The Third Dis,rict Collector

It's a pity GRANT could not distribute
about ten thousand additional appoint
ments. Outside Of his ofice-holders,
there wouldn't be an Administration
party an inch long in the whole coun-
try. Speaking of MANN, GRANTS selcc.
tion for Collector of the Third District,
the Mason County Journal says:
His appointment gives general dissatis-
faction to all parties, it being generally
conceded that he has not the business
ability or intelligence to fill the office.
1t is considered very doubtful whether
he can give the bond required; as pru-
dent business men do not 90 en- the
bonds of officials when all the chances
of having to pay the amount for which
they are surety are so probable that they
amount to an almost certainty.
A captious, carpet-bag correspondent
Of the Monroe Republican, who processes
to be deeply interested in seeing the
pledges Of the party carried out, and a
system of retrenchment and reform in
augurated," but who, it must be added.
is a worthless and unsuccessful aspirant
himself, releases the feline by showing
that MANN procured this appointment
as reward for personal skullduggery in
etfecing WIrCHER'S nomination for
Congress. The c. c. c. further remarks
that MANN cannot write a letter in
even tolerably grammatical English
cannot add up three columns of figures
and has no single qualification for the
positiou,"

Mr. Campbell and the Times.

In its reply to the assault of the Par
kersburg Times upon A. W. CAMPBELL,
ESQ, the Iateligencer says:
Regarding the assertion that Mr..
Campbell used the columns of Demo
cratic papers, we leave the REGISTER,
which we presume is referred TO, to an
swer."
If what we have already said in rela-
tion to Mr.. CAMPBELL's fuse" of Demo-
cratic papers in the late Senatorial can
vass, be not a sufficient refuUation of the
small slander of the Times, We beg to add
that A. w. CAMPBELL, Esq., never
wrote, dictated or suggested single
line or idea for publication in the REG
IsTEK, in regard to the Senatorial ques-
ti0n or any other question, and that he
never procured anybody else to offer the
REGISTER any writing, dictation or sug-
gestion, upon the Senatorial question
or any other question. We believe
these propositions to be equally true of
every other Democratic paper in the
State, for in none of them have we ever
seen an article, paragraph or sentence
that would warrant any honest man,
editor or Senator, in writing, dictat-
ing, suggesting or publishing the charge
of the Parkersburg Times, which we
herewith dispose of.

Another nIaIcontenI.

Along with the rest of the "loyar
sheets, the Berkeley Union is sadly dis
grnntled. The source of its trouble is
the one quite common among the saints
of late, the partition of plunder. An
Assessor was recently appointed for the
Second District before any body in the
Unions end of the District knew there
was to be a vacancy. The bone was
snapped up before the Eastern Pan
Handle got ready to grab. And thus
the Union says:
If this is TO be the new and approved
method we will have mono of it, and
condemning the old method or that plan
that was in existence at the incoming of
the new administration, we will do our
best to write that condemnation with,
we hope, such an appreciation of just
right, and no intentional wrong to any
one, where the public cannot fail to
see it, and seeing, by their popular ver-
dict must and will condemn.

R.yaI,yntthc White Hou,.

GRANTS household is organized on a
regal basis. The arrangements for re-
ceiving visitors are well up to the high.
est European standard. The Philadel.
phis Press notes the manner in which
callers are received at the Imperial es,
tablishment and states the method in
which the favored ones may obtain ac-
cess to "the august presence of Majes'
ty." The Press says:
President Grant has a Grand ViZier. 1t
is General Dent, late of the Union army.
1t is the business of General Dent to re-
ceive all who seek the presence of the
President. When Andrew johnson was
Chief Executive, all those waiting for
an audience with power were left by
themselves to pass the long hours in
waiting. 1t is somewhat different now.
The large reception room over the front
of the East Room, is fitted up with ts-
bles, as we'll assofas and chairs; and all,
from the humblest to the highest, are
admitted to General Dents presence.
In the cosiest corner of this reception,

