rG- THE BERKELEY TAlR.-The
Berkeley Agricultural Fair, which was
held at Martinsburg during last week,
was not attended with the success it
would have had, had the weather been
agreeable. The rain and stormy wealth
or prevented the carrying out the pro-
gramme laid down by its managers, as
also the attendance of the many who
would have been present. There was
very good display of stock &c, and
numerous premiums were awarded.
Mayor Ray of this town, received the
first premium upon his fine road wagon,
mentioned in our issue of last week, and
DIR. /. S. Tanner, near town, received
some ten or twelve frst-class premiums
for his fine Durham cattle exhibited.
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Snyder, of Berkeley coun-
~, received first premium upon his
beautiful three year-old stallion, Carl
incton;" and also sweepstakes upon his
fine herd Of Alderny stock. Hon. G..
]. Faulkner, received first premium on
his large Berkshire Boar The Fair
was continued until Saturday evening,
ON account vi the weather being SO dis
agreeable the days previous.

place at Morgantown on the 10th, be-
tween Mcssrs. Martin and Burr, oppos-
ing candidates for Congress in this.dis-

Fine weather and a big crowd of the
substantial and intelligent people of
MonOngalia county greeted Hon. i. +.
Martin ard Col. Frank &. Burr, the
Democratic and Republican candidates
for Congress in the Second District, III

gentlemen. and considerable interest had
been aroused in the coming event. The
result was, one of Che largest political
meetings ever held in the town.
The discussion was opened by Mr.. Mar
tin in strong argument in favor of the
substitution of the grccnback or govern
mcnt currency for that of the National
banks-and taking the Democratic doc
trine generally upon kindred questions.
He was followed by Mr.. Brrr in a sharp
and incsivc speech. Mr.. Martin rcjoined

This shows q balance sheet In our Ia
yor of near five hundred millions of dol
lars. Where has it come from? From
the economy and industry of our Peo-
plel and yet there is no ceasing Of the
wall of complaint of hard times, nor
does the evidences of it give away. The
husbandman labors, and God rewards it
by an abundant increase, yet the enter
prises of our country languish, labor re-
ceives but ordinary compensation, the
manufacturers are not growing rich, no
money of any consequence is spent on
our commerce, and our internal improve
ments are comparatively at a stand still.
We have shown where it comes from,
we feel confident we can show where 1t
goes to under the treachery and false
hood of dishonest and designing gov
ornamental officials.
We are told that our public debt de-
creased during the last month over six
millions, when the fact is, as is shown
by the enterprising editor OF the Phia-
helphia Times, our public debt has been
increased nearly twenty-three millions
of dollars. Are not these facts enough
to arouse the indignation and fury OF a
free, toiling and patient people, and to
induce them to hurl from place and
power men who attempt TO thrust false
hood upon them, and who to crafty a
political or personal whim, or advance
personal interest, as is evidenced by
governmental officials growing rich,
bring ruin and distress upon nation,
which has demonstrated its capacity to
produce and dispose of over two mil
lion dollars annually more than it con-
sumes. Where does it go to? To pay
interest upon an enormous public debt,
to pay numberless needless government
al officials, and an unnecessarily large
and costly standing army, nearly use
less and extravagant navy, with repre-
sentative salaries more than quadrupled.
These arc the pertinent patent evils that
must be remedied before we can get re-
lief and prosperity. Pay off our public
debt with the same character of money
for which our bonds were sold, without
regard to the fraudulent legislation which
has changed the terms; reduce the sala-
ries of most of our officials and the rep
-esentatives; reduce or abolish our use
less army, and modify our navy.
A toiling people will naturally grow
weary of oppression, when the evidence
of that oppression is shown and demon
strated to be unnecessary-woet to those
who bring it upon them! You will be
told it grew out of the necessities Of the
late war more than thirteen years have
elapsed since that war closed, and what
is our condition! Rapid, needless and
speculative contraction has reduced val
ues below what they were before the
war. Is not this an important fact
that must be considered in connection
with the causes of our business depres-
sion?

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN DOCUMENTS.
Secretaries Sherman and Evarts, as
has been noted, said after the Maine
election that the greenbackers would
absorb the democratic party. The
managers of the republican campaign
committee appear to think that it is the
republican party that will be absorbed
by the greenbackers, for the literature
which they are now sending out is di-
rected to the sole purpose of providing
with fine greenbackers the republicans
are. Mr.. Gorham, the secretary of the
committee, has started Tor Pennsylvania
with large supply of greenback docu-
ments, which he proposes to distribute
where they will do the most good.
Father Street Roman Catholic
priest, of Sharpsburg, Pa, has secured
$4,000 acres Of land between Little
Rock and Russellville, Arkansas, on
which he proposes TO locate a German
and French Catholic colony.
