In order to place THE WEEKLY
PRESS within the reach of the Repub-
ican voters of the States, the price has
been reduced to One Dollar and
Twenty-Five cents for the year, by the
single copy, or to One Dollar for the
year, by clubs.
THE PRESS is thoroughly devoted to
the principles of the Republican party,
and maintains the Rupublican organ
ization because it believes that the
prosperity and progress of the people
cannot be safely intrusted to any other
existing political organization. Dur
ing the year 1880, the most stupendous
political conflict of this epoch will
take place. Upon its issue will depend
thepolitical destiny of the country for
many years.
THE PRESS steadily resists the aims
of the "Solid South" which is now
organized to capture the Executive, to
retain Congress, to remodel and con-
troll the Supreme Court, and to subor-
dinate every public interest to the
overmastering purpose of controlling
the policy of the Nation, and thereby
gaining by legislation and peaceful
means what it lost on the field. THE
PRESS enforces the duty of preserving
in full force the Constitutional Amend
ments made to secure the fruits of the
war; upholds the right of every law
voter to free, and unbought exercise
of his right; infiexibly insists upon an
honest return of the votes cast; justi-
fies the use of all necessary means to
prevent fraudulent voting and fraudu-
lent returning of votes; accepts as
fundamental the equal right of every
II 81 "A fn ,frnf l,x
the law of his political as well as civil
rights, maintains as wise the Repub-
lican policy of Resumption and
honest financial legislation; defends
as sound the policy of Protection to
American Industry; and, in general,
follows whithersoever the Republican
principle leads.
Special measures have been adopted
to STRENGTHEN THE PAPER in all its
departments.

Who is Responsible for the Outrage ?
Correspondence Of the Register.

WHEELING, December 8, 70.
The Constitution Of the United States
guarantees to every citizen the right and
liberty to worship God according to the
dictates of his conscience, without any
permit from the Mayor Of Wheeling.
The question presented theoretically is,
are SpirituaIsts, as they are called, a re-
ligious denomination as contemplated
by the Constitution Otthe United StatesF
II they are, they didn't require permit
from the Mayor to perform their re-
ligious acts of faith at the Opera House
Sunday night. Ii they are not relig-
ious body as intended by the Constitu-
ton, then they required a permit or
license to act, because it lisa secular cor
poration, representing money, and not
the moral and religious interests of any
BODY of people, or any community OF
interest, except a mOnied one.
The Christian people OF Wheeling,
nav, all classes of our people, con-
denim the conduct of the Mayor
in meddling with such an exhibition on
the Sabbath day; and the indignation
everywhere expressed throughout the
CITY, on yesterday, was severe and IN
tense against him. Had he any author
ity to issue the permit? Why not issue
permits to opera troupes too, 10 perform
on the Sabbath day?
1t does seem TO me, and great many
people coincide with me in my views OF
the matter, that Council should hold
him responsible for this unwarranted
exercise of official authority, and let
him know in emphatic terms, that he
has transcribed his official duties, not
only in this instance, but in many more.
Have the people no rights or inter
ests that the Mayor is bound TO re-
spect? The dissertation OF the Sabbath
is one of the standing crimes against
Wheeling anyhow, and that dissertation
still augmented by the conduct OF their
highest city official, is an outrage We
are not willing to submit TO without
protest.
Will the City Council investigate this
matter in the interests of the best classes
OF our citizens, or will the Mayor be al
lowed to inaugurate a city government
of his own and run the thing in an i'm
perialistiC channel2

VINO stole the Records

We see a great deal OF talk in various
weekly papers in the city in regard to
the PROPOSED building to be erected on
the Court House lot, by Messrs. K. g.
Barr add w. P. Hubbard and frequent
illusions to records that have been
spirited surreptitiously away" 1t
would seem, from these articles, that in
an old order book of the County Court
was entered an order reserving 40 feet
Of ground on each side OF the Court
House. This has been "surreptitiously
spirited away"
So far, good. But who saw the order
and who did the "spiriting?" Mr.. Hook
was asked about it, yesterday, but knew
nothing oft. Order book No. q has
no such order in it, and to the knowl-
edge OF those about the Court House,
never did. Who ever saw that orderI
The officials would like to know.

RIVER INTELLIGENCE.

River last night s ieet 6 inches and
about stationary.
The Andes leaves this afternoon as
usual for Cincinnati.
The Belle Prince passed up yesterday.
She is doing local towing.
The Diurnal arrived at 10 p. N. yester-
day, with large trip OF both passengers
and freight. Among the latter was 20
600 feet of walnut timber. On her down
she distanced the Buckeye State, which
is rated as one of latest stern-wheelers
on the Western waters. On her up trip
she served the Andes, not slow boat,
by any means, in the same way, at the
foot of Buckhill bottom. She is making
a good record, and working admirably.
Some slight alteration was made IN her
machinery on Sunday, since which the
engineer says she is as nearly perfect as
a boat can be.
When the Diurnal passed Roland s
Race on her down trip Saturday even
ing the Fearless and barges were
aground there. Yesterday on her up
trip the Diurnal passed the same boat
aground at the Muskingum river bar,
and the Ironsides was endeavOring to
get her loose, with good prospects OF
success.
The Barnard and barges are waiting
for the rise at Blennerhasset Island.
The Whale passed Parkersburg with
a portion Of her tow Sunday.
Some parties in the Sixth ward have
lust completed mammoth side wheel

out his curiosity was fully satisfied.

ence of a towboat on her way up.

washington Loan Exhibition.

The little city OF Washington, Pa, is
not surprisingly beautiful at its best.
Nature has done much and art but little
toward enhancing its charms, but 1t GER
tainlv looked anything but charming on
Saturday, as the raging Hempfeld de-
posted REGISTER reporter ON the plat
form in driving rain. But things
looked brighter after warm breakfast
at Tom Halls Fulton House and after
the storm cleared away.
Washington has loan exhibition that
has been open since Thanksgiving day,
and is withal perfect success. 1t has
been said il is better than the one at
Steubenville, but in justice to our river
neighbors we must say this is not so. 1t
is, however, a very Creditable affair, and
considering the short time in which 1t
was gotten up, exceedingly so; and the
Washingtonians have thrown them
selves INTO it with an ardor
that would excite admiration. Why,
even the members of the managing COM
mittee pay the admission fee, as well as
the reporters for the local papers
Beside the various and numerous ar
ticles on exhibition, of which, as we
cannot give a lengthy one, we give no
description at all, there is singing and
other entertainments. Some Wheeling
people went up there on "Wednesday
and sang, and were sat upon by the Re
porter man, who has pcnchdm for bal
lads, You know. The singers still live.
The Westinghouse can appreciate good
music, and they were pleased.
Further, beside the articles on exhibT-
ton, are numberless pretty girls in
charge, who are willing to tell all they
know about the exhibition and other
things. They are the most pleasant
parts of the show. Oneof them told the
writer a certain pistol in her charge was
used by Adam, and she thought he be-
lieved it as well as she did. She had a
prosperous imagination.
The exhibition closes on Friday next,
and in the meantime visit will repay
any of our readers.

Robbery.

On Saturday night, the residence Of
d. NJ. Alexander, % Fifteenth street,
was burglarized. The thieves gained
admission by a rear door, and thoroughly
ransacked the lower premises. Several
coats and overcOatS. lot OF china and
silver ware, besides numerous other
things, were carried off. MIR. Alexander
is OF the opinion that more than one
person was engaged in the theft, as more
was taken than one person could han
die. No clue, Of course, to the robbers.
