The Wrongs They Suffer.

The wrongs that have been perpe-
trated upon the people in the interior
and southern counties of West Virginia
during the seven years of Radical in
competency and misrule, are scarcely
appreciated or believed by those living
in more favored localities. Here, in
Ohio county, where the laws, even
though injudicious and wrong in prin-
ciple, have been fairly administered, it
is difficult for us to imagine the condi-
ton Of the people in other districts
where citizens are robbed of their prop
erty and deprived of their dearest rights
without the possibility of legal redress.
We believe that if our people could 90
into the interior counties and talk with
the citizens there, and learn from their
own lips the record of the wrongs they
have suffered and still endure, there
would be scarcely an hundred votes
cast in the whole Panhandle for the
continuation of power in the hands OF
the men who have committed or per,
mitted these wrongs.

Enfranchise the white Men.

The proscriptive system practiced In
this State has scarcely an apologist or
defender. The Radical speakers and
editors won't talk about or attempt to
justify if. They knoV it is wrong,
Their silence is a confession. What
ever may have been the necessity for it
during the war, every sane man must
now admit that its usefulness to the
State (if it ever had any has passed
away and that now it is clog upon our
prosperity. Then, why not remove it /?
Why not say that white men in West
Virginia shall be as free as negroes ?
The politicians of the Radical party
cannot be trusted to repeal this odious
and now useless legislation. 1t is the
bridge which has carried them over the
gulf of popular indignation and they
are not willing to destroy it The peo-
pie must do it themselves. The people
must elect men to office who are not
afraid to enfranchise the white men of
the State.

Death Of Hon. IL. RidxMnY.

His many friends and acquaintance
in West Virginia will be deeply panied
to hear of the death of Hon. ROBERT
RIDGwAY, of Amherst, Va, which is
announced by telegraph this morning,
Mr.. RIDGwAY was widely known
throughout the State before the war as
the editor of the Richmond Wing. He
was brilliant and forcible writer, as
all who remember the infuenceIwielded
by the Wing in its palmy days can at
test. During the war he took no part
in political affairs, and at the
first election for members of
Congress in Virginia in 1866, he was
chosen to represent the Amherst dis
trict The Virginia delegation was not
admitted at that time, however, and,
under the reconstruction laws, a new
election was held last fall, at which Mr..
RIDGwAY was reelected. He was ad-
mitted to his seat in Congress last
winter. fitI
In addition to his ability as a writer,
he was an orator of no mean preten-
'sions. he was a genial companion, a
splendid talker, and one of the truest
friends and warmest-hearted men it has
ever been our fortune to know. May he
rest in peace!

Saving Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondent of the Southern
Plantel, at Benlomand, Arkansas, gives
this method: construct house after
the following plan:s Build a double
wall, and daub closely inside and out !;
then gil up the space between the walls
with dry dirt. AT the proper height
place loft Of logs closely laid and
leaving square holetwo by three feet
to admit air Immediately over the door.
The potatoes should be dug as soon as
ripe, which may be known by breaking
and laying up for few hours; If ripe,
they will turn white where broken il
not, they win become dark. Il al :
When ripe, dig and leave them in the
patch twoo three days exposed to the
sun; if cold, throw vines over them tc
protect them from frost The should
| remain in the sun sufficient time t
! wilt, after which they may be housed
| Potatoes should be sorted before being
put up. Place in piles Of thirty bushels
and aft on dry sand until all crevicei
are filled. When the whether is warn
leave the door open to admit free circu
lation of air. The hole in the lof
should never be closed This system
will save sweet potatoes"

Population or west virginia.

The census of West Virginia should
certainly be completed by this time. In
many of the counties the work was fin
ished more than a month ago. Why is
the complete enumeration not yet pub
lished? The delay awakens the suspi'
cion that the population Of the State
has diminished rather than increased
during the seven years Of Radical rule,
and the United States Marshal desires
to withhold proof of the fact until after
the election has been held. We be,
leve that there certainly has been a
large decrease in the population of the
interior and southern counties, where
the proscriptive measures Of Radicallsm
have exerted their greatest force, where
the oppression has been heaviest and
most keenlv felt.

