ONE OF the causes that have contribu-
ted to make the present Constitution OF
West Virginia odious to large por-
ton Of the people, is the fact that its
adoption was, to some extent, compelled
by force of arms. Public meetings in
opposition to its ratification were dis
persed by the military, and prominent
citizens were threatened with death if
they made speeches against it. There
are certain Radicals in the State who
would like to play the same game OF in
timidation to prevent the people from
now holding a Convention, but they
sadly mistake the temper of the times
and forget that the FOREMAN dynasty is
now numbered with the things of the
past.

Editors oil the Register:
Scarcely ripple disturbs the seren-
ity of the political surface. The terri
bic commotion and disturbed elements
anticipated by Democratic opponents
upon the accession Of that party to
power have not been realized; we have
not approached as near the crater OF
the volcano under Democratic rule as
foreshadowed. As the country desires
little more Of the same sort of rule,
we can set down a Convention as a
foregone conclusion. We cannot get a
discussion of four and half seconds
duration on that question, as it takes
Just four seconds for the Convention OPP
ponents to spit out their parrot-like ar
gument of too much expense" But
such balderdash, coming from a party
that almost bankrupted the State and
never stopped at cost" to carry out
their hellishly proscriptive oppression
and discriminating policy, is rather in
bad taste, TO say the least Of it, and
won't win. | can inform the people
throughout the State that as to the
good old Democratic counties Of Bar
bour, Randolph and Grucker, on the
Convention question everything Isl
lovely and the goose occupies her for
mer elevated position"
And while Convention is conceded
on all hands, l do not think it amiss or
premature that we should begin to
discuss the merits and dement's o!
those we may wish to represent us there
in, and without being presumptuous or
desiring to disparage the claims Of ally,
before many good and deserving men,
who would do honor to an intelligent
constituency, take the liberty OF
bringing to the attention Of the people
of this Senatorial District the names of
John Brannon, Esq, Of Lewis, and
Samuel Woods, of Barbour, as candi-
dates to represent US in the Convention.
Mr.. Brannon is decidedly the best
posted and one of the ablest men in the
District, he is young. full OF vim, a Wig
orous debater, a deep thinker, OF fine
legal attainments and from expert
encc one of the best parliameutarians
in the State. He was for many years
member Of the Legislature of old Vir-
ginia, when negroes and scallawags oc-
cupied the galleries, nd attained a lead
ing position therein, serving las chair
man OF the Finance committee with
much ability.
Mr.. Woods is scarcely less known in
the District than Mr.. Brannou, and in
the opinion of many Is only second to
him in political experience. He is in
the full vigor of manhood, Of large ex-
perience, fine lawyer, q good worker,
of sterling integrity, unwavering in his
political faith. and would if elected I'M
doubleday do the District great honor
and himself much credit
| know nothing Of the inclination or
desire Of either ofthe gentlemen named,
nor do 1 care. The people have q right
to say who shall serve them in their
councils, and no mar, dare refuse, and,if
the people of the District would advance
their own interests, let Brannon and
Woods be the men. Is s4s

THE story and half frame dwelling

Charters r. R., depot, in this place.
caught fire from a defective fiue be-
tween u and / o'clock last Thursday,
and before material assistance could be
rendered, was almost entirely destroyed,
scarcely anything but the walls being
left standing. 1t will cost about $1,000
to put the building in its former con-
ditien, and we are sorry Mr. Hood has
no insurance 1t was with difficulty
the adjoining property was saved.
A NARROW ESCAPE FROM INSTANT
DEATH.-We regret to learn that our
esteemed friend, Thomas A. Bartilson,
OF Hopewell, met with an accident that
might have easily been fatal. Mr.. B.
was working with his portable saw mill
upon the farm of John Hemphill, and
when engaged in repairing band the
timbers OF the mill gave way, precip'
itating the roof and rafters upon his
head and shoulders. Mr.. McCryeth
SAWYER, who was just outside the mil
ran to the rescue, and soon succeeded
in removing the rubbish SO as to release
Mr.. B., who was found badly crushed
and in a state of insensibility. In q
short time he recovered sufficiently &c

of Claysville, was called in and express

condition is critical, he will be likely to
recover. We sincerely hope he may

GENERAL JAMES III. CLANToN testified
before the outrage committee at Wash
iugton that the only intimidation he
knew OF in Alabama at the last election
was by Radical negro voters against
those of their own color who voted the
Democratic ticket. The negroes are
generally more intolerant than the
whites. They are more easily led by
demagogues aud knaves and induced to
commit any atrocity to which they may
be urged.

HOUSE AND BARN BuRNED.-On Tues
day oflast week house and barn upon
the farm of W. S. White. Esq, of Mt.
Pleasant township, was burned down.
The house was occupied by son of
Mr.. W., and the family, in starting a
fire, had used some light, combustible
material which was drawn up the Chin
nsy. and set FIRE to the roof, resulting
in the burning of the house and barn.
all the furniture in the house except a
cooking stove was saved, and almost all
the farming implements, wagons, DC,
that were in the barn were gotten out

THE political campaign in Kentucky
is being prosecuted with unusual vigor
this year, by reason Of the fact that
about thirty thousand negroes will vote
at the next election in that State, for
the first time. The Democrats expect
still to have thirty or forty thousand ma,
jority upon their State ticket, but it is
probable that the negro vote will enable
the Radicals to make some gain in the
counties and in the legislature.

scare quite so easily as he seems to
think they do, and he would better

Some years ago there was stationed
in Canaan, New Hampshire, q some
what eccentric Methodist preacher
known as "IIappy John"--a Jealous, de
vout man, who had one little failing,
when preaching he took no note of time
and would frequently break of the thread
of his discourse to allude to any thing
that at the moment might particularly
attract his attention. On one occasion,
when walking up and down the aislcs
between the services, eXhorting, he motto.
ed one of the leading members of the
congregation quietly seated in pew
cleaning his nails with a penknifc. The
sight was annoying to "Happy John,'
who frequently cast his eyes toward the
brother. AT last, unable to endure it
longer, he called out from across the
house: "Brothcr Johnson, for goodness
sake PIT up that h0ite, a1d attend to
these SOulS.'
As | grew older, | became more len

if he thought little spirits now and

of travel in "The Heart of the Cont

improved on the old yarn to the effect
that "thc weather would have been
