such horse to raise his hand twice
when the bycicle rider will get down,
put his bycicle under his coat, clasp
his hands behind and appear to be

pleasurable memory. Let us
merely say they had a night session
and they adjourned.
Wednesday was the field day. 1t
was understood there would be ma
jority report, a platform and two
minority reports. The prophesy was
fulfilled Delegates could not enter
even the galleries without badges fur
nished by the committee on creden-
tiala. This shut out some of the ele-
ments of noise, but still the con
vention was crowded to suffo
cation. The only harmonious action
taken all day was to vote upon
motion of General Gordon, Of Shelby,
Co invite General Frank Cheatham to
occupy a seat on the stand with the
president of the convention. The old
hero was visibly affected and acknowl-
edged the compliment with q quiyer-
ing voice and tears in his eyes. His
great heart was deeply touched by the
spontaneous applause that greeted
him on his appearance.
On motion Of Hon. T. w. Brown
the two thirds rule was adopted. A
motion committing the delegates tc
the support of the platform, which
might be adopted, and the candidate
nominated, was very properly with
drawn as itwould doubtless have been

GRACIOUS! WHAT AUDAC-
ITY!!

We once read of mouse that fell
in love with lion, and was silly
enough to seek marriage with the
lion; and the consequence was, the
mouse for it's assumption was crushed
to death by the little toe of the lion.
But that was nothing compared to
the audacity of the "Post" man call
ing the Wheeling Register second
class newspaper, and it's editor "a
muley ram,with lilliputian noggen.'
But the post man imagined him
self the ''d,oa,.f, attempting to Stay
the sleeping Giant. That is the So
luton. We wonder if the Register
can survive the Hliputidn would be
assassin? Now, neighbor Henry,
don't let that beer get the better Of
your noggen again in that way
don't, but profit by the assumption
of the silly little mouse in our fable.

A Military Professor from the
a.. =. Army.

President Thompson, who has just
returned from Washington, whittier
hewent to secure the detail of an
officer of the Regular Army as Pro
fessor of Military Tactics and Sci
ence, reports that while great diff
Guilty was experienced in getting the
proper officers to understand the si:-
uation, yet when all the facts were
presented. it was promptly agreed by
the President and Secretary of War
that the detail should be made, and
that shortly. The law authorizes 80
such officers to be detailed, and to be
apportioned among the States accord
ing to population, and while several
States have one or two in excess Of
their proportion, West Virginia has
none. Again some of these details
have been made to denominational
schools, of limited patronage, having
no other facilities for military instruc-
ton, while the University is the prop
erty of the whole State and all its
citizens, and both by the Act Of Con
gress and of the Legislature creating
and endorsing it, is required to teach
Military Science, has ample ground
for tactics, target partice and erection
of earth works, and is the basis or
nucleus for the creation of the mill
tary force of the State, furnishing
the officers, drill masters and instruc-
tors for the volunteer militia of the
State.
These and many other points were
urged with great force by President
Thompson, who was greatly aided by
Mr.. Sturgiss, formerly Secretary of
the Regents, and by Col. G. r. La
than, and had such weight with the
President and Secretary of War that
at Cabinet meeting, when the mat
ter was discussed, it was agreed
that a detail should be made for the
University, which will probably be
at an early date.
Senator Hereford and Representa-
tive Martin gave cordial aid in this
matter, and we are glad to know this
is acknowledged ungrudgingly by
our Republican friends.
Senator Logan introduced joint
resolution last week providing for an
increase in the number of such de-
tails from thirty to sixty, which, it
is thought will pass.

THE SOUTHERN EXODUS.

