passengers were accredited delegates to
the Convention, besides several lockers
on in Venice, reporters and personal

REPUBLICAN, MEETING AT THE COURT
HOUSE LAST NIeHT.-Tn our advertising
columns yesterday morning appeared a
brief notice To the Hayes and Wheeler
Guards Of Clay district, TO the effect that
Hon. @. F. Scott, Republican candidate
for Congress from this district,
was expected to address them
at the Court House the same even.
ing. This brief notice had the ef.
feet Of bringing together an audience Of
probably three hundred people, thus
showing the great interest already taken
in the political Issues Of the day. Had
due notice been given, the building
would not have contained one.flth oil
those who desired to hear Mr.. Scott
speak. a'
The Ward was alive, and everyon was
enthusiastic, SO that when Mr.. Scott ar.
rived he was greeted with an ovation such
as only belongs to the advocate Of q great
cause, the cause Of the whole American
people and the Republican party.
At about s o'clock Mr.. T. J. Hugus,
President Of the Club, called the meeting
to order and Mr.. A. W. Campbell
Of the ISTELLoEEcER, to the chair
Mr.. Campbell, in few words, in.
troduoed, the speaker Of the even.
ing Hon. &C. f.. Scott, OF Richie
county. Mr.. Scott Is a pleasant speaker,
and created favorable Impression upon
all who heard him. His address was a
calm and dispassionate appeal to the In
telligence and better judgment OF the
people against the maladministration
that has characterized the Democratic
party in this State during the past four
years. He did not touch upon matters
pertaining directly to the Congressional
canvass, as his antagonist had not been
placed In nomination, but confined his
attention more especially TO State issues
and reviewed in detail the history OF the
West Virginia Democracy since they
came into power. His remarks were
| listened to with close attention by the
audience, and were frequently applauded
Attic close Of Mr.. SCOTS address, Mr.
Campbell read characteristic commu.
nication from DR.. ]. NJ. Todd, Of Bridge
port, inviting the members Of the club tc
20 over TO West Wheeling on Saturday
night and hear the Hon. Lorenzo Dan
ford make speech. The communication
was received with cheers.
Mr.. a. W. Campbell was called for
and spoke briefly, endorsing all that Mr.
Scott had said In his instructive and In
teresting address.
There were calls for Kemple, but as
the hour was late that gentleman did mol
respond, and tho meeting adjourned.

A MANAGERIAL Sportsman AT LARGE.
Quite an excitement occurred at the
residence Of Capt. Thos. Moore, near
-Tiltonsville, the other evening while the
family were enjoying the cool evening
breeze. The manly form Of Manager
James Hamilton was missing from the
family circle. Search was Immediately
made, and with torches and lanterns the
waters edge was examined for foot prints.
The missing man was finally found in the
corn field trying to get shot at q corn
monkey. It Is evident that Mr.. Fl. is
quite sportsman from the amount OF
game and fish lie brings in.

GREcosvtLIE, CLINTON & POTOMAC
RoAD.-The Board OF Commissioners
will on Tuesday next make trip to Cas-
tleman's Run, to examine the location OF
the second division Of the Greggsville,
Clinton & Potomac Road. The location
Of this road has been a subject OF contro.
yersy before the Board for the past three
years, and with view Of adjusting the
matter to the satisfaction OF all concerned,
special meeting ofthe Board was held
last Friday for the purpose Of hearing the
statements Of those claiming damages.
There was such u wide discrepancy, how.
ever, between the claims Of the landhold-
ers and the estimate Of the Committee on
Roads, that the Board finally determined
to visit the locality in body and definite.
ly settle the location of the road and the
amount Of damages due'ior right Of way.
They will accordingly leave the Court
House at an early hour on Tuesday morn
ing in the well known "Hullihen' omni.

Gtpb ShlU ~ aAS AS"S
STATE BoSpS-Steady. ':s'
srocEs -The speculative interest in
stocks to-day conferred in coal shares in
consequence OF meeting OF the members
of the combination, which was held this
afternoon. At this meeting a long preamble
was adopted setting forth that the Lehigh
Valley road, after agreeing to operate with
the combination, had produced more than
It's quota; also that there had been an over
production throughout the Lehigh Valley
region in April, and in consequence OF
Lehigh Valley operators representing their
inability to pay the penalties for over pro-
duction. A resolution was. unanimously
adopted dissolving the combination. I'M
mediately after this the Philadelphia d
Reading, Delaware, Lackawanna & West.
tern, Delaware & Hudson Canal, and the
Pennsylvania Companies resolved to offer
500 900 tons OF coal Mt auction On Tuesday,
10th inst. This establishes free trade in
coal, and will not only benefit the strong
companies, but will have tendency to re-
yiye some OF the PROSTATE industries OF the
country. The first effect OF the coal meet
ing was to depress the shares Of the anthra-
cite roads, but this was soon followed by q
firmer feeling and an advance in prices.
Tic bears who have been anticipating a
panic on the disruption Of the coal combi.
nation were disappointed. Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western, after declining to 9019,
rose to 9lZ, and closed at9lH. New Jer.
sey Central fell of to 571f, and closed at IS.
Delaware & Hudson Canal was steady at
COX, and Morris & Essex at 963z.. Lake
Shore was strong and " per cent. higher.
Michigan Central opened at 41%, advanced
to AZ, and closed ut AK. The general
market in the late dealings was strong. The
transactions were $4,000 shares, OF which
9, 900 were Western Union, 5000 st Pauls,
1000 Erie, 5000 Lake Shore, 5000 Michi:
gan Central, 5000 New jersey Central, and
IA. 600 Delaware, Lackawana d Western.
