After Many Years.

On Wednesday Of last week Corata-
bic virts arrested, near Ridgeyil!e. shis
county, on warran. issued by Justice
Shay. Hiram MetcaIs. charged With
killing Que Franklin Smith abont the
close OF Tho war. Tie warrant was is
sued on the complaint OF Thomas Rob
erts Metcalf bad hearing on Mon.
day before Justice Shay. The case had
attracted n great deal OF attention. AMI
considerable number of people had
gathered, many OF them from the conn--
try. On account OF the crowd the hear.
ing WAS adjourned from the Justices
Office 10 The court house. Henry Black
burn testified that he WAS with the ac-
cusei one dag in Jane. 1865: that they
were drinking, ana went TO Smiths
house. where Metcan wanted to take
horse 10 60 to- a distillery after more
whiskey Smith suore he should mo.
take the horse, and quatrel ensued.
which ended by Metcslr shooting Smith
as he Smith was going toward his
house. Daniel Redman. colored, and
Mrs. Sarah Smith, the widow Of he man
killed testified to substantially the me
thing. The Justice held the accused
for the grand jury, and he was commits
It'd to Jail.
The killing took plsce at the residence
of Smith, ON Patterson Creek, near the
Grant county line, in what was then
Hampshire, but is now Mineral county
A few days after the killing Metcalf
was arrested aud taken before Judge
DALEY at kingwood, who for some rca
son discharged him without trial. lie
returned home. and has since been liy-
ing in that locality, the circumstances
being almost forgotten until revived by
Roberts because of quarrel between
himself and Metcalf. W hen the officer
made the arrest he found Metcalr ut
work upon his place wholly uasuspecling
anything Of the kind This case has
caused considerable stir in the commeni-
ty, and will likely be the cause OF bling
ing up others of the same kind. There
have been several persons killed in this
neighborhood by men who have never
been tried for the offence. = Keyser Echo,

WAsHINoToS. March I, 1850.
Mr.. HARpER :--Upon assembling this
morning. Monday being '.bill day." little
progress viii be made in completing le-
gislation by Congress. but tomorrow I'M
der the rules will receive consideration
in the House after their long journey
through the Committee of the Whole,
there 8 reasonable hope of their final
disposition, aud thereafter business will
go on.
The bill soon 10 be reported for the
government Of Indians. except those in
the Indian Territory, contemplates the
granting of land to each one of them,
tor his exclusive individual ownership,
for twenty-five years, and such assistance
as may be necessary in the way of subsis-
tence from time to time. Except that
they may not sell their land, and shall
have aid, they will be like citizens. j
fail to see wherein tins proposed system
10 an improvement on the existing evil
one. La fact by continuing the Indians
in a state of emi-pauperism, the AID to
be dealt out to them by corrupt civil oifi-
GERS, while permitting their unrestrained
intercourse with the whites, the worst
features Of the old management are ag-
gravated. Better by far transfer the In
dian Bureau to the War Department.
If that cannot be done, at least let the
supplies be given the savages under the
new management pass to them through
the clean hands of army officers.
TIE "strong government" idea has
never been more openly referred to than
by Senator Conkling. The idea is spo-
ken of here now, in Il way that would
have startled the people in 1865. that
last desperate year of the civil war.
The Capital" Sunday paper of this
city. says General Hancock 8 nomination
at Cincinnati is inevitable if Grant shall
be nominated ut Chicago. This is sta
ting probability for certainty, but
tho party could go further and fare
worse, whether Grant is selected or not.
Mr.. Hayes, it is said, will soon send
to Congress a message concerning the
subject of an intcr-oceanic Canal, and
will take ground against foreign inter
ference in America, advocating what is
known as the Monroe doctrine. Con-
gress is ready TO support any iudicious
stand the executive may take. MEMO.

TIE PAPER CoMBINArIoN.-The pa
per combination, as an exchange says,
have formed combin alton, and forced
the price OF printing paper up so to GO
per cent. This has been done while
the labor cost OF manufacturing news
paper has not materially advanced, end
while it can be proftably manufactured
for cents q pound, and but for the du-
ty could be imported for z cents a
pound, yet the mills in this country
have put the price up to 10 and IL cents
and talk OF making it II cents.
Mr.. Fort, OF Illinois, he's introduced q
bill in Congress placing printing paper,
and ell material used i'm its manufacture
on the free list. This bill ought to pass.
Every cent levied upon paper is tax
upon the intelligence Of the people. The
stability of the Nation depends on the
intelligence of the people, ard therefore
it is matter OF national Importance
that all duty should DO removed from
print paper, and from all articles used
in its manufacture. rs the matter now
stands, every publisher in the United
States, and all the people o! the United
States, (for tho tax must ultimately be
borne by the people, are at the mercy OF
the paper mill combination. If the
present high prices of paper are p crisis
ted in, it will necessitate an ivance in
ell classes of periodicals and books.
School books, the cost Of which is al
ready q burden scarcely 10 be borne,
will be higher. So that the duty on
printing paper is tax upon the inteli-
gence OF the people 1t is tax upon
education. Mr.. Forts bill ought to pass.
and the people. who are interested in
the price of school books and other lit
craiuse, ought to watch closely tho votes
Of their representatives on the bill. and
sec whether they stand with the paper
monopolis!s OF with the people"
