ing their uonnaions irrespective Ct the subse'
quent action Of the Sreenhackers Of that city is
certainly utqneslionab'e, but considering tho
fact that the grand oil sct Of the lIue friends Of

feat OF the radicals. and repem bering the small
vote the straight democratic ticket received 10
Bangor st the last election, wo cannot help
thlLking that they would have pursued wiser
oour'e If they had waited for the greenbackers
and made sloh arrangements with them as
would kavJ tcudad 10 secure The chief purpose
Of the Campaign. The democrats of Wisconsin,,
We see, have adopted this pIao, and will doubt
less prot: by il. Tho true and wiso policy to
be pursued by the democrats from this timo
until after the nex! presideniisl election is to
sink al MOOR differences and unite all tho DOS.

ordtr that tho supreme effort Of the party nay

ditefetce Of option on the currency question
among republicans as there is among democrats,
but the former haYo been visa enough to ignore

molt until after th, u,x: national election.
Why cAL't the dem ocrats do likewise ? They
Certainly have plenty of other good issues Don

John II. Holt, the Democratic
Greenbacker Of Preston county, is
winning laurels for himself in the
West Virginia Legislature where he
has been sent by the heretofore Re
publican county of Preston. His pd-
sition in regard to the Texas Pacific
Railroad shows his good sober sense
and discriminating judgment. We
confess our surprise that legisla-
ture composed almost entirely of
Democrats and Greenbackers should
allow themselves to be "bamboozeled"
into favoring such a swindling mos
nopoly rs the Texas Pacific Railroad
"a scheme which is only intended
to put money in the pockets Of north
ern capitalists and would not benefit
West Virginia copper. AT any rate
it looked to us at the start, reasona
bic to suppose, that our Representa-
tives in Congress would know better
how to vote upon the question than
the legislature could tell them.
The Wheeling Register, in speak
ing of Mr.. Hollis speech on the sub
ject, says:
Mr.. Holt made one of the most for
chile and eloquent addresses that has
been yet heard in the walls of the
State House. He considered this
matter as of vital Importance to
West Virginia and to the nation. He
hid voted against the original reso-
luton, and had voted from principle
solely, knowing nothing of its merits
or dement's. lie did not believe in
the Government to enter into matters
Of this kind. There was only one
light to guide us and that was the
light of experience. Our experience
was easily told, and embraced the
credit mObilier, scheme that black
ened our politics, and caused the fin
yer III diSS dOc W Dc poiHbtd ny opi-
er nations. The bill wished to COM
nit the great Democratic party to
such thing as will set such a seal
of condemnation upon the projectors,
as they can never break, 1t gives
certain persons a right to put their
hands into the public treasury and
scatter the public funds broadcast
over the land and to fill the Golfers of
gigantic spectators. He honored
the gentleman from Barbour for
championing the weak and coming
to the rescue of the oppressed, but he
was mistaken in bringing strength
to a monopoly that does not need it,
and sympathy to monopoly that
does not deserve it. 1t was not be
slowing sympathy upon the South to
work for a Northern company and
capital, and he hoped West Virginia
would not lend herself to such a thing
as this.

Some Objections.

The proposed new judiciary system
is Objectionable because it does not pro-
vide Tor an intermediate court between
the Justices and the Circuit Court. 1t
is Objectionable because every petty
case amounting to ten dollars can be
appealed and every case amounting TO
twenty dollars can be certified to the
Circuit Court. This must result in
clogging the wheels of Justice, so far as
the Circuit Court is concerned, with
numberless p tty cases to the delay of
important suits and to the vexation of
suitors. 1t is Objectionable because it
reduces the salary of Circuit Judges to
$1,000 per annum. No lawyer, who is
worthy of being Judge, can afford to
drop his practice for such paltry sum
IA sum at which common book keep
er would turn up his nose. Take this
circuit f + instance: as at present con-
stItuted it costs our Judge $400 or $500
year for railroad fare and board while
travelling the circuit, and yet some of
our law makers would reduce his salary
to less than that of ii second class postal
clerk. Is it to be expected that law
yer, whose practics will bring him 49,
900 year, will accept a position on the
bench that will bring him only one
third of that sum? What will be the
legitimate end ofsuch parsmonif us pol
icy? 1t will result in elevating tojudi-
cial honors the pettifoggers and shys.
tiers of the bar
The Circuit Court as at present CON
stituted is satisfactory to the people.
But they want the magistrates given
final jurisdiction in petty and unim-
portant cases, with privilege reserved
to either party in suit to call jury
tt is will afford a means of settling all
little difficulties among neighbors in a
satisfactory and inexpensive way. Then
if there is an intermediate court, presid
ed over by man learned ia the law
with jurisdiction in matters involving
say $50, with final jurisdiction in suiti
involving less than, say 800, we be
lieve that the people would accept it ir
a spirit Of thankfulness. GRAFTON Ea

