IT IS announced that Hon. JOHN j. DA.
Wis Of this State Is the only Democratic
Congressman who refuses under any cir.
cumstances to support the Cincinnati
ticket We do not happen to have many
points Of agreement with Mr.. DAVIS in
political matters; but certainly If 1t Is
any merit in a public man to maintain a
digniaed and CONSTANT attitude, Mr..
DAVIS has chosen more creditable part
than that adopted by his colleagues. There
Is reason to believe that Mr.. DAVIS will
be supported in this attitude by con.
siderable portion of his party in this Con.
greSs Dlstrict-not enough though, posi-.
bly,, to save him from slaughter in the con.
yention should he come before It for noml.
nation. We take 1t for granted the man.
ayers Of the Democratic Congress Con.
yention in this district will not tolerate
anybody but a GREELEY Democrat, and
that unless Mr.. DAVIS will bow the knee
to BAAL he will have to stand back.
Whether he can successfully appeal from
PnGLp drunk to PHILp sober-from a
convention afflicted with the "GREELEY
madness" to people who may not be
so-remains 10 be seen.

THE English are troubled about the ex-
tension of new lines oil communication to
the East which they fear will afford IA.
cilities for the visits Of pestilence. 1t ap.
pears strange to think of the cholera
travelling by railway; but medical men
say that this dreaded plague often comes
by thatmeans, and that everything which
quickens traffic between East and West
facilitates the progress Of disease. The
continental infection which frightened
Great Britain last year entered Russia in
1860 by the new route through Trans.
caucasia. This route leads from the
west Of the Caspian Sea to the extreme
southern point of the Black Sea at Poti.
The shores Of the Black Sea are already
connected with the railway system of
Western Europe, and line Of railway Is
projected between Poti, Tiflis, Elizabeth.
pol, and Baku, connecting the Caspian
with the Black Sea. The theory has
been propoun9ed by iminent medical
authorities in England that on the com.
pletion Of this line Of traffic Contagious
current in Persia will become common
In Europe, Fortunately famine Is moi
contagious, and Persia's most recent
attiiction is not likely to DO introduced in
Great Britain through any development
OF new railway routes.

ITBnow believed that the chief pro.
prietor Of the Register, having been re-
lieyed from the onerous duties Of Chair.
man Of the State Committee and employee
Of the Public Printer, and having some
elegant leisure on his hands, would not
feel at liberty to decline should he be nom.
mated by the convention OF his party in
this district for Congress. 1t is true he
has a great aversion to any sort Of public
preterment, but tits believed he would be
willing to make the sacrifice involved in
this ifappealed to as matter OF patriotic
duty. 1t is even thought that should
this fail, and should GREELEY be unable
to find anybody here willing to incur the
exacting labors OF the postofllce, the dis
tinguished publicist aforesaid might con.
sent to sacrifice his valuable time for the
next four years among the mail bags, and
that his appearance In the Baltimore Con.
vention as Secretary Is TO DO taken as a
sample Of his plant and accommodating
spirit In that directions sort of anchor

NesrS. Boyd, C0I&groue, Hayden ana
others:
GENTLEMEN: Your favor OF the Sd
inst, notifying me oil my nomination by
Convention oil the teachers of West
Virginia, to the office OF State Superin.
tendent of Free Schools Is received, and
contents carefully considered.
If there were no other reasons why |
should decline the nomination rendered
by you, there is one which, SO far as l can
see at present. could not possibly be over.
come, and that is the necessity Of my be.
ing much at home. growing chiefly out Of
recent domestic afIliction.
No one could feel lnsensible to the hon.
or conferred by q nomination coming from
such a source as that Of the highly intel.
ligent and right minded body of men
whom you represent Not indeed, that
could suppose that such partially related
exclusively to any professional merit oil
my own; but simply that / would repre-.
sent the important principles announced
IN the resolution quoted in your letter
as adopted by unanimous vote of the
recent State Teachers Association, held
OF Fairmont.
l am free to say that heartily endorse
that principle. You propose to fill the
office of State Superintendent with a
practical, experienced and otherwise
suitably qualified teacher. This is wise,
for many reasons that cannot now be
offered.
You are kind enough to say that YOU
would not desire your candidate to run as
a partisan. This is right. You would
not ask him to renounce old affiliations or
to embrace new ones. In other words,
you would not expect him to renounce
bis proper manhood; so that il elected he
could enter upon the duties of his office
untrammelled, and discharge the same
without fear, favor or affection. In a
word, you would remove the subject
from the arena Of party politics, and
leave 1t TO the free and unbiased choice Of
to this =
If the agitators of this subject should
produce no other result at present, it will,
at least, admonish politicians of all par.
ties to be more true to the public welfare,
and to deal more justly with class Of
men whom they have hitherto been too
much inclined to ignore, II not to trample
under foot. They should understand what
they have been rather slow to apprehend,
that the teachers of West Virginia arc
