the question should be Withdrawn from the
field of political intrigue aud corruption i;
therefore
Resolved, That the ties of association, kin

than passive interest in tho permanent To-
cation Of the Capital, at Martinsburg.
2, That we are firmly persuaded that, upon
the grounds of economy, convenience, and uc>
cessibaity-M artinsburg possesses great ad-

The Andalusla Celebration.

EDGINGToN, H., July 16, 1877.
To the Editors of The Argus
| see in the Weekly Union of last week
an account of the Fourth of July oelebra-
ton, in Andalusia, in which the writer
gives all the honor of the success of the
celebration to the Andalusia people-aud
thereby does injustice to the people of
Edgington and vicinity. wish to state
that without the Edgington delegation the
whole matter would have been glorious
fzzle. Messrs. j. H. Gaunt and John
Parks are the persons chiefly entitled to
credit for the success Of the affair They
worked hard, and, securing the Union
Marshal Band Of fEdgington, formed pro-
cession of about 80 wagons and proceeded
to Andalusia. There they found but three
wagons and baud awaiting them, and
then these had the impudence to head the
procession to the grove and afterwards
speak of it as our celebration. On vanity,
or-cheek!
Many of the Edgington people.while at
the grove, complain that they were not
treated as they should have been-and
were subject to many discourtesies. Had
the correspondent given the Edgington
people credit for making the affair sue
cess, as they certainly did, they would have
been satisfied Respectfully,
One Who WAS THERE.
