appear to have deuoted his daughter, in his
oath to make her "the Lords" thus oblging
her to remain single, and denying him pos
terity; which, it is said, che went ITO bewail."
Further, we are told that the women Of Israel
went four times yoar to ''talk with" tho
daughter 0f Jephthah, as the original con-
veys by the word translated "lament." In
the Hebrew text the words are, "And it was
id,o in Israel that the daughters OF Israel
went yearly to MT ke presents to the daughter
Of Jephthah, the Gileadite. four days in the
year" The word rendered 'lament" in our
version Judges, II: 40l is in other places
translated reward, u ''hire," or 'gift." Four
different renderings OF the Hebrew original
have been made by commentators. each sup
porting the argument that the lite Of Jeph-
thah's daughter was not taken, but that she
wac devoted to the Lords service holy

On the warrlor-soul Of Jephthah
Fell the Spirit Of the Lord;
When he passed from fearful QneAd.
TO the Jordsn's border ford
All the lands Of heethen Ammon
Shifting with the Hebrew sword;
When he vowed q VOW to Heaven
Unto High Jehovah sware-
Saylng-"Ol thou God OF Israeli
Hearken now thy servants prayer:
And the spoils Of conquered Ammon
Let thy Hebrew people sharel
And I swear-O dread Elohim!
II thine arm shall fight for me
That, when return victorious,
Israols land in peace may be-
Whetso cometh first to meet me
Shall belong, o Lord, to thee!
When the Hebrew brow is lifted,
And the yoke OF Ammon riven,
Whatsoever, from my house-door,
Cometb forth before high Heaven
1t shall be the Lord Jehovah's-
For my frst burnt-offering given"
Thus the chief-and, straightway marching,
Over Arn0n'e threatening shore,
Smote he all the heathen strongholds-
Castled towns goodly store-
From tho walls Of ancient Minnith, ~
To the ramparts OF Aroer:
Smote the host OF Ammon's children,
Till they yielded far and nigh
Falling. like the withered grasses
When q simeon whirleth by,
Under sword OF mighty Jephthah,
Captain OF the Lord on high.
Through the tribes Of rescued Ieracl
Sounded valiant Jephthah's name;
Only Ephralm's jealous clansmen
Mocked the Hebrew hero'e fame;

Judge Barnard, for whose trial the
Court had been convened, was not
present. The Court was called to order
by Lieutenant Governor Beach in a
brief speech. After the conclusion Of
his remarks, Mr.. NJ. o. Bartlett I,
counsel for Judge Barnard, pre-
sented the certificates of three
physicians who had made affidavit
that Judge Barnard was suffering from
a severe attack of rheumatic gout,
which would for the present preclude
the possibility Of his attending the trial.
Mr.. Bartlett therefore asked the ad-
iournment of the Court for one week.
Mr.. Alvord, one of the managers, made
a few remarks in opposition to the re-
quest, which was refused. He then
moved to swear the members of the
Court. Mr.. Bartlett also protested and
voted to swear the Court, which was
done. Accordingly the names of the
witnesses were then called, only two or
three answering. The Court then ad-
iourned until tomorrow.

DEMOCRATS OF Kanawha have not
forgotten the dismal howl that wss
raised two years sgo, when Jacob bsst
Camden for the nomination for Gov

peoples favorite-Csmden, was beaten
by the corrupt use Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroads mosey-thst Jacob
was the agent and tool Of that rich cor.
poration. But Mr.. Camden did not
join the pack and become champion
howler-on the contrary, he bent all
his energies 10 secure the success OF the
nominee.
In 1872, Camden beats Jacob for the
nominations similar howl 10 heard.
Jacob promptly wheels into line with
the bowlers, begs for and obtains the
honor OF wearing their brass collar.
Comparisons are useless. Culyiey.

WETZEL COUNTY.
The First Gun OF the Campaign
Mass Meeting on M0nday-Wetzel
All Right for the Constitution and
the Straight Ticket.

