By WHISKY IN THE WEST Va, LEG
1sLATrGL.-Among the proceedings of
the Legislature, we find that in the
House Mr.. Spencer offered the following
resolution -
That the use Of ardent spirits by any
of the members of this House at any
time, is greatly to be deplored; but that
tho use of intoxicating liquors in the
Hall of this House or in the committee
rooms; the display of bottles containing
such liquors, the act of publicly drink
ing such liquors, is not only unbee ON
ing the dignity Of this House, but
actually insulting to ils members, and
persons hereafter offending in such par
iicnlars should be deemed guilty of con-
tempt.
TO the immediate consideration OF
which Mr.. McEldowney objected and
it lies over under the rules.

Fy- 1t was with profound mortifica-
ton that we read the article which is
Inserted upon the first page of this is
sue. Being from Democratic cores
pondeht TO q Democratic newspaper,
(the Wheeling Register it can hardly
be an etfusion of political hostility. For
the honor of the county we trust it is
not true. Ii not, Mr.. Mason owes it to
himself and to those whom he repre-
SCENTS, to prove it untrue, and We offer
him the use of our paper for the purpose.
1t is too serious matter to pass with
out notice. But if it-5e- true it is at
least due to the people of the county
that they should know it. And we
here take the opportunity for saying
with no special referenceto the present
case, that if the people do not choose
Temperance" to represent them, they
must either send temperate men or
suffer the consequences. Things will
hardly be better until the people have
sufficient concern for their own interests
TO disregard the nominations OF self
constituted caucusea.

across the road appeared very strange
spectre. Strange sight in this peaceable
community-a U. S. banner. Yes, the
glorious old stars and stripes may look
very beautiful to patriotic citizen. but
our travellers patriotism seems to have
been ut low ebb about this time, and
he did not relish the idea of seeing the
banner of his country at such an unsea-
sonable hour, and supported by an in
visible hand. The consequence was he
was little, just little, confused.
However, he made the best of his wsy
back home, and the next morning some
neighbors went to look for the. flag At

An ARMY PArMAsTEn SENT TO THE
PENrrENr1ARY-Conjugat Inftiici'y and
Desperaiion.- The New York papers
of Friday published the particulars of
the sad case of Major Virgil S. Eggles-
ton, who was lodged in the Albany
penitentiary on Wednesday last. Born
of wealthy parents, in Palmyra, New
York, he received good education, and
possessing influential friends, secured a
position in the paymaster-generals de-
partment of the army. Whilst residing
in Washington he became acquainted
with beautiful girl, the daughter OF
Vice-President Wilson's landlady, with
whom he eloped. They were married
and returned to the maternal domicil
and Mr.. Wilson succeeded in procur-
ing for young Eggleston the position
of pay,uaster, with the rank of major.
He was sent to Oregon about the close
of Johnsons administration, taken
with him his young wife, q giddy,
tboughtless creature. The fact that Egg
gleston was appointed from civil life
caused him to be regarded with jeal-
ousy by his fellow officers, but he &C
ted with conspicuous bravery in the
Modoc war, and bis heroism gained
him favor with his fellow-officers.
Upon returning from the Modoc
campaign Eggleston discovered that
his wife had proved faithless to him,
and fo- the first time in his life he be-
came reckless and engaged ia a life of
wild disorder and dissipation. TIE
more he tried to do for her the worse
she grew. Debts multiplied. and sorrow
filed his cup to OVERLOOKING At last
he began to use the public money to
meet bis own and wife's extravag ances.
The sum of $4,000 had been embez-
lied and squandered, when he was ar
rested, tried by court martial, and SEN
fenced to be cashiered and imprisoned
in the Albany penitentiary for the Pc
Rod of FIVE years, and to remain in con-
finement until the amount of money
embezzled was restored to the govern
ment, which practically amounted to a
life sentence. President Grant approved
the proceedings Of the court, but, with
a generous Endorsement regarding Egg
gleston's bravery in the Modoc war,
fixed the limit of the imprisonment at
ten years.
