A western Paper Throws Cold Water
on q Romance of Italy.
From the New York Evening Post.l
An Italian correspondent sends US thu
following:
We have just had the denouemaent o.
what did promise to be quite a little ro.
nance. Those Americans who passed
last winter at Nice may remember the
excitement caused by the mysterious
Disappearance Of Mrs. Hill, who was
supposed 10 have drowned herself, or to
have eloped. The Var was dragged fol-
her body, and runaway couple OF sus
picious manners were pursued to
Gsnoese hotel; but all searches proved
vain until within few weeks, when the
husband learned that the Lost one was
safe and sound in Roman convent So
he came on, had an interview with the
Secretary of State, and demanded her
surrender. Antonelli said : Certainly,
If abe chooses to go with you;" and
gave him sa order to that effect. Mr..
Hill went, saw, aud did not conquer, as
the lady declined to go home, alleging
that she was not happy with him, and
was happy where she was; he cried. out
II was Mortars csse, and threatened the
Eurlish fleet. etc. but Antonelli simply
replied: Mon possaasus your wife is
of age. and we csnnot do violence to her
inolinations." All the poor man could
learn was the manner of her eight. She
had suffered some family sfflictioB, got
relipious, hired fishing boat and coasted
down to Ciyita Vecchis. At Rome she
was cordially received, and so the tail
has come to a prosaie ending.
Two New York ladies. Mrs. Hicks
and Mrs. Ward Burnett, initiated Mrs.
Hilps example last week, at least so far
es to become Catholics; but neither OF
them has expressed any desire to re-
nounce the world, the flesh and the devil
Ia the extentof conyent1al seclusien.
From the st. Leuis Dsmocrat-i
The MIRA. Hill referred to by the corre-
snondeut ID tho wife of Britton A. Hill,
ESQ, Of this city, agoinst whom suit OF
divorce is pending and VAL be tried IN
two weeks. The Italian correspondent
makes several erroneous statements IN
the above extract, which it may be
nroner TO correct. 1t is not true that Mr..
Hili weut TO Europe after receiving news
that his wife vas drowned, consequently
he could not have had an interview with
lhe Pope's Secretary Of State. Dor threat
ened Aptonelli with the thunders OF the
Briash leet. The facts are that Mr.,
Hill on hearing that his wife was
crowned, wrote to officials at Nice, offer
inc a reward of 5000 francs for the re-
covesr ofthe body, After ewhile he re-
eeiyed intelligence that the isdE Wss not
drowned at aIl, bat bad gone avPy in

Spread the Truth.

Some medical men insist that IL Is undig-
nified to advertise remedy, however vail
liable IL may be. Queer reasoning this. II
Is like saying that an article which the
world needs should be hid in corner-thal
benefits and blessings may be too widely
diffused-that the means Of protecting and
restoring health should be a close lnonop-
oily, and not accessible to all. The argu-
mcnt is bad. Ii Is worse than that, II is
inhuBldR Suppose Hostetter's Stomach
Btters- an absolute specific for dyspepsia,
biliousness and nervous debility-had
never been known beyond the repertoire of
the faculty, what would have been the con-
sequence? Instead Of curing and invigor-
atiug millions, the good effects of the prepa-
ration would have been confined to a COM
parative few. There is the highest author
ity for saying that light should not be hid
under buShel; that whatever Is excellent
should be placed as city on hill, where
all men can take cognizance of Ii. II Is
upon this principle that the Bitters have
been advertised and continue to be adver-
tised In every newspaper OF any promi-
hence in the western hemisphere, and that
the spontaneous testimonials in its favor
have been translated into all written lam
guaSes. Thousands enjoy perfect health
to-day who would he languishing on beds
OF sickness II the newspapers had not spread
ant and CORRECTIVE far and wide. Suppose
profit has been reaped from this publicity.
Is that any argument against It? II the
public health has been protected: II lives
have been saved; If the feeble have been
strengthened and the sick restored, great
GOOD has been accomplished: and who so mean
as TO grudge TO eXertions thus directed their
fair reward?

