The Army 10 Remain nj 25,OO0
Men.


As will be seen by our Washington dis.
patches the Democrats we're beaten in the
House Saturday, in their programme 10
reduce the army to 10000 men from its
existing maximum Of $4,000. The cause
of the defeat is thus explained in spe-
cial to ycsterdays Cincinnati Enquirer.
Read it with care. The Enquirer is a
Democratic paper:
"The defeat is due solely to the care.

have engagements which conalrain them
to neglect their duties and remain out OF
their seats. The bane OF the Democracy,
indeed, seems to be absenteeisn. When

PIrrsBURGH, November lS.--A fr
broke out this morning about 8 o'clock IL
the large fiYe.story iron front buildins OF
Fifth avenue, known as the Dspatcl
building, and occupied by the DiPltel
newspaper. The ere department re
Sponded quickly to the alarm and were
on the ground a short time after the blaLt
was discovered, but owing to the scarcity
oI water their efforts were greatly retard,
ed, and It was some time before any eff
Client streams were on the building. The
fire in the meantime gained such head
way that the three upper stories we're
entirely burned out and the lower por.
tion Of the building badly damaged by
Gre'and flooded with water. The upper
story Of the building was occupied by the
Dispatch composing room, and the type,
press, cases, stones, proof presses and
other pAraphernaIla Of the business were
all deptoyed. The third and fourth
floors were used rs lodge rooms by
the Odd Fellows, Red Men aud other
societies and the second Amor partialIy
occupied BY insurance offices. On the
street floor was the counting rooms and
business Offices Of 1.-The Di,paieh and in tbe
rear the lob Office Of A. A. Anderson 4
Son. and in the rear basement wa, tbe
press and folding room, Of the paper.

Point commands view Of the whole val
ley, the hills and the plateau beyond
stretching miles away, presenting scene
OF almost enchanting beauty. On the
bottoms east and West Of the town are
ranged the splendid farms Of Hon. B. W.
Price, r. B. Curtis, ]. W. Gallaher aud
Captain David Roberts, the last noted for
the mathematical precision with which
its broad acres lie in squares divided by
board fences as straight aS u line. North
are to be seen the extensive nurseries Of
Joseph Harris, the elegant grounds and
mansion Of presiding justice Judge Alex
ander, the farm Of Alfred Tomlinson, and
further north and fronting on the river
Col. V. L. CockayneS beautiful valley
farm. Stretching of 10 the west, on the
Ohio side, is the magnificent farm OF Col.
John Thompson, encircled by the hills,
an emerald rimmed with lovely autumn
hues. Once aroused the good people Of
MoundsvilIe, aud indeed we might say Of
Marshall county, will leave nothing un-
done that will add TO the attractiyeness Of
the place or its material prosperity. Good
roads from all parts Of the county to it's
shire town are the crowning ambition Of
the people. At present they contemplate
a aturnpike road from Moundsville to the
southern boundary Of our city. The com.
mittee appointed at the July term Of the
County Court, under .&IcFadden's bill,
passed last winter for the special benefit
of Marshall county, to view the road and
estimate the taxable property along it's
line, are now ready to make a report, and
will do so at the present term otthe Court,
1t ia understond that The report will be
highly favorable to tho construction Of
the road. Everywhere along the pro.
posed line there is an abundance Of ce.
ment rock, which will do for the founda.
tion or bed, and there is also plenty Of
hard blue limestone for the surface. AL.
most all the material for the road will be
donated. There is no reason why the
road should not be quickly, cheaply and
durably built. It's thus that our neigh
Dor proposes, with her pleasant drives for
summer, her comfortable and rapid COM
munication for winter, to make her bor-
ders the attractive home of many of our
city Business men. She will do it II she
but half appreciates and improves her
opportunity.

The Court Of Appeals rendered deci.
sion in this somewhat famous case on
Saturday whereby the prisoner is ordered
to be re.sentenCed to death by Judge
Melvin. Strauder's counsel, however,
gave notice OF their intention 10 carry the
case into the U. S. Supreme Court on a
wriloierror. One Of the points made by
them, and overruled by the Court Of Ap.
peals, was that strauder did not have
such trial as every citizen OF West vir.
giniais entitled to. In other words, that
the law Of West Virginia excluding col.
ored citizens from the jury box not
only prejudices the protection OF the
colOred citizens life and property, but is
in violation OF Sec. lst OF the l4th Article
Of the Constitution Of the United States
Said section provides as follows: "All
persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to the Jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens Of the United States
and Of the State wherein they reside. No
State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or i'm
munities Of citizens Of the United States;
nor shall any State deprive any Person OF
life, liberty or property without due pro-
cess Of law, nor deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal protection of
the lava
Strander's counsel contend that the
exclusion Of colOred citizens from the
jury box in this State is violation of
this Constitutional provision, and that
iuAsmuch as no colored man was allowed
tosit in his case he was thereby deprived
Of a trial by jury Of his peers, and thus
abridged Of his privileges is a citizen OF
the United States and OF that "equal pro.
lection of the laws" of West virginia TO
which by virtue of his United States cit.
izenship he was entitled.
