That Circular.

On the day before election circular
was issued and distributed through the
city, making many false charges
against Camden and his friends, and
striving to establish the position that
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company is anxious for the
election of Jacob, and that q
vote for Camden was a vote
against that company. 1t was also
urged that Camden was a friend OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
uapy, and that the interests Of these
two companies were arrayed against
each other.
It is well known that al our interests
lead us to support and uphold the Chesa'
peake and Ohio Railroad Company In
the welfare of which the future OF our
city and State are 80 much concerned,
but we wish to protest here against the
name and power of great moneyed
corporation being used to influence the
politics of our State. Ii is a dangerous
thing, and no true friend Of the Cbesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company
would have written such circular as
the one referred to above, calling on the
citizens along the line Of the road to vote
for Jacob, because the railroad com.
pany said so. What an idea Shall
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad or the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad tell you how
to voter God forbid. Let those compa'
MES devote themselves to their legltl-
mate business of developing the re-
sources of the State, but it they must

quiet manner, and not in threatening
circulars, letting every man dependent
in any way on the railroad know that

patronage and favor. We are poor,
depending on our daily labor for our
daily bread, but our duty to our State
AID to our readers requires us to protest
against this interference by the great
corporations with State politics. If we
are compelled TO choose sides between
the people and the companies our choice
will be soon made.

The old lions youngest whelp has
done her duty well alter all. Jacob, il
is true, has been elected-but he is
faithful to Greeley, and that's some con
ISOLATION. The entire Conservative ticket,
outside OF the Governor, has been
carried by at least ten t thousand ma
jority, while the Constitution has been
adopted with the negro-disqualifying
clause left out-and that lie just what
we wanted. The Congressman will
have to be voted for again, as there was
no authority for their election at this
time. So "all is well that ends well,

HOMEsTEAD EXEMPTION.

They have a homestead exemption
law in Virginia which, by its terms,
was made applicable to debts already
existing at the time Of its passage. The
Supreme Court of Appeals has recently
decided that the act is in violation Of
the Constitution of the United States by
reason of its retroactive feature, and that
it is prohibited by that clause OF the Con-
siitution which forbids State Legisla-
ture from passing an Art "i"'F~i.i"s the
obligation OF contracts" In West Vir-
ginia the passage of such an exemption
law is forbidden by the new Constitu-.
ton of the State as we'll as by that OF
the United States. 1t is expressly pro-
vided in that much abused and misrep-
r, sented section of the Constitution re-
Gently adopted, that the homestead ex-
emption therein provided shall in
nowise affect debts or liabilities existing
at the time of the adoption Of this Con-
stitution."

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.

The late campaign in this State was
characterized by many acts OF double
dealing and deception on the part OF
the Radical enemies of the new Con.
stitution, a specimen Of which is fur.
nished by their "trick" concerning the
state Capital. They distributed extern
sively throughout the State, in circular
form and 10 their newspapers. a docu-
ment entitled "The new Constitution
considered; by several Democrats who
voted for the Constitutional Conyen.
tion." The claim that any Democrat
had anything to do with the preparation
Of the document is probably . lie, in the
first place, for We can scarcely think go
meauly Of any Democrat who had sense
enough to vote for the Constitutional
Convention a. to attribute to him
the authorship Of such nonsense
a. the circular contains. The copies
of this document that were generally
distributed, contained no allusion what
ever to the seat of government, but IN
the copies circulated in the Ksnawha
valley an elaborate argument is intro
duced to show that should the Constr
tuition be ratified there would be prob
ability of the removal Of the Capital
from Charleston! The attempt was
thus made to excite local and sectional
prejudices; to secretly array one portion
of the STATE against another; and in a
covert and claudes,ine manner make
use Of arguments in one locality that
they dared not openly use elsewhere.
1t was doubtless through the inau-
ence of some means like this that Ka-
nswha county has given so large a ma
,ority for JACOB, and the official returns
will probably show that but for the
msjorities given for JACOB in the Ka-
nawha valley und"r pressure of the
Capital question, Mr.. CAMDEN would
have been elected Governor. No more
short-sighted policy could have been
pursued by any reasonable people.

