Grcenbrier County.


We learn from the Greenbrier Inde,
pendent that the registrars and super,
visors arrested for violating the provis,
ions Of the enforcement act have been
bound over to answer indictments in the
United States Court at Charleston next
month. The Independent also states
that the Board Of Supervisors Of that
county has, by formal resolution, called
upon the Governor for troops Cor what
purpose is not stately and it is probable
the soldiers will be sent.
We are sorry to have to record these
things and hope that in this, as in
every other case throughout the State,
the suits against registrars may be
dropped. Not that they are not right
and just or that the men who have so
shamefully violated the law and out
ragged the rights of legally qualified white
voters in the State should not he pun
ished for their crime, but a new order
OF things has been decreed in West
Virginia and the crimes Of which the
people Of Greenbrier complain can never
be repeated. We can afford to be mag
unanimous and, having ample security
for the future, look over and condone
toe events of the past.
1t is an absolute truth, however,
that there is nowhere in the State a
better disposed or more patient and
long suffering people than those of
Greenbrier county. 1t is also true that
no county in the State has been more
cursed and outraged by political scoun-
drels than Greenbrier. The notorious
NAT HARRISON lorded it over the people
there during the term of his authority;
tae no less notorious JOE CALDWELL
h, 3 insulted every decent man in the
c nty; and last summer the people OF
G. nbrier were afflicted by the settle
NJ, e. in their midst OF pes;,leut
individual named RUcEER, who
ma, during a number of years past dis
PLAYED remarkable faculty for creating
disturbance and disorder wherever he
went. Almost the entire white popula-
ton of the county has been disfran-
chised and the negroes have have been
drilled to obey the behests of CALDWELL
and RUoKER. Several incendiary fires
whica occurred in Lewisburg recently
led to the holding OF a citizens meeting
and the formation of volunteer corps
of special police who patrol the town
al night.
II troops are needed at all in Green
brier it is for the protection of the peo-
pie against the lawlessness of CALD-
WELL, RUCKER and company, who seem
to have grown desperate now that their
power has been wrested away. We be.
lieve, however, that the people Of
Greenbrier are able to take care of
themselves without violence or disorder,
and trust that the reproach OF the pres
ence Of United States soldiers at any
point within the borders of the State
may be speedily removed.

was missing for days. Hunger at last
drove him forth and he sneaked
into the house, close singed, begrimed,
and looking SCARED and devilish, but
ike some other great personages, he
never got over his sudden elevation
and fall, but became a sadder and
wiser monkey. If ever Pug forgot
himself and was troublesome, you had
only to take down a powder-horn in his
presence, and he was off to his hole
like a shot, screaming and cbattering
his jaws like pair of castanets.

NEW INvENTIoNs.-In the older coun-
tries of Europe, whore labor is cheap, the
inventive faculties are not stimulated to
the extent so coinmon in the United States,
Wherever civilization extends, American
ingenuity is recognized as leading that Of
all other nations in the number and value
OF its labor-saying appliances.
The three great triumphs of the Eleetri,.
Telegraph, the Lightning Press, and th,
Sewing Machine, are but shining stars in
the constellation of useful inventions that
encircles our republic.
with weekly list of applications for new
patents that is numbered by hundreds, it is
matter of importance to the ingenious in
ventor that he should place his business in
the hands of n solicitor who is not only well
versed in the present details of the Patent
Office, but he should seek one who is az
Jdh concerning the mutitarious letters
patent heretofore granted, and whose sue
cess in difficult cases in the past is a guar
antee of favorable result when doubt ul
points are at issue.
The card of II. II. EDDY, ESQ, Boston, In
our columns to day, is that of one of the
most successful solicitors OF American and
Foreign patents, and his long experience
in this line, aside from his connection with
the Patent onice, renders him amply COM
petent to furnish all needed information,
while his character for business integrity
Is too well established TO need comment
from us.

Editor Boston Journal: 1t is stated that
there is proposition 10 sell the Vermont
& Massachusetts railroad, and that the sew
eral parties seeking to purchase 1t are the
New London Northern, the Connecticut
River, and the Rutland & Burlington rail-
road companies.
The question arises whether it is not to
the interest of Boston and Massachusetts
that this road should be held undor the
control of the city, and that it should be
extended further on, so as to reach the
great lake basin at Sackett's Harbor The
extended route would lead from Brattlebo-
70 to Jamaica, from Jamaica to Manchester,
from Manchester to Pawlet, Granville,
North Granville, Fort Ann and Caldwell
on Lake George, and thence due west to
Sacketts Harbor.
The entire line from Boston to Lake On
tario would thus DO about three hundred
miles, or just as long as the New York 81
Erie railroad; and it would represent
capital of some ten millions of dollars,
against eighty millions represented by the
latter. Its terminus at Boston would be
day or two's sail nearer the three hundred
million inhabitants of Europe than New
York is, and it would cost but a small frac-
ton more per ton to deliver wheat from
Chicago at Sackett's Harbor than it would
at Erie. Boston stands in the same relation
to Lake Ontario that New York does to
Lake Erie. The rise in the price of land
between Caldwell and Sacketts Harbor
might probably be made 10 pay for the con-
struction of the road.
The road will be needed by the time that
the Hoosac tunnel is completed, and proba-
bly, before. 1t is not the increase of popu-
lation in New England and New York
alone, whose combined population thirty
years hence will be twenty millions, that
will render this route necessary, but the
rapidly increasing millions of all the lake
basin, between whom and Europe this
route would be one of the best and most
direct thoroughfares.
We should hope, therefore, that Boston
would not permit the Vermont & Massa-
chusetts railroad to escape from its control,
but would take measures to secure its ex-
tension, by the route indicated, to Lake
Ontario. NOT STocKHoLDER.

We are glad to notice that Gen. Hurlbut,
the new minister to Columbia, in his pre-
sentation address, urged as strongly as di-
plomatic etiquette would permit, the i'm
portance and necessity of doing something
for the long talked of Isthmian canal. The
Pacific Railway will do much toward Civ
ing us the trade of the East, but there must
always be large proportion of bulky mer-
chandiZe in this traffic that will seek water
shown what may be done to provide an ar
tifical highway for ships, and it will be
singular if the ingenuity and enterprise of
our people are not stimulated by the work
of NJ. De Lesseps. Even if the Suez canal
can be improved and deepened to accom-
modate the largest vessels, the troublesome
and dangerous navigation of the Red Sea
alone will make rival route desirable and
profitable. 1t has long been the custom of
the faint hearted to take il for granted that
the Darien isthmus presents insuperable
obstacles to canal construction, but almost
as little is really known of the country now
as in the days of Balboa The only attempt
at survey ever made by our government
was Strains expedition of eighteen years
ago, and that was so i'll provided and mis-
managed that nothing but the terrible
suffered and the great courage
shown, prevented it from being ridiculous.
1t is family rumored that our govern
ment have sent or will soon send out anoth-
er expedition which will do its work in
thorough manner. The route by the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua is especial
ly to be studied and it is hoped that with
very moderate system of locks a feasible
route may be found, and one which may
be built at an expense which a reasonable
traffic will reimburse. This done, the ter
rors Of Cape Horn will be history only, and
commerce will receive portion
at least of the stimulus which 1t so greatly
needs. Every one will rejoice that the adj
fully recognizes that "peace
also hath her Victories" The hearty sup
port of the country will be given to any
plan that looks toward revival of this
long talked of work.-Freemdn.

Referring to the system of contracting the
