BE- Gov. KEMpER ON Civil RIGllrs.
In recent letter from Richmond,
Mr.. Redfsld, of the Cincinnati Cam
m.rcial, says Of a conversation which lie
had with Governor kemper:
"In the course Of our conversation
the governor touched upon the eyerlast.
ing and to the South truly terrible Civil
Rights question. If that becomes a
law, he said, 4 shall immediately call
the Legislature together, and we will
wipe out every free school in the State
from the mountains to the sea. Not
one shall be lett for either color. We
prefer that our children should grow up
in the blackness of Ignorance; yea, we
prefer death itself rather than submit to
this degradation. There will never be
mixed schools in Virginia; never,never!

man OF committee appointed by the
County Convention, assembled ON the
2lst inst, for the purpose of nominating
two suitable candidates TO represent tie
County of Jefferson i'll the next House
of Delegates of West Virginia, take
pleasure in informing you that YOU have
been chosen by very decided majority

nominees. Let us hope then. that after
this fattering tribute of respect to your
integrity, and the confidence this ex-
preston of the peoples vii! proposes to

consistent with your will to serve them.
0. II. Z. SHERMAN, Chimp.
O. II. F. SnERMAN-Chairman OF
Communicable niismen.-Were to
consult my personal interest alone in
this. matter, | would undoubtedly find
sufficient reason to warrant me III the
refusal of this nomination. But when
| have reason TO believe that this very
flattering call for my humble services is
not only the demand of 4 faction, but
the expression of the deliberate will OF
a majority of the agricultural, the me-
chanical, and the commercial industry
Of the county, have no right to dlsre-
gard the generous compliment they
have paid me.
And in the acceptance of this fatter-
ing tribute of your respect and conf.
dence, allow me to state that feel
proud, not of the Office yon propose to
confer but that my conduct has been
such as to merit the approval Of the
virtuous and intelligent industry Of the
proud old county of jefferson.
Should the nominations you have
made meet the approval Of the masses,
and be sanctioned by their sutfrages at
the polls, my most ardent solicltude
shall be TO redeem the confidence you
have reposed in me. ] nave only to
regret, however, that the choice you
have made did not fall upon q person
more able to discharge the many and
onorous duties the Office imposes. But
should be elected, although the AL
mighty may not have awarded to me
brilliancy of intellect, he has Mt least
compensated, for which ! am truly
thankful, by the award ofs sufticiency
of energy, industry and perseverance,
which | will pledge you shall be vlgo-
rously exerted in guarding the interests
of the whole people. Rest assured,
then, gentlemen, that if l fall short OF
the anticipations you entertain OF me,
it shall not be for want Of fidelity to
your interests, or should commit an
error in the discharge of my duty, it
will be an error of the head and not OF
the heart, as a conscientious discharge
of that duty shall be my sole aim and
guide. ]. }. IAN NEh.

Mr.. Editor-Most of yonr readers
will rejoice to hear that the follow
ing counties of West Virginia have re-
fused liquor licenses.

Doddridge, Harrison, Fayette, Green
brier, GiImer, Jackson, Lewis, Lincoln,
Mason, Monongalia, Marshall, Nicholas,
Preston, Randolph, Ritchie, Roane' Ra-
leigh, Summers, Tyler, Taylor, Upshur,
Writ, Webster, Jefferson.
Notes.-Two of the counties above
have meyer granted license. Others
have refused them for eight. ten, fifteen
and sixteen years.
1t is certified of one that stringent
aud successful measures were adopted
to break up the slug lines. OF several
others it is certified that "the illicit
trade is vigorously" Of many more 1t
is certified that "the drug stores are the
greatest nuisances that they have to
contend with, and that pew law for
them is demanded
Accounts from many counties have
not yet been received, The county
clerks from whom information is being
received, in nearly every instance, ex-
press the hope that the licenses may
never be renewed-the last received to-
day says-''never as long as am clerk
OF this court.
There can be no doubt that the peo-
pie of the State are prepared tor prohl-
bition in whatever may appear to be Its
most effective form, and that such Is
their fixed will. More blessings have
been showered upon the heads OF the
magistrates of orr May court than upon
the heads of any others who ever sat IN
this county. Well did father say that
he should leave his five sons i'll the
world with q lighter heart than he could
haye ever done previous TO the 18TH
day Of May. 1874. Truly . brighter
day is lawning upon the rising genera
ton. Yours truly,
