Judge Kennedy for Attorney Gen
cral.

| cral.
The claims of Judge Kennedy, OF
Jefferson, for the Attorney Generalship
will be pressed at Parkersburg. Mr.
Kennedy opposed secession, and was
a consistent Union man during the
war-siding with the war Democrats.
He has been a member OF every
Democratic Convention in the State
since 1868, and represented West Wiz"
giuia, as delegate for the State at large,
in the New York Convention Of 1868.
After an experience OF upwards OF
twenty-five years at the Jefferson Bar,
he is now about to move his residence
to Charleston; he is widely known in
the State, and bis friends, thinking he
deserves well Of the now dominant
party, intend to press his claims vigor-
ously. We copy from the Winchester
Times and Spirit Of Jefferson as follows:
The Conservative csnd dates for the
State offices who are to serve if the
Constitution is adopted, will be nomi-
mated by Convention which will meet
at Parkersburg on the Both OF this
month, and a Convention OF delegates
from the different townships OF our
county will meet on Saturday, the 25th
day of My, at IL o'clock, A. NJ, to ap'
point county delegates to the Parkers-
burg Convention.
The following paragraph we take
from the Winchester Times:
JUDGE j. w. KENNEDY.-We learned
the other day in Charlestown, that the
friends Of Judge J. w. Kennedy would
press his claims strongly for the nomi-
nation as Attorney General Of West
Virginia. Judge Kennedy has always
been in sympathy with the good people
OF that State, for which reason the Rad
ical Legislature turned him out Of office.
1t would seem bat fair that the victim
of Radical malignity should now be re-
warded by the Conservative party for
his manly independence"
Judge Kennedy is too well known in
our county to render il necessary to
give an extended statement of his course
heretofore. He was opposed to seces-
sion, and during the war was q con-
sistent Union man, though he took no
active part in the controversy. After
the war he was elected Judge of this
circuit, but was almost Immediately re-
moved from his office by the Radical
Legislature of the State upon charges
which every one in our community
knows were false. The unjust course
of the Radicals towards him, and
towards the people of this county and
State generally, caused him ever since
the war to cooperate heartily with the
Conservative party Of the State. His
friends claim that the unjust persecu'
tons OF the Radical party towards him,
and his active assistance in breaking
the rule of Radicalism in the State,
should commend him to the favorable
consideration Of the people OF our
State, and especially OF our county, OF
which he is a native. JEFFERSON.

The Monroe county Waterman says
that the name of WILLIAM MoCRRARY
Of Raleigh, will be presented before the
Parkersburg Convention as a candidate
for State Treasurer. Mr.. McCRsARY
was a member Of the Constitutional
Convention and, although never making
a speech, was one of the most useful
and practical members Of thst body
His business qualifications and fnan-
cial experience may be judged from the
fact that be was cashier OF the Farm
ers' Bank at Fincastle, Va, from 1856
until the close of the war and also Of
the bank, in 1865.

The fire that desolated the little
town of Somerset, in Bedford county,
Pa, last Thursday night, was scarcely
inferior in the comparative suffering it
has produced to that OF Chicago. The
total loss is near million dollars, and
that represents about two-thirds OF the
town. One hundred and thirty families
were rendered homeless, and many OF
them destitute. In comparison with
the Chicago fise these figures appear
small, but still the people of Somerset
have suffered the loss Of all they had;
the people of Chicago could lose no
more. We are glad to see that neigh
boring towns and cities are Fastening to
their relief. A public meeting in aid OF
the sufferers was held in Cumberland
last Saturday night, and we believe that
contributions were sent from Pittsburg
on Saturday. A relief committee, con-
sisting of ISAAC ANEENY, JOSEPH M
HoFF, SAMUEL G.. BAILEY and HENRY
BENroRD, has been organized in Som
erset, TO whom any Of our citizens who
feel like contributing may send their
donations.

The City Of Sa ndusRy, It's Business
and Commerce.

The city of Sandusky is precisely
midway between the east and west lines
Of the State, and it is south fifty miles
from the north line on the eastern, and
forty from the same line on the western
extreme Of the State. 1t is also mid
way between Cleveland and Toledo.
Its railroad facilities are good, being
the terminus Of the Lake Erie division
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad {;
also, OF the Cincinnati, Saudusky and
Cleveland road. The Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railroad is now
completed and opened up to traffic and
travel, placing the city Of Sandusky on
the great through line from Chicago to
New York
The position the city occupies on the
lake is peculiarly advantageous. The
harbor is ample for fleet Of a thousand
vessels, being almost entirely land.
locked; easy of access, being in the
great southern curve of the lake.
By the lakes the city has access to
over 5000 miles of inland coast. on
which are over 100 commercial towns
and cities, reached by the cheapest
mode OF transportation known-stesm
and sail vessels. The city at this time
contains an enterprising population Of
1900, largely engaged in manuiactur-
ing and commercial pursuits.
The lumber trade amounts to g, 000,.
600 annually and is constantly increas-
ing.
The fish trade in 1865 was put down
at 81 100000.
The product OF manufactures was, in
1865, 81, 100000.
The number Of entries at the port Of
Saudusky in 1871 was 1856, with an
aggregate of Al, 227 tons burthen; the
clearances were 305S, with 434, 942 tons
burthen. ....
speak of the year 1865 above be-.
cause l have the figures of that year
before me. Since that time there has
been constant increase in all DEPART
ments Of business, and many new en-
terprises and new manufactures have
gone into operation since that date.

A CASE FOR THE FEDERAL
COURT.

A curious Illustration Of Republican
zeal for the negro was shown in the
Convention at the Court House last Sat.
urday. The business was the appoints
ment Of delegates to the Grafton Con-
vention and Notwithstanding the ne
groes of the county have shown them
selves a most tractable and reliable
body of Republican voters, always
ready to vote early and often for the
Radical nominees. they have been studi.
ously overlooked in the selection OF can
didates for Office and were no less care.
fully ignored in disappointment OF town
ship delegates to the State Convention
Some one concluded on Saturday that
the matter was not altogether fair,
and thought that some negro dele
gates should be chosen. The great
mass of the colored people Of the
county live in Madison and Clay
townships, but the delegations from
these townships had already been
selected, were all white, and not one
white man in the lot could be found to
give way to his colored brother, or to
stay in the delegation with a colored
brother alongside. The problem vas
at length solved by the selection Of two
very respectable colored citizens to 60
as delegates at large" representing the
negro vote OF the county, but the cir
cumstances certainly make up clear
case of distinction on account Of race
and color" and have placed the Repub-
lican party in the attitude of violating
the Fourteenth amendment and the
civil rights bill. We call the United
States Attorneys attention to the mat
ter and suggest the sebject as one proper
to be inquired into at the present term
of the Federal Court.

eminent aid The Canadian Government gives
a subsidy of $175O per mile to both branches,

furtherance of the work.
The whole line from Vermont to Montreal is
singularly easy to construct The surface of
the country is just uneven enough to shed the
surplus rainfall. The cost for grading will be
an insignificant item. The body of the soil is

line. The communities are abundantly able to
build the road. The soil is productive Hay,
oats, barley, potatoes, live stock, dairy pro-
ducts, ETC., are marketed in large amount.

night the Clarenceville people gave their rail
