CoShen.-No. 226.

Our sleighing has been perfect, but it is going off.
 It was a very fine arrangement to have all the names of the Delegates sent on and printed, so the roll could be made out at the preliminary meeting, then there was nothing to do'but to attend to the busi- ness when the Convention assembled. Twenty-one of us had no opportunity to vote for State Officers, as they were mo- minated while we were engaged in the difficult and important duty of preparing Resolutions to be presented to the Con- vention. It was rather an exciting time when the great assembly divided into four parts to nominate delegates to re- present the four Congressional Districts in the National Convention, and you would have pleased to be present at the County meeting.
 Since our small Oontennlal on East St., many letters have come. relating to the former inhabitants of Goshen. Mir. Israel Coe of Bloomfield. N. J. formerly one of the active business men of Wolcottville, writes that he has seen in the papers an account of the celebration, and that it brings to his mind many "reminiscences of Goshen, his native town: "I cas rememb. CT when Goshen was at its zenith. North Goshen, my birth place, was in a like con- dition with the Center. Twas born on the ground where Obed NJ. Humphrey built a house, and I am 81 years of age. | have sister older, and a sister and brother younger than myself. We are the oldest of 10 children, and our aver age age is SO." The says he enjoys most excellent health and spirits, and expects soon to pass over the great River, but he trusts in the Redeemer.
 Judge Noah Humphrey Osborne writes from his home in McGrawville. Courtland Co.,, N, Y. He is a native of Pennington in our-State. but formerly lived in Cos hen. He sends me piece of a pine shingle from the roof of the meeting house in Pennington which was blown off at the Centennial in 1873. At that time the roof was 102 years old, and in good state of preservation. He says, s'I have read the account of your highly interest ing meeting on the occasion of the Tooth anniversary of the marching of that noble band of Goshen Patriots, to meet the en- snies of their country" &c. "I also saw an account of the e1huming the foet oi the Old Liberty Pole of the Revolution, and would be much pleased if you could send me very small piece of it," ''l think the John Beach house was the first one built in East St. and that Gideon Thompson lived where Nancy Thompson did 60 years ago." The house was burnt, across the road from Darius Thompson's present house.
 ''The mention of Benjamin Oviati brings to mind the early sufferings by his wife Lizzy and her sister Sarah Carter (who were both captives among the In dlans) and how the cruel treatment oi Sarah affected her mind so much that she spent her life in gloomy. sad state.r

The Mutual Life Insurance Co.,. O,
 New York.

From the annual report of this great Institution for 1875. just placed on file at Hartford, we gather the following statis- tics.
 Cash Assets, Dec S1, 1875, SIS ,ss0, ,194 Fl Death and endowment claims in 1875, 4SSs, ,08S 28 Dividends policy holders in 1875, 3539 66S 67 Premium Income in 1875, 15,73l .910 49 Interest ard rents received in 1875, 4,66s 99S ls
 The above figures represent a business which is simply incomprehensible to the ordinary mind; but which has all been built up in the United States in the last thirty-three years.
 The Mutual Life, Is the largest and most wealthy life insurance company in the world, and it's policies are held by all classes, as the safest and best of invest ments. Policies over 20 years old have doubled in value by the addition of divi- dends, and after that, have required no further payments. No other company. in the world has ever given it's members like results.
 Mir. Eli D. Weeks, of this place has ob. tained an Agency for The Mutual Life, and is now able to offer his friends the best life insurance, security in the coun- try.

A Republican FiascO-Mathews
Ahead,
WESTON, WEST Va, |
Sept.2l, 1876.


Editors Register:
About o'clock this evening quite y
number of Republicans (of all colorsl rs.
sembed on Main street directly in front
of the Democrat office, for the purpose
of raising u "Hayes and Wheeler pole.
After considerable wranghng and dis
cllssion among this amalgamated mass,
the pole WAS raised under the super
vision of the editor of the Democrat,
the flag that was hoisted even refusing
to float out on the breeze.
Many Of the most prominent Repub-
licsns seemed very much discouraged.
Through charity for them and their
principles, however, we will presume
they have no notion oi changing their
gates on the other post a colored m
dividual, one OF the most active opera
tors, said TO your correspondent, shortly
after the excitement had subsidized, "tS
colored folks and white folks has had a
hard time 30 cit dat thing rlght-It mus
be on de wrong side, it didn't do good.
lie is a good honest old soul, however,
aud | suppose he had no notion of chang
my his gate on the other post. But, Mr.
T. litor | am httle too fast. Just be-
fore the cdItorol the Democrat anI many
of his colurcd frauds, who seemed u be
among the most faithful on this occasion,
had lett the scene of contention
and disappointment, many OF our
town boys, sons of our most
highly respectable and influential
citizens, appeared instantly with small
flag waving gallantly for Tilden and
Hendricks. This liHIe flag did not refuse
TO wave. There seems TO be much in The
cause. The RAIDS do not know how to
account for the Tlldcn and Hendricks
flags waving so gracefully when the
other utterly declined.
Although 1t las been sometime since
the discussion In our town between Major
Mathews and Gen. Goh, permit me to say
that many Of the statements | have no
ticed IN Rel ublican papers concerning
this matter are entirely false. That 1t
is acknowledged on all hands that Gen.
Golf beat Major Mathews, is utterly and
entirely untrue. Major Mathews did
great credit to himself and his party. l
have heard many very liberal minded
men of good judgment say that Major
Mathews is by far the more cogent and
logical speaker. He made a great many
votes III my opinion.
Our county will give very consider
able Democratic majority.

