letter from Monroe COltnIS.

May -, 1870
Editors of the Register:
One day last week the Republicans of
Monroe county held a mass meeting,
"so-called, in Union, for the purpose of
appointing delegates to the Parkers-
burg Convention. There was nothing
connected with the meeting worthy of
special notice, except the fact that the
"bitter-enders,' those opposed to the
Flick amendment, as il ia called. carried
the day. am satisfied that majority
of the Republican voters of Monroe
county, yea of this section OF the State,
are III favor OF universal suffrage. Most
of them will vote for a good Conscrva-
tive before they will for any one who
opposes white suffrage universal, vet
advocates black suffrage Many lead
ing Republicans boldly denounce the
action ofthis meeting; and the fact that
a resolution was adopted favoring the
continued Acknowledgement of at least
10000 of our best citizens, is proof that
the leaders of the party, the otfice-seek-
ers and otfice-holders, are opposed to any
thing like a liberal policy, their profes-
sions to the contrary Notwithstanding
The split in Monroe county will help us
unless the extreme RAIDS yield the ques-
ton before the people, and rely for sue
cess upon the next Legislature, as they
did in reference to negro suffrage. NY
opinion is, after a pretty free and full
interchange OF views with the people,
that any candidate who still clings to
and advocates our present test oath sys-
TEN will be bsaten badly. This action
IN Monroe county is a more honest ex-
preston OF Radical views than ANYTHING
| have seen, and | have no doubt ex-
presses the real sentiments of all such
men as Foreman, Peirpoint. Nat Harri-
son h Co. These Radical gentlemen
in. Monroe county, remind me very
much of the bull that undertook 10
butt the train Of the railroad tract;
whilst in full motion. They show
pluck, but very little discretion If you
will give us a good ticket at Charleston
then, with unity of purpose, concert OF
action, energy and industry, We will win !

The Republicans Party and Universal
Amnesty.

The RepublicanP Party and Universal
81 Amnesty.
A, new aud startling reason why
general amnesty for political, oHenses
should be proclaimed in this country,
has been discovered by some business
men of'high charactet.fr New York
and Boston, These gentlemen, says
the Buffalo Courier, have lately visited
several of the Southern States, with
view to investments for themselves and
their friends. They are ardent Re
publicans and supporters of the recon
strnction policy of Congress, but taking
practical view of the financial condi-
ton ofthe States they~visited, they de-
scribe things as being as bad as they
can be-" They think the effect on the
freedman of seeing large bodies of his
fellows, who are grossly ignorant, sud
denly put in possession of the gov ern-
ment OF great, civilized and wealthy
communities, is as demoralizing as
would be the sudden discovery of
parcel of diamonds, and just as likely
to turn his mind away from steady
industry and destroy any desire he may
have 10 acquire political knowledge.
Add to all this, the practical disfran-
chisement of the masses of the lntelll-
gent and responsible part OF the South
ern population, of those who alone had
any experience in the self-government
of communities, which, of course, means
laws of all kinds relating TO persons
and things, including the mixed subject
of taxation, and who is not ready to
indorse the verdict Of these business
men from New York and Boston when
they say that under the Radical recon
structiOn regime, the management Of
State funds has been such, and is such,
as to endanger American credit every
where, frightcn away capital, and make
general bankruptcy, at some not very
distant day, by no means improbable.
1T is, adds the Courier, destroying
those sentiments of honor truth, decen-
cy and patriotism, the loss of which
must he death to a republic
Precisely the same condition of
things exists in West Virginia and is
produced by the same cause. Large
numbers of our people are daily leaving
iornew homes in the West, to escape po-
litical perS ecution, while few are COM
inc from other States and countries to
take their places and add to the wealth
and prosperity of our State. Military
despotism or political prescription will
retard the progress and crush out the
energies of any people in what is pre-
tended to he republican form Of Gov

The Fenian Raid.

As we predicted in the outset, the Fe-
Man raid on Canada has resulted in
more humliating failure than the one
in 1866. O'NElL, though an honored
name, was no man to lead a company
much less an army, and GLEASON is q
worthless. not 10 say an Infamous fel-
low, who would ruin any cause he
might cspousc. They had no means
or men to carry on war, or even
make a decent raid, and the poor fel-
lows who were Seduced into the wild
goose chase, are starving and naked,
and without means to return home
We have the greatest sympathy for
the Irish race, and therefore are the
more sorry to see the poor in this
country wasting their money and lives
in such useless and foolish expeditions.

