On The Black Hills Frauds" says:
In some localities Of New York and
New England. men who have become
discouraged with the slow and slender
income within reach at home have struck
out FOR the Black Hills and fortune.
They have sold out at a sacri6,e- and
have risked everything on the hazard Of
a gold-huntiDg expedition il the Black
Hills. The result Is poverty, defeat, and
q bitter disappointment Somebody
should be punished for this shameful de-
eephon. Fron the first the Times has
denounced the Iuhammatory dispatche:
as fraudulent and misehievOus- There
has been no reason TO believe that tbt

lead. The result shows that from frs

Mr.. Editor
In these days when 50 many are
sounding their own praises and per-
sonally pushing their own claims for
office, it is aplcasurc to pay u trib-
ute to real,snd manly worth. 1t is
the duty ofeTtizons to call attention,
not to the claims, but to the fitness
and c0mpetpucy- OF certain men for
certain poSitions, and. the benefits
which would result to the State by
placing them in office. l, therefore,
take occasion to say that the inter
osts of the State, SO far as her public
schools are concerned, cannot be more
efficiently administered than in the
election of Prof, Spicer H. Patrick, of
Kanawha, as State Superintendent,
He has a classical education, is a
well read lawyer, and better than all
is practical, working educator. 1t
would seem pminently proper to Sc
lect teacher for a teachers place
| do not know that Mr., Patrick de-
siros the place, as he now occupies
not only lucrative, but high and
honorable position in Charleston
But is it not well for the State to
seek out justsuch men and give them
preference oIer others who are sound
ing their own praises? Let us hear
from other lhrts of the State. i

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1876.

Last week we published a short
telegram, announcing the acquittal
of Auditor Bennett by the High
Court of impeachment. The result
was no surprise to US, as we claimed
all along that the charges were of so
different a nature and character from
those against the Treasurer, that the
evidence would not sustain them
And now we take occasion to say to
the Pomeroy Telegraph and Mason
County Journal, that when they state
that the Register has been the defcn-
der and apologist Of John S, Burdctt,
late State Treasurer, they simply as
sert what is not true. If the TEE
graph would only attend to its own
business, and demand investigation
in its own State and county Offices,
it would stir up such n mass of cor
ruption, that it would have no time
to turn its attention toalIairs on this
side of tbs river.

From the Wheeling Register.l
| had the honor of having publish
ed in your paper some time since my
views of what | deemed, should be
the duty of the Democratic party in
this State, in selecting ticket for
the fall elections The anxiety of
medi0cre men to become candidates for
Office, and have their names herald
ed in the newspapers, were never
greater than at this time. The Dem
ocratic party of this State demand
and expect a State ticket composed
of hrst-class men. A ticket they
will not be ashamed of. One, in the
event of election, which will do cred
it to our young State, and command
the good opinion of the intelligent
people of the States which surround
US. This is no time for bigots and
wooden-hcaded men to be placed in
command. The issues are too impor-
tant and the struggle too momentous
to be lost by incompetent leaders,
This is an age of progress; Of free
thought, great moral ideas, and poll
ties; intellectual advancement, in the
masses. The day has come when the
people want agents skilled in practi-
cal craftsmanship, possessed of liber-
al views, and able and willing to
adopt line of policy whereby labor
and capital will seek employment
amongst us, and the great natural
wealth of our young commonwealth
made subservient to the taX-gather-
ers, and thousands of dollars derived
from new subjects of taxation, 60
into the common treasury. Wewant
representatives who can see beyond
their own selfish interests; men pos
sesscd of self denial, manly courage
and true patriotism. Not men who
arc looking alone to their own adj
vanccment, whose very motive is to
see whether or not they are to be
gamers or losers by what they may
do. There is no Disgusting the fact
but that in the present distracted
state Of our party, unless we nomin-
ate ticket which will unite the en-
tire Democracy, defeat this fall is
inevitable. Our ticket to be success
full, must be frst,class onc-compo-
sed Of men whose integrity is above
suspicion, and whose capability none
will dispute. VINDEX.
Mason county will present a gen.
tloman as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, in
the person of Hon. P. c. Eastman,
who will fill the standard Of "Vin-
dcx' to the very letter. Mr., East
ham is a representative man, has no
selfish interests tosubsorye; possessed

The presldeutinI OutIook.

1t is a pretty MISUNDERSTOOD that
the contest for the Republican nomi-
nation will simmer down to Grant
and Morton. Gen. Grant can secure
the nomination if he wants it, and
his desire will depend entirely upon
what conclusion he reaches as to the
probability of his election after he is
nominated. If he concludes that
public sentiment will not sustain
him in his third term aspirations, he
will then support Morton against
Blaine. Conkling's aspirations and
Sheman's nomination of Hayes will
amount to nothing, 1t is simply re-
duced to Grant or Morton, and so far
as the Democrats are concerned it lisa

Mr., Edjtol"

congratulates himself in having it
over the signature of so pleasant a

advice, he accepts it cheerfully, when
it is so pleasantly given, although
Themis may be mistaken as to his
classification.
Dear Themis, your definition of
Liberal" is accepted, but allow me
to ''ioin issue" with you, in claiming
that it distinguishes one party, or
ticket from the other, in the last
town election, Our defeated ticket
was Just as liberal as the successful
one.
Dear friend, you mistake "your
man, if You suppose me to be in ia
vor of no lcgalizod liquor selling, to-
gcthcr with novels erected all over
the country, and the sale of poison,
under the name of whiskeys," You
mistake the issue entirely. Let me
give it to YOU 1t is this; no license
and no Illegal sale of liquor on the
one hand, or licensed, dram selling
on the other which side are YOU on
Thcmis?
There is no difference between us,
on the issue as you state it. Junius
would greatly prefer the lcgaliaed sale
of liquor, with a strict and impartial
execution of the law, to the "hovols"
'or winch you speak. We shake
hands over that,
Let us shake hands over something
else, a think it very improper in
