lican papers Of Gallia county for
their abuse of our people, is because,
the Gallipolis merchants do not ad.

true. We do not solicit advertise.
ments from the Gallipolis merchants.
If we desired their advertisements
we could fill our paper with them, as
they are always requesting it, but of
fer such lou rates that we decline
them, When we wrote the article,
we did so for the purpose of calling
the attention of our people TO the
manner in which they were being
treated by such papers as the Ledger
If we are to judge of Gullipolis by
the sentiment of her two Republi-
can papers, we must believe that
they look upon the people of West
Virginia as a set Of outlaws and
murderers This being the case, in.
stead Of their papers making the
proper apologies, they seek to draw
the people to the belief that it isself-
lshness on the part of the Register
that makes it speak SO. We shall
defend our people from their infl-
nous attacks, and will advise them
to insist upon the business men Of
Gallipolis, to force their Republican
papers TO treat them and their State
with proper respect; and if they fail
to do so, then we will insist upon
them Withdrawing all commercial
support from q people, who through
their papers, insist upon treating all
West Virginians as "unwhippcd reb.
els" ''murderers," outlaws" &c.
The time has come when the people
of this State should assert their man.
hood and pride. This abomniable
abuse has been going on long enough,
and must be stopped, or Gallipolis
will be the greatest sufferer. Weknow
our people will have nothing to do
with u people who are continually
insulting them.

That Taylor Case.

One phase of the Taylor case in
Greenbrier isnoticeable, Mr.. Taylor
had laid his complaint before the U.
S. Acknowledgement at Washington,
and from thence it was telegraphed
to the papers all over the country.
Governor Mathews then addressed an
official letter to the Attorney. Gener-
al requesting a copy of Mr.. Taylor's
complaint, so the State might invcs-
tigatc the matter. But the astute
law officer of the Government de-
clded that The information asked for
could not be given without a breach
of confidence with Mr.. Taylor. So
we see that the Attorney-General can
give out information to the newspa-
pers to be published for political eff
feet, but that is is not proper for him
to give information to the Governor
of a State in order that the latter
may have some official information
upon which to base an investigation
of the matter.-JacksOn County Herald.

1t appears that in addition to Shcr-
mans barrel, which was opened in
Ohio carly in the campaign, Mr..
Iardstick Foster fabricated the Re-
publican machine to the amount Of
$4,000 from his own private purse,
which money he made in his Fos!o.
ria store while his opponents, the
gallant Gems. Ewing and Rice, were
in the army fighting the Rebels. The
lesson TO be learned from this fact is
that the way to succeed as a radical
politician is when your country is
in danger not to go to its rescue, but
stay at home and make all the mon
ey possible, and then blossom out as
Il Republican candidate and buy your
way to Office against those who fought

The Exodus.

The Washington Post, in speaking
Of the exodus agitation, and its prob
able influence upon the productive
Industries Of the South, thus dis
courses:
White labor has produced half the
great cotton crop of Mississippi, and
a large percentage of that of other
States, but the blacks are needed in
the South and it will be for their in.
terests to stay there. If Northern
mischief makers lure them away,
their places can and will be filled.
When any man or class Of men
think they can't be spared, a great
mistake is generally made. There is
no place filled by any man that can't
be relied when he leaves it Cotton
will be raised, because it is necessary
and a paying crop. If the negroes
will not produce it others will do
that work.

Puncturing Great Moral Ideas.

Republican organs and speakers
are constantly claiming that all the
good and pure belong to that party
and that all the criminals, wicked
and immoral are found in the Dem
ocraiic party. To intelligent minds
it is an indication Of something
wrong when person is constantly
parading professions of goodness and
purity. The really good and honest
are not expecting adverse opinions
and criticism-are not conscious of
any necessity for reitcrating profess
sions of good qualities and therefore
are free from the practice, while the
hypocrite who is conscious of being
corrupt aud wicked is constantly in
fear of being seen in his true light
and as constantly tries to shield HIM
self by professions of manly quail
ties. When you meet man who is
always putting forward pretensions
to special goodness it will be wise to
be cautious in giving him your full
confidence.
The same rule should apply in re-
lation to political parties. So far az
any party claims that its principles
and measures are better calculated to
secure prosperity to the people and
country, than those of its opponents,
it is all right, but when it sets up n
pretentions that its members com
prise all the good and honest in So
ciety, it is u good reason for being
suspicious of it, There would be no
