sS5- Some OF our contemporaries strangely
Inexperienced the views of the Hon. G. j.
Faulkner in reference to the route of the
Cumberland Valley Railroad. He is not OPP
posed to the extension of the road through the
Luray Valley on the contrary, he would be
delighted to see it constructed from Win
chester to Salem. His argument was simply
intended to show that if it was the design of
the Pennsylvania road to connect with the
network of Southern railroads it could be
done as we'll at Winchester as at Salem In
this we do not concur with him. being salts
fed that the Company would be amply repaid
for every mile they so Southwark, but the
advantage of the Winchester route would be
that it would be upon paying footing as soon
as completed, whereas, if Winchester is left
cut, the road would not remuuerate until it
reached Salem. - Vim. Times.
1t is quite natural Tor the Times to attempt
to cxtricate the Winchester route from the
dilemma into which it was thrown by the
speech of Mr.. Faulkner at Harpcr's Ferry,
and to attempt an explanation of his meaning.
But we can scarcely see how the Times can
fairly represent Mr.. T. in favor of an extension
of the road beyond Winchester, in view of the
following extract from his speech:
"Why construct an independent Railroad
ofsome $50 miles, from the Potomac to Salem,
at cost of some 81 600, 600 or SS, 900 900, if
the same construction to Salem can be ac-
complished by road of 80 or So miles, and
at an expense less than 81 600, 0O0"
CAS- he before remarked, the roads from n.
Y. and Phia, to Hagerstown already
complete; from HagerstOwn to the Potomac,
in progress Of construction from Winchester
to Harrisonbure, the road is already made or
in course reconstruction from Harrisonburg
to Salem it would doubtless be made by the
Baltimore Co., in few years. Such being
the roads already made, or certainly shortly to
be made, there will then be gap of some 50
or 33 miles from the Potomac TO Winchester
yet to be constructed, to give to those North
ern cities direct connection with the entire
network of Southern railroads extending to
the Mississippi river and to the Gulf of Mex
leo. What more conld they in reason desire
If under such circumstances they cannot COM
pete with Baltimore, they may as we'll forever
abandon the field of competition"
Now this language is very clear, and needs
no explanation and we think it will be per-
fectly understood by the authorities of the
Cumberland Valley, as we know it is by the
people of the Luray Valley, who would be
entirely cut off BY the adoption Of Mr.. Faux
ners suggestions.

Southern Commercial Convention.

The Louisville Southern Commercial Con-
vention was opened on Tuesday last by Gov
ernor Stevenson, who delivered an address of
welcome to the delegates, in the course of
which he advocated the claims of Norfolk, as
the terminus of an ocean line of steamships.
Hon. Willard Fillmore was elected President
Of the Convention. He delivered brief
conservative speech, which was received With
great applause.
We make the following extract from Mr.
Fillmore's address:
assure you nothing has been so crafty
ing to me as this Convention The war is
ended with its logical events. Questions have
been settled, / trust never to disturb US again.
1 have a yeneration for the Constitution OF
the United States. 1 believe it to be the
bSst organic law that has ever been framed.
You know when L occupied the Presidential
chair the Fugitive Slave bill was passed. l
freely confess it was against my feelings. 1
examined it carefully and found no defect in
it. 1t was constitutional, and although L
knew when signed it was signing my po>
lticaI death warrant, would have done it
had it taken my right arm.

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.

Virginia makes the Twentieth State which
has ratified the 18th amendment to the Federal
Constitution, and the favorable action of eight
more States is required before that amend
ment becomes part of the Constitution
The States from which these eight votes are
to be received, are Texas, Mississippi, Ala
bama, California, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa,
Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska,
New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Tennessee and Vermont.
There is little doubt that the following
States. will pass it: Texas, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and YER
ment. The hitch is in Rhode Island not on
account of giving the negro the right to vote,
but because it will bring in large class of
white Democrats who have hitherto been
denied suffrage, aud who the Radicals fear
will carry the State over to the Democratic
column. The indications all are, that the Fiji
teenth Amendment will be ratified by twenty
eight States, but that there will be none over
for "good measure"

Rough Handling Of a Judge.


