The weather has been very unfavor-
able for cotton for some time, the past
week being no exception, owing to
heavy rains, cloudy days and rather
cool nights. We consider the crop in
a critical condition, threatened as it is
with rust, worms and the rot,-just at
tho stage where one is in doubt
whether there will be 4 heavy crop, or
very light Que. A magnificent pros
pcct on the ground is all that we are
assured Of just now.

IS Children Of the I3iblc."

For neatly bound volume of this
little book, we are indebted 10 the
authoress, Miss Fannie L. Armstrong.
We adopt as our own the annexed re-
view from the Iinden Tribune {:
tThere are two editions of this inter-
esting book. One neatly bound with
Biblical illustrations, price one dollar,
and a fifty cent edition, plain but neat
binding, without illustrations. It gives
graphic descriptions of thirty odd Bib
lical characters. The style of this
work is easy and elegant. The most
complicated principles of moral science
are discussed with such simplicity that
a child of ten years can comprehend
them with ease, and are illustrated by
examples and precepts found in the
Bible with such elegance and fiucncy
that the attention is first attracted and
then chained. Miss Armstrong is a
graduate of NIinden Female College.
The Book is not sectarian, but is lib
eral and fair-mindcd view of the great
truths of the Bible.''

PUTUP OR SHUT UP.

AS a specimen OF the deception still
practiced by the REGISTER, 1t is trying to
make the people OF this State believe
that Jackson has an increased majority
over Tilden or Matthews in 1876,
whereas nothing could be further from
the truth Yesterdays Inte'iigencer.
When the REGISTER makes a state
ment it shows the figures to sustain it.
Ii the MteHigmcer desires to refute any
statement by the REGISTER it cannot
succeed by making false and unfounded
assertions such as it has been sending
out to the country regarding the result
of the election in this State. Its bare as
sertions do not pass for much in this
community. The result OF the election
shows that JACKsoS's vote is the largest
ever given Democratic Governor
since West Virginia has been a State;
that he has an increase OF from
three to four thousand over MATHEWS
in 1876; that he has gained on the DEM
ocratic vote in nearly every county in
the State; that he has carried more
counties than MATHEWS did in 1876;
and that while the Democratic vote has
been increased the Republican vote has
either decreased or shows less proper
ton OF increase than either of the other
parties. II the Iaielligencer wants to

THE VOTE OF WEST VIRGINIA

The table OF returns OF the octooei
election in this State, which We pub
hshed Yesterday, was made up almost
entirely OF official reports. From few
OF the counties, our reports came, not
direct nom the officers of election, but
were nevertheless derived from the off,
cial count. The official returns will
not, therefore, materially change the re-
sult given in our table.
There are vet three counties and one
precinct from which returns have not
been received. although the respective
majori,iCs are reported. There are nine
counties from which the Gree nback
vote has not been reported.
Summing up the returns so lar as re-
ceived, We find that the total vote is
ll3,SO5, and with the three counties,
not reported, estimated by the last Gov
ernors vote, the total vote will be
1852, which is an increase over the
total vote of 1876 OF 1914.
The total Democratic vote is jS,iO1,
an increase OF 2,l5l.
The total Republican vote is 1902, a
falling OF of 405 votes.
The total Greenback vote Is 1926,
with nine counties not reported. The
total Greenback vote OF 1873 cannot be
definitely ascertained, rs they hal no
candidate in the Third district. They
cast over 5000 votes in the First and
Second districts in 1873. and probably
nearly as many more in the Third dis |:
tr.ct, so that the fell returns Of the
Greenback vote this year will show tn t
they have held their own, il not increas-
ell theirEote.
JAcK>ox's plurality over the Republic
can candidate, so far as reported, is To-
S95, an increase over MATHEW majority
of 1856. There wasno Greenback candi-
date in 1876, and hence the proper COM
parison this year is between the Demo
cratic and Republican candidates, and
not between the total Democratic vote
and the total opposing vote The latter
is the iavorite pastime Of the hisliigsneer
by which it is seeking to create false
impression abroad; but it is little too
thin for home use.
JACKSON carried Is counties this year,
against Al by MATHEWS in 1876. SUR
GIss carried IL, against Is by Corr in
1876.
The Democracy has made gains in a
majority OF the counties. while the Re-
publieans have lost. An analysis OF the
vote will show that the Democratic party
is in remarkably healthy condition,
while its opponents show an unstable
and uncertain standing in nearly all the
counties.
