THE NEW YORK EXPOSURES.

The New York World, commenting
upon the exposures of fraud in the
county government recently made by
the Times, says:
1.-THE point which we desire to impress
is, that all the charges, whether true or
false, whether exact or exaggerated, are
charges against the old Board Of Super
visors, which Republican Legislature
created and q Democratic Legislature
abolished. That defunct Board forms
no part Of the machinery Of the present
municipal government. 1t was kept in
existence so long as the Republican
party had power, and was abolished, for
good reasons, by the very first Demo
cratic Legislature elected after its organ
ization. The Times is acting rs alb
surdedly as we should be in parading
the transactions of the corrupt whisky
rings of 1866 as evidence against the
administration of General Grant, or in
printing the accounts of the absconded
Collector Bailey as proof Of the corrup:
ton of the present officers Of the internal
rayenue

Escape.

From the Eastern August
The doughty hero Of Big Bethel,
Fort Fisher, &c, met with 8 mishap in
Newburyport the other day, which
nearly deprived the country Of his SER
vices.
Butler and Colonel French were
pacing the quarterback in a style worthy
Of Admiral Jim Fisk. The yacht
rounded 70 and off went a gun that
made the Newburyporters think OF
powder ships. The yawl was brought
alongside, and Butler and French seem
to have attempted to get in together.
Now it is q well established fact that
two locomotives with "steam" up CAN
not pass each other on the same track.
Butler and French could not, nor could
they both 60 down the steps at the
same moment without damage to
their political economy. Colonel
French pitched forward and landed
half in the water and half in the little
boat. Butler was less fortunate. He
disappeared, and the murky waters OF
the Merrimac cloeed over his bald and
bushy head. But not forever. Ben ap-
peared on the surface directly with a
spout that is represented as a cross
between that Of a porpoise and ahump.
back whale. He thrashed about until
the water frothed like yeast. His jolly
tora made herOic efforts IN yescne him
but Ben's bald pate left them little to
clutch at, and it was not until the hon.

had gone down for the conventional
third time that he was dragged out

By it the Governor could remove the
Judges and all others from officer. If
q man in place was obnoxious to him,
it was but to strike his name from the
list Of voters, and the Supreme Court
held that if ne lost the qualification OF
q voter he could not hold Office and was
removed. Should not a Constitution
which permitted such outrages be
changed without unnecessary delay :
The history Of the outrages perpetrated
during the past four years by the Re
publican party in this State are still
fresh in the mind OF my hearers. Every
thing necessary to perpetuate their
power was done, and, Notwithstanding
this extraordinary legislation, the courts
declared it valid. ...

soldiers sent to their homes before
these laws were enacted. But, my Re.

favorable TO q Convention. According
to your theory, all that is necessary Is a

may. Our present Constitution Is most
assuredly defective, if under it such so.
called laps can be enacted and sustained
by the Courts. What guarantee have
the people for the protection OF their
rights, when war power" or any other
power, can trample down everything
that is sacred by legislative enactments.
But the Courts are under the ban of the
Legislature, and one Of the great needs
OF a Convention is to frame Constitu.
ton that shall forever preserve the Ju-
dietary free from any interference from
and contamination by another branch.
Every voter in Ohio county, without
regard to party. should 90 to the polls
on the Oath Of August, and cast his bal
lot for a Convention. Our interests
are common, without political distinc'
ton, and the Republican should be as
much interested in having the defects IN
our present Constitution remedled as the
Democrat. With aproperly framed Con
stitution, there was nothing to prevent
West Virginia from becoming one OF
the great States Of the Union. Mr..
Boggess closed by urging full turn
out Of voters on the day OF election, and
kindly thanking the audience for their
attention.

