lie service. But the other class want
the chance to draw salary andsport
themselves in the gaudy plumage Of
official station. The one would make
reputation for himself and rise
higher, but the other must inevita.
bic sink back into his native obscu-
rity. Were it not for certain news
papers this latter class, who bring ia
the place neither talent nor aptitude,
these little men, who can neither
write for the papers, nor speak to
the crowd, never would occupy an
office. But so long as such men are
crowded to the front, so long will the
true merit and brains of the State
be lost to the public service.
Since our journals do not push a
man forward simply because he has
talent and merit, frequent mentions
in the public prints no longer indi-
Gates that a man is fit for office
Hence the people have pretty well
ceased to look up to our papers for
guidance and advice in these mat
tiers. The time has come when they
inquire-"what has your man done?
what has he accomplished? what
can helshdss1as Al sample Of his own
production? IT wont answer to say
that he was a good representative in
the Legislature, eighty men can fill
that bill, and the question comes
back, "what did he produce" Ask
the representative Of yur county,
who was the best posted man in the
Legislature?
These are disagreeablc facts and
we are sorry to write them, because
certain journals for very shame dare
not reprint these articles. But you
can not suppress it, gentlemen, we
have a list of five or six reading,
thinking, influential men in every
county in the State, and these arti-
clcs shall circulate. We know
whereof we speak, and every man
who has reflected up this subject will
endorse all that we have said.
We proclaim it now, that if the
Convention dominates man who
has no qualification except the merit
of being pulled by subsidized press,
he will be beaten Mt the polls. The
party-whip won't crack unless the
candidates will bear investigation;
and yet we hear men talked about
whose private history won't bear
scrutiny. BY Heavens, l will vote
for no man who don't pay over mon
ey collected for his client. A man
who was dishonest once will be dis
honest again if the temptation offers.
There are men enough to work the
ship if it once be understood that we
will put no man in Office whose past
life does not stand sponsor for his fu-
turc conduct.
1t is true some of our ablcst men
have had but little opportunity to
display their fitness for the public
service and are but little known be-
yond their own neighborhoods, but
many of them have had occasion to
exhibit capacity and industry, and
their friends pointing to their pro
auctions are able to answer the queS-
tion-"whmt has he done to show his
nUneSS NI tile puuliu oui,iv,s''
"Thou hast been faithful over few
things: | will make YOU ruler over
many things"
We want it distinctly understood
that we write in the interest Of no
man, nor do we make war upon any
individual. We proclaim the truth,
and if any man can't stand the test,
he must keep his head from under.

Death OF G. II. HOdgsOn, Edi-

On the 9Th inst, a terrible acct
dent occurred on the Valley Branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
by which passenger and freight
train was precipitaled through a
bridge which crosses Cedar Creek in
Shenandoah county, Virginia, and
eleven persons were instantly killed,
and eight others seriously mangled.
Among those killed was c. H..

peopleof this State About ten years
ago he came to to this State from
Chester, Pennsylvania, and located
at Berkeley Springs, Morgan county,
and engaged in the drug business,
and also established the Morgan =,
e,rry newspaper, which he conducted
with considerable ability. He was a
staunch Democrat, and served the
people of this State on more than
one occasion. Recently his name
has been mentioned in connection
with the Office of Auditor upon the
Democratic State ticket. He was al
so known as prominent member of
the Knights of Pythias, having been
at one time at the head of the order
in this State, and was also 4 Mason
in good standing, as well as an act
i've member of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows. For 4 number
of years we have been on good terms
with the deceased, and have been of
ten thrown into close companionship
with him, and have on all occasions
found him to be a kind, courteous
gentleman, cheerful and agreeable
He was one of those energetic, per.
seyering men who never stopped half
way at anything he undertook, as all
the members of our Press Associa.

The recent developments in the
Schenck- Emma Mine swindlc show
how far Mr.. Grant will go to protect
favoritc from q just punishment
for his ohSenses. The Courts ofEng-
land had issued process against all
parties implicated in the fraud,
among them Genl. Schenck, but
Schenck was protected from arrest, by
reason of his ambassadorial capacity.
According to international comfy,
not being a private citizen, he was
not amenable to foreign laws 1t
now transpires, however, that Mr..
Schcnck had resigned long ago and
the resignation was in the hands of
the President and accepted, but the
fact of his resignation was kept
secret by Grant until Schenck was
on the ocean on his way to this coun-
try and beyond the rcachofa British
process, and then the fact is made
known. This is worse, if possible,
than the disgraceful Babcock bust
ness.

Ifanything was wanting to mark
with particular emphasis the certain
consciousness among Republican
leaders of the ruin in which their
party is involved by the recent
whisky fraud and cabinet corruption
exposures, it can be found in the
desperate attempt to close up all the
avenues of investigation by shelter
ing the guilty and frightened cul-
prits under the protection of the
corruptly impotent courts Of Wash
ington city. Marsh was frightened
out of the country by the threat Of a
criminal prosecution, and now a
number of other important witnesses
are driven to silence and sclf-im-

made threat that if they testify they
will be prosecuted, 1t is of course
impossible to convict anyone impli-
