charges against the Auditor and Treas
urer; and because of this course he had
been bounded and villifed by anonymous
newspaper letter writers, and in selt-pro-
tection had been compelled to bring an
action of libel against one OF the offend
ing parties to scqut himself of a charge
of forging villas he would do so salts
factorily when the proper time arrived
These charges were concocted by
these same parties, and the resolution
itself was IN the hand writing of a Senator
who is a son of one of the accused. Mr..
COOP then asked the House to proceed
with the investigation, and afford him
an opportunity to face his accusers ana
prove the falsity oftheir accusations. HIS
escutcheoa was clear, and he wanted to
separate from his fellow members ana
have them to hold him in rs high esteem
as he entertained for them. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. GooD's speech, on motion
oF Mr. CAMPBELL the resolution was
rejected and ordered to be eApunged from
from the Journal, only one member vot-
ing in the negative.
We believe that the resolution WAS Ill
timed, unjust in its whole scope, and We
have no hesitation in characteriIing it
as an unwarranted attacN upon the repu-
tation and character of Mr.. Coop and a
reflection upon the people Of Ohio
county, whose representative he is. We
say it was i'll timed, from the fact that
if the charges were even true, they ought
to have been brought to the attention OF
the House at an earlier day, but as We
believe they are not true, it is an
attempt 10 blackcn the character
Of gentleman whose name has hitherto
been unSpotted, without leaving him
time o. opportunity to repel them. We
are not the apologst Of any man; our
motto is to let every tub stand upon its
own bottom; and if Mr Coop, or any
other many should be guilty of such
grave otienses as are alleged We would
say let him be punished to the fullest cN-
tent of the law
But Mr.. Coon, as he stated, was
brought up in our midst lie Is known
to our people as II young gentleman OF
bright promise and fine attachments.
our people have repeatedly given evi-
dence of their confidence in both his
ability and integrity. His good name and
bright fame are not to be trihcd with IN
alight manner, aud we do regard this co.
vert attack upon him as unjustifabie,
and must approve the action of the House
in disposing of it in 50 summary man
uer. 1t is peculiarly unfortunate that it
should have come from the direction 1t
did, as it will not serve to mitigate the
charges preferred against others, and will
in nowise reach the merits of other cases.
If the charges should even prove true, it
will not effect other causes; therefore it
was most injudicious.

Editors OF the Register.


About 10 o'clock P. NJ. Sunday, while
Captain Bridges was occupying his office
at the West Virginia Penetentiary, he
was startled by the precipitation OF
mass of burning boards from the floor
overhead. As soon MS possible the alarm
of fire was given and by the prompt
aid of the employees of the prison and as
sembled citizens, the fire Was soon extin-
guished. TIE fire originated from II
CRATE in the room above his on the fourth
story, which had been usel on Saturday
for drying the pastering. But little
more OF the floor was burnt than that
sufficient to leave the upper hearth fall
through into the Captains room. a de-
tail has been arranged for night watch
so that like accident will hardly Occur
again.
Last week the digging for the founda-
tion of our Agricultural Works was COM
menced but the cold weather Of the past
few days has delayed the work. The
building is to be in length, lij feet, in
width, 4j. The present superintendent
is Mr.. Whipple.

however mention that the Presby

will be regaled with their
customary treat during the day, and in
the evening the center of attraction for
the NJ +. Sabbath school Will be II Christ
mas tree, on which may be placed gifts
for scholars only. Persons unconn"ctcd
with the school will be charged an adnis.
