WHEELING, November b, 1871.
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again.
The eternal years OF God are hers"
The election of the various Demo
cratic candidates in the Tenth Sena-
torial District is the GROWING glory in
the recent election, and especially the
triumphant election Of John F. Pearce,
Esq, to the Convention.
! have been personally acquainted
with Mr.. Pearce more than twenty-five
years, and I hazard nothing in SAYING
that a more honorable and upright
gentleman doesn't live anywhere than
he is. He has long been an influential
citizen in his county. and long filled the
office Of Justice prior to the war. The
war, according to a certain fanailys con-
struction, made him fit subject for
bankruptcy and the gibbet.
A certain loH tamilH with Grand
mother Brig. Gen. Kelly to aid it with
his bistling bayonets, came to the con.
clusion that they were entitled to all Of
Mr.. Pearce's fine lands, and conse-
auently instituted suit after suit against
him in Preston county. with one Hon.
W. p. Bro0n as their attorney. |
think, if | am not mistaken, that the
various suits against Mr.. Pearce will
aggregate 100000 or more.
But, to use a trite saying, Mr.. Pearces
head was level enough for that infa-
nous ring" (having its headquarters
at New Creek, to battle it in all of its
purposes and efforts to defraud him
and his family out Of their lawful prop
erty in Mineral county, in which both
the ring" and Mr.. Pearce reside.
The people of Minerrlhave given Mr..
Pearce some POO majority over the Re.
publican candidate; and the district
gives him over 1000 majority. Glory
enough for one day, say we!
No man in the district was more
subjected to outrages in this way than
Mr.. Pearce has been. We congratu-
late Mr.. Pearce for his glorious victory
over such enemies. and the people of his
county and district for 80 triumphantly
demolishing the New Creek ring" and
indicating Mr.. Pearce before the
people of the whole State.
Mr.. Pearce will make a most eff
cient member of the Convention, and
will win the good graces Of all who
form mis- acquaintance, if it be even the
Hon. w. &. Brown, of Preston, him
self.
Who will sing requium over the
fallen "ringY Not decent men, at any
rate so we think, and so we say.

Trouble in the Republican ranks some
time ago revealed the fact that there ex-
lists a secret, oath-bound society, or
gained on military principles, now per-
meating the county of Montgomery, Ala
bama in all directions, aud having its
head centre in the city of Washington {.
The Montgomery advertiser Of the lst
instant, gives the following account Of
the latest Developments:
1T seems now that the more prudent
and sober ofthe Radical leaders in this
locality are opposed to this dangerous
secret body, and are DESTROYS of putting
it down and forcing its dissolution. But
some of the younger and more reckless
spirits of the party, backed by the Afri-
can rank and file in the national guard,
are disposed to reject the demand for
the disarmament of this military asso-
citation. The consequence Of this col.
lision ofsentiment has been much news
paper wrangling. several turbulent po-
litical meetings Of the respective fac
tons, AID many arrests of parties on
both sides from vindictive feelings.
"Messrs. Knox, Brsinard..and some
others have been arrested under the
Ku-Klux law as members OF the Ma
tional Guards" and for disturbing pub
lie meetings, and in return they
have arrested Mr.. Minis, the district
attorney Of the United States, and Mr..
Healy, the marshal of Middle Alabama,
under the provisions Of some of the acts
of Congress.
at really appears that if these
arrests are to 60 on, the whole Radical
party will presently find itself in Jail or
under bond. In the meantime the
Democrats are acting the part OF Good
Samaritans,' and going bail for the
Radicals arrested, the one by the
other. There is not enough property
in the whole Radical party to make one
ordinary bail bond. 1t is certainly q
queer state OF affairs. Why don't the
ub-Ku-Klux committee come back
here and report the National Guard to
Congress.

