The following document has been is-
sued BY portion Of the citizens OF Par
kersburg:
CIarksburg in Observation-Disclosures
Men Reflect Upon the Duty OF the
Hour-W Look 10 Your
Interests.
1t is we'll understood that large ma
iority of our voters are for Charleston IN
the present contest for the Capital. The
reason for this is pa psble. Our interests
are with Charleston, and our sympathies
are IL the same direction. We have
nothing IN common with Clarksburg.
Csrksburg defeated Psrkersburg for the
Capital in 1869. and has never given T.
Psrkersburg trienGly support. We are
under no obligations to Clarksburg, and
we cannot afford 10 give her the aid
which she denied to us. We cannot
give our votes to build up wholesale
houses in her midst, to destroy our trade
in ber behalf, and TO take away business
from our doors and iabor from our
homes. The Third district has had
no rececognitiou, and public economy
demands that the people shall accept the
magnificent tender by the people of
Charleston of a State House and grounds
free. Thus, public economy, a sense OF
Justice, our own interests, and our own
sympsthies, all combine to give Charles
ton our friendship In this race. All this Is
well understoon, and hence, under pre-.
tense OF defeating an election, and giving
Parkersburg chance hereafter, a move
ment is gotten up in the interest OF
Clarksburg, appealing to our people TO
vote for either Msrtlnsburg or Clsrks-
burg. The fight is to beat Char lesion
and elect Clsrksburg. Let US not be de-
ceived. There is no session OF the Leg
islature next winter. An evtrs session
cannot be convened, except on the call
OF the Governor, or two.thlrdS OF the
members The Governor cannot inter-
fe-e, by the use of his official power, in
this sectional contest. 1t would Oe wrong
and suicidal for him to do so. The mem
Ders who favor either OF the places named
in the present bill will oppose it. There
will be therefore, and there can be, no
extra session. Thus, the only result OF
defeating an election now would be to
bring the race between Charleston and
Clarksburg at the next election. That
will increase the chances of Clsrksburg.
Candidates for Congress, county clerks
and members of the Legislature will
bring out full vote. A full vote in the
First and Second districts will defeat
Charleston next year So it is plain that
the effort to defeat an election now Is u
Clsrksburg dodge A vote for Martina
burg now is a vote for Clarksburg then.
Men OF Wood county. this is our great
and only chance to elect the place of our
choice among the three! We are not
children, TO deal with this grave question
as plsything. Vote for Charleston now
and settle this question forever, IN favor
of our own sympsthies and IN furthersnce
of our own interestsl

WAsHiSGToY, August 6.-Secretary
Schurz denies the statement recently
published that w II. Kemble, OF Penn
sylvsnls, paid him 81, 500 tor repeating
the same speech three times in the cam

story utterly false and ridiculous and
says that since 1856 be has been acting in
thirteen campaigns, State and national,
from two weeks TO four months at time,
an average Of SIX to seven weeks; that IN
most of these campaigns ne paid all his
expenses out of his own pocket, some
times when he could i'll afford it and 10
the utter neglect of his private affairs;
he gave to those campaIgha lot only his
labor and time amounting TO little less
than twenty-four solid months, but y
considerable amount of money also.

THE disastrous losses sustained by the

truction OF property and the interruption
u railway trstis, makes the labor ques-
uon OF momentous Importance, and one
which should receive careful cOnsiders-
ton from Congress. Several members OF
the Cabinet favor the organization OF q
commission, to which sll differences be.

submitted, for the purpose OF bringing
about compromise. Numerous other