The mask has been entirely torn
off from the colored exodus move
lnent, and there is no longer pre-
tense that it was anything but a po-
litical scheme. Senator Voorhees,
committee has been engaged in the
inquiry for some time and good
deal of evidence pointing to the
above conclusion has been taken, but
the thing was beautifully elinched
last week, when Charles N Outey,
colored, Che editor of the Washing
ton 4rsuss gave his testimony. We
would like, to give his statement in
full, were it possible, but TO briefly
SUMMARIZE. He said he was one of
the founders of the National Emf
grant Aid Society; the first intima-
tioh he had that the exodus move
ment was being worked up at both
ends was when a member of the So
ciety laid before one.of the meetings
a proposition to "send about 5000
into Indiana, as that was a doubtful
State in the coming election" He
then addressed letters to prominent
colored men in North Carolina, ask
ing what was the cause Of this sud-
den uprising. The replies came that
there was no cause for it., and that
the ignorant negroes were being led
intoit by three men named Perry,
Williams and Taylor, who got up
secret meetings and represented to
the dupes that the Government want
ed them to go to Indiana; that they
would get $3.50 to 1926 per day and
new suits of clothes when they got
to Washington. These three lying
emissaries were the paid agents of
the Radical party. Mr.. Outey said
that when he learned all these facts
he withdrew from the society. He
added that he had conversed in
North Carolina during the past few
weeks with James H. Harris, Osborne
Hunter, Jr., NJ. v. Turner and other
very prominent colored men and with
Governor Holden, Richard Badger
and Colonel Ike Young, prominent
radical Republicans, all fully in. ac-
cord with the foregoing explanation
Of the real causes Of the exodus.
They all likewise agreed that the
condition of the people of North Car
DINA is on the whole highly favora-
BILE, and that there is no adequate in
centive whatever for scolored people

ed man in the State il opposed to it.

The Republicans and the
Tariff.

In these days of multiplied news
papers it is not so easy for the Re
publican press to befool the common
people on the tariff as it used to be-
Nearly every workingman who can
read has informed himself that the
tariff question has never been a par
ty question since the Republican par
ty came into being, and is never like
" to be, SO long as that party con
tinues in existence. Jay Gould's
New York Tribune, the Philadelphia
Press and the North Americdn, and
the smaller quill drivers throughout
the country who draw all their polit-
ical inpiration from them, strive hard
to make the contrary appear to be the
case, but they have. exceedingly up
hill work. 1t is true that the Hon.
Fernando Wood favors a modified
tariff. 1t is further true that Fer
nando Wood is Democrat. But it
does not follow as consequence, as
the organs in question pretend, or as
Mr.. Kelley tried to show, in the
House in speech the other day,
either that all the Democrats of Cor
gress and the country side with Mr..
Wood, or that all the Republicans
side against him. Indeed, although
it is the farmers of the West and
South who make up the bulk of our
free traders, and although much
more than half of them are Demo
Gratis, it is doubtful whether the Re
publicans are not just now doing
more hard and telling work in behalf
of free trade notions than all the
Democrats together have done in that
direction for years. The Republican
Governor elect of Iowa, man named
Gear, is strongly in favor of a low
tariff, and we have the authority of
the Chicago Tribune for the assertion
that the Legislature of that State,
which as everybody knows, is strong
ly Republican, will shortly instruct
its senators and members on that
subject. The same thing may be
looked for from the Republicans OF
Minnesota, Wisconsin,, Illinois, Ne
braska, and very probably Michigan,
although the latter is more of tariff
State, perhaps, than any west Of
Pennsylvania. The increased repre-
sentation in Congress which these
states are expected to secure under
the new census will make their free
trade movement very formidable
one. The Chicago Tribune is the
leading Re publican paper Of the west,
and is very flat-footed for free trade
as a principle, and demands an i'm
mediate reduction in the duty on
steel rails on the ground that the
interests of the great west and Of the
whole country urgently require it
They put their plea for this reduc
ton ingeniously, claiming that a
lower tariff on steel rails means
cheaper railroads and cheaper trans
portation, our readers need not be
told, is siren song in the ears of the
Western farmer.
These are facts in which Eastern
Republican organs do not largely
deal. They would be grossly out Of
place published in connection with
their shallow pretence that from the
Democratic party comes the only
menace to the tariff, and that for that
reason it should not be voted into
power Union Leader.

defense set up was that, however murderous
the intention, it could not be sustained, be-
cause the means taken were "impossible to

diffused to have any serious effect. Never
theless the jury found the accused guilty, but
afterward signed memorial FOR the commu-
