Editor Register.
In answer TO numerous enquiries,
why / did not allow my name to be put
in nomination before the partially rep
resented Judicial Convention said to
have been held in Spencer, Roane
county, on the 3rd instant, permit me,
through the columns OF the REGISTER, to
say to the voters OF the proposed new
9th Judicial Circuit, that had several
reasons for not allowing my name to go
before the said convention.
1t IS we'll known that the political
status of Calhoun county is largely
Democratic. Yet the people justly re-
viewing the office OF judge as non-parti-
zan, and the election thereof, as resting
not on any Maroon plane OF party erpedt.
sncy, or indiridpal political success, but the
higher and nobler one OF enlightened
patriotism, were with great unanimity
opposed to the holding oil a Judicial
Convention. .
Had |, in the face OF these facts allowed
my name to have been put in nomina-
tion. | should have acted in bad faith to-
wards the people OF my county, and
would also have violated a principle OF
both personal and political honor.
am a lifelong Democrat OF the strait
ed sect. acknowledge a ready allegl-
ance 10 the Just hehests OF legitimate
party discipline. When the Democratic
party was in an almost HOPELESS minority,
| ielt confident that il was but a ques-
ton of time when the principles OF that
party would rise from the ashes of pro.
scription, and become again an import
ant factor in American politics.
Representation rests on suffrage; ul-
fra &c is the delegation OF power from a
freeman TO his selected agent. This
right To choose representatives is the
portion of political power belonging to
every qualified voter, and through this
channel representatives become invested
by the people with executive, legislative,
judicial and delegated power.
And | ask the question: Did the
Democratic voters OF the respective
counties forming the proposed new 9th
| Judicial Circuit, assemble in their re.
spective districts and appoint delegated
agents to go to Spencer on the Srd INST.
and then declare who should be their
| candidate for Judge? II not, the action
| of that convention was not binding upon
a single voter in the circuit.
Ii has been suggested that l am too
poor to come in competition with the
| influence OF wealth for the ~Judgeship.
1t is true that | am a very poor man,
| and cannot make it as Interesting as
some others; yet the man in my humble
Judgment, whether rich or poor, who
would spend a solitary cent outside OF
the incidental expenses in presenting
his claims before the people, forthe pur-
pose of elevating himself to the position
of Judge, is unworthy the office.
In conclusion allow me to say to the
voters of Sackson, Roane, CLAW, Gilmer
and Calhoun counties, that free suffrage
is the vital breath of free institutions,
and that | am an Independent candidate
before them for the J~udgeship, leaving
the result OF the issue to the ballot box.
Very Respectfully,
WILLIAM l.. STEVENSON.

Correspondence OF the Register.
PHILLIPPI, September 18th.
l attended the annual session Of the
Methodist Protestant Conference, held
at Peel Tree, Barbour county, W. Va,
the last week in August, 1880. The
Conference was well sustained by the
community in every particular. The
country is a rich and prosperous valley.
The attendance upon the daily sessions
vas full and overlooking. This is a
large and influential Conference; the
mem bership of the church within the
bounds of the Conference being 10000.
The ministerial talent will com-
pare iavorably with the other churches
OF the State, and she is growing in favor
every year, as her principles and doc
trines are understood by the people.
Why should she notp She is the church
of the people and for the people, %
stituted and organized with the consent
Of the people. | am in favor of a church
without a bishop, a country without a
king. | am afraid OF a centralized power
in church or State. Let the people
rule!
During the session there was one min
lister who was charged with immoral
conduct, and was referred to a com-
mittee for trial. This somewhat
aroused the old Adam in said min
lister, and to retaliate and avenge
his feelings or to prepare a way to effect
a compromise to screen himself, he
brings a suit against the party charging
him with being guilty of immortality,
and brings his suit in Barbour county,
when the charges originated in Roane
county, where all the parties live, and
then brings the sheriff of Barbour
county into the Conference room, dur
ing the business session and served the
writs on said parties, to the confusion
OF the Conference, those men being
members Of the Conference, and it only
q civil process.
| think his honor, Judge Brannon,
would rebuke such a procedure that
caused such confusion in a religious
body transacting the business OF the
church. ii the sheriff was compelled 10
serve the writs at that time, he should
have notified the presiding officer OF the
conference OF his errand. He served his
writ viii e the President was taking tie
vote Of the conference, and itcaused such
confusion that he had to take the vote
over after the excitement abatcd. |
think the conference has just grounds OF
complaint for such treatment from a
civil officer OF the law, in civil matter OF
law procedure. w. NJ. b

WAYS THAT ARE DARK.
How Postmaster James Gets
Along Without Meddling In
Politics.
BUFFALO. \. Y. Sept. -

BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. IL.
The New York correspondent Of a
Buffalo daily writes as follows: The
Republicans are collecting campaign
money wherever they can raise q dollar.
Every man receiving a salary from the
Government is expected 10 pay. The
p%retense OF misunderstanding the assess
ment system is the hollowest sham. |
said in my last that the order of Post
master James against assessments wasa
piece OF humbug. Mr.. James gets much
credit occasionally for managing the
pOstothce without reference TO politics.
| always thought there was u good deal
OF humbug about that too. AS to the
order just mentioned, / learned the
other day the exact true inwardness OF
II. The principal postal business of
New York, outside of the general office,
is done at Station ID, neal Cooper Insti-
tute. | cannot Just say how many men
are employed there, but the carriers
alone form quite a regiment. Detain-
ing one OF these carriers a moment, /
asked him how heiiked the order against
assessments. 81 should like it had it
come a few days sooner he answered.
How so? Have you paid?" "Paid?
| should say so; every man in the office
had put up his money before the order
came Did they put up voluntarily,
or was it an assessment "Well, you
see, this is how it worked: The day be-
fore the order appeared was our pay
day. AS each nan went up for his
money he saw on the desk a 'contribu-
ton list. Before getting his money he
was asked ii he did not want his name
on the list. When he asked what it
would cost he was told two per cent.
Now Of course, We all knew very well
what the consequences would be il We
refused. so none of us did refuse. Two
per cent, ofeach mans early salary was
deducted from his months pay, and the
remainder was handed over to him.
You may call il an assessment or a sub
scription, just as you please; but that's
how it was done. The order against
assessments came twenty.four hours
alter all the boys had put up, or rather
after the money had been kept back out
Of their pay" 1t is hardly reasonable
10 suppose that Postmaster James did
not know what was going on at Station
ID, and | dare say the same thing has
been done at every station in the city,
and at the general office too, right under
the nose OF the gentleman who issued
the prohibitory order.

called loans and foreclosures, Otwhich so
