residence of her SON in-law, near Churchville in

Paragraph Corrected.

We publish the following correcting the state
ment in paragraph which we found in our
exchanges and published in our issue of the
18th of March. We published it as we found
it, and have no idea in what paper it appeared
originally, or who the author is It was wait
on the tide Of journalism when picked up by
us:
Editor Of The Spectator:
In looking over the Spectator of the 18th of
March, 1 was startled at the following item
1T is stated that in Randolph County, w.
Va, there are two hundred and ninety voters,
and three hundred and fifteen Office holders
the latter ''trooly loil' = ''''S'
Now Sir, allow me to say that there is no
truth whatever in Che above assertion,
In the FIRST glaea, there are are GIT Regis
tered Voters in Randolph County who have
sworn that they have no sympathy with the re-
bellion. Of these six hundred and seventeen
it is very liberal estimate to say that two hun
-. ana nifty were Union men in 1861 and g.
There are nine Townships IN l.aadoiph CO.,
| and al osloes, created BY law to be filled in
each, making, in the aggregate, three hundred
and thirty-three officers. Under the laws Of
| the old State, Randolph county, as her record
| will show, had four hundred and twenty eight
| DthcerS-most OF them p0ld 0thcerS too. 4 I'm
der the present State laws we hsvs niaosy.tive
officers less, and but little over one half Of the
| whole number receive any pay for their services
Now Sir, would suggest to the person who
informed the Spectator Of the condition Of
things in Randolph CO., that the next tiEe he
speaks, or wrises, to adhere to the truth.
Hoping that subscribers to the Spectator
| may increase, | remain,
Yours truly,
GEORGE CASTOR.

paragraph why Reconstruction" has proved a
failure: r.
It is, says our contemporary, because it was
sham and pretence from the first. Even the
very necessity for reconstruction was a fiction
put forth to deceive the country into giving the
people of one section up to the tender mercies
of politicians and fanatics from the other section.
There was nothing to be reconstructed In the
South but things that are not to be reconstruct
ed BY law. .cs- as-aH
