recommendation that it do not pass,

respectfully, to submit the following
report: FIRST, we believe that large
majority of the people of the State dc.
mand of this Legislature that some
modification of the registry law be
made, which fact is demonstrated by
the singular unanimity with which the
House of Delegates passed said bill, and
although the change in said law is not

think large majority of the legal voters

made an egregious donkey, and won't
know it until you read this article.
If you will permit us to remind you'
THOMAS, you don't deny the very propo'
sition on which your rascality as
representative depends. You fail to
say, OF to have said for you, that yor
did not put your name, or have II
placed, to the endorsement upon that
letter addressed you by FoGG, CARPER
and others. And lest the fact may
escape you, we will tell fyou why you
evade denial and seek to produce the
same effect by indirection. 1t is because
you know the original paper to be il
existence, and for the further reason
that you fear its production in this city
Your fears are well grounded, THOMAS,
for the delightful document will proba-
bly, oscar your eyeballs" before the ses-
sion ends.
And then you tell us, THOMAS, OF the
III natl onsof your enemies to defeat
you and appeal for public sympathy in
view of your past suffslings as a canai-
date. We think you got even with
them, THOMAS, that time you suddenly
returned and Sd unexpectedly entered
the Convention at Bdckhannon. You
state that had bombsholl burst in
their midst, your enemies would not
have displayed greater CONSERVATION
ban they did at your appearance. b.
That was your triEmph and recompense
THOMAS. AS we understand it, the
startling elements of d burstsd bomb
sh ell are the noise and stencil. You are
a beautiful bombshell, THOMAS, and We
should really like to see you explode
after due preparation. If your "bust'
at Buckhannon was anything like the
"bust" in which you INDUCED upon
Thursday night week, we are not sur
prised at the "consternation" yeur ere,
mics displayed, for beyond all peradven-
ture you are the ugliest man when
drunk ever seen in these parts.
In conclusion, THOMAS, after dis
graciDg yourself by breaking the faith
to which your honor was pledged, you
permitted yourself to be made ninny
of by the prompters of your card. II
has only led you into deeper waters
You remember, THOMAS, when you
came to the editor of this paper with
that dismal whine of yours, complain
ing of injustice having been done you
You remember you asked for leave to
set yourself right before the people
through the REGISTER, and were told
you could say what you pleased and as
you pleased through its columns. You
remember that you sniyelled about be-
ing unable to write your own card and
were told in pol to terms that your men
tai deficiencies would be supplied and
your explanation written up in decent
shape for you. You remember that in
your big BOBBY way you expressed your
thankful acceptance of the courtesy,
and that afterward you permitted your
relf to be made the vehicle of nnother's
spite toward the man who extended shat
courtesy to you. Think ofthis, THOMAS
and ask yourself if in addition to want
ing the nerve to he honest toward your
constituents You do not lack the COM
mon sense to be decent toward these
who pity your lost and miserable con-
dition.

formed habits of moral rectitude and
generous bearing which eDdeared bin

people, aud the Legislature bestowed
upon him about one year ago the hon.

WHY DE WIMPFFEN SURRENDERED.
His Plan TO Escape Countermanded by the En-
perOr.


From Gaignani's Messenger.
An officer who had not quilted General de Wimpf-
fen all the morning OF the 1st writes as follows to
the Debats:-
On that morning the Prussians, having terminated
their movement, attacked US on our right, in order
to drive us on the fresh troops, who awaited our
descent from the plateau, before deplovng all their
forces. For a moment General de Wimpffen was
deluded, and believed in victory, not as yet know
ing that he had before him more than $780, 900 ene-
mics. In the evening he resolved to open passage
for his troops TO the Belgian territory, or to march
upon Carignan. He would doubtless have sue
ceeded, as the enemy half disorganzed by the
contest, had remained in position on the field of
battle; but the Emperor, who still held de yfGcto
the chief command, prevented him, and paralyzed
his best efforts by calling up the Prussians with a
white fag and by addressing letter to the King.
General de Wimptfen, after warm alteration with
the Emperor and his suite on the subject returned
to his quarters and gave in his resignation Napo-
leon refused TO accep: it, and wrote to him the fol-
lowing note:-
GENERAL: You cannot resign at the moment when the
army be still saved by honorable capitulation You
have done your duty all day do IL still You will reuder
the aTmistice and am waiting for his propositions Be-
heve in my friendship. NAPOLEON.
The General, being then persuaded that only one
course was open that IN retring alone as ne could
still do he might avoid personal captivity but would
abandon the gallant soldiers who had braved death
under his orders during the whole day; seeing also
that in so acting he would i'll perform the functions
of General-ih-Chief placed in his hands by the for
tune OF war; decided TO remain at the head of the
army TO share the lot of ALL and to set his name TO
the capltulation-that terrible act which closes by
an immense disaster, by an unforeseen catastrophe,
one of the most brilliant OF military careers.
