from clergyman who was travelling, and
who stopped at hotel much frequented by
what are termed 'drummers.' The host.
not being used to have clergymen at his
table, looked at him with surprise the
clerks used all their artillery Of wit upon
him, without eliciiing remark in self.de-
fence The worthy clergyman ate his din
ner quietly, apparently without observing
the gibes and sneers of his neighbors. One
OF them at last, in despair at his foibcar-
ance, said to him:

siralil,y assassination, is difference
not very clearly defined in the savage
mind. Tho Mudoc murderers Of the
Peace Commissioners lad u sort Of
justification for their treacAcry in a
similar act Of trCachery visited on their
fathers by United States officers
many years ago. Nobody was hanged
then, and it is doubtful, il, under such
circumstances, the moral lesson Of Fri.
days barbarism was appreciated by the
five hundred poor, miserable saynges
who witnessed it, or whether it will be
appreciated by the enlightened people
in Europe and America who read about
it. Then again, the United States
has been in the habit of treating with
the Aborigincs within its jurisdiction
as independent nations and not as citi'
gems. So long as this farce is kept up
we ought in consistency to deal with
them as all civilized nations deal with
enemies captured in war; and they do
not hang enemies SO captured. We
have frequently expressed some skcp-
ticism as 10 tue remedial virtues Of tho
gallows when applied, in ordinary
course, under civil law, to the civilized
citizen; mud confess that We can see
nothing now 10 admire in the course

that urc actually necessary to tho vel
faro and good government Of the
State.
We have uubounlci confidence in
the members Of this body. We know
that during their last session, they
passed more and better laws than were
ever passed in the same length Of time
by any Legislature in this or the old
State. Tho laws now in force amply
bear US out in this assertion. And we
firmly believe that in limo to come the

Information for tho People.

We take from tho Moorcfell Ad.
re,tiser Of last week the following
sensible article, aud commend it Cs.
pccially to the members of the Lcgisla'
turc:
"a bill has been presented to the
Legislature, entitled ian Act for the
General Information Of the People"
1t passed the Senate at both Of tho last
two sessions, but did not secure the at
tcntion OF tho House. This bill! has
for its object tho publication in the
newspapers Ofall Shcriff7s sales. de.
liuqucnt land sales, notices ofCleaions,
and much other public information,
which under present laws, are written
out and posted against Court House
doors, where only one in thousand
ever SEQ them. We contend, aud we
believe that every progressive man III
the State will stand by us, that such
notices orc of public interest, and
should be published 10 tue newspaper
having q general circulation IN The
county wherein such sales are to DC
made; and by that means give general
information. 1t Is but iaiF 70 me par

postponement of the Railroad
Election.

By reference to an order Of the
County Court, which will be present
cd to our readers next week, it will be
seen that tho vote which was to have
been taksl on the l4ih inst, on the
question of subscribing Sl25,000 to
the capital stock of tie Weston aud
CIarksburg Railroad, has boon post
pOncd.
There were two very sufficient rCn-
sons for this action: First, because,
owing to the recent panic in money
matters, tho bonds Of tho county could
not have been negotiated, unless ut !
great loss TO the people. And, sec
oud, because there i some doubt
whether un election for tue purpose
could be held before the day fixed by
law for the general election.
Impelled by the force of the idcn'
presented above, the Court decided 10
postpone tho election; aud We think
that they acted with wisdom III the
premises. Itistruc that a railroad is
a present necessity and on this qucs'
tiou there is ne difference Of opinion
but il is we'll that every doubt MS to
tho legality Of the subscription be
cleared away, and that all We do in the
matter may leave no bubble whereby
the will of the people may be defeated
Tho order postponiDg the vote does
net fx any day in the future for an
election on lie question: but it is
supposed by legal gentlemen who
have looked into tue matter TINT an
election cannot DO held DO held before
the next general election day, unless
special election is authorized by m
act Of the Legislature.
