Ed. Crescent-I find in DR.. Newman's Advo
cate, of the 2Sth ult., what purports to be the
ritual of a secret organization known as the
Knights of the White Camea." II this expose
be truthful one, and the parsons object was
to weaken the organization, be has most sigually
failed. There is nothing in the ritual, as pub
lshed, 10 which any man can reasonably object
who believes in the superiority of his race. and
who woud guard it against the degrading results
that would flow from political and social equality
with the negro. Judging from the expose, can
discover nothing that debars those who may de-
sire to do so from placing themselves upon an
equality with the negro or African race.
But did not set out with the intention of dis.
cussing the merits Of the ritual of the Knights of
the White Camelia." or the objects Of the organ
ization. My object was to question the honesiy
and morality of the means by which the ritual Of
q secret organization was obtained. If the
Knights of the White Cames is a secret organi-
zation the members must necessarily be sworn TO
secresy. That being the case, knowledge of
VA q 9Ss iSs Be ostsned bT means Of
perjury on the part of member. For any man
who violates an obligation voluntarily TAKEN is as
guilty of perjury as though he had deliberately
testified TO what is false in court of Justice with
his hand upon the Bible. Aad such man would
be unworthy Of belief on spy question in which
self or party interest was involved. And to nv
notion, the man or set Of men who retail Informs.
ton thus obtained, for base party purposes il no
more worthy of credence than he who committed
the perjury. The ignorant and prejudiced aone
are Influenced by such dishonorable means. No
organization has ever been injured by periary, and
the rarson will find that he has strengthened in
stead of weakened the Knights of the White Ca
meia, II such an order exists, by his dishonorable
Efforts to bring It into disrepute. WHITE MAN.
Messrs. Meyer, Kouwitz & Co., wholesale and
retail furniture dealers, seem determined to fill to
its utmost capacity their extensive establishment,
No. 43 Royal street. Their latest receipts from
Northern markets have been composed principally
of general assortment Of Office furniture, hair
and cane-seat chairs, together with neat and
tasty selection Of camp stools, at all prices.
Their assortment of general goods now on
hand is, we have no doubt, the largest in the
Southern market, and as far as manufacturing
skill extends, 'twould be difficult to surpsss the
exquisite workmanship of their finest articles.
Mr.. Meyer, a member of the firm, is their princi-
pal salesman, and this courteous gentleman will
be always happy to exhibit his stock to all city
and country purchasers

THE CALLERS.
Morn calleth fondly to fair boy straying
In golden meadows rich with clover dew;
She calls, but still he thinks of naught save
playing,
And so she smiles and waves MIN an adieu;
While he, still merry with his fowery store,
Dreams not that Morn, sweet Morn, returns no
more.
Noon cometh, but the boy to manhood growing,
Heeds not the time, he sees but one sweet form;
One young, fair face from bower of jessam;ne
blowing,
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm.
So Noon, UNDECIDED, seeks the western shore,
And man forgets that Noon returns no more.
Night tappeth gently at easement cleaning
With the thin freight, Pickering faint and low,
By which gray-haired man IL sadly dreaming
O'er pleasures gone, as all life's pleasures go !;
She calls him TO her, and he leaves bis door,
Silent and dark, and he returns no more.

Ed. Oescent-Some years ago. while abiding in
quiet nook on one of the Hawaiian Islands, |
received an Albany Evening Journal, in a cor.
ner of which appeared the two following bsauti-
ful efusions. have never seen them elsewhere
in print, and now write them from memory. The
former" The Callers''-was anonymous, and had
ELECTED The Response" from the ready pen of
that gifted actress and autboress, Charlotte
Barnes, afterwards Mrs. Conner. If you think them
worthy of reproduction in your Sunday paper,
and thereby choose to intimate that other gems,
unfamiliar to the general readers, exhumed from
the storehouse of a retentive memory, may occa-
sienslly be acceptable. you are welcome to these,
and may look for others, with, however, no obIi
cation to regard them otherwise than as gratuitous
contributions toward the qualification of those
who prize lost pearls recovered. KASAEA.

= ,be House yesterday, the propriety
,f paying the comnissiOher ,issiO of lmmi-
lion a salary of $4,000 was eonsid-
I'd At leugth. Upon the one hand it
' hold that the services of paid
- were needed to induce immi-
o,-,,r cunts to settle in West Virginia. Upon
otber hand it was held that the OBJ
Il. n an influx of foreign pOpula-
,.n was not the absence of a paid
.Dt 10 represent our interests, but
oxis,ence of certain and sundry
-, .,-ss in our State policy, which are
:, o,tractivs to outsiders.
DU1 w. concur with the latter view. If
,,r proscriptivo system is to continue,
naid olieials however industrious
- attact immigrants to West Virgin
!. People from abroad are not going
,no1 lands, however cheap, that are
10 faxed to support our present style

ssr II is nothing to the point that
such proclamation is untrue. Foreign
A., ar. not aware that partisan false
hood usnrps the place of honest truth in

