THE WAY THEY PLAYED 1T.

Some time ago the REGISTER gave cur
rcncy to the report that Mr.. Corr had
been freely bled for his country and the
bummers of Wheeling, and that com
mittee, acting for the Republican party,
had engaged about all the hacks in livery
stables of the city. 1t now seems that
they did not intend to either Use or pay
for all the hacks they engaged.
One livery man finding, yesterday
evening, that a goodly number OF his
hacks had not been ordered out by the
Republican Committee who engaged
them. but had stood unemployed all day,
sought the Committee and demanded
pay for them. To his establishment and
Indignation, the Committee utterly re-
pudiatcd the contract and denied any
responsibility in the affair. A good deal
OF bad feeling was the result.

PIEDMONT.

We must congratulate our Piedmont
friends on their magnificent days work,
Yesterday. In 1872 that district gave
Gov. JACOB majority of "a; yesterday,
she rolled up against McCooI., the JACOB
candidate, the splendid majority of pa!
making u solid Democratic gain of
about 400. Much of this good work is
undoubtedly due to the good influence OF
Senator II. G. DAVIS, who resides and
votes in that precinct.
Taking the vote at Piedmont as an in
dey. WV. G. CLAYTON has undoubtedly
been elected Senator from that District,
in place OF BLAKEMORE, of Pendleton'
This is a crusher to the personal and
selfish aspirations of Gov. JACOB, and
will. at once, restore throughout the
State the unity of the old Democratic
party.

GEN. GorF AND THE DARKlEs.

At the election, yesterday, the negroes
here in Wheeling showed, probably
greater degree of sagacity than did their
white brethren. They knew that Gen.
Gorr's statement that he was opposed to
the Civil Rights Bill, was all sham,
gotten up for electioneering purposes
Whether they knew this from instinct,
native intelligence, or whether they had
been told privately, that this denial OF
their champion was only to help secure
his election, and enable him to serve
them in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, we kno"
not.
Certain it is, however, they were not
fooled. Many white men might have
been caught by the chat; but not so the
darkies. They knew what they were
after, and they voted for GoFF to man.
If it should turn out, by any possibility,
that the Radical candidate is elected, no
more decided endorsement of this infamy
will come from Massachusetts,, than from
the first Congressional District of West
Virginia.

THE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY.

Yesterday was day Of much more
than ordinary interest. The results Of
the elections held in the various States
will be looked for eagerly, as they will
decide, to great extent, the complexion
ofthe next Congress, and, what il very
important, they will show whether or not
the browning infamy of all the intamies
of our legislation during the last ten or
twelve years,-the! Civil Rights Bill
will be endorsed or rebuked.
Elections were held in Obi" g." So"
officers and twenty representatives IN
the next Congress; in Indiana for State
officers. and thirteen members of Con-
greSs; in Iowa, full State ticket, and
nine members of Congress; in Nebraska,
y State Legislature was elected which
will choose AN United States Senator
and also there was chosen one member OF
the lower house; and in our State three
members of the House, and State Legs
laturc upon which will devolve the
choice of an United States Senator. ~
In Arkansas there will be vot"
taken on the New Con>ti-
tuition, and also for State officers.
The Radicals of the State ignored
the election, pretending that the conven-
ton which fixed the day was Illegal, n
thew clam that BAXTER, who called the
convention together, was not the true
Governor of the State, hut that Brooks
WAS their lawful choice. This, too
Notwithstanding the fact that they
themselves counted BANTER in, and
threw BROOKS out. In Dakota
Territory there will also he
all election for delegate to Congress.
Thus il will be- seen that A. new MEM
hers Of the lower house We're chosen.
At the present writing, of course, it is
impossible to say how stands the record;
but it is to be hoped that, as the smoke
of battle clears away, there may be re-
v-sl-d decided victory for Democracy,
peace, good will, and an era Of returning
prosperity throughout the entire land.

THE CARPET BAGGERS CONVEX.
TON.

