Discharge Of Clerks from the State Depart
ment.
Some little commotion was Occasioned to-day by
the reduction OF the clerical force Of the State De-
partment owing 10 want OF adequate appropriation
by Congress. Eighteen temporary clerks were dis
charged by Secretary Seward on this account, many
Of them being soldiers who did good service during
the rebellion. The appropriation is entirely INSULT
cient for the wants Of this department, where the
business Is quite brisk at the present time. The
whole amount in the appropriation bill Is but
5000 for temporary clerks or about one-ffth OF
what is actually required The average salary Of the
discharged clerks is 81, 200 per annum

Flint, OF Boston. against the Norwich and New York
Transportation Company, which vas tried In this
city several months ago, when the jury failed TO
agree, was decided Saturday by q verdict for the
plaintin with $4,000 damages. The amount claimed
was $4,000. The case will be remembered by many
OF our readers In June 1864, the plaintiff with Q
lady In ms charge went from Boston TO New
York, by way OF New London, taking the steamer
City OF Boston at New London for New York. on
board the boat wasa large detachment OF soldiers,

lower deck a loaded musket fell from the hands
OF one OF them and was discharged, the ball passing
through the foot OF the plaintiff Just back OF the toes
shatterina the bones and causing dangerous wound
from which he suffered severely for long time, and

wac compelled 10 have his foot stipulated. He suf-
fered Tor period OF nearly three months and In
Cured expenses In city distant from his home.
HIS activity and capacity for business and profess
slvna usefulness have been more less permanent
~ impaired, and he claimed damages on the ground

WHEELING W w. MONDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY "a 1868.

grind Mr. Chambers, of Jefferson,
teelingly referred to the victory wen in
his county and the service rendered to
the cause by the disfranchisement Of
1000 of his neighbors. He thought
such self-sacrificing patriotism was
entitled to better treatment than was
proposed. Here Mr.. Sinsel, of Taylor,
poured oil on the troubled waters by
proposing that each county have one
vote for each delegate she has in the
House. This was agreed to; and nom-
nations for fonr delegates for the State
at large to go to the Chicago Conven-
tion being now in order, the names of
several gentlemen were proposed.
The following were chosen: John
r. Hubbard, of Wheeling; E.
X. Hall, Of Fairmont, ID. d.
Farnsworth, Buckhannon, H. C. Nc
Whorter, of Kanawha, A. w.
Campbell, of Wheeling, and the
notorious Nat. Harrison were
candidates, and it is q sufficient COM
ment on the character Of the conven-
tion to state the fact that the man with
the villaiuous phiz and judged by his
conduct, more villainous heart, received
four times as many votes as did Mr..
Campbell.
For District Delegates, the following
selections were made:
lst District S. ID. Karnes, F. G. Pier
point. -..-
2d District-J. T. Hoke, - Perry.
Sd District-Cyrus Newlin, Thomas
Boggess.
An effort was made to displace the
present State Executive Committee, at
the head of which is A. w. Campbell,
and it very nearly succeeded; for the
lack of confidence in it was so manifest
as to impel Mr. Campbell, on behalf
of the committee, to tender their res
ignations. About this time there was
quite little tempest among the faith
tul, and among other things done was
the tabling of resolution instructing
the delegates for Grant for President.
They instructed for Andy johnson four
years ago, they said-and that was
reason enough for this action.
In the furry about Grant and the Ex.
ecutive Committee, the "Black Crook
troupe scattered.

The MouudsyilIe Meeting.

