Mnnted-A President.

The greatest want OF tho day Is President fol
the ROpublic. The man who is content to smoke
cigar and spend his time away from the capital
depending on under officers Wht Ablli, do
not commend them. and whose disposition 10 su =
taiu party at the expense OF the government ''
maniTestsd in all their acts, has utterly led to
meet the necessities OF the c. Sc
General Grant could have settled the whole ( E
feulty in Lou siana. Il alles sed that he caused
it by prompting drunken United states Judge
to give decision that ss Jnlshed even the most
Radical of his party
After an examination of the returns of the ell, =
ton in Louisiana. Judge Durell decided that
McEnery was not elected, although his msjoriiy
Was somewhere about 10000
This decision was denOunc 81 by the Commit se
of the U. s. Senate, composed OF Radical Poii--
clans, who would have had no ,-ouble in dec' :
ing the election of McEnery lille III Il there had
been any possible way in which they could have
done without mourning the Indignation of every
honsst mAn who had examined the question. But
the case was abandoned by the Senate Comm sc
who chose not to interfere in On elt ation which
should have been properly decided in the ste
where it took place.
Presiden. Grant, with q blindness 'Aat SC ems
the more Willful and wicked the more action
is examined, undertakes to sustain the dicsion Of
his drunken judge, notwithstanding the psople OF
LOUISIANA have shown their utter deestat .on OF It
and of the gOvsi Amsnt set up under it. The p D
ple without distinction OF party, sustain the deci-
sion OF the majority under which the McEHery
faction Gle inn the right TO govern the State. Even
the negroes have sense enough to see this, and die
claim having ny share in the fight betw6 IN tho
two parties. Ii Pre- -ident Grs1t had the sense
common to most great men, he would see at once
that 1t was rs duty to withdraw the Unit
States troops and let the people decide their oW Il
difficulty. He knows that in such case the Kel-
logg government would dissolve Ike mist. 1t is
simply held together for plunder, and we shorld
not be much surprised if the people refused to e.
low even the U. s. soldiers to dep. We them of
their right to choose governor iu the old and
long established way. Prsferring, if they cannot
do this, to have a military despotism rather than
submit to the carpet-bag plunderers under kel-
logg.

ANOTHER STAGE has been reached In the po-
liticaI difficulty i'm Louisiana. Kellogg aud his
officers have been indicted by the grand jury in
New Orleans for usurping the Government of the
state, aud Judge Durcll has ordered them to be
summoned TO answer the charge Now this ac-
tion Of the grand Jury should afford a fair oppor-
tHnlty for full aud thorough inquiry into the
whole trouble. Every facility should be afforded
to each side, and every means taken to secure
just AID satisfactory decision. Judge Durell is
not perhaps the best man before whom such
cause might be argued, seeing that he Is the one
who by his Improper Interference In the matter of
the election boards materially helped to compli
cate matters, and to precipiate the conflict that
has since been productive OF such saAgulnary re-
suits. But then lac proceeded under The inlprcs-
sion that he was carrying out the wishes Of the
administration. If he were to receive an intima
lion that nothing but the discovery of the real
merits of the is desired by the authorities at
Washington, his conduct in the present instance
might bc much more satisfactory. Or might not
some other Judge be appointed TO try the cause,
who should come to Its consideration with mind
wholly unbiassed?- Philadelphia Telegraph

The East River br-dge, that is to be, between

The members of the late Arkansas Legislature
acquired such a habit of thievery that they got
into the way Of stealing the bills which were in
progress through their own body Ii was owing
TO this propensity of the Legislature that the
Hon. Mr.. Furbush, cOiored member from Phil
lips county, was recently moved to curse the
whole Assembly, individually and collectively,
from his seat in the House. Mr.. Furbush was
engaged in promoting the formation of new
county, of which he expected to be made Sheriff.
He got bill fAvorAhiy reported creating the new
county under the name of Logan. The bin was
stolen from the Clicks desk. Then he INTRODUCED
another bill creating the county OF Coolidge, md
pending the consideration Of this bill also was
slOlen. But Mr. Fuibush was not discouraged,
aud he successively introduced three other bills
to create the new county under three different
names Finally he succeeded 10 procuring the
passage of one which established the desired
county under the name Of Lee. IL was while he
was Engaged n these aTduOus eEOrte 10 reconstruct
the map Of Arkansas that Hon. Mr.. Furbush
pulled of his coat and told his fellow Legislators
what he thought of them In words which were
plain, besides being exceedingly prOfane. This
appears TO have had the desired effect, for the bill
passed and Mr.. FurbusA is now Sheriff of the
new county which owes Its existence 10 his per.
severance and elOquence.

The fan Of the TFussdeIl bridge at Dixor, T..
by which over fifty persons lost their lives, is ssid
to have bceA caused by old flaws and cracks in
supporting bars which were attached to the casi
iron upFights at the north end of the bulge. An
examinAtiOn OF the debris has resulted in the dis
eovsry Of gust in the cracks 1t was hkeW Zee
found that parts Of the iron lattice work had
snapped during the winter, and NO attempt had
bssn mads TO repair them. 1t Is also alleged that
the builder Obtained the contract BY direct bribe-
~ Of the Board OF Aldermen Of that city, paying
the onlcials from 500 10 $500 each. As there are
probably many bridges throughout the country
that have besn erected on bEibod contracts and are
in q aimilaE condition, . special iuspection noW

Quite q severe accident occurred one
day last week upon the hill that leads
down to Fort Spring. Depot on the
chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.
Er. Long who lives in the valley oil
Peters Mountain was descending the
hill driving a wagon, drawn by two oxen
and two horses, and loaded with locust
pins, when owing to the pressure OF
the load upon the team, the
wagon not being sufficiently locked
they gave way before it and finally ran
of NJ. Long in his effort to stop them
was knocked down and run over; the
result of which was the breaking OF his
thigh bone, and otherwise bruising
him.
In front of the running team was
riding Miss Lizzie Leach of this coun-
ty, whose horse was frightened and ran
off, throwing the lady, breaking one Of
the bones in her leg below the knee,
and left her lying in the road to be
run over by the hoIses and oxen be-
hind her. Fortunately they shyed
when they reached her and in so doing
turned the wagon over the bracing, and
themselves broke loose from it.-Br-

We stated last Friday morning that
the tax upon property IN this city Tor
city purposes is fifty cents on the hun
dred dollars. This was a mistake
arising out of the fact that fifty cents..ls
the limit fixed by the charter and that
for several years past the corporation
tax has reached that figure. The pres
ent city council has, however, by the
exercise OF rigid economy been able
TO reduce the rate considerably
below that Of former years and this
year the city tax is only thirty cents on
the hundred dollars, instead OF fifty.
This strengthens the conclusions ar
rived at in our exhibit last Friday. The
total State, county, and corporation tax
paid this year by property holders in
Wheeling is only $40 on the hundred
dollars, as against the 1907 in Martin 6
Ferry or the s2.47! in Bellaire. These
figures ought to rut to rest the ciamor
about high taxes in West Virginia, and
show our people that something else
than the relative rates OF taxation is the
cause Of the investment Of Wheeling
capital in manufacturing enterprises on
the Ohio side OF the river.

these contendipg charmers, was decided
to be Miss Hattie J. Johnson, to whom
was awarded the first premium IN the
shape of the John B. Gordon cooking

given the second premium. This second
premium was the r. E. Lee stove o.
fered by Messrs. Seay & Walker. The

recommended that twenty dollars be

borne the proprietors of the celebrated

borne thousands of human beings, who

and perfect digestion, acquired under the
operation of this unequslled tonic and cor
