"PORTE. CRAYON.n

Porte Crayon" is looming up in
a different character than that of the
famous and popular correspondent
of Harper's Magazine. When we say
"Porte Crayon" all our people know
we mean General d. III. Strother and
it will be interesting news to our
people to know that the republican
delegates of Morgan county will pre-
sent his name to the convention on
Friday next, as suitable person for
Senator from this district. General
Strother is the peer of any man in the
State in point of ability and educa-
ton, and if he should accept the
nomination it will be up hill work
for any opponent to defeat him.

VERMONT.

The election in Vermont Tuesday
resulted in an overwhelming MAORI
ty for the Republicans, the returns
indicating perhaps larger majority
than was ever given in that State be-
fore. The canvass in Vermont was
carried on by the republicans with
vim and determination, not to save
the State, because they knew it was
safe to the republicans, but to in
crease their majority for the purpose
of showing that no reaction had set
in against their party. Maine will
vote on Monday, and if they meet
with like success in that State, it
will no doubt serve to bolster up the
weakened in the party.

One very funny thing that occur
red soon after we went on board
the Constitution, was one of my
class, whose idea of a captain of a
man-of-war, / suppose, consisted
in stiff tarpaulin hat,a blue shirt
cut low in the neck, with large
flowing neck handkerchief, and a
pair of troWsers cut very tight at
the hips and very loose around the
feet, which idea was fully carried
out in one of the old sailors, who
was acting as quartermaster of the
watch, so up to him this future adj
miral walked, and taking off his
hat respectfully inquii ed :-"are
you the captain of this ship, sir ?"
That story is told of that fellow to
this day, although it happened
over eight years ago, and he has

years. c.. III. l..

STEP UP AND ANSWER.

In another column we publish a
number of questions respectfully
submitted, for answer, to the sew
eral candidates for the legislature in
this county. 1t may not be out of
place to say that the questions are
submitted by the most substantial
citizens and taxpayers in the coun-
ty. The candidates are requested to
answer within two weeks through
the public press. We think that the
gentlemen propounding the question
omitted most important one-as
to whether the candidates are in fa-
yor of doing away with the expensive
county court system. The abolition
of that old fogy institution would
alone save the Taxpayers of the coun-
ty hundreds of dollars.

councilmen in all the wards. The

for the repu' ican ticket, the demo-

Respectfully to the Candi-
dates i'm Berkeley County
Nominated for the Legisla-
tUre Of West Virginia.

We are, and have been, suffer-
ing to an extent that has become
almost intolerable by bad legisla-
ton and ever increasing taxation,
directly and indirectly, that we
find it absolutely necessary, for
self preservation, to examine for
oul selves aud ascertain where the
money goes, and foe what purpose
it is used. We saw several articles
in the INDEPEN DENT lately asking
for information on that very ques-
ton, which h rot been satisfac-
torily answered. Such indifference
to the public wish OILY serves to
awaken an interest in the finances
o the county. People do not like
to pay money without knowing
where it goes.
Now that we are about to elect
NJ to fill the various offices, we
wish y know how they stand in
ro4el nee to such questions as we
believe we have a right to ask.
Any candidate refusing to answer
through the press within two
weeks, we will take it for granted
they will not advocate the inter-
est of the people. Many of the
citizens of this county have deter
mined to think for themselves
and act accordingly without fear
of the party lash. We therefore
ask aprompt answer to the follow
ing questions
lst Are you in favor of the pres
emf ilroad management in this
State,and are you in favor of the
determinations that now exist?If
not, what modification will you
propose and advocate
I'd. Are you in favor of taxing
the property of railroads and 9TH
er corporations as all other prop
erty of the State is taxed and en-
axcting a law enforcing the collec-
ton of the same
Sd. Will you accept a free pass
or consideration of any kind from
railroad companies, and also take
mileage from the State in addi-
ton?
4th. Are you in favor of COM
polling railroads to fence their
roads as individuals are required
to fence their property, or compel
them to pay for all property killed
injured or destroyed by them and
will you advocate it by the adop-
ton of a law to enforce it.
9TH. Will you advocate the pass
age of a law requiring members of
the Legislature and all State Of
| fees, on oath. to refuse to receive
mileage in every instance when
they hold a free pass from any
railroad.
9Th. Will you vote to reduce the
fees of sherlffs, clerks, and other
| officers,so as to reduce the.eXpense
obligation.
18th. Are you in a condition to
legislate impartially, or in other
words, are you obligated pecu-
niarily or otherwise to monopo-
lies, railroad companies, or to in
dividuals which might influence
your Independent action upon any
question which may arise during
your term of Office.
