The Conversational Election.

The following is the full text OF Sen
ate bill No. 4, which has wonderfully
stirred the ire OF the Radical press
throughout the State, and has at least
this argument in favor of its passage ::
A Bill to extend the time for ascer-
tanning and certifying the result OF
the election held on the twenty-fourth
dav OF October, 1872, for Representa-
tives in the Congress OF the United
States.
WHEREAS, 1t has been represented TO
the Legislature that in some OF the
counties of this State the Supervisors
have failed or refused to ascertain the
result of the election held on the twenty.
fourth day of October. 1872, for Rep
resentatives in the Congress of the Uni
ted States, and to certify the same as
required by law; therefore,
BE Il enacted Jy the Legislature of West
Ftrginia
That in any county Of this State in
which the result of the election for
Representatives in the Congress of
the United States, held on the twenty
fourth day OF October, 1872, has not
been ascertaiued and determined bv the
supervisors thereof, according to the
Code OF West Virginia, it shall be the
duty of the supervisors Of such coun-
ty, TO meet at The court house thereof
on or before the first day of Deem.
Der, 1872. and carefully and imparti-
ally ascertain the result of said cleo
ton, and prepare and transmit to the
Governor of the State certificates there
OF, in all respects according to the pro-
visions of sad third chapter Of the Code;
and the Governor shall thereupon as
certain who were elected for Represent
atives in the Congress of the United
States at said election, and make proc
lamation thereof in the same manner
and with like effect az il the result OF
said election had been ascertained and
certified by the supervisors OF the sew
eral counties within the time heretofore
pres cribed by law.
=. ANY Supervisor who shall, with
out sufficient cause, fail or refuse to
perform any OF the duties required by
the preceding section, shall, in addition
to any penalties which he may have
already incurred, be deemed guilty OF
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction,
shall he fined not less than fifty nor
more than two hundred dollars.
3. This act shall be in force from and
after its passage.

squabbleis between the retiring and the
administration. The former
aimed to collect and pocket the taxes
before quitting the field. The latter
dreaded the emptytreasury which would
follow, and hence Aenjoined Parker,

This brings matters to dead lock, not
to help or save the taxpayers, but merely
to keep back payments until. Moses,

The Human Kitchen and Its
Dumb Walters.

The body is supplied with aliment by
vessels which connect the stomach and its
auxiliaries with the venous system, and, so
to speak, perform the office of dunno maiters
in a restaurant. In other words these meta
OF communication between the animal
kitchen and It's dependents supply to each
member and organ, near or remote, the
quantity and kind OF sustenance required
to keep 1t going. When the stomach Is
derelict in its duty, or the dumb waltels
inert or INSTRUCTED, II is the peculiar pro-
vince OF Hostetfer's Celebrated stomach
Bitters to strengthen and regulate them.
Hence its marvellous cures OF chronic indi-
gestion, and the emaciatiOn, debility and
languor which are generally its concomi-
tanIS. 1t is, moreover, powerful altera-
tive and corrective, and the rapidity with
which it checks Irregularities or the liver

nervous system, is marvel, not only to the
general public, but to professional men.

THE VALLEY RAILWAY
I,s connections and Importanc,

Its Connections and Importance.
The proposed line of the Valley rail-
way will strike that OF the Wheeling
and Erie between Bowerstowa, in Har-
rison county, and Zoar. in Tuscarawas
county, about fifty miles from the Ohio
river. Mr.. Farmer, on behalf Of the
Valley road, proposes to pay one-half
of the construction Of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie road from where the Valley
road strikes it to the river, and take
one-halt the 100000 stock OF the rail-
road bridge. The road is to be operated
by the two companies separately and
independently. This seems to us a val.
liable arrangement for the road and
bridge. 1t equally divides the cost Of
the most difficult part Of the Wheeling
and Erie road and permanently secures
two roads for the bridge. This is the
brightest railroad project within our
notice. The termini OF the two joint
roads are at three important CONNER
cial points on the lake, Cleveland, San
dusky and Toledo, and at the Ohio
river. The network Of intersections
through the State of Ohio, and the
connections with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and the Wheeling and
Kentucky railroad at Wheeling, will
make a combination favoring line OF
transportation demanded by the interest
OF trade and commerce, extending from
the Atlantic and Middle States to the
great depots on the northern lakes
This route traverses portion Of Jeffer-
son county from Short Creek towards
Hopedale, and those Of our ci liens who
are living in the vicinity Of the road
take a lively interest thereiu.-'S@ube"-

