OUR STATE FINANCES.

The following article in-recard TO our finan>
cialecouditton, width we ali p from the Green
brier lodspeadeaf, speaks for itself:
"Whyfissi. that we hear'so little now from
our Radical enemies about Convention 'in>
EQUITIES, .high .axes,' financial roin,' and all
that sort.of thing, predicted. by them ifsthe
Democratic party should come into power?
"When the Democratic party took control!
ofthe State Government, the treasury was in
a woeful condition. Tt was empty, and the
State in debt to the school fund some fifty
odd thousand dollars, which amount had been
illegally drawn from that source by Gov.
Stevenson toyenforce the registration law
Within two years the Democratic party,
through its financial officers, paid of that debt
and restored to the school fund every dollar
of the money stolen therefrom by Radical
hands. A constitutional Convention was
called and held, and all expenses Of that body
have been betrayed and taxation not increased
one cent. A protracted session Of the Legis-
lature has been held to'conform the laws to
the new Constitution, and all the expenses
thereof have been paid without an increased
levy. neutrality-suspicious. for humane
and criminal institutions have been granted
without imposing additional taxation, and, to-
day, we have comfortable balance of about
five hundred thousand dollars in:the treasury.
A complete system of collections il, daily!rro>
ducing additions to this sum.
"This does not look much like the State
was to become bankrupt under Democratic
auspices. Yet, we cannot find single Rad
'ical sheet honest enough to inform its readers
Of the healthy condition of our finances;
They maintain aconsistent silence and sullen>
ness.
'Ehe Radical party Of West Virginia is a
party of eternal spite. It's members look
upon the power of the State as theirs to pre-
serve, enjoy and transmit They can't sub
nit, patiently, to any interference with their
pretensions. They can speak nothing of their
successful antagonist, unless accompanied with
calumny. To express undying hate, and, if
possible, to divide and destroy the Democratic
party, they will stop at no means, however
disreputable.
"All we ask is for is fair and impartial
comparison of the financial condition Of our
State during the ascendancy of the Demo-
cratic party, with its condition during the era
of Radical rule We will not suffer by the
comparison. We hear nothing of defaulting
sherias within the. last two years. We hear
of no legislation, now, releasing defaulters
from the payment of their just Obligations
No depleted and bankrupt treasury. Every
thing is easy, and taxes are getting lighter"

Violation Of the Sabbath.

ar. Dalgarn:-An Editor is regarded by
the public as a sort Of walking encyclopedias,
whose knowledge bog is full of information
upon every subject-possessed of kind,
oblging disposition, who is ever willing, gra-
tuitously, to satisfy the honest inquirer. If
this be so, there is bi. of information I
would like to get at, and if You have it not at
your disposaijust get it from one of the gem
tlemen, learned in the law, who are all around
your sauctum. 1 have always had the inn
preston that the law protects tho Sabbath in
its sanctity. To this end there is statute
somewhere laid down which forbids the pros
ecution or doing on the Sabbath of the every
day or weekly business on the penalty of pros>
ecution aud fine. Under such statute the
Farmer cannot plough, the Merchant cannot
sell his cloth, the Mechanic cannot pursue his
trade, etc. Now I wish to know is there
really such statute in the books? If there
is such, is it general in its application or are
there certain avocations that can plead exccp-
ton to the general rule For instance: Has
the Druggist the right to sell on the Sabbath
day any article that he has in his store, or
must he confine his sales to that which is abb
solutely medicinal in its strictest construction
Has the Baker and Confectioner the right to
ply his trade and dispose of on the Sabbath
the many articles he has in his shopY Is the
Tobacconist exempt from the working of the
law and can he sell his snuff and cigars all
li6ttum? The business of the Doctor involv>
ing life and death is merciful one, therefore
necessitous and above law So with the
preaching of the Gospel by the ministers of
Christ. Please give the desired information,
and oblige lover of the Sabbath and one who
seeks to maintain its sanctity.
INQUIRER.
In reply to the interrogatories of GIN
quirer" we quote from Section l6, Chapter
cxlix, of the Code Of West Virginia,
which says: "If person, on Sabbath day,
be found laboring at any trade or calling, or
employ his minor children, apprentices, or
servants in labor or other business, except in
household or other work of necessity or char
ity, he shall be fined not less than Eve dollars
for each offense. And every day any such
minor child, or servant, or apprentice is so
employed shall constitute distinct offense."
OF course druggists, in the legitimate busi-
ness of furnishing medicines absolutely needed
Cd the Sabbath day, are exempt from this
penalty in that particular, but DO other. To
inflict the penalty imposed in the section above
quoted, VIC infer that a complaint against the
party violating the law should be made before
Justice of the Peace having Jurisdiction I

HEAVY RAIN AND FLooD-On Thursday
evening, just four weeks after the last rain
and storm, We were visited by one of the
heaviest rains that has fallen for several years
The rain fell very fast and continued for some
time. AS a consequence the waters gathered
in perfect flood along the town>run. and
swept over oil the gardens bordering it. doing
much damage to vegetation. The water ran
into the house occupied bv Mr.. McCeland,
town sergeant, and also filled number of
celars.
The embankment of the Shen. Valley r.
R., at the culvert on Maj. Greene's land. was
nearly broken thrnuch by the water Trap
Hill Run, on the Charlestown pike, stream
usually about ankle deep, was past fordins.-
The lands bordering the run were flooded,
and the growing corn was badly Washed
Fencing was also washed away.

