cor,re,smau McGrew Declines a Re-
election.

We have q card this morning from
Hon. JIG. SlcGREw, declining to be a can
Jidntc for reelection to Congress in the
second District. Mr.. McGREw docs not
assign any reason for this determination
hut whatever it may be, his retirement is
stbing to be regretted. West Virginia
has not vet had man in Congress who
for sterling worth and ability outrankcd
NJ. McGREw, nor one who enjoyed in a
higher degree the esteem Of his colleages'
We learn that there is to be q scramble
for the nomination; and that some gentle
men in the eastern panhandle, who
think the country greatly needs
them in Congress, claim that the
candidate now belongs to that locality
-asif candidates for high public station
were to be chosen for their geography in
stead OF for their brains-and we conjec-
ture that an unwillinguess to enter into
thscramblc or to be possible obstruc-
lion in the way of harmony in the party
orthe district, constitute q part Of Mr..
MCGREw's reason for withdrawal, though
we are aware that the life is distasteful to
him, and that he has for some time.enter-
lained purpose to end bis public life
with his present term.
1t is one Of the blunders-we might al
most say misiortuues-ot our people that
they insist on perpetual rotation in Con-
gress. It takes about two terms before
the average Congressman is good for
anything; and under this practice they
are ethen turned out so that we are served
always by comparatively new men, who
do not stay long enough to acquire
distinction for themselves, TO reflect
honor on the State, or 10 be of much
use to anybody. 1t was saying o.
ARTENAs WARDS that if you are righ'
you can't be too radical; nor too conscrva
tiVeii you are wrong. 1t would be u
good thing to apply the same logic to
our members of Congress. five get an
Incompetent ono his service cannot be too
short; il we get a worthy and capable

providing an annual salary tn the
secretaries, assistant secretaries,
clerks, sergeants-at-arms, ect., of
the General Assembly be repealed,
and that these officers shall receive
only such daily compensation during
the session as heretofore paid. In
this manner you can save $4,000 per
annum.
Is. I here reiterate my recon-
mendation that an act be passed
providing that all charters of rail-
road companies granted by the
State be repealed where work has
not been begun. By so doing we
shall release ourselves from the

I feel that in again pressing these
matters on your attention I but
discharge my duty. The delay by
your honorable bodies in respond
ing to these recommendations and
adopting measures of reform has
given rise to suspicion and doubt
as to the sincerity and good faith OF
the professions of your members,
especially those who are supposed
to be cooperating with me in the
administration of the State govern
ment. It is to set at rest all doubt,
if there could be any, as to my own
position on these matters, that 1
address you on this occasion. l
have repeatedly expressed my con-
fdence in the professions you have
made to me, and have gone so far
as to assure the public that no time
would be lost in responding to the
popular demand for political and
economical reform. So fully have
committals been made on this sub
ject that a failure to christalize them
into law would be universally, and,
I will candidly add, Justly regarded
as unmitigated treachery and con-
tempt for public opinion.

The meanest man in the world

The saying that "there is more
pleasure in giving than receiving"
is supposed to apply chiefly to
"kicks, medicine and advice"
"A Virginia paper describes a
fence, which is made of such crook

through he comes out on the same

Leigh Hunt was asked by a

When we inquired OF a friend

had been in an engagement wrote
to his owners that he had received
but little damage, having only one
OF his hands wounded in the nose.

that he once in his life beheld

happened at sea, the passengers
being too sick to attend to each
