patriotism pat p that existed il the days oi

with one voice say to their rulers, "you
shall not increase our taxes by raising
the duties upon articles indispensable to

legislators commence ut home, cut down
their own salaries to what used to be
sufficient; and would be yet, with any

Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1875-04-17

Beecher is now going through his
great ordeal-Fullerton's cross exam
nation. He is proceeding very eau
tiously, and is not near so emphatic
in his answers as he was on his ex-
animation in chief. He qualities his
answers to many important questions
with 81 have no recollection Of such
an occurance, but it may have occur
ed" For instance, in reply to a ques-
tion by Mr.. Fullerton, he says he has
no recollection of the occurrence
stated in the evidence of Mr.. Rich
ards, Mrs. Tilton's brother, of his
(Richards) opening a door in Mr..
Tilton's house and seeing Mrs. Tilton
with flushed face, retreating from
where Mr.. Beecher was sitting, but
adds. lit may have occurred. Now
it strikes us that Mr.. Beecher ought
to have no doubts about the truth or
falsity of that part of Mr.. Richards
testimony. He was very emphatic in
his contradiction Of Mrs. Moulton
on many points of less Importance,
during his direct examination, and
we connot we'll understand how his
memory should be so at fault on this
rather important matter. If the oc-
culTance really took place, as detailed
by Mr.. Richards, who was dragged to
the witness stand under protest, it is
of a character that ought to have
made a deep and lasting impression
upon Mr.. Beecher's mind. The oc-
currance certainly was not of so tri-
vial a character, lift really took place,
as to have left him in doubt as to
whether it did or not. Mr.. Beecher
will have to be a little more explicit
and emphatic about these matters if
he desires verdict OF acquital
from an intelligent public as we'll as
the jury sitting in his case.

April 18th. 1875.
Messrs Independent Men.

a pm @ti55 icfcs
Messrs Independent Men:
Last week was one of great ex-
element in our village, over the
contest for municipal power. The
bogus temperance ticket was, on
Saturday, squarely beaten, and
with it the self-styled temperance
party, more properly clique. that
has been running the machine for
several years past, was duly num-
bered with the things that were,
and an independent temperance
board, entire, chosen in their stead.
Hcdgesville can now exclaim with
the poet: Richards himself
again.
We would be glad to give in de-
tail the many incidents of the cam
paign, and especially those trans
piring on the day of final results,
but for the want of time, can only
allude to a few.
We have often heard that birds
as well as animals possessed fore
knowledge of approaching storms,
we were therefore not surprised
when early on Saturday morning
the owl of our village, with that
keen, prognostic perception, aware
Of the coming change, fled to Mar
tinsburg, and his hootings have not
since been heard within the limits
of our town. Ofcourse his absence
from the polls was seriously felt
by the ring, but, being sensitive
bird, he couldn't remain to wit
ness the death struggles of purity;
besides the owl was dry. He saw
to his infinite modification, too,
that the chosen champions ofpur-
ity put forth no effort to make
votes. True, they had branded all
who was not with them as intem-
perate, or enemies of their chosen
hobby besought women with
tears in their eyes to influence their
husbands in behalf of all that was
good, pure and capable of manag-
ing the affairs of the village; stood
on the street corners and thanked
Him who controls the destinies of
man that they were not intemper-
ate like other men; yet it all would
not do. He saw thestorm approach
ing and the owl felt dry.
The little man who voted three
times for himself, upbraided the
others for not being like him, with
boys old enough, while the aged
Aesculapius felt chagrined that
his girls were not boys. The tam
ner was sore over the thought of
but one apprentice, and Peggy felt
chafed at not having one journey
man. OF course, the leading rag
man didn't aspire; the boss and the
little giant yielded only when the
last ballot was counted, and to see
the death-like pallor overspread
their features. But the most nota-
BILE character was the defeated as
pirant for the Mayoralty, with his
native cadaverous look, personal
ing dignity, solemnly and sadly
retired to his hole. B.
