amended Constitution and laws Of this
State, j have, since the close of the late
civil war, taken no active or prominent
mart in the politicafstrnggles ofthe State
or Nation; but have been content quiz
etly to follow my professional and agri-
cultural pursuits, looking forward to
the day, which l was satisfied could
not be far distant, when the progress of
Democratic principles would relax and
destroy the policy of Republicanism;
and would restore both States and indl-
viduals TO the full enjoyment of those
rights and privileges which our constr

10 them. CHAs. j: FAULKNER.

To Correspondents.

We are in receipt Of several comMu-
nications and marked newspaper articles
from friends whom we highly esteem,
in relation to the United States Sena-
torship. If we were to publish all Of
these and the numerous letters these
would give rise to, we would have no
space in the REGISTER for anything else
during the next three months. We de-
sire to do justice to all the candidates
for this important position, without
making our paper either the champion
or the foe of any one of the distinguish
ed gentlemen whose names have been
mentioned in that connection. But our
correspondents must excuse us for not
publishing all that is sent tous in re-
lation to the merits or dement's of par
ticular candidates.

Ernr, Hardy Counfy-Judge EdnaiS-
ION for a.. n. Senator.

A correspondent, writing from Hardy
county, proposes the name Of Judge M.
EDMisToN, of Lewis county, as candi-
date for the United States Senate, as
follows:
There is one gentleman whose name
| have not yet seen mentioned in this
correction, who, ! think, would satisfy
all hands in this region 1t is Judge
Edmiston, Of Lewis. He is man OF
ability, honesty, and at the same time a
good, sound, consistent Democrat We
want a man of ability and sound Demo
cratic principles to represent us in the
Senate of the United States, 1t won't
do to send a man there Of the same
small calibre as Boreman and Wiley.
If we do, all our talk about sending such
pgmies as these TO the Senate viii re-
coil upon us. The selection Of United
States Senator this winter by our Legis-
lature will be one Of its most important
duties. :. If they do not elect man OF
ability, who has been al the time good
sound Democrat, they will throw away
all, or nearly all the fruits OF our late
victory. We have plenty Of gentlemen
in our party who are acknowledged men
of talents, and who have also done good
service in our ranks. There is, there
fore, no necessity Tor gong out OF our
ranks to bestow our honorS and high
offices. or to select one within our ranks
of small calibre. Thegreat mass OF the
Democracy will expect Of the coming
Legislature, in the first place, to elect a
sound, consistent, Woodworking Demo
crat and in the second place man Of
aJiIity. Give Us our best man.
We also look for the coming Legls!a-
ture TO meet all the demands OF the
times like men and Democrats. We
want the great time honored principles
of our party carried out, and no truck
ling to policy. We want all Radical
proscriptive laws at once repealed, and
then we want a convention to remodel
our Constitution and to get rid OF the
little miserable trucking Judges we
have now on the Bench. The people
will expect these things Of our party,
and if we fail to meet their expectations
we will be but little better than our def
ant opponents. Over our success and
the bright hopes we have Of the future,
the Democrats Of this section are the
pleasantest looking set Of fellows you
ever saw. MORE ANON.

but as yet have not decided what to do.

President Grant and the McGnrra-
han Fraud.

