FoRNEY publishes letter from some
loyal man in Staunton, who complains
loudly of having been compelled to pay
his debts by rebel court. Considering
that the debt was confessedly for services
rendered by poor fellow who took this
loyal mans place in the army, it is ques-
tionable whether more disgraceful trans
asction was ever trumpeted to the world
by the guilty party than this attempt to
evade the payment of debt due one man
who put his life in peril for the benefit of
another.
But has Radical any of the ordinary
characteristics of mankind in general

Charleston, Kanawha county, has been
fixed upon by one branch of the West
Virginia Legislature as the seat of govern
ment. Then the capitals of both Virginia
and West Virginia will be upon the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad. 1t is supposed,
however, that the seat Of government will
not be- fixed upon by both houses of the
bogus Legislature aforesaid within the
next ten years. The body is made up of
scallawags and ignoramnses--"t the cankers
of q long war ''-and will have to undergo
purgation before becoming the equal of
any other legislative body in this country.

" EUsTACE GIBSON"

Some discussion ensued, and several
motions to recommit were made.
Mr.. ALLAN denounced the report as un-
Just, inasmuch as he had been charged be-
fore the Convention of ll-doing without
the slightest knowledge on his part that
such charges were being made, and conse-
quently without any opportunity on his
part to answer them, or to bring in any
evidence in his own behalf. He claimed
that the committee had gone outside of it's
province, and demanded that it be recon-
mitted for further investigation--for if it
we're adopted, it would forever damn his
fair fame.
Mr.. E. GIBSON answered Mr.. ALLAN,
arguing that the committee had acted un-
der the instructions of the Convention. The
evidence upon which the report was made
was in the possession of the committee,
and would be carefully copied, and the
members would have ample opportunities to
see them.
After further discussion the matter was
recommitted to the committee, with in
structions to take whatever evidence
should be brought before them, and to re-
port fully to the Convention. 1t was
allowed that the committee be allowr,d to
sit during the sessions of the Convention.
PROPOSITION FOR REPORTING.
Mr. BowDEN. submitted proposition
from Mr.. SAMUEL for reporting the re-
naming debates for 50 per page, instead of
1888 as heretofore; which he claimed was
cheaper than ever before paid for similar
work. The proposition was accepted.
ADJOURNMENT, ETC.
Mr.. WHITE called up the following:
RESOLVED, That the evening session to-
morrow February 29) be dispensed with,
and that the morning session be continued
at the discretion of the Convention.
RESOLVED, That Mr.. WALTON of She
nandoah, shall have the floor when the
order of the day is taken up tomorrow
February 29) and that when his time has
expired, Mr.. HUNNICUTT, of Richmond,

An Indiana correspondent of the
Times says the following is the pro-
gramme agreed upon by the leaders
of the Hendricks movement;
"The Indiana delegation will, in
New York, vote for a moderate plat
form and strenuously resist the re-
peal of the two-thirds rule, both moves
being hostile to the nomination of
George FL. Pendleton. The delega-
ton ofsome Eastern State (the assis-
lance Of the delegates from Connect
cut, it is said, has already peen Sc
cured for the purpose) will nominate
senator Hendricks, and the Indiana
delegation will unanimously vote for
him. Before the result of the first
ballot is announced,it is expected that
half the delegation from Illinois, Two
thirds of those from Missouri and
Iowa will change their votes from Pen
dleton to Hendricks, thus reducing
Pendleton's vote to much less than
one-half of the whole lumber of votes
cast. On the second ballot it is ex
pected that nearly all the Eastern
States will vote for Hendricks, ant
that the Indiana senator will then al
ready be nominated by more than {
two-thirds majority"

I'VE have had twenty Presidential
terms, being near the end of the twen-

/ full. OF the fourteen elected Presi-
dents George Washington, William
Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor
were the only ones not bred to the
law, in their more youthful life, or
entering it later of their maturer de-
sire. Washington was a surveyor,
planter and soldier Harrison studied
medicine, but went into military at an
early day; Zachary Taylor was a
soldier and a planter, and a pretty
fair compound of the fighter and az.

The Democratic Association of
Baltimore, an organization some 5000
strong, have passed strong resolutions
against the nomination of Mr.. Chase
for the Presidency.
All sorts of Democratic rumors
come from New York. Among them
is one to the effect that, after com
pIimentary vote to Pendleton, Hon.
Horatio Seymour will be chosen by a
handsome majority as a candidate for
President. 1t was stated that his
recent speech was evoked with this
view. The New YORK delegation are
all unanimously in favor of Seymour's
nomination. They are leaving no
stone unturned to secure it.
