A FACT.

It's a singular fact, but II is true,
tha. the frat negro jury tha. has ever
sat in this State, is now sitting at Par.
kersburg-the home Of Stevenson and
Foreman, who contributed more 10 The
equality Of The races than any other two
men in the State. 1t Is TO be hoped
that they Che jury arc now on duty,
and in hot room. where they can ali
DO equally perfumod.
II would be well also to notice that
Harrison county has two representa-.
tlys' on the same jury.

A circular has been issued by Aaron
D. Peterson, stating that Mr., A. A,
Lewis voted for a bill to bring Convict
Iiaborcrs to work on the West Virginia
Hospital for the Insane. at this place.
Mr.. r., has been misinformed, as no
such bill was passed at the last session
Of the Legislature The bill referred
to leaves It optional with the Governor.
II was SO amended at Mr.. Lewis sug-
gestiOn, which was considered the best
way to defeat the bill and the result
has proved the ptOpriOty Of the posi-
ton, as Convict Labor has been aban-
donod. Why cannot Mr.. Peterson find
objections to Governor Jacob f,r
recommending Convict Labor for the
Hospital in his Message, lie says he
was good Governor, and endorses bis
message, which positively recommends
this kind Of Labor, leaving tho unmis-
taxable inference that Mr.. Peterson is
in favor Of Convict Labor.
II. S. Walker was not charged with
dcfrauling the State out Of $4,000
no such bill was before the Lcgisla.
turc. Mr.. Merrill presented spcciica,
tons against Mr.. Walker, setting
forth that certain bills for printing
were overcllarged. Mr.. Walker,
through a member, asked to be heard
in explanation, which. by common con-
sent, was granted. which proceeding
was not only usual, but just.

From every township and every

the tiiiugs of a stampede from the
