Democratic and Conservative
State Convention.

The citizens of West Virginia who favor the
repeal Of all proscriphve laws now In force in
this State and the enactment Of such measures
rs win give the State character abroad and har.
mony and prosperity at home, are requested to
meet in their respective counties or townships,
at as early day as may be practicable, and
choose delegates TO State Convention to be
held in the town Of Charleston, Kanawha coun.
ty, on
Wednesday, Ihe Sth day OF Jnne, 1870,
to nominate candidates for the offices of Gov
ernor, Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary Of State,
Attorney General and Judge OF the Supreme
Court Of Appeals.
Zach county or delegate district will cast ten
votes in this Convention for ovcry representa-.
tive in the House Of Delegates 70 which such
county or district may be entitled.
The effect of our proscriptive system in driv-
ing large numbers Of useful citizens from West
Virginia and in preventing immigration from
other States, renders the speedy abolition of
that system necessary to the public good. This
call is therefore addressed to all Hbsral.minded
men, whether Democratic, Conservative or Re.
publican, who desire to promote the welfare Of
the State and vindicate the rights of her ctti-
zsns BY appropriate legislation.

The D.,y Of the Treasury.

II the Treasury Department. really
wishes to reform the manners of its otfi-
GERS, then it must begin with the laws
aud with its own regulations. Letit
ask of Congress the repeal of every fine
of mouey, penalty and forfeiture OF
property by which crime is new made
merchandise in the courts. Let 1t ask
the repeal of every clause In any law
which rewards informers with the prop
erty confiscated upon their information.
Let it take in the courts the attitude
of any other litigsnt, and pay its own
costs in all cases, with damages for the
injuries done to innocent men by un-
supported charges. Let it assume, in
its own administration, that men in
general prefer to do right unless there is
a strong motive to wrong, and that they
are innocent unless there is some proof
of the contrary. Let it rely on the
character of its officers and ON the SIM
plicity and publicity of its accounts for
security, instead of surrounding and
tbampering the officers with spies and
overioading the accounts with compli-
catad checks and balances. Let il, in
abort, act in all it's dealings with the
tax-payer upon those general principles
of frmness and equality, which every
citizen is required to observe toward
his fellow.men. Its subordinate officers
will then naturally cultivate code of
manners adapted to and expressing the
spirit Of the laws they administer, and
the collection of taxes will no longer
be warfare of cunning-or sometimes
even Of force-as now.
The above would be Of great service
to the public. The present system is a
pity and . crying shame, which cool
headed and right-headed men, Of what
ever party In politics, win readily con-

The United states and the Laws Of
Foreiga C0untfies. p

An interesting question touching the
rights of American naturalized citizens
in foreign countries is now under con-
sideration at Washington. General
CLUsERET, who was for some time, we
believe, on the staff OF General FIRE.
MONT, removed to France soon after the
war, and there engaged in the advocacy
OF liberal or republican politics, in
strong opposition to the imperial
dynasty. He contributed freely to Es-
publican newspapers, and commented
with great force on the questions of the
day. His bold aud vigorous writings
soon attracted the notice of the author
tiles and they arrested him for the al
lodged violation of one of the many
laws passed for the protection of the
French government. General CLUs-
ERET, being recognized as o foreigner,
was amenable to a statute passed in
lS49, permitting the government to
exile such an offender without trial,
and upon its own mere motion. His
case was investigated by council of
ministers, the Emperor presiding, and o
decree pronounced expelling him from
the county. This was in June, 1869.
General CLUsERET ebeyed the order and
returned to the United States, suffering
in consequence of the edict against him
loss of property aud other pecuniary
damages. He now desires this govern
ment to take such measures as will
secure to every American citizens while
abroad fair hearing and trial for any
offense imputed to him under any cir.
cumstances. In the sketch of the case
furnished by Washington correspon-
dent there is no mention of money
redress sought by General CLUsERET,
and it appears that he only wishes to
have his grievances made the occasion
for ass erting a general principle of
American policy which shall apply 10
all cases of the kind that may hereafter
occur.

