The remarks OF Colonel Ben. WILSON
and Major FIrzHUeH, made in Conyen-
ton, on the subject OF the eligibility Of
the negro to Office, and printed in this
issue OF the REGISTER, will be read with
interest We regret we have not
more complete report Of the speech Of
the former gentleman. tits unnecessary
for us to say that, while we endorse the
action OF the Convention upon this sub
ject, we disagree with the reasoning Of
Major FIrzRuGH by which he was
brought to his conclusion. Admitting
that the abolition OF slavery was a legit
innate sequence Of the success of the
Federal arms. we do not agree that the
enfranchisement OF the negro neces-
sarily followed. We do not believe
that the immediate enfranchisement OF
the negro was more necessary than is
eniranchisement Of every foreigner the
moment he sets foot upon American
soil. 1t appears to US that Maj. F.
fails to justify the adoption of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments,
although he eloquently seeks to DO 30.
We place our justification of the action
of the Convention solely upon the
ground that it could not undo that which
has already been done, try as hard as it
might. -.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
-:O:-
Atmospheric Poison.

The spring sun calls up something be.
sides the flowers and grasses. 1t evolves
from the damp earth turbid rivers, stag
nant pools and black morasses, the gaseous
provocatives of disease. From the offal and
garbage OF unclean c.. les, too, 1t exhales an
effluvia destructive of health and vigor.
Periodic fevers of various types are now
raging with unusual virulence in various
parts Of the country, and there are com
plants from all quarters of singularly un-
healthy spring. What Is to be done In this
emergency? The answer is simple and 10
the point. Strengthen the body. Weak
ness predisposes the system to disease.
Commence at once q course OF the most
genial OF tonics, Hostetter's Stomach BIT
tiers. Be assured that the germs OF epidem-
ic and endemic levers will never inject the
physique that has been fortified and regu-
lated with this glorious vegetable reStora>

and he sudden thermometrical changes

even to strong constitutions There Is but one
way of combating these delet, riouS agen-
cieS, and that is by invlgorating the body
and Importing a healthy activity to.all It's
functions. The only specific required for
this purpose is HoStetter's BilteIs. or all
purest and the best. Its medicinal ingre-
dents include all the juices and extracts OF
the most approved tonic, anti-bilious and
antiseptic products OF the Botanic King

used in preparing the tinctureS and extracts
of the Irregular pharmacOppla.

hand, but, nothing daupted by the fact
that every gentleman in the House
knew the facts to be directly contrary
to his assertions, he continued to talk.
For instance, he declared that no in
veetigation had yet been had concerning
the accounts of school officers in Upshur
county, while the report which he held
in his hand showed that such an in
ves.igation was being made; that the
settlements had not been completed but
that it already showed deficit of
$5,773.56 in that county alone.
But Farnsworth did not know when
he was killed, and continued his post
mortem assaults upon mental arithmetic
and English grammar until he was
compelled to stop by sheer exhaustion.
He seemed 70 forget that all the defci-
encies of school money Of which he com
planned occurred under Radical admin
istration and were the populations of
loyal thieves. Democratic county
superintendents and school officers did
not come into power until the first oflast
January and the Superintendent re-
port relates exclusively to time during
which the political friends of the gen.
tleman from Upshur run the machine
and illustrated their devotion to the
cause of Free Schools by pocketing for
private purposes large portion of the
school money that came into their
hands.
am in hope that the Convention
will make more rapid progress hereafter
than it has done heretofore. Nearly
all the matter that was likely to create
prolonged discussion has been already
disposed of, and the work should now
be pushed along with considerable
rapidity. Three reports, namely, Bill
of Rights and Elections; legislative
Department, and Executive Depart
ment, have now been disposed of and
referred to the Revisory Committee.
regret to say that it has been re
ported this afternoon that Colonel B.
II. Jones, OF Greenbrier, one OF the
assistant secretaries Of the Convention,
is diving, and probable that before this
letter reaches you he will have passed
away. Governor Pre- has eprnt

side. He is said to have been a very
gallant soldier and is a consistent
christian and good man. Much sad
ness is manifested by his many friends.

THE National Democratic Convention
Of 1864 met at Chicago the 29th OF
August, and nobody thought it delayed
too long. The Democratic Convention
of 1868 met at New York the 4th Of
July, and had it's session been deferred
a month later, its work would have
been better done. As it was, the date
OF its assemblage was not questioned.
This year there is good reason for ad-
herring to the precedents of 1864 and
1868, and taking to ourselves as much
time as we can, and our National Com.
mitlee is wise in waiting for the wagon.

WARNED by late occurrences in New
Hampshire, the Chairman of the DEM
ocratic State Central Committee Of Con-
necticut has notified former citizens Of
that State now holding positions under
the government at Washington, that
many of them are disqualified to vote
in the land OF steady habits, and must
take the consequences if they attempt
to do so illegally. Those clerks and
employees in the several departments
who contemplate going home to vote"
at the approaching election, will there.
fore do well to heed his warning. Since
the last Connecticut election, the Dis.
trlct of Columbia has been granted
a Territorial government, whereby
persons residing there have become
qualified to vote for members Of the
legislative body and for a Delegate
in Congress. Mr.. BROWN, the Chair
man OF the committee aforesaid, informs
these new made residents Of the District
that the above change OF status will
prevent them from voting in Connec-
ticut. Measures have been taken to
prevent their being registered, and
should they persist in attempting to
vote they will be promptly prosecuted
under the laws Of the State. In con.
nection with this subject, We understand
notice has been served upon every Con.
necticut official in Washington that be
must 90 home and vote; and, as these
same department clerks were compelled,
at the last Washington election, to vote
for the Republican candidates in that
city, they are in strait betwixt the
fears OF losing their places if they do
not obty.andof prosecution for perjury
if they vote in Connecticut after swear
ing to . residence in Washington. 1t
is q bad case for them.

l sincerely hope that the Convention
may yet reconsider its action upon this
subject and fix the salary Of the State
Superintendent at a decent living rate
The report was finally passed BY the
Convention and referred to the revisory
committee.
During the debate upon the salary Of
the State Superintendent OF Free
Schools, Mr.. Farnsworth made an
egregious donkey Of himself (if such an
expression is allowable where the work
was done long ago. by commenting
upon and attacking the recently issued
report of the State Superintendent OF
Free Schools. He seemed to be unable
to distinguish between the Office, the
salary Of which it was proposed to fix
by Constitutional provision. and the
officer who at present holds the position.
He therefore thought that a fitting
occasion to make the most extravagant
and unfounded statements concerning
the matters set forth in the recent re-
port and announced his purpose of hav-
ing an investigation into the accounts OF
the State Superintendent. He was
twice called to order and reminded that
his remarks were not pertinent to the
question before the house, but
be was bound to have his
say and blathered away about
two hours to the intense disgust
of every member Of the Convention
