years, but there is
no contractor but what would have
rather finished house and taken town
ship bond for the balance of his money

Lean Yenr Privileges.

The Jackson (Ohio) Standard, in an
article on leap year, and the liberty
which it is supposed to give woman to
make offers Of love, says: If woman
loves a man, let her tell him SO, in a
prudent, delicate manner, and if he is a
man of sense (and no other kind of a
man deserves the love of woman) he will
reply in becoming manner. If the ef-
fort is too great, write out the propo-
sal and send it to him. l believe in
writing. You can weigh your own
words and consider their probable effect.
Try it, girls, especially leap year. Many
q worthy man is too diffident to propose
marriage, who, if some sensible woman
(and only such address, should make
proposal, would accept. Let yonr COM
munications be strictly confidential,
and no honorable man will betray that
confidence. But let not the men leave
all to the women during leap year. Go
on with your part of the contract, as u.s.
ual. believe that marriage, as q gen.
eral rule, is best for both men and wo-
men. Of course there are exceptions.

1 Congress has admitted that it never
had any fixed policy af reconstruction
It's last proposition upon this subject,
admits that all its past measures for re-
storing the South were inadequate to
the end and that il was incompetent for
the task.
The latest deliverances point to the in
vestmeut of GRANT with dictatorial pow
ers and to the abolition of the Supreme
Court. Then, if GRANT succeeds in At
ricanizing aud Radicalizing the South,
Congress will appropriate the glory.
Should he fail, the burden of the
failure will he his and Congress will
dodge the responsibility.
The great question Of reconstruction
is now farther from settlement by the
Radicals than at any time since the
close Of the war. Every step taken by

The chances of Seymour's success for
the Presidency have been earnestly dis
cussed by the Democratic leaders who
came here to assist in making up the
legislative "slate." Seymour himself
was expected, but he'was kept at home
by serious illness. He was represented
in the consultation by George II. Sand
ford. Among Others present were John
A. Green, Sanford E. Church, Peter
Cagger, William NJ. Tweed and Peter
B. Sweeny. 1t was understood that Mr..
Seymour was willing to be a candidate
if his friends chose TO urge his claims, but
that he was personally apprehensive of
the greater popularity of George II. Pen
dletOD, for whom the whole West and
South would be u unit. Indeed, Mr.
Seymour felt it would be to the inter
est of the Democratic party to run Mr..
Pendleton, who had by his avowed poll
cy made himself the champion Of the
Democratic platform with reference to
the finance question. From what has
transpired of the proceedings of this
consultation it is very certain that if
the leaders succeed in manipulating the
machine at the State Convention OH the
22d of February next, a delegation will

New York pledged to tender Seymour a
complimentary nomination, but to sup.
port Pendleton in formal ballot. The
current which has set in for the latter
has reached New York.

Radical Reuistratisn,

The Parkersburg Times, Governor
BoREMAN's organ, in an article upon
che Democratic State Convention,
quotes the following portion of the ad-
dress:
THE &C .dsl intent of the Registra-
tion law is to disfranchise the oppo-
nents of Radicalism.
Under its operations, Union soldiers
have been DISTINGUISHED, and men who
have served in the Southern armies
have been enrolled as Radical voters.
Young men Of known and active
fidelity to the Union cause have been
disfranchised without the shadow OF
instice."
The Times comments as follows:
Let's have the proof of this. Some
Union soldiers having been dismissed
from the service for eowsrdice, or other
causes, who, smarting under the dis
grace, became rebels, may have been
disfranchissd. On tho other hand, men

