The nihilists on trial before the military
tribunal at St. Petersburg escaped with
light punishment. Three went into exile,
and four received varions terms in prison.
Russian courts of late have shown SO strong
a fancy Tor capital punishment that these
criminals, some of whom confessed TO com
plicity ii, plots against the Cars life. may
be called lucky to not feel the tightening
of the hangman's moose.

Colonel Withrow, President Of
the Board Of Directors Of the
Hospital, with Colonel W. l..
LEARN, Of Wheeling, DR.. Camp
boil, of parkersburg, Hon, e. NJ.
bishop, Of Preston county, Colonel
Grantham, # Jeff.son county, and
Messrs. Lewis, Ralston and Lively,
Of Weston, held a meeting Of the
Board at the Hospital on Wednes-
day and Thursday. The Board,
VIC are informed, was much pleased
with the progress Of the work, and
made the necessary arrangements
for the completion Of the building
during the summer. t is thought
that by the lst Of October there
will DO ample accommodation for
all the insane in the State. As
soon as the building is completed
the applications now pending for
admission will make the ontire
number of insane in the Hospital
over live hundred. In view OF this
large increase of patients, the
Board appointed DR.. Lewis, of
Jefferson county IA young gentle
man from the Baltimore Medical
College, 2nd Assistant Physician,
at salary of $500 Il year. DR..
Lewis comes highly recommended,
and only accepts the small salary
offered with the view Of better pre-
pairing himself for his profession.

choice is Blaine and Second Wash.

on our government. l think, sir,
that tho Republican party Of this
nation, when his last term expired
drew a long breath of relief and
said, THANK God, it is over His

once told me that he cautioned
him against the impression that
his own popularity elected him

Death of Cot. John MeWhorter'

Colonel John McWortcr, the old
est citizen in this county, and one
whose name is more intimately
connected with the history Of this
section OF the State than any other,
departed this life on the 18th inst,
in tho 9Th year of his age. Col
onel McWhortcr was one of the cd
landmarks ofour community. lie
was an officer in the war OF 1872;
and afterwards served our county
in the capacity of Representative,
President of the County Court and
Prosecuting Attorney; and in all
his relations with our people, he
served them honestly, and faithfully
and well. His is all llonored name,
and in the future as in the past,
his services will be gratefully re-
inembercd. lie was, We are in
formed, the Oldest Free Mason in
either Of the N'irginias, having
been made a member of that or
ganization just prior 10 the strug=
gle between this country and
Great Britain; and by the Weston

ally inferred on Friday last. In
our next issue Ne will give 10 our
readers n sketch Of the life and
services of the old and respected

VAsLIING10N LETTER.
WAsulyeroS, D. c., April u.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 70.
Editor Democrat:
Mr. Tilden, so the Boston Herald.
an independent paper says, through
one of its correspondents who had
just visited the great New
Yorker, will not be a candidate
for the Presidency this year. OF
course the correspondent may have
had the interview he mentions, or
may not; but all the circulnstaE-
ces connected with the statement
give it more than ordinary plausi'
bility. Frsm an equally reliable
source comes, too, just now, the in
formation that Mr.. Seymour will
not I've candidate fur the office,
III the midst of 50 much loose writ
ing concerning these eminent DEM
ucruts it is cheering to know that
both these reported intcrvicwers
conclude with the statement that
the two New York gentlemen will
soon communicate directly with
the public on the subject. Until
they do so it is safe to say that the
chances are in favor Of acceptance
by either Of them, if The party
should confer the honor upon
either.
OF other Democrats mentioned
Hancock i'll the East and North
and Morrison in the West seem to
he at this time making more head
way than any of the others, per-
laps because Nlcssrs. Thurman
and Hendricks, and their friends,
arc not apparently doing anything
TO advance theirrespectiyc blooms"
On Saturday the army appropri-
ton bill rider of the last session
was discussed or rather talked
about, six or seven radicals, includ-
ing Frye, Robson, Keifen and
Hawley. No speeches were made
by Democrats and probably none
will be. They will content them
selves with the record Of the extra
session, in which some of these pres
ent directors voted for this identi-
cal "rider" which was then passed
by the House and Senate and ap.
proved by Mr.. Hayes. The radical
speaking will probably he renewed
to-day, and Il vote taken to-mor-
row. The bill will pass without
the rider.
Next comes the Naval appropri-
alton bill, which will be disposed
of this week. Other appropriation
bills will follow, and the indications
now arc that nothing will be put
on them which will provoke pro.
longed discussion.
The Senate will probably pass
the Ute agreement bill to-day.
