nj columns of the Commercial OF last
week, a Spread Eagle with the motto
"E Plaribu, man." which doubtless
means IN tiis case zone Of the many
organs" The Spread Eagle 3 hoisted
in honor. we suppose, of the editor Of
the Commercial having been appoint
81 Post Master of Huntington. IN
speaking of this appointment, the
Ksnawha Chronicle says.
-crant moves IN MYSTERIOUS way,
IIls oGires to resorin.
This certainly is strange appoint
ment. Mr.. VI. III. Brooks is turned
out TO make place for the editor of
the ComMarcial. Mr.. Brooks has
been all his lite a thorough and con
sistent Republican. He was appoints
cd Postmaster here when the salary
was nOt equal p theexTe1see and has
remained in the Office till the present
time. lie is thoroughly posted In
the duties Of the Office and has adj
ministered it 10 the satisfaction OF all
parties, as far a. we are intsrmed.
The only faul; that has bssn urged
against him, Is that he kept the office
on md Avenue, when seine property
holders on 3rd Avenue wanted ~
moved in their vicinity, because they
thought it would improve the value
oftheir property.
During the last Presidential Cam
paign, the editor of the Commercial
was chairman OF the Greeley Club in
this place; in handbiils over his sig
nGtare,. he sEgmatized Grants ad-
ministration, as a corrupt and ex>
travagant administration; Mr.. Brooks
at that time was the most earnest
champion that the administrator had
in ,lis place He was at all times an
earnest opponent of the Greeley men.
We had no love for him or his pO-
litical principles We simply state
the facts.
We have DO idea that there is a !
Post office in the United States
that is kept in a manner more salts
factory to the Department and the
people of the town, than the Hun
tington Office, but because the editor
ofthe Commercial has paper that
must be subsidized, Mr.. Brooks Is
turned out of the office and the editor
Of the Commercial pvt in. 1t Is not
at all pleasant to be turned ont. but
We DO not wonder a. the editor of the |
Commercial putting Spread Eagle at
the head Of his columns on being
Put in; We would too. He need not
accuse Us of envy, Jealousy, &c, for
We acknowledge the corn we
would like decidedly to have just
such an office Oursef We have Just
put this little narrative on record, to
show how Gen. Grant rewards his
enemies an3 Furnishes his friends.
The editor 81 the Commercial, and !
Postmaster of Huntington, must now
be the champion of the adIninistra-
ton he takes down. Third Term,
Civil rights, Force Bill, and all. 1t
will be his duty now, to call all who
oppose Gen. Grant, rebels, or semi
rebels. He commenced last week TO
earn his wages, by calling all Demo
crats. traitors and rebels. We do not
wish TO DO the editor of the 66mnser'
cal, injustice ; we quote his words
We'll, the editor of the ADVERTISER
knows, fsr he Is no fool. (our thanks
for the compliment wish we could
return it conscienIiously,) that the
Democratic party without slavery
and treason has no cohesive principle
to attract the prejudices of the mass
IS or the ayariciousneSs of those
that made merchandise of human
souls"
Lets see, how is it? cohesive
principles to attract" do cohesive
principles" attract? We merely ask
for information,) the prejudices,
(attract the prejulices' oh, yes, he
means the prejudices of its friends,)
"of the masses, or the avariciOuSness,

Outstanding of the matter as we 90
along, attract the avariciOusness-
cohesive principle to attract the av>
aricicuspess, that's it, now we'll go
ahead again Of those thatmade mer
chandise of human souls.
Now YOU have it. Spread Eagle |!
