"There is nothing more becoming than
modest stiffness and gentilfty."
Many years ago old Gold wrote that
sentiment, yet it is as applicable today
as century ago. Consequently, ever
willing to learn lessons of wisdom, even
from sages Of the past, your CORES
pendent has been in quiescent state; but
now, as the impeachment embroglie has
ended, and the high court has done that
which duty, evidence, and the masses de-
mand at their hands,. c. Treasurer i'm
peached-removed for farming (see
draft on j. n. Camden for partic-
ulars;) the Hon. E. A. Bennett acquitted;
the voice of the people say "well done
good and faithful servants" Honor,
honesty and rectitude has only guided
the action OF the gentlemen composing
the high and honorable tribunal. The
managers of the case we can only COM
pliment for doing their sworn duty faith
fully. But lesson is to be learned from
all this, that is, as this high court has
decided, all receivers of public moneys
may be standing on slippery ground, and
as starting point must be given, large
game was selected, in the persons of the
Auditor and Treasurer, as test question.
What ask would be the case of lesser
lights of public receivers of moneys, and
would ask whose q per cent, received by
sheriffs of each county in the State, on the
distributable school fund, which sheritfs
receive by use of same, passing it to the
credit of State taxes, and leaving
teachers, month after month, without
pay from this transmigration; without
pay for honest labor. Whose q per
cent? 1t is only query. don't pro
pose in this communication to go into
the State making business. The DEM
ocratic Convention when called, pre-
sumo, have half as much sense as your
correspondent; or yet do | propose to
open up and show, as could do, the core
Of the carbuncle on the body polite of
the Democratic party of the State. Ger
rymanderlng, manipulating and seeking
fol soft places by destroying the bed that
nursed you, is not the way to do it. If we
are a party, let US be one united. Then
safely can the Democratic party of the
State of West Virginia fling its banner
to the breeze, defying the assaults of the
combined foe.
Yet our strength is destined to
make us weak; our folly will
make us wise when too late.
Brooches should be closed; chickering's
subside; place hunters should learn that
they only weaken their prospects by en-
deavoring to weaken the party they
claim utilization with. Of course errors
exist; vet they should remember that
errors can be remedied by united action.
Fault-finding, eliminating and the spirit
of discomfort only gives their greater foe
food for the campaign just before us.
"Wisdom in time is two-told wisdom
when too late"
Our county rests in mud. Mud in the
streets of our town; mud on the high
ways and byways-in short, mud is
trumps and can't be euchred. Never
worse roads; never more curslngs on
the heads of the powers that
be; and last, but not least,
never people with less money
and more 10 eat than the people
of Lewis.
The trial before the Examining Court
in the Wlsh's murder case has been In
session several days and may conclude
this week cant say of the evidence
elected which one OF the five arrested are
most guilty, nor would say if my opln-
ion was formed. The case is beng con-
Quoted by Judge Edwards and associates
in a manner that rebounds to their credit
and also to the credit OF the counsel on
either side.
Your especial friend Col. WotIindin Is
employed rs stenographer taking down
the evidence.
Your worthy, good looking and sces-
titic architect, Mr.. &. T.. kemble is with
us making plans and specifications for
the contemplated addition 20 the asylum.

this county. He was President OF our
bank and leaves the above colossal for

Business dull, yet merchants report
better receipts OF cash this than last
year.
How can | say more ? you we'll know
ing that all who live in a country town
have n routine life A dog fight ever
and anon may disturb us, yet we live
move and have our being. Pork and
hominy, and Texas to pay, and wonder
il Grant will be third term cadidatc, and
if bills offered by our representatives In
Congress are not for buncomb, and if
various communications from same that
find their way into columns of State pa
pers is not cheap mode of advertising
themselves. Twenty cents line charged
by you fellows of the press might save
much reputation for the parties engaged
in this innocent amusement.
NV regards to your Hancock CORES
