Mr. RrIizhooxer,s Vote.

G. NJ. Beltzhoover, Esq, one of the
delegates from this county to the Legis-
lature, is entitled to the distinction of
having, by change of vote at critical
iuncture, thrown himself in the breech
against the repealers, and it is conceded
on all hands that upon him rests the
responsibility of the location of the
Capital of West Virginia at one of the
most inaccessible points in the State
Charleston, Kanawha county. How far
Mr.. b. represented the views of his con-
stituents in this matter may not be for
us, disfranchised as we are, to say, but
we venture upon the suggestion that it
was about as much out of the way of
Mr.. Beltzhoover to have changed his
vote at the time designated as Charles
ton is out of the way for seat of Gov
ernment. We have had some expert
ence in the difficulties attending trips
to Charleston, and we would advise
those compelled to 60 there to kiss the
babies and say their prayers before
leaving home, as they will not know
when they will reach the Capital and
the Lord only knows how and when
they Bill get back.-JcGeraon County

A WASHINGTON DISPATCH to the Gin

Intelligence that the pure. patriot and
exalted statesman, ASHLEY, is to be
spared to Montana. His appointed sue
cessor has, it is understood, declined the
office, and ASHLEY having raised q
great clamor and powerful opposition
in the territory, the President will re-
tain his distinguished services For all
of which We can not be too thankful.
If the Senate will now confirm that
other pure patriot, SICKLEs, and if the
people of his district will return that
still other pure patriot, WHIrTEMoRE,
our cup will be running over.

General James Watson Webb writes q
long letter to the New York Tribune
from Havana, March 5tb, favoring the
accordance of belligerent rights TO the
Cubans, and saying that if President
Grant and Secretary Fish had been per.
mitted to know the whole truth, they
would have been conceded six months
ago. He says the Cubans have from
$4,000 to 10000 well-armed troops, and
as many more carrying pixies, scythes,
60, and that, on the authority of a
Spanish volunteer officer, if hundred
thousand arms could be landed, they
would find Cubans to carry them, and
Havana would fall in fortnight. The
officer claimed that gunboats built in
the United States had so guarded the
island that it was impossible to land
arms and ammunitions. General Webb
says the cruelties perpstrated upon the
Cubans actually exceed belief, and the
cold -blooded murders and indiscrimi-
nate butcheres perpetrated by beth the
Spanish soldiers and Spanish volun-
teers upon the defenseless women and
children, make ones blood boil with
Indignation at the recital.

GENERAL GRANT declared last Friday
that he was decidedly in favor of the
confirmation of Judge BRADLEY as AS
sOciate Justice, and did not intend to
withdraw his name" This declaration
is highly creditable 10 General GRANT.
1t shows that he is not the man to back
out of a fair trade. Having given
BRADLEY the nomination to the Supreme
bench for the title deeds to that beauti-
full villa OF Long Branch, the very least
the President can do is to stick to the
bargain and insist upon its ratification
by the Senate. If the nomination is
withdrawn, of course BRADLEY will
want to withdraw the villa, which
wouldn't do at all, you know.

ROsADALIs purifes the blood, beauti-
fes the complexion, cures chronic liver
complaints, and all chronic affections
of the blood, liver, kidneys, or bladder.
1t is the most powerful dl'erdtire combi-
nation known in medicine, and has
gained and maintains an unriyalled rep
utalion. 1t also possesses great tonic
and diuretIc properties, and is therefore
valuable wherever an Alternative, tonic
or diuretic remedy is indicated. By the
use of this medicine all scrofnlous hu-
mors, OF other bad taints, will be en-
tirely driven out of the system, the
blood and the secretions will be purified,
and the entire system restored to a
healthy condition, and hence all those
diseases dependent upon an impure state
of the blood WILL BE PREVENTED.

