Two old friends. both Of whom had
been old lias Wings. met few days ago,
and after talking Of old times, the follow
ing conversation occurred: a'lr
qTon,-"Well. Dick. / hear you are a
Democrat; can it be true I" 'n8 a-' b.
b Diek-"Well, Tom, I'm afraid I'll
have to plead guilty to the Charge"
Tom-"Well, never would have be-
lieved it. You aud l were old Whigs.
and have Tough. the Democrats for thirty
years, and now for you to knock under
and join them looks curious enough"
Bick-"Yes, Tom, it does look little
curious. but it is only curious in looks.
| can't see where | and the Democrats
disagree now in anything, and why
should We be enemies when it takes us all
to save the country? The truths. Tom,
I've cast the whole matter up in my
mind, and have come to the conclusion
that man must no,0 be one of three
things: radical, a Democrat. or a
id tool" tg71:e5E

belongs ~ We wish he would, for as
Gear -os we can learn, he is "COnserva-
tive" up the river, q a"Radicap at home,
and when he expects TO get Democratic
votes, he is certainly Add fool"
s Colonel A. W. woodrord, ag'ar
Our candidate for Sheriff in this county,
deserves as much at the hands Of the
Democracy as any mau in it. Four years
ago he was elected to fll the Office fer
which be is now D candidate; but by the
arbitrary action ofJa radical Board of
Supervisors, was deprived Of it. 1t was
not long after this till he had the oppor-
tunity Of taking seat in the Legislature
by similar proceedings; but ho proved
himself too Lighminded aud honorable q
man to receive Office under such cir.
cumstances. His conduct was a fitting
rebuke to the radicals ofthis county, and
gained the admiration and esteem Of all
honest men in that party. It proved to
the unpredjudiced minds Of Lewis county
that the Democratic party was composed
of men who governed themselves by the
dictates of principle, and was of more
service in inducing changes from radical
ism to Democracy than all the speaking,
electioueering and wire pulling tha! has
taken place since the war. Colonel
Woodford, by this act should have en-
deared himself to all Democrats, and we
hope that the service thus rendered will
be gratefully remembered by them on The
9th Of October.

The hscal year commencing on the
3Olh of June, 1868. was the first year in
which the Democrats of Lewis county had
control of our county finances and to
show the people how the pledges of econ
omy then made by the Democracy have
been kept, we now propose to contrast
the years lSG7-S, when the county was
in radical hands, with 1S69-7O, since It
has been in Democratic hands, and let
the figures speak for themselves. Read
them, and then say which party is enti-
tied to your support:

The Eight Hour Movement.

A meeting is to be held in Boston, on
the 18th instant, to agitate the proprie-
ty Of making eight hours a legal day 5
work. Among those announced to
speak in favor Of it are WENDELL PHIL
LIPS, JULIA WARD Howe, WILLIAM Hen
RY CLAIMING, Do LEWIS and otherwell
known reformers. We gather from the
circular issued the conclusion that an
eight-hour law will bring on condition
of human affairs so delightful in every
way that even hopeful Christian will
not care q fppenny bit whether the
millennium is ushered in this year or q
thousand years hence.
Through the moral causes which will
he set in motion by such law, we are
told, wealth will be more equally dis
tributed and rapidly produced, poverty
will be abolished, human life lengthen-
ell, and getting a living be made easy
These will be the direct consequences.
Secondary results will be equally salts

money, and consequently debt will cease
to exist, and with them will disappear

ness Life.

