Making any Change in their LOea-

WHEELING, June II, 1876.
Editors of the Register:
As an effort is on foot to have re-
moved, outside of the city limits, the
present stock-yards on Market Square, |
would offer the following reasons that it
were better to endure the slight annoy
auce to the sensitive nostrils of few
malcontents, and retain the yards, than
have them removed.
F'irst-lt is claimed by those who pro
ie,s to know that over $4,000 week
change hands between the butchers and
packers on the one hand, and drovers
and farmers on the other.
Second-That large per centage of
the money thus received by the drovcrs
and farmers are lett with our merchants
and manufacturers in return for grocer
les, clothing, agricultural implements,
stoves and other articles necessary to the
countryman and stock dealer.
Thirdly offering the greatest
facilities possible to inducing deal
ers TO bring their stock INTO the city,
and placing Il convenient mart al their
disposal for the transaction of business
| our ClllLfIS, " NJ al' Sllt NphNhllitis. S'b
cheaper and better article, our market
is always well supplied and the whole
community reaps an inestimable benefit
! theretrom.
These are several of the advantages
! gained by offering all the conveniences,
within the limits of sense and justice To
this class of trade, If on the other hand
all sorts of restrictions are thrown around
II, for the sake, as it is claimed, of PIES.
erving the health of the city, bat
in reality to prevent the annoyance to
the people living IN the immediate vi
cinity occasioned by the perfume which
naturally arises from cattle pens.
Our city is not yet so large AS to justify
the measure sought. The disadvantages
arising from such change would by
far outweigh the advantages. 1t would
be better to make haste slowly in this IN
stance, and the Health Officer could see
that the yards are kept scruppuously
clean.

FIFTH BALLOT.
Governor Hayes had been gaining q
few votes here and there al, along, but
the Hayes ball was fairly put in motion
on this ballot by the Michigan delega
ton. When that delegation was reached,
the venerable Governor Howard raised
himself up on his crutches and said !;
"Mr. President, there is man in this
section Of the country who has beaten
in succe sion three Democratic candi-
dates for President in his own State, and
we want to give HIM chance tc beat
another Democratic candidate tor the
Presidency in the broader fields OF the
United States. Michigan, therefore, casts
her twenty seven votes for Rutherford
Hayes, of Ohio"
The effect of the announcement was
electrical. Delegates all over the hall
sprang to their feet and cheered, and
swung their hats, and the people in the
galleries seemed to grow wild in their
enthusiasm. 1t was fully minute be
tore the vast asscmblagc could be quiet
ed. and when it did subslde it was with
all confidence in Hayes rs the coming
man. The fifth ballot stood:
Total number of votes cast, 1855; neces-

egates. 1t was the result of forty hours
struggle to concentrate the strength OF
the Grant wing of the Radical prrty on
one man against the Blaine wing.
AT the last hour the great retormer,
Brstow, capitulated to Cameron and
Grant, and allowed the majority OF his
forces to go for their man. Of course,
between Grantism and Blaineism 1t was
difficult to choose, and the choice was
probably made hap-hazard. In this

THE Amermican people are about as
nearly in earnest in this presidential con-
test a they ever were in their lives.
Politicians may try to fix things as they
plcase. but the masses have evidently
concluded 10 see about it themselves, and
don't intend to let "the other fellows ar
range matters for them. They want II
President who will sacrifice every pre-
iudice and passion, every selfish and par
tisan object, to the general interests OF
the country; who Will rely upon the de-
votion of the people to their rights and
liberties, and who Will heed their wishes
and seek to advance their interests, in
stead of endeavoring to force them into
compliance with ever-varying schemes
of policy; who will, with unity and
prosperity at home, restore and reassert
our power and influence abroad, and
make the shadow of the American flag
once more the defense, on land and sea,
OF all who repose beneath It, 1t is clear
that Cincinnati is not up to the require
mrnts of the times, and now the honest
masses are saying to St. Louis, "What
are yoil going to do about it?" The wise
men of the party will answer the ques-
tion wisely-s good sound ticket, on n
good sound platform, and then in No
vember next there will be about rs much
left of the Radical army rs there was Of
the Six Hundred at Bslaklsvs when
the famous charge was over.

