THE EXPRESS BREAK.

A bedeViled public is prone to find
n victim speedily. In few instances
does the accuracy of sober judge
meut assert itself, until after limo.
cent parties have been made to suffer.
Although we have had the Adams Ex-
press, and the Southern Express, and
they have worked so tremendously
that from the mere facility with which
their transfers have been made,
the public have deemed them one
and the same party, and at the same
time it has been assured that the
point was conceded that, technically
ut least. the express business WAS
not the exclusive franchise Of any
one. Under the Owen" contract
with the Express Co., Gen. Malone
found that his road realized only
$3.50 per month, while the express
Co. realized over 81 900. Certainly
an unfair division, but the contract
was extorted under the pressure of
financial trouhle. and when it tcrmin-
atcd, a more liberal and fair contract
was asked. The Express Co., simply
refused to divide profits on any 9th
q basis, demanded the renewal of
the old contract, which gave the y
NJ. d .. r. r. Co., one dollar and
half out of every eleven and half of
the next profits. Gen. Malone had
but one remedy. VITO run his own
Express business. and offered the old
Co., every facility in the way
of connections and transfers,
These the company contemptuously
declined. There remained but one
way to overcome this unnecessary OBJ
stinacy. Packages could be prepaid
to Mahone's line and the old Compa.
ny must deliver to them as to any
other party. But not so in practice.
Recently the Wheeler & Wilson Sew
ing Machine Company had batch
of claims along Mahone's line to be
collected by Express. They were
prepaid to Petersburg. There the
old company returned them to the
consignors. and p cents each charged
for the refusal to deliver to Mahone's
Express, the only company which
could reach the parties. Sacks have
been prepaid to Petersburg with the
view of getting speedy shipment from
Bristol. The old company refuses to
deliver and sends them round by the
Gulf. A few days ago, the editor Of
the Ne,cs desired a package quickly
from Richmond aud had it prepaid to
I.ynchburg. 1t was four days delay
ed by being carried via the Gulf. On
its arrival, marked "paid to Lynch
burg" we we're told nothing was due
on il. The reason was it had been
taken at double the proper rate to
Lychburg. with the understanding it
should there be deli. cred to Mahone's
Express. Now it rather secnis 20 US

OK Tuesday last, one Cyrus New
lin. a carpet bag Attorney, of Union,
W. Va succeeded 50 far in violating
the laws Of decorum, as to tempt Mr..
Patton, the Attorney for the Com.
monwcalth. to break glass inkstand
across his nose. This man Newlip.
has been chiefly notorious for his eff
forts at driving out the native respcc-
table element of the population of
Monroe Co., and supplanting it with
such characters as drift loose from So
ciety elsewhere, These efforts to
wedge his nose between the edge OF
culture, and that unkindred element,
which forever assaults it, have been
borne with patient complacency, but
when he polsed his proboscis aforesaid
at Mr.. Patton's inkstand. the nose
was worsted. The aforesaid Newlin
exploded a esp on his deringer, and
there the matter ended, except that
the Grand Jury went for that derin-
ger like, fury. Truly tie inkstand
was mightier than the pistol.

18th inst. informing me, of the fact,
that had been nominated by tie Con-
sentative and Liberal Republican Con-

/ am not insensible of the honor
your Convention has done me by this
unsought and unsolicited nomination.
While l would have been much
gratitfed if your choic chad fallen upon
some one more worthy of your conf
dence than myself and more able to
defend your cause, L nevertheless,
recognize the right of my fellow citi-
zens, to demand of me any reasonable
personal sacrifice for the good of our
country.
1t is always best to be candid, and as
| do not wish to deceive those YOU rep
resent | will here say, that those who
nominated HE must have known that
during the late civil war, was an uI-
fiinchimg friend of the government of
the United States, an that my views
of that contest are unchanged. 1t
must, also, have been known to your
Convention, that / was sincerely and
honestly opposed to secession, l have
been, now am, equally opposed to tie

While have never been partisan,

pathies are with those who seek to
preserve and pcrpetuatc the Union Of
these States, 10y preserving the Consti-
tuition, which is the bond of Union,
and above all, do l sympathize with
those who desire To forgive and forget
the bloody past. Believing that can

DID THE BURNING OF CHICAGO PAY

DID THE BURNING OF CHICAGO PAY
DEBTS IN WISCONSIN ?-This question
may be easily answered. In law it die
not In fact it did not. But in fact. i
did what, for the time, being is nearly
equivalent to it. 1t stopped the pay
ment OF debts, Such at least we have
found to be SO to a very great extent
with those indebted to us. Before the
fire money was coming in to our satisfa ;
ticn--almost beyond our expectation--sc
much so that we thought wa should have
40 more trouble in the collection Of our
dues. La q day the Great Copfagration
consumed Chicago. The news reached
the people. And in q day payments
stopped, and they have never been re
nowe,l, only to Il slight extent. Such has
been our experience before and since the
Burning Of Chicago. And we think sucA
has been very much the experience Of
many Of the business men of Kenosha
We do not claim authority to speak for
others, but we have right to speak
for our56lf And we would say that
1t is impossible to carry on business
without money. and somewhat jnconve-
nient without receiving payment from
those indebted to US. Aud, as Chicago
has long ago revived, and has been and
is now actively engaged in business pur-
suits and rebuilding where the confa-
grafton laid waste, we Think it time for
those indebted to US to renew making
payments. For two years past Wo have
seut out bills about this time'tO subscrio-
ers indebted to Us aRd many responded
by payment. Now we print on cacn
subscribers paper the time to which he
has paid, and we would ask each one to
look at the credit given him on his
paper, ana, if that shows him in ar
rears, 20 consider himself called on for
payment. And W. hope the Call will not
DC made III FalE, except upon those VINO
think and.act as if The Burning Of Calcago
paid their debts, or at least postponed
the payment indefinitely There ale
also some indebted to Us for advertising
and job work whom we ask to sall and
make payment, And VIC SHALL expect
them to do so, with only the same excep-
ton made as TO subscribers. And we
hope the exception in both cases will be