The Fifteenth Amendment Shame
fully VioIated-The COlOred People
EnsuIted and Indignant.

The first outrage upon the rights OF
loyal citizens under the Fifteenth
Amendment was perpetratcd in this
city yesterday by those who managed
the ceremonies attending the decora-
ton of Federal soldiers graves. The
facts Of the case are briefly and correc-
~ stated as follow While the procession
was forming on Fourth and Monroe
streets, and after the brass band, and
members OF the Grand Army, and other
societies and citizens on foot had fallen
intoline, a large number Of colored citi-
zens well dressed, well hammered and
perfumed with flowers, who had been
courteouslv awaiting their turn for
position, naturally fell into line in
the rear of all white people on foot,
supposing of course that to Ice their
proper and rightful position in pro
cession, if not in front or center. At
this colored innovation, however, the
white Republican blood began TO boil,
and Marshal HUBBARD rode up and ord
cred them peremptorially TO fall ont of
line and take their position in the reay
II tie string al carriages, b'lqyics a,d
horyc1ae, This was properly treated by
the negroes as an insult, and they in
dignantly retired from the procession
and threw away their flowers and ever
greens The idea of making any class
of human beings trudge n mile in the
rear Of carriages and horsemen, TO have
their faces and clothes filled with dust
and mud, was certainly revolving TO the
good sense, taste and humanity Of all
rejecting citizens, and particularly Of
fensive TO the colored people who
were thus snubbed 10y good brothers
and treated with gross indignity after
having been invited to participate in
the ceremonies of the day. 1t was
also gross violation Of the Fifteenth
Amendment, which gives to our colored
people the rights Of equality on all pub
lie occasions, and la suit for damages at a
high figure should be Immediately in
stituted against the patriotic Republi-
cans who committed the outrage on such
a solemn occasion Indeed. had such
an outrage upon true loyalty have been
perpetrated by Democrats, they would
not only have had to suffer damages. but
West Virginia would be voted out of
the Union before tomorrow morning by
an insulted Congress. As it is, the
transaction and its perpetrators may
escape with the indignation and
curses of the negroes, and the
ridicule of white people who have seen
how happily BLACK spirits and white
mingle in Republican professions!
The moral of the affair on yesterday
and we have stated it truthfully-will
simply teach the colored people that
they can never get into any procession
OF their pretended Republican friends,
except on an election day; and it viii
teach white people that negro equality
is impossible, and therefore a falsehood
and a cheat Of the Radical party.

The Popular Tonic Ofthe Age.

The day has gone by when n medicine
without merit could command and retain
the confidence of the world. Advertising
induces the public To try many things, but
In this shrewd and thoughtful age, words
will not suffice without proofs, and il IL by
the exercise oftkeir private judgment, men
determine the relative value Of the various
articles recommended To- their notice
through the business columns of news
papers. HOStetter's Stomach Bltters has
now been subjected to this searching ordeal
for more than eighteen years, and the re-
suit Is that ii stands al the head of the class
of remedies to which il belongs. 1t has dis
tanced and lived down innumerable COM
petitorS, and is to-day the Standard Nege-
table Tonic Of the western world. The
happy effects which have followed its use
in cases OF dyspepsia, biliousneSs, nervous
affections, Intermittent feverS and general
debility, and rs constitutional invigorant,
have entitled II TO universal confidence.
Nothing can ever shake its reputation, for
il is based on the individual experiences of
tens of thousands OF witnesses, embracing
prominent and well known citizens OF every
profession, occupation and class. There Is
not q city, town or settlement in the United
States where 1t is not n medicinal staple.
No druggist or general dealer would con-
slider his stock complete without 1t, and the
returns of the internal revenue department
show. that its sales exceed those of any other
proprietary restorative manufactured OH
this side of the Atlantic. The beneficial
results derived during n long series of years
from the use of HOStetterS BitterS, have
convinced the whole community that the
only true way to restore TO health broken
down or debilitated system, or to put the
human body on its defence when exposed
to unwholeSome influences, is TO inrlgoroae,
regulate and purity IL nj one and the same
time.
