No Need to go Abroad.

Latest news from Brazil brings
heartrending reports of the condition
OF the men who went out from Phil
adelphia to build the Marmore rail-
road. OF five hundred men only five
are able to work; all the others have
either died from fever or are so pros.
trated that they cannot perform duty.
Food is scarce, and those who can get
away are coming home as rapidly as
possible. This has been an Inflated
enterprise. The steamer Metropolis
carrying the advance guard of near
ly three hundred, went down at sea;
disaster has followed in her wake
The experience has been costly.
and we hope its lesson will not be
lost.
There is no need of any man leav-
ing this country to seek his fortune
elsewhere. There is room enough
right here for every man to make a
comfortable home for himself and
family. From Maine to Florida and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific there
is every variety of soil and climate.
There is scarcely natural product of
the old world that can not be natur-
allied and made to pay in the Unit
ed States. Millions of acres of cheap
land as good as the best are only
waiting for the axe and the pillow
share 10 transfer them into fertile
farms.
The great West bids daily for the
unemployed labor of the cities. West
Virginia, with its large and growing
facilities of rail and water transit, its
freedom from State debt and constit-
utional disability ever to incur any,
with its hundreds of thousands OF
acres of cheap and good land, is still
more inviting to the jewellers in the
crowded cities near at hand. With
80 many inducements at home no
man need exile himself from this
country to run into perilS that he
knows not of in strange land. Bet
ter be content to put his shoulder to
the wheel at home and stake his
chances on the outcome.-Regisier.

THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION

The Democratic judicial Conven-
tion for this District met at Grafton
on the 28th of August. After the
usual preliminaries had been dispos-
ed of Hon. John Basel, of Clarks-
burg, put the name of Hon. A. Brooks
Fleming before the convention and
he was chosen as the nominee with
out dissenting vote. Several high
~ complimentary speeches were made
in his favor. 1t seems that the CON
yention, as well as the voters of the
district, are unit for Judge Elem
ing's election. We are heartily glad
that he is so thoroughly understood
and his sterling worth so highly ap-
preciated. He is a marvellous sue
Cess in the discharge of his official
duties and ii is matter of self in
terest to his constituents to re-elect
him. In regard to his election we
consider it foregone conclusion.
The Republicans may put man in
nonnination, but it will be misera-
bic, lame effort. We know many Re-
publicans who win vote for Judge
Fleming and it is matter of credit
80 them to do so.

Senator Davis.

A Register correspondent writing
from Deer Park speaks in the highest
terms of our Senator, Hon. Henry G..
Davis:
The Senator has just returned from
Washington, where he was looking
into the treasury accounts. 1 did
not ask him what development he had
last made, but | was told that he had
a cosus beM for the Republicans after
the 4th of March. Davis is the strong
est type of self made men. Neither
the dignity of exalted office, nor the
accumulation Of honest wealth have
wrought change in Henry G. Davis.
Such men as this have made America
great, grand and glorious. Henry
Clay never forgot that he had been
''the mill boy of the slashes," Andrew
Jackson never forgot the two emf
grants who called him son. Away
with "high toned" craftsmanship
when common sense and hard blows
have made us, as a nation what we
are.

New York reports. indicate.eonsid-
cradle decentralization among the Re
publitans.there. Even.the National
Republican, of Washington, strong
friend of Senator Conkling, as it is,
reminds that distinguished enemy of
the Administration that the Repub-
licans of New; York are not numer-
Gus enoughs to Make two parties.
From Maine comes many prophecies
that one or more Congressional Dis
tricts will be lost to the Republicans.
In fact, at ano time since Congress
adjourned have there been so many
evidences, of Republican discussions
in various parts of the country.

Shooting ARRAY.

A shooting ARRAY occurred at Cum
berland last Friday which resulted in
the death of A. II. Blackiston, son-in-
lawof Judge Pearre. T. Cook Hugh
ey lawyer of Cumb erland, a short
time previous had some trouble with
Judge Pearre and Blackiston thought
it his duty to punish him and proceed
ed to Hughey's office for that purpose.
After beating Hughey, he was order
ed out and instead of going renewed
his attack upon Hughey when the
latter drew his revolver and shot
Blackiston through the heart killing
instantly.

