Barring all hypcrbolc Of pull and bun
combc, 50 common to old year yaledictory
and Lew year salutation, OF Hancock
county, in all modesty and verify no less
than THIS may be SAID; Both by reason
olIm,ludinal location and Of geographical
magnitude. she Is the tip-top most stone
Of our fair column ofsoycrcisn State; she
has richer combination Of soil, miner
ais and natures facilities for their utili.
| zatiou; she raises more wool and gas (of
/ the carbonic variety; she has prctticr
1 and gamer girls, and makes more
fire brick; she has more profession
nj Christians of more ultra prcton-
/ tions and dryer ChfistmascS-thcsc
generally; and She has in the past Y ear
| exhibited the shortest delinquent land
list, and the first Niger on u jury; has
paid her State taxes more promptly, and
done more for the practical solution OF
the Mayhem family problem; she has
had fewer legislative tavors and raised
more points OF order than any of all her
| iiitv-threc sisters. In view OF these toct,,
could the aforesaid ifty-thrcc near rclU
tivcs OF Hancock do better thing than
to vote her, out of the great store Of Spol!s
dIstributable in the near -, at least IL
| Governor, with one or more other mem
bcrs of the Board of Public Works, II
Supreme Judge, Congressman, and
such other iavors in that way rs "BUck
/ Counties may find not wholly lndl>-
pcusuhIe To- their own upbuildmg and
comfort.
That last thought leads to another 1t
wss Dad piece OF arrangement, fear,
/ fixing the next place of meeting OF the
| Democratic State Convention at Charles
ton. Everybody knews how Charleston
takes on" about the removal; how II
holds tho Democracy outside of the Third
District to the sole responsibility for its
iaucicd dcspoilmcnt, and vows vengeance
pursuantly. Now, rs there appears 10
have been no special necessity for liking
ang place, as yet, (since the naming OF
the time-whlch is much more OF the
essence of the mattcr-was not deemed
called for Charleston's election as the seat
Of the Convention may anhapplIy be
accepted by the Charlcstonians AS an act
of magHanimIty that Is to be condemned.
! | think it has been so accepted; and IN
stead of being appcased, Charleston Is
| but the more provoked to higher ana
/ wholly disalowablc demands. Well,
there is Just one safe chart whereby the
Democracy may safely pass through the
ditlicultspolit.c cal seas OF the year before
US, and That ia fair shake to every sec
ton of the State; no pandcrns to the
/ insolcnce or rapacity of any.
What is the use of the Legislature leg
islatlng right against the clear light Of
knowledge as in the judicial vacancy
ac,. which won't hold water las the
REGISTER has shown) any more than n
sieve, or one of Sherrard's County
/ Court judgments, And then, that act
| to encourage perjury and cheat Justice
| allowing criminals to testify. Nothing
could be more clearly against the teach
inrs of reason. Though Boosting 50
much of good common sense; and
though 50 largely Democratic by
/ name) it is yet wonderful what
nm amount OF Radical Purtanism and
long haired transccndentalism has in
! fused Itself into the latter-day West Nir-
glnia Legislature.
The times are tough enough, and all
Hancock pravs that Congress will not
let the current session go by without Il
liberal appropriation for damming and
otherwise improving the upper Ohio
river Now is the right time when ma
tcri,l is cheap aud plenty 1t would
prove mighty relief and justify inter
nal improvements bythc general govern
mcnt, if they can be Justified.
The SCOT Works, rs they are called
I manufacturing carbon black, used IN
making printers ink, ETC. at the burn
ing well, New Cumberland, having sus-
pended operations for several months will
resumein few days. The works turn
out nearly 200 pounds Is barrels per day
and their sales extend 10 Europe rs well
a, to all the great cities Of this country.