New MARrrNsvlLLE, July l6.
Editors Of the Register:
The first gun Of the campaign was
fired in old (Democratic) Wetzel, Mon
day, July Is, 1872. Quite a large
number of persons assembled in the
Court House in the town of New Mar
tinsville, on the afternoon OF the above
named day and at night.
The meeting was addressed in the
afternoon by Hon. A. Brooks Fleming,
of Marion, and Col. Ben Wilson, oi
Harrison, and at night by the gentle
men namediabove and the Hon. j. W.
Gallaher, Of Marshall The speeches
were all splendid and were delivered in
the usual forcible and happy style so
peculiar to those gentlemen. The
speeches were effective and went far 10
remove a great many doubts entertained
by many persons.
J. y. Camden, our popular candidate
for Governor, will receive old Wetzers
usual Democratic majority, which every
one knows counts when it is all out.
There is no sympathy for Governor
Jacob here. The Governor had many
friends previous to his last movement
throwing himself into the hands OF the
Radicals, but since then his friend. re.
gard him as bolter and party disor.
ganizer, and express the utmost con-
demnation OF his course, and seem to
feel disappointed in the opinion enter
tanned of him heretofore. The new
constitution is increasing in popularity
every day as one fancied objection after
another is explained away. In fact, the
people are beginning to see that, as
whole, it is far superior 10 the present
one and is exactly what they desire. |
predict a large majority for the new
constitution in Wetzel.
Governor Jacob is censured very
much by the people here for not carry
ing out the trust imposed in him by the
Constitutional Convention in distribu-
ting in a proper manner, and placing in
the hands of the people copies of the
proposed Constitution, in order that
they may know and understand what
they have to. vote for in August. The
Governor sent to our county delegate to
the Convention 200 copies of the new
Constitution, which were distributed to
the best advantage. and these are about
all the county of Wetzel ever received,
and she has a population OF about 10000,
and about 1900 voters. This matter
should be seen to at once.
Horace Greeley would not get one
Democratic vote down here in Wetzel,
were it not that the people realize the
fact that it is necessary in order to
preserve our Republican institutions to
defeat General Grant and for that
reason and that alone they are willing
to make any political sacrifice in their
power and will roll up for that old life
long enemy of the Democratic party
the largest majority ever received by
any man in Wetzel.
Yours truly,
MOHAWK.

to address the congregation of the Lu-

the expectation that he would deliver

great surprise OF all...present, he de-
nouuced the abuses Of the Administra-

sp appeal in favor OF the Cincinnati and
Baltimore ticket. A stampede, headed
by the ministers wife, was the conse-
quence, and an indignation meeting was
organized outside OF the Church, bat

cool RObber.

From the Newburg N. " Journal.l
Policeman Badger, Of the Tenth Sta
ton, had bit Of experience the other
night he is not fond Of talking about
1t was past midnight as he was leisurely
pushing his beat through Jessup street,
and as he came opposite Draytou i
Fogg's jewelry store he observed CLEANS
OF light through the chiuks of the shut
tiers, and he raped at the door.
"Is that you, policeman ? asked a
voice within.
"Yes," answered Badger.
"Well, it's only me. It's all right.
Kind o chilly out isn't it
Yes"
Thought so. was just fixing the
fire. Good night"
Badger said good night and Pur-
sued his way.
An hour afterward Badger passed
through Jessup street again, and saw
the light in the jewelry store. 1t didn
look right, and he banged the door
loudly. -. -.
"Haloor cried the voice within; "is
that you, policeman
Yes"
"All right. Wont you come in aud
warm you? 1t won't hurt anything for
you to slip from your beat a minute.
The door was opened and policeman
Badger entered, and he found the in
mate to be very gentlemanly looking
man in linen duster.
Come right up to the stove, police
man. Excuse me a moment.
The man took the asbpsn from the
bottom of the stove and carried IT down
in the cellar and emptied it, and when
he had returned and wiped his hands,
he said with a smile:
Chilly night, isn't it?
"Yes."
"Chilly outside, and dull inside. An
other smile.) New goods for the spring
trade, and have TO keep our eyes open.
Lonesome work, this watching all night
but manage to find some comfort in
this. Won't you join me in tip. You'll
find it the pure thing.
And the man in the duster produced
a black bottle and tumbler.
Policeman Badger partook, and hav.
ing wiped his lips and given his fingers
new warming, he left the store and
resumed his beat, satisfied that all was
right at Drayton & Foggs.
But morning brought q new reveal
ment. Drayton & Foggs store had
been robbed during the night OF $1,000
worth OF watches and jewelry, and
though policeman Badger carries in
his mind an exact daguerreotype OF the
robber, the adroit rascal has not ye
been found.
