It was plainly shown that the negroes

Senate was given the cold shoulder
and forced to retire from the hall
Although there was much bitter
wrangling in the Convention, it was
very evident that the majority Of the
delegates were suspicious Of the Re
publicans of this State, and were dis.
posed in future to act guardely and
pursue a course Of independence as
regards that party. In this they have
really benefited themselves, and the

vention, 60 back to their homes with

Mistaken Economy.

In view Of the hard times that
have come upon the country, 1t be-
hooves our people to practice the
most rigid economy. But while We
ought to effect every practicable cur
tailment in our domestic expenses
there are certain duties imposed up
on us which should not be shirkcd or
evadcd. Not one of these duties is
more imperative than that of keep
ing our half grown children atschool.
If the boy Tor girl) who has travel
ed part of the course, is taken away
from his books, not only does he lose
much of the progress already acquir-
ed, but his education is interrupted
and neglected at the very age when
the superintendent Of a teacher is of
the greatest value.
Nearly every lad we saw passing
to and from school lastyear will have
to carve out his own future in life,
and few years hence many a young
man in this country will bitterly re-
gret that his parents stunted his cd
ucation TO increase his patrlmony.
Depend upon it, It's mistaken econo-
my not to give your sons (and daugh-
tcrs, too,) an education. This is en-
inently an age of schools, and ten
years hence, to be without an cduca-
ton wilsinevitably consign the VIC
tim Of Mistaken Economy to the very
humblest walks of employment; and
those parents who now deny to their
sons thecxcellent opportunities offer
cd by the schools in our midst can
scarcely comprehend the many dis
advantages under which they will
labor when they come to struggle
and to compete for success in the bat
tie of life.
We are not interested in any of
the institutions of learning in this
village, except what we share in com
mon with every citizen, but an I'M
preston prevails that, in view of
these hard times, our schools will be
less literally patronizcd the next
year than last, and We believe no
greater misfortune could befall the
community.
Happily for our people, an cduca-
ton may be acquired with compara-
lively little expense. We question
if there is Z better school in the State
than the Academy of this town. 1t
is entitled to the most liberal patron
age, and in view of this fact 1t does
seem to US, that he who neglectS to
give his sons the full advantage of
this school disregards duty he will
one day bitterly repent; he will re-
pent.it when he lives to see his son
out-strippcd by his companions in
the contest for the honors and the
profits Of this world.

HON. PC. EASTMAN.

By the subjoined letter from Bar
bour County, to the Charleston cOur-
Ter, it will be seen that the Hon. P.
C.Eastham has been proposedas can
didate for Governor. The name Of
Hon. H. NJ. Mathews of Greenbrler
County, has been mentioned for the
same office, but in view of the fact,
that Mr.. Mathews is now Attorney
General, and that the eastern coun-
tics of this District viz, Greenbrier
and Monroe, have been honored in
giving to the State the Attorney Gen.
eral, 4 member Of Congress, and a US.
Senator now in Office. think that the
Western end is entitled to some con-
sideration. We cordially endorsethe
ticket proposed by Barbour County.
So far as we are acquainted with the
gentleman named, and while there
are many gentlemen in the District
who would do honor to the office of
the Chief Executive Of the State, We
do not believe there is one who unit
ing so many other desirable qualifi-
cations, could secure such 4 united
and cordial support from his own
District, as Mr.. Eastman. We are
well aware that he is not seeking the
office; on the contrary We know that
he has announced his intention to
some at least of his friends of not be-
ing candidate for reelection to office
but we believe he could be induced
to forego his personal intlinations, if
thereby he could serve his party and
the Stat. Mr.. Eastman is not poll
tician, but farmer, who living on a
finely cultivated plantation, has
nothing to gain by giving up his
peaceful life for the boisterous arena
Of politics, but his qualifications'em.
inently fit him for Office, and he would
doubtless listen to the voice Of duty
in the matter.
The nominee for Auditor, Jos. S.
Miller Esq, Of Cabell County is also,
not only well fitted for the position,
but is one, who though but young
man, is known to gentlemen from all
parts of the State, and has a spotless
record as the most efficient clerk that
has ever served the State Senate; he
would be as likely to unite the party
in his nomination, as any other man
that could be proposcd.-Huntington

Our colored friends and fellow-citi-
zens of Virginia, have been holding
q convention in Richmond for the
purpose Of discussing various ques-
~tions relating to their personal and
political welfare. 1t was ardently
hoped that the convention would ex-
press strong Republican sentiments,
and give aid and comfort to the party.
But as far as this hope was concern
ed, they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. A resolution offered early in
the session endorsing the administra-
ton was tabled, and not touched
again, while comments very dis
couraging to the carpet-baggars were
fully INDUCED in. In fact a cores
pondent writing from Richmond
states that if there was any prefer
once shown to any party it was de-
cidedly towards the Democrats. He
writes:
"Thc signal failure of the Radicals
in their attempts to make the Con-
vention serve them causes great re-
joicing in this city. The negroes
were thoroughly Independent Of all
parties and resolution denouncing
the Democratic party and laying the
Ills Of the negro in the heads of that

