Weston Democrat (who sympathizes with
the ex.Treasurer), makes the following
suggestions to those who convicted him:
ave desire to secure the services OF an
eminent cngraver, SO that for one week
at least, we may publish "picture pa

the picture Of Il goat, to DO marked "John

NAL we want to see VirtuOuS Democrats
diligently piling packages marked "Flick
Amendment" Convention" "New Con.
stitution," 1882" "Penitentiary Case"
"Dtmocrdtic Legislatures" and other sins
Of the party in power. After all the in.
EQUITIES OF the party have been laid upon
the back Of the goat, We want to place
the glorious army Of pure and uHdefled
Democrats, pushing him into the wilder
ness, which will appear in the perspec.
tive. We then want a picture Of His Ac.
cidency, the Governor, holding down a
bait marked "Ofiice," which the grand
army Of office seekers are Fastening for
ward to secure. Other pictures, OF an
equally pleasing character, will appear,
provided We can secure the services OF an
engraver."

The Re.apportionment.

From the Gnfion sentiuel.l
Notwithstanding. the supercilious atti.
tude assumed by the Weston Democrat TO-.
wards the Sentinel in its advocacy Of .
new apportionment Of legislative repre-.
sentation, we venture again to refer TO
the subject; and We preface our remarks
by the single declaration that the discour-
tesy Of the Democrat fails to convince us
that we have taken the wrong side OF the
question. @ ~
With allhis research and investigation,
our contemporary has failed TO inform
himself. We have hitherto dissented
somewhat from his opinion, but distinct
" endorsed his advocacy Of what we
really believe just measure. We did
not think it necessary to correct the
Democrats errors but we now sug-
gcst that it has overlooked several
Important facts. Taylor county is
represented in the House OF Delegates by
one delegate from her own territory, ana
in part by a district delegate, Barbour
county has the same representation;
Wood county has two delegates, and di'
vides delegate representation with
Peasants; Richie has one delegate and
shares district representation with Cal:
hOun; Harrison has two delegates, and
shares district representation with Bar
bour and Taylor. Lewis county has but
one delegate, and Is consequently not as
well provided for proportionately as
those we have named. Thatit is unjust,w we
admit; but that II is proper at this time
to re-apportion the representation we
do not admit, for the reason that, un-
der, the constitution, the matter may be
attended 10 more inielligently after the
next census shall have been taken.
We might refer to other erroneous
"points" In the D6nOTOfS argument but
we do not choose now to further discuss
the question. We submit, however, that
the Democrat should talk less Surplus"
and more facts.

MONDAY. FEB. 2, 1876.


BUSINESS SUMMARY FOR LAST WEEP
Supreme dullness and lower prices pre-
vailed, with few exceptions, in all the
markets OF the country last week. In
breadstuffs the inactivity and depression
have been the most marked Of any week
this winter, especially for wheat, which
dropped la2 cents per day with no signs
Of immediate halt. Flour sympathited
with wheat, corn remained about steady,
while oats recovered the recent decline Of
la2 cent? per buShel. Groceries have
kept company with braadstuils, coffee, tea
and sugar showing marked decli ne
which is not checked by the introduc-
ton in Congress OF Mr.. MorriSon'S new
tariff bill rcimpoSing the duty on the two
former articles, owing to the improbable
ity Of It's becoming law. Hog products
have taken firm upward course, under
au active demand both legitimate and
speculative, bacon and lard being the chief
attractions, the latter absorbing the prin-
cipaI attention ofspeculators. The money
and gold markets are without feature.
There is a growing tendency on the part
Of banks and other corporations to shy
wildcat speculation in the investment of
their surplus funds, and consequent
marked increase in the demand for gov
ernment bonds and firmly established
railroad securities. The foreign markets
arc dull as our own for breadstufEs and
the like, easy for money, and firm for
stocks and government securities. The
bank OF France gained '19,6GS,OOO frances
during the week. The bullion in the bank
Of England increased 100000, the pro-
portion Of its reserve to its liabilities has
fallen from 43s to 42s.
