WOULD MAKE a GOOD EDITOR OF
TIE "INTELLIGENCE

A gentleman writes 10 the ROOSTER
from Buckhannon, Upshur county, en-
closing communication printed in a
New York temperance paper called the
LiUing Issue, which makes most scurrl-
lous attack upon the people OF West Nlr-
MS. The article was dated "PhIlppi,
West Nirginis,' and bears the name OF
"Epw. :. TAFT" Our friend says IN his
note: "Probsbly you will consider the
writer too insignificant 10 notice. but IN
case you decide that such Al article ss he
has produced should not pass unno'iced,
] thought that the REGIsTER would be
the proper paper in which sn answer
30 the srticle should sppesr, AS its circu-
lation is more extended titan any other
paper"
AS the REGIsTxR hiss very lsrga cir
culston in every part Of the State, much
"more extended than any other paper"
ss our correspondent righIiulIy observes
we think it proper to transfer this sttsck
upon the good name of the people
of West Virginia bodily to our col
umus for their information If what Is
set forth contains any truth, it behooves
the people to lose no time IN correcting
the abuse; hut if the sriicle is one tissue
of fslsehoods and low scurrility, the su-
thor should be lead by the ear beyond
our borders and turned out 10 browse on
thistles, or else be condemned 10 edl. the

in regard to the rights of the bondhold-
ers, duty of the lsboring classes, and the
policy that should be pursued by
capitalists 10 counteract the effect Of an
ticipsted legislation On the silver ques-

menace to utter on this floor, but in be-
half OF every lsborer and every owner

as value their investments, that when
these doctrines OF despotism are sought
TO be enforced, this isir land will again
be convulsed in agony and the fires OF
liberty will blaze forth as they did one
hundred years ago in defense Of the nat
ursl rights of man. Applause in the
galleries. May the wisdom of our faith

such an issue but If it shall come, II in

suit will only add one more Instance TO
The long catalogue of human crime and
folly, where svsrice. like ambition, over
leaps itself, and in its unholy attempt 10
rob others of their possessions, loses It's
own. Great applause in the galleries.

CORRESPONDENCE OF the Register
The County Court Is still grinding
SWAY, and but little business has been
done AS vet. The Grand Jury WAS dis
charged Thursday. There were ninety
nine indictments found, one OF which
WAS for nuisance, one for carrying con-
cealed weapons. one for petit larceny,
one Tor malicious mlsCliei, hve tor AS
ssult and battery, and uInety ior selling
ardent spirits. Mr.. ThOs. Prendergast,
OF this place, had twenty-five indictments
found against him tor selling ardent
spirits. The Grand Jury was especially
hard on the Maj nington druggists
There are two drug stores in the place
lenough should think for stown OF 600
inhsbitsnts) one kept by Mr.. :. ii.
Chsltsnt, and the other by DR.. j.
g. Dent. There were twenty-tour
indictments found against Mr.. Chsltant
for this otfense, and it was rumored that
he. TO eysde the lsw, had left this State
and taken up his abode IN OHIO, but We
hardly think the rumor reliable, Is we
hsye no idea Mr.. c. intended to fee from
the officer when he left Warrington, but
only eft on a matter OF business. There
were also twenty indictments found
ayainst DR.. De~t, and ne confessed Ju X
ment on sll and paid into Court the
handsome sum of $40 in satisfaction OF
the fines, costs, etc. The officers OF the
Court, IS they were doing something OF
q wholesale business, and being friendly
disposed 10 DR. Dent, made reduction
IN their tees, which reduced the smoUnt
70 four hundred and forty dollars. Thus
is the largest number of indictments ever
con lessed and paid of in one Court.
Most of last week WAS consumed IN the
trial of bsstsrdy case against Mr.. Ms
hsfey. This csse was concluded on lssi
Saturday evening, The jury, alter
short deliberatiOn, - Is usual IN such
cases, returned verdict ot guilty, snd

curity, entered into the required bonds.

SENATOR VOORHEES, SPEECH.

Senator VOORHEES, made mis- first
speech in the Senate, yesterday, in sup
port of his resolutio IN declaring the i'm
portance of maintaining the financial
credit of the nation, and that, TO this end,
the government itself should IN good
faith keep all its contracts entered into
with its own citizens. Like all the
speeches Of the Tall Sycamore OF the
Wabash" 1t is replete with wisdom and
eloquence. 1t shows up IN a mastery
manner the bad faith and legalized rob-
berry practiced by the bondholders In Sc
curing the payment Of the bonds in gold;
the false pretenses by which silver WAS
demoneLized; the ruiDous effects OF
the resumption act, and the wrongs
inflicted on the people BY the
National banking act. Senator VooR-
HEEs pays his respects 10 Secretary
SHERMAN and shows plainly the lstter's
duplicity in connection with the govern
ment bonds, denouncing him as the
author of an act which constituted the
two-fold crime Of repudistion and extor-
tion, according to SHERMAN's own admis-

Take q small saucepan, and. having
made little pool of water upon q
wooden stool, set the saucepan upon it;
