Day by day the Developments convince
us that the entente c0rdidk that recently
subsisted between the Charleston CoEriel
and the Wheeling Register has been hope
lessly damaged. We don't know just Wha
it ia that has tangled these sweet bells 81
out Of tune-but it is certain that whereal
there used to be 1.-TWO souls with but
single thought, two hearts that beat al
one" now there is lily disguised WFatl
and all unCharitableness. We commented
briefly on the sadness Of this yesterday
morning; and we recur to 1t, for the pur-
pose OF introducing by way Of iurthel
evidence the following observations from
the Daily Courier Of the 10th:
"Since the crushing defeat Of Cover
nor Jacob before the Court Of Appeals, the
Wheeling Register has been OF a loss iol
somebody to quarrel with or grumblo al
- ave don't see that there
is any reputation for independence to be
made by simple echOing the noisy scan :
lal.mongers Of the opposition press. such
tlegcneracy as that can command nObody's
admiration. Lot our ferOCiOus cotempor'
airy attack Tic Supreme Court for not Gp'
pointing u Democratic Clerk. There's .
theme worthy Of his noblest and seVerRst
efforts. And II he really desires reputH-
ton as an independent and fearless jour
nalist, we don't know any better method
ri displaying at once his sincerity and bis
courage. People always admire q man
who talks without fear OF painful Conse-
luenCes. II our irate contemporary can
only be persuaded to explode In that d.
reCtiOn, if he can only be induced to do
iastiCe 10 his subject and himself by COM
pletcly untwisting the links o! harmony
latent within his personal consciousness
and letting out the music which his theme
must inspire, VIC will agree to vote him
the privilege Of printing all the marriage
blanks the State mGy demand tor the next
ten centuries. And the exhibition would
be cheap at tho price h'
Having written the foregoing, we take
up the last CaJeH Press, aud We find 1t
quoting "tho following lOrcible Language
from the fearless and stsunch Democratic
paper, the Wheeling Register" r-.
"Wc will expose the derelictiOn ofluty
or corruption in public officers whether
the delinquent be found In the Democratic
or Republican ranks. If THE PEOPLE in
whose behalf VIC speak, DE- ROBBED, WE
SHALL NOT STOP TO ENQUIRE AFTER THE
POLITICS OF TIE THIEF, but shall assist In
ierreting out, exposing and Furnishing the
Culprit, and, II possible, In recovering the
plumber for its rightlul owner regardless O
5o!itics or personal association. Whether
that culprit be Credit Mobilier or Salary
Grabbing Congressman; a bargaining and
intrudIDg Legislator or STATE oFFlcRI
shall make no difference with US. Al
shall DO exposed and punished alike, II II
is IN our power to assist in doing it."
This "lorciblo language" appeared in
tho Register some time since. There is
only too much reason to believe that the
Courier took these illusions as personal,
aud hence the kcenness Of the retort
above quoted. "The undeVOut Astrono-
mer is mad" that is evident. But now II
is tho Registers turn and VIC shall be sur
prlsed If the Courier man doesn't get
Rowland for his Oliver.
OF course, as We have intimated, there
must be some inspiring cause for this fam
lily unplcasantnCss, but what it may DO is
no affair of ours. Besides, "tho quarrel Is
very petty quarrel as it stands VIC should
only spoil it by trying to explain it."
