WEST VIRGINIA..PROGRESS or
LIBERAL IDEAS.


From the Chicago Post (RspGOIieaa.)
A large number Of Republicans Of the
city OF Wheeling, West Virginia, have
united In an address to the people on
the subject Of removing political CiIsa~
bIlIties from the citizens OF that State
who participated in the rebellion, The
following extract from this document
is OF value as statement Of historical
truth and present opinion:
The people OF West Virginia, as the
people OF the other portions Of tie noun-
try lately In rebellion, are the beat
Judges or the time for the abolition OF
what Is here called "war legislation" -.
That legislation was In Its nature ex.
ceptIonal, and for temporary use. II
was undoubtedly an absolute necessity
Of the times. Nor Is 1t unnatural
that there should be differences
OF opinion as to the time when
The political disabilities may safely
be removed. This is a question OF fact,
and not OF prlnclple-for on the prinCI-
Pile we are all agreed-of which the peo-
pie directly interested must be suppos-
ed TO be the best able to decide. That
large proportion OF the Repu blICans
OF the Southern States think as these
Republicans OF Wheeling think, there
ls no doubt. That more would so think
but for the continued III conduct OF so
many old rebels, there Is no doubt,
either. II, therefore, liberal policies
do not prevail 80 generally In the South
as might be we'll, the fact Is owing 10
the bad habits and miserable course Of
conduct OF those who fought against the
Union. When they shall have learned
to behave themselves, and 10 become
good citizens, there will be no further
trouble. The liberal Ideas OF Republl-
cantsm will prevail, and the blessings
OF complete peace will visit all paris
OF the country.

Correspondence Ne1U York Post,
.. WAsHINoyoN, Sept. =.
The cable kilograms which reported
the discovery Of a muliny on the Sa.
bine at Cherbourg were true. The state
ment that seven OF the mutineers were
hanged was untrue. The frIgate Sa-
blne has been ordered home on account
Of this muttuous conspiracy among her
crew. .....
Three witnesses, sent by another YES
sel TO avoid being tampered With, have
arrived in Boston. There facts have
leaked out At the Navy Department
to- day.
The Sabine was on a fancy cruise
with a graduating class OF midshipmen,
some sixty odd In number. Her COM
mander Is Capt. Jehn G. Walker, u
nephew OF Senator James W. Grimes
OF Iowa. Secretary Borie and Admiral
Porter sent her out to please Senator
Grimes, though the midshipmen and
men were very much wanted In the
West India squadron, where vessels
are without sufficient crews.
None but sailors were engaged In the
conspiracy. The trial Is 10 take place
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard after the
arrival OF tie Sabine.
The former despatch asserted that a
desperate conspiracy had been dIscov-
cred on the Sabine, then lying In the
port OF Cherbourg. 1t IL stated that
some OF the crew, to revenge themselves
on the officers, attempted to set Are 10
the powder magazine, and to blow up
the ship. 1t Is also aHerred that the
conspirators had proceeded so far Ia
their designs as to light fuse commu-
nIcating with the magazine. The plot
was frustrated by cabin boy, who dis.
covered the burning fuse and put 1t out.
An investigation was made, and the
mutineers were arrested. The deSp
further said that twenty-five sailors
were implicated In the plot, and they
were placed In irons.
