INDEMNITY TO THE STATE OF
WEST VIRGINIA.

Hon. BEN WILSON introduced into the
House OF Representatives, on the 9Th
inst, u bill to indemnify the State OF
West Virginia for the destruction OF the
turnpike road from Fairmont to Gauley
Bridge, by the transportation over the
same of armies and army supplies by the
authorities Of the United States, during
the late war. The bill appropristes out
of the United States Treasury the hand
some sum of 100000 as indemnity, and
to enable the State to repair the road and
the bridges thereon. The bill was rcsd
twice, referred to the Commit
tee on War Claims, and
ordered to be printed. We
understand that Mr.. WILSON feels
sangui1e that he will DO able to secure
the passage of the bill by the House OF
Representatives; and that Mr.. DAVIS will
lend the measure important aid in the
Senate. We sincerely trust that these gen.
tlemen will be successful in their efforts,
and that the money will be judicously
expended by our State authorities in Civ
ing us good road through ,hc important
section of the country proposed,

ment of the National Convention-when
it shall again meet to ratify the National
Democratic platform and nominees; to
select Presidential electors, and nominate
full State ticket.
Isthis plan troublesome andexpensivef
What plan is less SO? To select the
delegates by Congressional District Con-
ventions, as has been suggested, will not
mend the matter in these regards, for, in
that case. two sets of Congressional Dis
trict Conventions would be inevitable.
Besides, that looks to us like a slip-shod
way of doing the work. Congressional
districts are not known in national
convention-only States are represented.
Congressional districts are not known In
the electoral college. States vote there as
aunt, and they should SC. vote in national
conventions. IL gives State dignity,
character and influence to vote and act,
in all important matters, as aState-pre-
senting an unbroken front and united
voice. Little West Virginia, acting as
unit, would have more power IN
national convention than the great State
of New York if the delegation of the
latter were broken into three or feur
parcels.

racy of the State, Is some action must be

DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

The Republicans of this State have
been trying to devise the most satistac.
tory mode by which they could secure a
representation from this State, in their
National Convention without being COM
PEELED to hold their nominating State
Convention at an early day, Tor the pur-
pose. At last the Mtelijgencer announces
that "it seems likely the difficulty may
be gotten over in a satisfactory way 1t
Is suggested that the Executive Com.
mittee in each county of the State shall
appoint delegates (ssy three) to meet at
some convenient point and select dele
gates to the National Convention. This
will leave the party free" says that paper,
"to hold its nominating State Convention
at q later day--say some time in July or
August next"
That may be very well; but why not
let the masses of the party in the re.
spective counties select the delegates to
this State Convention, instead OF the
Court House committees usurping the
prerogstives that do not belong t.
them2 This plan will save the people
trouble, will IT'D This is ever the argu-
ment OF the despot, the trickster, the
'ringster."
We beg to respectfully submit this
suggestion 10 the Democratic State Ex-
ecutive Committee viz: After the time
and place shall have been fixed for the
holding of the National Democratic
Convention, let call be issued by that
Committee, inviting the people of the
various counties of the State 10 meet at
their respective Court Houses, on day
suggested, there to appoint delegates 10
meet in State Convention at Charleston,
1.-THE place already selected by the Com
mittee for the purpose say, on some day
In May or June. Let tie call specify
that this Convention shall meet at this
time for the sole purpose of appointing
ten delegates-two from each Congress

cratic Convention. That when this duty
shall have been performed, the Conven-
ton shall adjourn till another day, fixed
