RRAXToN county is represented in the
House of Delegates by Hon. GEORGE
II. MORRISON. who ia one of the most
persistent and windy opponents of the
proposed removal OF the State Capital
from Charleston to Wheeling. As in
dicating the opinion of at least one
other citizen of that county in relation
to this matter we copy the following
extract from a Braxton county letter
which is published in the Weston Dem
orrot of this week:
I'VE are observing the action of the
Legislature with much interest just
now, as the agitation of the Capital
question is likely to result in some
good to us, at least, il detached from
Charleston; tor to the citizens OF this
and adjoining counties Charleston is
the most inaccessible point within the
bounds of the State. The latest
Charleston papers received here came
to hand just one week after Wheeling
papers OF the same date, and then con-
tain I. nothing but an insignificant
arrav of local advertisements interest,"
ing on1y to few inflated Charlestoni-
ans, who labor under the delusion OF
supposin. that halt dozen bolts OF
cotton cloth, aud as many pieces OF
calico, constitute an immense wholesale
drv goods establishment; together with
other equally nonseusical suggestions.
OF course, in saying this much, we
mean no disrespect to those sim ple-mind
ed peoples and would cheerfully aid them
in q legitimate manner, if found de-
serving of charity; yet We protest
against q state of affairs that sacrifices
the interests OF three. iourths of the peo-
pie OF the State, without resulting in
any material good to even a few deluded
inhabitants OF Ksnawhe county.

Capital, in order that the friends of the
measure may realize that the struggle
is by no means over, and that the sue
cess of the effort is not at all assured.
HOW WOULD IT LOOK FARTHER
NORTH.

Here are some salient points in the
news from New Orleans:
/. There 10 a dispute az to who is
elected Governor of Louisiana. Each
side claims the victory; and each side
has Returning Board to certify to it..
2. One OF the candidates, Mr.. Kel-
logg, is now a United States Senator.
The Constitution of Louisiana makes a
United States officer ineligible to the
Governorship. 1t is claimed that 9
case many years ago gives q precedent
for constituting the Constitution against
it's language; and this, in turn, is de-
MED. ~.- . .'
3. 1t is not pretended that Senator
Kellogg vas actually elected Governor.
Ii is only claimed that he would have
been elected, II all the negroes had been
allowed to vote. His opponents deny
that any were hindered.
4. The State Court sustains Kellogg
opponent; the United States Circuit
Judge sustains Kellogg. On this the
United States troops are pledged 10 GUS
tain Kellogg, by the Attorney General,
speaking for the National Administra'
ton.
Suppose these things were done in
Kentucky or Maryland, instead Of
Louisiana?
The above very fair synopsis of the
troubles in Louisiana appears il the
New York Tribune of Saturday. Now
if the Administration succeeds in pur-
chasing the position Of editor for Vice
President CoLFAx, we predict that
there will be no more articles Of that
kind in its columns. GRANT is not dis
posed to have so powerful a journal in
opposition to his schemes, therefore he
sets his friends to work for the purpose
Of bringing the tone Of that paper in
harmony with his administration.
There is no good reason why the
course pursued in Louisiana should not
be followed in West Virginia also. The
Wheeling Intsl1igcncer denies the valid
ity OF the August election and might,
with the same propriety that has been
observed in Louisiana. call upon the
Federal government to interfere and set
.s;de the election. To be sure, some Of
the elements OF the. Louisiana case do
not exist here. Fortunately, the Judge
of the United States Court is a man
who knows and has some regard fol-
law and cannot be swerved from the
line of duty by any political blandish-
ments, and, so long as he retains bic
position, there need be no fear Of
serious conflict between the State and
Federal judiciary. This is allthat saves
us from Louisiara's fate and the en-.
forcement by Federal bayonets Of the
notions promulgated by the Intelligencer.

SEVERAL bills have been introduced
in the Virginia Legislature looking to
the formation OF a State insurance
company or companies, the revenue
from which is to be paid into the State
treasury. Virginia is resorting to
every possible means of replenishing
her State treasury, and proposes this as
one of the means for the payment Of
expenses of the State government and
interest on the public debt.

ROBBERY, Gad almost Nmdcr.-
On Saturday night last, as Mr.. 10
Blanchard was returning home, III
the upper part Of the city, when be.
tween tile residences Of Col. Single.
ton and Rev. a. ID. Barlow, he pass
ed three negro men in a group on
the side walk. Soon after passing
them, Mr.. Blanchard was knocked
down from behind, with bludgcon
Of some sort, causing a severe con-
fusion on the back Of his head, and
rendering him senSeless for some
time. When he recovered his sens
cS, two Of the negroes were standing
over him, but upon his hallooing for
help, they fled. Mr.. Blancllartl's
cries were heard by Mr.. Bell, near
by, with whose assistance he was
enabled to get home. He was in a
precariollS condition for two or three
days, conclusion of the brain being
threatened, but we learn he is now
recovering. 49,. The motive for this
lnock-down must have been simply
robbery, for Mr.. b. says he is not
aware of having an enemy. He had
been down town for the purpose of
buying some needed supplies, as
most working men do on Saturday
night, and was returning home at
about nine O'Clock, with his bundles
under his arm. These villainouS ne
groes were doubtless hungry, having
stood round the streets all day idle,
because they could not get their
own high price for work, J ard thought
this was Il good opportunity to get
"a square meal" This is our own
opinion; we do not know what Mr..
Blanchard's may be.
The lesson to be learned from this
occurrence is, that every man who
goes out at night-especially if he
lives remote from the Square-ought
to go armed, if not with a six-sho0ter
at least with big stick, and keep
his eyes well about him, 'hind and
fore" when he is approximating a
squad of negroes, or "any other
man.. -. And right here we wish to
enter our protest against this occur
renee being used by the advocates
of night police to induce our City
Fathers to saddle upon us that incu-
bus and expense again. Suppose
there had been three policemen on
duty that night, would either of
them have been in that part of the
city,Or near enough to have rendered
Mr.. Blanchard any assistance that
night! Not bit of it. They would |
have been lowering about the square;
and perhaps in some back room, |
playing poker. But of this, more |
hereafter.

AT the present p,ices, cotton is a
profitable crop, and our planting
friends are preparing to put in
a larger acreage than usual. If
the season should be favorable, the
yield will be large and the price con
sequently low. A crop of three-and-
a-half million bales will sell at an
average of 800 per bale Of 450 lbs,
yielding to the South S3l5,O0O, 900;
while a crop of four-and half mil
lion bales would not sell at an aver
age of above $50 to $6j per bale
yielding to the country only $780,
100000, to 1922, 00O,0 900; or from
t,centy-t,co and a-haV to forty,fre
million dollars less than tile smaller
crop.
The labor required to cultivate
and gather the extra million of bales,
would, if properly directed, produce
an abundant supply Of grain and
grass to supply food for the people
and stock of the whole country. The
people would then be in much more
comfortable position-get out of debt,
improve their property, make their
homes comfortable, and take a fair
start up hill. If planters could get
on stump Out side of their own
and look over the whole
Southern cotton plantation they
would see things just as | write, but
so long as they look only at their
own patch,-with avarice for spec |
tacles, they will go on after the old |
pattern, and die i'll poverty, leaving
their children without a home; while
old England and New England will |
get richer by working up thier cot
ton, which the planter had to sell
1t less than it cost to produce, in
order to get bread from the North
west which they could have grown
cheaper at home. CHYRRH.
