From the Martinsburg New Era
The Convention.

The, people of West Virginia will
have an. opportunity on the 4th Thurs
day in August next, of expressing their
opinions as to the necessity Of holding q
Convention for the purpose Of review
ing and modifying the organic law Of
the State. No more important question
could be presented to a free and intelli-
gent people; and it behooves them to
give it their maturest consideration.
For not only are the present interests
of the State involved, but it's future pros
perity is, in great measure, depending
upon the, decision OF this question.
Our Legislature was SO seriously inn
pressed with the importance of this
question that they were unwilling TO
submit it to the people Of the State until
all political disabilities have been re-
moved; and therefore they submitted
the Flick Amendment-a measui e
which had but little in it to recommend
it to the favorable consideration Of any
body, except that it shook the shackles
from the hands and feet Of ten thousand
men--for ratification. Now that the
people are tree to say what they want,
and how their wants shall be supplied,
another grave question presents itself:
Is Convention necessary, or can every
object to be accomplished by Couven.
ton be effected BY legislative enact
ments and constitutional amendments
We are free TO confess that we be-
lieve a Convention is a necessity. To
be sure many excresences might be
Topped off by legislative enactments
and Constitutional amendments; but
this is u slow process and would ulti-
mately cost as much as Convention.
Besides it is patent to every observing
person in the State, that large pro-
portion of our people are dissatisfied
with our present Constitution, and no
amount OF tinkering at the Constitu-
ton will satisfy them. They demand a
Convention and a new Constitution.
There are many other reasons why q
Convention is necessity. But we give
the two following as of supreme import
ance, and abundantly sufficient to JUS
tify, as we think, every well-wisher Of
the State in voting for the Convention:
1st. The reorganization OF the judicl-
airy system; and I'd, The reorganization
of the present cumbersome, costly and
inefficient county organization.
We do not advocate Conventionas q
party measure; indeed, we hope it may
be kept out of politics entirely, so that
the matter may be considered soberly
and maturely, without being surveyed
by feelings OF personal pique or pollti-
cal malignity.

THE UNITED STATES JURORS.

Our neighbor OF the Inteth9encer roc-
casioually makes very unseemly ex-
hibtion Of petulance and i'll temper, as,
for instance, yesterday morning, when
he violated both truth and propriety in
an expression'o of petty malice toward
Judge JACKSON. The stale witticism
based upon the proverb that necessity
knows no law" was never more falsely
or inappropriatsly quoted. than by the
IntsNigeacsr in reference to the Judge
of the United States Court OF this Dis
trict. Judge JAcKsoN's reputation and
ability as a lawyer and his integrity
and impartiality as Judge, are second
to those Of no Judge Of District Court
in the United States; and this the Intefs;
Hqencer knows and would not hesitate
to say, if it were not governed by per-
sonal and political malice.
The instructions given to the Marshal
at the recent sitting ofthe United States
Court at Charleston, have been widely
misconstrued and misunders TODD.
When directing the Marshal to sum
mon jurors from the district in which
the court is held, no reference was had
to Congressional Districts, but simply
to the ueighborhood, region, or district
of the State nearest the place OF holding
court Under the present law, jurors
OF the United States are paid three dol
lars per day, not only during the time
of their actual attendance, but also dur
ing the time OF travelling to and from
the court. They are also paid mileage
at the rate Of ten cents per mile for the
distance from home. 1t was therefore
froma very laudable andcommendable
desire to save money to the United
States Treasury, and economize the ex-
penses of the court, that Judge
JACKSON desired the Marshal to
summon jurors from the region
in which the court was held, and not to
bring them from the most distant
corners of the State. We presume
that the jurors for the United
States Court at Wheeling will be drawn
from the Panhandle and the counties
contiguous thereto; forth at Clarks-
burg, from the central and eastern por
tons OF the State; and for that at
Charleston from the southern portion. |
This is all there is in the matter, and
the Intelhgencer could not have selected
a more appropriate or commendable
act as the occasion for its malicious and
uncalled for attack upon the Judge.

The ku.KIux Humbug.

