VIVA VOCE VS.. TEE BALLOT,

The NeV Era. this week, publishes letters
from Col. John Blair Hoge and Hon. A.W
McCleary, giving their unqualified approval
OF the ballot system of voting, and state that
they so labored and voted in the Convention
Now, Mr.. editor of the Spirit of Jefferson
what becomes of your assertion that ali of the
members from the eastern panhandle favored
the ot0a Ooce system? We pause for reply !!
berkeley onion.
A reply you shall have. In our comments
on the ballot system, heretofore, we asserted
what we believed to be fact in regard to this
Senatorial District, aud what we Eue,, from
our Intercourse with the people, to be fact
IN regard to Jefferson county. The following
is an exhibit of the standing of our represen.
tatives in the Convention:
Travers-for the uiUa voce system.
Faulkner-not present when the vote was
taken, but in favor of the viOa voce system.
by previous expression.
Morgan-tor the OiOa Uoce system.
Osbourn-for the viUa voce system.
Hoge-for the ballot.
McCleary--for the ballot
From this our readers may draw their own
conclusions-fomr to ttoo in the district, and
ecery representative from Jefferson. Thus We
stand in the Convention, and should an oppor
tunity be offered for the voice of the people
en- n,aSse, not only will Jefferson fondly sus-
tain her representatives, in this particular, but
we yet believe that old Berkeley has tho grit
to condemn the action of Messrs. Hoge and
McCleary in supporting the secret ballot .ys>

also swept out of existence Smiths SIS 900 of

the value of the land partly because there
were SO few negroes that Smith had never

because his land was not SO Immediately the

those to whom old Jones, with his proverbial
generosity, has gioen more than three times
as much property as he reserved for himself,
and who have robbed him of fully third of
what he had intended to. keep, have forced
the poor old fellow to eat so much more than
his '.pech Of dirt" that he rarely laughs now
and even when he does he has become so re-
duced upon his dirt diet, that he has no longer
"big belly to shake like jelly" For some
reason, which we have never clearly under
stood, Smith got mad with Jones for the yay
the latter behaved about the catastrophe, and
then he (Smith) dissolved the partnership.
Mr. Credit, being Influenced by the changed
condition of the parties, demanded payment
of the principal of the bond. Upon this old
Jones wrote to Smith telling him that the pro.
portion he ought to pay of this $40, 900 ought
to be calculated with some reference to their
comparative wealth at the time the bond be-
came duet and without any regard what.

by Jones from the sad catastrophe, which had
so much reduced the wealth of both. Where
upon Smith wrote the following:

Thomas Jones, Esq:
SIR 1t is true that did become 1oiutzv
liable with you for that $4,000; it is true
that ny honesty and my property were some
of the causes which induced Mr.. Credit to
trust us; and it is certainly true that if the
bond had been promptly paid when it became
due, and, therefore, while was yet member
of the partnership, should have been bound
to pay part of it. But you traitorous old
reprobate, we have dissolved partnership now;
and as the Factory still remains ON your land,
aud the dissolution of partnership after its
debts have become due, gives legal and
moral right to repudiate those debts, WONT
PAY ONE CENT OF THAT BOND!

The report of the committee upon the iudi.

taken up in Committee of the Whole. So far
several efforts have been made to amend it.
but up to this time all have failed, and the
report, so far as it touches the court of appeals
stand precisely as it came from the Judiciary
committee. The attempt to reduce the mum,
Der OF judges of the Supreme Court to- day
from four to three gave rise to a protracted
and interesting debate, but the views of the
committee were sustained by large majority
When the Convention adjourned it had
taken up the subject of the Circuit Courts.
and an effort was being made to increase the
number of circuits from eight to nine, so as to
give to the eight counties east of the ALLIE
ghany mountains two circuits instead of one.
NO action was had upon that proposition when
the committee rose.
"A movement was made in the Convention

the part OF the members of that body that

way 70 preserve it is TO wash the scalp or
ten and thoroughly with water, drying
with towel. Oils. pomades, etc, clog the
pores of the scalp and prevent the healthy
growth of the hair. Keep the head well
rentilGsed; if the hat is close, raise IL often
and let in fresh air; never wear the hat in.

wear long hair (Which is more likely to
fall out,) seldom are bald-hesded. Their
heads are net kept closely covered. In
sleeping, do not cover the head with 8
