Looking after their Interest,

twill be seen by reference to the Leg
isiGtive proceedings in another column,
thst Col. W. II. Webster. Represen tative
from this county, is looking after tho in
terest Of the widows and orphans Of the
Confederate soldiers, and wants Congress
to pass law granting pensions 10 them!
This is certainly asking great deal from
the government. Whatever additional
money the government has to bestOv in
pensions, should be given to those widows
and orphans whose husbands and fathers
fell while defending their country, aud to
the crippled, soldiers Of the Union. We
are surprised that Mr.. Webster should Of.
fer or report such a resolution. And with
out further comment. We leave 1t for our
readers to draw their own conclusions.

An iDlpOrtan: u'Casure ofinterest TO al

An in,portan. Hossure Of interest to al
soldiers and sESlors Of the late war. was re-
ported BY tho Committee on Military AZ
fairs, and the bill as reported hos passed
idelowcr House Of Congress. THIS bill
further amends the Homestead Law so
that every soldier sailor, marine and Off
Ger, who served ninety days against the
rebellion, may receive a patent for one
hundred aud sixty acres Of land, for a
homestead, on condition that he shall set
Ito upon it for period Of ivo years. In
other words, his time Of service will be
deducted from the Eve years of residence
required BY the Homestead Law. and il
discharged for wounds or disability, the
whole term Of his enlistment will be coun-
ted He must. however, live upon aud
cultivate the land ut least two years, and is
to be allowed year aitcr selecting his
homestead within which to commence his
settlement If he does not wish to avail
hiipsclfof this privilege, be may assign
his homestead certificate, within twelve
months from the date thereof. 10 any citi-
ven Of The United States over twenty .one
years Of age or person who has declared
his intention to become such-who has not
previously availcd himself of tho benefits
OF the Homestead redemption Laws, and
SAID assignee shall succeed to all the rights
Of the soldier, but no such assignee of q
homestead certificate shall thereafter have
the right to avail himself Of the benefit Of
the homestead acts. This privilege of as.
signmeDt will make the land certificates Of
great value, for they can be sold to per-
sons not soldiers. who wish to settle in tho
West,
In case Of tue death Of any person who
would be entitled to o homestead under
the provisions Of the bill, bis widow, i
unmarried, or in case of her death or mar
rage. then his miuor orphan children, will
be entitled to the same benefits. Disabled
soldiers whose names are on the pension
rolls are allowed to designate IN agent to
make the settlement for them required by
tho bill, This is good bill. and We sin
cercly hope it may pass the Senate.

v1DETTE.

Mr. Editor:
II you were not tho first, at least among
the very first men, aud the very first Edi-
tor Of newspaper, to advocate liberal
measures towards the DISTINGUISHED men Of
our State. For this. you were denounced
most bitterly by many Of the ablest Repub-
licap papers in the State, yet faithfully you
held your own, aud because Of your liber-
al views, boldly and constantly expressed
through your paper, you we're made the
nominee Of the Republican party of this
county for scat in the Legislature now in
session. We we'll know tbat you were
bold in advocacy Of tue "Flick Amend
ment," which promised to enfrancbisc The
now disfranchised. Here then. the issue
was made between the Republican and
Democratic parties-favor to, and opposi-
ton to the Flick Amendment" Upon
the issue "For the Flick Amendment" You
canyassed aud electioneercd, and for this
you were hunted down and denounced by
Democrats, Radicals, Rebels. aud the
Devil. and despite your efforts and tue eff
forts of your friends, you wcrc defeated in
the county by three hundred votes. We
will not at this time make specifications,
but do charge that your advocacy of the
Flick Amendment" and the opposition to
it expressed by the Democracy on the
stump, through newspapers, &c., is what
lost Mason county and the State Of West
Virginia to tho liberal Republicans. Thus
we account for it Now it is all over-the
Democratic party in power-all our thuu-
der and glory gone Democrats no longer
see or smell atsger in the "Flick Amend
meut, but wben The favored few" Of tho
Republicans now IN the Legislature, intro.
duced Flick tho Democrats embraced
him warmly, and took him ut once into
full confidence, and endorsing him recon-
mended him to the people declaring they
we're only joking about there being Niger
IN Flick. Consistency thou art q jew
ell" And "On Hiran,," who had scored
you so deeply aud dashed you go severely
because Of your early "Flick" predictions.
aud declared that he, Flick and yourself
were ''nigger, niger, sll Orcr." and for
weeks made this subject bis speciality, as
leaders, has now become "Hantunkerous,"
and advocates the ratification before tho
people Of all you ever claimed or asked for.
What change has come over the spirit Of
Our Hiram's" dreams. We rise to a
point Of enquiry. Has the Register be-
come Democratic, or the Journal Republi-
cats or the journal Republican and the
Register Democratic? Both advocate the
ratification Of tho "Flick Amendment" and
both oppose Constitutional Convention.
Now where's the difference? If there's no
"nigger" then there is no difference, aud
the Lion and tho Lamb lie down togo.h.
err" We learn however that there is az
effort on the part Of the Journal concern To
take refuge under tho ample folds Of the
RegiRer and both to appear in future as
one. Enquiry-In this event will the
newborn be named Republican or Demo,
cratic? THIRTEEN.