The West Virginia Legislature re
Gently passed a resolution instructing
our Senators and Representatives in
Congress to vote for the Texas Pa
cific subsidy swindle and now have a
bill under consideration to regulate
the prices that newspapers shall
charge for advertising and are trying
to fix them at starvation rates. The
action of this august body is certain
ly very consistent ard shows its ap-
probation Of the papers. This fact
is all the more striking when it is re-
membered that a majority of them
owe their election to the newspapers.
The price Of advertising, like other
commodities, regulates itself and is
generally paid for according to its
value. AS general thing newspa-
pers are poorly Paid for their serv-
ices and rarely overcharge. We will
wager our old hat that the persons
who originated this bill and those
who vote for it will be remembered
by the press of the State, and the next
time they run for office will be laid
out aud carefully shelved for an in
definite period.

SO far as we can see, the proceed
ings of the Legislature, as given by
the Wheeling dailies and copied by
our enterprising country contempora-
ries are of no interest to our readers,
hence we give general news and only
the more important acts of the Leg
islature. The bills as reported are
given by number and a Philadelphia
lawyer could not tell anything about
them. 1t is a comparatively easy
matter to give the bills after they
have been passed and this we will do.
To say that the House met this
morning and prayer was offered by
some distinguished divine and the
journal of the day previous was read
and approved, is bore to our read
ers and we feel sure they prefer
something else.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHINGToN, D. G., !
February IL, 1879. (

February IL, 1879.
The quarrel over the New York
Custom House is past. Senator Conk-
ling is beaten and the Administra-
ton is triumphant. Probably the
new officials will not perform their
duties much more or less efficiently
than the old ones. The contest was
for control of the spoils simply To
Democratic votes the Administrator
is indebted for its victory. Probably
Senators Democratic who assisted
Mr.. Hayes and Sec'y Sherman did
what was best in party view of the
affair.
Senator Morgan on Monday finish
ed his speech on the Edmunds reso-
lutions. Senator Bayard spoke on
the same subject yesterday, also Sen
ator Edmunds. The debate, let us
hope, will be of interest to posterity.
Just now it seriously interferes with
the public business,
This public business, by the way,
ought to be nearly or quite all over
by this time. AS it is, the most i'm
portant of it yet remains. There is
much talk of necessity for an extra
session. There will certainly be pro-
longed discussion over the sundry
civil appropriation bill and the legis
lative, executive and judicial, rs both
parties will see to accomplish general
legislation by means of amendments
to the bills, and an extra session may
be necessity.
Various propositions have been
made for raising money to pay the
fifty or sixty millions needed to car
ry out the arrears" portion of the
late pension bill. 1t is understood
that from five to ten millions will be
appropriated during the session for
the purpose, and the balance as it
becomes necessary. One result of
the bill is greatly increased NUM-
Der of applications for pension under
the general law. Many are applying,
now that they will receive pension, if
at all, hack to date of discharge, who
had not thought it worth while to do
so before. The first payment of any
pensioner, applying at this time,
could hardly be less than three hun
dred dollars.
A portion of the Potter Committee
left here last night for New York to-
examine witnesses in connection with
the celebrated cipher kilograms. Mr.
Tilden will be invited to make a
statement, and Messrs. Marble, Pei
ton and Smith Weed will testify.
Probably this investigation will be
closed this week.
In the house yesterday there were
several suggestions made as to a re-
duotion of the army. None of them
received q majority Of votes, The
army will remain at about $4,000 for
one year longer.
Two reports have just been pre-
scented to the Senate from the Com
mittee on Elections, one by the ma
jority, which declares Corbin entitled
to seat in the Senate from South
Carolina, and the other declaring
that Gen. M. C. Butler is entitled to
the seat he occupies. 1t is not like
" General Butler will be interfered
