Slack Water Navigation - Cele-
bratiOn of Its COnsumma-
tiOn.

Correspondence of tho Register
MoRGANrowN. W. VA, sept. %.
The appearance Of slack water from
the lock below has been the theme OF
our people for the last week.
The 9th was set apart to celebrate
the occasion with grand picnic at
the Lock. An excursion from here in
a fat boat pushed by the Little Gem
was no small part OF the doinss. About
1880 A. NJ. she got ahoat crowded with
people. Point Marion band gave the
music of the day. Major lson, with a
cannon and cadets enough 10 man II,
added to the enjoyment Of the day.
The rustics crowded upon the bank to
cheer the party as they passed. Addl-
tions were made 10 the party at JIM
town Ond other points EN- route. 4
salute was fired for the large crowd that
hal gathered on both sides of the rlver
before landing. The next thing IN order
was 10 deyOur the good things on the
Addresses were delivered by Messrs.
Joseph Moreland and j. VI. Ilagans, of
this place.
Late in the evening. the crowd having
mostly dispersed, the party started iOr
home. and arrived here about IL o'clock
Al night, tired and sleepy too. 49,.
We hope that the other two locks VIII
be built soon, 50 that We can take an
excursion in a steamer from here to
your city.
Are the Regents of the Romney In
stitution going % meet, or has the Wind
been FLOWING from the east, pregnant
with odOrs arising from the corruption
in the management OF that institution
From an article we saw in the Inisilt-
Osaryr of the 22d, We infer the editor has
EMPLOYED r cheap boy 10 take the recS,
oniugs of the institution as the Board
il wholly unfit 10 do it,, and that the
bow has recently stirred up the cess pool
OF corruption which was discovered
there last June. The SayOry odors
arising from il have doubtless greeted
the editors delicate OliactOries I? p and
caused him to CRY out so loudly against
"wickedness in high places. DCuht

THE GREAT WALK.
Division of the Receipts.

New YORK, September 29.-When
Krohne left the track, at 9:4S:25, Satnr-
day night, the great race was ended, and
the vast throng which had filled the
Garden began to disperse. AS the crowd
went out, the throng in Madison and
Fourth avenues approached each man
and asked the news. At this time the
fact that the race was ended had not be-
come publicly known, and the men who
asked the questions were as anxious as
they had been on the first day OF
the race. When the result was
told, the questioners were as in
dignant as they had been anx-
ious, and all asserted that ROwell
could have done much better than he
did. During the week the pools on the
race amounted to S250,0OO. The book
makers have not lost, as they have
bet every day on Rowell to win. 1t was
announced last evening by Mr.. Hess
that the receipts from s A. VI. on Friday
to s A. VI. Saturday were $1,000. lie
refused to say what was received Satur-
day after A. NJ, but he estimated the
sum at $4,000. The entire receipts OF
the walk he estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000 twenty-five
per cent of this sum goes
to the lesses of the Gar
den; then $1,000 more are to
be deducted for expenses; One-half OF
the remainder goes to Rowell, and the
other half is to be divided among the
other men who covered $50 miles. BY
the rules which govern a contest for the
Ashley belt, it more than six men score
45g miles, Sir John Ashley is to deter
mine the amount which each of these
men, except the winner, is to receive
Rowel is entitled to half. What the
others will receive must be determined
in London. Mr.. Atkinson says that
Sir John Ashley will take no action with
out consulting the seven men to whom
half of the money belongs.

Senator Pendletou at Van Vert.

VAN VERT, o., September N.-The
Pendleton meeting to-day was a grand
success. The hard thunder'stor Of
the morning, followed by a drizzling
rain that continued until the hour OF
meeting. made it impossible for the peo-
pie 10 come in delegations, as they ex-
pected. But Notwithstanding the rain,
our large, new courthouse was crowded
with as earnest body OF listeners as
ever met in council, and the frequent
applause Of the eloquent Senator was
enough to satisfy the most doubtful that
Van Vert Democrats are rapidly getting
in condition to carry the Ewing and Rice
hammer 70 victory.

Deficiency Of Gold in the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, September 29.-Ihere
is in the Treasury but about S6,lI9,OOO
in gold, in denominations of less than
$50. This amount is not sufficient 10
meet any active demand upon the
Treasury for small coin. To supply this
deficiency, it is understood, will be the
intention of the Treasury Department,
by recoining most of the foreign money
received at the New York assay office
into five and ten dollar pieces. In re-
coming the foreign gold nothing less
than five dollar pieces will be turned
out, as it is desired to get aslarge a num-
Der of standard silver dollars as possible
into circulation.
