LATER-THIs COUNTY PROBABLY
REPUBLICAN,.

Since writing the above we have re-
ceived returns from the seven townships
embraced within the limits Of the city.
In these townships the Democratic vote
at the last October election was 2O39
and the Republican vote 1865; they
now cast lois votes for the Convention
and liza against; showing falling Oft
of 1924 in the Democratic vote and 59l
in the Republican. The remaining
townships of the county cast 5ll Dem
ocratic and 354 Republican votes. last
fall. If the vote in these townships
was diminished yesterday in the same
ratio as that in the city precincts, there
is majority of twenty-five or
thirty against the Convention.
We cannot say that we are much
surprised at this result, and, if it serves
to convince the Democracy Of Ohio
county that they cannot succeed without
thorough organization and active work,
it will not be devoid Of good effect. A
special election is always most disad,
vantageous to the majority party, be-
cause, relying upon its usual strength
it puts forth no organized effort, and
the minority, by activity and energy
has good chance Of carrying the cleo
ton, as has probably been done IN
Ohio county at this time.

Medical Mistakes.

1t took the faculty about thousand years
to discover that the best way to cure dis
ease was not to render the patient too weak
to contend with it. Within the last twenty
years, however, the whole system OF med
ical practice has been changed for the bet
ter. In diseases or complaints caused by
the excessive heat, for instance, the doctors
no longer recommend the reduction of the
invalid's strength by Frustrating medicines.
The vast success which has attended the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as arem-
edy for debility, has given even the most
prejudiced members of the old school an
insight into the only true and rational the
ory of cure. Cantharides, calomel and
overpowering doses OF opium, are now
among the obsolete nostrums OF another
age. The lancet, once as much the legiti-
mate weapon of the physician as the sword
Is Of the soldier, is seldom drawn from It's
case. The principle OF life is no longer
drained from the veins by the quart, and
water-gruel for the strengthlesS invalid has
ceased to be considered an appropriate diet.
Vigor is the motto of the rational members
of the profession, and they understand. at
last, the value OF a sterling vegetable tonic.
So, also, with the people atlarge; and with
out consulting medical men at all, they
have adopted the bitters as household
remedy, thereby economising both cash
and health.
Note the fact, that Hostetter's Stomach
Bittersis sold in bottles only, never in bulk
and that the abortions springing up in va
rious parts of the country, and sometimes
offered as substitutes for the great national
specific, ale all utterly worthless.

CoIonel neCook ana the Canvass.

OOIoneA ACNOOA ouAA shAC 49,
We had hoped that there would be
no necessity for more than a passing
notice of the illness of Colonel McCook,
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
We looked upon it as a case OF over
exertion, which would pass off with a
few DAYS rest. But the illness seems
to be of so grave nature as to require
from the Chairman Of the Democratic
State Central committee card announc-
ing that Colonel McCook has been
compelled to suspend, for the present
his canvass of the State. From all
that we can learn Of Colonel McCook 8
illness, we do not think he will again
appear on the stump. A repose OF a
month or two is absolutely essential to
recuperate his PROSTATE system. I'm
well when he commenced the canvass,
he has prosecuted it through the hot
season with a vigor and unyielding per-
sistence that could be maintained only
by the most robust health. He was
not in the possession Of the physical
power he supposed. Pride and ambi-
ton stimulated him to persevere, but
nature could not hold out, and the Col
onel is compelled to yield to her de-
mands. Other speakers will fill Col
onel McCook's appointments.-En

q larger proportion Of the Republican
vote were cast than Of the friends of
the Convention. The Democrats have
had almost no organization. Some
township committees were appointed q
few weeks ago, but no special or COLI
certed effort was made by the prominent
men of the several neighborhoods 10
bring out the vote. Each man reason
ed with himself: Now this is a measure
for the common good; it is no more to
my advantage than 10 that Of any OF
my neighbors; there is, therefore, no
reason why should spend my time and
labor and money in urging them TO vote
The result of this course OF re1ection
il seen in the small number OF ballo's
actually cast. If some candidate had
been striving to get a five hundred dol
lar office, he would have been able, by
active electioneering, to induce almost
twice as many people to vote as cast
their ballots yesterday upon the I'M
portant question OF remodelling the
Constitution Of the State.

THE STATE.

At the hour OF going to press we
have but few returns from the State at
large, and these only OF scattering
townships.
A dispatch from Charleston says
that Charleston township cast seven
hundred and thirty-three votes and gave
a majority of one hundred and ninety
one against the Convention. The dis
patch is scarcely reliable, because the
total vote of the county is less than
four times that reported in a single
township.
A dispatch from Doddridge county
states that two townships, heretofore
largely Republican, give small MAORI
ties for the Convention.
We have. heard no reason to doubt
that the Convention is called by a
majority Of the votes in the State, but
several days must elapse before reliable
figures can be given.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1871-08-25
A SLIM VOTE.

