An Anchor to WindWarG.

II is good seamanship, when there is rea-
son to expect heavy weather, to drop an
anchor to windward.
Wearc in the midst of the season Of chills
and fever. The sure preventive of this dis
treSSing malady is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. A a course of that wholesome
vegetable tonic will render an attack i'm
possible. Take the hint and drop on anchor

Weak Stomachs are most liable to De dis
ordered late in the autumn, when the
changes of temperature are marked and
frequent. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for
titles the stomach against the effects OF
these variations. Let dyspeptics make a
note of this fact, and drop an nncIortO WiHd-
WGrd.
The liver IS more sensitive when the
weather Is continually alternating between
the warmth OF summer and the cold of win
ter than at any other period of the year.
This Is peculiarly the season of such alter
ations. Let the bilious remember that Hos

anti-bilious medicine, and drop an anchor 10

The wisest plan is TO forestall evil. The
next best thing is to arrest 1t. For disorders
OF the stomach, irregularities of the bowels,
and all periodical feverS, take, as soon as
the complaint develops itself Hostetter's

DEMOCRATS must remember that the
surest way of destroying the success
and usefulness Of the Constitutional
Convention is TO permit it to fail into
the hands of its enemies. 1t is posi-
BILE that the composition OF that body
may be such that the delegation from
Ohio county may be sufficient to turn
the scale. 1t is therefore OF the
utmost importance that our delegates
be men who sympathize with the OBJ
iects OF the Convention and Will exert
their influence to make it a success.
We cannot afford to run any risk in
this matter. The candidates on the
Radical ticket are men who opposed
the call Of the Convention and will
endeavor to fasten upon us the Old
Constitution without change. We must
see to it that every Democrat in the
County and Senatorial District is on his
guard against the efforts that are being
made to elect men to break mp the Con-
vention.

The distinguished chieftain who' from
the corner of Quincy and Main streets,
hurled defiance at the enemy, suppressed
the rebellion and saved the government,
was not in procession with the Army Of
West Virginia at its reunion yesterday.
Why was this thus? Such brilliant
strategic abilities as were exhibited by
the former editor OF the IntelHgsaeer and
such eminent services as were rendered
BY him during the war, should give him
a conspicuous place among the soldiery
of West Virginia. His absence on this
gala day suggests the narrowing thought
that he was never with these actual sol
diers upon "the ridge Of battle or in
the fierce shock Of deadly fray.

Some amusing jokes have occurred
at the expense Of some Of our citizens
since the "Bullgine" has made its ap.
pearance in our county.
One of our good looking young men
happened to be working on the railroad
near Guyandotte when the locomotive
was first put on the track. With an
air of superior knowledge he threw his
head back and said, won't those green
horns at Barboursville, who never saw
a locomotive, open their eyes when
they see this one" at the same time he
placed his hands on the we'll polished
steam chest, which being heated, blister
ed his hands, so that he took them off
quicker than he put on. How are you
greenhorn?
Several young bloods were looking
at the locomotive crossing Mud bridge,
which stopped when about half way
across it. One Of them asked why 1t
stopped, when one of them replied,
why, YOU Id fool, don't you see the
wind is blowing 80 hard that it will
blow it off the bridge if it attempts to
cross now. 1t has to wait till the
wind quits blowing"
A gentleman seeing the locomotive
running backwards and coming towards
him, said to others standing by, that
must be the new locomotive, as it has
its smokestack behind while the old
che has its stack in front. This gentle
man has travelled over railroads. OF
course he paid the drinks on that.
Another gentleman in the same
crowd while going over the hill pointed
to nine small houses on the depot
grounds which had been brought up
from Huntington on wheels a few min
utes before, when another one in the
crowd innocently remarked, why,
how they get put up there so quick Z?
| Twas over there this morning, and there
was not even any plank there then"

A FRIEND in Barbour county writes to
call our attention to the 18th section Of
Chapter 95 OF the Acts OF the Legisla-
ture Of 1871, aud wishes to know
whether a separate ballot box and sep
arate poll books will have to he pro-
vided for the election Of members OF the
Constitutional Convention.
We have examined the Act referred
to and are Of opinion that no ballot box
or poll books except those provided for
in the general election law and used in
the election of members OF the Legisla-
ture are required. We are quite sure it
was not the intention Of the Legislature
OF 1871, in passing the Act in question,
10 provide for the holding of separate
election for members of the Convention,
and that the intention was to have the
delegates elected on the same ticket
with candidates for the Legislature,
using the same ballot box and poll
books. The language Of the section
referred to will bear this construction.

committee 'is called to meet at this Office

So bitter is the partisan hostility OF
the Radicals against everything advoca-
ted by the Democrats, that they would
be glad to hinder in every possible way
the success OF the Constitutional Con,
vention. They are laboring to attain a
majority for the purpose of breaking up
the Cow ention and preventing the
adoption Of any amendments to the Con-
stitution. /! this fails, they think they
can make party capital by Opposing
whatever measures OF reform may be
brought forward and eventually reject
ing whatever Constitution may be form
ed Their sympathies are entirely
against the movement; they have re-
sisted it in every stage OF its progress
and will continue to do so till the end.
Then why should Ohio county be ex-
pected to assist these factious individ-
uals in the work OF obstruction ? II you
want the Convention to do its work
tremendously and successfully, let
CANrsELL, STANTON and Company stay
at home.

The Radicals could scarcely have
named a more Objectionable ticket IN
Ohio county if they had made their
nominations with that end in view. 1t
embraces the men who have been fore
most in the work of prescription and
persecution; the men who, of all others
in the Republican party, are least en-
titled to Democratic sympathy and
favor. Whatever they could do in the
past to harrass and Cypress those who
differed with them in political opinion,
they were always swift TO do. But
now, being in the minority, the Demo-
Gratis having obtained ascendency in
spite Of disfranchisement and wrong,
these men ask their former victims to
bow their necks again. They will laugh
at the credulity and blindness OF any
Democrat who gives them his vote, and
when once again in power they will
spuru and spit upon thos" whose sHt'
irage they now seek.

LET it not be forgotten that while the
very men whose votes are now solicited
TO elect Mr.. A, w. CAMPBELL to seat
in the Constitutional Convention were
struggling to obtain their political
rights, he was laboring in the cause OF
Acknowledgement and oppression. He
was the advocate and defender of all
the infamies perpetrated by the Legisla-
lures Of GA, '65 and &c. He wrote COL
umn after column to vindIcate the poll
cy of the test oaths and prove that no
Democrat has any right to vote. lie
now wants Democrats to torsake their
own nominees and send him to the Con
vention. What rights would any Dem
ocrat be permitted to enjoy under such
a Constitution as 4. W. CAMPBELL and
Governor STANTON would frame? How
long would it be before political op-
preston and persecution would be
renewed, if these men had the power to
inaugurate it afresh?

WHEN any responsible person charges
that the Democratic candidates for the

for them to make denial or define their

THE REASON.-SOme of our eX-
changes are puzzled at the action Of
the Democratic Central Committee OF
San Francisco i'll nominating the dele
gates to the State Convention instead
OF holding primary meetings, after
t--ev had SO generally disaaproved the
action of the Republican Committee
for doing the anne thing. 1t should
be remembered that in the case of the
Democracy, this question of holding
primary meetings. or appointing by the
Committee was submitted to a OF
the Democracy at the last primary
and that a majority voted for appoint
ing the delegates hereafter. There
fore in making these appointments
the committee is sustained by especial
order from the body of the voters.
Hence there has been but little dis
satisfaction.

spring above the town. The Major is
