A VERY SAD CASE.

We mentioned few days ago the
"feeler" thrown out by the Clarksburg
Telegraph, to test the strength OF Re-
publican devotion to Hon. JOHN j.
DAVIS, considered as a candidate for re
election to Congress. The only response
to the TclcgrapRs suggestion we have
vet seen comes from the Richie Gazette,
which we regret to see, goes squarely
back upon the Republican favorite OF
two short years ago and declares that
it will not, under any circumstances,
advocate Mr.. DAVIS reelection. In
fact it makes light of his dignity and
with most reprehensible levity scofling-
" STYLES him JOHNNY J. 1t further in
Inmates that all that the Republican par
ty in the First District owed Dir. DAVIS
in consideration OF bis opposing the
adoption of the new Constitution
has been paid, and that Mr.
D., has had the best OF the bargain.
Considering the fact that the coustitu-
ton was adopted despite Mr.. DAVIS op.
position, and the further fact that, as
the Gazette expresses it, "he took his
share Of the salary steal aud stuck it so
far down in his pocket that it has never
been heard from since" there
may be some reason from
a Republican standpoint, for consider
ing our present representative well paid
for the service he rendered.
But to us it does not appear in quite
the came light. Our love clipgs to
those whom we have once trusted and
goes with them even when they 60 out
from our midst and follow after strange
gods. We wish them honor and reward
among their new associates to repay
in some degree for the struggle II has
cost them to desert their former friends.
Hence it is that we believe the Repub-
licans of the First District ought to re-
nominate Mr.. DAVIS. Nothing less
than many successive denominations
will compensate him for the wear and
tear OF conscience he has suffered in

We copy from the Richie Gazette a
suggestion that Hon. r. S. BLAIR, OF
Richie, be made the Democratic
etandsrd-bearer in the Congressiona!
contest in the First District this fall,
The Gazette is Republican newspaper
of the straitest sect, but there is much
truth in its commentator of Mr..
BLAIR whom the Democrats Of the
Fret District know to be a faithful and
sole advocate OF Democratic ideas. We
doubt rot that the suggestion OF his
candidacy Tor seat in Congress will be
duly considered by the District Con-
vention OF HE party. "Fas est al ho'te

The apathy OF some OF the people II
view OF the suffering that is being en-
countered in the South by reason OF tbs
unexaupled overflow OF the Lower
Mississippi is inexplicable. The Pitts
burgh Commercial OF yesterday morning
saws: There are forty thousand per-
sons in Louisiana rendered homeless
and destitute by the late floods, ter
thousand in Arkansas, and ten thou
sand in Mississippi, aud supplies will b'
necessary until August or September
when the corn can be harvested. The
present relief fund will be exhausted II
lees than two weeks, when sixty thou
sand OF our kindred--bone 81
our bone and flesh OF our flesh
will, be absolutely perishing fol
want of food. And yet, notwith'
standing the imminence OF the
emergency. Pittsburgh looks on, with
its hands in its pockets, almost as -sol-
idly as if its sensibiliiies had been
scared with a red hot iron. 1t ia
pitiable aud humiliatiug specialization
is there any reason why words should
be minced in saying So
In Wheeling there has been nothing
done for the relief OF our brethren and
customers in the region Overlooked
We have cold annually large quaint
ties OF our manufactured goods to the
very people who are now destitute OF
bread, and yet knowing their distress, we
have failed heretofore to send a slngle
dollar to help them in this hour OF their
need. 1t is shameful; and the dis
grace OF past inaotion ought to be
wiped out by prompt and liberal con-
tributioDs now. The Mayor OF New
Orleans has telegraphed repeats
edly to northern cities for
relief, but, beyond some gifts from New
England cities and scauty appropria-
ton from the national treasury, the re-
sponses have been few and discouragiug.
Cannot Wheeling do something yet that
will be worthy of her prosperity and OF
the humanity OF her citizens?