The cares and laborS of business life are
apt to tell severely upon the health and
of the ardent, energetic bust
ness man, and when the need of some suS-
tainin. agent is felt, stimulants that cause
only temporary eXhilaration, and leave
the system in q state of partial collapse
when their first effect has passed of, are too
often reSorted to. AS certainly rs fire leaves
behind il reSidium Of ashes, the use of the
adulterated liquors of commerce produces
premature exhaustion and decay. Touch
them not. Tone and regulate the over
taxed vital machinery with Hostetter'S
Stomach BittcrS. In that wholesome elixir,
the alcoholic element, which is the purcst
derivable from any source, is tempered by
the choicest tonic, apCrient, anti-bilious and
anti-fcbrilc vegetable extracts and juices.
To strengthen, recruit, SOlace ana purify
the system is the mission OF the great Vege-
table specific. When the stomach l. in Il
healthy state, the bile flows regularly, the
bowels perform their office properly, and
the telegraphic fibres of the nervous system
are in perfect working order, an enormous
amount Of labor can be borne without risk

Negro Equality.

The black clowd Of negro amalga-
nation which was once only as big as a
mans hand, has gone on spreading
until now it covers the whole political
and social heavens. SUMNER can't
sleep so long as the word white exists
in any State Constitution or law, or in
any department Of politics or society.
At the Fifteenth Amendment Celchra-
ton in New York, not long since, a
letter was read from him in which he
held the following language: Il do
mot think the work finished SO long
las the word white is allowed to play
amy part in any legislation; so long as
lit constrains the courts in naturaliza-
ton; so long as it!rules public.convey-
"ances-steamboats and railroads; so
"long as it bars the doors Of houses
taxed by law to receive people for food
land lodging, or licensed as places of
amusement; so long as it Is in our
common schools
Now, the Senator proceeds 10 carry
ont his professions by his practice, and
in the Senate ON Friday he introduced
bill supplemental to the civil rights
bill, which he pronOunccs the Grown
ing glory OF his anti-sIavcry record
1t provides in effect for absolute equal
ity of all persons in the enjoyment Of
all kinds of proper privileges, without
distinction on account of race or color
1t requires all hotels, restaurants, rail

academies, common schools, colleges,
etc, to treat all alike, and IMPOSES pen
alties, punishable on conviction in Il
United States court, for any refusal of
any privilege to any ono on account of
he or she being Of African descent.
The bill is so sweeping that it prohibits
cemeteries even from being devoted to
the sepulture exclusively of white peo-
pie or Of colored people. The bill was
referred to the Judiciary committee,
from which its author hoped it would
soon be reported and passed into a law

Editors Register:
SIRs-Not having seen communi-
cation from this county for some time'
| thought it would not be inappropriate
to inform you of the condition and pros
perity of this vicinity.
The citizens Of New Martinsyille
have deemed it wise and expedient TO
re-organize under the old charter Of
lS4S, incorporating the town, and for
that purpose an election was held Sat
urday, the 9TH inst, to elect a town
Council. In the election Of the coun
ell, politics were entirely discarded, the
issue being Of a local nature.
Business here has been very lively,
and the towns rapidly improving. We
now boast of three saw mills, one grist
mill, and one shinglc factory and also
a wooden factory in the course of cree
ton. which will be completed by the
10th of June. Under the management
of the experienced and energetic John
Cherry, formerly manager of the Sis
tcrsvillc wooden factory, we have no
doubt but that it will be Il success, and
render satisfaction to the public at
large. Notwithstanding the unwise and
party legislation, our citizens are being
aroused to new energy, and seem deter
mined to make West Virginia the New
England of the West
Energetic capitalists, who would de
velop the resources of the country, will
meet with warm reception by our citi-
zcns
The Fifteenth Amendment is work
ing admirably here. There seems 10
he dissatisfaction manifcsting itself In
the ranks of the Republican party, in
consequence Of the eniranchlsement OF
their sable brethren, and the continued
opposition of the white trash. The
people do not seem TO have any very
particular preference for our Governor.
ANY man, who is an honest, unfllnch,
ing and Woodworking Democrat, can
not fail to receive the united support OF
old Democratic Wetzcl, whose Democ'
racy has never been questioned for a
moment. The aspirants for county
offices are very numerous. They are
already in the field working hard tor
their neminaton-all Sangrlinc of sue
