GRAFTON LETTER.
Republican judicial and Legislative Con
ferenees Yesterday.

GRAFTON, w. Va, August 30.
Correspondents Of the lntellIgeneet.
a convention Of the Republican party
OF The Second Judicial Circuit was held
here to-day. John W. Mason was made
Chairman and p. A. ROllrbaugh Secretary.
Several counties not being represented,
the convention adjourned to meet here on
Saturday, September 7th. Hon. Edwin
Maxwell, Of Clarksburg, is likely to be the
candidate. lie il u man Of considerable
experience and fine ability. Should he
accept the nomination he will be elected.
twill be remembered that Hon. Thos.
Harrison, the Republican candidate for
Judge, carried this circuit six years ago
(the last election for Julge), but was cheat
ed out OF the place by Judge Lewis. The
Board ofSupervison OF Wetzel county, In
ascertaining and reportingthe result OF the
election In that county, made an error OF Il
hundred votes against Harrison In calcula-
ting the votes. This error was not detected
until after the result OF the election had
been declared Us required by law and re.
ported to Gov. Jacob. A corrected report
was forwarded to the Governor in a few
days, but he held TINT the Board OF Super
visOrs had no right to amend or correct its
report. This one hundred votes gave Har-
risOn about fifty majority. The commits
sion was given to Judge Lewis, and he
held the office until the time Of his death.
The Democrats prate great deal now
a-days about persons holding Offices
to which they were not elected, but here
was u case where 1t was notorious that the
person holding the office was not elected
by the people. No one ever pretended
that Lewis received u majority Of the
votes.
A conference OF the Republicans OF the
Delegate district composed of the counties
Of Harrison, Barbour and Taylor, was had
here to-day. 1t was agreed that Taylor
county was entitled to this Delegate, and
candidate should be selected by the Re-
publican Convention OF Taylor county.
Hon. Jesse ii. Gather is favorably men
toned us the candidate. George Reynolds,
Of Taylor county, is the Democratic candi-
late. 1t is charged that he packed the
which nominated him. He
cannot carry the strength OF his party.
Col. Gather can trot him without ditli-
guilty.
The Grecnback fever prevails in two
districts OF our county. Itprcsents fine
ield for demagogues and they are i'm
The Democratic party is PAN
icring to it and trying to capture the
party, but it is said they will not succeed.

Correspondence Of The Intelleeneer.
Pursuant to call issued by Mayor
Caldwell, meeting was held in the Court
House on Thursday evening to take into
consideration the raising of funds towards
the relief Of the suffering poor in the
Southern States from the terrible scourge
Of yellow fever.
On motion, G. w. Caldwell was elected
Chairman, T. II. Marks, Secretary, and
Thomas Everett, Treasurer.
On motion, the following ladies and
gentlemen were appointed to solicit contri-
buttons: Mrs. j. G. Jacob, Miss Annie
HALEY, Miss Mary wylie, Miss Carrie
Harris, Miss Daisy Crothers, Capt. W. R.
Cope, Henry Haney and II. W. Crothes.
The Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer
were authorized to act as committee to
ascertain what point in the South is in the
most need OF funds, and to exercise their
best Judgment Us to where to send the
contributions.
q TTuuii bpIhG GtthpS Nhc "SShhib "eo ASs
us large IN numbers as 1t ought to have
been, but what few persons there were
present did well. Fourteen gentlemen
gave IN aggregate Of twenty-five dollars
and fifty cents.
The people Of this part Of the United
States ought not to turn deaf ear to
the cry that comes up from the distressed
sections OF the South. While We are a
favored people, being free from epidemics
and pcstilence we know not what hour
that we may be destitute; disease, fire and
insects are no respecters Of persons: 1t
Is inhuman 10 make fiimsy excuses about
this, that and the other thing, why we
should not contribute according to our
means, as one will occasionally hear from
the lips OF those possessing an adamantine
heart and anarrowi contracted DISPOSE
ton.
The ladies' ofBrooke county met at the
court-nouse yesterday to make arrange:

the county fair. Considerable interest
was manifested. The Fair promises to be

Mate Armstrong, OF the Porter, Heard
From.

GAnIroLs, o., August 9O.-Thc Lizzie
johnson brought up the sad news this af-
ternoOn that Andrew Armstrong, mate Of
the Porter, whose desertion OF the boat /
tclegraphed you last night, was seen last
night twenty miles below sick in skiif,
with a man who was taking him to
Huntington, West Virginia. He was
lying down unconscious, and vomit-
Ing the dreadful black yomit which nc
companies the yellow fever. Armstrong
was yesterday provided with fifty dollars
by friend from Pittsburgh, and was using
his best endeavors TO reach his home ut
Louisville. The man who had him in
charge said his mission ended with him
when he arrived with him at Huntington.
Thus the last OF the crew has been smitten,
and the Porter lies moored to the bank, q
terror to all who see her.
Shepherd Sheldon, watchman from this
place, who stood by Armstrong, has been
iaken down sick at his home in this city,
and, 1t is feared, with the same dreadful
disease, rs 1t is reported that Lee Wood,
the other watchman, Is also down, though
| could not definitely ascertain 1t to be 30.
II is the prayer OF many that lightning
might strike the plague-smitten Porter
and consume her as demon OF destruc-
ion to human life.