AN illustration OF the wonders Of
American telegraphy is found in a dis
patch published yesterday morning an
nouncing the sudden death of Doctor
DAVID STANTON. the recently elected
Auditor General OF Pennsylvania. We
have before US four copies OF the dis
patch in as many different papers. and
each gives a different version OF the cir.
cumstances of the sad event. The
Pittsburgh Commercial says He had
been suffering for a day or two with
.rysipslaS in the face, causing him much
pain" The Pittsburgh Post Gays ale
had been suffering for day or two
with neuralgia in the face" &c. The
Pittsburgh Di:patch puts the matter
very indefinitely by saying "He had
been suffering for day or two with a
disease in the face" while our neighbor
of the Mtellgencer says "He had been
suffering for a day or two with herpes in
the face, causing him much pain.
Now, what ,CaS the matter with Doctor
STANTON? A jury of telegraph opera
tors should be summoned to decide.

CLEARLY" says the Cleveland Plan
dealer "the Germans have no genius
for stealing. The summing up OF finan-
cial affairs in Prussia for the past year
shows a total of nineteen thousand dol
lars lost in official speculations. and, as
the offenders are all in prison, serving
out rather long terms, it is hoped that
next years showing will be even better
than this, particularly as there is no war
to demoralize the public servants. Un'
der Grant the stealings from this gov
eminent, we believe, will reach nineteen
thousand dollars per dayi"

The Democrats OF Preston county
deserve especial credit for the pluck
and perseverance they have manifested
in the face of continued defeat. They
have stood up so manfully for the right
that they are making important inroads
upon the Radical strength in that
county and, from present Indications
the time is not far distant when even
Preston will be thoroughly redeemed
and reliable Democratic. Last fall the
Radical majority in Preston was Gag
this year, Notwithstanding the labors OF
Hon. w. G. Brown and his nomination
on the Radical ticket, their majority is
only $50, Democratic gain of 1863 in a
single year. Beside this the Democrats
have elected fee out of the eight mem
hers of the Board of Supervisors, and if
Mr.. Brown can only be induced to
help the Radicals once or twice more
the Democrats will sweep the county.

Chieago Insnrance.

From the Chicago Tribune, Nov. p
We have compiled the following list
of insurance companies that have sus.
pended in consequence of losses by the
fire in this city. 1t comprises just about
half of all the companies of this and
other States doing business here at the
time of the fire. Some of them will,
by assessments on stockholders, proba-
bly,. pay up their losses in full and con:
tinue in business, but the majority will
either 20 into the hands Of Receivers or
endeavor to compromise with their
policy-holders for per centage Of their
liabilities. Proceedings were begun in
the Circuit Court yesterday for the APP
pointment Of Receivers for winding up
q number Of Chicago companies which
show actual assets in proportion to
losses as follows: Firemen's, 10 per
cent; Merchants, Is per cent; Chica-
20 Fire, IL per cent; Germania, 10 per
cent; State, 10 per cent; Home, 10 per
cent; Mutual Security, Is per cent.
These assets are independent Of any
stock subscribed and not paid in. 70
whatever extent the stockholders are
further liable in this respect it will in
crease the ability of the companies 10
pay more than the per centage above
mentioned. OF prominent New York
companies we hear Of Receivers having
been appointed for the Security, Lori.
lard, Washington, Market, Manhattan
and Atlantic. Many others will doubt!

GEN. ScHENcK has asserted that
GRANT never forgives a man who
crosses his path, or defeats any OF his
schemes of avarice. Gen. ScHENoK
said GRANT sought the Presidency for
the money he could make out Of the
position" and summed up Gen. GRANT
by saying that "he never in his life had
met one with the advantage Of associa-
ton with we'll informed people who
was so grossly ignorant upon every
subject that an ordinarily intelligent
citizen ought to understand as Gen.
GRANT" and that morally and intel
lectually he was below any man whom
he had ever known in public life.

