Karicofe left the neighborhood that
evening and went to Highland county
where he was doing job of water piping.
On the 18th of September having finished

caution to arm himself with double bar
relied gun, set about getting warrant for
the arrest of Wooddell, which was issued
ON the 18th inst. by Justice Van Lear, and
the same officer on the 18th committed
Wooddell who had been arrested, to jail to
await the action of the grand jury.

More richness 1t Is announced from
New Orleans that two celebrated char
acters-being no less than }. HALE
SYPHER, the well known eX-Raiicsl
NJ. C., from Louisiana, and brother-in n
law CAsEY-have been, it is believed, in
dicted for crooked whisky operations,
If this thing don't cease there is no tell
ing where the whisky conspiracy will
end, or who it will involve in its meshes
That expression, "let no guilty man es-
cape, if it can be avoided, is playing the
mischief and if indictments continue to
be found in such high places, the remark
will either have to be withdrawn and a
general noile proscq'd entered, or the
whole Radical party Will go up the spout.
His Exocllency never apprehcnded any
such catastrophe.

lT is always gratifying to note the evil
dences of returning business prosperity.
In fact, if the people will only make up
their minds to believe that business is to
revive, and thus be inspired with conf
dencc, then business nW revive. One OF
the chiefest indications that this conf
dence is returning, ard that therefore a
better time is coming, is found in the re-
turns of the Postotlico Department for
the month of January, where it is shown
that the demands for stamps and stamped
envelopes during that time was unpre.
cedented, amounting to 3l2,0O00O0.
This shows that, at any rate, business
correspondence has been brisk, and it is
decidedly encouraging.

THE DISCRIMINATING VETO
POWER.

a short time ago in commenting up
on Mr.. FAULKNERs proposed amend
rient to the Constitution of the United
States Incorporating the idea of dis
terminating veto in that instrument we
claimed that West Virginia was the first
State TO introduce this important feature
into her Constitution, which is true.
Upon examining the journal of the
Constitutional Convention of 1872, we
find that Judge JNo. BLAIR lloGE of Berk.
elev was entitled to the credit of bring
ing this feature to the attention of that
body. On page &c of the Journal We
find the following resolution offered by
Mr.. uogc and referred to the Committee
on the Executive Department:
"ReSoIred That the Committee or the
Executive Department, i'll inGuirinl into
the expediency Of providing that the as
sent of the Governor shall be essential to
the enactment of all laws and joint reSo-
lutlens pdsscu ny thc ~ ~'S''''"''f Wv "IsV
INQUIRE into the expediency of providing
that in any act making appropriations of
public money, or having more than one
object or purpose, provided for in scpa.
rate sections. the Governor may approve
or disapprove any section OF such act or
any item of appropriation, in which case
only the portions of such act not disap-
proved, shall have the force and effect Of
law"
In emitting to mention this fact pre-
yiously we may have done injustice to a
worthy gentleman, whose modesty would
prevent his complaint, and therefore
make this statement in order that what
ever credit may be due in this direction
NAV be attributed TO the proper person.

Major Ill. NJ. Mathews.

The last issue ofthe Border Watchmaa
contains a very complimentary notice of
Attorney General Msj Henry NJ.
Mathews, and mentions his name favora-
bly in connection with the Democratic
nomination for Governor. We don't
know of man in his position of the
State, that our people would delight
more to honor, than Henry Mason
Mathews. He is all we could desire as
nominee for the high position of Gov
ernor of the State. 1t would afford US
unqualified pleasure to support him,

THE CONDUCT OF BABs CASE.

