Registrar of that township, and tried be-
fore United States Commissioner Romeo
Ii, Freer; the charges against him being
ample, the Commissioner found him guilty
and held him over under bond. to answer
an indictment before the United States
District Court.
The Democracy of this county, have
found out to their sorrow, that the Enforce
ment Act, under which they started out to
cut big swarth in registering rebels sand
arresting Registrars, is two edged sword,
and that the other sideis sharper than their
self assumed edge and will leave deep
wounds, in the way of indictments, fines
and imprisonments, that will take large
amount of sorrow, suffering and trouble
to get rid Of. Now as they have begun
the thing themselves. they can rest assured
that the utmost penalties Of that Enforce
mont ActwilI be used against them. Cen

Pr. PLEAsAST, WEST Va, Aug, II, 10.
FRIEND ATKINSON On last Saturday
evening, Mr.. Hereford, the Democratic
candidate for Congress, favored us with a
harrangae upon the negro. He did not
abuse the negro as much as Democrats
generally do, but confined himself moro
particularly to drawing fearful pictures Of
negro equality; he drew one very touching
picture of little girl with her arms around
her fathers neck begging him, for Gods
sake, to go aud vote for him, Hereford,
and thereby save her from negro equality;
be tried to make us Republicans believe
that We were not responsible for the Eff
tccnth Amendment, but that Sumner had
imposed upon us and of course we must
vote for Democrats in the future; ho most
pitoously complained ofthere being q nc
gro cadet Mt West Point and wound up his
speech, after having said negro 4S times
Burdctt and Phelps were on hand and
we're two as manful looking renegades as
mans eyescvcr beheId. BurdetE looked
like he wanted to be commissary again
and Phelps resembles nothing that I ever
seen except an old SOW thathad undertaken
to eat her pigs, but found she had several
more than she could cat; and DO will never
get all those radical pigs of his doyourcd
while he lives.
They are compelled to Confno them
selves strictly to the negro, GU account Of
their past record being SO damnably black,
and Of course they will do no harm to the
Republicans. = i s. 8 IS &
More, when something happens. We
have about $4,000 inhabitants in our
county-so says the census taker.

told by the trustees that it made but little

WE l'liIND DISTRICT.


TIIE THIRD DISTRICT.
From what VIC learn, it seems that Gen.
Whether is doing effective work in this
campaign, in the mountain counties Of this
District. tits safe for US to say that tho
result this fall will be most gratifying.
We doubt not General Witchcr's majority
in the District will be larger than it was
in 1868. The Democratic papers say they
arO confident; they arc shouting Hereford
and victory. They dub him Major"
with the hope Of catching the soldier vote.
but when asked where Hereford got the
title Of MAJOR" whether in the Union or
Rebel armies, they obsiinattly rcfuSs 10
tell tho people anything about him, where
he came from, who he is, or how he got
his title Of Major" We are crcdibly
informed that he left this State carly in
1861 and went to California, in order to
escape the war, rs he was "peacc man"
asd did not want to take sides, and that bis
title Of "Major" is one that he gave him
self. In California heremaincd until the
clOso.of the war, and returned to this State
sometime 1867. and settled in Monroe
county. We have no cyideucc.that he cv-
er'ronacred any service to his government
either military or otherwise; nor can tho
people oftle District got him orthe Dem.
ocratic orators, or Democratic newspapers
to inferm them. We hope now that they
are SO confident of victory, they will tell
the people who this gallant "Mpjor' is.
The people want 10 know.
This thing Of anticipating victory is by
no means new freak for the Democracy;
they huyo-met SO many defeats since 1860,
that they have learned their only opporlu-
nifty for jollifcation, which is to shout vic
tory until the day of the election, they
knowing full well that after tho vote is
counted on the fourth Thursday in Octo-
her, 1870, there will be no victory for
them.
limo possible contingency can HorcfOrd's
election take place. We know that DEM
ocrats have notoriety for voting early
and often, and in forcing in fraudulent
votes. But at this election the Republi,
cans will watch the Democrats. No DEM
Ocratic repeating" will be allowed.
The hope ofthc Democracy that the Re-
publicans of the Third District would le
divided in this CANVASS has been frustrated.
The division which threatened our party
in some portions of tho district has been
adjusted. There is no division in our
ranks now. By full Republican vote
Witcher can be returned to Congress by
over 1000 majority. There may be few
Republicans who have gone over to the
Democrats, and will probably vote with
them; but We can balance them With Dem
ocrats who have come over to the Rcpub.
licun party, numbers of whom can be
foundin every county, and particularly in
Kanawha county. Besides under the OPP
eratious of the 18th Amendment we have
over 1000 added to our voting population,
nine-tcnths of whom will vote with the
Republican party.
Now, under these circumstances how
eau the Democracy hope to carry this Dis
triCt, much less the State?