and in less than moment he struck
me on the back of the neck, on the
coat collar, with great force. What
he struck me with / could not see and
don't know for my back was direct
ly toward him, but it was something
pretty heavy, more like pumpkin
than anything else / can think Of.
1t may have been his head or it may
have been his fist; so it was, the
force was so great as to shove or push
me suddenly forward with great vio-
lence on my face and breast, the fall
Earring and hurting me very much.
Sturgiss' momentum was so great, in
his effort to reach me before got in
to my Office out of his reach, that he
could not and did not check up until
he passed me some fifteen or twenty
feet. AS soon as fell and could look
up / saw Sturgiss about fifteen feet
from me coming back towards me in
great fury and anger, with his
fist raised and clenched, still NUT
tering vengeance. got myself up
quickly and then. for the first time
thinking of the revolver in my pock-
ct, and feeling that / had done all l
could to get away and avoid difficult
ty and danger to my life ard limb,
and had "retreated to the wall" and
could retreat no farther in safety, and
firmly believing that my life Was in
great peril, and seeing no one pres
ent to defend me. | determined to
defend myself as best could against
such mad bully,and thereupon |
hastily drew the revolver from my
pocket, raising it and pointing it
towards HIM, telling him to "stand
back! stand back y" He was then
three or four or perhaps five feet
from me. Just the N Sheriff Hack
ney, Ia large and stout mani it seems
seized Sturgiss, although | did not
see Hackney at all for he was direct
ly behind Sturgi,s, and threw him
back little from me and held him,
and one of Sturgiss' confederates, or
at least aiders and abettors, seized me
with great violence, cursing me and
wrenching the revolver from me, tell
ing Sturgiss to give it to me, &c. Stur
giss was delivered over to the mayor
and TINS the disgraceful and wicked
affray ended, except that said Siur-
giss has been since heavily fined for
breaches of the peace by the mayor
for each of said assaults. And now,
in conclusion, permit me to say to
the public generally, that while |
greatly regret the occurrence; that
yet | could not under similar circum-
stance and pvrils to my life and limb,
do otherwise again, and that while
did not intend to shoot Sturgi5s, nor
would not have done SO unless he
came upon me in his threatening and
savage manner and unless | believed
it absolutely necessary to do so to
save my life, CT my body or limb
from great. injury and peril, yet
had determined he should MOI, while
in his usual good health, beat, bruise
and abuse me any mUr e.if l could
help it, and | may. say that / am
glad, however, that 1T has ended as
it has, for hope it has ended.

= Sherman, last week, attempted to
answer Senator Humans speech
opening the Ohio campaign. 1t is
told of one of our early ministers to
France that, when some one said he
was to fill the place left vacant by
Franklin, he replied that he should
occupy it, but heS did not !expect to
fill it. That was not the kind of a
man that would gosaround the coun-
try as Sherman does, seeking conflicts
with the ablest men Of the time.

The Potter Committee, it is said,
will not meet again until October
and then in Washington. At that
time, says the New York Times, the
Sherman letter will be produced.
There is no doubt Sherman wrote the
letter. He was in such a state OF
mind from November, 1876, to March,
1877, that he would have written
anything.

What Democracy has Done.

With majority only in the lower
house of Congress, and with the SEN
ate against them, the Democrats have
compelled the RECOMMENDATION of sill
yer; stopped the further destruction
of Greenbacks: passed bill in the
Fl ouse requiring the Government to
receive greenbacks the same as gold
in the payment of duties: diminished
a large standing army, and thereby
saved millions of money; reduced
enormous salaries, and cut off eX-
travagant perquisites OF high army
officers, and thus saved millions
mure.
They have economical all appr0-
priations by government-and have
thus broken up innumerable theiv-
ing rings which fattened upon the
govern ment and the distresses of the
people thus saving millions more.
They have taken the sword and
the bayOnet from the Threats of the
Sout hern people, and thus permitted
them again to assume selfgOvernment
and reinstate prosperity-thusr estor-
ing trade by which the Northern
people in times of Dem oCratic gov
eminent and in the future will again
make hundreds of millions of profits
for the people of the North.
! The mocratic party in Congress
has proposed and enueavored to pass
every possible measure of economy
and reform, and has been defeated in
its full purposes only by the opposi-
ton and 0bstinacy of a Republican
Senate and President.
There is not a just and proper
measure of reform that the Democrat
ic-Greenbacker favOrs that has not
in the past been and will in the flu
fure be supported by the old Demo-
cratic party. Why hen should any
man, and particularly workingman,
abandon it? Every vote given by a
Democrat to the National party.
gives the Republicans just that much
better chance to continue the very
policy by which tho country has
been brought to its present condition.
The Republican party has done this
evil, and now when the Democrats
have undone good portion of it,
and are in position to destroy the
suicidal policy and restore the coun-
try to its former prosperity, every
man who has suffered by the hard
times brought about by Republican
legislation on the money question,
and by Republican mismanagement
generally, should assist the Demo-
cratic party in making the over
hauling and renovating of the gov
eminent, thorough and complete.
|
The cry of distress still comes up
from the fever stricken south. Up to
this time nearly 1000 cases have been
reported in New Orleans. Some 9TH
| er cities and towns have been afflict-
ed even worse than that. From many
nothern cities and towns liberal de-
nations in money and supplies have
been sent aud we are glad to say con-
tributions are still being made.
