There nrohahly will not be before the

There probably will not be before the
the Convention a more important and
interesting, and we might add a more
perplexing subject of arrangement
than a wise and judicious system
of county organization. The counties
of West Virginia are small
where not small in territorial
area, they are small in popula-
ton. With few exceptions they are
mountainous and thinly peopled. The
problem to be solved is to fix upon
some system that will adjust itself to
the peculiarities Of our own condition;
one that will supply efficient local gov
eminent without harassing our people
with foreign institutions burdensome IN
their provision and unsuitable to the
character ofour country and the condi-
ton Of our population. Upon this sub
ject we expect to see the highest Wis
dom and sagacitv of the Convention
manifested, and if it shall succeed in
striking out system for West Virginia
that will accomplish all these results, it
will entitle itself to the eternal gratitude
of the State, and make every man hide
his face that has ever sought TO thwart
this great movement Of CONSTITUTIONAL
REFoRM.-New Era.

The Warning has been
Needed.

Since the exposure of the attempts made
by certain INSCRIPTIONS local dealers, to
palm Offtheir coarse astringents, made from
cheap and impure materials, in the place OF
the great national tonic, Hostetter's Stem-
ach Btters, public opinion has set strongly
against these empires and their prepara-
tionS. Their occupation IS gone or soon
will he. When the light is let into decep.
ton it soon willis down. Persons who trific
with their own health, by using unknown
preparations, with no guarantee to sustain
them, when an established specific, proven
by twenty years experience to be exactly
what 1t is claimed to be, is within their
reach, are sure TO repent their temerity.
Many have done SO In this Instance, but ii
is hoped that the truth plainly spoken has
arrested the evil. In the meantime the de-
mand for the leading protective and reSto-
rative medicine of America was never so
great as 1t has been this season. From the
fever and ague districts of the west, south
west and south, 1t is literally overwhelming
and 1t may be said of the advices from all
parts Of the country Of the cures 1t is effec-
ting in dyspepsia, bilious complaints, and
chronic constipation, that "their name is
legion" Everywhere the sick and feeble
seem to have realized the Importance of
"Holding fast that which is good" and of
avoiding what is spurious and dangerous.

County Organization.

No clear indication has yet been
given by the people in favor Of any
particular system of county organiza'
ton. The township system as now
prescribed is very generally condemned
as unsuitable to our small and sparsely
populated counties. The old county
system seems to find but few advocates.
and the important duty will have TO
devolve upon that body to strike out
some new system Of county organiza-
ton that will be adequate to all the
local wants Of the people, and to be
conducted at the least possible expense.

THE Monongalia county Democratic
Convention was held in Morganto"n
last Tuesday and resulted in the nomi-
nation of W. P. WILEY, Esq., and
Major WILLIAM LANTz, as county dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention,
and L. S. HoUGH and n. S. SOUTH for
members Of the House OF Delegates.
Doctor L. S. Brock vas nominated tor
County Superintendent OF Free Schools.
The Convention also nominated Colonel
JAMES EVANS, OF Monongalia and Hon.
REUBEN DAWSON, OF Taylor, as Sen
atorial delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, subject to the approval oil
the district conferees.
This is al excellent ticket. and
abundantly deserves success. With
such able and popular candidates the
Democracy of Monongalia ought 10
give the Republicans of that county =
close contest on the Doth.

THE PRESS REPORTS.

We do not desire TO detract from the
satisfaction the M,sNigsaccr maniiests
concerning its news report, for We take
to ourselves the credit of having spur
red our contemporary to whatever degree
Of enterprise it has shown. The REG
IsTER has led the way in the publica-
ton OF the best news report that has
ever been presented in Wheeling, and
the readers Of both papers know that
our telegraphic columns still contain
generally better and more satisfactory
exhibit Of the news Of the day than
our neighbor has yet been able to OBJ
tain. During the past few days, how
ever, the affair, ofthe Pacific and Allan
tic Telegraph Company and OF the
American Press Association have been
thrown into some confusion by the
Chicago fire, and the report has not
been kept up to its usual stand
ard Of excellence. The office Of the
telegraph company with all the instru.
ments and materials it contained was
destroyed by the fire and complete
new equipment had to be furnished
from Pittsburgh. In addition to this,
and more disastrous in iIs consequences,
both the manager OF the telegraph
company and the agent OF the American
Press in Chicago were reported missing
and it was feared they hal persisted in
the flames Indeed we are not aware
whether their fate is yet known. I'm
der these circumstances the duty OF
recognizing the office fell entirely upon
subordinateS and i; is not surprising
that the task was found peculiarly
difficult or that during several days the
news report was not so full as 1t would
otherwise have been.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany Jared better. 1t had materials at
hand to supply the loss Of those de-
stroyed by the fire and experienced men
to labor in maintaining Geographic
communication. By this means and
this alone it has been able to- furnish TO
the press the news report of which the
InteNiqcncer boasts.
But Notwithstanding the eXtraor-
binary obstacles encountered we have
still been able to present as early as our
neighbor with the single exception OF
last Monday morning) all the facts,
scenes, incidents, &C., OF the great fire
that has been the chief topic OF thought
and comment during the past week
The publication Of an extra last Mon
day containing dispatches received
during the day concerning the progress
of the fire, and prefaced by the Assoc.
ciated Press report Of its beginning,
merely put us even with the MteM-
genesrs enterprise during the New York
riots, that paper having then issued an
extra containing Governor HorFMAS's
proclamation which it copied from the
REeisrER of that morning.
The American Press report as pub
lished BY us has been usually in ad.
vance Of that furnished to the Intel
lgenesr, and fully as satisfactory in its
general details. If 1T has fallen behind
during the past few days it is explained
BY the circumstances we have recited
above, and we have every reason to
believe that it will in the future, az in ,
he past, furnish complete and concise
.pitome Of all important events transpir.
ng on this continent ORR the old world. |,
