native Of Virginia, but has resided IN st.
Louis for nearly forty years He was always
a whig as long as there was vestage OF that
noble old party left to cling to, and when 1t
was no more, Mr. Bates was compelled TO
choose between his old enemy, Democracy, led
by intrigue and supported by the ignorance
and rowdyism Of an irresponsible rabblc, and
the Young national and patriotic party which
was taking its place in opposition to the OLD
scarlet prostitute. and stepping forth boldly
IN the advocacy of the rights Of man MI.
Bates was too sound patriot to hesitate a

From the Msrtinsburg Star, Rep.

This polished functionary has issued
his proclamation, in concurrence with
that of President Grant, fixing upon
Thursday the 18th day of November, as
a day ofpublic thanksgiving and prayer.
He INDUCES in the usual platitndes
about improving "the kind and frater-
nal feeling among the people of the en-
tire State" and removing all political
animosities."
Now as man of sense. Governor
Stevenson knows there is but one mode
by which this fraternal feeling can be
improved, and our present political ami
mosities softened, and that is, 70 re-.
store to every man in the community
the civil and political rights of which
he has been deprived. A proclamation
announcing such result would at once
make united brotherhood of all the
citizens of this State, and be followed
by more sincere thanksgiving and
prayer than is likely to mark the peIt
18th of November. All the odious dis.
tinctions of conquered people must be
removed, if you wish to see harmony
and fraternal feeling.

Our "Bird Of Beauty. y

The Intelligencer don't like our rooster
1t questions the beauty of the bird and
objects to his performances generally
We imagine it would be difficult to fnd
rooster that would delight the eyes OF
West Virginia Radicals just now. There
is power of suggestion about the fowl
. recalling of Democratic victories and
"loyal" disasters, which in view OF the
election returns in this State is an ut
ter abomipatio to the "loyaP soul. be
We patient, neighbor. The nerre-rasp-
ing of which you complain is soothing
and comforting compared with the
backing which your delicate sensibili-
ties will experience next Fall. These
days chastise you with whips; the fu-
ture will lash you with scorpions.
We know your distress, we've been
there, and we forgive your aspersions
upon our "bird of beauty" But what
ever he may appear to your benighted
vision, he is full of cemeliness and alto
gether lovely, not only to the eye of
Democratic faith, bat even to the sight
of honest Republicans whose oculars
have been illumiEed by the eye-opening
process of the recent election. Hence
to them, he is as "fair as the
moon and bright as the sum-" it is
only to the incorrigible like YOURSELF
neighbor, that he seems "terrible as an
army with banners"
1t is partly out of pure respect for
the "loyal" feelings that our rooster is
not more vociferous AS war-whoop
at a funeral would not minister to the
comfort of the bereaved, so our chicken
does not mock the calamity of his ene-
mics with uproarious demonstrations.
He is calm in the consciousness of vic.
tory, but he leaves the business of in
sulting the conquered to the "loyaP'
folks who habitually practise that kind
of thing. And then he has arrived at
an age when boisterousness is not al
together becoming. Lo these several
years be las kept faithful watch over
the fortunes of West Virginia Democ,
racy, and now that they are in the
ascendant, he sees his duty done and
feels that the time has come when he
may resign the cares Of his position to
a more pretentious successor and hon.
orably depart in peace. Contemplating
the period, suon to arrive, when fr"m his
roost of honorable retirement, apart
from tie smoke and stir of active strug-
gle, he may behold the uninterrupted
advance of the great Democratic host
whose herald he has been so long, he
calmly surveys the wreck of Test Oaths
and the crush of RAIDS, smiles with for
giving complacency upon the mistor-
tunes of his foes, and bids them 80 in
peace and sin no more.

