THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Many Democrats and Liberals were
both surprised and disappointed a,
the ticket adopted by the convention
last Saturday. If the Savannah
Ring did not control its actions
throughout, it is at least 3 fact that
every candidate belonging to that
compact ring vas put in nomination.
inst the same as if no convention had
been held and the ring had put forth
its own candidates. Some there were
in the convention who did not agree
with the arrangement Of said Ring,
and made an effort to break it down
by robbing them OF their pet candi-
date for Representative. 1t was Of
no avail, however, and the mandates
Of the Ring were obeved to the letter.
J. B. Kildow, the wiscst man in the
northern part 81 Andrew county,
who is only second fiddle to the Era
editor, is the contestant of DR.. n. B.
Brown for Legislative honors.
Then the head man Of the Liberals
the "Boss Tweed" ofthe Savannah
Ring-is put on the ticket for Treas
urer. 1t is presumed they selected
the best man they could find for tn.

Mr.. Huston-and the latter acknowl

to have no weight with the Conven

ton of the convention shows that the
people believe him honest. Begging
his pardon, we think the election il
November will be apt to show whsi
the people think Of his honesty and
efficiency. It is a point whether the
present Treasurer, il he would and
could successfully cover up . default

as the head center of the Ring, he de-

was put in nomination for Assessor

probably have vain notions of beating

The virginia township System.

The township system which was In
augurated in Virginia, under the con-
stitutien, as reconstructed after the war,
finds many opponents, on the ground Of
its expensiveness. The Lynchburg Vir-
qiinian recommends that the General
Assembly, now in session, takes meas
ures for q Constitutional Convention, to
the end that that and other expensive
features of the present State govern
ment may be done away with. 1t thinks
the representation of the counties in
the General Assembly is too large that
the length Of the legislative sessions
ought to be limited to sixty-six days,
with power given to the Governor to
extend them to ninety in extraordinary
cases, and that a poll-tax OF 81 should
be levied on every voter. There GER
tainly seems to be a waste Of money
when the sum of 100000 is required
for the expenses Of the State Govern
ment in six months, that being the
estimate of the auditor for the coming
half year.

We publish this. morning the Gov
errors proclamation announcing the
names of those who have been elected
members OF the Constitutional Conven-
ton. Notwithstanding more than two
months have elapsed since the election,
no returns from Mcdowell county have
vet been received at the Executive
office, and no person seems TO know
whether an election was held there or
not, but, as Mcdowell votes in the dele
gate district with Raleigh and Wyoming
the Governor has been able to discover
who was elected. Would it not
be well to organize all exploring expe-
dition to see whether there really is such
a place as Mcdowell county within the
limits of tn. State, or whether its loca-
ton is merely myth of the geogra-
pliers. We have no recollection OF
ever seeing a man who lived in Mellow
ell county, or Of ever hearing any person
say that lie had seen such an Individual.
The county has, on the map, "a local
habitation and name" and there is a
legend that out of l73 votes cast there
in lS70gthere was q Democratic ma
jority Ct IS. The census says also that
Mcdowell has a total population of
1852 and no negroes counted, and DIS
DKBAI (who we suppose was never

called Perryville and the other styled
Snale-root, and this is the sum Of all
the information attainable concerning

want stronger proof before believing
that there is any such place. club of
subscribers at Snake-root for the Weekly
REGISTER would convince us at once.
In the list of seventy-eight members
Of the Convention as set forth IN the
Governors proclamation, we recognize
the names of twelve Republicans. The
Democrats might, perhaps, have done
better if they had tried, bat it is well to
preserve a few specimens of race that
is rapidly becoming extinct in West
Virginia; one dozen will do. The
Convention meets in Charleston on the
10th of this month, two weeks from
tomorrow.

RAILROAD MEETING AT THE
COURT HOUSE TONIGHT.

Popular interest in the proposed sub
scription to the capital stock OF the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling & Kentucky
Railroad Company has been largely
on the increase during the past few
days. The advantages to be derived
from the proposed road are attracting
more general attention than ever before,
and several prominent gentlemen in the
city who were among the foremost in
opposition to the subscription last spring,
are now equally active in its favor.
A telegram was received from Pro
lessor PENDLEToN last Saturday, an
nouncing that he and Hon. LEWIS AP-
PLEGATE will be in the city today, and
it is accordingly proposed to hold
meeting at the Court House tonight,
to be addressed by these gentlemen in
favor of the road A full attend
ance OF the citizens is desired
and some arrangements will probably
be made for bringing to the polls next
Wednesday as large a number OF the
friends of the subscription as possible.
A three-ffths vote is needed, and it
behooves those who desire to see this
great improvement made 10 make
some effort to secure the polling Of a
full vote. There are hundreds Of vot-
ers who will stay aw y from the polls
next Wednesday unless specially urged
to attend. See to it that large vote is
secured.

THE NEW YEAR.

As we write, the year 1871 is about
to be numbered with the past and the
New Year is waiting to be ushered in.
The year now closing has witnessed
the usual amount OF joy and sor-
row, Of hopes realized and expects-
tons baffled, and the New Year will,
probably see the same, and $50 runs
the world away" If our wishes could
effect anything we would have the year
1872 full of glsdness for each Of our
friends and patrons, for the whole world
indeed, not excepting the small number
of those who sometimes wish US i'll, and
we would have grand changes in the
condition OF the poor and important
benefits conferred upon the city Of
Wheeling and the State OF West Vir-
ginia. But knowing how futile ia the
simple expression of desire and how
powerless are the best inclinations we
still venture to wish for all the readers
OF the REGISTER a very Happy New
Year, and we faithfully promise that,
so far as in US lies, it shall be so.
A newspaper should be mainly re-
flector, but it is also to some extent the
creator, Of public sentiment; and in SO
far as the REGISTER has influence in
moulding the opinions of men, it will
continue as heretofore to struggle for
the right, hoping with every new year
to witness the dawning of a better day,
q day when popular liberty shall be
fully respected and the world shall
cease to be oppressed. That the year
1872 will witness the realization of all
our hopes the experience Of the past
forbids us to expect, but that it will see
some substantial progress toward the
good and the true we steadfastly believe.
Let the new year be welcomed for the
possibilities of good to which it may
give birth, and for the contamination OF
which it may be conspicuously marked
in the calendar of posterity.
