Gho.escnie Talk.

In view OF the Intelligencer's subser-
viency to Governor STEVENSON, the fol
lowing paragraph, from the editorial
columns of that paper of June oth, is
highly pertinent;
We have had
six years of undisputed and almost un-
limited power. Had it been used wise
ly-had the Legislature been filled with
men who appreciated the needs OF the
State and possessed the capacity to pro-
vide for them-hdd the GuJernatOrial
chair held man lchO spent mere thought
about hOU oar uRpeopled cildS could be jill
ed With intelligent settlers from abroad and
less about hOw the patronage under his con
troll could be dispensed so as to put him IN
the United States Senate-we might to.
day have had population enough from
the North TO enable us to make the
Government of the State Republican
without cudangering the supremacy OF
the Republican party. Butt all such
public purposes those six years were
wasted, and more people are each year
leaving the State for the West than are
coming into il from abroad.
What the Mtelligencer said a little
over four months ago with regard to
FOREMAN, is equally true concerning
STEVENSON. Who doubts that the
present Governor is using "the patron
age under his control so as
to put him in the United States Senate T.
And yet the Intelligencer is his apologlst
and defender. 1t fears to break with
him, lest his patronage may "be dis
pensed" SO as to head off the aspirations
of its peculiar pets. Has not the candl'
dacy of two of the Republican noml'
nees in this county stricter reference to
the United States Senate and Guber'
material chair than to the filling of "oul
anpeopled wilds' with intelligent
settlers 7"

Governing by Deputy.

We find the following article in the
Charlestown Spirit Of Jefferson of Octo-
Der 10th:
Under the registration law of West
Virginia, the Governor has the power OF
appointing the Boards of registration
for the different counties. The Cover
nor, under the law, and according to
the principles of our form of govern
ment, stands in the exact relation of an
agent and is as strongly bound by the
maxim delegatus non protest delegdre "a
delegate has no power to delegate,) as
an individual acting in mere private
capacity; and therefore, these appoint
meRts should be made by him, and not
by another through the delegation OF
his authority. But the Governor un-
doubtedly thinks otherwise, as he placed
in the hands of a candidate for the SEN
ate from this county, blank commits
sions for forming a Board of registra-
tion as emergency might require, by the
said candidate filling out the blanks.
They have been filled, we suppose, as
we are blessed with new Board. Who
says that West Virginia is not favored
with "the best government the world
ever saw I" A Governor, IN fact, at
Wheeling, and an acting Governor In
Jefferson county.
The first tive initials of the candi-
dates name referred to are George
Koonce.
All who want to register, 60 to George
Immediately. The ball is open.
And this is manner in which Governor
STEVENSON represents all the people of
the State. If to place the entire regis
tration power in the hands of a candi-
date, is not administering the law in a
partisan manner we confess our inability
to understand the meaning of such acts.
There has been great deal of Juggling
and double-d dealing in this Jefferson
county business. From the start the
Governor has permitted his action in
relation to that county to be controlled
by KooNCE and CHAPLlNE. Their OBJ
ject has to prevent an election in Jeffer-
son county. Governor STEVENSON has
helped them all he could, by appointing
their tools as registrars. AS soon as the
appointments would be made, the ap-
pointees, under the manipulation of
these, their managers, would resign,
and thus break mp the Beard. In this
way the Board was disorganized and re-
organized time and again, the Governor
persisting in re appointing one or more
of the disorganizers. Finally getting
tired of bis share of the game, the Gov
ernor, if our information be correct and
we have no reason to doubt it, hands
the whole business over to the proscrip.
tive candidate for Senate in Jefferson
county and virtually tells him to fix
things te suit himself.
A, the Governor has now an organ in
this city, we trust he will explain this
whole, Jefferson c0uaty affair from begin
ming to end. No doubt the Intellgencer
which claims to be exceedingly liberal,
will take pleasure in setting forth the
reasons that have induced him to play
into the hands of the Jefferson county
That paper should take
pleasure in giving satisfactory expla-
nation of the STEVENSON policy of gov
erniug by deputy.

Democratic Convention in Ritchic-
Resolutions and Nominations.

At meeting of the Democrats of
Ritchie county, ID. McGregor, Esq, was
called to the chair, and John S. Patton
chosen Secretary.
On motion, committee of three was
appointed by the chair to draft resolu-
tions, expressive of the sense of the
meeting. The committee reported the
following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
As it is apparent to every honest and
well meaning man, that the time has
come when the past political animosities
existing amongst us, as q people,
shonld and of right ought to be,
buried in one common grave, and that
we sh ould aim to have measures adopted
which will insure to each and every one
equal rights and equal privileges under
the Government in which we live. And
to this end we believe that as a matter
of right we can demand that certain
proscriptive laws now in force should
be repealed; therefore, be it resolved:
1st, That we are in favor of the
immediate repeal of the Teachers Law
yers' and Suitors' Test Oath.
I'd, That we are in favor of the imme-
" ~
lature of our State to. amend the Con-
stitution so that those now disfranchis
ed BY virtue of their participation in
the late rebellion may be reinstated to
all their Political rights, which they
had and enjoyed before the rebellion.
Sd, That we are in favor of the pass
age of law by which the Board of
registration shall be elected by the peo.
pie.
4th, That we, as the Democratic par
ty of Ritchie county in convention as
sembled, pledge ourselves that we will
support no man who will not endorse
these resolutions and vote to carry out
the same, and, also, to use his influence
and power to secure the object, ain and
intention of the same.
5th. That we pledge ourselves as a
party to use all just and honorable
means, not only TO secure the election OF
man who will openly declare to sup
port the above resolutions, but we will
use the same means to effect the defeat
of any one who is opposed to the same.
9th. That in demanding these rights
We do it upon the ground that the peo-
pie of other States who labored under
these disabilities have had them re-
moved, and upon the further grounds
that it is a well settled principle, which
has been acknowledged by all, that
taxation and representation ought to go
hand in hand.
The Convention then proceeded TO
nominate county ticket, and the fol-
/ lowing gentlemen were nominated by
acclamation: Representative, r. S.
Blair; Prosecuting Attorney, W. 3
Sands, of Parkersburg; County Superin-
tendent of Free Schools, D. 81. S. Hall.
Strother Golf, D. McGregor, N. NJ.
Hitchcock, r. S. Blair and Amos George,
were then elected as the County Execu-
tive Committee for the next ensuing
year. ~

