A MAN KILLED.-Lest Saturday fore
noon, while the II o'clock freight train
was at the freight depot of the Cleveland
and Pittsburgh railroad in this city, a
stranger was observed by the agent
standing at the south end of the platform.
No notice was taken of him till the
train was leaving the depot, when at
tention was attracted to him by his
screams at the north end of the plat
form, where he was seen rolling out
from under the moving train. He was
Immediately picked up by Mr.. Magee
and Mr.. Donaldson and taken into the
depot and medical aid sen for. 1t was
found upon examination that both his
legs, near the knees, had been run over
by the cars and almost severed from
his BODY. 1t is not known how he
happened to get under the train, wheth-
er he attempted to get aboard the train
while in motion or was between
the cars and fell off After re-
manning at the depot for some time he
was taken to the house of Mrs. Keller,
on Third street, where death relieved
him of his suffering short time after
three o'clock in the afternoon He was
perfectly sober and gave his name as
Joseph German, and said that he had
no friends in this country, and that he
did not want his mother to know of his
situation, for it would break her heart.
He was an Irishman, about twenty-siX
years old, five feet ten inches in height,
light hair and fair complexion, and was
dressed i'll a brown tweed suit and wore
velvet cap. On his person was found
leather pocket-book, but no money IN
in it, a moulders trowel, toll ticket
over the Wheeling bridge and com
mitment issued by Wilson Kerr, an
alderman in Philadelphia, Pa, on the
eth of this month. Coroner Stephens
empanelled jury, who held an inquest
on the BODY. Their verdict was in ac-
cordance with the facts stated above.
Distressing CASE OF DROWNING
About nine o'clock on Thursday morn
ing of last week an interesting little
child named Sarah Annie Stewart,
aged twenty-one months, daughter of
J. Hamilton Stewart of this borough;
died under very distressing circum-
stances. While playing in the yard at
tached to its parents residence; 1t ap-
preached the cistern (the covering of
which had been left untastened, 1t Is
presumed, by some one who had drawn
water few minutes previously, and
accidently fell in, and was drowned be
fore assistance could he rendered. 1t
had probably been in the water between
five and ten minutes before being
missed-otherwis it might have been
rescued. 1t was a bright little girl, and
the stricken parents have the sincere
sympathy of our community in their
sad bereavement IIGsh;nqto" E.r"m-

Help for the Miserable.

No wonder that the face of the dyspcptlc
has dragged, worn, hopeless expression
that is pitiful to see. No wonder that the
miserable martyr to Indigestion Is fretful,
irritable, and unsocial Whoever can bear
the pangs of this tormcnting complaint
cheerfully, and with an unruffied temper,
Is little short of q saint. But why should
human fortitude continue to be thus severe
" tried, when an absolute specific for the
disease Is always on hand. Everywhere
within the limits OF civilization in this
hemisphere Hostetter's stomach BitterS is
obtainable, and the history OF the first case
of dyspepsia in which IL has been admins
tered In vain, has yet to be written. The
sickness at the stomach, the sense of weak
ness and stupor, the feeling of emptiness
and hollowneSS before eating, and of oppreS-
sion afterwards the fiuttering OF the pulse,
the intense nervous irritation, the morbid
indispoSition to eXertion, the WEAKNESS OF
life, and indifference TO all its pleasures,
which are among the symptoms of the dis
ease in its chronic form, are rapidly anne
liorated by the tonic operation of this pala-
table vegetable restorative, which seems to
renovate and quicken all the dormant forces
OF the SYSTEM and rouse the mind from the
apathy and GLOOM inseparable from de-
rangement of the digestive and secretive
functions. In ordinary cases few weeks
suffices TO complete the cure, but when the
disease Is complicated, as IL often is, with
torpidity of the liver, severe constipation,
impurity OF the blood, and q sluggish circu-
lation, a longer time may be required. Per-
severe, however, and the result is certain
An encouraging improvement will be per-
ceptible from day TO day. and the GONZALES
cent, knowing and feeling that he or she is
OH the high road to health, will await the
happy issue with comparative patience.

Repatriation Of Negroes.