Ecffersnp Gouurr

The county of Jefferson at the recent
election cast 272 votes,.
Here is a county with votiug popu-
iation of 24OO. Suppose there be in it,
and isis most exaggerated estimate,
600 persons who were so directly or in
directly connected with the rebellion as
TO exclude them from the right Of suf.
frage, still there remain 100 voters at
this moment clearly and anquestiopa-
bly, entitled 10 vote according to the
existing laws and constitution of this
State. How is it then, that these 100
legal voters of the county of Jefferson
are reduced TO 272i 1t is by virtue OF
this most Infamous and atrocious abuse
of the registration law of which the
annals of party crime can afford no par
allel. In no part of this republic is
there a more intelligent, refined, edu-
Gated and high spirited people than
compose the population of the county
of Jefferson; and that they should
for the last five years have submitted
to the infamous proceedings of the Un-
derdonks and Turner's Of that county,
is past comprehension. Will Governor
Stevenson further tolerate these crimes
against the liberties of his fellow citi-
zens, and against the laws and constitu.
tion of his Statef Will he make himself
the further instrument of the perpetra'
tion of these enormities? Will the
Legislature continue in the hands OF
the Executive power liable to such
abusesi Is it the policy and purpose OF
Governor Stevenson, by a system OF
most unparalleled annoyances and op'
pressions to drive these people into a
state of chronic resistance to the State
authority'
We are Republicans, and we wish sue,
cess to the Republican party, but the
abuses and enormities of which the
county of Jefferson has been the thea.
tire, for the past FIVE years, are sufficient
to destroy any party on earth, unless it
promptly corrects the gross injustice
and wrong resulting from the present
abuse of the registration law.

Mr.. Beecher az n Farmer.

! Mr.. Beecher's farm consists Of thirty
six acres, and is carried on on strict SCI
ertific principles. He never puts IL
any part of a crop without consulting
his cook. He plows and reaps and digs
and sows according to the best authori-
ties-and the authorities cost more than
the other farming implements do. AS
soon as the library is complete, the farm
will begin to be profitable investment.
But book farming has its drawbacks:
Upon one occasion, when it seemed
morally certain that the hay ought 80
be cut, the hay book could not be found
and before it was found it was too
late and the hay was all spoiled.
Mr.. Beecher raises some of the finest
crops of wheat in the country, but the
uufavorable difference between the cost
of producing it and its market value
after it is produced, has interfered con-
siderably with its success as CONNER
cial enterprise. His special weakness
is hogs, however. He considers hogs
the best game farm produces. He buys
the original pig for dollar and half,
and feeds him forty dollars worth Of
corn, and then sells him for about nine
dollars. This is the only crop he ever
makes money on. He loses on the corn
and makes seven dollars and half on
the hog. He does not mind this, because
he never expects to make anything on
corn any way. And any way it turns
out, he has the excitement of raising
the hog anyhow, whether he gets the
worth of him or not. His strawberries
would be comfortable success if the
robins wonid eat turnips, but they
won't, and hence the difficulty.
One of Mr.. Beecher's most harassing
difficulties in his farming operations
comes of the close resemblance of differ
eat sorts of seeds and plants to each
other. Two years ago his far-sighted-
ness warned him that there was going
to be . scarcity of watermelons, and
therefore he put in crop of twenty
seven acres of that fruit. But when
they came up they turned out to be
pumpkins, and dead loss was the con-
sequence. Sometimes portion OF his
crop goes into the ground the most
promising sweet potatoes, and comes up
the infernalist carrots-though L never
have heard him express it just in that
WY. When he bought his farm, he
found one egg in every hens nest on
the place. He said that here wasjust
the reason why SO many farmers failed
they scattered their forces too much
concentration was the idea. So he
gathered those eggs together and put
them all under one experienced old hen.
The hen roasted over that contract,
night and day for eleven weeks, under
the anxious personal supervision of Mr..
Beeeher himself, but she could not
phase those eggs. Wbyf Because
they were those Infamous porcelain
things which are used by ingenious and
fraudulent farmers as "nest eggs"
But perhaps Mr.. Beecher's most dis
astrousexperience was the time he tried
to raise an immense crop of dried ap-.
Piles. He planted fifteen hundred dol.
lars worth, but never one of them
sprouted. He has never been able to
understand to this day What was the
matter with those apples,-Mdrk Train.

The RIood. Red Ticket

The proscriptive "screw downs" il
this county, as the last desperate expe
dient to prop up their falling cause, and
to pat the party screws to their OWL
timid followers, had their tickets print
ed III red letters, and upon paper sc
thin that the flaming Jacobin letters
might be distinctly visible on the bach
of the ticket. This was not only 9
gross insult to every honest and indie
pendent vOter in their party, but 9
palpable violation of the law of the
State, and which, before fair and i'm
partial tribunal, would cause every
such ticket to be cast from the ballot
box, uncOunted. The Constitution OF
this State declares "that the mode oil