A Missouri contempor thinks
that two sets Of judges. one to
receive the ballots and judge OF
the qualifications of the voters, the
other to count the ballots every hour
during the day and note the number
for the several candidates at each
osunt, would do much to securing fair
election and an honest count of the
ballots deposited in the boxes.
The Age says: this is virtually
the system under which elections
are conducted in Philadelphia
We have Window Inspectors, who
take the votes, and Return Inspectors
who count them and make hourly
proclamation as to the result. Ard
vet the most open, impudent frauds are
committed by the ring" in this
locality. They change returns, drop
votes, add votes, and in this matter set
the public verdict at defiance: At the
present time the returns, as given by
the Board of Return judges, diffcr
nearly five thousand votes from those
deposited in the Protbonotary's Office
And yet no redress can be obtained.
The "Ring" close all the avenues OF
justice, and take possession of offices to
which they were never elected, and
hold them. This is the result OF hav-
ing two sets Of officers to inspect the
lection in cur city. When scoundrels
are put in position, the more there are
of them the worse for honest men.

STRANGE CAsE.-We learn from southern
paper, that there was colored man living
near Paola, Mississippi, who treated religion
with more levity than solemnity, and who
went fishing on Sunday. Being demonstrated
with, some weeks ago, he replied irreverently
that he would go the next Sunday morning,
"before God gets up, and catch q nice string
of fish," Accordingly, on the following Sun.
day morning he repaired to the banks Of the
Tallahatche river very early and threw his
baited hook and line into the river. Scarce
" had he done so when there was violent
Juggling at his hook, and counter pull from
the shore brought to the surface Of the water
huge lally.cooler, which found voice to say:
"You shall remain here fishing all the daysof
your life, till God gets up" and then disap-
peared. Since that time all the efforts to
drag the unfortunate fisherman from the bank
of the river have proved unavailing. 1t is
evident that be labors under strange ha!lu.
cination, but he insists it is the jud gment of
the Almighty, and that he must continue ang-
ling in that spot until he receives absolution
from his offended Maker.

A DARING AcT-One of the most daring
acts, says the Columbia Union, we have heard
of for many day was performed by MIR. De-
Saussure Bacot, who is stopping with his
friend Major Morgan, at the residence Of
Judge Melton. The circumstances are as fol-
lows: The chimney of Judge Meltons dwell
ing house caught fire and was burning out
when the sparks falling thick upon the dry
roof ignited the shingles. Just at this time
the Judge happened to 60 out, and discover
ing the perilious condition of his house, was
looking round for ladder to 60 up and ex-
tinguish the flames, when Mr.. Bacot, who in
years gone by, was an officer in the Navy,
saw the situation, and going to the lightning
rod, went up like flash, hand over hand.
The house is three stories, and as he neared
the roof the slight fastening by which the rod
was held began to give way. A fall from that
height seemed inevitable; but as quick as
he caught hold Of the roof, and the
balustrade throwing himself on the roof, and
soon extinguished the fire, lacerating his
hands somewhatin doing so. This daring act
unquestionably saved the home Of Judge Mel
ton from destruction.

ELEGANCE DOES Nor MAKE HoME.-l
never saw garment too fine for man or
maid there was never chair too good for
cobbler, or cooper, or king to sit in; never
house too fine to shelter the human head.
These elements about us, the gorgeous sky,
the imperial sun, are not too good for the hu-
man race. Elegance fits man. But do we
not value these tools of housekeeping little
more than they are worth, and sometimes
mortgage home for the mahogany we would
bring into it? I had rather eat my dinner of
the head of barrel, or dress after the fashion
of St. John the Baptist in the wilderness, or
sit on block all my life, than consume my
self before got to home, and take so much
pains with the outside that the inside was as
hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is great
thing, but beauty of garment, house and fur.
niture, is very tawdry ornament compared
with domestic love. All the elegance in the
world will not make ahome, and would give
more for spoonful Of real, hearty love, than
for whole shiploads of furniture, and all the
gorgeousness that all the upholsters of the
world could gather together.-4Aeodore Par
