THE CAMPAIGN ARGUS!
EVERY FAMll Y SHOULD HAVE TT
Only One Dollar

The coming Presidential cam.
paign will be one of the most i'm.
portant ever held in this cou1l-
try. IT will decide whether our
Government is to be preserved and
administered III accordance with the
principles of the Constitution, Or
whether It shall lapse. into a central
power and, at last, into military
despotism. 1t is subject of the
highest Importance that arrange
ments be made for furnishing the
people with proper reading matter,
in order that they may be Informed
upon the issues TO be voted on. For
this purpose we offer to furnish the
WEEKLY ARGUS in clubs of ten
copies or more, all sent to one Tnaa,
and for distribution among people
who are not now subscribers, at 81
each, for six anonths-all in each
club of ten or more to pay in ad-
vance and all in each club to COM
mence and end at the same time
Of course we can only make, bare
paying business, at this rate, but we
do it for the purpose of helping en-
tighten and arouse the people, hop
ing thus to increase the democratic
vote. aa q. SN
Each township should have It's
central committee and its democratic
association, and appoint active, re-
liable committees for each school
district. And the school district
committees should see that clubs
are raised to supply every family
with a paper. The money must al
ways accompany the order, as no
papers will be sent until the money
is received. Direct letters to

Who is Governor Z?

The report, in another column, of the
proceedings Of the Supreme Court of
Appeals on yesterday contains the deci-
sion of that learned tribunal upon the dis
puted question as to whether the present
incumbent is the constitutional Governor
Of Virginia. The decision is Just what we
had expected it to be. 1t is satisfactory
to know that the Executive acts are not
hereafter to be questioned upon the ground
that he is not Governor at all. A contrary
decision might have caused much trouble
and general vacation Of the Offices Of the
State.
1t is an interesting fact, which may be
mentioned in this connection, that Judge
MoNcURE was a member Of the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1850 and chairman o.
the committee which reported the section
under which Governor PE1KPo1NT holds
over. It may therefore be presumed thai
his opinion corresponds with the intention
of that committee and of the Convention.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-01-16
An Interesting Fact.

We learn from the Gallipolis (Ohio)
Dispatch that the Peytona Camel Goa
Mining Company has twenty-three barges
Of superior camel coal lying in the Ohio
river at Point Pleasant (mouth of the
Kanawha) waiting tow. Sirty-sir thou.
sand bushels Of this coal goes to Neoo Torh
uia Neao Orleans.
This coal will sell in New York at $40
to $22 per ton. 1t could be delivered in
Richmond at cost of So to $40 per ton by
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. 1t is
easy to see what trade in Kanawha coal
would spring up in this city were that road
built. The western newspapers would be
fruitful study for our people. They
would derive reasonable appreciation OF
the immense resources Of the Ohio valley
and the great activity of the people there.
Their eyes would often fall upon such
paragraphs as that we quote above, show
ing the Importance of the direct commu-
nication from Richmond, passing over the
very mines which yield this coal, now
destined for New York Via New Orleans.
Thirty-ive hundred miles by that route,
and only eight hundred by Richmond.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-01-16
Inhammatorv Appeal.

The National lnteligencer of yesterday
makes an excited appeal to the northern
people to rise and protect their liberties
from the usurpations of Congress. The
exigency of the national institutions is very
great; but an appeal like this, we appre-
bend, is disproportioned to the public
sense Of danger, if the apathy Of the pub
lie mind can be inferred from the passive
state OF northern society. The article be-
gins: " People of the North, are YOU
Free? Arise aud speak /" It concludes
thus: "Gather in every hamlet in the
"land, from EaStport to Astoria, and send
up to Heaven the shout Of your indigaa-
"tion. The winding-sheet Of your free
" dom is woven, and its coffin made. Shall
sit die and be- buried?"
1t would be all the better for the Union
if the public mind had gotten up to the
height Of this sort Of argument.
