TIE Weston Democrat Is o good deal
out Of humor because the Executive
Committee did not decide to hold two
conventions and is somewhat severe in
Its criticisms. The Democrat is generally
pretty plain spoken, and its editor means
what be says and says what he means
without any mincing OF words. We
have no reply to make 10 the criticisms
on the REGIsTER, believing In the scrip
tural sdage that when 'the righteous
smites thee. it shall be kindness"
But we do think that the gentlemen
who compose the Executive Committee
ought to know "a little o something It
is presumable tina. they are persons of
ordinary intelligence, and as it was their
duty to inform themselves in all matters
pertaining to the good of the party, we
might at least infer that they were in as
suitable position TO judge whether one
or two conventions would bes! promote
the welfare OF the party as outside par
ties, who only look at it through one
glass. If the committee had undertaken
to have hauled the convention aroun1 to
suit the interest of each particular candi-
date, they would have had nice time of
it. We would respectfully suggest to our
genial friend WoFF, before he fires again,
that he "wipe oil his chin" or pull down
his Yest.r

THY Radical papers are full of Mr..
PENDLEroN. 1t is really pitiable to see
the heavy labor they are put to, to re-
lieve themselves from universal odium.
Ruined aud disgraced themselves. they
strain every nerve to make it appear Is
something terrible, that once prominent
Democrat received large fee for pro-
fessionsl services as lawyer. Their
hypocrisy and impudence is even sub-
lime; but it speaks well for the Democ-
rscy that with all the strains of it's enc
mics, nothing dishonorable can ba main
tanned against it or its members.

OUR Republican neighbors over the
river in the Belmont District are terribly
exercised to know whether Capt. DAN
FORD is to be candidate for Congress or
not. You see, there are some thirty
seven patriots who are exceedingly anxi.
Gus for the people OF that district to lay
them on the altar. But DASFoRD has
the inside track over the whole crowd,
and he is just about as reticent about it
ss GIANT is abost his third term aspirs-
tioRs. The Captain utterly fails to say
whether be is to be candidate or not,
and the other thirty-sevea people are in
suspense. The best solution Of the ditti-
Guilty would be to elect 8 Democrat, and
give DASFoRp until the next term to do
eide whether he will run or not.

States Supreme Court to-day, decided
that the present county OF Laramie, in
Wyoming Territory, is responsible tor
the payment of the ontlre debt contracted
by it previous to the separation from it
of two other counties. This case has ex-
cited much interest for the reason that it
is understood to involve the same ques-
tion that is now in controversy between
the States Of Virginia and West VII.
ginis, as to the liability OF the former, as
now constituted, for debt incurred by
the old State when it comprehended the
whole Of the territory that was suisse
quently divided between them.

After having conversed with most Of
the leading Democrats in the counties OF
Jackson and Roane, concerning the mat
ter, allow me to suggest the name OF
Edward L. Bill, as the Democratic
nominee for Auditor of the State Of
West Virginia at the next election.
The people Oft this section of the State,
and especially those who nave transacted
business at the Auditors Office since Mr.
Bill has been clerk therein, think it no
more than due to him, as recognition
of his integrity, competency and oblis-
ing disposition.
