TIE protest of the Western Union
Telegraph Company against u certain
scheme pending in the Senate of the
United States, TO have the Government
seize the telegraphs Of the country and
attach them to the postal service, IS a
paper that will repay reading. 1t fur
nishes some cogent reasons, though by no
means all that exist, that forbid such q
measure on the part Of Congress. 1t fur
nishes reasons enough TO show that pri.
vate jobbery is at the bottom Of the
scheme; and that besides an absorption
of powers by Government over private
affairs that is TO be deprecated, it would
really cost the country much more to
have the telegaphs run by the Govern.
ment than by private owners. The
document was telcgraphed us Wednesday
night, but we could not make room for it
yesterday morning.

Belmont County.
Prom the 81 Cllirsvllle Chronicle.

From the SL ClAirsville Chronicle.
A convention OF the fruit growers Of
Belmont county for the 10th Of March, at
st. Clairsyille, TO consider the kinds Of
fruit best adapted 10 the soil and climate,
and the bestmcthodS Of planting and nur.
turing orchards. a. u
ANToUfTIEs.-The records now on file
in the Clerks office were begun In 1904,
and at that time court was held In this
place, then called Rewellsville, which
name II retained until alter tho victory
OF General 81. Clair, when Il was changed
TO St. Clairsville The territorial courts
were held at the village OF Pultney,
which we suppose 10 be the same as the
present Dillie's Bottom. The two years
intervening between the admission OF the
State and the commencement OF the rec.
ords seems TO have lost its history. to-
gether with that Of the territorial courts.
The place OF holding courts In that
early period was q log building owned
by John Hammerly and was situated
near the present location OF DR.. Vests
Drug and Hardware Store The building
was partly occupied by Mr.. Hammerly
doing some business In the merchant line.
The general course Of business seems 10
have been much the same as now with
the exception Of o great dearth OF divorce
cases, from which We infer that married
folks had less cause for public considera-
ton OF their fitness or unHtness for each
other. Men did evil then as now, and
one 'unluCky wretch had the misfortune 10
stab with ten cent knife, which we
suppose 10 have been q Barlow" one
H0ltz, once too often, wlereupon said
Holtz was interested in common every
day affairs no longer. The murderer,
Sunderland, was tried, found guilty and
sentenced 10 be branded In the palm Of
the LEFT hand. The prisoner having re-
ceiyed the prescribed brand was set free.

journed on Friday, the 10th inst, and TO

Those Little Bills for Fitting up
the Hall for the Convention.

lOh tHC SSANbANyhS.
1t gives Us much pain 70 learn, as we
do from report in the Kanawha Daily,
that the town Council Of Charleston,
KanawhA county, West Virginia, disap-
proves Of the INTELMdENcEn, We find
the following document in the proceed.
ings Of that body, at meeting held about
the 10th: .... H..... "H. atHa
"WHRREAs, The Wheeling INTRLLI.
GENCER has published certain false state.
ments In regard TO tho building furnished
BY the city 10 the Constitutional Conven.
ton, stating that the said Convention had
to pay various bills for the fitting up Of
the said building; N g... '.l
IIeS0lped, That copy oil the thanks
sent TO the City Council by the COnven'
ton expressing their thanks and satisfac.
ton for the said building, be sent 10 the
editor of the Wheeling lNTELLIGRNCERl
demanding him to publish the same.
Now, the Wheeling INTELLIoENcEH
responds that II did say substantially that
these bills were presented to the Conven'
tion for payment, and that the Conven-
ton had TO provide. Tor their payment.
Orr authority for the statement will SUI
Gcienuy appear from the following extract
from the official journal Of tho ConVon.
ton, under date Of February 9:
"On motion Of Mr.. Wiley,
"ReOgUetl, That all the accounts Of ex.
penses in fitting up this hall, and, also, Of
the committee rooms, procured for the use
OF the Convention, after being audited and
allowed by the Committee on Accounts
he certified by the Clerk Of the Conyen
ton TO tire Auditor Of Public Accounts lol
payment out of the treasury Of the State
Subsequently the Convention directed
the Committee on Accounts TO ascertain
and report "the terms upon which, thu
Convention occupied the hall and com
mittee rooms. This committee LOOKED
into tho matter and reported that they
were informed by member of the com
mittee appointed by Gov. JACOB to seleci
asuitable hall TO be used by the Conven
ton that sail expenses, including rent
&c, attending the hireing of the hall, will
be paid by the town Of Charleston" W.
infer that upon this report thu
order for the audit and payment o
these bills out Of the State treasury
was countermanded. Might we no
also infer, il uncharitably inclined
that If this inquiry by the Committee OF
Accounts had not been set afoot, the ordel
of the Convention would have been car
red out and the bills would have beer
collected of the State? And now viii
the honorable City Council of 1.-THE tow
of Charleston" please explain, since the
arc in communicative mood, why thes
bills were ever presented to the Conven
tion at all, Charleston being pledged t
pay them9 a5 ..l
II the resolution Of thanks referred t
comes TO hand accompanied by respect
full request for publication, we will prIn
itwith pleasure; but VIC never TO such
thing on demand"

We infer from reading the Clarksburg
Telegraph That there is an unlawful con.
spiracy somewhere among Republicans
in West Virginia, "in high places" to
have the Philadelphia Convention nomi.
nate some other Republican than Gen.
GRANT for the Presidency. This is wick.
cd and intolerablc. We hope the ISk.
graph will sec not only that the conspi.
racy is put down, but that the miscrcants
engaged in it arc punished. How dare
any Republican favor the nomination Of