We see BY dispatches this morning,
that the grand Convention of Southern
Radicals, assembled yesterday, as per
agreement, at Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Senator POWELL CLAYTON, of Arkansas.
WAS there, and in the chair. PATTERSON,
If PENNSYLVANIA, now representing South
Carolina in the United States Senate,
was also there. These two names are fair
specimens of the class who will be pre-
sent. What is to be the nature of their
deliberations, may be clearly foreshad-
owed by the suggestions thrown out 10
them in circular from the Republican
Central Executive Committee, to the
effect. that they should examine into
every matter in the Southern States;
look carefully into the Obstacles which
carpet basgers, scalawags and Others of
that kind have to contend with in the
South, and the difficulties they encounter
in making progress towards enrich
ing themselves). These and various
other things of like nature they are called
upon to examine, and the letter winds up
with saying, "Let erery outrage be care
fully reported"
What delightful tea party they will
make. What u sweet scented set of
moralists and progressionists they are to
be sure; and what delightful school for
scandal will be formed, as they, each and
every one, draws out his batch of libels
and SANDERS from the recesses Of his car
pet bag. 1t does not require prophet

deliberations. They will simply be en-

gagged in manufacturing outrases for the

present, and forming fresh ones to be
perpstrated BY Themselves in the future.
And for bringing these plans to COM
plete success they will rely upon the CO.
operation of the United States troops,
ordered down for that purpose by
worthy President, and his most worthy
commanding officer Landaulet WILL

AT the present time Of writing we
know nothing whatever of the result of
the voting yesterday. No return has yet
reached Us from any of the precincts IN
this city or county, and the only lntelll-
pence we have in relation to the election
is that IN unusually large vote has been
cast, probably larger than was ever be-
fore polled in Ohio county. Whether or
not success has crowned the efforts of the
Democracy We do not know, but we do
know right well that they abundantly
earned a victory. During the whole day
they labored unilinchingly, earnestly and
well in behalf Of principles they pro-
fcss and in support of the nominees
of their party, and they stood like brave
men contcndng for what they knew to
be right. Every man Of the noble old
party felt it his duty to record his vote
and utter his voice against the encr"ach-
mcnts of the Federal power and the
wrong doing of the Federal Administra-
ton. and to make one determined
struggle against the negro supremacy
which, for partisan purposes, the Kadi-
calls in Congress seem determined to inn
pose upon the people. We congratulate
the Democrats of Ohio county upon the
splendid fight they have made, and we
hope to record the fact that II magniii-
cent victory has been won.
We congratulate the party also upon
the unity that has marked the past cam
paign and cementcd anew the associa-
ton of the friends of good government
and peace. In this county, the discord
and division that marked the political
campaign two years ago has entirely
--...,,.. ---,."v". single exception
of which we have heard, those
who were then called Independents,
or JACOB Democrats voted yesterday
for the regular Democratic nominees
and labored manfully for the election of
the whole ticket. This is of itself a suffi-
cicnt cause for Democratic rejoicing, and
NAV we'll cnkindlc renewed hopes Of
civil prosperity. These gentlemen have
shown their disposition to "Iet bygon"'
be bygoncs," and we doubt not that the
whole Democratic party of the State will
now. rs gladly and heartily as
We do, clasp hands with them across the
closed chasm. Hcncrtorth the Demo-
cratic party of West Virginia, strength
ened and united will stand in solid pha-
lanx against their political foes.
"Those opposed eyes,
Which, like the meteorS of troubled
heaven,
All OF one nature, of one substance bred,
Did lately meet in the intestine shock
And furious close Of civil butchcry,
shall now, IN mutual we'll Incoming ranks
March all one way and be- no more OPP
posed
Against acquaintance, kindred and allies"

Love Without Nonsense.

