THE CLERGYMAN AND THE BARREL OF
APPLES.
A few days since Gen. Pannell and
George Davenport had two barrels oil
bottled whisky sent 70 them by their
|liq1ofstSt friends In Wheeling % re.
ward for their championing the repeal o.
the present. whisky law, The baItela
were branded appiea, and they looked
like apple barrels, and to all spparent In
tents and purposes were apples. They
even amelled like apple b1rtels Any body
would have taken them for apple barrels,
without thorough examination. They
were apple baffelSS -, g 90 q ~
The gentlemen famed had q consult;
ton about the apples that had been sent
them by their good constituents, and
concluded that as the season was well
nigh over, they could not eat more than
one barrel Of them, and agreed to send
the other 10 % certain clergyman in the
city, who was the friend Of both Of them,
spiritually as well as otherwise. They
soon afterwards met him on the street
and told him that they intended 10 send
him q barrel Of apples. Of course
the reverend gentleman thanked them
kindly for their generosity. They sent
the apples around, and when the barrel
was opened, to the utter astsnishment Of
the divine, 1t was filed with pints and
quarts and quarts and pints, without mum.

gbrethrin1 polite note TO please call and
get their apples, as they were OF q Equality
and kind that would make q sermon read
badly to flavor 1t with them. They sent
for them, and at the same time offered

The Senate Judiciary Committee,
through the Hon. Mr.. Custom, the gen
tleman who wears cloak like Catholic
Priest and walks like an Emperor, sub
mitted d report in relation to the $2,100
used by Governor Jacob out Of the con-
tipgent fund 70 pay the expenses Of . lay

The report Is very elaborate. Its fully
as elaborate as McMillen's speech on the
annexation OF Cuba to the good county
,oi Doddridges II quotes the Conati Tuition
In relation to the Contingent Fund; II lays
down the powers and duties Of the Gov.
ernor. It asserts that His Excellency
evidently used the &, 100 to obstruct the
law instead Of executing 1t. It isa" big

Resolrei By the Legislature Of West Nr.

That it shall be the duty Of the Attor-
ney General to institute and prosecute on
behalf Of the State such appropriate pro.
eeedings as may be necessary TO reclaim
the money 30 improperly paid.
IN Noy my own oplnion about this low
dung attack on5the Governof' "a simply
this: It Is spite work. It Is intended 10
call off the attention Of the public from
the Governors Message that has proven
one OF their pets guilty Of $50, 900 fraud,
and has cornered the Bourbon faction OF
the, Legislature as abettofs and backers oi
ibis fraud. II d a stop thief Argument.
It lacks the necessary thickness to force
the people 70 swallow It.
The Governor clearly has the right 10
use all the means In his powersto execute
the laws. /, Fnlly half the people in this
State are Of the opinion that he has been
entirely toolehient,s He would have been
justified in calling out the militia and
