One OF the Results.

One of our citizens has been in
correspondence with gentleman Of
Bridgeport, Connecticut, in regard to
the sale of lands in West Virginia.
and the resources of our State We
have been permitted to make an ex-
tract from a letter dated February,
oath, 1879. II shows that the atten-
tion of the people of the eastern
States is being directed towards this
section, and the effect the Outrage
millp Of the Republican party is
having upon us. The writer says:
II do not want land for specn}a-
ton, but want grazing land, as !
have two boys | wish to settle
There are many Of my friends that
wish to settle intthe same manner
4*'t* Some of our people are very
much excited over the resources Of
West Virginia, thatpeyer gave it a
thought before, and those that do
know anything about it have been
filed with stories from the press un-
til they think they would be muir
dered il they went there. The men
| speak Of are hard working, and
would make. gQnd. citizens. and have
from one ito five thousand dollars

We can assure the people of the
North or anywhere else that there is
nota word Of truth in the stories
circulatedein the lying Republican
newspapers about the i'll treatment
Of settlersin thisconntry. They are
told for political effect only. All
persons are cordially invited to come
and help Us cultivate our fertile hills
and valleys and develop our rich
mines Of coal, iron and other ores;
and their persons and property are
as safe, if not safer here, than in the
city Of Boston. Our lands are fertile
and cheap our climate remarkably
healthy and our. people hospitable.-

ton into bad company. But it only
goes to confirm what | said in regard
to school teachers wages; that any,

to free schools, but let that go for
what it is worth.
| wish to notice a few points in
Justices reply. He says he never
endorsed aLittle-sixteenn and never
will. We all know that Mr.. Justice,
but you admit that his head may be
level on some matters, but certainly
assumes one-sided position on the
above question. Not any more than
you assume on the other side. You
say ten years ago the average teach
er received $40 per month, and that
last year u tirst.class teacher receiv-
ed $40; this year $50, in Arbuckle
District You say | voluntarily for

showed that farm hands did not get

enumerated many things that are
not true. You say, because teachers
are allowed few holidays the yell is
raised that would chill the blood in
the veins of an Ethiopian Chimp
angee." G'agree with you. Every
American citizen should hold sacred
the nations holidays; but You forget
to tell us that teachers are the only
