FIGHTINe JOE HOOKER renews an old
charge against BEN BUTLER, and says
that he is now prepared to show that the
heaviest of all Ben. BUFFERS grabs was
that he made during the war while COM
handing the negro troops on the James
river, in Virginia. He says that BUTLER
issued orders at that time requiring all
the officers and men of the colored
regiments to deposit their spare change
or "lesve their pocketbooks at his head
quarters. to be taken care of. "Now,
when one of these poor devils got Enoc ked
over and put under ground" says JOE,
edo YOU suppose the money ne mad lett at
Buffers headquarters was ever heard OF
oouin? Not cent of it. 1t all went to
the account and credit of BUTLER, who
made ut least million dollars in this
way ont of the poor negro regiments on
the James. was with the army in Nir-
oinia, and learned the facts about that
business, which ought to be told Gen.
HOOKER. who is now at Saratoga, and III
improved health, is unsparing in his de-
nunciation of BUTLER, and ifhc has the
proof for what he charges he should give

WE regret to learn that there is aprob-
ability of the discontinuance of the
Charleston Daily Courier. 1t has been
published during two years past with
both benefit and credit to Charleston,
and it ought not to be permit
ted to stop. In last Ihurs-
days paper Mr.. WALKER says;
an announcing our purpose to discoh-
tinue the publication otthe Daily Courier,
we find fault with nobody. We simply
assert our willingness to conduct what
some have been pleased to style IA great

Unless, therefore, there shall at once be
q more liberal coming forward of our
patrons than we care to anticipate, the
publication of the Charleston Daily

IL view of the Importance of the cleo
ton to be held this fall, and of the num-
her of candidates who are talked of for
the several positions to be filled, the
Clarburg S,ol profiers the followingJudic-
ious and timely advice: All cannot be
successful; the majority will fail, for the
mantle must necessarily fall to the lot OF
the few; then above all things cultivate
now the spirit of amity and good WILL
RecolIect that "rings' are OdiouS 10 the
defaoted; and in recollecting this, take
care that YOU do not fall into the trap by
making one for yourself. Enter. into no
corrupt bargains; make no undue prom
ises: let the people in their free, sovereign
capacitv meet together in convention un-
trammeled; they are the Judges; when
they have decided, let their decision be
vours. Above all things recollect that to
impuen the action ofsuch convention Is
to quarrel with the majority
Its the imperative duty ofthe Demo
cratic party to esehew "entangl"d ALI
onccs and to WELD its influence for the
GOOD of the general public, by selecting
the best men for position. The most
deserving men, in a party point, are
those who work the hardest; in public
point. those who are the best qualified.
The best and most deserving are those,
frequently, who are 10th to appear as
convassers for office; while the imperti-
nent canvasser is too often trimmer.
This. however, does not prevail rs a con-
sequence. for the legend must not be for
GOTTEN that providence helps those who
help Themselves We say then, listen
to the plcadingS. but promise no man, 50
that when the day arrives You may he

The P, w. & K. Subscription-A Prop.
osition.

WHEELING, July l3, 1874.
Editors of the Register:
You ask for q discussion, pro and con,
on the proposed subscription to the Pitts
burgh. Wheeling and Kentucky railroad.
| simply want to say that | don't be-
licvc three hundred thousand dollars, the
amount asked for, will complete and
equip that road in manner to make 1t
IL paying road. What l mean by that is,
it cannot be got up i'll any way for that
amount of money, SO that the revenues
derived from working it will pay current
expenses and leave anything for interest
on the investment or for dividends.
If McsSrS. Hubbard, Pendleton,
Mcclure and others who are pushing
the matter think otherwise, let them
stake something on it by making prop
osition to the voters of the two counties
who they are appealing to, like this,
viz:
That they will raise the money, com
plete the road, the necessary sidingS,
work shops, and depots, and fully equip
it ready to do all the business there may,
be for it to do: provided the two counties
will issue their bond for the three hun
drcd thousand dollars when the road Is
complete, and in good running order,
and not before. Whenever they will
offer such an induccmcnt rs this, then 1t
will be time to considcrit, in my opinion,
and no sooner. Respectfully.

LUMBER SENATORS.

Fenton, of New York, and Davis, OF
West Virginia, are both creations OF the
lumber interest. Fenton was cutting
lumber twenty years ago on the ALE
ghcny Mountains of West Pennsylvania.
Both were traders, country merchants,
and saw mill people. Fenton used to
buy eggs by the dozen and sell them by
the barrel. Davis does just that at this
moment. The keen sense and cunning
of both seem to suggest that the foxes
and other animals they routed from the
lumber left to these Senators their art
fulness. FentOn has the most velvety
touch in the Seuate; Davis is a less cul-
tured but equally acute Reynard. The
latter used to be train-brakesman and
conductor.

and United States Senator Henry e.
Davis recently paid only one dollar an
acre for mountain timber on the North
Branch of the Potomac. His logs would
not float when he cast them in the
INSTRUCTED stream, the water failing to
rise to that volume which would sweep
the lumber down to his costly
boom at Bloomington. He has, therefore,
for fiftv miles, been compelled to cut a
path along side of the savage stream and
blast the rocks in the channel-very eH-
pensive work, and somewhat indicative
of the fate of a canal that would try to
cross the Allegheny Mountains with suf-
ficient water to float barge. Senator
Davis has just built great empty dam
on the mountains, to catch rain and brook
water enough to send log down the
natural bed of river by artificial inunda-
ton.