Cause and Effect.

Colds are the effect Of INSTRUCTED perspira-
ton. The symptoms are so generally I'M
derstood that nothing need be said on that
point. But colds are easily taken, and I'M
less great care is exercised second cold
will often be contracted, or In other words,
one cold will run into another, and con-
firmed cough ensue, bringing on straining
and racking of the lungs, and the produc-
ton of tubercles. Although many thou
sands of persons are drifting through these
symptoms towards pulmonary diseases OF
dangerous character, yet the majority think
that they are troubled with nothing but an
ordinary cold, which will remedy itself and
pass away. Fatal delusion !-the rock on
which many a life has been lost. See to 1t
at once that your cold is attended to. Use

Bring Ont the Vote.

Every Democratic vote is needed on
next Thursday and arrangements should
be Immediately perfected in every coun-
ty to bring out the full vote. A glorl-
Gus triumph awaits the enemies OF Rad
icalism, if full vote of those now reg
istercd can be brought out The vic
tory is within our grasp. We have but
to reach forth and seize it. II the Rad
ical State and Congressional candidates
are elected, that result will be mainly
due to the inaction Of the Democracy.
The Radicals will lose the vote Of
white man for every negro they bring
to the polls. This was the result in
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio and Indiana, and it
will be the result in West Virginia.
Let us see that the white vote is polled.
Get ready for next Thursday. Leave
nothing undone than can be done
before the day of the cleo
ton, and then our work upon
that day will be the more effective.
We must prepare to let our ordinary
business alone on that day, and devote
our undivided attention and untiring
efforts to bringing out full vote and
thus securing the triumph Of the princi-
pies for which we contend. Think, every
day, Of the approaching election and
what YOU can do towards winning
Democratic victory. Talk with mem
bers Of the various committees and
learn how your personal services may
be made most effective of good, and
then let us sweep down upon the foe
with that united and resistless force
which is the inspiration Of good cause
and the consciousness of certain victory.
We can elect our whole State ticket, if
we but put forth an effort commensurate
with tie importance Of the occasion
and the advantages to be gained

The Campaign in Missouri.

The Cincinnati Commercial (Republi-
CAM, speaking editorially, in yesterday
mornings paper, of the campaign in
Missouri, where the issues between the
parties are the same as that in West
Virginia, has the following remarks,
which we commend to the attention of
Republicans here: 1T is too late in TIE
day for any party successfully to main
tain the unrepublican doctrine of ex-
Guiding half the white population of a
State from the suffrage, after the entire
black population have been invested
with it. If there are risks connected
with universal suffrage they are risks
which must be borne, from fear of doing
worse Ii the Republican party cannot
hold its own on a platform of universal
amnesty and universal suffrage, it should
look to its creed, and see whether or
not it is true to the principles of its orig
inal organization So wide departure
from those principles as is involved in
the denial of the majority rule in gov
eminent, is heresy fraught with dan
ger"

Restoring Names 10 the List.

The Fairmont Liberalist says: Some
people apologize for the infamous action
of the Board of Registration. by saying
that the Board had no right to restore
the name of any voter who had been
stricken off"
OF course such people would apollo
gize for and defend any outrage com.
mitted in the interest of the Radical
party, no matter what it might be. 1t
may astonish some Of them, how
ever, to know that Attorney Gen
eral CALDWELL has too much
regard for his reputation as lawyer
TO coincide with the Board of Regis
tration in any such monstrous and alb
surd doctrine as that claimed by the
Board and its apologists. In con-
versation with Mr.. CALDWELL a few
days ago, we asked his opinion as to the
power of the Board Of Registration to
restore the names of voters who had
been stricken off. He replied that they
certainly had that power and that his
written opinion to that effect had been
furnished to Governor STEVENSON and
scattered thrsug bout the State

stevenson I'm Berkeley.

