sumner en- the President.


The p-iacipal topic of political circles during
ire past week. is ibe great speech of Sumner

chuse,,s Senator never makes a Sc, speech with
out carciu, and aborel research, it was sup
posed ,ls, Ills would be lie great mas,eT-riece

was not by any means disappointed The floor
and galleries OF the Senate Chamber were lite
rally packed with eager aPprceia,ivo listeners

These points were moro or less elaborated
with an The logic aud eloquence for which the
Senator is so highly distinguished above bis
compcsrs. Perhaps no speech ever uttered in
the senate had q more marked effect on the
public mind. especially when it is considered
tina, it was delivered on the eve Of the great
Radical Convention at Philadelphia How
ever. il will not have much effect there. The
nominee Of that body is already agreed upon.
The party fla. las gone forth That Couvan-
ton means Grant, and nothing more, nor less.
Senators Logan and Carpenter have replied
TO Sumner Their defence is what might hags
Iesn expected
Their speeches nrc very poor compared with
tie brilliant Grafton Of the finished scholar and
orator. For whatever may be said Of Sumner
as a politician, his ability and power are IN
questioned. The telling effect Of lis speech on
Grant may be estimated by the terrible attacks
Of the Organs all over the country. They
are enphatically down or him.
One noticeable fact introduced by Sen Sum
ner is his interview with Secretary Stanton,

Tho State Nominations.

The people Of Jefferson feel that this ccciion
Of the State was iuconsiderately, to speak mild
~, ignored by the late Parkersburs Convention
in its distribution of nominees, aud we presume
that every fsir-minded man in the State will
conceds as much. And though we are griev-
ously disappointed in not receiving our deserts
especially in view Of the fac. that wo pre-
sented single name-that OF a gentleman adj
mir4bly fitted in every particular to perform
the responsible functions Of the high position,
70 reflect honor upon the State as che Of its
Supreme Judges yet, We see no objection to
urge against the gentlemen placed in nomina-
ton, and whose names appear at the head of
our columns. These gentlemen are distin-
guished-eminout in their professions, trusted
10y their personal friends, and their exalted
characters at home commend them to us We
accept them, and we believe the people of JEFF
rerson will accord them hearty support
The Spirit says Charleston and our sec
ton must unite so say we-but, to aid in
electiug the ticket put forth, and we believe
the people Of Jefferson will utterly ropudiatO
the suggestion Of the Spirit that au indepen-
dent candidate for Governor should be placed
in the field, and for the benefit of the Spirit
We repeat its own injunction in reference to
State politics.

The Philadelphia Convention.

All the political interest Of the country is
now centered in the republican contention at
Philadelphia, says Che Baltimore san, which
met Wednesday, for the denomination Of Cen
eral Grant as the radical candidate for Pres-
dent. There seems to be a strong current in
favor Of Senator Henry Wilson, of Massachu-
sets, instead Of Mr. Colfax, thus balancing the
ticket with an Eastern man instead Of having
both candidates from the West The conven-
ton was called tn order amidst o profuson Of
dollhouse oxotics and other refining influences.
Morton NcAlichael. Of Philadelphia, was chos-
en- temporary president, and the permanent or

Distressing Accident.

We copy the following account Of the death
Of the eldest child of Capt. Lewis Hartman,
FROM the Siaunton Spectator Of the 2sih.-
Capt. Hartman married daughter Of the late
Charles W. Price, Of Winchester:
" We are called upon to record painful and
fatal accident, which occurred last Friday
evening, about five miles from Stanton. The
eldest child of Capt. Lewis Hartman was run
over by wagon loaded with one hundred
bushels Of coru, and killed almost INSTANTLY
1t seems that the little boy, who was about five
years old, was standing in the road as the
wagon passed, and the wagner, suppo,ing that
the little boy had gotten out Of the way, drove
on, and the chld's foot was caught under the
front wheel aud was dragged under-the hind
wheel passing over lis breast, crushing him to
death"