One of the finest political meetings
which it has ever beeh our privilege to
witness, was held by the Democrats aud
Conservatives of Marshall county, at
Moundsville OH Saturday. The call had
been issued for County Convention to
be composed of ten delegates from each
township, but great numbers of Others
turned out, SO that large mass meet
Ing was had.
As this was the first meeting of the
kind held in Moundsville for several
years, unusual interest was manifested,
aud many were disposed to question
whether it would be success. The char
aeter and numbers ofthose in attendance
put at rest all doubts upon the subject.
The solid, substantial citizens Of the
county were there, the soldier element
vas largely represented, and very many
Republicans helped to swell the crowd.
large number of ladies also graced
the occasion with their presence.
The order was good, the enthusiasm
warm, and the proceedings harmonious.
The Convention proper met in the
morning and mstured and adopted a
plan for county organization. An ad-
IOurnment was then had until balf-past
one o'clock. At the hour named the
meeting re-assembled, organized, and
was addressed by the following speak.
ers, in the order named: II. S. WALKER,
OF Wheeling; w. IL. OLDHAM, Esq, of
Marietta; DIR. o. G. CHASE, sf Putnam
county, and J. G. LANE, of Cameron, We
have not space to give report Of the
speeches, bat it will be sufficient to say
that they were listened to with marked
attention and warmly applsuded. The
leading political issues of the day were
all discussed, and evidently TO the salts
faction of the assemblage. The speak
Ing was continued until late in the
afternoon, when the meeting adjourned
IN the best of spirits and with the high
est delight at the bright prospects
ahead.
The people of Marshall county have
made splendid start, the reaction in
their midst is wonderful, and strange as
hmay appear, the result will be the
redemption Of that county from Radi-
cal thraldom.

rh. Radical Courestien

The state Convention" into which
the Radicals of the Legislature resolved
themselves on Saturday, was, barring
the Congo gatherings of tie South, one
Of the most ridiculous assemblages OF
the period. The mode of its organiza-
tion was disgusting, seeing that 1t was
composed mainly of persons who draw
nav as members of the Legislature,
while deliberating in this incongruouS
rouclave. Ii would BE odd and nonsen-
scal to require the public to pay any
partisan aSsemhlage, but that the men
who are paid to make laws should de-
vote the time which belongs 10 the
people 10 such business as that of Sat
urday, "passeth all understanding"
We commend this view of the case to
Radical taxpayers.
Another feature of the performance is
worthy of notice. We allude 10 the
prominence of the more disreputablo of
the representatives Of loyalty" From
the report Of the proceedings, ii will be
seen that the very men of whom the
more respectable Radicals are most
ashamed figured and tlourished therein,
while the men who have contributed
most to save the party from absolute
disrepute. we're mercilessly suub.
bed by the rag, tag and bo6taii
element OF the bogus Convention.
The debate upon the basis # repraSen-
taton affords food for profitable ref c.
tiouS. 1t would appear that the test of
loyalty" is political prescription, and
that the county is most "loyal' which
robs the greatest number of men of their
rights aud does the most viilaiuS to Sc
cue Radical triunphs.
Take it all in all, the new BLACK
Crook was in all respects satisfactory
10 the Democrats who saw or have
heard OF its proceedings. If We had
been permitted te say what the troupe
should do and how it should be done,
we could not have improved upon the
performance.

produce bushel of potatoes when ripe,
equal to 444 bushels to the acre.
With this information all can tell the
number ofboxes required to furnish sets
sufficient to plant any desired space.
COMPOST FOR THE SETs.-Mix up lot
of soil or sand and fine manure OF finely
sifted coal ashes ard sand, OF fine sand
alone will do, having boxes and COM
post ready.
PROCEED TO Cur THE SETs.-Select
from your stock Of seed potatoes all
those that have good strong sprouts at
the point or nose end; cut off each sprout
with bit Of potato attached to it. The
end sprouts are to be kept separate, and
marked No. l.; the next or middle
sprouts or eyes, No. 2, and the eyes at
the rtem or butt end, No. 3. Number
the boxes accordingly, and when ready
to set in the open ground plant out in
the same order. No. will ripen first,
No. 2 next, and No. 3 following. .--Gaia

The sets being ready, cover the bot
tenn of the boxes with the compost, then
set the eyes on it SO they touch each
other, fill up the boxes with compost,
wet with warm water occasionally,
keep in a warm room-if desired to push
them forward keep quite warm; if ne.
cessary to retard them remove TO cool
place. From two to three weeks brings
them into fine condition for setting in
the open ground, which is generally
about the first week in April in the vi.
cinity of New York city.
A few days prior to planting out the
sets, water should not be applied
ting the sets dry off greatly facilitates
the separating of the rootlets, for on
turning Ihem out of the boxes they will
be found in compact mass, like sod
of grass; careful and repeated shaking
viii separate them nicely, preserving
the rootlets of each set entire. If any
Of the sprouts have grown too long, 50
they would be above ground when
planted, such should be laid down and
covered with earth, if in danger of
| frost.
