"ARoUNp THE SALOONS. Mr.. John
son, of the Sunday Leader, evidently
made mistake in sending the reporter
he did to interview tho saloon keepers.
The reporter is not truthful man, and
it being in the province of truthful jour-
mails to expose fraud, we cannot but ex-
patiate on the canards to which that
reporter gave utterance, and which have
been source of great annoyance 10 us.
All day yesterday there was continual
pouring in OF saloon men into our sane
tum to ask that we make correction in
regard to the misrepresentation of that
reporter, who, they claim, has wilfully
and mallclously turned "straigh~ liquor
into tselt2er" water, if we accept the
Leaders version. The first man said the
reporter did not drink "pop" in his
house, but liquor, straight" the second
said he didn't drink settler" but liquor,
straight" the third man said he didn't
drink .'sarsaparilia," but liquor, straight"
the fourth man said he didn't quatf the
delicious juice of the lemon, mixed with
sugar and water, but liquor, straight"
And so the long list OF our visitors con.
frmed the reports of each other, and
entreated that we expose these "spirits"
AS Baldwin did his. In accordance with
the popular demand, we lay bare the
fraud, AS is our wont, and retire to our
virtuous couch to sleep the sleep OF the
innocent, with the soothing conviction
that we have done our duty in showing up
this example of Misrepresentation as
warning to others in the future.

WAYS a skeptic in medicine, and generally
everything else, except one. There ia
one thing he believes in, snd that is that
it is interesting TO all who come within
his reach to be bored with lengthy and

which recital usually concludes with
an emphatic statement OF bis dis
belief in all remedies that are

WHAT A SALOON MAN THINKs OF IT.
-Editors Register:-Noticing in the
Sunday Leader certain views, purportlng
to be the expressed opinions Of certain So
loon men, myself among the number,
would ask the privilege of expressing my
views and the views of others with whom
! have conversed, through the columns
Of the REGISTER in my own language,
which is not in accord with that publish
ed by the Leader. In the first place,
there can be no doubt but that those who
are engaged in the temperance movement
have been instrumental in accomplishing
q great deal of good since it has been IN
augurated. They have saved many per-
sons from disgrace and destruction, who
could not control the unsuitable appetite
which they had acquired for drink. do
not see anything wrong. nor does any
respectable saloon keeper, in people as
sembling at their respective halls or
churches for the purpose of offering up
prayers for and advocating reform, In Or
der that such men may be saved. Instead
of condeming the lsudsble work, as 1t IS
now being conducted, l accord the gen
tlemen and ladies engaged in it the great
est praise, and think that they should re.
ceive the support and announcement OF
all good citizens, for no one dislikes to see
man indulge in liquor to excess,
and become beastly intoxicated
more than saloon keepers themselves
No one who claims the privilege OF
thinking ana acting for himself can say
aught against the movement, so long as
its leaders do not intrude on the rights
of others-rights that the law of land
guarantee TO us in following our legiti-
mate business unmolested.
So far as l can see and learn, the class
of people who have been drinkers and
who have signed the pledge, are those
who had no control over themselves, and
whose patronage is not desirable to re-
spectable saloon man on that account.
Because man deals IN liquor, there is
no reason or cause to believe that he Is
an advocate of drunkenness, and no one
who has pstronized tirst.class saloons can
say but that they have seen drunken
men refused liquor in such saloons.
In conclusion, 1 hope the parties who
have signed the pledge may keep their
obligations inviolate, and | will close by
referring to the ten o'clock ordinance.
| This is a matter which think should be
left entirely to the parties who pay for
the licenses to sell liquor, which are ex-
ceedingly high, and not to persons who
do not invest q dollar in the trade.
Liquor men, l claim, have the same
privilege to keep open at night as per
sons engaged in any othor pursuit. We
pay for the privilege of selling liquor
during the week, and should be accorded
the full benefit thereof.

TUE New DIoCEsE.-At the close of
the morning service yesterday at st.
Mathews church, the Rev. Mr.. Arm
strong announced that as convention
was to be held at Petersburg on the 18th
Of April next, at which the sense of the
members OF the church within the terri
tory of West Virginia was to be ascer-
tanned, whether or not separation from
the old diocese, and new one formed in
said territory, was desired, and in accord
ance with the announcement that the
sense of the members Of this congrega-
ton would be taken to that effect this
morning. As the main object
was to know the amount that
could be- raised to certainty to
defray the expenses OF new diocese.
the amount that each member would I'M.
pose upon himself to pay annually
would be the surest way arriving at the
result, He further said that the vestry,
instead of subscribing certain sum in
behalf of the congregation, had decided
to refer the case to the members them
selves. and lot them subscribe as
they saw fit. For his part he
thought new diocese would
be an excellent change. He believed 1t
would cause healthy growth and per-
petuation of the church, yet he did not
want his words to weigh one iots in the
minds of his people. He desired them to
act according to their own Judgment.
Slips of pa Der containing the following
words were handed around to the congre-
gstion:
agree to contribute the sum ofS--
annually, to be paid quarterly, on the Isl
days OF January, April, July and Oct0per
for the support of the Episcopate OF Wes'
Virginia, If the same be established.
