Reduction of Prices to Suit Times.

The election of 1877 over, to congress will
all eyes turn to witness the course of political
events in America. Questions of vital inter-
est are pressing for settlement, and the dis
cussion bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects Of Finance, Pacicatlon,
Internal improvements, Ciyil-Seryic Reform,
and Mexican Border Troubles, &C., are among
those which must largely occupy the public
mind The proper development of the re-
sources OF the West and South, by means of
an improved condition ofriyer and railroad
transportation faeilitics-the utilization ofun-
employed labor in needed public works-the
encouragement of immigration to the fertile
lands ol the Great West. are matters of ma
tional. us well as of local concern. Scarcely
less important is the support of all measures,
by whomsoever originated, aided or indorsed,
giving to the Southern states full and free
control of their own ailars--the only policy
leading to permanent peace. The state leg
islatures, especially to elect United States
senators, will also be invested with interest,
as upon them and the elections of 1873 will
devolve the decision as to whether the reins
OF political power shall continue to be held
by the Republican party, the tenure of that
power now hanging by but a slender thread

Of the thinking, 'a Working J" 'DI people is

no effort to obtain and promulgate the most
reliable information relative to American pol
itics, the Republican Will maintain its past
reputation for the collection of all important
and interesting news from all quarters of the
globe. Affairs in tn" Eastern hemisphere,
now occupying so much attention, will not
be omitted in the design of making this pa
per regular chronicler of the exciting intel
ligence of the day and whatever enterprise
and lavish expenditure can do will be en-
ployed to produce st-class news and fam

The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1878-05-06

WHEELING, and West Virginia gen.
orally, ought to be proud of the action Of
her militia during the strikes Of last sum-
mer, for although their number was
small, they acted in such way as not to
bring any trouble upon the State by i'll
advised action or from neglect of duty.
The conduct of both officers and men was
such as to give general satisfaction. A
striking contrast is offered by
some of the officers of the Penn
sylvsnis troops. The evidence
brought out by the investis eating com.
mittee IN that State shows that General
BMNToN directly refused TO obey the
orders given HIM and by so doing he
created trouble for the whole community.
He was ordered to join Gen. GUTHRIE at
Eas! Liberty, but did lot doso. Had he
made the junction of the two commands
their force would have been sufficiently
large to have driven oil the rioters, and
all the damage winch was done after that
"Black Sunday could have been pre-
vented This alone goes far toward es-
tabhshing strong claim against the
State fer damages.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1878-05-06
SOUTHERN CLAINS.

Representative CHALMERS, of Missis.
sippi, in short speech, the other even
ing, on government encouragement to
important works OF internal improve
mcuts in the South, reminds the Demo
Gratis of the nation that, when the Repub-
Iicsns were in power in the Southern
States, Republican Congresses did not
hesitate to vote large sums out of the ma
tional treasury for such purposes, and
that single Republican Congress passed
Southern claims to the amount of one
hundred million doiLqrSl
Since the Republicans were so liberal
toward the South when they had abso-
Lutte control, Mr.. CHALMERS pleads that
the Democrats should have the courage
to be at least just toward that section.
His immediate appeal is in behalf of the
Texas Pacific railroad bill which does not
propose to take money from the Treasury.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1878-05-06

A woRKINGMAN recently wrote to the
Cleveland Herald on the labor question,
and in reply to it the Herald advocated
the completion o. the Government works
in that city, whereupon the correspond
ent wrote that such project was foolish
and would avail nothing. Another
worklngmsn, in commenting upon this
in the same paper, said that great num-
Der of men who were active in the labor
party did not desire to have the unem-
poyed men get work, and did not want
them to be satisfied and hourishing.
If they had good wages and plenty OF
the necessities of life there would be no
chance for the political agitators to use
them as tools to further selfish ends. He
concludes thus;
"When q lsboring man practically
says that he prefers that thousand ls-
bOrers shall remain Idle rather than
have them accept employment from the
Government, because it violates some
hslt-bsked notion Of political economy,

THE newly married men of Wheeling
had better be careful how they treat tin
pan serensders. 1t has been decided that
they are not outside of the protection of
the law, although such is generally be-
lieved TO be the case. JOSEPH II. MANN,
who lives near Leesbdrg, Va, was re-
Gently married, and the young men of
the neignborhood serensded him with
the usual instruments of torture. JOSEPH
put his head out of the window and said
he would shoot them if they did net leave
at once, and as they continued the up
roar, he fred five shots into the crowd,
killing the leader. When be was tried
for murder, his counsel set up plea of
justification on the ground that the mu-
sicians had insulted and annoyed the
owner OF the house, and would not leave
when ordered to do so. The prosecution
proved that this kind of serensds was
not only common, but MANN himself
had taken part in several of them. He
was found guilty of murder IN the second
degree.

THE BANKRUPT REPEAL.

The bin to repeal the bankrupt law,
which passed the Senate with whoop
and the House, slightly amended, with q
hurrah, has been suddenly checked in its
wild career towards becoming law. The
Senate wants other amendments now,
which it didn't think Of st first, aud yet
it hesitates to put them on.
Unquestionsbly the bankrupt act has
done much good IN its time but on the
other hand it has done an infinite deal
of harm, outwelghing the good thou
ssnd-fold. To few the repeal will be
productive OF inconvenience, perhaps Of
serious injury; but to the great mass Of
our business population it will be an I'M
adultersted blessing. 1t will do more
than any other act of Congress could to
restore that confidence between
buyer and seller in the mercantile
trade, for the lack of which the
business Of the past ten years, conducted
on the credit system, has been merely an
elaborate game of chance. 1t will raise
the standard of commercial integrity and
secure to the honest and enterprising that
advantage in competition to which hon.
esty and enterprise are entitled, but which
they have been compelled to forego while
the bankrupt act has been in force, and
fraud has been the favored protege of the
law. With an immense crop, and relief
from the bankrupt incubus, there ia little
reason why the country should not en-
bark at once upon an era of solid pros
perity.
