The Appointment of Delegates 4

The Appointment of Delegates "a
the Philadelphia Convention.
From the ParkSrsburg Journal
"Why do not our State Executive Com.
mittee issue call? There Is little time
TO lose. AS there can be no possible mo.
tive for any strategetic movement Consid-
ePing the entire harmony and undfiimiEy
Of West Virginia Republicans, we sup

tho committee"
Why is the journal so nervous? 1t is
nearly sixteen weeks yet till the Philadel-
phia Convention meets; that is, nearly
four months. lfthere is any occasion for
p:ecipitancy, what is it? Considering
the entire harmony and unanimity Of
West Va. Republicans we suppose no
harm can result from avoiding indecent
haste. Unless the Journal has a candidate
that ii is afraid will not keep, we areat a
loss to understand its Importance. We
are not responsible for the committee, and
have no authority 10 speak for it; but, ex.
pressing our own opinion, we think the
seleCtiOnOf delegates 10 the Philadelphia
Convention should be deferred as long as
the necessities Of the case will permit
Our people can better judge by the latter
part Of May than they can now what
kind Of a delegation it will be iudicious tc
send. AS for tying the delegation up by
direct instructions, we suppose that is moi
contemplated even by those who are in
such hot haste to have it selected.

Steamboat Disasters.

The Missouri Republican publishes q
list Of the steamboat explosions on the
western rivers during the past iiity.six
years, with a table showing tho number
Of lives lost on each occasion. The mum.
Der Of explosions amounts to eighty.nipe,
and not q disaster Is recorded in which
no lives were lost. In five cases only
one life was lost In two cases two lives,
In four case three lives, and so on up to
the loss Of the steamer Sultana In 1854
the most fatal "accident" ol The kind ever
known.
Another singular fact in connection
with these steamboat explosions is thai
since the passgcota Congressional enact
mont in 1859, 10 provide safeguards
against accidents IRON this very source
the number Of causulaties has actually
been greater than il was before, and this
too, when there has been no real increase
Nm the number Of boats employed or Ii
thE number Of passengers transported
IIalftho aggregate tonnage on all tht
western rivers now is credited 10 barges, 81
that tbs steam tonnage is reduced below
the point 1t had attained when the own
ers were first held 10 rigid accountability
for all disasters. During the eighteen
years proceeding the passage Ofthe act o.
Congress, from ls34to 1859, the boiler
OF 27bOats exploded, and 1909 persons
were killed. From 1859 1870 "a boilers
exploded and 300 persons were killed
Yet II is during this last period that the
largest number Of appliances have been
patented for rendering boilers non.explO'

held accountable for all such disasters, Il
Is reasonable to infer that some at least Of
the many gauges, registers, safety.valves

The young man Richard, who is
charged with the rape of a small girl,
near Hedgesville last fall, has been ar
rested at Wamega, Kansas. At this
writing we DO not know that any
officers have gone after him. There
seems to have been some hitch and
play upon small technicalties in the
matter of procuring a requisition. In
the first place we are told Governor re-
turned the record without requlsition,
because the seal of the clerk had been
impressed upon the paper, and no scol-
loped wafer attached TO our mind
the wafer is all humbug, and a mere
matter OF taste. Whilst waiting for all
this the authorities may release Rick,
ard. In the second place the Sheriff,
in our opinion, should have gone with
the second record, procured the requisi'
ton and gone on after the accused,
without the delay Of waiting for the
slow process of mails TO and from
Charleston. This delay may cause the
discharge of the accused. In order to
apprehend criminals, officers must be
prompt and untiring, both in hunting
them down and bringing them to trial,
and it will be gross wrong upon society
if any man, no matter what his family,
kith or kin, through the hardness OF
either State, county or township official
escapes trial for so henious an offence

ORGANIC WEAKNESS

Immediately cured and full vigor restored.
This distressing atliictlon, which renders
life miserable and marriage impossible, Is
the penalty paid by the victims OF improper
indulgence. Young persons are too apt 10
commit excuses from not being aware OF
the'dreadful consequences that may ensue.
Now, who that understands the subject will
pretend TO deny that the power of procrea-
ton Is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent? Be-
sides being deprived OF the pleasure of
healthy offspring, the most serious and de;
structive symptoms OF both body and
mind arise. The system becomes deranged,
the physical and mental functions weak
ened loss of provocative power. nervous
irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation OF the
heart, Indigestion, constitutional debility,
aud wasting of the frame, cough, consump-
ton, decay, and early death.
DR.. Fishblatt graduated from one OF the
most eminent colleges in the United States;

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.

DR.. Fishblatt addresses all those who have
injured themselves by improper indul-
genceS and solitary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, uniting them for either
business, study, society or marriage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits OF youth,
viz: Weakness Of the back and limbs, palm
In the breast, dimness of sight, loss OF mus
cular power, palpitation of the heart, dys-
pepsia, nervous irrilability, symptoms OF
consumption, arrangement of the digestive
functions, &c.
MENTALLY.-The effects on the mind
are much TO be dreaded. Loss of memory,
confusion Of ideas, depression Of spirits,
evil fCreboding, aversion to society, self
distrust, love Of solitude, titmidity, &C., are
some Of the evils produced.
Thousands Of persons of all ages can now
Judge what is the cause of their declining
health, losing their vigOr, becoming weak,
pale, nervous, and emaciated, having sim
gular appearance about the eyes, cough, and
symptoms of consumption.

Editing q Newspaper.

Horace Greeley may not know much
about farming, but that he has a
thorough ard complete knowledge Of
the perplexities that beset an editor s
path is fully attested in the following
extract from his pen:
at is strange how closely men read
the papers. We never say anything
that anybody don't like, but we soon
hear of it, and everybody tells US about
it. If, however, once in while we
happen to say a good thing, we never
hear of that-nobody seems to notice
that. We may pay some man hum
dred compliments and give him dozen
pufs, and he takes it as attribute to his
greatness, and never thinks it does him
any good. But if we happen to say
anything this very man don't like, or
something he imagines is reflection
on him or his character, see how quick
he flares up, and gets mad about it.
All evil is duly charged to us, but we
never, apparently, get any credit for
what good we do"
