The. Close Of The Legislature.

The West Virginia Legislature has
closed its labors and given very appa,
rent satisfaction. 1t has transacted
what business it had to do in business
like way, and the members have gone
home about their business. They have
evinced little common sense il moth
ing else. The measures enacted 10y
them have been more Of progressive
than q conservative nature, which Is
saving a great deal for the Democratic
party. Their doings had a tendency to
breathe a more healthy atmosphere in
the body polite than is generally Gus
tomary from Democratic Legislatures.
OF course, their whole career at Charles
ton is hardly altogether approvable, but
taken all in all, they deserve the thanks
of the people.
The people of the State can congrat,
ulate themselves that their Legislature
has not been unworthy of them, and
given its care and attention TO their own
welfare, instead of the monarchical
spirit OF clique pervading everything
manipulated by two or three individu,
ais All just governments derive their
powers from the consent of the governed
that is, the whole people. And il
there ever was State Legislature free
from party supremacy, and identified
with and controlled by the people, the
last was of West Virginia. The Re
publican party can heed the lesson sci
forth, and endeavor to preserve better
organization than lately, aud not over
look the fact that the people rule,
whether as a mass or as party organ
ization.

The Outrage committee, having
obtained authority to continue lis social
ed investigation, will not examine any
additional witnesses until next Tuesday
The debate in the Senate on Wednes,
day saws the Washington Patriot, dis
closed the very important fact that the
Radicals seek to have the proceedings
conducted in secret, for purpose which,
from recent experience, is very easy to
understand Their effort is to convey
q false impression to the country, and
to produce the belief that important
revelations are being made, when the
old inventions and stale caIumnies are
only rehashed at the public expense.
Mr.. Scott, chairman of the committee,
is represented by the New York Tribune
to have stated in the Radical caucus,
that it was proven before the COM
mittee that an organization of 10000
Ku-Kl lux existed in North Carolina.
When intcIrogated upon the subject in
the Senate, he refused to admit or deny
the statement. But it is absolutely
false, and Mr.. Scott knows there is no
such proof, Notwithstanding the per-
Jury of some of his vagabond witnesses.
One fellow swore he had "heard such
an estimate made, and it is upon a mis-
cradle allegation like this that Mr..
Scott dared to 90 before caucus and
pervert it into truth, while he was, at
same time, guilty Of concealing, the ev-
idence which overwhelmingly branded
il with deliberate falsehood. 1t has
heretofore been supposed that Mr.. Scott
had some respect for his own veracity,
bat this illustration would seem to
put him on the same moral level with
his notorious colleague, Mr.. Simon
Cameron.

The Golden Rule.

The golden rule, for those who are suffer-
ing from lung disease OF any sort is to take
medicine in time. II will not do to put of
from day to day, the use of medicine
which has been known TO cure some OF the
most stubborn diseases of the lungs to
which we are liable. That medicine is DR.
KEYsERs LUNG CURE. Infallible in the
firststages of lung diseases, a cure in the in
termediate stage, and an alleviant in the
last stages of pulmonary consumption.
The cost OF Il bottle is mere trifie, and
many one has been snatched from an un-
timely grave by needing the salutary advice
here recorded. Dir. KEYSER's LUNG CURE
is the " sine qua non " of lung medicines
and the use of a single bottle will always do
good, can never do harm, and will cure an
ordinary cough in less than day. DR.. Key
ser's principal Office for lung and other
obstinate chronic diseases is l67 Liberty
street, Pittsburgh. $3.50 per bottle. Ifyour
druggist does not keep IT, send five dollars
to Dr. Keyser, AMI he will send four bottles
securely boxed, by express, with full direc-
tons how 10 use IL.

COMMISSIONER PLEAsANToN has been
doing nice bit of jobbery of late. He
has prescribed new lock to be used in
all distilleries, which can only be pro-
cured from a friend of his in New York,
at the moderate cost of sixteen dollars
aud seyenty-fve cents a piece. Each
distillery will require from ten to thirty

THE wall OF RADlCALISM.

The Radical members of the late
Legislature have put forth what they
call an Address to the People OF West
Virginia" which is about as absurd a
mixture of falsehood and toollshness as
even they could devise. 1t Is the eX-
piring wall of Radicalism and, IN It's
loose and contradictory assertions as
well as in its disjointed and incoherent
STYLE, gives evidence that partial paraI'
vsis had already taken place and that
reason was already benumbed. The
partv was IN orttca!O mortiS when this
last will and testament was penned, ana
the work bears such evident signs OF
insanity and infrmitv OF purpose that
it will be difficult to have the document
admitted to probate in any court in
Christendon. 1t does not exactly "bab-
bic of green fields but 1t proceeds
upon the assumption that the
people OF West Virginia are greener
than anything in the vegetable
kingdom, and "babbles' to them in a
very verdant way. 1t is curious jun,
ble of the Declaration of Independence,
BURKE's Impeachment Of WARREN
HASTINGS, MtelIig encer editorials and
little shipped off bits OF wisdom from
the old Richie Press; the whole con-
stituting huge "barbaric yawp' with
which the unhappy ghost of the Radical
party took its flight to that region
where even summer clothes will be
found superhuous.
In fact, if the Radical party had not
been already in the agonies of dissolu-
ton when these grave Senator'S and ies'
tive members OF the House OF Delegates
wrote and published this Address, it
would have died anyhow from sheer
disgust They all wrote it-every man
OF them-nine Senators and thirteen
Delesates-for no one man could be
guilty OF such incoherency. The docu-
ment appears, however, to have been
prepared at Charleston on the last day
OF the session, and it is barely posi-
bic that the Establishments OF 1.-THE
permanent seat and what DANIEL
WEBSTER styled "the accident Of hos
pitality" may be in some measure an
swerable for the yagaries of the docu-
ment in question. This will, perhaps,
account for its incoherency and its fail

the Democratic party for having

made. The Address says of the DEM

two or three or half dozen palpable

intend to, nor can it, inflict upon its
opponents any evils it is not willing to
bear itself, nor does it propose to build
up its prosperity at others expense.
The party will not ruin the State,
because the party embraces the major
ity of tie people of the State. If it dies
by its own hand, there will then be a
chance for these gentlemen to resurrect

his body, completely severing it and
otherwise mangling the corpse in the
most shocking manner Mr.. Davis was
married and lived in Alliance, Ohio,
where his remains were conveyed by
the next train. He was middle aged
man and has been braking on the rail
road for fourteen years, and finally,
through no neglect Of his own, he has
lost his life. No inquest was held here,
and consequently we shall never hear
why the railroad company does not see
that the different parts Of its machinery
are in good order.

horrible affair has just this day hap

her a round sum for planning the Ten,

which the country has heretofore
given to General Grant and other mill

This committee agreed last session to