WHO OWNS The FtBLiC EE'-
ORDS?

In the letter of Hon. ADRIAN >. HEw
TIT chairman Of the National Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, which ac'
companies Judge SoNNITTs mastery
espasure of the income tax ISLANDERS
against Gov. TILDEN, the following sig
nlfcsnt passage appears:
alt therefore occurred TO me to apply
to the treasury for certified copies ol the
income returns of Governor Tllden ana
Ex-Governor Hayes, and on the second
dsy of September made such appllca-
ton. The copies applied for have not
been furnished, nor, indeed, has my iet-
ter received the poor courtesy oil acRhow-
ledgment Meanwhile. adversarles oil
Gov. Tilden have apparently had free
access TO these returns, and even been
permitted to photo Autograph So much
of them rs suited their purposes. SUD-
nit this fact to the American people
without comment
The records Of the Government are
public property, and are supposed to be
for the use and benefit of the public.
They do not belong to any party, orany
administration; they belong to the
American people. Yet when an unscru-
pulous partisan sheet accuses the cand'-
date whom the representatives OF
majority of the American peo-
nile have nominated for the Presi-
dency, of fslsehood and perjury
the Republican guardians OF the records
will not furnish the necessary material
for an official contradiction. But these
same Republican guardians have allowed
the agents of the aforesaid sheet free
access to the records, and even permitted
them to make photo-lithographs OF such
documents rs suited their purpose.
When the administrator of q great
country leagues itself with lying news
paper to villiiy the character of an emil
nent statesman who happens to be of op.
posite politics, partisan malice and scoun-
drelism have certainly reached their
climax. Fortunately, this characteristic
specimen of Republican strategy has de-
tested its own purpose. 1t has given Mr..
HEWITT an opportunity to show up the
,netisble mesnness of the Republican
party and its hirelIngs, and 1t has
brought forward the unimpeachablc evil
dence of Judge SINNor-who was the
law clerk of Gov. TILDEN during the
whole period embraced in the alleged
frauds-and thereby completely knocked
the bottom out of the New York Times
story.
We do not envy the feelings of those
Journalists who originated this miserable
Islander, and those officials at Washing
ton who aided and abetted 1t, when they
read Mr.. HEwITTs scorchiug letter and
Judge SINNoT's clear and emphatic
statement of facts. Now that the in
come tax lie is exploded, the Times and
its co-workers in the administration
should make haste to get up another.
The time is short, and the beating of TIL
DEN becoming harder job every day.
Therefore, the Republican lie mill should
be started at once, and under full head
of steam.

MARTINS rEalsIANs INDIGNANT.

MARfrs's FERkY, Sept. %, 1876.
Editors Of the Register:
The news gatherer fer the htelligeacer,
as is usual for the aLoyal Gentleman" las
they style themselves J, who scribble Tor
the Republican party and its journals
this fall, full of malice towards the South
and Democrats, generally because they
want unity and brotherly love for all,
North and South, has maliciously, will
fully and with malice atorethought lied
about the Democratic pole and the Demo-
cratic meeting in Martins Ferry on the
10Th inst. The truth is, Mr.. Editor, that
the pole did not fail, but owing to the
giving away of = post, it was supported
by tlmbers until the post could be secur-
ed, which was not over one hour, perhaps.
No "uurepentant friend OF JEDI Davis
assisted with the pole" neither was one
OF them seen on the ground at the rails
ing thereof.
As for the Democratic party being rot
ten to the heart, we have only to say
that they are not led by men rotten with
leprosy. ,,-
1t is true a great many Republicans
were present and some OF them assisted
IN erecting the pole, and will also assist
in electing Samuel j. Tilden President OF
the United States. Our pole needs no
introduction.
The downcast look of the Republicans
of this vicinity betokens for their party
the forlorn hope they have of perpetua.
ting Grantism and is an OMEN of the ex-
termination of Grantism, thievery, bril-
berry and corruption in every part of the
United States Government. From Re-
publican long faces, caused by the cree
tion of our giant Tilden and Hendricks
pole, 200 feet high, a stranger would not
| fail 70 conclude that it was Tilden and
Hendricks pole. 1t needs no other in
PRODUCTION. The citizens know that the
Republicans made several desperate at.
tempts to raise pole and failed, giving
1t up in utter despair.
The tact is, Mr.. Editor, no Democrat
accused Republican of pulling down our
platform But the Democratic speakers
are SO overlsden with the issues they make
against the Republican party, that 1t
takes wonderful strong platform to hold
them up. 1t is an omen of the welghty
arguments and great truths the Demo.
cratic party have to present against mis-
rule and corruption, that is betokened
by the breaking down of their platform.
The Republican platform will not give
way, OF course; corn stocks would hold
their speakers up with such thin, light
arguments as they advance. Indeed, II
it were not that the Republican speakers
are so repugnant in the sight of God,
that they are not permitted to soar
Hesvenward, they might explode, and
escape into the air. The party that
will stir up strife between the North
and South, and breathe the breath OF
malice toward his fellow man and deny
J his brother in the South the same constl-
stutionsl rights OF citizenship and free
government that he himself would en-
Joy, is a rebel, and ought to be brand
ed as such, and no such party can ever
escape the clutches of the devil until 1t
mends its ways, or no Conscientious Re
publican can support such party with
out fastening his soul on hell.