On Tuesday afternoon, a difficulty
occurred in the Court room, between
Major Cyrus N ewiin and James F. Pat
tou, both members Of the bar, the latter,
assistant OF the States Attorney. A
case Of violation Of the liquor laws was
under prosecution, Major Newlin being
counsel for the defense. In the. course
of his pleading be took occasion to re-
mark that a discrimination was made
against small offenders. which provoked
Pstton's ire to such an extent that he
made q violent assault on Newlin,
striking him with heavy glass inkstand
and cutting him deeply on the left eye
brow and nose, bespattering his
face and dress with ink and blood,
and stained the dress Of several by
ISLANDERS. Newlin, IN defense, drew a
Derriuger and attempted to fire, but
fortunately the cap merely exploded, as
the printing had been lost, and its sup
ply neglected. The parties were then
separated and the excitement subsidized.
Hs Honor, Judge McWhor,er,
promptly rebuked the disorder, and
both parties apologized to the Court.
The grand jury, then in session, took
cognizance OF the matter, and they
have, we suppose, provided for process
OF proper punishment.
A young man, named Lowry, a
member OF the Summers county bar,
was present at the time, and was ab'
served to offer pistol to Patton. He
was promptly presented to the grand
jury, BY whom his case will be proper
ly disposed OF.
Such scenes of violence argue a con-
siderable amount Of bad blood, the sad
results, probably, Of political strife. 1t
is now, at least, high time Tor the author.

bad passions, and to aid in restoring

From the Clarksburg SUM-
Democrats beware.

The article published below shows
what insidious attempts are being now
made to betray The Democrats and
hand the State over to Grant. This
piece OF political per6dy was picked up
in one of the Court House offices occu-
pied by proscriptive bitter-euder Rad
ical, and fana,ical Jacob and Davis
supporterin the late election. 1t now
being industriously used to pledge and
commit the unwary, by Grant Republi-
cans and their John J. Davis allies ply
ing their joint vocation. These are the
uuderhauded resorts Of Radicals and
apostate, malcoutent boilers to seduce
and cozeu Democrats to aid the
scheme TO carry the State for Grant.
The design is clear and apparent. The
conception is worthy Of the cunning OF
the Radicals and the apostles Of Know
nottingham. The secret circular mode
of warfare crops out all over. 1t smells
rankly from the source whence it ems'
mates. 1t is sedulously concealed from
Democrats who would be likely to ex-
pose their design. 1t is the despicable
artitice of Know-Nothingism to entrap
uususpecting Democrats to pledge and
sign away their liberties and franchises.
Democrats, make no secret pledges
sign no papers-shun it as you would
a leper. Touch not, handle not the un.
clean thing.
The precions document is as follows:
DEMOCRATIC PROTEST.
The undersigned having an abiding
faith in the principles Of Democracy, as
expounded bv Jefferson, Madison, and
their compeers, and maintained and
successfully carried out by Monroe.
Jackson, aud other eminent statesmen
and patriots, from the fret organizs
ton Of the Democratic party in l79S,
down to the year 1860; and believing
that a Republican form Of Government
like our own, can permanently exist, only
upon the basis OF these principles, do
most solemnly and earnestly protest
against the reasonable designs of the
gang of office seekers aud policy
mongers, who recently assembled at
Baltimore. claiming to be Democrats,
10 their attempt to transfer as, like so
many voting cattle, to the support of
the very Head Centre, body and soul Of
Federal Rsdicalism.
And we 90 hereby pledge ourselves
that in no event will we vote for that
ever visilant and most inveterate enemy
of our time honored and greatly cher
ished priuciples-tbe notorious Horace
Greeley.
And we do hereby pledge ourselves
to vote q straight Democratic, ticket at
the coming election, if permitted to
avail ourselves OF tba. much coveted
opportunity.

NAsr's cartoons in Hsrpers Weekly
have frequently given just cause o.
offense to the large class Of citizens
libelled thereby, and recent one which
might have been dictated by Senator
WILSON in the palmy days Of Know
Nothingism, ought to, aud doubtless
will, react upon the Radical party with
crushing force. 1t represents the
United States government as saying to
CARL ScuURz "a a representative OF the
German population, "It you do not like
the country, there is no law which COM
pels you to stay" plainly intimating,
Ii you won't vote for GRANT, we don't
want you here. Without doubt, the
spirit of prescription on account Of
foreign birth or religious opinion still
lives in the hearts of the leading Rsdi-
Gals and would animate another politi-
cal crusade If favoring circumstances
should arise.
