CHARGED WITH ADuLTERY.-On Thurs
day evening Thomas II. Stanton, OF
Martinsville, came to this city in search
of his wife, Mary E. Stanton, who had
eloped with W. E. Nelson, the husband
of Stantons sister After a considera-
BILE search the parties were found at the
Christman House, occupying the same
room, and were arrested and lodged in
Jail. Saturday afternoon the guilty pair
were taken before Squire Gillespy for an
examination.
Mrs. Stanton is rather dashing
looking brunette, of about twenty, and
appeared as reckless of consequences
and as regardless of being stared at by
the large crowd of men present as ii
she had been made of brass, instead oil
mere flesh and blood. Her maiden
name was Brann. Her alleged para,
mour, Nelson, is a rather good looking
fellow with dash of don't-care-a-centa,
tiveness about him that made him as
regardless of consequences as Mrs
Stanton.
From the testimony we learn that
Stanton went to his work on Thursday
leaving everything as usual at home.
About 9 o'clock his wife took their two
children to Stanton's mother and tolc
her to have Stanton keep them unit
she got settled when she would send FOL
them. Returning home she made
pretty clean sweep Of everything in the
house and cleared out with Nelson
When Stanton came home, about four
o'clock Thursday evening, lie found hl'
house deserted and his wife and brother
in-law gone.
, 1t appears that Nelson and Mrs
Stanton came to Wheeling too late II
take the 5 o'clock train on which they
expected to leave the city. After wand
ering around until about 10 o clock the!
went to the Christman House, wher'
thew passed themselves off as husband
and wife, and so obtained lodging ant
passed the night together. They SAT-
they intended leaving the city on TIT
early train on Friday morning. Befor'
the hour for the leaving Of the trail
they were arrested and lodged in jail.
The examination resulted in the two
being required to give bail in the sun
Of 500 each for their appearance a
the March term OF the Circuit Court
Failing TO give the required security
they were returned to the Jail.
As they were going out OF TIT
Justices office, in company with tn
constable, Mrs. Stanton turned to he
husband and said, "By-by, Mr.. Stanton
Come up to the jail and see person
won't you"
Nelson's wife, a pleasant looking
young woman, was present during tn
trial, but mo testify kept herself in tn
back ground. She has one child, w
believe.

A DEPoT INCIDENr.-As the train
over the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road glded into the shadows o.
our magnificent Union depot on Thurs
day evening, a gentleman and lady
stepped from the platform and entered
the eating house Of Messrs. Dinner,
The lady was faultlessly attired-the
gentleman ditto-and sported, in add
ton to his fine store clothes, a magnifi
cent pair Of Burnside whiskers and
dropping moustache OF raven hue
which had been the envy Of the male
and the admiration Of the female por
ton OF his fellow travellers from the
moment of his first appearance on the
train-the envy of the mail bipeds run
ming so high as to reach even the gen
tlemanly conductor, who was not slow
in intimating 10 officers McCabe and
Fix that the man was a fit subject for
suspicion, and needed little watching.
These two gentlemen, ever Jealous
for the faithful performance of their
duties, stood not on the order Of their
going, but went at once for the uncon-
scious pair, and it was but the work oil
moment ere the gentleman was in the
strong grasp of Long Barney" while
the gallant Fix politely collared the
lady gently escorted her to another por-
ton Of the depot.
Having got the pair separated, Bar
ney, struck with the gentleman's mag
nilicent Burnsides and moustache, could
not forbear placing his hands on the
aforesaid whiskers for the purpose OF
bestowiDg a gentle caress, when lo the
whiskers fell to the ground, leaving the
gentleman's face as innocent Of hir-
suite appendage as a youth in his first
adolescence. Here was 60! And
thereupon Barney proceeded to inter
view him.
The gentleman name was Powell
BENJAMIN Powell-from the smoky city
of Wheeling-and he was largely in
terested in rolling mill operations in
Newark he was on his way 10 Cincin-
natl on little business; the lady was
an old friend from-Newark. Was the
lady his wife? Oh, no! but expected
she would be-some day! She was
going to St. Louis to visit friends; he
was escorting her to Cincinnati--that
was all But about the whiskers ? He
had assumed the disguise to prevent
certain interested parties in Newark
from spelling his little trip in company
with his intended wife-some day
Meanwhile the gallant Fix proceeded
to pump the terrified fair one. Was the
gentleman with the whiskers her hus-
band? Oh, no, but expected to be
some day She was on her way to St.
Louis, had been married, but separated
from her husband ten years ago. He
was living with his third wife. Her
name was Mary Turner, but she ex-
pected to change it-some day.
Upon consultation, the officers came
to the conclusion that if everything was
not right at present, it probably would
be-some day and the handsome pair
were permitted to resume their journey
10 peace, minus the whiskers, which our
friend Barney retained, thinking posi-
bly, that, to gentleman in HE profess
sion, they might be of use-some day.

THE BULLETIN STILL SLEEPING.

There is just one point IN the
Bullstir's diatribe of yesterday morn
ing which is worthy sof semi-serious
comment. It quotes from General
Sherman the following: eff people
liked to have the laws made for them,
they liked to have something to do with
the making of them themselves" and
adds, the closing sentence is the only SEN
sible remark made by the General in his
entire speech. If he believed what he
said, he would use his influence toward
removing the Acknowledgement of the
Southern people, and put stop to the
making of laws for the South by negro
legislatures and by Congressman elected
only by negroes"
The only meaning to be extracted from
this sentence is that the colored inhabi-
tants of the South form no part Of the
people thereof; for, if the people of
country naturally desire to have some
thing to do with making the laws under
which they live, and large proportion Of
the people of the South are colored, there
is certainly nothing unjust in the fact Of
colored men being members Of the Legis-
lature. But the trouble with our Bohr-
bonish contemporary is, we fear, that it
has not yet learned that colored folks are
people," being still laboring under the
delusion that ''the leople" of the South
consist of its planters and ex-slaveholders
only, and their families.
Wake up, neighbor; wake up! There
has been war in this country within the
last ten years, and things have changed.
A few pen strokes, and not a few sword
strokes, have transformed some millions
OF chattels into ''people," and these peo-
pie are helping to make the laws under
which they live, as you say they ought to
do. There has been, moreover, a fifteenth
amendment to the constitution which
guarantees ito them that right, and no
amount of incredulity ON the part of old
fogies and Bourbonists can ever dispossess
them of it. Wake up, we repeat, and get
file of old newspapers to read. It is a
task too great for the patience of ordinary
mortals to inform you in detail of all that
has happened in this country since you
have been asleep.

When the Patriot attempts to put words
into our mouth it will be necessary for
it to forget all about its Democratic die
tionary, and to seize upon some elevated
moral platform where proper language
and generous sentiment abound. These
slang expressions are very well for Demo-
cratic papers, but they do not belong to
our columns, and none that know the
REPUBLICAN will ever believe it when we
are charged with the utterance of low
ideas in coffeehouse vernacular.