Wonders OF the Telegrnph-HOw We
get the War News.
From the Journal of the Telegraph

From the Journal of the Telegraph
The press dispatches from Europe to
New York during the last four weeks
numbered about 100000 words. New
York has been better posted on the
issue of the war each day than London,
Paris or Berlin. These dispatches have
almost wholly been sent by a single ca
bic, fully one-third Of the whole to a
single daily paper, and with marvellous
rapiditv and accuracy. Familiar as we
are with the work of the telegraph, it
has been marvel:to us. To hundreds
of thousands of minds the whole price
is and has been deep enigma. Here
is a man sitting in dark room at
Hearts Content. The ocean cable
terminates here. A fine wire attached
thereto is made to surround two small
cones of soft iron. As the electric wave,
produced by few pieces of copper and
zinc at Valentia, passed through the
wires, these cones become magnetic
enough to move the slightest object. A

reflected light from side to side. Let

fitting idiom in utter silence on the
wall. There is no record made by the
machine except as the patient watcher
calls out to comIade the translated
flashes as they come, and which he
records. 1t seems miracle of patience.
There is something Of awe creeps over
us as we see the evidence of human
touch 5000 miles away swaying that
line of light Ry such delicate pro-
cess as this, and after its being repeated
from line to line FIVE times before its
ultimate copy is in New York, have the
late great battles been recorded in our
daily papers with great particularly

What Good has II Done ?

The Radical party has now had un-
limited power in West Virginia for
seven years, What good has it done ?
We admit that some of It's legislation
has been salutary, but what has been
its general effect. We have either
stood still or refrigerated while others
have advanced. The vast mineral and
agricultural resources of the State are
not much nearer development than
they were seven years ago and, as the
Intell;gsncv says, those seven years
have been "seasted." Is it not about
time to try change OF policy2

"a Policy" at Last.

The Administration of President Grant
was attacked in its early days because, in
thewords. Of dissatisfied Republicans who
were not appointed to office, ''it had no
policy" Pretty much the same complaint
was made by the opposition orators and
journals. President Grant was 'imbecile"
and incapable" He could not either origi-
nate great measure or execute what was
marked out for him by wiser men. He was
no Statesman" He was fond of horses,
did nothing but smoke and go to the sea-
side, abandoning his duties as the head of
a great nation. We were told day after
day that his elevation to the Presidency
was great biunder and something worse
than a blunder No denunciation was too
severe; no epithet too contemptuous.
Nineteen months have passed, and Dem
ocrat and Republican alike have found out
that President Grant has policy-a policy
which has maintained a Republican major
ity in the Forty-third Congress--a policy
which destroys the hopes of its political
opponents and inspires its friends with
confidence and enthusiasm. The country
is just beginning to know and feel that il
has the strongest Administration since that
OF Jackson. 1t is policy of law and or.
der and good government. 1t means the
collection of the revenue, the payment oi
the public debt, the reduction of taxation
the protection of the working man, the
purity of the ballot box. 1t Is a policy
which means that there shall be an end tC
treason and rebellion, South as well a'
Moth; policy which means that the
country shall be respected abroad, and tina
the law shall be supreme at home.
means economy in the administration o
the finances, and the punishment of Grim,
everywhere. This is the policy whicl
President Grant has found, and which HI
is fearlessly executing.-N Y. Standard.

From Grass to Winter Feed.


The prudent sheep husbandman, as the
biting ffUsts Of autumn weaken his pas
lures, will see 10 1t that his flock are plen-
tifully though gradually, supplied with
corn or roots, or whatever is to constitute
their winter food No matter how strong
the pasture may appear we would advise
that this additional feeding be not delayed
beyond the first of November,-for snow
or cold rain storms are likely to overtake
us any day, rendering strong and warming
food necessary-and If the flock are not at
least partially accustomed to it, some ami,
mails will over eat, while others NAV not
get a suf1ciency Any one at all familiar
with the handling of sheep need not be
told of the bad effects that will result. We
have known tiocks so injured by a Novem-
Der storm that they could not be restored
TO a proper thrift during the entire winter
following. A good judge of wool will
readily detect the tleeces of such stock-as
every sudden change in the condition of
the sheep produces Joint" in the tibres,
rendering il totally unfit for use in manu-
featuring such styles of goods as require
strength and elasticity in the material com
posing them.
Three year old wethers, and such ewes as
are too old, or from some other cause, are
unfit for breeding, should be kept in flock
to themselves and put upon full feed, as il
can be safely done, for the possibility of
having them ready for a winter market
depends upon q good thrift before cold
weather begins.--- HeStRl'l. I2lLrll 81 = =.
