THE STAMP on BASS CHEcEs.-A.
circular has been issued by son.e OF
the banks of Baltimore, New York
and Philadelphia urging on the other
banks to secure signatures to a petit
tion to be presented to Congress, with
a view to securing the repeal of the
law requiring the affixing of a two
cent stamp on checks. The circular
says that the stamp has been "a con-
tinual cause Of annoyance and mis-
understandings" that it is objection
able in the consequent Surveillance
over the private transactions OF de
positors, and in the onerops and
humiliating costs liable to fall upon
the banking institutions, notwith-
standing all ordinary precautions on
( the part Of their officers that
the true interest of our government
and of our people is that this tax
should be promptly repealed" that
'the time has come for this action"
and shat it only needs a proper and
persistent representation Of the case
to The administration and Congress
to remedy what may otherwise yet
linger for years to come" a special
agent has been selected by the banks
to bring the matter before Congress
as soon as sufficient number Of sig
natures shall be obtained.

The Washington and Ohio Rail.
Road.

We find the following in relation
to the Washington and Ohio Rail
Road in the Baltimore Sun:
The Washington and Ohio Rail-
road, which has been making some
progress for several years, will, it is
hoped, be yet pushed forward to COM
pletion to the Ohio river. It's known
to have been lingering along under
its present management for some
! years, whose efforts have not been
successful in obtaining sufficient
| funds for its completion. The recent
development, however, Of the vast re-
sources OF West Virginia, in her i'm
mensc beds of superior iron ores, coal
and timber, has attracted such gen.
eral attention among the capitalists
Of the States Of Pennsylvania, New
York, and other sections of the coun-
try, who are interested in the coal
and iron business, and carrying trade,
as to induce a thorough examination
Of the State by the most experienced
engineers and experts to ascertain
with certainty the character of the
coal, ores, timber, &C., its quantity
and the general topography of the
country in which it is found. Dur
ing the past summer there has been
4 great number of gentlemen from
the Eastern States making tours of
inspection with these objectsin view,
and the result has been that Mr..
Thomas A. Scott, the President Of
the Pennsylvania railroad, has issu-
ed a cal! and invited conference
with such gentlemen as will meet
him for the purpose of mutual action
in view of bringing the above re-
sources into practical development
by furnishing the country through
which they are found with railroad
facilities. This will be doubtless ac-
complishcd by a speedy extension Of
the Washington and Ohio railroad,
which is now nearly up to the Blue
Ridge.

4 PoIxr OF INTERSTATE Lam
Messrs. Deck & Rodgers, citizens of
West Virginia, obtained 4 Judgment
against G. B. Giles, who has been d
citizen of that State. Deck & Rog-
ers assigned the claim to Devries &
Co. who sued out an attachment and
laid it in the hands of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company to affect
wages earned by Giles as an employe
in West Virginia. The magistrate
sustained the attachment, and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COM
pany took an appeal. Mr.. Giles
claimed that his wages were, under
the law of West Virginia, exempt to
the amount of 5000. Judge Brown
held that Devries & Company had
the right to sue in their own name,
although they took the assignment
as collateral; that both Giles and
Deck & Rogers, beingcitizens of West
Virginia, Giles was entitled to $500
exemption, as allowed by the laws of
that State; and that the exemption
was equally valid against Deck 4
Rogers and against W. Devries 4

The evidence lately produced in
the st. Louis whisky cases has afford
ed legal proof of what everybody fam
liar with the wayso fWashingten al
ready believed, namely that Gen. Or
vile E. Babcock, the confidential
friend and Illegal private secetaryof
President Grant, was one of the main
stays of the St. Louis Whisky Ring.
In that city, more than in any other
place where illicit distilling was car
RED on, the public plunderers, official
aud otherwise, exhibited degree of
boldness in their operations which
has never been paralleled except In
the single instance of the District of
Columbia frauds. But there was
only one man in the United States
who had the power to shield them,
and that was Ulysses S. Grant; and
it is matter OF public record that
until very recently, when he discov-
cred that he must either desert his
friends or possibly share their pun
ishment, he has not failed in any
important case to respond to their
demands.

The activity in the Navy Yards
still continues, but so far the people
are not able 70 understand the neces;
sity for it. A Washington special
says that it is understood s.has the
Government has determined to as
patch war vessel to the Liberian
coast. The contest which has been
going on between the aborigines and
the Liberian Republic is likely to end
in the destruction OF the latter unless
the United States interferes. The
English Government issaid to be in
active sympathy with the savases.-
But then it would not seem to be
necessary to put ten additional mont
tors into commission for the purpose
of sending one of the national wash
tubs to Africa. We are inclined to
think that this naval activity is a
flank movement to prevents reduct-
ion of the army, by getting up the
impression that a war is Imminent.
But when the fiddler comes to be paid
Congress will have 4 word or two to
say.

