A Lamentable Result of Republican
- = s. RnlA


Years and years agone, when honest
officers were in charge of our District
monetary affairs, Officers who were more
watchful Of the public interests than of
their individual pecuniary, profits "a
handsome sum of money was judiciously
invested by the Commissioners OF the
Poor for valuable tract of land and the
erection of suitable buildings thereon for
the better protection and comfort of the
destitute poor of our District; land for
years and years this home for the poor
and infirm was watched over as sacred
trust, whilst the inmates were abundant
ly supplied with everything requisite to
their comfort and gratifcation. But alas!
since blight has fallen upon our land,
and in the grand upheaval which fol-
lowed, Republicanism obtained the asr
tendency, and the veriest scum of that
upheaval-vile and !despicable scamps-
floated to the surface, and were put into
Office by the Republican party, and have
held the reins of government and had the
disbursement of the public funds. our
destitute and unfortunate paupers have
been robbed of their comforts and made
to feel the change of their custodians;
for time and again have they been on the
eve of starvation, and compelled to sub
sist on bread and milk alone. Andnow,
as.will be seen by reference toour adver-
tising columns, this once "haven of rest"
Our County Poor House-is about to
pass under the Sheriff's hammer in pay
ment of a long deferred and just debt
due by the County for services rendered.
Yes, our County Poor House is to be
sold by the Sheriff to the highest bidder,
because, forsooth, the Republican party
have sought out, with only few hon
orable exceptions, the veriest riff-ratf-
soulless scoundrels-and placed them in
Office, and through whose imbecility,
theft and plunder, the enormous sums
extorted from the Taxpayers, (under the
pretence of levying fund to procure
supplies for the poor) have been reckless
ly expended. Verify, Republicanism,
as appreciated and carried out in this
section of Grants dominion, means sim
ply to steal and plunder-plunder the
rich and plunder the poor-yea, and to
rob the very pauper of his daily bread,
and cause him to be driven from his only
"Home" on earth, out upon the cold
charities of the world. Shame! Shame!
Shame!
The present County Commissioners, it
is but fair to state, are not at all respon-
sible for the deplorable condition of our
County finances. 1t is due to the rascals
who preceded them in Office. And we
understand the present Commissioners
are making energetic efforts to save the
County Poor House, and in Cue time will
try and obtain an injunction restraining
he Sheriff from selling in the case ad-
vertised. We hope they will succeed.

Homicide in Beech Island.

On Sunday night last, Mr.. Barney M
Lamar, an old and well known citizen o.
Beech Island, shot and instantly killed
a negro man named VIM. ]. Hayward
On the following day Mr.. Lamar repaired
to Aiken and surrendered himself tc
Sheriff Jordan of that County. There
being no Jail as yet in Aiken, Mr.. La
mar was brought to this place to-day
"wednesday by Deputy Sheriff Jordan
and lodged in our Jail.
The cause of this fatal affray we under
stand originated from suspicious circum.
stances tending to implicate Hayward
with the domestic relations of Mr.. La.
mar. Further particulars next week.

The House bill amending the code 50 as to

The bill to organize the Circuit Courts, es-
tablsh their jurisdiction, &c, has become a

The Wheeling Register of the 25th ult says
On last Saturday, only few hours before
the time fixed for adjournment and while the
cars and the steamboat were each waiting for
their respective loads of Legislative passengers,
Governor Jacob sent to the Legislature three
several veto messages. One related to the bill
concerning the Congressional election held on
the oath Of October; another objected to an Act
passed for the punishment of parties concern
ed in the destruction Of public records and
the third attempted to prescribe to the people
Of Parkersburg what municipal officers they
should elect and how they should be chosen
The former was passed over the veto.
The Wheeling Register speaking Of the
members starting for home, says
Some Hew East and some few West. and
some flew over the cuckooS nest. Some got
heme by way Of Cincinnati, others By Rich
