AstO the opinion Of the Attorney Gen
eral on the subject, it was not given unit
after this investigation had been ordered
and commenced, and was then given upOr
the documents furnished by The Auditor
which we're taken from the statutes o
New Jersey, and since there was not q
single insurance company from that STATE
doing business in this State the authori
ties submitted to the Attorney Genera
had no bearing on the question, Mr.
Good then cited the laws Of Ohio anG
other States whose companies do business
in this State, and with reference to whom
the law Of West Virginia could only
compare, and asked why he did not refer
them to the Attorney General. 1t was
simply because it did notsuit his purpose
which was, under the opinion the law
officer Of the State obtained on false rep
resentationS, to give color Of right to hi
own acts. II the Auditor did not know
that he was acting illegally in his propo
sition to sell the use Of the State funds tC
the Merchants Bank Of Charleston, why
was he 40 secretH Why did he charge the
party to whom he made the proposition
that under no circumstances must his
name be used. Mr., Good said II there
could be a more deep dyed villain than
John s. Burdett that man was E, A, Ben
nett, Auditor.
Taking up Burdett, Mr., Good said that
bis case had been so thoroughly ventilated
that he would pass over ithastily, and the
only point he elaborated was that charg-
ing conspiracy. This he traced up in
such manner as to show concuSively
that in every instance the act OF the son
prince William) was the act Of the
father. II II was not, said ho, why has
not John s. BurdeLt instituted suits

In reply to the question prOpoundel
by Mr.. Miller as to why the Committee
had not investigated the $3s,000 matter
more thoroughly, Mr.. Good said that no

THE Governor and Council of Massa-
chusetts have determined not to com
mute the sentence Of death in the case
of Jesse Pomeroy, the boy fend. This
remarkable case of human depravity has
excited great interest. This boy has
killed and MANNED many of his compan-
ions apparently for no other motive ex-
cept the morbid pleasure of witnessing
the agony of his victims. 1t has been
argued that the nature and number of
his crimes indicate such morbid ten
dency as to show him to have been, If
not really insane, at least so destitute OF
moral sense that he could not be pun
ished without mocking the forms of jus
tice. But he must have that malicious
desire to injure others, which makes
him, in the legal sense, murderer, and
therefore he ought to undergo the pen
atty prescribed by law for that crime.
The sort of benevolence which would
prevent the execution or justice in this
case, says the Troy Times, lis morbid

safety of the community as the unre-
strained impulses of individuals like
Pomeroy. 1t is evident that he was
capable of understanding the degree of
culpability he incurred, notwithstanding
his comparative youth. He had once
been subjected to term of imprison-
ment for torturing children younger
than himself, but by an injudicious ex-
ercise of clemency he was let loose upon
the world again, having learned just
enough to know that in future he must
take care, while gratifying his evil pro
pensities, to avoid, if possible, leaving
witnesses capable of identifying him. 1t
was an exercise of reason that led him
to destroy the lives of his subse-
quent victims, and his acts themselves
are, therefore, conclusive evidences of

any class, let it be at least a better class

There is little reason to hope for any
lasting reformation in public life till
some such changes as are here professed
have taken place. The people may be
trusted to select better men for the
various offices OF government whenever
they see clearly upon what principles
their selections should be made. By
better men is meant not merely more up
right but more competent men. 1t is a
good time now when no candidates arc
before US, andsno charges of personality
can be made, to consider what sort of
candidates we shall support next year.
Every one of US has it in his power to
add little TO the true glory of the cen
tennisI by determining whether favor or
merit should rule. ...7s... -.

AUCTION EERING !!
FACTS WORTH KNOWING
TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!

Every man ought to have a business.
That business he ought to understand.
The merchant, m echanic or the farmer
may employ an assistant or q laborer,
and can readily ascertain whether he
has the rioht man in the right place. =
Auctioneerin8 is business in which
there are few engaged, consequently it
is difficult for the public to tell who Is
not proficient in the calling. The un
designed, who has been engaged in
the business for twe' ~ years offers his
services to the citizens OF Berkeley
county and those within the corporation
of Martinsburg, and claims that + g can
sell goods for those who may engage
his services, for Is to 20 per cent. better
prices thar any auctioneer engaged IN
the county. Reference can be given to
the best business men in the county and
if they do not corroborate this ASSERT On,
he does not ask to be employed. Will
attend all the courts and can be en-
ployed to sell all kinds Of property of
tered at auction. Prices moderate. -