Dox'r Do IRA resolution has
been introduced into our State Sen
ate authorizing the Auditor to pay
the expenses incurred in the pursuit
and capture ofthe Huntington bank
robbers. This would be a very un-
safe precedent to establish and a most
unjust one, unless the Legislature
proposes to pay the expenses OF every
man who persues a horse thief or the
burglar that breaks into his house or
store. Indeed there would be more
propriety in the latter, as banks are
presumed to take more precautions
to make their places safe than other
people and.ifthey do not, we do not
see the justice of making the people
pay for it. Again We say to the Leg
islature, don't do it!-Inder.

the confidence of the party every
where, and who has the capacity to
command and to muster andmarshal
all the troops AZ his disposal.
The Detroit Free Pres thinks it
worth nothing, in connection with
the whiskey ring developments, that
every scoundrel unearthed thus far
has been loyal administrations.
Everywhere that disclosures have
been made, in St. Louis, Milwaukee
and Evansville, the story is the same;
close communion is the rule of the
ring, and none but Republicans Of
the blue blood have been admitted.
They say that "a Wisconsin wo-
man has dreamed for six successive
nights that President Grant was eat
en- up by a bear" Ii this dream were
to @come true" We should like to
own that bear. He would be 4 bo-
nanza to any showman-so many
people would be glad to pay six bits
to 60 in an thank him for putting a
stop to all this talk about a third
term.
Weshall soon have thirty-one Uni.
ted States Senators and the Republi.
cans forty. If the Democrats behave
themseles as they should from this
time until after the Presidential cleo
ton, the boot may be on the other leg
in 1877, and the majority be with the
Democracy. There's nothing Of which
to complain in the situation as We
now find it; but a Democratic major,
ity in the Senate would be a big
thing, especially for party that has
died and been buried so frequently,
and over whose remains our kind Re
publican friends have chanted so
many mournful dirges.
There is no use in attempting to
disguise the matter the prosecutors Of
the St. Louis whiskey ringare bring
ing the most stupendous frauds up
on the revenue veryclosc to the White
House. President Grants private
Secretary, Gen, Babcock, is seriously
involved by kilograms to and from a
member of the ring who was convict
ed and is now serving 4 sentence in
the Missouri penitentiary. Grant
SAYS 'slet not one guilty person
escape" 1t looks very much as If
Babcock at least is likely to be one of
those very persons.

The g1onrrnnent at Point Pleas
SAINT, Commemorative OF those
who fell In the Battle mt this
place, October 10th, 1ss4.
In the Legislative proceedings we
find the following which was offered
BY Senator Eastman:
Senate Joint Resolution No. 25,
aTo provide for the erection Of 4 mon
ument near the junction Of the Ohio
and Kanawha rivers, at Point Pleas
ant, in Mason county, to commemo-
rate the battle of Point Pleasant,
fought October 10, IVA"
WHEREAS, The battle of Point Plea
SAINT, fought on the tenth day of octo-
Der, 1174, was an event of deep and
an enduring interest, exhibiting in
remarkable degree, the courage and
patriotism of the carly settlers of our

Of the highest importance to the peace
and prosperity Of the American peo-
pie; and
WHEREAS 1t is proper that an
event SO distinguished in our history
should be commemorated by monu-
ment, to be erected upon the spot
where those gallant defenders sacrif-
ced their lives, and where their sa-
cred remains now lie buried; and
WHEREAS, In addition to a fair and
neutrality-suspicious. that may be
expected from the Congress of the
United States in aid of this national
and patriotic object, there are con-
siderations of an especial character
which commend this work to the fa-
vorable patronage of Virginia, West
Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky.
Resoired BY the Legislature Of Wet

determine to cooperate with this
State in erecting said monument by

The story of the late Vice Presi:
dents Early life has in it moral
that Is invaluable to the youth Of
America. The publication of it lar
and wide carrot fail to make most
salutary impression on the minds Of
the rising generation. Here is the
story of his carly years as told by
himself two years ago:
Il WIS born" he said, an 1912, and
at the age of ten years was put out
as an apprentice to 4 farmer. From
the day Of my birth to the day / was
q years old / never had a dollar in
money to spend for anything. Dur
ing the whole of my apprenticeship
my master never but once gave me a
penny. On that occasion he allowed
me q holiday, with permission to at
tend muster seven miles from home,
and gave me three cents to spend
l walked to and from the muster, and
of.course spent no more than that
sum.
"on the day l was 81 years DID,
I remember it very well, one Satur-
day, the 18th of February,-in the
afternoon my master gave me yoke
of oxen and six sheep. The latter !
sold the same afternoon for So, but,
not being able to dispose of the oxen
that day, | requested nv master to
keep them for me until Monday
morning, which he did, but charged
me 80 cents for It. paid him this
and took the oxena away. Isold them
to man for SIS, and took his note
for the amount. So when | became
of age had for eleven years work
q was sent to school only four weeks
each YEAR, $S4. / had saved57 cents,
which had in some way obtained,
but | had paid so of this to my mas
ter for keeping my oxen two nights.
| then hired myselfto farmer, agree
ing to work for six dollars q month
and board.
! used to get up long before day
light, feed my stock, get my break
fast, and just as the east was begin
ming to be streaked with red start off
for the woods with my team. | used
to place my dinner-pail on the sun
ny side Of tree. and continue draw
ing saw-logs to the mill until after
dark at night. Then ! went home,
fed the stock, ate my supper, and
went to bed. My father tended the
saw mill most Of the time for many |
years for fifty cents day.
in the spring of the same year, |
took my pack upon my back and
started afoot for the toxin where l
now live, Natick, Massachusetts,, one
hundred miles away, and that jour
ney cost me 81 Is. worked there
at shoemaking, averaging fifteen
hours a day, and the last weeks work
l did at the bench was at bottoming
shoes for So a week. Out of this |
paid 50 for pegs and % for board, so
that l had left Just 81 So l have
bottomcd iifty-four pairs Of mems
shoes without sleeping, and that for
a little more than 50cents. Butte
at this rate l got some money ahead,
and made up my mind to work my
through college.
