In almost all the States the ratifica-
tion of the XVth Amendment has been
effected in well-known opposition to
the will of the people. Massachusetts,,
Minnesota and Maine are the only States
where this measure has been endorsed
by the Legislature in which it weuld not
have been rejected by the people, New
York, Pennsylvania and other States
like Michigan, have all disapproved OF
negro suffrage by heavy majorities
This is Radical regard for the will OF
the people. They are for a strong gov

Paper Houses.

An extraordinary and important ust
for paper has been found in Chicago
where its utility as building materia
has been recently tested, and fairly es
taollshed. This building paper ol

IN consistency, compactness, and solidi

TO pressure of hundreds of tons, which
squeezes out the liquid matter, leaving

From Cranberry summit

CRANBERRY SUMMIT, June 5, 1869.
Editors of the Register:
1t is surprising how little one knows
of ones country until he goes away
from home. To find out what is going
on, even under his own nose, as you
may say, a person must travel as did
the old gentleman who, in the days Of
yore, journeyed all the way from Har.
rison county to Morgantown, and when
he returned declared he "didn't know
the United States leaS so big." Skim.
ming over the country on railroad
train gives one no sort of au idea of what
is going on in it.
For instance, | spent twenty-fOur
hours the otherday at Cranberry SUM
nit, Preston county. | had passed
there at least dozen times before on
the cars, but did not know that it was
town bOasting of seven stores, three
churches and any number of tayeTus-l

and that it aspired to being site of jus.

the place or its location misnomer (;
but such is the fact.

been a project to divide the county of

date those persons living on the railroad
better than going to Kingwood to at
tend Court-that the proposed new
county would contain 400 square miles
and one-half of the inhabitants of the
present county of Preston. All this
may be true, but would the people of
the west side of the river be willing to
be cut off from so thriving n part of
their present county,
Leaving these local questions to be
decided by those most interested in
them, | will only bear witness to the
fact that Cranberry Summit is a four
ishing place. There are several more
buildings being erected here. am
told that twenty five were built last
summer anu JuaJ many more arc III
contemplation this summer.
One of the great sources of business
in this town is the manufacture of
"shooks" For fear that many of your
readers may be as ignorant of what q
"shOok" is as | was yesterday, | will
explain by telling them that it is num-
Der of slaves required to make sugar
hogshead or mOlasses barrel, which are
all properly iointed and fitted
ready to be put up, and then bundled
together and shipped to baltimore
thence to Cuba and market. One
hundred thousand of these "shooks"
have been annually sent from this place.
Heretofore they have commanded about
$3.50 apiece, but the present domestic
differences" in Cuba have injured the
market for them.
Those visiting Cranberry Summit the
second time always stop at the Summit
House, near the depot, kept by w. w.

intelligent, reliable man-keeps good

'Prsviding for Relatives.

There is now scarcely living man
related by blood or marriage to the
President who is not provided for at
the public charge. They have all rushed
hungrily to the public crib. Rebel or
Union man, old Democrat or old Abo-
litionist, all who have relationship or
fellowship to any branch of the GRANTS
sr the DENTS are sure to get office. A
curious person has made list OF
the emoluments of all the various
members of the royal family in
England, and published it side by side
with list of the,spoils that have fallen
to the ruling family here. 1t is quite
an instructive and entirely novel docu-
ment. It could not have been complied
in the term of Office of any other Ameri-
can President. There never before was
one who did not declare his utter re.
pugnanee to putting his relations in
office. History preserves the fact, be.
cause human nature was the same then
as now, and the relatives did ask for
ofice-the difference is they trere refused.

"President Grant and Mr.. Borie ar

They are we'll pleased with their little

Cuba.

Cuba has no regular government of
any sort DULcE has gone; the regulars
who supported him Gnd the volunteer
who forced him to resign are clamoring
among themselves for control, and
Spanish authority in the Ever Faith
ful Isle" is rapidly going to the bow
vows. The volunteers are willing to
establish a temporary, or provisional
sort of Government, until the new Cap
tain General, De RoDA, arrives, but the
regulars oppose the ides, and style it
usurpation. While the "loyal" factions
are thus occupied in lighting each other,
the cause of the insurgent Cubans
seems likely to have free course and be
glorifed.

Fair Proof.

A fair proof of the negro's capacity
for self-government was furnished by
the late municipal election at Washing
ton. The Washington darkey is not
satisfied with his own vote, used fire.
quently during a single election, but he
must also control the vote of his fellow
darkey, using for that purpose such gen.
tie appliances as razors, clubs, pistols
and paving stones. A few more cleo
tions like that at Washington, on Mon
day, may possibly give the country a
surfeit of negro suffrage, and comnol the
conclusion that this black Joke has been
carried little too far.

The following letter from the office of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
was recently received by Assessor Weld
rich, of Buffalo: .tta
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
WASHINGTON, May 6, 1869.
"Sr:-In your letter of May you
asked the following question: Are per-
sons travelling from place to place, SELL
ing cigars by sample, required to take
out license both as peddlers and deal
ers in tobaccof
"In answer ] have to say that deal
er In tobacco is person whose business
it is to sell or offer for sale manufactured
tobacco, snuff or cigars. A person,
therefore, whose business it is to sell,
or offer for sale, cigars, is regarded as q
dealer in tobacco, and if his annual sales
exceed 500 he is liable to a special tax
as such.
"a peddlGr is a person who travels
from place to place selling goods; per-
son, therefore, whe peddles cigars is not
only a dealer in tobacco, but also ped.
dler, and is consequently liable to the
special taxes imposed upon both. a
person, however, who is simply the
agent of manufacturer or dealer, and
wko travels as such, taking with him
samples Of cigars, which he does not
sell, but upon which he solicits orders
for his employer, from whom he receives
a stipulated salary, is not regarded rs
peddler or dealer in tobacco.