commands the uninterrupted view

mansion, may be found the broad, long
table at which General Dent sits, with
his accomplished assistants by his side.
General Dent is ia the meridian of life,
rather below the medium size, though
the rich, dark-blue military garb in
which he is eDcssed .diyerts the mind
from size altogether. Now add face
neither handsome nor plain, but be-
nign, good couDtenance, through which
the soul shines like fame through an
astral shade, and you have the picture
of the man through whose hands you
are to pass before you are consigned to
the august presence'of majesty.
But if, unfortunately, you are not
numbered among the royal relations,
are not rich, and worst of all have
been a Union soldier, you are looked
npon as lunatic if you insist upon
seeing the man whom your services
helped to elevate. If you persist in
your undertaking the royal brother-in-
law kicks ou,Ieuff3 you and gives you in
charge of the police. This is illustrated
by the "loyal" Press as follows:
About twelve o'clock to-day, William
B. Latelle, hailing from Newark, New
Jersey, entered the Executive Mansion
aud attempted to force an entrance into
the Presidents room. General Dent,
however, came up in time, seized and
tioored him, in which condition he was
tnrned over to the White House police
force, who escorted him to the Central
Station. He vehemently claimed to be
an old friend of the President and said
this morning he must see Grant. lie Is
aDeut twenty eight years of age, and
is evidently laboring man. During
the war he served as a private in the
Third Wisconsin Cavalry regiment. He
is undoubtedly lunatic, and will prob
ably be sent to the New Jersey asylum.
AS tho Press remarks, in ANDREW
JoHNsoN's day, or, indeed, in TIE day of
any President before him, nobody ever
received this sort of military reception
from General and his aids, in erich
military garb," who, now, for the first
time, lord it in the ante.chamber of the
White House.

Good and Bad Farm Stock.

There is no fact in agriculture more
fully established than that it will not
pay to keep poor stock, when it is pos.
sible to secure that of better quality.
A few years since the rage for Durham,
Alderney, Devon and other breeds of
cattle prevailed very extensively
throughout the country. Fabulous
prices were paid for superior animals
of these breeds, and there appeared to
be fair prospect ofsomething like re.
form in the matter of stock raising.
Like so many other movements
in agriculture, this spirit of i'm
provement has subsidized, and we
find our farmers relapsed into their
former apathy. Should this bei The
cost of keeping an inferior cow is pre-
cisely the same as that of better one.
A good horse will always command
better price in the market, or is more
valuable to its owner for its own pur-
poses than poor one. The cost of
keep is the same. Why not, then, raise
the best horsesi There are breeds of

Of sheep, poultry and, in fact, every
kind of farm stock, and yet we find
thousands of farmers, in the face of
these incontrovertible facts, arraying
themselves in steady hostility to all
movements having for their object the
Improvement Of domestic farm animals.
They cling to the inferior stock with
pertinacity that is surprising. In many
cases the secret of the matter is their
unwillingness to make the first invest

BURGLARY.-A daring burglary was
committed in Clarksburg on Wednesday
night, last week, at Jasper Moore's. Mr..
Moore had sold some property on that
day and was known to have received
some cash. Mr.. NJ. left home and his
wife and a servant girl were tho only
grown persons in the honse. About2
O'clock at night the servant girl, who
slept in the dining g-room, adjoining
Mrs. Moore's chamber, was reused by
some one in her room, whom she recOg-
nized by the light of the moon as being a
negro barber named Boyer. She sprang
up and ran into Mrs. Ms room, and gave
the alarm. Finding himself discovered
the burglar opened the door and passed
out. Entrance had been effected
through the window. Examination
proved that nothing had been carried off
by the burglar. The fre-shoVel was
found out of its proper place. doubtless
secured by the burglar for defence in
case of necessity. The house is isolated,
and the frightened occupants waited for
daylight to give the alarm. Investiga-
tion cast suspicion upon a colored boy
who served about the house and steps
were taken tor his and the barber's ar
rest. Before the warrant was secured,
however, both birds had flown, and have
not yet been found.
