The NORTH ADAMS CHINAMEN.. Mr..
Sampson, of North Adams, is so well pleased
with the result of his introduction OF Chinese
labor into his shoe factory, that he will, with
in few weeks, send for fifty more workmen
from California. OF the seventy-two China
men he has now at work, all but four or five
are doing finely; the incompetent ones he
will send back to San Francisco. These ORR
entails continue peaceable, Industrious, quiet
and eager to learn, and in every respect plo~
ingly contrast the other foreigners who, un-
der the Crispin organization have almost ru-
ined Mr.. SIMPSONS business in the last few
years. There are now many who can talk in
telligible English, who could not utter word
when they arrived here, and, save few ex-
ceptions, they show a very accessible and
teachable spirit A Sunday school is carried
ON in the factory. The recent visit OF two of
their countrymen, Ar Shove, the prosperous
Boston tea merchant, and another in the
same business at Cambridge, was very benefi-
cial to them. The merchants arrived on a
Saturday, and spent Sunday with them, ex-
planned TO them the character and condition
OF the Crispin order, their own position, their
duties and prospects, and lett them quite en-
lichtened and still cheerful. Ar Shove. by
the way, has married an American wife and
permanently settled here. 1t should be men
toned, as commentary on the ignorant
Crispin cry about "taking the bread from our
children's mouths to feed Aliens" that there
are now more laborers employed in the shoe
business in North Adams, exclusive of Chi
nese, than before the stlike.-Springfetd Re-

WHAT DOES IT MEAN7

From the official proceedings of the late
Convention of the Shepherdstown clique of
the Radical panty, published in the Shepherds
town Register, we clip the following -
J. V. Undertook, William G.. Butler and
Jos. Barry, were brought before the Conven-
ton for the office of Recorder. The first
ballot resulted as follows: Butler 8, Under
donk SO, Barry 40 second ballot, Butler -,
Undcrdonk %, Barry AZ third ballot, But
Ter 0, Underdonk A, Barry Al. Mr. Under
donk having received a majority Of the votes
cast, was declared the nominee.
BY this it will be seen that on the second
ballot eigAty-one votes were cast, torty-tro of
which were for Barry yet he was not de-
clarcd elected, and third ballot had, by
which Underdonk was declared the nominee.
This is very curious, and we cannot think that
Barrv's Irish blood will permit him to tamely
submit to such an outrage. Who counted the
ballots

BOARD OF REGISTRATION.
Sec'y Harper's Ferry Relief Con
Harper's Ferry, Oct, 6, 1870.

Changes in the Board of Registration of
this county have become so common of late,
that it is difficult, if not altogether impossible,
to keep pace with the caprices of corrupt
and partisan Governor. The Board of Regis
tration for this county, up to the latter part of
last week, consisted of Mcssrs Rhoderick,
Traynor and Lindsey-as hard a crowd, we
thought, as could be we'll gotten, together
But from some cause they did not suit, and
Gov. Stevenson arriving in Shcpherdstown on
Saturday, they were displaced and anew Board
appointed, consisting, as we learn, of Messrs.
Bushy, Tacy and Lindsey. But again, 10y.
atty is not satisfied, and the axe must fall
Accordingly We learn that at late hour on
Saturday night-a fit time for such work
this second Board was decopisated, and a
third appointed. OF this new Board We have
not been able to get certain information, but
understand that it consists of Messrs w. G.
Butler, Jos. Fleming aud Jas. II. Shepherd.
We suppose when tho Governor reached
Harper's Ferry last night, another change was
demanded, and the guillotine again put in
operation. Such is West Virginia loyalty.

FREE SCHOOLS-BOLIVAR TOWN
SHIP,
Levy Voted Down!

