The Jewett 'sIBoom'' Gnfning
Force.

From the Rochester IN. W Union and Advertiser.l
All the indications would seem to
point to an increase of force in the
Jewett "boom." When his name was
first mentioned in connection with
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency this question was asked,
more especially by the younger class
Of men who have come upon the
stage since he retired from active pol
itics, and confined his attention Who'll
ly to business pursuits, "Who is
Hugh j. JewettY'-very much as the
question was asked, "Who is James
X. Polk2' when at Baltimore in 1874
the Democratic National Convention,
after a stormy session and heated
struggle of three days, nominated
and pitted him against the great
idol Of the Wing party, Henry Clay
"Harry Of the West" who was at the
time the most prominent public man
in the country, and who had in the
same city month previously been
nominated by the Wing National
Convention without the formality Of
ballot, by reclamation and with
the most unbounded enthusiasm, for
the Presidency. The event Of the
election proved, by ITO electoral votes
for Polk to 105 for Clay, who James
X. Polk was. So, now,if the Repub-
licans should have the temerity to
nominate at Chicago the most prom
inent Of their aspirants, the "man on
horseback" U. S. Grant, and the
Democratic Convention should OPP
pose him with Hugh j. Jewett, the
result of a Democratic victory in
November would teach inquiring
minds who Mr. Jewett is.

WASHINGTON dispatches say that
many of the ablest jurors at the

the far reaching demolition, by the
highest judicial authority of the
country,of what has been considered
as left of the reserved rights of the

decision in the Strauder and Virgin

The War Department gives a state
ment OF the number OF troops furn-
ished the Union army by each State
and Territory, and by the District
OF Columbia, from April 1901, to the
close of the war. It shows the total
number Of volunteers to have been
2,67S,967.
From the official statement Of the
War Department we get the following
highly interesting facts, which Re-
publicans should not fail to memo.

Troops furnished the tfnioti stm,y
BY eight free States and one slave
State, from April IL; 1851, to tho

Fraud and Corruption in the Co.
lumblan Literary Society.

EDITOR New DOMINION Co
lumbar Literary Society, Of the
West Virginia University, elected
their officers for the ensuing term on
Friday evening, Feb. 9th:
For over week the coming cleo
ton was agitating the minds Of all
Columbians, and when the eventful
evening came around both parties
were on hands to do their utmost in
electing their men. 9
Two tickets were in the feld---the
Waters and Pearre ticket we're the
way in which they were designated.
A. A. Waters headed one, and Geo.
A. Pearre the other. The Waters
ticket was supported by 20 Column
bians, and the Pearre ticket by 49,
but the latter had determined to make
up for their lack in numbers by
fraud.
After a fierce struggle both par
ties succeeded In nominating their
men, ard the ballots were then dis
tributed and collected by two of the
Pearre men, who were appointed by
the President of the Society.
ITO make long story Short" there
were more ballots cast than
voters present, and by this operation
the Pearre ticket was elected and re-
ceived its sanction by the unconsti-
tutional President.
Great Joy then filled the hearts OF
the noble 49,! After they had given
vent to their feelings the scene was
changed by the 20 brave and heroic
Columbians, who all joined together
in one grand and successful attempt
in exposing the ballot bor fraud, and
dcnouncing in the most orstorical
and Statesmanlike manner the fraud
ulent attempts of those who had de-
termined that the minority should
rule in said election.
After two hours Of hard fighting,
which came very near blood shed sew
eral times, the Constitutional 20 sue
ceeded at last in passing a
motion over the Presidents veto,
which called for new election. Not
an election, though, that should give
the ballot box suffers another chance
to perpetrate their hellish plans, but
one that would show the colors Of
every voter.
After the vote had been taken, and
the smoke cleared away, the Presi-
dent, compelled by the motion just
passed, said: "All those who are in
favor Of A. A. Waters as President,
please arise" To this 20 working
Columbians arose. Gail Of those
who are in favor Of Geo. A. Pearre
as President also arise" To this 13
arose, thus making 33 votes, the
number of voters present. And on
this plan the whole Waters ticket
was triumphsntly elected. Minorit-
les shall never rule again in Ameri-
can politics, nor shall it rule in the
| G. L. S. JUSTICE.