THE following notice of one of the
Greenbrier Senators appears in the In
dependent of Lewisburg. The Demo-
Gratis could, almost without an effort,
have elected member of their own
party instead of HUMPHREYs-but, you
see, he was "liberal Republican," :"
A. r. Humphreys, one of the Senators
from this district, was elected upon the
faith, and eft repeated declaration upon
his part, that he would favor moditi-
cation of the registration law. Demo
Gratis supported him, and worked for
him, and elected him, because they be-
lieved him to be q man of truth. He
could have been easily beaten. he saw
his danger, and hence, he courted Dem
ocratic support, and made pledges and
promises, that he would vote for and
advocate liberal measures. How did
he keep his pledges' Let his votes
upon the registration act answer
the question. He Wds eren
unwilling that the people should elect the
Registrars. He voted throughout with
the "bitter enders." To the people of
this district, whether Democratic or
Republican, we say this man Hum
phreys is unworthy ofyour support. He
disgraces the seat he holds. No reli.
ance can be placed upon his word. He
has deceived you once-it will be yeur
fault if he deceives you again. What
has been said of Humphreys, applies as
well, to Barlow, of Pocahontas, with
this single difference: Barlow, posi-
bly,, is naturally honest, but is too
wishy wasby, too easily lead by the
nose by unprincipled and designing
demagogues, to represent an intelligent
people.
That paper adds:
ave look forward to the time when
our best men shall fill our offices. When
honesty and capability will be the test
When vice, corruption and immortality
will be punished, and good men, and
honest men, and capable men, will be
selected for places of trust and respon
sibility. When all men shall enjoy
equal rights under the law. Then, ant
not till then, will there be permanent
union, and peace in the land

The New York Sun says there is one
little fact connected with the late gold
investigation that is significant and
seems TO have escaped notice. AS the
investigation drew to close, it was de-
termined on one day by the committee
to invite the President to give his YER
sion of the business. The next day,
however, the Rpublican members re.
versed their decision. Had the Presi-
dent been seen in the meantimei This
question is almost as important as that
concerning the nature CORBIN's letter
to GRANT, which appears to have been
destroyed. The emitting to summon
GRANT before the committee has a sus-
picious air about it. The report Of the
committee shows some dark spots in
spite of the deliberate white-washing.

A Maine farmer, quietly crossing a
railroad track, near Portland, on his
sled the other day, was suddenly
startled by train, which quickly made
splinters OF the sled. The astonished
farmer, recovering some what, stood
gazing at the remains of his vehicle,
aud wondering where the pieces of his
horse had gone. Meanwhile the train
sped on for some distance, when the
engineer looking out, saw the horse
staring at him from the COW catcher.
The train was stopped, and it was found
that the horse had been picked up by
the COW catcher and deposited on the
platform in front of the engine, where,
too much stunned or frightened to move,
he lay comparatively uniDjured.

BOARD OF TRADE.
a., All Important Question.


Editors of the Register:
The business men of Wheeling will re-
member with what difficulty the Cham
Der of.Commerce was organized IN this
city a few years ago. When it was
organized, it was credit to the place,
and it is a burning shame that 1t should
have been permitted TO die out. How
ever, it is pretty we'll settled fact that
the Board of Trade has been abandoned,
at least so far as practical working is
concerned. The question now to be
settled by the stockholders OF
the institution is what dispo-
sition shall be made of the
seven hundred dollars which lies in the
treasury. There are two Associations
in the city making efforts to have the
finds ceded to them, the Wheeling Lii
brary Association and "Children's
Home" corporation. As subscriber to
both organizations, the writer may be
allowed to volunteer his opinion for
consideration by those who have the
VOtl0R away Ol iul5 hOuON' DObb A5-
sociations are worthy, and should re-
ceive every encouragement, all will ad.
nit. The Children's Homo is an insti-
tuition, however, that can command ten
times more aid and assistance from a
generous public than can the Library
Association.
Taking care of homeless and friend.
less children is an appeal which can be
made to the public in ten-fold strong
er light than any claim that con be ad-
vanced by the Wheeling Library. Asso-
citation. Many citizens of Wheeling will
contribute to the former object who
will not subscribe to the latter. These
are points which should be considered
by the stockholders of the Board of
Trade before the fund is ceded away.
The proper officer of the Cham Der of
Commerce should call the stockholders
together as soon as possible asd. delib-
crate fully upon the important matter.

No ONE need be surprised if WHITE
MORE is returned to Congress. Bad as
he is, he is probably no worse than nine
tenths of the voters in his district,
whore suffrage is pretty much confined
to "rag, tag and bobtail." In South
Carolina universal suffrage" means
the enfranchisemen of the ignorance
and the disfrsnchisement of the intelli-
gence af the State. The ballot-box is
actually dragged in the mud; ard there
is no such thing asresponsibility among
the electors. WHITTEMoRE is type of
the prevailing system. If he were a
better man he would not have got into
Congress in the first place. But, having
proved himself a scoundrel, his re-
election by an increased majority would
seem to be an inevitable consequence of
