Liberty Makes Brothers Of us
ALL"

During q stay Of few months
abroad in 1862. | visitcll Ireland and
spent II day in Dublin. i felt special
in,crrs. in that city. connected as y
il with the history Of the many strug-
clcs Of the libcrty.lovins Irish for po-
lilical freedom. More over, IN the day
when O'Conncll and his rompnlriots
plead for "thc Repeal OF the Union. l
tried my Ynmkco tongue In advocating
the claim OF ireland. Hence | felt tho
grratcsi interest IN anything connected
with the memory of"thc Groat AGi..
tator." aud at my earlicstm omGnt paid
visit TO the ground where he lies
buried. IT. wasa plain vault In hill
side in tho cemetery, although ! was
told Ly the old sexton that beautiful
monument, then in course OF erection
in another part OF the yard, was for
O'Conncll.
AS stood in front Of the iron door
which hid all that was mortal Of the
Great Commoncr," | noticed mound
close BY with cheap, plsin slab at the
head OF 1t. on which was this inScrip-
tion: "Sncrcd to tho Memory Of
Thomas Steel: who departed this lito
-. aged - years" well rcmcm.
Der Tom Steel (ior we nickname those
whom we lovc-as wo say Tom Moore
and Bcbbic BurnS). and IL my rcndtnS
was correct. he died a martyr iorSiib.
crty. remember still more TINT he
was II Protestant SO, | turnedAo the
old man who stood byas | read aloud
the brief record on tho stone, and
asked, with al assumed tone Of sur
prisc: z
WAS not Steel II hcretic?"
Faith, he was!" responded the man
with great cmphasis.J
And" said |, lis hot this consccra.

"Indadc it is," he answered
"And was not Daniel O'Connell 4
good and faithful sou Of the Holy
Mother Church ?" continued.
"IIe was,' he responded; didn't lie
have the blissing OF tho Pope him
sclf?" ~
"Now," said I. "I an hereto and
a hereto priest: but IjudGc you from
your ow.. standpoint. Why do you
leta hereto lie IN sacrcd ground !"
! never knew the quick wit proVcrb-
ial Of the nation to lnil IN M answer,
but | never heard q better answer than
camo that day from the lips Of tho old
sexton.
",You see" said he. " Daniel O'Com-
nell was for liberty"
"Ile was the Great Agitator," &c.
piled.
And you know Tom Steel was for
liberty"
"Ic was q martyr" said I.
And then with look and tone be-
yond my description. he add:
r" You KNOW LIBERTY MAKES BROTH.

| took the dear old patriots Roman
Catholic hand in my Protestant hand,
and shaking hands over Steel's grave,
| repeated the eloquent declaration Of
my dear brother: "LlDERTY MAKES

That is the grand keynote Of true
political union-North,. South, East
West. And tho heart which docs not
echo tho voice sounding from the GEM
ctery In Dublin, whether It throbs un-
der fuslIan or SATIN, is the heart Of q
traitor and Iyrant. ] thought the old
sexton had sounded the watchword for
our nation, and not for ours only, but
all who love liberty. - Hearth and

The Virginia Debt and West Virginia

As to the joint debt of Virginia and West
Virginia, it appears that the United States
government holds West Virginia bound, as
every honest man knows she is, to pay her
Just proportion of it. Governor Foreman
having applied to that government for the
payment of the claims made against it by his
State for moneys expended, sin paying and
supplying military forces engaged in suppress
ing the rebellion" he was told that the De-
partment of the Interior held large amount
of State bonds in trust for certain Indian
tribes, ON which only small part of the in
terest had been paid since January l, 1861,
and that the Secretary of the Interior had
requested that the payment Of the sum found
due the State of West Virginia be withheld
until through her authorities, she should
make a settlement with the department Of
her Just proportion Of the liabilities incurred
by the issue of said bonds. In regard to
this request, Governor Foreman says:
"Thc aggregate principal Of these bonds is
S796,S00, and the unpaid interest accrued at
the date of the examination (AIarch 1862
was 1891, $50, upon which, as | was officially
since January l, 1861. There are Il portion
of these bonds for which there may be
slight pretext to hold the State responsible,
on the ground that the corporation that issu-
ed them is within the State. These arc the
bonds of the city of Wheeling, guaranteed
by the State of Virginia, amounting to $685.
600 of principal, aud on which no interest
had been paid since January, 1861, until re-
Gently, as l am Informed, the city authori-
ties have paid about one-half of the same;
yet deny that there is anything in this mat
ter that should render the State liable for
these bonds"

DID Nor CONE QFF.-Friday, the goth
day of January. was the day fixed by the
Circuit Court Of Berkeley county, for the
execution of JOSEPH GRAHAM for the murder
of negro woman in Gerardstown, some time
during last summer. The inaction of the
Governor of the so called, bad led to the belief
that the execution would take place according
to appointment, but in this case, as in many
others, the old adage is demonstrated,
'"Therc'e many slip
'rwxt the cup and lip"
and some of the anxious were over much dis
appointed, as the respite of the Governor
arrived Just in time to save the neck of the
condemned The Ne,c Era thus describes
the day and its incidents =
"Friday last was great day in Martinsburg,
the day appointed for the hanging of Joseph
Graham. Joe was on hand, punctual to the
hour, aud was not at all discounted that the
fun did not come off. When it was announced
to him by Deputy Sheriff Mozley that tho
execution was postponed, lie quietly remarked
he was willing. The visitors were not so
easily satisfied, however. They had come up
from the valleys and mountain tops, many of
them long distances, on horseback, in wagons,
and by far the larger portion on foot. 1t was
too bad to be disappointed in this way. The
Sheriff and attorney Blackburn were charge
able with all this disappointment, and would
be remembered next election. Out OF the
entire number who visited the town, but one
man was found who had come for the special
purpose of seeing the execution, and he had
come up this far TO see it, and get few drinks,
which he had succeeded in doing, as he was
last seen near the railroad crossing on the
Hedgesville road, inquiring for his own house
lin sight. Two ladies' after standing round
all day, and seeing the Sheriff at last move off
to the Jail. concluded that the prisoner was
to be led out. They started for their horses,
and in few minutes they were in the same
neighb0rhoOd, mounted-when one of the
horses concluded to lie down. The lady dis
mounted, aud called to a man close by to take
her saddle off The other lady remarked to
one in speaking distance that the horse
had too much corn, and the reply was she
thought he didn't have enough-they stirred
the horse up, and at the suggestion of the
man started for home, as he thought lie might
take her there if she kept him moving, which
she did
The largest crowd that has been in town
for long time was here and could only be
compared to Circus day, which can bring
more people to this village than any other,
except perhaps Winchester, which is consider
ed good show town.

FInE-On Sunday morning. about half
past eleven o'clock, fire was discovered issu-
ing from the stable on the premises of Mr..
Wm. p. Henson, on Main street. Its early
discovery prevented it from spreading to any
considerable extent, but before it was cxtin-
guished the stable, and most of the hay stor-
cd in it, was destroyed. The fire occurred
from the careless handling Of a match by a
small son of Mr. II. We are requested by
Henson to return thanks to those neighbors
who rendered such efficient service in extin-
gushing the fire.
