sa- In March, 1866, gold was selling in
New York at l24. After more than two
years of peace it is now selling at lat, or
about % per cent higher. Thus Radical
rule has, in two years, reduced the value Of
the greenbacks, the currency which the
soldier is paid his pension in and the labor
ing man receives for his pay, from eighty
cents on the dollar until it is now worth on
lg sixty eight cents on the dollar.

The alleged conversation with Mr..
ADAMS of Massachusetts,, given in our
tslegraphic columns this morning, is
clearly a canard. 1t bears no response
BILE name, does not even state who is
the party with whom Mr.. ADAMS should
have conversed, but is ridiculously
anonymous and mythical. Knowing
how shamefully the telegraph lines are
now being used in the interest of Radi-
calism, and feeling satisfied that no
candidate for q high position would,
under any circumstances, express the
sentiments concerning his party which
are thus attributed to Mr. ADAMS, we
have no hesitation in stamping the
whole story as a monstrous fraud. The
opinions uttered relative to the Seuth
are merely thrown in to gain circuLa-
tion and credence for the remainder OF
the stroy. 1t is unworthy ef belief
upon its very face, asd We Therefore
pronounce it prodigious fabrication.

Editors Of the Register:
The Democracy of Taylor feel that

mighty tribunal, the Board of Regis
tration, to have stricken from the reg
lister of voters every man Democrat Of
Course) who is obnoxious to same other
man of opposite politics (RadicaD
throughout this county. During the
first sittings of that Board parties in
various portions of the county found it
to suit their malicious purposes and
party prejudices in some secret manner
to forward to that august tribunal an
anonymous document purporting to be
a list of charges and specifications
against about one hundred and twenty
seven of our citizens, among whom were
some of the most prominent citizens of
the county, most of whom were charged
with completely in the rebellion. This,
however, was only pretext, because
to an unbiased mind it is evident that
the real intention must have been to
strike off a sufficient number of Demo
cratic votes to give the Radicals a ma
iority in the county, as they are quite
sanguine of keeping in the ascendancy
as long as they can, if not fairly then
by any other means at their control.
However the Board of Registr alton
acted honorably and fairly in most
cases when it was clearly shown that
charges against the individual were
made through personal malice. You
NAV form some idea of the magnitude
of this nefarious business when it took
that high tribunal the entire time set
anart by statute for the transaction OF
its business. Our people, of every po-
litical opinion, complain incessantly OF
heavy taxes-taxes, nothing but taxes.

change in the administration of the
state Government, leaving national

Work IN Barbour.
Editors of the Register:
For several days the Board of Regis
tration has been sitting in our county,
and from appearances were disposed to
do something nearer right than any of
the other Boards we have had hereto
fore in the county. Up to last evening
October 14th) one hundred who had
been notified were stricken off, while
sixty-eight were placed on the
voters list On the 18th a great num-
Der of cases were continued until the
18th, and the parties directed to attend
with their evidence at that time; but
late in the evening of the 14th dis
patch was received by the Board from
the little despot at Wheeling, as am
informed, directing the Board not to
transfer any voters from one township
to another, and in no case to reinstate
any person or voter who had heretofore
been stricken off by a former Board,
whereupon the Board picked up their
hats and adjourned at once. What an
outrage upon once free people. But a
day of deliverance will surely come.

[Cleveland Plain Dealer
HOraIiO Seymour mud His Chances
for PennsylVania.

The Radical majority in Pennsylva-
MIA will not, we think, exceed 5000,
and we doubt if it reaches that figure.
Our friends in Pennsylvania claim that
the Radical Know Nothing judges
cheated them in October out of ten
thousand legally naturalized votes,
which will be cast in November. Hora-
ito Seymour, too, is tCenty thousand rotes
stronger In Pennsylvania than were the
candidates on the Democratic State
ticket. The people of Pennsylvania re-
member the fact that he, as Governor of
New York, hurried his State troops into
Pennsylvania, and saved their Capital
from being taken and destroyed by the
rebel army. They owe him a debt of
gratitude which they will pay by voting
for him for President. In 1856, the De-
mocracy Of Pennsylvania carried that
State by only 2O0O majority, yet in No
vember their majority for Buchanan
was about 10000! There is no State in
the Union as uncertain as Pennsylva-
MIA, and the small Radical majority to
overcome can, and no doubt will be,
wiped out by the Democracy of the Key