Governor STEVENSON is always ready
and willing to interfere with Boards of
Registration when such interference is
demanded in the interest Of disfranchise-
ment, but when his power 10 invoked to
protect the right Of citizens to vote he
hesitates and evades the performance Of
his duty. In Jefferson county, he has
had three distinct Boards Of Reglstra-
ton during the past three weeks, IN the
endeavor to cut down the list OF voters
in that county so as to elect Radical
ticket, but he refused to interfere to pro-
tect the rights of the people of Berke-
lev Here is what the Nao Era says:
Governor Stevenson went from this
place to Shepherdstown. He left on
Friday. Before he left he was waited
upon by large number Of our citizens,
OF both political parties, who laid before
him the outrageous action of the Board
of Registration of this county. When
the facts were brought to his attention
when he was told that the name Of
A. J. Thomas, the Peoples candidate
for Sheriff, had been stricken off, to-
gether with the names Of men who had
served in the Union army, and had
honorable discharges, and old citizens
who had been voting since the war,
he professed great indignation at
the course of the Board, charac-
terized it as outrageous, unjust
and unfair, and concluded with
saving that the matter ought to be
remedied: that he would do whatever
was within. his power to correct the
wrong. He left the committee, who
had called upon him, with the remark
that he would consult with the leaders
of his party in this place, and see what
could he done to remedy these great
wrongs perpetrated upon our people.
Well, what has Governor Stevenson
done? Nothing. He left on the first
train for Shepherdstown, and at the
solicitation of his Radical friends in
Jefferson county, he has changed that
Board three times since he left this
place. Now if he has the power to
change the Jefferson Board, why did
he not exercise ii in this county, and
show that he was earnest in his con-
demnation of the course pursued by
Pitzer, Jack and Hardin He informed
the Committee that he kne,o the action
of the Board was condemned by all the
leaders of his party here. Then why
did he not correct the wrong? Simply
because he did not desire to do 1t, and
because the leaders Of the Radical party
in this county did not desire to have 1t
done. We can arrive at no other con-
clGsion.
They admit that their Board of Regis
tration has committed great outrages on
the rights of our people, and yet, hav-
ing it in their power, refuse to remedy
the wrongs. Now, let the honest and
fair-mindcd voters of the county take
the matter in hand; let them show their
disapproval by voting against every man
on the Radical ticket.

The acts Of the Legislature of the
State, rather than the local Boards of
Supervisors in the several counties, are
responsible for the larger portion Of our
high taxes. We have in every county
now five or six officers where there was
only one before the war, and each of
these officers receives salary larger
than would be necessary to hire one
man to perform the duties of
five or six. This is the result Of Radi-
cal legislation.

C0unfY Taxation.

The Radicals have had complete con-
troll of the Legislature of West Vir-
GINA during the past seven years. They
have created swarm Of new and use
less offices in every county, and thus
imposed upon the people a most burden
some taxation. In even Democratic
counties the local Boards Of Supervisors
have not been able to escape the conse-
quences of this Radical legislation, nor
free the people from the burdens it has
imposed The high.taxes which, every
where in West Virginia, are eating out
the substance of the people, are the re-
suit of Radical legislation, no matter
whether the officers charged with the
collection OF the tax be Democratic
or Radical. 1t is the legislation that is
to be blamed for the imposition Of these
burdens upon the people.

county that the Board OF Registration
in that county has restored to the list
of voters the names of about seventy le-

illegally stricken off. 1t is to be hoped
that this intelligence may not reach
Governor STEVENSON in time for his
interference before the election.

Naturalization and Registration.

The Board of Registration of this
county meets on next Monday when an
opportunity will be afforded to those
who have been recently naturalized, OF
having their names placed upon the list
of voters.
A special term of the Circuit Court
will also commence in this county next
Monday, when those who are entitled
to naturalization papers can receive
them and be registered on the same
day.
We hope that these matters will be
promptly attended to by the proper par
ties and such arrangements effected as
will secure to every legally qualified
voter his right to deposit his ballot next
Thursday.