PIEDMONT, July 26.
Hon. r. G. Barr, and others Of the Com,
mittcc:
GESrLENEN-Yours Of the Goth inst,
inviting me to be present and partici-
pate in your meeting, called to consider
the question Of holding Convention Of
the sovereign people, for the purpose Of
the Constitution Of this
State, has been received. thank you
for the invitation and for the compli-
mentary terms in which it is couched,
and greatly regret that previous bu'
siness engagement makes it impossible
for me to accept.
1t would give me great deal Of
pleasure to meet and advise with the
sturdy democracy Of Ohio county, and
Of the commercial capital OF our new
State noble band who took the mi.
tiative in organizing. and led a bold
and effective fight, against the unscru-
pulous faction which misgoverned our
State for nearly eight years; and who
still take a leading and active part in all
movements fer the public good.
The events Of the late war and its
consequents, the enlightenment and
progress Of the age in which we live,
all seem to conspire in demanding a re-
vision OF the organic laws OF most OF
the States; and many Of them have
already held Conventions for the pur-
pose, and others, including the great
State Of Ohio, with the concurrence Of
both political parties, are now moving
in that direction.
The Constitution OF q government
should contain but little beyond we'll
ascertained fundamental principles.
Such a Constitution will seldom need
TO be amended and never remodeled.
But the Constitution Of the State OF
West Virginia contains, 10 addition to
the assertion of the fundamental prin-
ciples OF republican government, much
that ia unsettled in its nature and sub
ject for legislative action. The simpler
the Constitution the better. But little
about which there could be much con-
troversy should il contain.
The great duty Of the Convention TO
be held in this State will be to take
from the present Constitution that which
is not fundamental, and thus 10 sim pity
the instrument rather than to add to il.
Our present Constitution was framed
in 1862. and it went into effect in the
spring following-during the terrible ex-
element Of the war, and when the pas.
sions Of men were fired to the fiercest
burning. Some Of the delegates who
assisted in framing it were literally
without constituencies, and the instru-
ment itself was declared adopted after
having received an affirmative vote OF
but little more than one.third OF the le-
gal voters Of the State-opposition to its
adoption having been silenced BY mill
tary aid. The Constitution 10 less ap-
plicable to our present situation than it

For the Spectator.
To the Valley Railroad Companv.

You are appealing to the people of the VAL
ley aud ''the rest of mankind" for aid in rails.
Ing the additional $500, 600 required to organ
lze your company and get to work. and you say
| that the whole enterprise must fail if this sum
can't be obtained. Why then not accept the
proposition repeatedly made by the reople of
sne oridgewater route, that they would raise,
oy subscription, from $4,000 to 800 600 in
money and stock for damages assessed. If YOU
Will locate the road on that line. We have
been answered-this would be condition that
must receive the assent of the company before
1t can become binding, and that such assent
| can't be given until the company shall have
been organized, which organization can't take
place until the required sum shall have been
subscribed. NoA
La reply to this let me ask, are not all vour
subscriptions conditional? Will Staunton or
any county that has voted subscription nav
you one dollar unless you locate your road
through them, according to the conditions i'm,
posed by the voters? Will Baltimore eitv. or
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COMPANY
pay unless you comply with the conditions i'm
posed by them? Then, are not all these SUBJ
serIptions conditional? And would ask where
In they differ from our proposed terms of SUBJ
scrlptlon Yet you propose organizing upon
these conditional subscriptions, if You can ges
S2OO,OO0 more, or even like kind. Why not.
then take ours also, as it is offered upon the
same terms as the Staunton and other snb.
scriptions, and if you can organize on the
Staunton subscription you can also organize
upon ours, and organizing upon these subscrip-
tions you would be bound by the conditions
which they severally impose, But we are told
that the grade on our line is twenty feet high
er to the mile at four different places than the
grade on the lower line, which at no place ex-
ceeds fifty feet to the mile. Admit this to be
true and admit that this difference can't be
overcome (which is not true), will you lose the
road on account of this small difference, be-
cause you can't get it when you would prefer
having it? This is the naked question, for II
we, on this line subscribe the amount stated
the balance to be raised will be so small that it
can be done with comparative ease.

POETRY.
Loves Language.

Darling I've told my love for thee,
To the silent stars at night,
And it seemed as though they listened to me,
And their pale eyes grew more bright,
While my soul went out in its words of love,
To those distant unknown spheres,
There came peace from their worlds above,
Dispelling my doubts and fears.
Darling I told my love to the wind,
As it roved DER a bank of flowers,
And | bade it go thy brow to find,
And bathe 1t with perfume showers.
bade it whisper in thine ear,
As it kissed thy darling cheek,
The words knew you would love to hear,
If were but there to speak.
Darling! [ knelt in my lonely room,
When my soul was heavy with pain,
AS felt that saddest of earthly doom,
10 love and know it is yain
And knew how broken and crushed my heart,
Where the foot of fate has trod,
While you and were so far apart,
And told my love TO God. T. j. D.
