Of the Governor. told him
e was not; he said then that he would
ave nothing to do with Stevenson's
irty work, and refused to come to town
nd sit with Shomo and Lock, as a
,ember of the Board
Respectable Men Not Wanted.
Governor STEVENSON has displayed a
emarkable sagscity in the selection Of
be instruments of his tyranny in the
ounties in the interior Of the State
Even where good and honest men could
'e found and were recommended for ap-
he has rejected the recon-
nendation and Dshelled out some sub
ervient scoundrel upon whom to be-
tow his commission. 4 correspondent
rom Phillip says
II am authorized to say to you, and |
lesire Stevenson to answer and say
it is true, or not, that Spencer
Dayton, a member of the Senate; 10.
,eph Teter, Jr., member Of the last
House OF Delegates; j. Fl. Glaseock
Clerk County Court, and Levi Wilson
Recorder, all Republicans, did not send
TO him (Stevenson) a petition asking
that q Board of Registration should bt
selected from seven names sent him
one from each township, all Of whom
were Republicans except one, who wal
a Democrat, and whether they did no
ask the appointment OF the Board OF
behalf OF the Republican party OF Bar
bour county, and whether he did no
treat the petition with silent contempt
and in the face Of that petition and th'
request of the petitioners, appoint TIVE
men that no gentleman would associate
WITH
stevenson ~ Chief Registrar.
Where the Governor has doubt tina
the proper officer will do the work, h,
finds some one else to put the machin
cry of disfranchisemcnt in motion, ant
the art of a forger is called into reqnisi
ton, to summon citizens before tn
Board.
mr.. Williams, the President Of tn
Board of Registration in Barbour coun
ty, declared in the streets that the LEI
ter purporting to have been written b.
him to the clerk, directing him to not
fy one hundred and forty eight person
to appear and prove their loyalty, ,ca
a forgery, and that he knew nothin
about it,"
The Effect I'm Harbour.
As the outrages committed by HOI
DEN and KIRK in North Carolina pre-
duced such reaction az made tn
State overwhelmingly Democratic, =
the infamous tampering with the RICH
of legally qualified citizens to vote il
this State is likely to result in the over
throw Of Radicalism. No decent o
honorable man can approve the cours
which is being pursued by Governo
STEVENSON for the advancement Q
his personal ends. A correspondent
speaks thus Of the effect Of the recen
exploits Of his creatures in Barbou
county: 81 guarantee that one hundre
true and loyal Republicans will vot
the Democratic Ticket, solely on &C
count of Stevenson infamy, and treach
cry, and base attempt to disfranchis
men whose loyalty has never been ques
ton men, some Of whom have beef
voters for fifty or sixty years. Thu
Democratic vote in Barbour will be in
creased two hundred and fifty votes
Rascality and treachery in Barbour are
played out. The people are aroused
and | here make prediction that OF
the fourth Thursday in this month Bar
bour will send up a clear majority o.
from three to four hundred"
The Effect I'm Berkeley.
The Board of Registration in Berke
ley county struck from the list hrenty
four legally qualified voters. All OF
these are ,ohite men; they have been
voting heretofore; their loyalty and
right to vote has never before been dis.
puted. Among them is Mr.. A. J.
THOMAS, who was on last Saturday
as the Peoples Reform
for Sheriff of Berkeley county
The Nep Era thus speaks of the effect
this high-handed outrage is likely to
have: .
"The very means which they have
adopted to defeat Mr.. Thomas will re
suit in his triumphant election. He is
q candidate before the People, will be
triumphantly elected over all opposi
ton, and qualify as The nert Sheriff O
Berkeley county. If there had before
existed any doubts of this, the action o
the Board of Registration on Monday
removed them all and made it fact a.
fixed as the stars. The people of the
who oppose Prescription are il
no mood to be trifled with. They vii
rise in their might and sweep down, AZ
with bosom OF destruction, all who
endorse or favor Proscriptive measures.
How. itiis Regarded In woodiC
The Parkersburg Gazette says: 9TH,
conduct Of the Board OF Registration
in Wood county is q mockery of free