The InteIIigencer's Opinion of the
ReRisfrntiou Law.

Registrntion Law.
In its issue of September 20, the In
telligencer in discussing prescription II
general talked pretty plainly about the
registration law. From its article Of
that date we quote as follows:
Then we deny the class of citizens de-
scribed, who are often among the largest
property holders in their counties, all
voice in the selection of their officers,
from highest to lowest, who levy the
taxes and control their disbursements.
And to enforce this exclusion we main
tain feature of registration which puts
the control of suffrage in the hands OF
irresponsible and sometimes unscrupu-
lous agents who do not always stop
with those who are excluded by law,
but who to crafty personal disiikes or
mercenary ends deprive Of the ballot men 9t
their oun political faith uho hare right
TO rote under the la,U. And the practical
operation of this restriction on suffrage in
many counties is to put the entire control Of
taxation, disbursement and representation
in the hands of one half one fourth, one
eighth, and eren less, of the tar paying
citizens of the county. Now these are
facts which we cannot ignore.
A month has just elapsed since the
Intelligencer spoke as above, and it not
only ignores" the "facts" detailed, but
it wants that state of things continued
by perpetuating the registration law in
its present shape. Every word we have
quoted concerning the operations of
that law, is true. What reason or pro-
priety can there be then in demanding
its continued enforcement And yet the
Intelligencer's candidates are pledged to
that very thing.

A Soldiers View.

Editors Of the Register:
Hon. Horace Greedy in his letter ac-
cepting the nomination for Comptroller
of New York, by the Republican Con-
vention, among other nonsense, says ::
"Four celered men from the township
adjoiaing mine, fell dead at the single
field of Olustee, fighting bravely for
freedom and their country; and now
their sons are denied voice in the
government of that country by the
efforts and votes of men who have no
more property and no better education
than they, and who took excellent care
never to risk their lives is defense of
the Union.
If there be one Union soldier-even
one-who votes to deny the right of
suffrage to the sons of those who fell
fighting for the life of the Republic,
| must beliere that he tras impelled to enlist
rather by lore Of bounty than lore Of coHn-
try"
'If you don't believe as l do, or vote
under my direction, then you were
bought by the trifling sum held out as o
bait by Government officials, to run
your chance of rebel bullets, bnt if you
are we'll under party training and the
Tribune lash, then you are SUPERFICIAL
and unmercenary."
The Interpretation is ours, but if what
Ii. G. has said does not amount to that
Interpretation, then the English Ian
,,o ,n paa6o tborpuub raviSinD
Now, Horace, a large majority of the
Union soldiers of '6l and '62 are bitterly
opposed to the Fifteenth Amendment
so-called. Do yon include "even one'
of those soldiers in your foolish accusa-
tionf The bouHty held out by the
Government in those days was one hun
dred dollars, on condition that the re-
cruit served tco gears from the date Of his
mastering into the service.
This prinCely sum, Horace says, repre-
sents all the patriotism contained in the
making mp of each soldier who fought
for the Union, Gas we at first believed,)
and not for the purpose of making ta,U-
girers of the Southern slaves.
No, Mr.. Greeley, the charge you make
has no just grounds, and has never been
entertained one moment in any brain
less crazy than your own. You must be
one of those who are sane on most sub
iects, but hopelessly mad on one or
more. The writer is soldier of '6l-2
and as sternly opposed to negro equality
(Which in many States amounts to negro
supremacy as you are ,cedded to your
old white hat and profane language.
In fact, we would be in favor of cur
failing the right of suffrage by making
intelligence a qualification, even among
white men, were it not for the fact that
sHch qualification would disfranchise
nearly the entire Republican party.

The MteIligencer wishes it distinctly
understood that its candidates for the
Legislature want no Democratic votes.
September Ist that paper, speaking of
Messrs. HUBBARD, CAMPBELL and others,
emphatically declares, "that they con-
template no affiliation or coalition with
the Democracy. This is movement
strictly within the Republican ranks"
The Democrats who are invoked to vote
for the Republican nominees, will re-
member this premature reputation OF
their assistance and govern themselves
accordingly.

A Pledge Redeemed.

A certain Reverend G. w. CARPENTER
has been nominated as the candidate OF

man who boasted that the Governor had
pledged him not to remove Doctor
CALDWELL, President of the Board OF
registration, without his (CARPENTER's)
consent. As CALDWELL still holds on 1t
is but fair to confess that in this in
stance, at least, the Governor has kept
his word.
