Secret Organizations.

CIaTkSDurg News.
In recent communication from q
Harrison county correspondent TO one
of our city papers, the declaration was
made that there were none OF that Green
back secret organizations in your county,
of which so much has been said OF its
political power in the Third district. |
believe he further said there was no
attempt there at forming such secret
leagues.
Perhaps he is right and knows where
of he speaks, but the story is in circula-
ton here that the GreenbaCker's are
forming clOSe-mouthed leagues right I'M
der your noses in Harrison, as well as
all over the State, and YOU don't know 4
hate about il. The rumOr goes on to in
fer it is not the Greenbacker's place to
let either of the other parties know their
plans. and il they choose TO snoOze
away like the old man in the woods in
iancied power and security, so much the
better for the secret leaguers. How is
this, ANYHOW? Maybe the Democrats
had better "look a leedle ont" just as Il
precautionary measure. As they used
TO say in France, always prepared for
war. YOU need never expect war 1t is
a good adage and may be followed with
benefit by the Democrats in West Nir
ginia. RoGE.

Senator II. G. Butler.

Grccnbricr independent
This gentleman left our county last
Monday for Fayette, in which county
he proposes to deliver a series OF lee
lures in the interest of the Patrons OF
Husbandry. So far as we have heard
any expression OF opinion, Mr.. Buffers
lectures in this county were highly in
S.ructIve, were endorsed most heartily
bv those who heard them, and had Il
tcndencev to do good. The constrast
between his lectures and those Of Mr..
Whitehead were very striking. The lee
lures of the latter gentleman had
pernaciOus tendency. His OBJ
ject seemed to be to array one
class of our citizens against another,
and, upon the whole, he has done
more harm than good in this county.
Mr.. Butler, on the contrary, by his
broad and liberal views, by combining
himself, i'm his lectures, TO those matters
which concern and interest the farmer,
as such, by his courtesy to all classes
and professions, and by his bearing as a
Virginia gentleman, has succeeded, to
some extent at least, in removing the
bad effects of Mr.. Whitehead's partizan
stump speeches. We understand that
Senator Butler will visit Monroe county
next We cordially recommend him to
the good people OF Monroe.

The Zion's Herald, Boston, in notice
of some new Methodist books, says that
DIR. Raymond's recent volume on The

in it." and that Gin some of the posi-
tons the ethics are questionable" The
Herald concludes its notice as follows;
On ecclesiastical matters DIR. Raymond
will provoke debate. He takes the mid
die and Methodist ground that every
church has power to create its own or
ganizatiOn, but declares that "Episcopa-
CIV was the natural growth from, and de-
velopment of, the state OF things inau-
gurated by the apostles" He suggests
there NAV be seven orders in our
ministry, but forgets the very chletest
of them all-judging from the debates
in the General Conference and before
1.-THE Presiding Elder. He declares
there is more difference between an
elder and a bishop than between an
elder and deacon. In word, he is
on all sides of this question, as most
Methodists are.
Nevertheless the Herald praises DIR.
RAYMoND's work as a whole and thinks
that sits slight variations from accredit-
ed standards will be forgotten in its
grand adhesion to all central truth, its
sweeping oratory, and ITS elevated tone. "

The "Big Greenbacker."

MaruuSDurg INDEPENDENT.
Mr.. Henry S. Walker, the "big Green
hacker" OF the Kanawha Valley, the
Rrqisig' calls him, has recently been in
terviewed, second time, by Il Register
reporter. His last interview is attract
ing considerable attention from the
press of the State. Mr.. Walker took oc-
casion to hint at the growing strength
of the Greenback party, and in a modest
kind of way to outline its course in the
election to be held IN this State IN 1880.
Mr.. Walker is one OF the shrewdest and
most energetic politicians IN the state.
He has both genius and brain, and Is
not equalled as a stump speaker, or as a
caustic. pungent and fOrcible writer. lie
is also splendid organizer, and having
for wears been a leader in the Democrat
IT, party, knows all its weak points, and
lust where to strike for effect. lie evil
IDENTIFY means business, and his capacity
for mischief is unquestiOned. We are
inclined TO think Mr.. Walkers great
expectations" as to the future OF the
Greenback party may safely besomew hat
discounted, but it is equally clear that
il the Democratic leaders plod along
with the idea that there is no danger
from that quarter, they will wake W
some fine morning TO find out how sad
" they have been mistaken. Mr.. Walker
declares that thousands of farmers and
laboring men no perhaps do not en-
tirely agree with the financial theories
of the Greenback party, will cast their
votes for its candidates on the other Is
sues which it will set forth in its plat
form, andin this he is not far from wrong.
All over the State there is Il restless, UNI
easy and dissatisfied feeling OF discon-
tent and disapproval OF the present
state of affairs among the masses OF the
people. We do not say there is any real
cause for it, but it exists nevertheless,
and none are more capable or ready to
take advantage of and utilize it to their
purposes than Henry ;. Walker and the
other brilliant and genial spirits whom
he has gathered around his standard.
He is a powerful ally ora dangerous an
tagonist. 1t is not OurprOvlnce to throw
out signal lights to warn either the
Democratic or Republican parties OF the
dangers ahead. This article has no
such purpose. We refer simply to
what we believe to be existing facts.
And. really, if the old party leaders
should see and recognize them, we don't
exactly see what they are going to do
about it,

A woman may be handsome, or re-

if she is not personally neat, she cannot

The recent sinking of several men-of-
war together, in South American waters,
recalls the battles of the. classic age,
when the recognized mode of fighting
was to " ram" the enemy's feet with
heavy prov of iron or brass, and the
sinking of half the beaten feet was quite
a matter of course. Modern warfare,
however, contains not few striking in
stances of the same kind. At the battle
of Sluys, under Edward III, an Eng
skh Grew, feeling their ship settling
down, boarded md carried the nearest
Frenchman just in tfme, their own YES
sci sinking the monnent they had quilted
her. Sir Richard Grenville, in 1886,
performed . similar feat, floating him
self IN raft alongside the heavy Span
ish galleon, whose guns had shattered his
light cruiser, and capturing her while
his own ship sank unheeded. A few
years later the same hero kept at bay
fifty- y-three Spanish sail for . whole
night with his single ship, the Revenge,
sinking four of them, and at length
bidding the gunner blow up his vessel
with allhauds. She sank, however, be-
fore the order could be obeyed. In one
of the great sea fights of the last
century,a French audi English ship
went down side by side before the crap.
plirg irons could be cast of, and very
few of either crew were saved.