The following letter which has been
published in the New York Tribune is
worth whole volumes of suborned testi-
mony elected by Congressional out
rage committees. Caswell and Rock
ingham counties, North Carolina, where
these parties reside, are, according to
HOLDEN, the headquarters of the Ku,
Klux Klan.
To the Editors of the Trlbune.l
SIR: We have noticed recently a
great many publications in your paper
concerning outrages comm tied by ku-
KluX in the Southern States. We know
nothing of the truth or falsity of these
charges, and shall not undertake their
refutation except 80 TAR as they may be
understood to apply to the whole South.
The undersigned, all Northern men by
birth and education, have, since the
war, purchased homes and settled,
some in Pittsylvania county, Va. and
others in Caswell and Rockingham
counties, n. c., aud many Of us are
Republicans and regular readers OF and
subscribers to the Tribune We have
reason to believe that a large number
of our Northern friends earnestly desire
to emigrate to the South, supply them
selves with cheap lands, and enjoy this
charming climate; and we fear that
they may be deferred from doing so by
the publications to which we have re-
| ferred. 1t is for this reason that We
reques. the insertion of this letter
in your paper, in the hope that
such other papers in the North as
desire to do justice to every portion OF
the country will give it circulation. We
| can say in truth that not only persons
and property are safe in the sections of
Virginia and North Carolina in which
we reside, but that we never lived in q
more orderly and law-abiding commu-
nifty. We have been kindly received
by the entire people =, our intercourse
with them has been in all respects as
agreeable as we could have desired.
We have seen no disposition to mistrust
or even slight us on account OF our pol
tiles; on the contrary, We have uni
formIy been treated with civility
and respect by every one with whom
we have come in contact. 1t is tut an
act of justice to ourselves and TO the
people living in the State of our adop-
ton that we should say what we have
said, and we trust that you will give it
place in your paper -

Quit Drlgging.

This is now admitted by the medical pro-
fession as fundamental principle of heal
ing science. 1t is wisely provided by the
human economy that whenever anything
is wrong In the physical system the natural
forces of the body are brought to bear to
expel the disease. The great aim, therefore
is to strengthen the natural powers. This
has been kept in view by the skillful COM
Founders of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which operates to give fresh vitality to all
the organs OF the body. The effect of this
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The
patient, who is wise enough to quit drugging
and try the bitters, soon feels as II he had
taken a new lease Of life, and as he con-
tinues the use of the article, he is overjoyed
to find the streams Of health coursing
through his frame. 1t is prepared with
great care, and its component parts are en-
tirely vegetable. 1t is free from the objec-
tons so often urged against preparations Of
the kind. As a medicinal agent 1t has no
equal, while It's pleasing flavor and health
full effects have made 1t a general favorite.
1t Is free from all properties calculated to
impair the system, and its operations are at
once mild, soothing and efficient. All who
its virtues and commend 1t.
Even those who are In the enjoyment Of
perfect health frequently have need to have
recourse to tones as preyentives Of disease.
We are never too well armed against the
assaults OF "the Ills that flesh Is heir to-"
In health or sickness this tonic cannot be
taken regularly without giving vitality and
elasticity to the system.

tension-New Jersey Peach crop
Prospects for wheat.
PHftapEtpHIA, May 10, 1871.
Dear Register :2biJ.a e..
7- Thad, last evening, the pleasure OF a
long conversation with high official
Of the Connellsville and Of the Wheel
ing, Pittsburgh and Baltimore railroad;
and the impression left zon my mind is
decidedly that it is the intention OF
those who control both these roads to
make the Hempfeld a local feeder to
the city of Pittsburgh, instead Of grand
through route from West to East, as we
have all heretofore been led to suppose
1t was through the active exertions of
citizensio OF Wheeling that the stock OF
the Hempfeld railroad was gathered up
and placed in the hands Of Mr.. Garrett
almost without cost to him and with
the view and understanding / may add
that if the B. & o. r. r. became the
owner of the road it would be, at an
early day, put in firstclass order and
put through so as to strike the Con
nellsville road at the point that would
make this the shortest and best possible
route from Wheeling to Baltimore and
Washington. II seems to me to be the
duty of the business men and of all the
substantial citizens OF Wheeling TO take
hold Of this matter and try and influ-
ence the building Of the road as at first
proposed. .'. q. .-2r-.-.
. Why is 80 little said about the sub
scription of $4,000 on the part OF
Ohio county to the Pittsburgh, Wheel
ing and Kentucky road? Has it nei-
Their warm friends nor active enemies,
by whom discussion can be started
and maintained? The road would GER
be of some importance to Wheeling;
but whether the terms upon which the
subscription is asked are such as to JUS
tify an affirmative vote, is a question
that needs discussion and consideration.
The orchards all along the route from
Wheeling to Philadelphia are heavily
laden with young fruit; and in this re-
gion, in New Jersey and Delaware, the
peach crop promises to be enormous.
1t is said this crop will be the largest
this year ever produced. The peach
crop for Delaware alone is estimated for
this summer, unless something not now
expected occurs, at fully 100000
baskets-being half million baskets
more than the crop OF 1869, the cham
pion peach year.
In every part Of the country the
wheat is very fine. Unless it is inter
tered with by rust, or something of the
kind, the wheat crop of the country
will be one-third larger, competent
judges estimate, than was ever before
produced. The stimulus, offered by
fair prices last season, the European
war, and the unusually favorable fall
Tor seeding, Induced the sowing OF a
very much larger breadth OF wheat
than heretofore; and the winter and
spring having been as favorable as the
fall, the result is seen in the prospect Of
a wonderful crop. b.
