The city Paving.

Ia the City Council fully satisfied
that the communication from Simmons
K Bro. Offering to do the work on the
streets thirty-three per cent cheaper
than it is done for is forgery ? The
Simmons Brothers, are we'll known in
this city, and we presume that they are
the parties who could best decide wheth-
er the communication was forgery,
but it is not known that they have been
consulted, though Mr.. McGliDchy says
that both Democrats and Republicans
said the signature was forgery. This
is rather thin excuse for partisan pur-
poses, especially when the Simmons
Brothers themselves and the parties
most interested pronounce the bid genu-
inc and are prepared to bind themselves
to any reasonable amount TO perform
their duty in satisfactory manner.
After all that was said upon the ques.
ton last night in Council there was
much of good practical common sense
in what Mr.. Wood from the Eighth
Ward said. Gentlemen said Mr..
Wood, "the Simmons Brothers are pre-,
pared to bond to any amount to do the
work in satisfactory manner for the
price named and that is all there 10 o.

sufficient 10 satisfy reasonable men, buI

Senator Wade Hampton has been In
terviewed by 3 New York "Herald"
man, and lie seems TO have had no hes
itation whatever in uubosomipg him
self upon the financial question, though
for himself he seems never to have
had any decided views Of his own upon
that subject. He wss however, though
always inclined TO be a hard money
man, Of the opinion that the Democrat
ic party had "coquetted with softmoney
doctrines quite long enough and had
lost steadily and descrvedly in conse-
quenoe." The shotgun Senator now,
that hs has seen the failure of bis party
to SUCCEED upon this istus is quite
willing to throw up his hat for Mr..
Bayard's IS resolution, for says he, "there
is absolutely nothing to be gained by
compromise with tho soft.money theo-
ry." Wise Wade Anything to win.
That to him is Democracy. Shot guns,
soft money, hard money, tissue ballots,
anything to win. He finds that honesty
has won, resumption has been a sue
CESS, and it Is now the policy Of his
party to shout with the majority. lie
would have been very willing to have
shouted with the Greenbackers, hut
they were annihilated at the last elec-
tion, and so no time must be lost for
his party to accommodate itself to the
party that is bound to win and call that
the Democratic party. Hampton is not
blind to the fact that the North has
some reason for looking upon the South
as being sat heart band Of repudia
tors"
The whole truth of the matter is, the
South is liks Wade Hampton. 1t has
no fixed notions Of honesty, propriety
or humanity over and above the word
"Democracy." 1t has no conscience
whatever, but it has bent its whole
energy to the suppression OF negro
votes, the consolidation of white su-
premRcy, the wiping ont Of its State
debts, and the obliteration OF all traces
ot Radical legislation" The dilemma
that the Democratic party is in the fact
that it has a solid South, with 1873 cleo
torsl votes, but without the semblance
Of honest principles. In the North it
mas large party and some little SEM
blance Of honesty, but it has no sure
electoral votes, and Al Of them it must
have to succeed in the election Of
Democratic President. How is it to get
them' The Democracy of the North
cannot make a platform Of principles SO
monstrous that the South would reject
it, but then it would not suit the North.
This is why the urbane Hampton is SO
flexible. "Go ahead in the North and
fix up platform Of principles that will
carry those A. needed votes, and the
South will be with you," is the sub
stance of his political principles. No
wouder husiness Inan distrust the
South, for they know whenever the
Democratic Iepudiators impose their
folly upon the party, the solid South
stands ready to help them.

A REPoRT is NOW going the rounds OF
the papers In the North that Senator
Bayard was captain Of a rebel company
OF militia in Delaware during the re-
bellion, and that he and other officers
of the company held commissions from
the Confederate Government. Not
Wishing that injustice should be done
to the Honorable Senator from Della
ware, it is no more than night and pro.
per that we should say that the report
has been exaggerated aud is only lit
tie more than half true. There is no
disputipg the fact that Senator Bayard
was acting captain of company Of me
litia formed from what were the Breck
iuridge Guards, but We hardly think
the officers were commissioned by the
Confederate States Government. The
company was uniformed in rebel gray,
often hurrahed for JEFF Davis, and it is
said when seven $ S,uthern States had
seceded, a salute Of seven rounds was
fired by the company in honor Of The
event. Soon after this exhibition Of
Mr.. Bayard's loyalty TO the Union, the
company was diaarmed by United States
troops, but we have never heard before
that the officers Of the company bore
rebel commissions. II we mistake not
gentleman now editing paper in this
city, OF the time, wanted to have the off
Ger arrested, tried for treason and shot.
Ir WILL be remembered by many that
when the question Of resumption Of
specie payment first came before Con
gress that Mr.. ,,Bayard's eloquent tongue
was not only silent, but his name
failed to DO recorded on the side OF that
honest and just measure. But now
how changed When it has provsn 70
he an undoubted success he out le!-
od s Helod in his devotion to what is
called sound financial Legislation, and
would have the nation believe that he
is the only sound fnaucier in the S4n-
ate. Willy Bayard !!

p. E. Church, this place, preached in
the Academy Hall Sunday afternoon.