WHEELING AND TOLEDO RAIL
ROAD,

We are glad to find our Ohio neigh
bors still disposed to push the project Of
a railroad between Wheeling and the
northwest. 1t needs no argument to
convince our people of the Importance
and desirability OF such road, and we
believe they are ready and willing to
cooperate with any company that offers
the most practicable and advantageous
means Of connection with Sandusky or
Toledo. The precise point at which
the proposed road reaches the Ohio
river provided, it is within seven or
eight miles of this city, is not really a
matter Of much importance to US and
hence we cannot take very active in.
terest in the squabble that ia going on
between Bridgeport, Mar,insville, Hope
dale, Harrisville and other towns in this
section of Ohio relative to the exact
line the road shall pursue. The city
OF Wheeling will doubtless subscribe
literally whenever there is a reasonable
prospect OF the immediate construction
OF the road, and it is quite probable
that some individual subscriptions Of
stock may be obtained. Let the gen.
tlemen who are interested in the sew
eral proposed routes say exactly what
they will do; what are the best terms
they offer and the special advantages of
their fayorite routes; and Wheeling will
Undoubtedly render muuifcent aid to
whichever seems best adapted to answer
the purposes we have in view. We are
not welded to the Hopedale, the Harris
vile, the Wheeling creek, or any other
of the routes yet proposed, but are ready
10 subscribe to whichever makes the
best showing in right Of way, local sub
scriptions, cheapness of construction,
local trade and all the essentials Of
successful railroad. 1t is therefore for
our Ohio neigbbors to determine these
points among themselves, and when the
characteristics and advantages of the
proposed routes are summed up, it will
be for this city to decide to which to
give her aid.
A meeting of those interested in the
Cadz and Harrisville ronte is to be held
at Hsrrisville on next Saturday week,
to ascertain what they can do to secure
The location Of the road !

q word of apology for his suspension OF

Ayers Cathartic Pills,

" GS curry or mineral
Serious sickness and suffering is prevented
by their timely use, and every family
should have them on hand for their pro-
lection and relief, when required. Long
experience has proved them the safest, best
and srrest Of all the PILLS with which the
market abounds. BY their occasional use,
the blood Is purified, the corruptions Of the
system expelled, distractions removed, and
the whole machinery Of life restore d to It's
healthy activity. Internal organs which
become clogged and sluggish are cleansed
by AYERS PILLS, and stimulated inlo &C
ton. Thus incipient disease Is changed into
health. the value OF which change, when
reckoned on the vast multitudes who en-
gar coating makes them pleasant to take,
and preserves their virtues unimpaired for
any length of time, so that they are ever
fresh, and perfectly reliable. Although
searching, they are mild, and operate with
out disturbance to the constitution, or diet,
or occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper
to each box, how to use them as Family
Physic, and for the following complaints,
which these pills rapidly cure:
For DYSPEPSIA. or INDIGESTION, LIsTLEss-
NESS, LANGUoR and Loss OF APPETITE,
they should be takenlmoderately to stimu-
the stomach and restore It's healthy tone
and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various
symptoms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK
HEADACHE, JAUNDIoE or GREEN SICK
NESS, BILIOUS collie and BILIOUS FE-
vERS they should be iudiciously taken
for each case, TO correct the diseased
action, remove the distractions which
cause IL.
For DYsENTERY or DIARRHEA, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For RHEUMATISM, GoUT, GRAVEL, PAL
PITATIOn OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE
AIDE, BACK and LoINs, they should be Ia
ken continuously, as required, to change
the diseased action Of the system. With
such change those complaints disappear.
For DRoPsY and DROP5HAL SwELLINGS,
they should. be taken in large and frequent
doses to produce the effect of a drastic
purge.
For SUPPRESSION, n large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by
sympathy.
AS a DINNER PILL, take one or two pills
to promote digestion and relieve the stom-
ach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stom-
ach and bowels, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence Ii is
often advantageous where no serious de-
rangement exists. One who feels tolerably
well, often finds that dose OF these pills
makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovatlng effect on the di-
gestive organs.

VOTERS, REGISTER

The undersigned, comprising the board
of registry of the I'd ward, would respectfully
request all persons entitled to vote in said
ward and not now on the list of voters, to
present themselves, during the sitting OF
said Board on Tuesday and Wednesday and
have their names placed on the Register and
thereby save themselves, as well as the
Board, trouble on the day of election. To
entitle man to vote he must have resid-
ed in the ward for thirty days Immediately
preceding the election. Six months in the
County and one year in the State.
The undersigned are unanimously of the
opinion that the registry law is odious in
several respects, and ought to be repealed at
once by the Legislature now in session.
But while it is the law, it becomes every
good and law abiding citizen to comply with
it, although it does not accomplish what is
ostensibly claimed for it, the protection Of
