The usual monthly list Of accounts was
allowed. In the list was an account of
Thos. J. Shumate for 1928 for bricks for
the Main street paving, and one of Eyler,
Cooper & Co. for$685 for iron grating fur
nished for the same Improvement. The lat
ter account was delayed on motion of Mr..
Evans and referred to the street committee
for examination. He said he wished to
know the price per pound of the grating
and other facts not stated in the bill. There
were two iron foundries in Stanton and
he wanted to know what the bids of each
for the work were. The account Of FL. j.
Lushbaugh for 81 ,294 for the erection of a
public school in the western part of the
city and for school desks, &c., was al
lowed.

Judge Hugh W. sheffey closed with
strong appeal for work in aid OF the cause,
calling attention to the fact that out OF
population of $4,000 in Staunton and Au~

IRON MANUFACTURERS AND
wORKMEN.

The dispatches tell us this morning,
that the iron manufacturers and puddlers
of Pittsburg held their conference on
Saturday without coming to any definite
agreement, but that they had settled up
on another meeting on Saturday next,
when it is hoped that the differences be-
tween them will be satisfactorily adjusted.
1t is greatly to be hoped that they will.
We see by one of our..exchanges. that in
the difficulties which occurred between
these same parties, a few years ago, there
was an estimated loss of about S3,OOO,OO
that is, this amount was lost by not
having been acquired IN the legitimate
course of business. But ut that time the
whole country was in state of artificial
prosperity. There was superiority of
money in circulation, and 1t was com
paratively easy thing for men to turn
their attention to something else, and
gain some sort of livelihood. Then
the loss was not so sensibly felt; but
such would be far from the case Hor.
The whole country is in the midst of
hard times, and we are about entering
upon a season, in which hard times can
least be. borne.
1t is manifest then, that, unless a COM
promise is effected between the manulact-
urers and workingmcn of Pittsburgh,
that much suffering is in store. The capt.
talist will suffer from his capital being
forced to lie idle; but the workingmen'
especially those who have families de-
pendent upon them, will suffer the cold
ness and bitterness of the season, rs well
as the shivcring and hunger of those who
look to them for protection.
The evils attendant upon a strike or
lockout are too great to be thought of
patiently. 1t is indeed to be desired that
nothing of the sort shall occur; but that
the impending difficulties will hc ar
ranged to the mutual benefit of all con-
cerned.

RoMULUs MOORE, colored man OF
prominence with his race in Georgia, has
called convention of cOlored men OF
that State to assemble at Atlanta on the
3Oth of November, to consider the sub
iect of colonization. The objective point
upon which his eyes are fixed, is town
in Texas, which was described to him by
n member of the late Chattanooga Con-
vcntion. 1t is, he says, a place Of about
1000 inhabitants. There are in it regu-
larlv laid out, and beautifully paved
streets, while duSky, but wealthy Danes
of high degree roll round in luxurious
vehicles. Wealth and happiness Is
plenty, and best of ALL no white trash is
allowed to enter. RoMULUs believes 1t
all, and will invite his colored brethren
to accompany him hither. His idea Is
that the Convention will be attended by
all the leading colorcd men in the State,
and will accomplish much.

Editors of the Register.
The political battle is over, and the
battle has been won by Democracy. II
is reasonable to inquire what has been
the cause of this great revolution in pol
tiles. From the inception of the Demo
cratic party until the present time, they
have been the only party that has up
held and battled for freedom of con-
science in all matters pertaining to the
widest and most comprehensive latitude
in the affairs of man. There is one
question which presents itself more than
in an ordinary light; it Is the mat
ter of intcmperancc. How much You
may restrain men in their appetitcs; it
has been found by sorrowful experience,
that they will indulge proportionally
as they are circumScribed. The
Legislature now i Democratic. Let
them consider the basis upon which
they were elevated, and let them now,
in this their opportunity, cancel these
obnoxious laws which have been forced
on the county and State, contrary to the
wishes of men. By so doing the Democ-
racy will take the preparatory step in
perpctuating its power, in lifting this
more than arbitrary measure that has
been thrown around the necks of the
people.
We only desire that this paramount
question shall receive the attention of the
Democratic Legislature, believing that
the welfare of the party, the welfare of
the State and the welfare of the entire
community will be enhanced by repeal
ing the liquor law rs it now exists.

cd the "bosS' hog of the State Of West
Virginia. After proper cleaning it, it
weighed G37 pounds. The animal WAS
of the chester white breed. Mr.. Steel
says that it was quite active considering
its immense size. When it was slaught-
cred hundreds Of our citizens went down
to look at 1t. There was wide range of
guessing on its probable weight. One or
tw" persons whose eyes were of a mag
nifying disposition guessed that it
would weigh 1900 pounds. The best
guess was made bv Gen. Northcott, who
put it at GAO pounds, thus coming within
81 pounds of its true weight.-Carks!

Having been so enthusiastic over the

Bill Brown can remain peacefully AT
home this winter, | could not get my
mind "simmered down" to write local
until reading your able correspondents
letter of the 10th inst, from Barbour,
signed BY Truth" aCQuicScc in the
opinion that the Legislature Of West Nir-
ginia could not elect To the Senate of the
United States man that would possess
"more experience, ability. integrity, in
dustry or capacity than Hon. John
Brannon, of Lewis county" Neither do
/ believe that there could be a man that
could exert more influence in that body;
that would reflect more honor to his
country; that would be more vigilant in
fighting for the rights OF his country,
that the gentleman just named. West
Virginia might then be proud that she
was represented in the Congress Of the
United States, for the first time, by II
statesman whose honesty had never been
questioned, who had been elected 10y the
the representatives of q free people, not
bv the actions of n machine known 10
the citizens of West Virginia a. the
Board of Registration, which, by lis OBJ
noxious work. caused to be elected the
present incumbent. We know of no
other man that is more deserving of
this honor than Mr.. Brannon, nor
any, we think, who, if elected
would fight more for the interests of
his country as did those patriots of the
bygone days of this once grand republic
such as the Henrys, the JetferSons, the
Madisons and the Randolphs, who Were
Americans, not politicians and money
grabbers, We hope the time may soon
come that the works and influence of our
statesmen may be felt by other means,
thar by receiving large salaries for OPP
pressing the poor by heavy taxation, and
ciusing corruption to beget corruption in

nation deeper into Indebtedness.
