Democratic Reform In RiChland
District, Ohio County.

| AubtAAhSAtNSA
Several little sCurrillous communica.
tions have appeared in the Wheeling Reg
ister since the opening Of the present
campaign, slandering the Republican par
ty generally and referring 10 some Of itl
members in this district in not very com
plimentary terms.
The reputed author OF these articles ID
the subject OF this letter.
As a sample Of the hollowness Of Dem.
ocratic pretensions to genuine reform, !
desire to call the attention Of the tax
payers OF Ohio county to a. few facts in
relation to the Superintendency Of the
Wheeling, West Liberty & Bethany Turn
pike.
Mr.. A. NJ. Jacob, the present leader oI
the Democracy-the President OF the Til
den and Hendricks club Of this district,
also candidate for Justice Of the Peace
was Superintendent OF the said turnpike
for three years.
At the expiration Of his term, and
while Mr.. Jos. Salisbury was President
Of the Board Of Supervisors, Mr. Jacob
was asked for settlement. Hewas seen
TO go into Mr.. Robt. B. Woods office,
make out his bill Of receipts and expendi'
lures without any reference to book or
memoranda OF any kind-simply from
memory, when he returned the enormous
sum OF hro hundred and trclre dollars per
year as received from toll, making the
sum total received for three years six
hundred and thirty.six dollars.
BY his rendering Of the account he
brought the county out his debtor fifty
dollars, and asked the Board for an order
for that sum.
After the presentation Of Mr.. Jacobs
account the Board adjourned for dinner.
In the meantime the gentleman who had
witnessed, with astOnishment, Mr.. Jacobs
new method OF making out bills, called
Mr.. Saulsbury's attention to the report,
requesting at the same time that com
mittee be appointed TO investigate Mr..
Jacobs accounts.
Upon reassembling after dinner COM
mittee was asked for and appointed.
That committee is still standing, has
never reported, and Mr.. Jacob never
again asked for his fifty dollars.
Under the present management Of the
W., W. l.. Il D. Turnpike the amount OF
toll paid into the county treasury for one
year, from May Isl, 1875, to May lst,
1876, was Seven hundred and scventy.two
dollars and fifly.two cents. This, too, at
time OF great financial depression at the
bottom OF terrible panic, as against six
hundred and thirty.six dollars in three
years in time Of great prosperity, when
every man had his pocket full Of green
backs and plenty Of time to spend them.
Country people as a general thing have
to 20 somewhere to spend their money.
Now, Mr.. Editor, is it any wonder the
Democracy Of RichIand District are in
favor OF reform.
There are still a few very live Repub-
licans in Richland who are willing 10 as
sist Mr.. Jacob 10 waive the "blOOdy
shirt aud the Democracy to reform.

the Hon. Samuel s. Cox, Of this city, ia al
present in Western Virginia engaged in
The noble work Of "portraying yiyidly

This, We understand, is what he did IN
Wheeling on Tuesday evening, in Hamil,

We are told in the warm'hearted special

TO "ald' materially to the in

Gratifying as tho intelligence Is
that Mr.. Cox is adding TO the interest in
the cause OF Democracy by portraying
putrescence in Western Virginia, It il q
melancholy reflection that a gentleman oi
his literary taste and fine sense Of humor
should deem il his duty to 20 about the
