THE CHARLESTON NOMINEES.

10 party WHdI was nieaiiI III hi"""H"'
THE CHARLESTON NOMINEES.
The democracy has selected candi-
dates for the different State offices. A
part of the ticket is unexceptionable and
deserves the hearty support of every
citizen. Judge Raymond for the Su-
preme Court and Mr.. Pendleton for the
Free Schools, are gentlemen of reputa-
ton, splendid ability and tried integri-
ty; they have carved out fer themselves
records to which strangers are referred
and which stand as security for their
future conduct. Judge Green is well
known in this county as very able
lawyer Mr.. Mathews did not do him
self much credit as Attorney General,
but he is well endorsed at home and is
a man of average capacity. The new
treasurer, Mr.. West, is farmer of ordl-
nary ability, but has no record either
good or bad, except his vote against
the Impeachment of Burdett and Ben
nett, and we doubt the expediency OF
making a point against him on this ac-
count, because with one or two excep-
tons, all our prominent democratic pol
iticians, backed by their party organs
tried to break down the measure in the
House of Delegates and the Convention
crucifed those who were prominent in
the prosecution. MIR. White, the At
torney General, has been counsel OF the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad for many
Years, but otherwise has never cut any
figure either in his profession or in pol
itics. In regard to Okey Johnson, he
is high toned christian gentleman, but
we do not know enough of his profess
sional attainmeuts either to endorse or
reprehend his nomination. Miller, the
candidate for Auditor, writes an excel
lent hand, is remarkable ter his person
al pulchrituds and atfable manners.
Indeed upon the whole We hesitate
to pass judgment on the ticket-it
might have been infinitely better and it
might have been infinitely worse. If
the Republicans nominate strictly first
class men, the party whip of our demo
cratic brethren must be applied pretty
vigorously to keep the rank and :ile in
line We shall wait and see what
manner of men the Republicans offer
to the independent voters of the State.

COLONEL HARTMAN INTERVIEWED.
The Gazette's representatives also had
brief conversation with Colonel Harmon,
who was in his usually happy frame OF
mind. He was quite enthusiastic over the
result, and with his usual demonstrative
manner slapped the Gazette man on the
back, cxclaiming nj the same time: "Well,
Sir, we have consummated the lease"
"To what, Colonel, do you attribute
your SUGGEST"
"Well, Sir, we attribute 1t to hard work
and continuous efforts. The Gazette has
given us valuable assistance, which the
people Of the valley will not fail to APP
preciate.
"Did you have any doubts ofultimate
success In leasing the road?"
'sFor myself had none. The case was
so clear that it has been evident to me
that all it required was an energetic effort
which we of the valley have given ii. i
want YOU to say i'm the Gazette, that the
delay in effecting this lease, all along,
has been altogether unnecessary. The
security offered by Mr.. Mines was ample
when he made his first proposition aid
should have been accepted at once. Why
Sir, he (Mr. Milnes) offered to put up $40, :
600 of his private fortune rs forfeit in
the event Of his security not being APP
proved"
'The Gazette, Colonel, has told the
story, believe, fully"
"Yes, Sir; and told it accurately and
placed the people Of the valley under a
debt of obligations for its expressions.

MOBILE, September t23.-The publishers
OF the Mobile Register denoiince as forgery
what purports to be an extract from that
journal, now being quoted, as the views OF
John Forsythe, Of the Register. The
forgery reads as follows: +
"The grave question to be settled at
much cost is, What is to be done to get rid
OF the negro as a voter? Sooner or later,
with more or less dispatch, he Will be dis
franchised and thrust out of politics. w bite
men OF all parties and Of every grade OF re-
,ligious or moral conviction may as well
come quickly to the consideration Of how to
get the negro out of politics with the least
confusion and cost. He must go ;sandthere
is no profit in standing long upon the order
Of his going. The question OF suffrage be-
longs to the States respectively. When the
recognized Democracy OF 1876 go into Of
fee each State will be allowed to settle this
and all other social and domestic issues for
itself and in its own way without any in
terfercnce from the General Government.
i No such article ever appeared m the
Register. On the contrary, the Register
advocated and aided in securing the ratitica-
ton OF the existing Constitution framed and
adopted by Democrats, in which the follow
ing article is incorporated as organic law
"No educational or property qualification
for suffrage or Office, nor any restraint upon
the same, on account Of race, color, or pre-.
vious condition of servitude shall be made

Mr.. BuRDETr's DisApPEARANcE.- - Wash
ingt0n, September 22.-Friends OF Mr.. Bur-
dett, late Commissioner OF the General Land
Office, have made careful inquiry, but have
not been able to learn anything concerning
hlm since the 18th OF May last, when he
forwarded his resignation as Commissioner
from New York. :Neitherhis most intimate
friends nor the Department has the least
confidence in the recently -pnblish story
that he met violent death in New York
through the agency OF ;;so-called Ohio
thugs" and they deny the truth
Of the story in all; its partfcu-
lars. The Department and mem
bers OF Mr.. Burdett's family have satisfied
themselves that when he left W ashington
he had on his person about 81 800 belong
lns to himself, but no valuable papers, and
they further say he was not concerned in
land speculations in any way, and that his
records and accounts in the department
are correct in every particular. Near rela-.
ives who visited New York on the 18th OF
May, remaining there until the I'd Of June,
are satisfied that neither OF the dead bodies
reported to be that OF Dir. Burdett was his,