,hey accept those declarations as facts.
To no purpose then would we pay one

in frightening them away, aud whilt
opr les Station betokens just such an
ll,beral and despotic spirit as foreign

The following preamble and resOlu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We view with alarm the
encroachments of the dominant party
both in the Congress ofthe Nation and
the Legislature of the State; and
WHEREAS, We believe the time has
come for prompt, active and energetic
action ard the organization of all who
are opposed to Radical misrule, therefore
be it I'd .-...

the "platform" of principles as set forth
in the address adopted at the city Of
Wheeling, January Sth, 1865.
ResOlrea, That we are in favor of q
peaceable solution of all the political
difficulties now agitating the public;
that the courts and the ballot-box are
the proper and only safe means TO be
used; that for this purpose the former
should be untrammeled, and the latter
should be kept pure and free to all who,
under the Constitution, are entitled to
the elective franchise.
ResOlred, That when any patty seek
by unjust, unequal, uurighteous aud
iniquitOus legislation to deprive por-
tion of our fellow citizens of their
vested rights, or by odious and unjust
registration acts seek 10 perpetuate
their own power, it is the right, II is the
duty of all good citizens, regardless of
past party association, 10 prevent it.
ReSOlred, That we are unalterable ap-
posed to negro suffrage or negro citi-
zeDship, and view with alarm the ef-
forts now being made by finatical
Congress to fastcn upon portion of
our country government tyTannical in
form, inlquitous in fact and unequalled
in the history ol unwise and pernicious
legislation.
Resolred, That we sympathise with
Andrew Johnson in his efforts to uphold
the Constitution and Laws, and that he
will be sustained by the patriotic Of all
parties.
Resolrod, That we will use all honor
able means to secure the triumph of
Democratic and Conservative princi-
pies; that Wetze! county, as ever, will
present an unbroken front.

The Mtellgencer has taken week to
mature the profound argument that be-
canse one Democratic member of the
legislature was present at the Conven-
tiol at Moundsville on the 22d ult.,
therefore the Radical members WHO
drew $3.50 per day each for their services
in the State Convention on the same day
are without guilt and blameless. We
ssy zone Democratic meAber," because
there was bm one such at the Mounds
vile Convention, the IntelIigencer to the
contrary notwithstanding.
To relieve the mind of our cOtempo-
rarv. who has been so vigorously pros
Drctng for mares nest, we will state
that the Democrat in question, devoted
the greater part of the 22d, TO his duties
AZ one of the Committee to investigate
matters in connection with the Pcni-
tertiary at MOundsville, and his minor
its report shows that his time was not
mis.applied. Had other members of
that Committee, instead of pOwwowing
over Radical politics, initiated lis eX-
alaple, the white washing report which
was Yesterday tabled i'll the House
might not have come forth, to attest
their negligence and haste, ana to sng-
gpst remarkable anxiety TO shirk an
ugly duty.
We think little reflection would
have saved our neighbor from the folly
into which he has fallen, by COM
planning that Saturdays House
proceedings were reported for the
REGISTER by Democratic mem
ber. Our ncighbor might have remem
bered that certain Radical official con-
nrcted with the Legislature not only
reported the proceedings for certain
journals, but was paid for them, rs we'll
as for his official services. Whether the
time spent in making up such report
vas loss which the State had to sup
ply through the employment Of extra
clerks, We shall not undertake to say.
Need VIC also remind our cotemporary
that the gentleman to whom he so kind
ly refers has voied upon every bill yet
passed by the House, and has appeared
at his post with as much regularity as
any other member Need We also sug-
sesi that in attempting trick to defend
tho Radicals in the Legislature for de-
voting the time for which the public
pays to party uses, he has only shown
the Weakness of his case and acknowl-
edged that the action in question re-
qnlres explanation and apology

In consideration of the above facts,
elected from only partial examina-
tion, we ask that this House order
further and more thorough iRvestiga-
tion and that this or some ether COM
mittee be authorized to employ
one OF more disiHterested stone
masOns to go and examine the
work and made their report to said
committee, and that good book keep
er be likewise employed to examine the
books, papers, &c, aud make a report
to said committee, and the said commit
tee be authorized to report as soon as
convenient 10 the extra session of this
House.
In the meantime this examination
should not prohibit an appropriation,
for we plainly see the absolute necessi-
ty of the work progressing as rapidly as
possible. o. G. CHASE,

and the so-called elephant would walk
over him on hands and feet, placing his
paws down with the utmost care, as if
he were afraid of msshing the boy, and
many other feats did Bolivar perform
much to the amusement of the specta-
tors. The young militia officer who
acted the elephants part so admirably
is the identical Colonel Young, now
Senator from the 9th district, and
from that day to this he has been
known in this community by the
title of "Young Bolivar" Mr. Edito.,
90 around to the State House and see
if the Senator still bears resemblance
to the elephant. In combustion we
would advise Young Bolivar" to retire
from the managerie where he is now ex-
hibiting, and return home. for the COED
people of Wheeling frequently see 'ele-
phants," and some much better per-
formers than lie is. The little boys are
exceedingly anxious to see the "show,"
so hurry up Bolivar.
