NEWS JOTTINGS.

Wheeling is congratulated at hav-
ing survived the summer lin spite of
the fact that she did not support
base bal! club.
The Richmond Wing calls on the
democratic national committee "to
order out Of the field" the "funder,
Hugh McCulloch brothers ticket"
and declares that this action alone
will make all things pleasant in Vir-
ginia.
Last year some eight hundred wo-
men in Boston applied to be assessed
as preliminary to voting for school
directors. This year the number of
applicants has SO far been only ten.
1t is the opinion of the Boston
Journal that Butler goes over to the
Democracy for the same reason that
the topper goes home at midnight
because all the other places are clos
ed against him.
Things are much mixed in the
First congressional district Of Cali
fornia. The Republicans have re-
nominated Horace Davis, while the
Greenbackers and workingmen have
each candidate in the field, and the
Democrats propose to nominate Gen.
VIM. S. Rosencrans.
Mrs. Mary E. Klein, who was
charged, in connection with her SER
want girl, of robbing the adjoining
house of Mrs. Byrnes, in New. Y ork,
during the absence of the family, has
committed suicide. She left letter
protesting her innocence, and accus-
ing other persons of having driven
her to death, but showing that her
mind had been thrown off its bal
ance by her troubles. A dread of
her approaching trial prompted her
to swallow poison.
Gustavus Henry, who died recent
ly at GAINESVILLE, Tenn. was one of the
best-known men of that state. He
was a member of the Baltimore Con-
vention which nominated Bell and
Everett; he ran for the governor
ship of Tennessee in 1858 against
Andrew Johnson, but was defeated F.;
was a member of the Confederate
Senate, and one of the confidential
advisers of Jefferson Davis.
Gen. FitZhugh Lee, nephew of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, says that there
is chance for compromise between
the Readjusters and the Democrats
of Virginia. The latter are so con-
fident of carrying the state that they
Will enter into alliance with the
Readjusters, and the Readjusters
are equally confident, and do not
greatly desire a compromise.
President Hayes rather braved
the people of California by declaring,
in his Petaluma speech, that this
country would remain for all time
"the home of freedom and the refuge
of the oppressed of every age and ev-
cry cline" This was an allusion to
the Chinese question that did not
strike kindly upon California ears
but it does not seem to have inter
fered with the warmth of the popu-
lar welcome.
Five officers of the Prussian army,
attached to the infantry, cavalry,
artillery and gendarmerie have, with
the sanction of the government, &C
cepted the Sultan's invitation to in
troduce reforms in his army.
Among the Sisters of Mercy who
accompany the Russian army are
two princesses and a beauty with a
fabulous fortune. They maintain
out of their own means the well-ap-
pointed ambulances to which they

HON. DANIEL u. L. FAKNS-
WORTH, Greenback candidate for
Congress, addressed small crowd at
the Courthouse, on Thursday even
ing last. Mr.. f. spoke about an
hour and half, and labored earnest
ly to rid himself of his Republican
antecedents. He is a good talker,
and made a regulation Greenback
speech. Two years ago, and four
years ago, and six years ago, Mr..
Farnsworth sought the Republican
nomination for Congress, but failed
to receive it. 1t is therefore fair to
presume that as late as 1878 he was
in full sympathy with the party he
now so roundly denounces. In 1880
he received the coveted nomination
for Congress at the hands of the
Greenbackers, and in the few months
intervening has developed wonder
fully in the new faith. Mr.. Farms
worth, during the course of his re-
marks, insinuated that representa-
tives of "the old parties" had not
"the sand" to meet him in debate.
OF course Mr.. Farnsworth has for
gotten his recent debate with Gov.
Pierpoint at Buckhannon, in which
the Hon. d. D. Il. Farnsworth came
| off second best-decidedly second
best, Does Mr.. Farnsworth insist
upon a second meeting with the old
"war horse ?" Singular to relate,
also, Mr.. F., in his remarks, Thurs
day evening, Immediately after de-
claring that representatives Of the
old parties were refusing to meet
him in debate, admitted that he and
Judge Hoge had met in debate, re-
Gently, in Randolph county. But
| perhaps Judge Hoge is not a "repre-
sentative" Of the Democracy and
| perhaps Gov. Pierpoint is not a re-
preventative of the Republican par
ty. Doubtless Mr.. Farnsworth seeks
larger game.

THE Shepherdstown Register home
organ of Senator Butler, announces
his nomination as follows -

THE Shepherdstown Register home
organ of Senator Butler, announces
his nomination as follows -
Hon. G. 7. Butler, our present
State Senator, has been re-nomina-
ted, and is again our standard bear
er, for the Office Of State Senator, for
this the 18th Senatorial district, com
posed of the counties Of Jefferson,
Berkeley and Morgan. 1t will also
be seen that he was nominated by a
decided majority on the first ballot,
which is certainly very fiattering to
him and his friends, and which
knocks the props from under the
deep laid scheme which was set up
in this county in the interest of the
B. IL o. r. r. Co., and our people
should rejoice over this grand result.
In the last session of the legislature,
Senator Butler proved himself to be
an able and efficient member, and
fully equal against the monopoly of
the y. u 0. r. II. Company, and
would have accomplished the de-
mands Of the State, placed in his
charge had not those who were with
him become weak kneed, and sur
rendered, and just at that momen-
tous period when success was within
their grasp.
If Senator Buffers friends persist
in putting him forward as a candi-
date especially deputized to fight
the b. 81 0. r. r.. they will find that
the people of this district will not
endorse him. The B. Il o. r. r., like
all other railroads are of great adj
vantge to the country through which
they pass. They pay large revenues
to the state in the shape of taxes,
and are entitled to the same protec-
ton as any other species of properly.
No one asks that railroads or other
corporations shall be granted special
favor in legislation. But all fair
people will demand that they
have that protection which will en-
able them to prosecute their bust
ness without loss. Martinsburg and
Berkeley county have been built up
and made prosperous by reason of
the railroads running thfo' them. All
have a common interest in the pros
perity of a corporation or establish
ment which brings plenty Of work
and good wages to the men and fair
profits for the owners. Railroads
develop the resources and build up
the industries of the country. Bread
FOR the workers and profits for the
count on the same side ;
Tor if the establishment of a railroad |
cannot be made to pay, the men
cannot get steady work. Not many |
sober and intelligent men will know
md support candidate who makes
var upon their honest industry.