There is a local election to be held in
Weston on the second of May, and we
are informed that the Registrar has al
ready commenced the registration of
negroes. 1t is further stated that the
colored gentleman is registered without
taking the oath while the white man is
required to take it, Furthermore, ev-
cry negro is registered, while 4 large
portion of the most intelligent and re-
spectacle white people are denied that
privilege!
This is very happy state of things
TO exist under the "best Government
the world ever saw In the first place,
until either Congress or the State Leg
islature shall pass law enforcing the
the 18th Amendment, there exists not the
shadow of authority for the registration
of the negro vote. The Constitution of
West Virginia expressly declares that
white" male citizens alone shall vote
and all Registrars, and all who con-
duct an election are sworn to
observe and support that Constitution.
tits true that they are also sworn to
support the Constitution of the United
States; but where State and federal
constitutions come directly in conflict
az in this case, administrative officers
of the law are compelled to discharge
their duties as heretofore until Congress
or the Legislature instructs them other
wise. Hence we observe that the Leg
islature Of Maryland is now legislating
upon this subject; and if we are not
mistaken the question is also engaging
the attention Of Congress and will loon
pass into law. Until this is done no
officer in this or any other State can
register a negro with the shadow of au-
thoritv unless their State Constitutions
authorize them to do so.
But there is no use to present reason
or facts to unscrupulous Radicals.
What care they about either Constitu-
tons or laws, or the sacred obligation of
oaths, if they do not subserve the par
,isan purposes which they have con-
stantly in view? They disfranchisc and
refuse to register white men because
they are Democrats; but the color
Of negro skin is at once a passport TO
the ballot box, without law and in con-
tempt Of the express language of the
State Constitution!

A Coiored Orator.

A distinguished colored gentleman Vi
the Republican persuasion by the name
of FuRGusos, delivered a speech at a
fifteenth Amendment celebration IN
Parkersburg last week, which is printed
in the Times of that city In it are
some refreshing paragraphs. He says;
Zone man has no moral right to gov
ern another. Besides any distinction of
rights is an insult to humanity. Every
man looks with contempt with scorn
and derision upon every other one oc-
cupying political strata below himself
Hence colored men, without suffrage,
have been an obiectof contemptthroush-
out the nation"
Very well; but if this be true why
do not orator FuRGUsoN and his Repuo-
lican friends advocate the removal OF
all chains with which they have bound
in servitude thirty thousand of our
white people? That's nut to crack.
The following lines show that orator
FuReusox is not well posted on the
history or genealogy of either race:
"As to the men and moral difference
setween white men and colored men,
white men present the result Of two
thousand years of brown study on the
improvement Of their race, colored men
present the result of $50 wears of slavery
and oppression.
In the first place, white men can date
back their study" and their freedom
too, much farther than two thousand
years." and if we are not mistaken the
origin of the colored race dates back to
period equally as remote as most OF
the races But where in the history
of the world did the negro ever assert
his liberty, or rise to intellectual or
social equality with the winter races? lie
has been a slave or q heather always.
The improvement he now has in this
country over his European race is SIM
ply the result of $50 years of contact
with his white master and mistress,
and that would be lost in few years If
he were to pass from under the
shadow of the white man.
But orator FERGUSON gives an un-
kind hit to his colored friends while
seeking to ape his Radical brethren.
He says:
Remain in your barber-sAops, car
penter-shops, blacksmith-shops and on
your farms faithfully discharging the
duties of life, and when you are wanted
to hold office the people will call and
let YOU know"
This is rich and racy! Thcrcspccta-
Die and intellectual colorcd sovcreigns
of this State are invited by their orator
to shave the boards, black the boots, and
shoe the horses of their Radical friends,
and then help elect them to all the
offices! But the dear colorcd brethren
arc politely and piously requested to
remain out in the cold until called to
higher honors, Well, the dupes will
be called for 10y their new friends about
the time that Gabrial blows hi1 horn.

80 that the bond should not be merely
"a local one, but that condition Of

Rishts of Married Women.

In New York, by the laws of that
State, the wife has some exclusive rights
of property as against her husband-as
that his estate is responsible for her
debts before marriage; that third of
his real estate is hers by right of dover,
and that her separate estate, if she dies
without issue, goes entire to her rela-
tives. These and other rights make at
times very invidious distinctions against
the husband, and accordingly bill
to equalize the property rights Of
husband and wife was introduced
some time since in the assem-
bly,, and came up for vots on the 18th
instant. By its terms the matrimonial
relation of the Roman, or the civil law
which treats the husband and wife as
two distinct persons in the law, was vir-
tually proposed, but so little considera-
ton did the proposition receive that 1t
was almost laughed out Of the house by
90 to Is. 1t was conceded that woman
being the weaker vessel was entitled to
all the rights she had wrested from the
