A special dispatch from nashville 10
the Cincinnati Gazette (Radicsl and or
,.r Of the bankers and bondholders)
Gives All account Of the doings OF the
Tennessee Radical State Convention on
~. ODD. A letter was read to the Con-
vontiop from Governor BRowNLow, in
wb;cb he said: "If | were u member OF
~. Convention, i would endeavor to
have Incorporated in the platform the
following plank; That the bonds and
obligations Of the General Government
which do not expressly stipulate for
pavment in coin in the act authorizing
thair iSsusnce. or OH their face, should
be paid ia greenbGeks." Parson BROWN
LOW is one of that class of doctors Of
Divinity" whose aid ordinarily in any
cause is not very desirable or very con-
ducive to wholesome and successful re-
,ults. In this case, however, he ID likely
TO be of some account, as the Radicals
have made him United States Senator
and he will have avotc in legislation
by-and-by that will be Of some value.

Stupid Registrars.

Aft.r the Fall election we referred to
the numerous emissions of the names
of voters frem the books of the Regis
trars, which had then occdrred. We
mildly suggested that the Registration
officers should exercise such care in the
discharge of their duties, as would as
sure all voters that when they came to
the polls their names would not be miss
ing from the books.
We:rsgret 10 say that similar omis-
sions TO those occurring in the Fall were
discovered at the election Of Monday.
In the Third Ward for example, Messrs.
JOHN ZEoCKLER and W. W. SHRIvER,
were DISTINGUISHED without notice,
trial, or offence, through the ine1cus-
able negligence Of the Registrar for
Clay township. Both these gentlemen
offered TO vote and the ballots of both
were rejected because Mr.. HAMILTON,
the Registrar, had shown his incompe-
tency by omitting their names.
Such wrongs are intolerable. Mr..
ZEuCKLER is about the oldest adopted
citizen liz Ohio county. He is large
property holder, good citizen, and has
voted without question heretofore.
Whether it DC petty spite, stupidity or
carelessness that disfranchised him the
&C; is inexcusable, and the officer should
be held to account. In Mr. SuRTvER's
case, we presume, that the prescription
was not for opinions sake. We under
stand that he adheres to the Republican
party aud hence we infer that his disfran-
chiSement was the result of gross negli-
gence. At any rate. there is no excuse
for the wrong that has been done him,
aud if reparation can be had, it certainly
should be demanded.
Ia the First Ward we learn that the
names Of twenty-five Democrats, and
no Republicans, were omitted from the
lists. Language can't do justice to such
meanness. and submission is not TO be
Thought Of. Let remedies be sought or
made.

West Virginia Legislature.
TUESDAY, January q.
SENATE.

Mr.. DIX, the absent Senator, was
qualified.
A number OF resolutions were intro
duced, among which were the follow
ing:
That the committee on Internal I'm
provements inquire into the expediency
of the completion of line or lines of
railroad from the Chesapeake to the
Ohio river. Agreed to.
That the Judiciary committee inquire
into the expediency of locating per
manent seat OF government for this
State. Agreed to.
That the committee on Internal lm-
prOvements inquire into the expediency
of requiring the owners of mills in
Wetzel county 20 make slopes in daHs.
Agreed to.
Mr.. HOKE, on leave, introduced bill
for fixing the rates of interest. Laid on
the table.
Mr.. WILSON, on leave, introduced Q
bill providing for taxes on licenses.
Rules suspended and bill referred to
committee on Finance.

pany to repair and macadamize their
road was read second time and refer
red to the committee on Internal lm-

Jurors, as reported from the committee
on Judiciary, was taken up. The bill
provides that every person who shall
serve upon Grand Jury shall be enti-
tied to receive.Sl 00per day and mileage,
same as witnesses in civil suits.
Mr.. H0KE said he was in favor OF
amending tho bill by inserting 81 so in
stead ofSl 00. He said he knew of many
instances where the pay now received
was inadequate to the current expenses
of jurymen in attending court, and
hoped his amendment would be ac-
cepted.
MIR. ZINN thought that the increase
of pay by mileage would be amply suf-
fcient for bearing the expenses Of
Jurors.
Mr.. FARNSWORTH thought the
amendment was very good one if the
mileage was left off; and that he would
vote for its passage, as amended by Mr.
HOKE, if his amendment striking ont
the word mileage be accepted.
On motion Of Mr.. CHAPLlNE the bill
was recommitted to the Judiciary COM
mittee.

road Company was read and laid on the

The Cempromised Position Of Geu
cral Grant.

