Editors of the Register
SIE-Col. Ben. Wilson has come and
zone, having performed good service in
Hancock county toward the success OF
the Democratic ticket. Having spoken
in Fairview on the afternoon of the 9th,
the Colonel arrived in our place in the
evening. When the hour of meeting ar
rived, large audience assembled in the
Town Hall. TO hear the issue of the d ay
discussed by one who proved himself
amply qualified for the task. The house
was called to order by nominating james
w. Marrow to the chair, and g. W..
Newman as secretary.
Mr.. Wilson then, in an address of
two hours duration, held the attention
of the audience, while the subjects of
finance (which is the great subject at
present) the Resumption act and the rigid
measures adopted by the present House
of Congress towards the retrench-
ment, were freely and ably ham
died. Reference was also made TO
the corruption and profigacy of the
present administration, their influence
and lncapacity to longer govern this
great republic. We are glad to note
that many republicans were present,
some no doubt desirous to learn the
cause in part for the stringency OF the
times. their own speakers being careful to
avoid giving them any light on the sub
iect Mr.. Wilson in his address remark
ed that If any person present desired to
controvert any ofhis assertions the oppor-
tunitv would be accorded, and as
some able defenders OF the
Republican faith were present and de-
clined to hitch on, the inference is,
his arguments were unassailable.
In the midst of the speaking the door
opened and crowds of men, women and
children came pouring in and tool their
seats, which caused little though pleas
ant interruption. 1t proved to be the
audience from the Christian Church, pas
tor included. where protIacted meeting
is in progress. After the service they
proceeded to the hall where we trust
thev heard another good sermon, though
perhaps from different standpoint.
Thanks for the compliment.
The New Cumberland Brass Band
were present and furnished some excel
lent music, for which the audience re-
turned them vote OF thanks.
And now, to sum up, we will say that
Col. Wilson left II good impression which
will immure to his benefit on the day OF
election in an increased majority, as the
peoples representative IN the next Con-
gress, having proved faithful servant
in the past. j. L. Mckennan, Z a., of
Wheeling, accompanied Col. Ben Wilson
to this county. JAS. w. MORROW,

He has been gradually sinking for sew

mere decay of nature. His remains are
now living in state at Pioneer Hall. The
funeral will take place Tuesday alter

satisfied with the condition OF
affairs. but has manifested considerable
concern at hearing nothing from ms SOD,

questlng his resignation ss one Of the

rendered their designations, though they

The trustees say no complications can
ensue in carrying out Lick's charitable

of the official head of the Radical party

The Postal Railway Convention.

CINCINNATI, October 1.-The Special
Postal Railroad Convention is in session
to-day, and examined the officers of the
leading railroads terminating in CIncin-
mali in regard to the transportation of
mails over their routes, and also the mer-
chants and business men, in regard to
the accommodations furnished while the
fast mail WAS in operation, and also as to
the present arrangements. The railway
managers were of opinion that the COM
pensation for the carriage OF the mails
now transported in pouches, without any
clerk or agent, was ut very much
higher ratio than any other service, and
was proportionately too high. That
what was needed was more thorough
service by postal cars throughout the
states of Ohio and Kentucky, rs that
would accommodate the local mail, which
was of much greater importance than the
through mails. There was great con-
fict of testimony among the merchants,
bankers and publishers of newspapers
some testilyins that they were as well
served now as when the fast mail WA IN
operation, and others that there was
delay of twenty-four hours in remit
tances and correspondence between New
York and Cincinnati. The committee
