Performance w.. Words.

The resolution adopted in the first
branch Of the city council requesting the
commissioner Of health to have the
streets of the city cleaned is quite signifi,
cant. 1t would seem that the perform.
ance of that duty was incumbent upon
the commissioner without waiting for
instructions from the city council.
When the complaints all over town OF
dirty streets have become general. and
that at a season of the year when
rigid sanitary precautions are more ne,
ccssary than at any other time, it would
seem that the commission Of health
must be in an unhealthy official condi
ton to require special instructions from
the city council upon the performance
Of duty. Baltimore has very many
years ENJOYED marked immunity from
the spread of pestilence, but that has
not been the result of neglect Of proper
means. The hot season is now to near
at hand to admit OF further delay. II
the health department will be as abund
ant in deeds as its last report was in
words, the city will be promptly and
deliberately eansed-Baltimore Sun.
We know of another city in which the
above suggestion may well be made
Let us have more performance even at
at the cost of fewer words.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN'
TIOS.

We publish this morning an address
to the people of West Virginia by the
Democratic State Executive committee
in relation to the proposed Constitu-
tional Convention. 1t should be read
carefully by every voter in the State.
1t sets forth, as briefly as possible,
some OF the many defects in our pres
ent Constitution and some Of the reas-
ons why a Convention should be held.
To enumerate all the changes desired
and all the Improvements that may he
made would have made the address too
long for general perusal. In all cases
of this kind it is difficult to say before
hand exactly what delibcratlve body
will do The Convention will doubt
less be composed OF the most proml-
nent and ablest men in the State; men
of large experience and mature mind !;
men who know the needs OF the State
and know also how to best promote It's
true Interests To them must be left
the discretion of looping off this or in
GRATING that and Of arranging all the
details of any proposed reform. Some
portion of the work, it is true, may be
marked out in advance, but not every
change that will be necessary to make
the new Constitution consistent and
harmonious in all its parts.
The State Executive Committee has
enumerated what are likely to he the
principal changes to be effected in our
present Constitution, and we submit
that their number and Importance con-
stitute a conclusive argument why a
Convention should be held. The cry
that a Convention is not needed cannot
receive a more direct or sufficient an.
swer than is furnished by the address.
1t isa well written and carefully con-
sidered paper and cannot fail to convince
the most skeptical as to the necessity OF
thorough revision Of our State Consti-
tuition, if we desire West Virginia to
achieve that prosperity which is her
natural right.

The Eanrpsr's Ferry water Power.

The extensive Water Power sold at
Hsrper's Ferry by the Government to &
company Of capitalists for the SUN OF
$4,000 in November'lS69, and WHICH
purchase gave promise of a revival OF
enterprise and thrift at Harpers Ferry
and induced many purchasers, at good
figures of lots, improved and otherwise,
is likely, from present appearances to
turn out only "small potatoes.
Instead OF the establishment OF man
uiactories whereby the immense natural
advantages OF the place would be made
available and profitable and the source
of employment for hundreds and thou
sands of toiling hands, the canal on the
Potomac-the conductor OF the power
which for years kept in motion the
wheels for a great Armory and which
properly applied would revolve millions
of spindles and put in action looms and
hammers that would make the noun
tains echo and re-echo with the busy
hum,-is allowed to be partially filled
with earth and is rented out for cultiva
ton as a potato patch! What a
stupendous enterprise! What mag
nifcent, grand and glorious Use Of an
invaluable power
With what transcendent carefulness
will the young vines be regarded and
nourished-through the blooming and
untilthe fruition. We have no doubt the
entire "Harper's Ferry and Water
Power and Manufacturing Company,
with President Plant at the head, will
be summoned at the digging thereof, but
we are not so sure that they will call
upon President Garrett for transporta,
ton Of the praties, as he, in his best
efforts, mostly usually non SUITS them

LAND SALES.
Effect ola Railroad.

A tract OF valuable coal land ON Loul
creek containing 10000 acres, has been
purchased 10y party of Baltimore and
New Jersey capitalists. This is part
of the "Wilson survey" and lies imme,
diately on the Kanawha river and
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
A tract containing 10000 acres lying
between Gauley and New river, and
near their confluence, in Fayette and
Nicholas counties has been recently pur
chased by Baltimore parties
Several tracts containing in the aggrc-
gate 5000 acres OF land, situated in
Fayctte and Greenbrier counties, have
been purchased by Howell, Fisher and
others, of Pennsylvania.
A tract containing 1000 acres III
Nicholas county has been purchased by
George w. Norris OF Baltimore.
Several tracts OF valuable coal land
on the great Kanawha containing 5000
acres, have lately been purchased bye.
7. Huntington OF New York, from the
heirs of James q. Paxton, deceased.
These purchases show what the
chesapeake and Ohio railroad is doing
for this portion of West Virginia. Its
rapid construction and the certainty OF
It's speedy completion have given de-
cided impetus TO land sales along the
line of the road and left no doubt that
the capital Of other sections will be llber'
ally and judiciously invested for the
development of our portion OF the State.
The prices of the above lands range
from S. to $40 per acre-C0,Ticr.

MEMBERS OF CONVENTION.