Death Of Bfshop Kingsley.

l. "A dispatch was received this after
Koon, at the Office of the Western Chris
tiaa Adrocate, 100 West Fourth street,
Eshnsuncing the death, at Beirut, Syria,
Of Rev. Bishop Kingsley, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. The Bishop, IN
company withDr. Bannister, Of Evans
ton, ILL.,, and several other Americans,
had Just completed the tour of the Holy
Land, and was on his way to London to
attend the British Wesleyan Conference.
The dispatch states that his death was
from heart disease, and very sudden.
His age was about fifty.eight. He was
elected editor of the WesterH Christian
Allocate in 1856, serving eight years,
In 1864 he was elected one OF the Bishops
fthe NJ. Z. Church, iu connection with
d. W. Clark and Edward Thomson.
Bishop Kingsly, as editor, preacher
and presiding officer, had few equals
and no superior. His elevation to the
episcopacy in no way interfered with
that easy honest and frank manliness
of Christian character which made him
admired and loved wherever known.
His death will be mourned throughout
the entire country.-CiReinHGti Chronicle,

The womnu Question

Men, in their inmost souls, feel more
than women can, tho change which
must como over the world, when the
publicity they know and feel in their
own lot, comes to turn the whole race
out of doors. They themselves live now
in the reverance, admiration and love
they feel for the delicate, the private,
the domestic nature of woman. They
foresee the shrine where they worship
D: famed; they feel the bosoms where
they are warmed growing hard and
cold. They see the homes where alone
their public cares arc soothed and made
tolerable, converted into disprivscied
parts Of the great hotel Of life. They
hear already the sweet harmony Of diff
ferent voices dying away in monotonous
unison. They feel the romance, the
poetry, the sentiment Of life oozing out
under the blows aimed at the chief hoop
which binds the slaves of society to.
gether; and they knew that woman
without their consent is abont TO dis
crown herself queen of her own home,
in order to usurp barren scepter in the
kingdom OF public life. 1t lis idle to
warn, to propbesy, TO complain. The
fruits of the tree af tho knowledge of
good and evil are fair to the woman's
eye, as of old; and the temptsr is no
less serpent; but though we shall still
go doubtless hand in hand with the
modern Eve, when she expels herself
from the garden of Gods own plan ting,
we know better than she the charm Of
the Paradise which we shall lose to-
gether, and the coldness and emptiness
of all that lies outside! 1t is only some
divine interposition that can avert the
mad determination that does not mind
running mar, in rashly protesting
against the fat which made humanity,
male and female,"-H. ". Bello,cs, in Old

IN commenting upon the late election
in Connecticut, the New Haven Register
says, "Negro suffrage lost Mr.. JEWELL
many votes, and he gained none. There
are thousands of Republicans, who have
always voted against negro suffrage in
Connecticut. Many cfthem have declar-
ed that they would not vote with the Re-
publican party, after negroes were al
lowed to vote" And they keep their
word right Dobly. The white men of
this country do not endorse negro suf-
frage, or favor admitting negroes to
schools, and all places of amusement,
and they will show this feeling at the
polls, if proper channel is opened for
such action.

Oueeu Victoria,

There are good many people in this
country who will be sorry to hear that
Queen VIcToRIA's health is declining
fast. She has been o good woman in
all the relations of life, little foolish al
times and some times wrong, but the
world is better for her having lived in
it. She has always been the friend OF
America, although she has often been
poworless to express it other than by
words. Her death will be none the less
deplored because it places the Prince OF
Wales, who would scarcely have been
tolerated by his miserable relation
GEORGE ", upon the throne.

GENERAL SHERMAN, in letter writ.
ten in opposition to LoGAN's bill for
the reduction of the army, says that his
pay is hardly sufficient to maintain his
family decently. If General SHEER
MANS family cannot be kept deoently
on SIS, 900 year, he should resign and
allow his place to be filled by some one
whose family could be kept decently
upon that triflipg sum. Chief Justice
CHASE can support his family
very decently on $4,000, little
over one-third of the salary re-
ceived by General SHERMAN. But it
excites our sympathies to know that
poor "CUMP," who, before the war, was
often troubled to know where to raise
$50, is now compelled to deny his fam
lily many of the necessities of life in
order to live within his $4,000 per an
mum income. We weep for him. We
do indeed.