WE clip the following from the
Waynesburg Messenger: We have
strong grounds to fear that 3 grand
conspiracy in now in progress of or
ganizstion, by the Radical leaders,
with Gen. u. S. Grant at the head, 10
carry the merit Presidential election,
yforce, if necessary. Secret cireu-
lars are being sent out to persons
supposed to be faithful to the Radio
al cause, urging them to aid in get
ting up military organizations in
"eoery village, totcn and yard IN the
United States" to prevent the coun-
try falling into the hands Of the
Rebel Democracy" This appeal is
issued from an organization calling
itself the "Union Vsterans Nation
al Committee" with its Headquar-
tiers at No. lis Broadway, New York
City, and With Gen. U. S. Grant as
it's Chairman. This same organiza-
ton, or a similar one, existed during
the campaign Of 1876, and there is
scarcely doubt that it was in nc
cordance with its purposes and in
tentions that President Grant sur
rounded the Capital with United
States troops during the sittings of
the Electoral Commission, though he
was not at that time at the head OF
the organization, that position be-
ing held by Gen. John A. Dix, of
New York. Grant, however, was
unanimously chosen to succeed Dix,
ON the 10th day of May, 1877, and
on the 18th day Of the same month
wrote to Col. Drake DeKay, Secreta-
ry of the organization, accepting,
"with great pleasure, the position of
Chairman of the Union Veterans
National Committee" and express
ing the purpose "on his return from
abroad" to meet with the organiza-
ton. This, then, may be regarded
as an integrant and very important
part of the Third Term conspiracy,
which it is now clear, was organized
three years ago, or Immediately after
the Inauguration of the Fraudulent
President. The villainous decision
Of the Electoral Commission made it
unnecessary to resort to the military
power in seating Hayes, but the or
ganization was kept alive for future
use: and now the order has gone
forth to revive clubs and enlarge it,
by forming in every town, village and
ward in the United States, prepare
tory to seating Grant for his Third
Term, should the verdict of the bal
lot box be against him.
We would warn all Democrats, and
especially all Democratic soldiers, to
be on their guard against this infa-
nous conspiracy to rob the country
of it's liberties under the guise of
saving the Union by military organi-
cations. A determined effort is to
be made in every quarter to seduce
or enyeigle veteran soldiers into this
Organization. We, would warn all,
but especially Democratic veterans,
against this trap. asAeea. ga

a little careful to whom it sends this

Startling Statements Contained in His Al

The San Francisco Chronicle describes the
hanging of a Chiuaman at Portland, Ore, as
follows:
Fully 800 people were admitted to witness
the execution, and crowds gathered around on
the house tops. At the conclusion OF the read
ing OF the death warrant, Shel II Noiden asked
ALI Lee If he had anything TO say. He
sponded that he had. The dying statement of
All Lea was as follows: 1.-The Lee Company
ordered Cneung Sui Wing to be killed. and
made an offer to any member of the Company
who would murder him, and l accepted
the offer and promised to do it. 1 was to
be paid a good sum of money, and the
Company guaranteed I should not be hanged.

L and Charley Lee Quong and Lee Yung killed

he had seen me in the joss House. Chung Bo

yesterday that he had made up his mind to
have this done. want them killed. All the
jurors were against me. They hang two white
men for killing man, and am satisfied TO
die. 1 die now, but / want Chung 30 and

At the conclusion OF the above All Lee spoke

The MOON Not Dead Star.

DR.. H. ]. Klein, who two years ago an
nounced a new crater in that world of
extinct volcanoes, the moon, has brief
article in La Nature, in which he
gives reasons for believing that the moon
is not dead. He has recently examined
drawings OF the neighborhood of the
new crater by Gruithuisen, which strongly
confirm the theory of recent changes on the
lunar surface, and cites also the drawings of
Messrs Nelson and Green in further proof
thereof. Professor Klein adds that he an
nounced the new depression near Hyginus
as a crater, from analogy. 1t is a crater fun
mel, and even one OF the largest.
Toward the South there is a shallow.
spoon-shaped hollow, which terminates
in a second small crater. In full sunlight,
when the interior of the large hollow of the
crater is no longer in the shadow, the spoon
shaped hollow may still be seen as a gray
spot. By the use Of higa powers il is TO
marked that the environs OF the new crater
appear to be fissured in bewilderipg man
ner. Two fine burrows, like clefts in the
soil, which extend from n. toward the Snail
Mountain, are the finest objects on the moon.
1t is impossible as yet 70 decide whether
this formation Is really volcanic. There is
one curious fact, however, which would
seem to indicate that mountain of smoke
has at one time been seen on the moon. On
the I'd of July, 1897, Schroter and Oilers
examined a mountain situated In the
Sea of Vapors. This mountain, which
was ascertained TO be 3 $50 feet in
height, has been seen neither before nor
since, and was probably merely a mass OF
vapor. The formation measured by Schroter
has disappeared from the moon, and nearly
in the same spot there is now crater. There
sometimes occur, too on the surface of the
moon, Debulous strata of very long dura
ton, which have no analogues
on the earth. He who examines
carefully the materials furnished by the nu-
merous observations made on lunar forma
tions from the time of Gruithuisen up 70
our own day, says Professor Klein, will ar
rive at the conclusion that things are going
on upon the surface OF this neighboring
world which we as yet can know nothing
about.