The NatorGl IRtelhgeRcer has, upon
the authority of the President, charged,
and reiterated the charge, that General
GRANT violated his repeatedly plighted
word in the matter of yielding up the
War Office to STANTON as he did. 1t
has charged that GRANT admitted his
violation of his word in the presence Of
the Cabinet. Aud it has detied author
itative contradiction. No such contra
diction has been made.
A number Of the newspaper penny-a-
liners at Washington in the employ Of
Radical prints have put forth denials
in their usual style, but not one of them
has pretended that he had the authority
of GRANT. One of them with little
more assurance than the rest, dispatch
rap, "pronounces untrue the statements
relative to the alleged agreement be-
tweea the President and General GRANT,
GRd challenge any member Of the Cabinet
0cer his OTH signature 10 pronounce them
t"e." These Radical penny-a-liners, or
at least the papers for which they write,
ought to know that the reading public
cannot be deceived by this brassy sort
Oftactics. The President, through his
accredited organ, has made a charge
against General GRANT involving
his character AS a gentleman and q
man Of truth.
The standing of the sccuser aud
the nature of the accusation
are such that no amount of bluster
on the part Of Washington scribblers,
and no "reticence" of the accused, will
avail to viudicate General GRANT. He
is placed in such a position that he
must either himself deny the accusa-
tion, or by silence acquiesce in its cor
rectness and force. 1t is sincerely to be
regretted that General GRANT, of whom
as soldier the people have thought so
we'll, should occupy such humiliating
position. But it is idle to attempt to
to gainsay the truth that he doss occupy
1t. And We have no doubt he was be-
trayed into it by following the advice of
WAsHsURNE aud other unprincipled
politicians rather than by acting upon
his own convictions of right and
duty. The fact that he is so easily
changed in purpose and led by others
simply goes to show that however great
may have been his merits as soldier,

A Case of youthful Female DeprREitl

Yesterday afternoon q respe6taDie
gentleman residing in Lawrencevines
whose name for obvious reasons we ip!-
bear to mention, applied at the Mayors
office for assistance in his efforts to dlssi
cover the whereabouts of an ONLY
daughter, aged not above fifteen year,,
who few weeks ago mysteriously dlsS
appeared from her home. Ciroum-
stances came to tho knowledge or tne
girls parents few days ago which iee

kept by an equally notorious: old p1Qf
curess yclept Mrs. Brawdy. With tliss
information in their possession, the po7
lice made descent upon the BraWuys
establishment, and succeeded in hnd3ngl
the person whom they sought. Sheuasi
placed in the lookup, where she awaits
the action of the authorities, who az che
instance of the father will to-day conf
nit her to the House of Refuge. Ac-
cording to report the yo1ng girl ex-
changed for the infamous den wherepls-
covered, home where peace and plenty
abouuded; and nothing short of an utter
deprivation of both heart and mind
could have prompted such q step. Nhe
too oft repeated tale of mans betrayal
is not in this instance related to mil-
gate the shame of this youthful, comeiy,-
but we may add, hopelessly, abandsnea

facts, that this is case of total deplAY-
ity upon the part of the unfortupete,
misguided girl, and that she will eler.

A term in the House of Refuge may for
a time check career of infamy, ana

There is one thing, however, taet
may be aptly said just here; and ~ -
this: The existence in civilized e0m-
munity of house like that maptainedi
by the notorious Brawdy whose 4cry
name is the synonym of all that is. eyilsl
and whose pestiferous den affords 4el-
ter to more vice, perhaps, than any
similar establishment in the city sia .

whose duty it is to maintain ordeN and
look after the moral welfare of theSeity.
