Editors Intelligencer
Hon. Geo. O. sturgiss, Republican can
didate for Governor, delivered an able, eff
fective speech before a large audience at
the Court House, in this place, last even
ing. Els address was scholarly, full Of
truth and soberness, and met with appre-
ciatiye attention from an audience COM
posed OF men Of all parties, and 1 have
vet to hear aught Of condemnation Of or
dissent from a single point he advanced.
Too we'll authenticated to be success
fully controyered, too respectful to
excite antagonism, too powerful to invite
attack, the speech was decidedly pleas,
ant surprise to his friends, and terror to
Bourbonism, repeatedly elicting vocifer.
GUS applause. We donot wonderthat MI.
Jackson declinesto meet Mr.. sturgiss on
the stump. Our candidate for Governor
made many friends here, and we should
not be surprised If he carries Berkeley
county. Now that Mr.. sturgiss has been
seen and heard the tide is certainly in his
favor.
The Republican candidate and the Re-
publican canvass meet with the approval
Of the people, and do not suffer by com.
parison.
Notwithstanding therewas a large crowd
present at the meeting last evening, the
attendance would have been more than
double had General Woodiord been able
10 fill his engagement. All the country
people went home, and the impression
vas also prevalent, induced by a pre-.
yions failure when Gen. Golf missed his
appoiptment and the disappointment over
Gen, Woodford's failure to arrive, that
there would be no speaking IN the even.
ing, We should have given the General
fousing welcome, and the regrets ex-
pressed over this, our second disappoint-
ment, are loud and long.
We have no cause 10 fear an ADVERSE
verdict in the Eastern Panhandle IN Octo-
Der nor In November. Our cause Is gain.
ing. our people sTe enthusiastic, and with
an abiding faith that General Garfield VIII
be our next President, the effort is to re-
deem West Virginia; and as Governor
sturRiss so tersely remarked, last evening,
between the CALLING FIRE OF the GFeenoack-
ors and the Independent voters on one
side, and the steady fusilade OF the Repub.
leans on the other, Bourbonism Is bound
10 90 down.

Our Pennsylvania neighbors are alive
and awake to the importance Of the issues
;rvolyed in this canvass. Greene is a
Democratic county, hut the Republicans
are very hopeful Of important gains this
this year. Capt. j. B. DOnley, OF Waynes-
burg, writes as follows;
uIast week our County Committee met
In this place. Nearly three-iourths oil the
iowpsbips and bOroughs OIL the county

This is the sort Of news that We read OIL

The Secret Of Woman's Power.

The secret of woman's power and success
in regard to the relief of trouble among the
afflicted poor lies, not where most other Sec
refs of force and efficacy have their strong
hold-in the intellect--but in the simple au-
thority of virtue. The sweet and even Op
Grafton of tender and steadfast spirit OF
charity necessarily carries all before it. WO-
man wins her way also by showing, what she
can not help, that her sole objectis to assuage
and succor, leaving upon the threshold all
that is not pure and simple goodwill With
men to do so is difficult. Men go by statute;
they are upholders of the law, which demands
obedience to the letter, enferces the applica-
ton OF it, and insists always upon technical
justice. Contrariwise women prefer equity.
The justice which follows the dictates of ma
ture is always more Christian in essence, more
liberal and magnanimous, therefore better
adapted for achieving noble ends. When
men in this department of work are exception
ally successful it is because as individuals,
they have feminine dispositions. Equity
whatever may be claimed on behalf of justice
as rule Of life, is the substratum of all the
noblest natures, whether male or female.

brought out Republican in the same

If he had known what it cost me to acquire

Surely there is not another language that is
so slipshod and systemless, and SO slippery

Mr.. Beecher said last night that inquiry
had been made of as to how far it was duty
to speak of men of their souls welfare
-"Well, )" said he, ''that is pretty large SUBJ
ject, and one which requires discrimination.
For example, there are great many cases
in which think in times of deep religious
excitement much mischief is done, as when
children and youth are urged to go about and

The Letter That No One Dares to Take From
A Maine Postofiice.
Portland (Me.) Argus ]

sIf Portland (Me.) Argus
\ letter, postmarked Bangor and addressed
"To the Handsomest Young Lady at Rock
land, Me-" was received at the postofice III
the latter city one day last week. After con-
sultation between the chief of the Office sn
his subordinstes, the former official ordered
the missive to be displayed through the glass
window, that q maiden confident of her
charms might step up and boldly demand
her property. The Courier, which is one of
the brightest little papers in Maine, by the
way, says, crowds of ladies have looked at
that envelope, but none has dared to call for
it. Maiden ladies in false teeth and false
hair have stood and gazed at the magic direc-
ton, and then walked meditatively up and
down the corridors, endeavoring to muster
up courage enough to face the awfully pene-
trating eye of the man at the delivery win
dow. Handsome young women with rosy
cheeks and laughing eyes have seen it and
spe; ulated as 70 why it was not given to them
without further delay. Young men with
girls have urged their respective sweethearts
to step up and ask for what is clearly their
own. The amount of trouble and worry
which that little envelope has created in our
city is simply incalculable. And meantime
the letter tantalizingly hangs in the window,
while the Cerberus at the delivery window
awaits with uneasiness and impatience the
dreadful moment when some woman shall
demand the troublesome document, and he
shall be forced to compel her to show cause,
if any, why he should consider her the party
named in the writ"
