The annual session of.tbe Independent

convened at Mounduillo, on Tuesday NOR

A public temperance meeting was held
in The NJ. r. Church, on Wednesday ev-
eniug. There wss quite large attend
ance, and considerable enthusiasm was
manifested.
Before adjourning a hearty vote ofthankS
was rendered the kind people Of Mounds

delegates. / must say that I have never
seen their kindness exceeded auywhere.-
None, Of our large number Of delegates,
we're permitted to 60 to the hotels, but all
were taken to comfortable homes, aud care
fully provided for during the session =
Nearly every delegate conceived the idea
that be was extremely lucky. aud bad got

Quite number Of the Delegates visited
the Pcniientiary, but all got safely out
without striped suit. The work is pro-
crossing finely. and tho building begins to
look quite graceful, notwithstanding its
great size.
AT the closing up Of the session, as the
delegates separated for their homes, all
over the State, amid the shaking Of hands
and good wishes. there was encouragement
and determination plainly visible on every
face; and we have no doubt they will carry
the leayen home with them to their respec-
tive Lodges. The temperance work cM

tration Of Bro. Elliott, for bis zeal is dtek-

The ratification of the Amendment woulc
cost almost nothing; what tho Convention
would cost, 10 direct expenses and in thC
new Legislation rendered necessary by 1t

"A letter to The, Chicago Tribune gives

President, aud proceeded to enforce his

economy, intelligence, and invention in
the machinery, prompt payment of all

in short, practical transfer of the system
of merchants counting room to the Office
of the railway President; to organize and
work the road as purely industrial en-
terprise, free from political influences, and
its staff and laborers to be organized up
on a rigid system Of promotion for merit
or seniority. The President resolved 10
examine every subject and account in per-

Of recompensiug himself moro than his

His Directors have several times insisted
upon voting to raise his salary to $40, 900
q year. but Dir. Garrett has invariably de-
clined upon the ground that it would be an
infringement upon the general scale. The

way aud boldly, in the face Of all opposi-
sion. with threats to break US ddwa. DC,

glove It TO be the quickest, .surest and most
economical way in which to bring about
this much desired result. That this Am

or rejection in the spring. we have not the
sieast doubt. And when it is submitted,
we trus. no Republican will allow his pre-
JUDGES to govern him in the matter. Let
no base appeals deter you from your duty.

The.lack otdfmncss on this question, is
what lost the State to the Republicans at
the late election. Had our State Conven-
ton 10 their platform declared in emphatic
terms in favor Of rebel cnfranchisemeut,
and pledged the party to the adoption aud
ratification of the Flick Amendment, and
then nominated Hon. Archie Campbell.

can party would have swept the State by
au overwhelming majority. We have al
ways believed that Mr.. Campbell was the
strongest man 10 the party. And one en-
pertaining such liberal views as be did
could not help buswiu the race. We sup.
pose BY this time that the party sees it in
thet light Passion and prejudice should
nd: have controlled their better judgment.
We will have more tO-s1y upon this sub.
jeclsat another time.

o. 4. sENATOR.-

- ~ oAatNfA We
Wesee by several Of our Democratic ex-
changes, that our fellow-county citizen,
Hon. John Hall. Is prominently spoken d,
and BY some Of them most heartily epdor-
sod for The position Of United States ssna-
Tor from West Virginia. We are aware
that itispons Of our business whom the
5tIegislatute may choose, neither bavO
We any hope that our views, suggestions,
or hints, will have any influence or effect
upon that body but like other people we
have ourchoice among che representative
luen Of that party Or choice is for that
man whom We knoNto be moderate aud
eoBeilistoty IN bis views upon all the lead .
ing questions Of the day, and one WHO was
during the war a firm, ouspokeu friend Of
the Union, aud one who is to-day a Union
man 10 principle and IN fact. We believe
there Is no man 10 the Democratic party,
who has done more to build it up in The
State, than BE. Hall, and bis election
to the United States Senate would do
more TO give confidence to the loyal
and conservative men who have been
acting With The Democratic party, than
any thing else they could do.
Those men acted With the Democratic
party, because they were opposed to
the further disfrapchisemcnt Of tho men
who were engaged in rebellion, after the
war had closed. Styling themselves Con.
servatiVes. they slowly aud surely drifted
into the Democratic party, but did not par
lske Of any.of the State rights doctrines
oltthat party. The Conservative element
Of the Democratic party is its strength. =
For without this element the Democratic
party proper could muster no strength 10
the State, Iii would be a weak and insig.
niicaut organization. Yet, by evidence
before US, weisce the old line Democrats
have managed the cards and played them
we'll, and secured to themselves most Of the
Offices, whether Intentional or not, we are
unableto say. But. then, taking their
rocentaeSion as criterion. we say that
Mr. Hall has very much less shrewdness
than we have given him credit for, If he
docs not sec by this time that the Demo-
cratic party have no Offices for any man
who done as much as he did for the Uniou
caase, aud for the building up Of The new
State of West Virginia. And we venture
the prediction that Mr.. Hall will not be
so great fool as to asa anything more Of
the Democratic party.
And while he is far preferable to any
Of the gentlemen named, for tho position,
yet. we think bis chances for election to
tue Senate is about asgood as ours.
Parties are uugrateful. The men who
do the most to give them respectability and
power. are seldom rewarded. Those who
do but little, are the successful ones.