We would suggest to our friends
throughout the State that 1t is about
time some selections were being maze
of candidates for the Convention. AFTER
the Goth of August, the time will be
rather too short for the exercise OF that
care that should be had in choosing the
very best possible men for the work OF
revising the Constitution. That the
Convention will certainly be called APP
pears TO be a ioregone conclusion, and
we may as well be consulting with each
other as to the candidates whom We de-
sire to see elected as members Of that
body. 1t is Of the utmost importance
that the Convention be composed OF
the best men in the State. No mere
politicians are needed, no bitter partl-
sans, but straight forward, sensible and
upright men. We want statesmen,
men of enlarged views and practical
IDEAS, men who will frame such Con-
stitution as will suit the needs OF the
whole State. We believe that some
such men may be found in almost every
county. The Convention will be com
posed of the same number Of members
rs both houses of the Legislature have,
apportioned in the same way. 1t Will
be well to talk together about the mat
ter and, without waiting for formal
nominations, make some inquiry as to

BRAXToN Co., May 81, ISL


DEAR SIR: | think the Democatic
State Committee acted wisely in not
calling a Convention, Tor several reasons
not necessary to mention now. Our
County Committee meets on the 81 day
of June and will make all the necessary
arrangements to bring out the people on
election day. Braxton will give from five
to six hundred majority for the Conven-
tion-five hundred is my calculation at
least. So far as making it party ques
ton is concerned, that certainly was
done in the Legislature last winter and
the people now so understand it. The
Radicals now oppose it and the Demo
Gratis are solid for Convention.
Very Respectfully, r.

ANOTHER sCARE-CROw.

The Radical press has been trying to
fix up a sort OF Democratic scare-crow
for service during the ensuing campaign.
VALLANDIGHAM used to render tolerable
service of that kind few years ago,
and the whole Democratic party was
held responsible for all that he might
do or say Protests were unavailing.
Democrats might repudiate VALLANDiG-
HAM as bitterly and earnestly as they
would, and even VAL" himself might
declare that he spoke only his own SEN
timents and represented no one but
himself; but all to no purpose The
Radicals insisted that VALLANDIGHAM
was the onlySrepresentative Democrat
in the country and that the whole party
looked up to the Ohio Martyr" as
guide, counsellor and friend.
Recently, however, the distinguished
Ohioan has assumed new front. He
takes the wind out of the Radical sails
by proclaiming his acceptance Of the
Constitutional amendments; and his
usefulness as a scare-crow has ceased,
and the probability now is that the
Radicals will be as busy and vociferous
in denying that VALLANpiGHAM either
is or ever was Democrat as they have
heretofore been in asserting the reverse.
They tried for while to use the Ku-
Klux business as a bug-a-boo. but their
success in that line was not quite COM
mensurate with either their efforts or
the urgency Of the case, and it has now
been almost entirely dropped.
Just now, however, they have pitched
upon JEFF DAVIS as the very man they
want to take VALLANDIGHAMs place in
the aw-head,and.b loody-bones agita,
ton, and they are making vigorous ef-
fort to saddle the Democratic party with
all the indiscreet things that DAVIS has
said and all the revolutionary ideas that
he has not expressed at all. They say
that DAVIS is getting up a new rebellion;
that he is "fring the Southern heart"
that he is still advocating secession;
and they are circulating all that sort of
nonsense in the hope that somebody
may be scared and public attention may
be diverted from the stealipgs and other
villainies that characterize the Radical
administration Of affairs. The South

ern journals protest that DAVIS is not
endorsed there nor regarded as a leader
nor possessed of much personal infiu-
ence, but tits all the same to the Radi-
Gals. They wanted something to howl
about, and JEFF DAvIs seems to suit
their purpose for the present. They
will probably find that the people don't
scare quite so easily as they did during
the war and that the phantom business
is not likely to prove as profitable as
then.

MIR. Grogan of Brattlcboro gave one of
the most eloquent aud logical addresses up
on temperance, to crowded house, last
Sabbath evening at the Baptist church.
And we would say to the friends of total
abstinence If they wish to enjoy "feast of
reason and flow of soul" send for him.
May God bless him in this truly missiona-
ry work.
The morning OF the Fourth was ush-
cred In by the firing OF cannon and the
ringing of bells. Ate clock the Sabbath
schools of the four societ les commenced to
congregate at the various churches, and at
10 formed procession and marched to the
beautiful maple grove of b. l.. Barnard,
where seats were prepared and long Ia
bic bountifully loaded with choice refresh
ments for the whole multitude, The exer-
cises opened with prayer by Rev. Origen
Smith, b. l.. Barnard presiding. Then fol-
lowed music, the reading of the Declare
ton of Independence by l.. A. Butterfcld,
declarations and speaking by the Sabbath
school scholars and their pastors, after
which refreshments were passed, some fine
toasts read and responded to. The speak =
ing was all of the first order, evncing care
full thought and study, and desire TO ben
eftthe nearer, Old hundred was sung by
the assembly, the benediction pronounced
by Rev. Mr.. Amsden Of Dover, when the
people returned to their homes feeling that
they had enjoyed another occasion of profit
and pleasure; proud of their country, their
town, their ministers and public speakers,
and Sabbath schools.