I special telegram from Richmond to the
Petersburg Jsde.c. Gays the following informa-
ton has been received from Grecnbrier, West
Virginia:
Last spring Robertson and Mcpherson,
Sheriff aud Clerk of the county, were removed
from Office by the notorious Judge Harrison
on account of political differences. They APP
pea!ei to the Supreme Court of West Fir-
ginia, and by a recent decision of that branch
were re>iDstated. 1t has bean rumored since
that Harrison would have them indicted for
perjury in taking the test oath, and thus at
tain his purpose. On Thursday last a Grand
Jury having been selected with reference to
that purpose. sent to the Court for instruc,
tons, and Mcpherson being present, rose and
accused the Judge of having packed the jury
with view to accomplishing personal ends
The Judge retorted, and Mcpherson, who
is powerfully built, seized and attempted to
throw him out of the window, but was pre-
vented by bystanders The Judge ordered
his officers to arrest Mcpherson, but the citi
zens would not allow it. The excitement was
intense
Mcpherson was unmolested all day, but
surrendered himself 10 the evening.

- The Spirit of jefferson, a paper pub
lished in this Senatorial District, and which
assumes to represent the extreme Southern
sentiment Of the county of Jefferson, is out in
an attack upon the ticket headed by Kitchen
and Bilmyer for the Senate, and Lamon aud
Luce for the House Of Delegates. 1t declares
that it cannot give its support to any such
ticket, and that it greatly prefers the triumph
of Wisner and Koonce to the success of the
liberal movement which has been Inaugural
ted by the Republicans of West Virginia
Nec Era.
1.-THE main feature charged in the above
extract, is not only absurd, but absolutely
untrue. We have never declared that we
preferred the triumph of Wisner & Koonce
to the success of the liberal movement" and
we defy the Era to point to a single sentence
in our paper that will bear any such construo-
ton. We demand that the Era shall do this,
or stand convicted of bearing false witness

THE BOARD OF REGISTRATION OF
JEFFERSON COUNTY.

Under the registration law. of West Vir-
ginia the Governor has the power of appoint
ing the Boards of Registration for the different
counties. The Governor, under the law, and
according to the principles of our form of gov
eminent, stands in the exact relation of an
agent and is as strongly bound by the MARIN
delegatus non protest delegare "a delegate has
no power to delegate,) as an individual acting
in mere private capacity; aud therefore,
these appointments should be made by him,
and not by anather through the delegation of
his authority. But the Governor undoubted-
ly thinks otherwise, as he placed in the hands
of candidate for the Senate from this county,
blank commissions for forming Board of
Registration as emergency might require, by
the said candidate filling out the blanks
They have been filed, 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 2" Gov
ernor, in fact, at Wheeling, and an acting
Governor in Jefferson county.
The first TWO initials of the candidates name
referred to are George Koonce. 90
All who want to register, go to George i'm
mediately. The ball is open.

to an address of welcome he said
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of Louisville
This reception is an honor and pleasure

Fifteen years ago visited your city for the
first and last time, and had 1 been placed in
it To-day uuawares l could not have recog-
nized it. True, there is the grand old river
flowing along its edge, here is the great natural
obstruction of the falls which has placed it
with the great commercial cities of the coun-
try but now, when l see your splendid houses
and your beautiful streets all seems to be
changed 1t would seem as though magic
hand had passed over it. How you could be
so prosperous under all the vicssitudes of the
past ten years is unaccountable but | con-
graduate you on your good fortune and your
prosperity, Kentucky, if there be a State in
the Union except that which gave me birth,

I beg your pardon, gentlemen l came here

thing. 1 came here simply to thank you for
this unexpected reception and honor, and to
express the hope that you may continue to be
prosperous, and that our country may be one
and united forever. [Applause. Pardon me,
therefore, for not adding to this address, and
for contenting myself by simply thanking you
for this honor. [Applause.J
