"A Marion county correspondent au
lhOrizes US to say that he will agree topay
Tor one years subscription 10 the 1NTELLI.
GENCER, If the editor oI that paper will
publish now what he said about Govern
or Jacob when nominated in l87O"-
Register yesterday.
Verywell; hereit is. We quote from
the leading article Of the INTELMaENcER
Of June TO- 1870, what we said, and all
we said, Of Gov JACOB, the day after his
nomination:
"TIE DEMoCATIC TICKET.
"The Charleston nominations are q sur.
prise TO both parties. The Register en-.
deavOred to oprepare its readers few days
snCs, by allusions to the nominations of
Polk and Pierce, for the discovery of
some new material; and we agree with
tue editor Of that paper that this is new"
AT least in part-and "popular"
The Republicans. The discovery of Mr..
IsCOb is due We believe TO the exertiOns
Of the delegation from this county, who
were greatly aided in their efforts by u
SgaCiOuS gentleman from the Eastern
Panhandle holding intimate connection
with very powerful corporation, with
which Mr. Jacob also has confidential
business relations. Mr.. Jacob who has thus
been rudely dragged before the public, is u
gentleman Of whom all we know is in his
IsvOF. lie is lawyer Of good ability; a
man OI good, plain common sense; rath-
eF reserved and impaSsive, though not
ctold, In manners; sensible but not fore.
IDLE or magnetic tAlker; apparently not
capable Of enthusiasm himself or Of in.
spring i: in others; but decidedly good
looking gentleman OF middle age. His
Gnlei recommendation to the party nom-
mating him is, We presume, first, that
nothing can be said against him, and sec.
Ond that be is the confidential agent Of
Si lhe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
company which, it chooses can lie quite
ApOTer in our politics"
The Register was 80 much pleased with
this thstitcopied part Of it and said it
was highly complimentary" to the sub.

Executive Department of the State. The
event mas shown this fear to have been