At the present time o: writing but
little is known as to the result of the
voting yesterday. Enough is known,
however, to satisfy us that very light
vote has been polled, probably not
more than half Of the aggregate vote Of
the county. For this there are several
causes, chief Of which is the careless
ness with which very many citizens re-
gard governmental affairs. There are
hundreds of men in this, as well as in
every other county in tie State, who
take no newspaper and who rarely at
tend a political meeting or talk with
their neighbors about political matters.
They usually attend the regular fall
elections, being moved thereto by the
strong personal solicitations of candi-
dates for Office, but many OF them new
er hear OF special elections such as that
Of yesterday and don't know what are
the questions to be voted upon.
And even many intelligent men who are
fully informed in relation to the pro-
gress Of political events, often refuse
to leave their places Of business or put
themselves to the slight inconvenience
necessary to cast their vote. At all
special elections, no matter for what
object, there is an apathy among the peo-
pie which it is almost impossible to
overcome, and the election on yester-
day furnished no exception to the gen.
eral rule.
The returns will probably show that
in this county larger proportion OF
the Republican vote has been polled
than of the Democratic. Such re-
suit might be expected from the fact
that the negroes having been so lately
invested with the ballot, never lose an
opportunity Of asserting their equality
with white men in this respect. A
negro would travel ten miles on
foot in order to vote, even though
he did not know what the election
was for or what was printed on
his ticket. Beside this, the white Re-
publican voters were very strongly so
licited to attend the polls by some OF
our county officers who did not feel like
running the risk of reelection when
the new Constitution goes into effect,
and it would not be strange therefore if

WHEN Radical editors and speakers
talk OF the corruption OF the Demo
cratic party in New York and elsewhere,
they forget Mr.. BoUrwELL's account OF
defalcations and unsettled demands to
the tune of nearly Twenty-Five Mil
lions OF Dollars. They forget one BAL,
LEY of New York, a Federal runaway
and defaulter to the tune Of over Sl32,
600. They forgot larger sum than
this, taken by General GRANT from the
Treasury for the St. Domingo job.
They forgot how the debt of Louisiana
has run up from 100000 to s46,-
100000, in eleven years, and the taxes
from twenty-cents on the 500 to two
dollars, with results as bad in North
Carolina, and almost as bad in Arkan-
sas. Florida, Texas, and Georgia.
They forgot that after paying taxes for
the interest of the Federal debt, which
exceeds 100000, 900, nearly three hun
dred millions more are wrung from the
people-and that were the expenses OF
Mr.. BUCHANAN for civil service alone
were $70,0O0,000, those Of General
GRANT, for the civil service, are 500,
100000. All these matters they for,
get, and affect the utmost horror over a
false statement o! the fiscal affairs OF
New York. But this is a trick OF
scurvy politicians, and will leave no
permanent impression upon sensible
people.

Interes ting ROmances.

The acquisition of sudden wealth
generally throws around it a glare thaI
attracts attention and elicits observa
ton. Several such cases are going the
rounds of the press.
A correspondent of the Central Bap.
list, after visiting President Grants
farm, few miles from st. Louis, Mis-
souri,, says he twas received by Mr.
Eldrod, a relative of the President, who
is intrusted by him with the superinten
dence OF property valued at no less than
100000. The farm includes, with re-
cent purchases, S6S acres, mostly roll
ing land" Referring to this statement
of the Central Baptist, the Brooklyn
Eagle says:
president Grant went into the army
not worth cent, and has lived quite
freely ever since. His horses, equipa,
ges, &c, are the themes of admiring de-
scriptions from correspondents not only
at Washington, but at Long Branch,
and wherever he takes up his tempo
rary abode. 1t is therefore quite con-
solatory to find that out of his not ex-
cessive salary, first as General and now
as President, he is able to keep $780,
900 Of blooded stock and such like
property idle on a Missouri farm. y
These boss politicians, whether called
supervisors or Presidents, contrive to
live at the highest point of luxury, and
on moderate salaries, and yet to roll
up riches"
Then there is the State Treasurer OF
South Carolina, Mr.. Parker. He re-
fuses to allow his books to be examined
The Charleston Meas says Of him:
Three years ago he was little better
than a beggar. When elected State
Treasurer he was in the depth of desti.
tuition. Now he drives fast horses in
gold mounted harness, buys fifteen
thousand dollar diamond pins, and has
the reputation Of being worth q cool
quarter Of a million. All this in three
years upon an annual salary Of $500"
There are plenty carpet baggers all
through the South just like the State
Treasurer Of South Carolina. They
abound in nearly every State.
Another bit of romance is related bv
the New York Sun:
"a follower of Wesley and preach.
er of Righteousness came to the Senate
from Western State, pious and poor.
Serving first in the north wing Of the
Capitol, then in the Department Of the
Interior, and then again at the Capitol,
he waxed rich and dwelt in his own
lavishly garnished stone mansion, and
kept a carriage which the Archbishop
OF Canterbury would have envied."
Stealing themselves rich in the
name of loyalty" and making hay
while the sun shines, is the motto Of
the Republican leaders. The history
of these efforts, and their successes and
failures-the latter few in number
make very interesting romsnces; more
agreeable, however, in the major part,
to the heroes thereof than to TIE tax
PAYERS. p.

Daring Attempt at Highway Rod
berry In Logan County.


We learn from a gentleman from
Logan county that sometime last week
the day he had forgotten-as Mr.
George Steele was on his way home, in
the evening, up Island creek, from the
Court House, after proceeding a few
miles on the way his horse became
frightened and at the same time man,
who Steele says he knows, jumped out
from the bushes and seized his horse by
the bride reins and at the same time
demanded his money. Steele remarked
that he had left all or part OF his money
10 town with Robinson, q merchant
there, and jumping from his horse made
his escape through the bushes, the
assaulting party firing three shots after
him without effect.
Mr.. Steele had shown considerable
money in town that day and it is sup
posed that a plot was conceived there