Pursuant to previous adjournment, there
was township meeting held in the Bolivar
school house Saturday night, the 9th inst, for
the purpose of levyng special school tax for
the current year, to run the Free Schools of
the Township, when Emanuel SPaugler, Esq,
was called to the chair, and John H. Strider
appointed Secretary. The meeting being or
gained, Mr.. J r. johnson, a former teacher
of one of the schools, rose and addressed the
meeting upon privied gcd question, in which
he held the board of education up as delin-
ouents in the exercise Of their duty. Capt.
Grub, one of the board, followed in some
conccding explanatory remarks. Much crimi-
nation aud recrimination was INDUCED in,
after which motion was made by Capt. Grub
to levy a special tax of 20 per cent. on the
500 Of taxable property, which motion was
amended (by Mr.. Geo. CrowD to the effect
that no levy be made-the latter being carried
by an overwhelming majority of even the loyal
voters of the TOWNSHIP p-which question, we
regret to say, was raised by Capt. c. and his
disappointed few, and much factiousness was
manifested by them.
This rebukc and Withholding of any fur
thcr fund from the support of the schools
seems to have 3seu provoked by fragrant
abuse OF power and assumption of authority
by the present Board of Education.
Subsequent to adjournment of the forego-
ing properly called meeting, Capt. Grubb and
his small party remained upon tho glound
and instanter placed themselves in form, for
we presume, the execution of one of those I'M
lawful acts which has characterized certain
men and party in this county and State ever
since the war, viz: to tax the people against
their consent-a very ntiRepublican-but
black Republican doctrine.
In this, however,, they were fo;led, the
masses soon rallied, and after brief but very
pertinent address and expose from E. w.
Wilson, Esq, who is quite clear and cogent
speaker, showing the recusants that any up
peal to the courts for q mandamus would be
met by satisfactory evidence, of the action of
legally called meeting, and that the present
board had transcribed their duty and out
ragged the taxpayers by giving to "Storer
College" three hundred and fifty dollars of the
school fund, to one of their officers twenty
five dollars per annum more than the law
allows, and thirdly, the running of one school
in tho township, taught by Capt. Grub, for
nine months, while the other sic schools were
only kept open five or six months. AS a
former friend and supporter of Free schools
VIC regret, this maladmnistration of power,
and general bad school law, which places it in
the hands of the irresponsible few to opprcs-
sively tax the many-such law can only be
productive of great harm and violent dis
sentions, and unless modified must lead to
trouble

understanding was on very important and
material question. rs subscribers of sfocs
the Pennsylvania companies would have risked
their capital.whieh might, or might not nave
turned out to be a profitable Investment
This would have depended on the success or
failure of the road. IF the road did not suc>
coed they would have suffered by the depre-
citation of their stock. They would have
shared the loss with the other stock holders.
Should it prove success they would have
shared the benefit of it in common with other
share holders. as lenders of money to the
road and mortgage creditors, they feel them
selves to be secure whether the stockholders
divided dividends or not. Holding the position
in the latter case of preferred creditors, they
could but feel themselves guaranteed from
loss whatever might be the fortune of the
stockholders. The road, even if forced to
sale to satisfy their lien, would certainly, with
the county investment Of S240, 900 realize
enough to pay off their loan. If necessary
they would themselves become the purchasers,
and thus secure for their advances the whole
property of the road We can very we'll COM
prehend why Mr.. Faulkner refused to &C.
quiesce in such an arrangement without the
consent Of the people of his county unequiv-
ically expressed. 1t would be putting to
hazard the whole subscription of Berkeley
county. The Pennsylvania companies, how
ever, it seems, adhered to the position they as
sumcd in the controversy and firmly refused
to submit to subscribe to stock. Thus it APP
pears that no aid will be rendered except as a
loan, and in this shape it is announced it will
not be accepted unless with the consent of
the people of Berkeley, which they are not
under the circumstances, likely to give. This,
we believe, is fair statement of the case.

RICHMOND, October 7.-Governor Walker
in his message to the Legislature, urges that
body to take prompt measures to relieve tho
suffering produced in the various parts OF the
State by the recent unprecedented food in the
James and Shenandoah rivers. He calls upon
the members from those portions of the State
visited by the terrible calamity to at ence
form themselves into a relief committee to
collect funds and to distribute the same to the
most needy and suffering. The matter was
referred to joint committee of both houses
for consideration and action.
