THE CAMPAIGN.
Monongalia County on Fire
5000 OF her People in Council.
GREAT ENTHUSI SIASM

Wednesday, August 9th, 1868, will
long be remembered as day of jubilee
among the Constitution loving Denoc-
racy of Monongalia. The immense con-
assemblage of our citizens since 1S4O.
eonrse of people exceeded in number any
The procession was mile and half
long, and numbered full five hundred,
all upon horseback, in wagons and
buggies. The enthusiasm during the en-
tire march and day was immense be-
yond anything We have witnessed for
years. and as the procession passed un-
der the beautiful banner bearing the
names of Seymour and Blair, suspended
in front of the Democratic Club Room,
the cheering was deafening. Old men
who have taken no part in politics for
many years, and whose years have
reached beyond four score, raised their
hats and gave voice to the impulses of
their patriotic hearts.
Col. Evans, with a few appropriate
remarks, introduced Hon. Montgomery
Blair to the large concourse of eager
people. We do not remember to have
witnessed, under all the circumstances,
more wrapped attention given an orator
than the able and eloquent address of
the honorable gentleman received.
Mr.. Blair spoke for two hours and a
half, calling forth frequent bursts of
applause. He was followed by Joseph
w. Parker, ESQ.,, of Wheeling, in one of
tle most eloquent and scathing ar

A PET of Gold.

Thomas Kelly died rich. He had
mined in this region since 1882, and had
often struck lodes that yielded fabulous
amounts of mineral, which he disposed
of at the highest market prices. He
lived in various huts constructed by
himself, until his death, May Is, 1867,
each year becoming more and more n
hermit, and surrounding himself with
impenetrable mystery. And so it hap
pened that when he died, unexpectedly
and almost alone, there was a general
belief that he had thousands of dollars
in gold and silver, the only kind of
money he would ever receive, hidden in
his bluff.
About ten o'clock yesterday morning
small boy, the son of John Fortune,
accompanied his father to the Kelly
mines. While the father was digging
for lead ore, the boy, who had been
despatched to the residence of Platt
Smith, on some triAing erraud, discov-
cred near the rock house and contigu-
Gus to the old Kelly shaft tin vessel
which had been buried beneath the sur
face but washed party bare by the late
severe rains. The boy lifted the thing
and discovered tin can still below,
which, upon examination, turned ont
to be filled with gold coin, said coins
being English sovereigns and American
$50 pieces, and amounting to the
goodly sum of $500. Elated with
his discovery the little boy screamed
to his father. The father by
some oversight screamed and notified
the heirs, and the latter, male and fe-
male, soon appeared upon tho ground,
and claimed the whole pile by virtue of
their consanguinity to the late deceas-
ed and lamented Thomas Kelly, for
whose demise they can never be sutfi-
eiently thankful. An apron was spread
upon the ground. Upon this the gilt
tering store was spread, while around
sluatted, huddled and clustered the ex-
pectaut heirs, while pro rata division
was made. This was concluded, and
one of the heirs had left for home,
when observant spectators of the whole
proceeding remarked that the boy For
tune was certainly entitled to a share
Of the money; and to him small triHe
was grudgingly given.

Hon. WILLIAM T.. STEVENSON is the
Radical candidate for Governor of West
Virginia. 1t will be remembered tnat
he was in this city during the campaign
of 1867, and that he delivered speech
here on the same day that Mckee, of
Kentucky, assured his hearers that
"loyap men could not live in his State
and that they would all be murdered if
tie Union party did not win the
victory; tho evening of the same day
that Ihayer, of Nebraska, after having
scardalOusly abused the President for
considerable time, suddenly remem-
bered that he was expected to ACT as
one of his Jurors at a future time,
and had therefore better not ex-
press any opinion about him;
on the evening of this day, and imme-
dately after the haTangue of the pious
Deacon Gray, Mr.. Stevenson made his
speech, and although he was preceded
10y intensely Radical gentlemen, and
followed by the negro orator, John NJ.
LangstOn, not one of these was more
clamorous for negro suffrage than this
same gentleman who is now stumping
the State Of West Virginia, asking the
people for their suffrages; aud who, ac-
cording to one of the speakers at the
meeting at Williamstown, last Satur-
day, now denies that he ever
favored the adoption of negro
suffrage or the success of the
Fourteenth amendment. But it won't
do. Mr.. Would-b be Governor. There
were too many men in that audience
who have fancy for remembering
such things to make denial on your
part at all plausible Besides, every
body who knows anything about the
matter knows that you would never
have been invited to addtess the "loy-
al" people of this goodly city of of Ma
rietta, who delight TO honor their "col-
ored BRETHREN" had you not been bold
and outspokeu in favor of the enfran-
chisement of the negro. Marietta

Revenue.

The case of the Richmond Collector
ship of Internal Revenue affords beau
tiful illustration of the workings of the
laws enacted By the Radicals to spite
the President of their OWE choosing
and to destroy the proper and constitu-
tional powers of the Executive. Some
months ago John II. Anderson, Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue in the Fourth
District of Virginia, was suspended by
tn. President for corruption in office.
A successor TO Anderson was nominated
TO the Senate aud the charges up
on which the suspension were found
ed accompanied the nomination. The
Senate refused TO act for several months:
meantime anderson Was indicted aud found
1uiltg on these same Charge and sent TO
the Penitentidry. Some time after the
Senate rejected the nomination of An
derson's successor. but cOncurred 10 the
suspension of Anderson. Thereby, un-

Another Case OF Legalized Repudia
tion

The Cleveland Plaiadedler states
another case of repudiation legalized by
Radical law that occurred in that city
In 1861 poor man, having by hard
labor accumulated four hundred dollars
in coin, and desiring to deposit it in q
safe place, took it to bankisg house in
that city, and received for it certiti'
cate of deposit, of which the following
is a copy:

In 1862, having occasion to use the
money, he presented his certificate at

ed out to him. Supposing the banker
had made mistake, he called his at
tention tot he fact that his certificate
was for a coin deposit, and was payable
in like funds" The astonished de-
positor was coolly informed that "Con-
greSs had passed law making paper
money legal tender in payment of
debts" Not being able to appreciate
what he supposed to be rascality on
the part of the banker, he brought
suit and the case was tried before
Judge Foote, the present Radical candi-
date for Judge in the Cleveland dis
trict, who decided that under this Radi-
cal law of Congress he must take four
hundred dollars and interest in green
backs for his coin deposit, which was at
that time worth fire hundred and tlceRfy-
fire dollars, and pay all the costs. 1t
will be borne in mind that the samo
law which authorizes this kind of
also provides for the issuing
of $50 bonds, that the Radical platform
and the Radical leaders say must be
paid in gold.