1t is impossible to, read about the con-
duct of the defense in the ease of Gen
eral BABcocK without feeling that he Is,
to say the least, in a very suspicious
situation. Not only did that letter IRON
JoYCE, inclosing $500 to him at thesame
time that similar letter was dispatched
to the convict AVERY, have the tendency
to place him General b. in this posi-
ton, but subsequent events have involved
him still more. The earnest fight made
by the prosecution against the introduc.
ton as evidence, of the famous kilograms
which passed between the accused and
the whisky ringsters (Which: kilograms
be it remembered, it was announced at
first, would be acknowledged, and ex-
planned away satisfactorily show distinct
ly that there is something serious in them
which the defense is afraid of, and be-
sides this, the flimsiness of the positions
taken by the counsel, in some instances
is very well calculated to excite suspicion
if not positive disgust. For example, In
the case of a certain telegram sent to
BARcoCK. which was traced into the
hands of doorkeeper of the Executive
Department-slso named JoYcE-whose
business il was to receive such messages
and deliver them to the proper parties
it was contended that it could not
be admitted as evidence because u
had not been proven that the
General had ever received it, and this
proof could not be obtained ut all, be-
cause the man JOYCE has lately died.
The questions which naturally arise
when these things are considered are:
First, If these kilograms are so harm
less, and can be so easily explained, why
this strenuous opposition to their intro
duction?
Second, Why is it considered necessa-
~ to fight against them on such flimsy
grounds when the differences are so
plainly and palpably opposed to the po-
sitions taken by the defense?
We never have believed that, in the
face of such avowed and open anxiety
on the part of the administration
to acquit the private Secretary,
he would ever ba convicted. Ger
tai'lc there is some one on the
jury who will prove good enough friend
of the President to be guided by him in
to believing that the accused is innocent.
But, Oh the other hand, everybody must
believe that JOYCE sent and Bah re-
Ceived that $500 note at the same time
the convict AVERY received his, and
everybody also will believe that those tel
egrams back and forth, were really sent
and received, despite the fact that no one
may be now living VINO can swear tneY
were put into BARS hands. Hence, since
every body will be likely to bclieye these
things, some of the jury will probably do
so, and therefore the chances are that
that jury will hang; and while the result
may save Bah from the penitentiary, it
will ruin his reputation, for, like Mr..
BEEcHER, his position is too promi-
ncnt to enable him to afford any
thing like equivocal or suspicious
circumstances to rest upon his character.
He must emerge from the trial un-
scathed, or suffer loss OF reputation from
which neither he himself nor the admin
istration can recover.

THE COURT OF APPEALS.

The Judges of the Supreme Court of
Appeals have decided, after consultation,
not TO hold an extra term of that court
at Charleston. Judge HoFFMAN's bad
health will prevent his attendance at
Charleston, and grave constitutional
doubt being suggested as to the validity
of Mr.. GREENS appointment, there will
be no court until the regular June term,
which will be held in this city.

Describing the career Of Commodore
Vanderbilt, the New York World calls
him the patriarch Of the great triumyirate
Of New York milliouaires, composed Of
Astor, Stewart aud Vanderbilt. Begin
ming his career at the age Of sixteen as
the captain Of n sailboat ON the Hudson,
no gradually made his way to The control
Of the steamboat interest In aud around
New York. In this pursuit he acquired
two things, namely an immense fortune
and the title Of "Commodore," which has
always cluug TO him. Gradually with
drawing from steamboats, he invested In
railroads, and ~ now the largest owner
of railroad stocks and bOudAin this coun.
try, If not in the world. In 1864 Mr.,
Vanderbilt reported his income to the
United States Internal Revenue Commits
sioner at very nearly three-quarters Of a
million. In 1865 his fortune was esti.
mated at $40, 900, 900. To-day those who
are most familiar with his affairs rate
him at from $70,000,0O0 TO $90,O00,0 900
II Is understood that the bulk Of his for.
tune will 90 to his son, William II Van
derbilt, who relieves his father from the
actiye cares aud burdens Of business
There was recently areport 10 circulation,
both on the street and at tho clubs, to the
effect that the Commodore had already
made over to William a sum Of $50, ,0OO,-
900 in stocks and bonds. Mr.. Wander
bit is crt~ssk~fgom the wood of which
great men are made; hc would have ex-
celled in any walk Of life. There was in
him the making Of a great soldier or u
great statesman. Personally he Is ono Of
the handsomest men Of Ills time, Even
now ut the age Of eighty.two he stands
erect and commands respect by bis pres
ence alone. The "old mani looks hale,
hearty and well, drives out every fine
afternoon behind pair Of fast horses,
and handles the ribbons rs well as he
ever did. lie is generally alone, in
light wagon with top, and to see him
spinning along Harlem lane ut d three
minute gait, one would say he was likely
to live many years more.
