Odd Scene at a Funeral.

At the funeral of young man in
Des Moines, recently, the services for
the dead took place at the dwelling of the
parents After most pathetic address,
which brought tears from the eyes of
all the young ladies present. the minister
inquired if any of the dear friends of
the deceased wished to say anything on
this solemn occasion. A stranger here
stepped forward, and after expressing
sympathy with the friends of the deceas-
ed, remarked that the ways of Providence
were inscrutable, and in this connection
he wished to mention that he was the
agent for 6rst-rate article Of hair vigor
for the State of Iowa. The corpse had
used it for some years with great advan-
tage, and he confidently recommended it,
especially to the minister and undertaken
present. as he perceived they were both
painfully bald. "Shake the bottle, gem
tlemen, and rub the matter well with a
stiff brush, said he. At this stage Of
the proceedings slight disturbance oc.

A Word to Foreigners,

AS there arc number Of foreigners in
this and other sections of the State who
have heretofore acted with tho radical
party, we desire to callitheir attention to
q few facts, which are respectfully sub
mitted for their consideration. a.,
|. 1t is we'll known to you all that the
radicals have taken the ignorant planta-
tion negroes Of this country, who were
born and have lived all their lives in
slave quarters among the cane brakes,
and have not only made them voters
without any preliminary training, but
have made such stringent law to pro-
tect tue negro's right to vote that it will
enable him to cast half dozen votes
with impuuity, where q white man would
be punished for casting more than one.
While the vote of white man may be
safely challenged by any one, it is made
work of danger to attempt the same
thing with negro. While an employer
may threaten, discharge and starvo n
white man who 'disobeys his political die
tation, such conduct, or that which looks
like such conduct, towards negro, j.
visited with the harshest punishment.
In all candor, we ask the honest Ger
man, the hearted Irishman, tht
sturdy Englishmun, is not this true
picture Of the case /? Have not tho radi.
Gals degraded you below the negro, iuas'
much as they have given them privileges

ers, are required by law to fulfill certain
requirements, while the negro, as soon
as he arrives at tho age of twcnty-one
years, is entitled 10 all tho privileges ol

will deny iti-how can you continue te

Political Points OF Fact

All who feel an interest in the ap.
proaching election, should pay some at.
tention to registration. After having
their own names enrolled, they should
see their ncighbors are registercd also.
Democracy is on one side-Radicalism
is on the other side. There is no half
way place To one or the other of these
must you all 60. There is no good in
making wry faces ABOUT it. The choice
has to be made. You only annoy your
friends and provoke the contempt Of your
enemies by any dilly daily. "If 'twero
done. 'twcre well 'twere done quickly"
For or against the white man-whero
do you stand? 81 A.
Demonstration is the thief of time. /"
If you fail to register you cannot vote.
Will you be DISTINGUISHED by your own
negligence : r,
|
There is no crime in being wealthy,
but money is poor substitute for brains
when man wants to represent the First
District ofWest Virginia in the United
States Congress. "a; lg
Every whito man who is q voter under
the law will want to say, by his vote in
October next, who shall be our rulers in
future: but remember, if you are not
registered you will have nothing to say
in the matter. "Why will ye doubling
stand, why still delay?"
General Goff's prime qualification for
office, according to his fuglemeu, is that
be is wealthy Mr.. Davis is poor man,
but rich in those better qualifications for
q seat in gress-unimpeachablo hon
esty and positive talent.
Tho most important business of the
campaign is registration. All qualified
voters should have their names enrolled
at the FIRST opportunity.
DlssoLurIos.-rhc partnership here
tofore existing between honest men and
rogues is hereby dissolved, and every
man left to 60 his own way unques,ioned.
Greeley, Grant & Co. will settle up and
close the concern. The la,o Republican
party is the deadosti thing abtve the
ground, and if anybody wishes to retain
for it any feeling Of respect, they will
hasten to its funeral. So says Donn

here yesterday, to give the result Of The
case Of Registrar Thomas F. Lanham,

for refusing to register William o. Da-
Wis, in our township Of Grant, because
the applicant, in 1868, saw rebel SOL

Davis was then 184 years old, and Jones'
men bad been through tho county two

Tho Commissioner sat on the bench
six hours, heard the testimony Of the
witnesses, and speeches from Mr. Allison
Of your city, and Colonel Blackburn.
from Martinsburg, who was telcgraphed
for BY tue Board Of Registration to de-
fend the Registrar and to elucidate and
ampllty the laws OF U ngress to enforce.
&c. Mccoy. sommcrs, Smith and Nor
row discussed tho law on the rights Of all
citizens to vote who are qualified under
the Constitution Of the State, and insist
ed that Lanham had violated that law
and tue law Of the State. The argument
was very exhaustive ofthc subject, and did
much good in our community.
Mr.. Allison took tho extreme Culd-
well-Boreman view of the matter, aud
was completely demolished. Mr.. Black
burn took moro liberal view of the law.
and told the Registrars and Board that
they were liable, under tho law, for a
wrongful and corrupt administration Of
the law. His speech was very fair.
The Commissioner having heard the
case, very promptly and properly sent
Lanham to answer before tho District
Court Of tho United States.
Henry Boggess, Registrar of Paw Paw
township, also had his trial before Com.

of voters by the Board. The Commits

that Ammous must 60 before The Board

Farmers Meeting, Jan. 10.

Agreeably to previous arrangement,
a mass meeting of the farmers of the
St. CrOix Valley, was held here on Sat
urday last. There was a large delega-
tiOn present, yet few had come prepared
20 act in any particular direction. The
mass had come TO see, to hear and to
set, if action was deemed necessary.
Judge Foster was called to the chair,
and III. S. Comings was chosen secre-
tary. e7
J. NJ. Bailey led off upon the import
auce of united effort and action among
farmers. All other classes and profes.
sions have their organizations, while the
farmers who compose the very founda-
ton of all business relations, are rarely
heard from in bodies. Ii it is necessary
that doctors, editors and even school
teachers should have their associations.
in short, if it is necessary that every 9TH
er class in society should have specific or
ganization for the purpose of self pro
lection, and for the purpose of obtaining
more useful aud practical information
pertaining to the art or trade in which
they are engaged, then it is highly i'm.
por,ant that farmers should not only
form, but perpetuate Farmers Clubs and
Kindred associations.