Hon. GEo. c. STuRGIss has secured
large collection of ores, clays, sands,
limestone and fire-clays, and is desi-
rous of securing specimens of all 9th
er minerals that may be OF value,
with view to their use in offering
inducements and incentives to the
construction ofthe proposed railroad
by our foxeign capitalists. Let eve
ry one help and send in whatever will
be of interest. Mr., Sturgiss has al
so been engaged in procuring the
right of way for the railroad through
various properties here and we learn
has been successful. Our people APP
preciate the value of railroad and
are willing to give the right of way
and do anything else in their power
to get it. If we do succeed in the
enterprise as much of the credit for
procuring it will be due to him as to
any other man in the State.

TuNNELToN HoRRoR.-Joseph NJ
Ashby, resident of Fellowsville,
Preston county, was missed on the
Odd of October, since which time
search has been made in various
places and directions. A few days
ago report was circulated that he
had possibly fallen in one of the
shafts on Tunnel Hill, near Tunnel:
ton. A search was Mt once instituted
by the Sheriff of Preston county,
when man was lowered into tile
shaft by windlass, where at dis
lance of 125 feet below the surface,
the body of Ashby was found, to-
gether with many other strange
things. Mr.. Williams, the man who
made the descent, says no money
would induce him to repeat the trip.
There are several other parties who
have disappeared under mysterious
circumstances, and the other shafts
will be searched, and il is thought
something interesting will be devcl-
oped.

THE SPRINGER FoRrUNE-IS WHICH
THE JoLIIrrs OF MoNoNGALIA County
ARE INrEREsTEp.-The following arti-
Gle from the Pittsburgh Commercial
Gazette, we publish at the request of
Mr., Nathan Jollitfe, an old citizen of
this county, whose Grandmother was
Hannah Springer. The amount in
controversy is the enormous sum of
$S0,0o0,000 and we hope the Jolliffe
heirs in this county may succeed in
getting their full shares. The Pitt
burgh paper gives the following bit
of history in reference to the Spring
ers:
Before the outbreak Of the Amer
lean Revolution Baron Carl Christie
{ pher Springer was in suit with the
Swedish Ambassador, John Lien
berg, and went TO London to settle
the difference between Denmark and
Sweden. On arriving they were not
received but seized, put on board of
vessel and brought to America.
After while Carl Christopher
Springer, whose life can be found in
both English and American history,
settled in what was then called the
New Netherlands, aud took up tract
of $4,000 acres of land, including al
most the entire City of Washington,
Delaware and parts of Jersey City
and Brooklyn.
Charles or Carl Spri niger raised a
large family, who settled in different
parts of the United States and Can
ada.
The greater part of the landed es-
tate of Carl Christopher Springer's
family was leased in small parcels
for ninety-nine years. Elizabeth
Springer married Samuel Walker,
and they came out from Wilmington
in the caravan that brought the print
ing press of the old Pittsburgh Ga
zette in 1875, and settled at Eliza
beth, Pa. Major John Walker, whose
memory is identified with the growth
and progress of the Monongahela
Valley, was the son of Samuel Walk
er and Elizabeth Springer, and their
children are the oldest heirs living
to this estate, and are in a straight
| line of descent.
The children, eight in number, are
John Walker, ashington, ID. c.;
Maj. II, c. Walker, u. s. A.; Mrs.
John McDonnongh, Mrs. DR.. Penni-
| man, Mrs. Samuel Speers, Mrs. Sam
uel Frew, the mother of Mrs. j. II.
Miller, of Allegheny City, and the
wife of General Jas. A. Ekin,
daughter of Samuel Walker, decd.
Hon. VIM. Springer, NJ. c., is a
member OF this family also; NJ. NJ.
Springer, member Of Parliament,
Canada, is heir to this vast estate
The leases expiring at this time in
the cities of Wilmington, Brooklyn,
Jersey City and New York, are esti-
mated at $S0000,000. This, togeth-
er with the Stockholm Bank fund of
eight million dollars, left by the will
of the father of Carl Christopher
Springer, makes this Springer claim
one of the most stupendous ever put
forward in this country. The heirs
are in correspondence with the gov
eminent, and have an agent in Stock
holm, Sweden.

AS intimated by US lately we print
ed the last number of the Journal Of
Education last week. President
Thompson has sold its good will to the
New England Journal Of Education
which will fill out unexpired sub
scriptions and collect arrearages,
West Virginia now has no Educa-
tional publication that we are aware
of. This is a state of affairs to be
regretted as she is certainly in need
of a journal of that kind. However
we hope some enterprising individu-
al who has the ability, pluck and
means will give our State live Ed
ucational Journal.

GONG TO CHANGE INTo A NATION
AL BANK.-It was decided last
Wednesday by the Directors of the
Morgantown Bank to change that
institution from State to Nation
al Bank, with the name of the "Mor-
gantown National Bank" 1t will
probably be some weeks yet before
the change can be effected, though
it is likely all arrangements can be
made early in January. Mr.. Hof.
man, the Cashier, informs US that
the rate of interest will be six pei
cent, as required by the National
Banking Law, which no doubt will
add to the business and popularity
of the bank.