How the Abolition Government On
GERS Rob the Revenue OF the Tax on

GERS Rob the Revenue OF the Tax on
Whisky.
The Senate has under consideration
the whisky tax robberies. Mr.. Schenck,
chairman of the whisky revenue CON-
mittee in the House, shows that while
the Government was entitled to receive
hundred millions of dollars tax on
whisky, not more than thirty millions
were paid-showing that seventy per
cent. was divided between the Abolition
revenue officers and the proprietors of
the whisky. A pretty good per centum
for collecting-pretty we'll up to the
Jay Cooke ring.
A plan is under consideration for as
certaining the whisky-producing capac-
ity of all kinds of grain, with view to
tax the grain to the extent of what
hisky it ought to yield, before sub:
jecting it to the process of distillation,
in the hope of increasing thereby the
whisky revenue We venture the pre-
diction that before this Congress can
prevent its friends in the revenue SER
vice from pocketing the chief part Of
the taxes assessed, it will have TO as
certain the eOrn-prOducing capacity of
all the cultivable laud in the country,
in view of taxing it for what grain it
ought to yield.
PAYMENT OF FEDERAL BONDS IN GREEN
BACKS TO BECOME THE REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM.
In the Cincinnati Commercial, lead
ing Republican journal, Of the 10th, we
find the following:
at is not impossible that, by the
time the great National Conventions
meet, the greenback and bond policy of
the Republicans and Democrats will be
substantially the same, and that, if an
issue is to be made on that question, the
latter will have to take the course
which it has been predicted it would,
and frankly declare itself in favor of
fat reputation"
Too late in your suggestions. The
Democratic position is already taken.
The only earthly chance for the CONNER
ciarS party is to take the advance posi-
tien of reputation that it speaks of, for
itself We have little doubt that any
honest party, any party less obnoxious
to the country than that led on by
thieves and robbers that has controlled
and ruined the Government for the past
seven years, would beat greenbacks on
the doctrine of reputation of all debts
incurred exclusively to rob the tax pay
ers, merely to enrich shoddy thieves;
and if the Abolition party is continued
in power it will come 70 this at last

GREENBRIER COUNTY. W. VA. }
January s 1865.

VkEENBRlEh IpJNlls w. ~
January 1868. !
Editor of the Register;
The State Conservative Convention
will, | presume, convene in Wheeling
to-day. Every one in the State oppos-
ed to Radicalism will look with intense
interest to its proceedings.
1t is to be hoped that q plan of organ
ization will be perfected and adopted,
that will develop the entire Conserva-
tive power Of the State at the next cleo
ton. This is all that is needed to re.
deem the State from Radical misrule.
Organize the virtue and intelligence of
the State into pelltcal power and they
will soon hurl from office those who
have disgraced the positions they have
occupied. We have too long needed
the counsels OF the time-serving and
timid. We must beard the Lion Of Rad
icalism in his den, if we expect to de-
stroy him. Because some Of us may
have participated in, or sympathized
with the late rebellion, we should by no
means flatter ourselves that we have no
part to perform in the great work of
redeeming the State. Every man op-
posed to tyranny and oppression, and
who is in favor of Republican form Of
government, should realize that he has
something to do.
Participation in the rebellion is noev-
idence that one is now opposed to the
Government of the United States or
that of West Virginia. am satisfied
that with but very few exceptions,
those who were actively engaged in hos
tilities against the Government during
the late war, are now much more loyal
to it than many who claim to have had
an exuberanco of patriotism during the
DAYS of the rebellion, and since the
close of the war. The loyalty
of the dominant power consists,
in a great degree, of a total disregard OF
the rights of others, and an unsuitable
hdnkering after the "loayes and fishes
The loyalty of most of the faithful and
honored in this portion of the State is
the legitimate offspring of an iuvincible
fear of bullets. Many of our most bril-
liant lights in the Radical ranks, were in
the commencement of the war, Jealous
advocates and defenders of the Southern
Cause, but as the contest waxed hot
they seemed to realize the truth that
He who fought and ran away,
Might live to fight another day.
These are tho men who seek to deprive
their superiors of every right of citizen
ship, and who will make them "hewers
of wood and drawers of water" for them
in alltlme to come, if test osths can be
retained as the only evidence of loyalty.
Let every man in the State | care not
what may have heve been his political
status heretofore, ifhe disapprove the ne
fsrious acts of the Radical party, enlist
at once in the Conservatives ranks, and
contribute all in his power to its over
throw. OCCASIONAL.

than to do the way they are doing.
Perhaps the Boards of Education will
see. their folly and give the next con-
tractor the whole job, and give then
township bond for what money they
have not on hand. ...
There are plenty of houses that could
be used for schools, but we have no
teachers. Those who can take the oath
cannot pass an examination, and those
who can pass an examination will not
take the oath. Persons who can take
the oath and pass an examination could
get employment in this county. That
there will be some change in the pres
ent state of affairs, so that We can have
some schools in this county, is my earn
est wish. NOBODY.
