At Charleston,

A movement is on foot, which may
prove successful, to adjourn the
Charleston Convention, after tho ap.
pointment Of an electoral ticket, and
the selection Of delegates to the Ma
tional Convention. There arc many
sound reasons to DO urged III behalf Of
this movement, prominent among
which is the unreasonable length OF

Again, the bitterness Of feeling mani.

duced many who were inclined to be
liberal in their views towards that

proper illusions to the people OF this

The Contest.

Tho approaching political contcs.
will. beyond doubt. be close one aud
false move on the par, Of Democracy
will inevitably result in another
defeat.
If any one for moment prcsumcS
to think that the leeches who hay Q
been revsliug in the natiou's lifc.blood
for eight years can be easily shaken
off, that one is terribly mistaken.
1t must bo remembered that the
dominant party has eighty thousand
office. holders, whose political heads
are. as it were, under the guillotino.
and the moment they fail to respond
to the call Of the party leaders, the
execu:iouer does bis work. aud tho
position is filled by those who have no
scruplcs in doing tho dirty work re.
quired by their political masters.
And besides this the Republicans
control the army and navy, and in
short the whole Government ; and will
they be INSCRIPTIONS enough to use
every mems in their power to iustcn
their corrupt rule upon the people for
another four years?
A glance at the record Of Tue party
is sufficient TO answer tho query.

own county, who have been mentioned
in that connection; but as the Conyen.
ton which will, in fact, seal the des.
TIMES Of tho party for four years to
come. is now close at baud, it may not
be improper to discuss briefly tho
probabilities.
Speaking exclusively from n Demo.
cratic standpoint, there are but two
candidates in tho field for tho Office Of
Governor. namely, Henry Mason
Mathews. Of Greenbrier, and ?. G.
Eastman. Of Mason. Ex-Governor
Prico is sometimes spoken of as a
"eompromsc candidate" but in our
judgment, either Mathews or Eastman
will be nominated. and the chances now
are largely in favor Of Major Mathews.
> For the Office Of Auditor, the calli.
dates arc very numerous and pro,ni-
nent among them are L. l.. Bill. Of
ROauc county. Joseph s. Miller, o!
Cabell county, Alexander Monroe. Of
Hampshire county. and John Gun.
ningham. Of Braxtou. There is ba-
ker's dozen more Of uspirants for this
position, whose names we do not now
recollect, and it may be that 4 candi.

There has never been q more terri
bic indictment against public corrup.
ton in this or any other country than
than that uttered by George Z. Hoar,
a republican member of Congress, in
tho close of his speech on the Belk-
nap impeachment:
"My owe public life has been
brief aud Insignificant one, extending
little beyond the duration Of . single
term Of senatorial office, but in that
brief period have seen Eve Judges
Of q high court Of the United States
driven from Office by threats Of I'M
pcach,nent for corruptian or malaG-
ministratiou. have heard tho taunt
from iriendliest lips, that when the
United States presented herself in the
East to take part with tho civilized
world in generous competition in the
arts Of life, the only product Of her
institutions in which she surpassed all
others beyond question was her cor
ruption. haro seen in tho State in
the Union foremost in power and
wealth, four judges Of her courts i'm
peached for corruption, and the poli.i-
cal administration Of her chiet city
become disgrace and a by.word
throughout the world. l have seen
the chairman Of tho committee on mil
itary affairs in tho House, now dis
tinsuishcd member Of this court, rise
in bis place and demand tho expul.
sion Of 4 Of his associates for making
sale Of their official privilege Of so.
Letting the youths to be educated at
our great military school. When the
greatest railroad Of the world, binding
together the continent and uniting the
two great seas which wash our shores,
was finished. ! have seen our national
triumph and exalting turned to bitter
ness and shame DO the unanimous
reports Of three committees of Con.
gross, two Of tho House and one hero,
that every step Of tina. mighty enter
prise had been taken in fraud. have
heard in highest places the shameless
doctrine avowcd by mon grown old in
public office that the true way by
which power should DO gained in the
republic is to LriLO tho people with
the Offices created for their service,
and the true end for which i! should be
used when gained is promotion Of

Of personal revenge. l have heard

tho trusted companions Of the presi-
dent. These things have passed into

This is republican testimony to the
enormous official Generalization which
has occurred since the party to which
tho speaker belongs came into power

occurrence before that period. Would