The Situation.
c. E. HOGG

The cry of woe, want and perjury
goes up from every part of this our
great and populous Republic. Star
walton stares the people in the face.
This was not the case in years gone
BY; peace and prosperity then smiled
throughout our land, but the change
produced in fifteen short years, just
rolled BY, is too sickening and heart
rending not to call a halt and ask
what is the cause of this national Ca
lamity. When the war closed the
country was left in the hands of the
Republican party; that party promis-
cd to restore the country to its pris-
tine purity, and to so run the ma
chinery of government as to bring
back peace and prosperity to the pco-
pie. Has the Republican party re-
deemed its promise? Look around
YOU, North, South, East and West,
and the question is far better answer
ed than man can answer. Has the
party had time to do this?
Time has piled his busy shuttles
and woven ten long years, of wool,
and the country is to-day in an hun
dred fold, aye thousand fold worse
condition than when the Republican
party took possession of the govern
ment. In 1865 war Of arms was de-
clared to be at an end, today a war
of oppression and tyranny is being
waged by the bond-holder, the con-
tractionist and thespecic resumption
ist, fostered by the Republican party
against whom? Against the peo-
pie, against the laborer, the mechan-
ic, and in truth against the masses
Democratic and Republican-of the
South, the West, the North. Can the
people longer stand it? VIII the pee.
pie give the party another lease of
power to despoil this fair land?
They in their State elections have
answered never; and the people in
1876 will say never! never!

West Virginia, by reason Of some
unfortunate state legislation, has for
several years been the head quarters
of what are known as wild cat" in.
surance companies. Companies of
this class consist generally Of a scoun-
drelly executive officer or two, and a
stupid board, with company assest of
an office desk, a small supply of sta
tionery, and a few thousand dollars
of bogus securities. They are not
slow to rake in all thcpremiums they
can get, but are very slow to pay a
loss, and whenever they are pressed
they generally go to the wall.

submit the following preamble and
resolutions:
WHEREAS, The Congress of the
United States having passed an act

tional Exhibition of American arts,
products and manufactures, in COM
parison with foreign countries; which

I'd. That having common herl-
tase in the past glories of this great
Republic, and an abiding interest in
its future prosperity, We claim the
privilege Of participating in the pro
posed commemoration of its birth,
and heartily cooperate in contribut-
ing our share of exhibits, to illus
trate the progress of our country in
all that benefits mankind, under the
fostering care Of its free institutions.
Sd. That the opportunity which
the exhibition will afford for making
known to the world the number and
nature Of the various natural resour-
ces Of our State is one which it can
not afford to neglect, and that prompt
measures should be adopted by her
people to insure 4 suitable display OF
them on that occasion.
4th. That the Governor OF the State

point FIVE citizens, who, in conjunc-
ton with the two u. S. Commission

other associations; to disseminate in
formation regarding the Exhibition,
and to stimulate local action on all
measures intended to make it sue
cessful in fully representing the in
dustries of the country.

dorse any reasonable action of the
Legislature looking to 4 collective
display at the Centennial. of our pro-
ducts and resources, and that We
earnestly invoke the aid of our fel-

the patriotic objects which this meet
ing has been called to promote.

A decision of some Importance to
inventors has just been rendered by
the United States Supreme Court, to
the effect that, although letters
patent may be granted for an inven-
ton which consists entirely in new
combination of old ingredients, pro
vided it appears that the new combi-
nation of the ingredients produces a
new and useful result, yet . suit for
infringement cannot be maintained
against u party who constructs or
uses a substantially different combi-
nation, even though it includes ex-
actly the same ingredients.

the Wheelip Ia -
reputation that paper now enjoys,
its dignity and standing, is indebted
to the able pen of Mr.. Walker, We
can but express our surprise that
Lewis Baker & Co., were so basely
ungrateful as to permit the publica-
ton of such an article, even when
paid for it in dollars and cents. The
Register in thus giving its columns
to the defamation of the character Of
the man who has made the paper all
it is, should receive the severest con-
demnation Of the Democratic press of
the State, and also in a positive way
by the readers Of that paper. While
it was a mean and contemplate at
tempt to degrade Mr.. Walker and
bring him on a level with the auth
or of the article, it was also . direct
insult to the Democracy Of the Third
District, and we are of the opinion,
from the severe criticisms made up
on the article hereabouts, that the
Wheeling Register will find that it
will be SO regarded by its Democratic
subscribers in the Third District.
