WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1.-THE
National Republican is silly enough to
say that the President expects the Re
publican party will hereafter cBrry sew
eral Southern States besides those which
were last Fall counted for Hayes. AS
there is hardly corporars guard of
white republicans in any of Them and
Fred Douglass says the colored men, left
to themselves, will eventually go with
their old masters, the Republicans as
seriion or Mr.. Hayes belief would seem
to be in direct opposition to facts and
probabilities. In sober truth there is no
hope among intelligent supporters of the
Administration that any Southern State
can be carried this fall, and the most
that is looked upon as possible is to pres
vent the humiliation of its support in
some of the Northern States Already
the triumphs of Hayesism is put, by its
more judicious friends, in the far off
time, vaguely described as ''before the
end of the term"
The programme of Southern travel
of Mr.. Hayes and members of the Cab
met, now includes, it is announced by
authority, many short excursions North
and South, the headquarters being in
this city.
A trial closed here yesterday, which
has excited great local interest. Two
men had been arrested OF the charge of
keeping gambling house, and the place
broken up by the police This was the
result of an attempt made year since to
put stop to gambling. Yesterday the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and
as the accused could probably have been,
convicted if any of the profession
could have been, we may consider it GER
tain that punishment for gambling, with

yisit of Mr.. Jenkins, of Tucker Co, to
that place. He brought specimens
of asbhaltum, large quantities Of

think there is no doubt Of the existence
of oil in that section, the deposit of
asphalum being evidence of it.

we must depend on the city of Pitts
bnrgh and ourselves to build this
road, with, perhaps some little assist
ance from the Pennsylvania Central,
and we must have the Capital at
Clarksburg as an indncement to build
it thus far. Perhaps then, in the
course of time, the road would be
extended to Charleston. But to To-
cate the Capital at Charleston, with
the expectation of soon having rail
road running through to that point,
is an expectation that would not be
realized by the people Of this age or
generation.
And so it is. The people Of Charles
ton and the kanawha Valley cannot
blame MS for advocating Clarksburg
for the Capital. They cannot blame
the people of this great valley, which
comprises more than one-third ofthe
State, for going for their own inter
ests. AS citizen If the young State
of West Virginia and looking to her
best interests, we support Clarks-
burg because tfrat point is the near
est to the geographical centre of the
State on a great public thoroughfare
and because it is the nearest the CEN
ire of population of the State.
AS a citizen Of the Monongahela
Valley we support it, because its To-
cation there will tend more to develop
all our individual interests.
AS a citizen of Monongalia county
we support it, because Clarksburg is
100 miles nearer than Charleston, by
an air line, and from 500 to 1000
miles nearer by public routes usual
" travelled to that point.
Perhaps some of our readers
may consider these views as very
selfish, but "charity begins at home, y
and we have learned in the dear
school of experience, where fools only
learn, that it is best to take care of
ones self, instead of wearing out
your life's blood working for others.

CLARKsBURG is the centre of more
than twice as much business as

thistles in great abundance, they all stano

wide berth However, our thistle is not the
thistle of the Atlantic States. 1t has shorter
spines and bear q white blossom from three
to four inches in diameter 1t probably
possesses different qualities from those OF the old
familiar thistle, as none OF our domestic
animals touch it. Camels-which may now

there is good grazing ground for them in

the ground that there was no other OF his

cast for John Jochim should be counted for

As a regular thing Georgia does more legal
hanging, not to mention occasional lynching,
than any other State in the Union. Nearly
every Saturdays mail brings news OF some
victim, generally negro, being strangled IN
the presence of concourse of people, tor
Georgia still believes that public executions
are salutary. significant fact is that the
doomed persons are, as rule, ignorant and
irreligious, persons who committed crimes
because they knew TO better On the scat
fold they are generally very penltent, and 1t
is evident that timely training might have
saved some OF them at least from disgrace
full death The plain lesson of all this is that
Georgia should see to it that the emanclpated
negroes and the white sandhillers have the
advantage of schools; and that the missionary
societies, so anxious to carry salvation to the
isles of the Pacific, should expend some of
their money and zeal among the heather
nearer honey. Y. Sun.