The Evening Pest clearly sums up,
in the following succinct paragraphs,
the points established against General
Grant by the recently published docu-
ments relating to the McGarrahan
claim, showing how the missiles aimed
at Secretary Cox recoil upon the Presi-
dents own head:
1t seems to be established:
|. That McGarrahan's claim had
been within five years decided unfound-
ed by the Supreme Court Of the United
States, and that Court in fact in its de-
cision, showed that some of the persons
concerned in thave been guilty Of gross
fraud
9 The claim had been officially ex.
posed by two different Attorneys-Gen-
cral of the United States as fraudu-
lent.
). 1t mad been before Congress, as
we showed on Saturday, and Con
gressonal committee had decided
against it.
4. Acknowledgement Hoar officially
instructed Secretary Cox that under
these circumstances he had no right to
deny the demand Of the opponents OF
McGarrahan TO have their claim inves-
tigated.
). Under the opinion of Attorney
General Hoar, Secretary Cox ordered,
not that the New Idria Company should
have their patent, but only that in the
regular course of business their claim
should be examined at the Land Office.
6. Hrcpoa Il seems that one Le'cis
Dent, jrother-ia-Iaw Of tie President,
ran, on to Long Branch, whcre he PreSi-
dent 1oas staying, and in The interest Of
.NcGarrahaa anil his .fell0,c-claimaHts per
suadcd him TO forbid the action Of Secro-
tdry Cor.
I. At the same time McGarrahan in
luced a minority of the judges of the
Court OF the District of Columbia, in
vacation, and in the absence of the ma
iority, and after they had once been re-
buked by the Supreme Court for similar
Illegal interference with the constitu-
tional province Of the Executive, TO
make an order against the Secretary to
show cause why a mandamus should
not be issued forbidding him to have
the new ldria claim examined.
s. Thereupon Secretary Cox wrote to
the President an account Of the case,
believing him to be uniformed of the
facts; pointed out to him that the Court
proposed a gross interference with the
Executive authority and asked him to
come to Washington, call Il Cabinet
meeting, and deal with the business in
n business manner.
9. The President took no notice of
this request, and did not act upon the
information given him by Secretary
Cox.
Thus it appears that the President,
who was probably ignorant of the de-
merits of McGarrahan's ease, allowed
himself to be persuaded by a brother-in-
law to interfere in it to the disturbance
of Justice. General Grant does not
show well in the matter and his inter-
ference is made worse by the fact that |
not only his brother-in-law, but some 1
notorious politicians who happen just
now to be his confidential and Intimate
advisers, are reputed to be concerned .
with McGarrahan in this claim.
But it ought not to be forgotten that !
this whole matter is q false issue set up
by the President against General Cox.
The real issue is the prostitution OF the
civil service; and it is for that that the
President is held responsible by the peo-
pie

Hon. Charles j. Faulkner.

The Martinsburg Valley Star, in terms
of high praise, dominates Hon. c. j.
FAULKNER for United States Senator,
and refers to his long public experience
and his well known ability as proof of
his fitness for the position. His famil-
iarity with the legal questions growing
out OF the formation OF the State, &C
quired by his retention as counsel in
the suit still pending in the Supreme
Court concerning the jurisdiction over
Berkeley and Jefferson counties, would
doubtless make him q valuable advo-
cate of the cause of West Virginia on
the floor Of the Senate. 1t is found,
however, that Mr.. FAULKNER is ineli-
gible, as appears from the following
card:

SOME of the papers are, finding fault

SOME of the papers are, finding fault
with the proposed pre- entation OF set
OF surveyors instruments to General
Grant. To our mind nothing could be
more appropriate, In addition to his
need of these instruments to ascertain
the correct boundaries OF the numerous
bodies Of land which have been pre-
scented to that estimable functionary,
they may be of service in assisting him
to mark out the course leading to re-
election. Evidently something of this
kind is sadly needed at the White
House.

CENSUS FRAUDS.

The cases Of the Assistant Marshals,
whose accounts with the Census Bureau
show them to have been guilty OF max
ing fraudulent entries in order 10 in
crease the per capita compensation
allowed by law, are in the hands OF the
Attorney General, and instructions will
accordingly be issued next week to the
District Attorneys Of the several coun-
ties in which they reside to institute
proceedings against them and press for
a conviction. In every instance in the
returns made by one Assistant Marshal
of West Virginia, the name of the same
person is repeated seven times. Word
having been sent him that his attempt at
imposition had been discovered and the
amount of compensation claimed by him
disallowed, he sought to excuse himself
on the plea that the disputed name had
been furnished him at seven different
houses, and that he had received it in
good faith, not being aware at the time
of the identity of the party. As the
age given was exactly the same
in each instance, the department denied
the plea, and he will be subjected TO
prosecution. Other similar frauds have
been perpetrated by the assistant mar
shals in the thinly settled districts OF
some of the Western States, and, if de-
tected, they will also be prosecuted.
About seventeen cases are already on
the table Of the Attorney General, and
five or six more will soon be forwarded
from the Census Bureau.

TO the Cincinnati Enquirer shows that
one of the Deputy Marshals appointed
to take the census in West Virginia has
been guilty OF some ways that are

count. The name Of the unlucky
official will probably be forthcoming
soon. The dispatch in question is as