Once upon u time there was fair
young maiden whose name was Ma
ry, although they called her Moll,
for short. She wasn't a tall, dark
eyed maiden, with clear, transpar
ent skin, and lips like cherries, and
cheeks suffused with bushes. She
didn't have glossy black hair, sweep
ing back in wavy tresses from her
queenly brow, and her form wasn't
a bit like Hebe's. No; there was
none of those things; on the contra
ry she was short and thin, and had
red hair and freckles, and she also
sportcd snagglc teeth and wore
pads, but still she was right nice
girl, and there fell in love with her
one whose name was Bill, although
his friends called him William when
they wanted to hurt his feelings,
for he didn't like it much. He
wasn't fine looking, and had neither
curly brown hair nor a mustache.
Not much. Bill laid himself out on
the soap locks, and wore goatee
he had dyed twice week.
Now, this Bill, he was in love
with Mary, but he did not 90 and
make a deliberate ass of himself.
Did he, say, go into grove with
her, and in the soft moonlight, by
the streamlet that murmured sweet
ly by, and with the tender zephyrs
signing through the foliage, fall

An Expensive Comma.

Among the additions to the free
list in the tariff bill enacted about
two years ago, was the following ::
"Fruit plants, tropical and semi
tropical, for the purpose Of propa-
CATION and cultivation" The clerk
who cngrossed the bill, smiling
probably at the ignorance of the
legislator who drew 1t, thought to
improve upon his copy by inserting
a comma after the word fruit, making
it read "Fruit, plants," etc., thus
changing materially the sense of
the bill. The committee did not
observe the change, and the bill,
with the Clerks amendment be-
came law. The treasury depart
ment, however, administered it ac-
cording to the original intention of
it's framcr, until some shrewd i'm
porter of fruits planted himself firm.
iy upon the comma and refused to
pay duties on his imports, except
under protest. Insisting upon his
construction of the law, he at last
obtained the return OF tho duties,
and ever since fruits have been ad-
mitted tree. That comma is said to
have cost the government two mil
lions of dollars.-ET.

THE SECRETS OF THE GRANGE
The Initiatory Ceremonies.

Those people who arc SO anxious
to know "what they do in the
Grange" may have their curiosity
gratifcd by reading the following
graphic account of his initiation by
a correspondent Of the Randolph,
(Mich.) ENTERPRISE:
On being brought into the ante
room of the lodge (Greengrocer
Temple, No. lo1), was told that |
had been balloted for and accepted.
My informant, who was securely
masked by wha, l aftcrward learned
was large burdock leaf, perforated
with holes for the eyes, told me
that if I valued my life it would be
necessary for me to strip. AS / did
consider that of considerable worth
to me, and as he emphasized his
wishes by carelessly playing with a
seven shooter, l withdrew from my
garments with cagerness. My mask
ed friend then furnished me with
the regalia of the first degree-call-
ed "The Festive Plow Boy"-which
consisted merely of one large cab
bage leaf attached to waist-band
of potato vines. In this airy cos
tune l was conducted to the door,
where my companion gave three
distinct raps. was securely
blindfolded by binding slice of
rutabaga over each eyc.) A sepul-
chral voice from within d:"Who
comcs?"
My guide answered: GA youthful
agriculturist who desires to become
a Granger.
Sepulchral Voice.-"Have you
looked him carefully over?"
Guide.-"I have, noble gate-kcep-
er."
S. V.-"Do you find any agricul-
tural marks about his person?"
Guide.-"I do"
S. V.-"What are they?"
Guide.-''The candidate has car
roty hair, reddish whiskers, and n
turnup nose"
S. V.-''Tis well. Why do you
desire to become Granger?"
de.-(Answcring for candi-
date) "That l may thereby be bet
ter enabled to harrow up the feel
ipgs of the rascallv politicians"
S. V.-"You will bring in the
candidate. My worthy STRIPPING, as
you cannot see, l will cause you to
feel that you are received at the door
on the three points of pitchfork,
piercing the region Of the stomach,
which is to teach you the three
great virtues-Faith, Hope and
Charity. Faith in yourself, Hope
for cheaper farm machinery, Charity
for the lightning rod peddler. You
will now be harncssed, and in rep
resentation of the horse Pegasus,
will be tested as to endurance and
wind"
(Thc candidate is here attached
to a small imitation plow, by means
of hcmpen harness. A dried pump

bit and bridle- he is made to get
down OH all fours, the guide seizes

which he vigorously applies to the

is galIoped three times around the
room. While making the circuit
the members arise and sing:
