people overlooked end snubbed by his
Imperial Highness in his distribution
of plunder. The colored brother comes

in his hall day or two ago, and asked
him if he had declined the Hsyti Mis-

hadn't been allowed an opportunity to
decline. In overlooking the eminent
DOUGLASS for the obscure, not to say

liberty and civilization at the refined

Sunday Law.

Washington advices furnish sample
of Presidential piety. They say that
GRANT has made rule to receive no
calls on the Sabbath, and has forbidden
his Secretaries to bring him any letters
or kilograms, except they are on i'm
portant public business, in answer to
something he has called for. The coun-
try will rejoice to learn that on one
day of the week at least the President
will consider no propositions for an in
fernal journey, like that suggested by
Ross, whether rendered by word OF
mouth or through au epistOlary medi,
um. On Sunday, let us hope, the I'm
perial mind will be directed exclusively
to the contemplation of matters celes-
tial, and only on week days will he
deal with profane things, such as Ross
for example.

The luIeIIigencer md it's "Country
CoIemporary.o

CoIemPornry."
The ParkersbuTg Times disclaims any
desire to read the IntsIligencer ont of
the Republican party. 1t states it's po-
sitiou thus:
What we did object TO, and what We
object to still, is the article which the
Iatelliqencer copied from the REGISTER of
March 20, containing a vile and personal
attack upon Senator BOreman, not for
any vote he had cast as a Senator or any
act or acts as Governor, but impugning
his integrity, questioning his party feal-
ty and branding him as traitor in the
Republican camp. A single extract
| from that article reads as follows:
"He has made all he can out of the
Republican party he knows that the
Democrats are morally certain of con
trolling this State before six years. If
he is reelected it must be by Demo
cratic votes. As he cares nothing for
principle, and will sell any party for
place, the suspicion that he is ready to
make fair weather with the powers
that are to be in West Virginia is by no
means outrageous"
This was copied into the IRtelligencer
in full, and, in the absence of editorial
criticism or dissent, it was "dished mp"
to its readers as the Judgment of the
paper that published it.
We disclaim any idea of reading the
Intelligencer out of the party. We
rather like our slick haired friend who
does the "heavy" deeds for its columns.
He so reminds US of the noble Path
finder" of '56, who parted his hair in the
middle, and who received our maiden
vote, that We feel natural affinity and
sympathy for him. The endorsement of
the REGISTERS attacks against prom
inent Republican leader, may be in ac-
cordance with Republican doctrine, but

Republicans have been completely over
borne. The first apostles of secession,
the men who ten years ago were burn
ing the IHteldgeRcer, indicting men fol
circulating the Tribune, bounding stray
Yankee cloek-peddlars from the limits
OF the State, and narrowing the popular
soul with visions Of Abolition enormitY
and the Crisis of fHELPER-the CARLILEs,
the BoREMANs and the NAT HARRIsoNso Of
West Virginia are monopolizing the
benefits of the revolution against the
ideas of their own advocacy, rising
to- greatness on the ruins of the re-
bellion that came from their teach
ing. This is due simply to the fact,
that the original Republicans of West
Virginia allowed q lot of demagogues
to teach them "loyalty" after the war
was over, and to lead in the fight
against secession after the rebellion
was crushed. For example, people OF
the BoREA6AS stamp originated the pro-
scriptive policy in this State. They
were its first advocates, and the Repub-
licans proper, instead Of taking their
rightful position at the head of the par
ty and against that policy, quietly fell
into line behind the proscriptionists,
and helped them in their iniquitous
work The result is that FOREMAN goes
to the Senate, and CAMPBELL is left in
retirement. But had CAMPBELL aud the
Republicans of his stamp resisted the
disfranchisement business, they would
have taken from this FOREMAN tribe its
chief strength and by the very liberali-
ty of their policy would have ensured
their own prominence and the perma-
nence of Republican ascendency in
West Virginia. Failing to do this, they
find themselves flying as tails to the
kites of gang Of people who had the
rebellion triumphed could have shown
record of devotion to the interests of
the Southern institution that would
have compared favorably with YANcY's.
In brief, the Republicanso of West Vir-
ginia have joined in a public policy
which has power for its chief object
and disfranchisement for its means, and
they are supplanted by men who
have no sympathy for them so far as
principle is concerned, but whose very
nnscrupulousness will always enable
them to win in mere contest for place.
The only remedy for the evil is for the
genuine Republican element to rebel
against the place-hunting scalawags,
throw overheard their prescription pol
icy, challenge public confidence by the
liberality and fairness of their measures
and thus regain the influence to which
their services, ability and integrity en-
title them.

Tn the City of Xenia, the Oberlin Of
rantral Ohio. last fall, any negro that
nresented himself at the polls was 81
loved to vote for the Republican mem
her of Congress, and Democrats, toT
challenging negre voters were beaten
and driven from the polls. AT the mp-
nicipal election in that City, on the 1rst
Monday in April, the Radical Leaders
and the darkies were on different sides
| of the fence. There was a temperance
element in the contest, and as the me-
proes all like their tod they voted
AGAINST the temperance ticket. The
"God and morality" chaps finding they
were in a fair way to be defeated, chai-
lenged a large number of the whisky
loving eontrabands, and actually refus-
ed to allow them to vote "on account OF
color" Of q verify there is nothing

checks, amounting in all to about

by Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co., on the
Bank of the State of New York, were
recently presented, and paid by that
bank. The checks, in engraving and
general style, were fac SMILES of those
used by the firm, and the signatures, as
we'll as the writing in the body of the
check, were so completely initiated as
to avoid detection at the bank.

rhe Alabama Matter.

Grim yisaged war wrinkled his front
to slightly perceptible extent in the
Senate when the Alabama treaty was
under debate. A synopsis of what was
said appears in another column. While
there we're no emphatic declarations of
hostile intent, if We except the bravado
of CHANDLER who omits no opportunity
of shaking his mauleys in the eyes of
the British lion, there were divers nays
terious mutterings, hints and sugges-
tiOns of ugly contingencies in the fu-
ture, which showed that the Senate had
a definite Though unexpressed purpose
in view to hold England to strict &C
countability at the first favorable op-
portunity. The impression obtains
that Canada affords ready
means of solving the Ala
bama question. Give US the Dominion
as indemnity and call the account
square, say some bargaining wise-acres.
Possibly England might be glau OF an
excuse to shake off the Canadian incu-
bus, but the Kanucks don't appear to
banker after more intimate relations
with their irrepressible Yankee neigh
bors. Living near enough to witness
the practical workings of the best Gov
ernment the sun ever shone on" they
have not been so deeply impressed with
it's bene6cence as to wish to become &C.
tual partakers therein.
So long as RARKIs is not "willin"
there can of course be no Canadian an
nexation. In the meantime, however
the Senate may feel, our people have
not become sufficiently oblivioHs of
their last war to desire a precipltate
Iush into another.

The ImpcriGEst adopts as a portion OF

"Let Us have peace" 1t pIefaces the

observation, "the Empire is peace"
From this, the inference is easy that
