Is THE CITY couE IL BLINDi
BIOckaded streets and Bayous
without Bridges.

Has the City Council sore eyes, or is it
so blind that it can't see beyond the old
corporate limits? Does it expect people,
in these hard times, to pay taxes for
twaddle2 .
When John Toof aud Martin Kelly
represented the Seventh Ward, they had
Madison street opened from the Pigeon
roost road to Orleans street, and the
fright Of way" granted as far out as
Brinkley avenue. Since their terms ex-
PRED nothing in the way of public inn
provement in this Ward has been done.
Madison extended looks now as if it had
been upheaved by an earthquake, with
cascades of mud running down clay
banks into chasms Of mud beneath. The
street is blockaded between Orleans and
Brinkley avenue; so there is no connec.
ton between it and Henry avenue. Even
on Henry avenue, in the Tenth Ward,
there's only log across the bayou where
there ought to be bridge. A horse and
wagon tumbled into this bayou few
weeks ago. The horse was killed and
the wagon smashed. A person travelling
near this place at night runs risk of
losing his life; even in daytime it's not
easy to cross a narrow, slippery log On
Union avenue, where there's so much
travel, the little bridge in the hollow east
Of Blind Johns residence is loose and
shaky. While twas uader Squire Red
ford's control it was always in good order,
but the Street Commissioner totally neg
lects it. Will the City Council take a
pinch of snuff, rub the cobwebs from its
eyes, and look after streets and bridges
in the new Wards2

s.The Flrst Grant Club.,
Editors Inteltigencer:

hGIbOTS 1HteLEtgeHceF
In your paper of to-day 1t is an
nounced that the first Grant Club was
organized in the town of Mannington
on the 25th inst. This club may be the
first in that town or county, but when
it is further stated that Mannington
'carries off the horns," meaning that
it has been the first to step into the lines
of Grant Clubs for West Virginia, we
must be allowed to correct an error.
So far as heard from Parkersburg Justly
claims that honor. A meeting for or
Ranizing a Grant Club was held in Par
kersburg on Feb. 1st, and adjourned to
meet again on the Sd inst. at that
meeting an organization was effected
with Gen. s. ID. Karns President, and a
committee of the former meeting re-
ported a series of resolutions which
were unanimously adopted and pub.
lished in the Palkers burg Daily Times
of the 4th inst. The committee TO select
permanent officers of the club was
VIM. Dnls, John A. Hutchinson, Jr.,
Charles Murphy, John w. Cofman and
w. x. Farrell. With no disposition to
detract from the merits OF Mannington,
we simply desire to put Parkersburg
right, and to add the hope that our
State Central Committee at an early
day will recommend, and that Union
men in every township in the State
will proceed at once to organize Grant
Clubs. Push on the column.
Yours, &C., PARKERsBURa.

- zGz- WHEELING WEST VA. SATURDAY. MORNING r

command at Cheat Mountain. Lieut..
Clarke presented the claim at Wash.
ington, and although 1t was fully
established and proved by Gen. Rey-
nolds as being proper and just, yet un-
der the regulations, 1t could not be paid
without special legislation because
there was not an express agreement
that in caseof Clarke's capture he should
be paid for the time he might be inn
prisoned. The case is peculiarly one
for the interposition of Congress and
we have no doubt the relief asked will
be granted.
We have been led thus to refer to this
case by observing In the Globe the pre-
sentiment of Mrs. Clarke's petition; and
having during Lit. Clarke's lifetime en-
joyed:his personal friendship, and been
somewhat familiar with his history
during the rebellion, we have been
tempted to commit to paper this outline
of what we regard as an interesting
case. West Virginia had no braver
nor more unselfish son in the service
than the subject of this sketch. His
long imprisonment was the result of
his generous surrender (when he sup
posed his life would be the forfeit) to
save the life of his friend; and it is no
more than just to that friend to say
that he has ever since manifested the
warmest gratitude in services and at
tentions to the bereaved family of the
deceased.
