Bay A FooT ToURsAsEsr--We learn
from the Cbarlestown Spirit that
Foot Tournament under the auspices OF
the Young American Club at Kable'
town, took place on Saturday last. AT
1880, a. NJ. the procession Of the
knights took place, and more novel
sight is seldom seen than were these
gallant little knights arrsyed 10 their
beautiful uniforms, marching with elias
tic step, each little fellows face beam
ing with brightness, each one hoping to
be successful. The boys wore white
pants and jackets, blue sashes and ro-
settes, and blue belts trimed with white
stars. The following is list ofknigbts
and their names:
Master Logan y. Shut, son OF Col
Shut, Of Washington city, was Marshal
of the day. Wild Bay--James y. Jick-
son; observation-disclosures &. CoDklyn;
Knight of the South-Clarance &. KS
bic; EImwood-Charles s. Campbell;
Chester-Mason T.. Albin; Shsnnondale
John b. Jackson; Black Warrior
Ruben 4. Grub.
After a very spirited contest, in which
each knight acquitted himself handsome
ly, the following were declared victo-
rious:
Knight of Wild Day, crowned Miss
Annie Il. Conklyn queen Of love and
beauty; Shsnno ndale selected Miss Nan
ME Albin as first maid Of honor; Wheat
land chose Miss Bessie G. Albir az sec.
ond maid of honor; Chester chose Brs-
sic Conklyn as third maid Of honor.
Marshal Shut performed the coronation
ceremonies, very gallsDtly. The Qaeen
and her subjects did their part TO per.
fection. After the coronation the well
filed baskets was the next greatest al
traction, 10 which all did justice, espe.

long periods with this ouce famous
Washington beauty.
"a gentleman who has known Mrs.
Sprague from childhood said yesterday,
''She is as beautiful as ever l believe
she would discount Mrs Langtry in
point of beauty and accomplishment.
She was always an ambitious woman
probably more ambitious than any
American lady who ever lived. | do
not think, Mrs. Sprague is over 40 years
of age now. Though mother of child
rem she does not look TO be over thirty
years of age now. 1t is said her mar
riage was not alove match. The daugh-
ter of secretary of the Treasury, after
ward Chief Justice of the United States
and Presidential aspirant, Mrs. Spra-
que, it is said, married for position and
wealth. Indeed, when he met the belle
of Washington, as Miss Chase was call
ed, he was reported 10 own nearly the
whole of Rhode Island Mrs. Spragues
greatest disappointment in life was the
defeat of her fathers nomination for
President by the Cincinnati Liberal Re-
PUBLICAN Convention of 1872. She even
canvassed among Senators, Congress
men and others in behalf of her distin-
guishcd fathers nomination. Senator
Spraguo spent much money TO secure
this result. Mrs. Sprague loneed 10
be mistress Of the White House-as she
was of her fathers mansion. Alter the
Cincinnati Convention decided or Gree
ley instead of Chase, the latter died.
Then Sprague, Hoyt & Co, failed, aud
since then domestic troubles have en-
sued between the Ex-Governor and his
wife If the reports about Mr.. Conk.
ling's attentions to Mrs. Sprague are
true, it is no wonder that Mr.. Sprague
should feel incensed, and it is no won
der that he has not put stop to such
attentions long since

WEST VgRGINIA'S APPOR-
TIONMENr!

The Richmond Dispatch in replying
10 some structures of the Philadelphia
Bulletin upon the probability OF the
next census being used for giving ad-
vantage to the Republican party, makes
the charge that we were cheated out of
an electoral vote in the apportionment
of 1872, and if proper apportionment
had been made to West Virginia, shc
would have decided the Presidential!
contest so conclusively as TO dumbiound
even a 7xS electoral commission. Says
the Dispatch:
What have you 10 say as 10 the APP
portionment made by the Republicans
in 1872, when West Virginia was al
lowed three representatives, on popula-
ton OF 442,0l4-Vermont three upon n
population of 330,55lf Vermont has
a representative Cor every ITO, 0,lS4 peo-
pie. II West Virginia had been allow
ed four, each would have represented
ll0,500 people.
The Republicans thus provided by
villainy in 1872 the. means whereby
Hayes was elected in 1876. II West
Virginia bad not been cheated out OF
an electoral vote TilJen would not have
needed single vote in Oregon, Florida,
South Carolina, and Louisiana. We ask
for reply.
The Martinsburg Stafssman says:
LET TIE WRosG BE RIGnTED.-
have never favored the calling together
of the Legislature in extra session, but
in view of the fact that West Virginia
is entitled TO an additional member in
the national legislature, and that every
conservative vote 10 that body will be
needed TO save TO the people their her
itage of liberty, now menaced by tho
republican party in their purpose OF car
rying the next presidential election, aud
also the congressional elections, through
the PERSUASIVE POWER OF TdE BAYoSET,
the Governor of West Virginia should
be requested TO call together the Legis-
ture TO make temporary provision Tor
the election of member OF congress at
large, at the next general election, and
for the further purpose OF re-anangpg
the States territory into four congres-
sional districts.
Will our brethren throughout the
State give their views regarding the
above suggestion.