F0RTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
WAsHINGoN, June II.
SEN ATE.

The consideration of the articles OF
impeachment against the late Secretary
of War was resumed soon after noon 10
day. Judge Black, of counsel for the
accused, stated that there were reasons
why the trial could not 60 on on the 9th
of July, as ordered. He therefore moved
that it be postponed until the middle OF
November next, and appealed to the
managers not to oppose the motion. de
stated that the managers understood the
reasons for not going on with the trial,
and he hoped they would agree to the
postponement. Mr.. Lord, on behalf OF
the managers, asked leave to consult
with the House of Representatives,, which
was granted, and the Senate as court OF
impeachment adjourned.
The protest of leading men OF the
Usage Indian nation against the estab-
lishment of the Territorial Government
for the Indian country, was ordered
printed and referred.
a message was received from the Pres
ldent calling attention TO the near ap-
proach OF the new fiscal year, and the
failure of Congress so far TO make pro-
visions for ordinary expenses OF the
Government; also to laws frrbldding
the expenditure OF unexpended balances,
and requiring that they be covered into
the Treasury at the end OF the fiscal
vesr. He further states that if the ap-
preparation bills are not matured before
the beginning of the new fiscal year
the Government will be greatly en-
barrassed for the want of funds, and
submits a joint resolution to extend sp-
proprlations for consuls and diplomatic
and postal services for the support
of the army and navy for the
present fiscal year to the next. Ordered
printed and laid on the table.
Mr. Window moved to take up the In

SIXTH BALLOT.

The Convention was now settling
down to its work in dead earnest, and it
was apparent that nomination was not
far distant. The Blaine men began to
show their teeth in the various delegs-
tions, and the bound he made up to 3OS
votes seemed to Indicate that he had a
sure thing on the nomination on the next
ballot. His opponents became dimly
aware that the time had arrived for them
TO do away with the lavorite son business
and all other sorts OF nonsense, and go
to work on some combination to beat him
at once. Amid considerable confusion,
the sixth ballot was taken with the fol-
lowing result: Total number OF votes
cast 75i; necessary tC choice 37S.

IN the Greenbrier Independent.

From the Greenbrler independent
The Democratic party of West Nir-
glnia is composed of those who were
Union men and those who were Con-
federates-old line Wings and old line
Democrats-those who, whatever their
party affiliations may have been before
and during the war, now desire good,
economical government. In the cam
paiyn of 1872 there We're some dlsailccted
Democrats, who have since returned 10
the party, and are now among the most
earnest and Jealous in advancing its
interests.
The Convention, IN selecting ticket,
recognized such elements of the party,
and every section of the State. Our
ticket contains the names Of Union men
and ex-ConfeiersteS Candidates for
two of the most important offices are
taken from the Third District, and three
from each of the other Districts. This Is
as fair Distribution as could have been
made.
The best feeling now prevails through
ont the party, and we have every reason
tn beliye that we vii! carry the State by
u larger majority than ever before. StIli,
no effort should be omitted TO make as
sursnce doubly sure. A signal triumph
is necessary to demonstrate the extent to
which our people are aroused to the I'M.
portance of preserving the ascendency OF
our party, and for the moral effect IN
other States.
We have good State Executive Com
mittee, and we hope that they will meet,
without delay. and effect thorough and
complete organization of the party. 1t
is the duty of the Committee to plan and
direct the canvass.
We look forward to manifestations OF
unusual interest in politics as soon as the
st. Louis Convention names the stand
ard bearer of the National Democracy.

The Charleston Courier thus refers to
the Democratic nominees for the
SUPREME COURT.

On the Supreme Bench, we have
Judge Raymond, whose nomination was
demanded alike by his eminent qualiti-
cations Tor the place and his faithful ser
vices during the past four years; Hon.
Okey johnson, whose fine talents and
undoubted worth had been too long
denied recognition by the Democ.
racy, and to whose nomination we
are glad TO know, kanawha votes and
Kanawha influences contributed N no
small degree; and last We have JUDGE
Green, of jefferson. So far as we know.
that is no reason why Judge Green
should not be supported by the unani.