BOLD ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE OLD HOTEL.
"A bold attempt was made by some unknown
incendiary to fire the Old Hotel, in this place,
on last Monday night. The guilty wretch
entered the building, and at the foot of the
steps leading M to the third floor, deposited
paper, half pint flask of kerosine oil, and
other combustible material, and set the whole
mass on fire, blu. from causes that seem mis-
raculous, the light material with which the
fire was started failed to ignite the wood work
and the fipe died out. The steps and flooring
were somewhat charred by the fire.

G. ]. FAULKNER FOR PRESIDENT.

The Martinshurg Statesman of last week,
in an article in the new order of the Patrons
of Husbandry, closes us follows:
awe of the South too, aye, of the little
State of West Virginia, can trot out the
greatest statesman farmer, for the next presi-
dency, to be found anywhere in the broad
limits of the Union-one who is wholly in
sympathy with his brother farmers in their
great struggle for equal rights and who, be-
side, is the peer, in all the elements of states
mauship, of any public man living in the
United States. Need we name him Charles
James Faulkner. AT the proper time, as we
learn from private communications addressed
to this Office, he will be brought prominently
forward by the farmers of the West and South,
as their candidate for the Presidency, believ-
ing that he possesses more elements of popu-
larity for that responsible position than any
man that can be named, North or South
There is growing determination, not only
among the farmers, but among all classees of
the people of the country to bring their gov
eminent back to its former anchorage and to
have it honestly and fairly administered in
the interest of all classes, and the motto
"Faulkner. free trade and fraternity" may
yet prove the slogan Of grander revolution
In 1876 than tibet inaugurated in 1776.-
itical struggle is sagacious, courageous
leader-one who will carry his plume UNI
daunted in the face of the political. enemies
of the country. Such leader the country
will find in the statesman we have named. and
we believe with the Baltimore Gazette that
It would be good thing to make nomina-
tion for the succeeding presidential term
ao'c. With bold, fearless leader like Mr.
Faulkner to marshal the conservatives of the
country, victory in 1876 will be assured"
IF this movement among the farmers is
really an important one, we think we have a
plenty Of time to cast about for man worthy
to bear the colors of this infant party. We
would suggest to the Statesman, that any att
tempt to forestall a nomination would be in~
Judicious, and smack of private friendship
rather than patriotic zeal for the public
welfare, and might prove seriously prejudicial
to the interests of party just rising into in,>
portance. IF after massing their strength
and canvassing the country for proper man,
G. j. Faulkner should prove to be the only
man throughout the length and breadth of the
United States, suitable to play the role of
standard bearer why then, in the name of
common sense, let him be nominated and sup
ported too: We hope the Statesman will
have soon satiatcd its generosity in offices to
Mr.. Faulkner. Truly Senatorship and the
Presidential Chair, are noble gifts for Mar
tinsburg paper to bestow!

SHEN. VALLEY RAILROAD.

The Martinsburg Statesman, in an article
that appears somewhat authoritative, says:
eff Mr.. Kennedy 1.-THE President of the
Cumberland Valley and Shenandoah Valley
railroads] will now also accept the Presidency
of the Martinsburg & Potomac railroad, we
confident that it will be most promptly
and cheerfu1ly surrendered to him by the
present incumbent, and he will thus be able
to give unity and harmony of design and ex-
ecution to these three important enterprises"
The same paper, in another article, says:
"Ihe proposed connection of the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad at Martinsburg can 10
no possible manner impair tho interest of
Shepherdstown. Friend little has clicked,
before he was spurred." The arrangement
in all probability will be but temporary one,
and the day is no doubt not far distant, when
other Pennsylvania improvements will seek
route to the south across the Potomac at that
place. In the meantime, Shepherdstown will
enjoy every benefit and advantage from the
railroad which it could do if it terminated
there, or if it extended its connection with
the Martinsburg and Potomac Railroad from
any point between Charlestown and Shep>
herdstown. There should be no jealousy be-
tween the three aourishing towns of Charles
town, Shepherdstown and Martinsburg-
They should regard themselves as members
of the same family, and rejoice in every in
cident of good fortune that may bless either
or any of them"
