THE SWIFT Iron Works. We
learn from the Charleston Courier,
that a large aud enthusiastic meet
ing was held at that place on Satur-
day evening, 18th inst to take :
measures 10 secure the removal of
the Swift Iron Works from New
port, Ky, to that place. 1t was
shown by the speeches and liberality
at TIE meeting, thtt there is a spirit
of enterprise in the place that de-
serves success. Speeches were made
by Mess. J. B. Walker, Maj. Fitz-
Hugh, Col. Hogeman and Others.
Committees were appointed to
canvass for subscriptions to a bonus
to be paid in consideration of the re-
moval of the works there, although
it was stated that citizens would sub
scribe 5000, 900 to the stock; it was
stated that this subscription would
not secure the removal to Charles
ton, but that bonus of $50, OOO,-
it was thought would.
This we think is wrong. Hunting
ton would be glad to have these works,
but we would regret to see Hunting
ton pay any bonus for any works un-
less it might be in the shape of the
gift Of land.
We believe that liberal gift of
land should be made to any manufac-
turing enterprise OF Importance that
would bring business and inhabitants

LEwIsBURG W. VA, July I'M, iS7i.
Torug EDITOR o. Tux ADVERTISER:
| have been intending for sometime
past to write YOU an account Of our county
meeting, which was held in the Court
house at this place on the lst Of July, for
the purpose OF sending delegates to the
Charleston Convention, on the 9Th of Au-
gust.
Pursuant to 4 call Of the County Exec
utive Committee, the meeting assembled,
and was well attended by members OF the
party from all sections OF the county,
There was evidently disposition on the
part Of some present to set up the pins SO
that their fayorite would be able to make
a ten strike at Charleston, but as all Of
the candidates had some friends, this, OF
course, was not allowed, and after consid-
cradle murmuring, the meeting was or
ganized by calling an important gentle
man to tie chair. 4 committee Of two
was appointed from each district to elect
ten delegates to represent the county, and
after a short delay tie committee reported,
and their reports were received.
The consequence will be that Messrs.
McGausland, Kenna and Hereford will
each receive a number of votes on the
first ballot, but as Gen. McCausland will
have quite a majority, | presume that the
other candidates will be dropped, and
that the General will receive the unani-
nous support OF the delegation.
BY the way, General McCausland was
with us on the day of the meeting, hav-
ing arrived a few days previous, over the
Ches. x O. K. T., after having met with
General Grant at Hinton. | learn that
the cold reb' was very favorably received
by the Head Of the Government. have
no doubt that his hunt through the various
counties of the district was 4 very sue
cessful one, and that tie cry viii be at the
Charleston Convention, Don't shoot, Gen
eral. Wen come down.
The McCausland fever is raging in this
section, and his many warm personal and
army friends will see that all goes well
with him. heartily wish him success at
Charleston, aud if successful there, Of
course he viii represent us at Washing

Now l want to give my Democratic
friends up here little advice. Be it
known to all men that the Democrats
of McComas have had majority Of nearly
three TO one, eversnce the passage OF the
Flick Amendment, yet the Republicans
get all the township offices. as there
something rotten in Denmark ?" No, but
there has always been division in the
ranks. While the Radicals unite to man
upon their candidates, the democrats
throw away their votes upon three or four
Tor the same office. confess was sur
prised at the result last year. One Re
publican refused to run, saying, What is
the use, where the opposition is i've to
one !" yet every Radical who did run was
declared duly elected. Now the Demo-
Gratis met at Salt Rock long enough be-
tore the election, and nominated Rev. b.
L. Perry for President of the Board, and
Peter f. Love, with another, for Commits
sioners, who could have been elected if
Others had kept out of the race. Some do
not hesitate to saw they were elected, but
were counted out.
l have no axe to grind, political or
other, but know the Democrats are en-
titled to the Offices, and at the proper time,
| propose to do all can to accomplish
that end.

think that if these are not sufficient
to induce the location of such enter
prises here, they had better not
come.
We wish to be distinctly under
stood that we think the citizens
should interest themselves, subscribe
for the stock literally, give literally
of land for the location, but not COAX
or pay any body for coming here.
If Charleston can raise 5000, 900

$50, 900 more, she could build a

Until the night OF July 9th, the pros
