THE speech of Queen Victoria at the
opening of Parliament, ignores all ques-
tons of reform underlying the distress
in Ireland. 1t contains no reference to
the system of land tenures, nor to any
reform in the administration, and the
only mention of Ireland is in a common
place statement that, in view of the i'm
pending famine, some public action
should be taken to avert it.

WHETHER the present duty on iron

is disclosed by a cablegram from London,
which states that four vessels, with over

unprecedented activity in the English

NeNspaper Dead.Beats.

There are some men so aepraved, de-
graded and altogether dishonorable that,
after subscribing to and receiving a
newspaper for several years, they deny
the fact and repudiate the little sum
they owe for the value they have re.
ceived. Such unmanly meanness and
petty dishonesty is happily confined to a
few unworthy beings of the human spe.
cies. It is not the plea of inability tc
pay that we refer to, but the contempt
ible "Cheek" which sets up a square
falsehood in order to evade the payment
of the small amount due newspapers
publisner for his faithful efforts in fur
nishing intelligence.

ThiRYerY.


On Friday night the slaughter-house
of David Darrah of this place, was vis-
tied by thieves and eight or ten beef
hides stolen therefrom, the value of
which was about $50. Mr.. Darrah has
made pretty thorough search for his
property, but up to the present his quest
has availed nothing. On Saturday night
the slaughter-house of Burdett & Win
spier, north of East Richland, was. also
visited and three hides carried away.
We gained the following particulars con-
cerning this last theft: One James Har-
ris, who we believe is employed on the
c., T. V. & w. r. R., was brought before
Justice Pratt, on Tuesday, turned State s
evidence against James Williams and
Samuel Lockard, claiming that he was
picked up on the roadside while under
the influence of liquor, and placed in a
cart driven by Williams and LOckard.
When the party arrived at the slaughter
house of Burdett s. Winspier, he was
pushed to one side of the cart and the
hides placed in beside him, and also a
quantity of meat They were driven
over to East Richland and the hides hid
in corn shocks. When Harris was let
out of the cart Williams and Lockard
gave him the meat for his share of the
spoils. After he had reached home and
sobered up, he thought the matter all
over and concluded to. return the meat
to the owners and reveal the facts in the
case. In the meantime Williams and
Lockard were arrested and brought be.
fore Esq. Pratt. They were placed in
Jail until Wednesday for trial. Harris
is about twenty years of age, and
has not the appearance of bad boy, and
Judging from his story he had nothing
to do with the stealing. 1t is thought
! this case will develop the Darrah steal
ing, though no positive proofs arr
apainst these men. Officer Neiswangel
went in search Of the hides stolen from
Burdett & Winspier where Harris salt
they were secreted, and found three
the number stolen.

THE hired agents of Bellaire are per-
ambulating every nook and corner of
the county to secure petitioners in favor
of the passage of bill granting vote
on the question of the removal of the
Seat of j ustice to Bellaire. AS these
men are paid given sum for each name
they secure, sometimes-not intentions
ally, of coarse-they are led to tell some
very wild stories for the accomplish
ment of their purposes. Among other
foolish reports, they assert, that $4,000
the amount ofthe tax which st. Clairs-
vile voted to build the Northern Rail-
way, is to be applied to the building of a
new. Court House, together with $4,000,
which it is claimed the Commissioners
have agreed to appropriate. OF course,
every sane man knows the fatsfty q
such a report, when they consider that
the Commissioners have not the power
to make appropriations to that amount,
nor the town the right to divert the
money voted for the railroad to differ
ert purpose. Besides, ST. Clairsville does
not want new Court House, and thinks
it unjust and oppressive to levy a tax
upon the people to build one.
We will not attempt to call attention
to the hundreds of Misrepresentation
made to the people for the purpose of
getting signatures to these petitions.
Any story. no matter how improbable
and ridiculous, is concocted to induce
people to sign these petitions, some of
which are in the hands of irresponsible
parties.
The citizens of the county would do
we'll to take the statements of some of
these canvassers with several grains of
allowance. The question presented is
one of moment to the people, and it
should be decided upon its merits and
not upon false representations. The ag-
itation at this time is disapproved of by
many of the leading citizens of Bellaire,
yet they are levied upon for contribu-
tions under threats of loss of business,
etc, by a few lawyers. 1t is becoming a
serious business to the people whether
or not these men are to Keep the county
in continual fOment. Doubtless, many
who are asked to lend their assistance
will refuse to forward a schemes, the end
of which can be nothing but increased
taxation, and permanent injury to the
material interests of the county. =.
