sane, at Weston, were summary
dismissed, day or two since, from
their positions, just as winter is set
ting in, for no other known cause
than because Of their supposed Re-
publican proclivities. One of them
was Jas. B. Lovett, the first engi-
neer, an old and tried and self-made
mechanic, who has grown up with
the institution, and who knows eve
ry, pipe, drain, and every connection
and coil for water, gas and steam
about the buildings and grounds.
When notified to quit, he naturally
esked the reason, and was told by
DR.. Bland, the Superintendent, that
he did not know Of any, and was
given the following certificate by the
Doctor:
81, w. J. Bland, Superintendent,
certify that James Lovett, first en-
gineer, has faithfully discharged his
duty as such since | have had charge
of the institution, and | know moth
ing of the cause of his being dis
charged"
The same reason and the same GER
tificate was given the other dischar-
ged emplo Jes. The Superintendent
knew no cause for their discharge.
All he professed to know in the mat
ter was simply that they had been
discharged.
w. w. Woodell, the second engi-
neer, has long been tried and faith
full man. Together with Lovett he
put in the entire heating, gas and
water fixtures for the last three new
sections of the hospital, with entire
satisfaction, and embraced many
improvements. He too was dischar-
ged, and the Superintendent confess
sed that he knew of no reason for it.
And so also in the case Of VIM.
Tate, another engineer, and w. III.
Bragg, an old and efficient night
Waterman. They too were dischar-
ged for no reason known to the Su-
perintendent. He gave them certi-
ficates to that effect.
Mr.. Smith, one of the resident di-
rectors, when asked by these men
why they had thus been dealt with,
said that "the Board did not want
the reason known" Mr.. Moore,
another resident director, said he
"would not tell" DR.. Dent, the
other home director, is quoted as
saying that sit was the wish of the
Governor that no Republican should
have employment there"

SENATOR VOORHEES,.

The Indiana senior Senator made
speech recently in Atlanta, in
which he made an apparent politi-
cal somersault on the tariff question.
The Democratic Hoosiers have been
after the Senator for an explanation
and in reply to the charges that he
had "left the Democratic party" he
has written a letter to the Terri
Haute ETpreSs, in which he defines
his position on the tariff and ex-
plains his Atlanta speech. He says:
"What | said there was upon ma
ture reflection. expected to be crit
icised, and for that reason l asked
no one to share my responsibility by
consulting in advance. The plat
form of 1880 was a violent departure
on the subject of the tariff, and has
no precedent in the history of Dem
ocratic platforms adopted in nation
al conventions. / have examined
all. The declaration for q tariff for
revenue only, was never before made
in a national Democratic conven-
ton, and is burlesque on common
sense. Every tariff on imported
goods necessarily protects something

HON. THAYER MELVIN.

1t appears that this distinguished
Judge has resigned his office. With
all OF his great qualities he had one
infirmity. He would, occasionally,
suffer himself to yield to debauch
or spree, and recently he appeared
upon the bench in state of intoxi-
ication. The fact was clear, patent
and undeniable, and his personal and
political enemies seized upon it to
demand his resignation or impeach-
ment. Stung to the quick by the
consciousness of the improperly of
the act, and knowing the power of
his enemies, he for thwith rendered
his resignation.
How sad, that so bright judicial
luminary should have so fallen In
profundity of legal learning, in accu-
racy of judgment, in impartiality,
firmness and the prompt dispatch of
business, in quickness of apprehen-
sion and courtesy and kindness on
the bench, Judge Melvin was with
out an equal in the judiciary of West
Virginia. Is his offence unpardona.
BILE q? May he not satisfy the public
mind that he can yet triumph over
this unfortunate propensity? And
may not the voters of his judicial
circuit afford him another opportu-
nifty "to pick his flint and try it
again ?"
Men of the noble and lofty charac-
ter Of Thayer Melvin are of rare oc-
currence; and whilst the dignity
and decorum of the bench should he
firmly maintained, it might in this,
as well as many other cases, be seen
that

BACK TAXES-AN IMPORTANT
DECISION.

The Wheeling Lntelligencer gives a
summary of a very important deci-
sion by the Court of Appeals of this
State, on the 4th inst. 1t was the
City of Wheeling VS.. James L. Haw-
ley, and in substance is this: In
1873, the City Assessor discovered
that he had overlooked the assess
ment of Ms. Hawley for certain pro-
perty owned by him in the years 1876
and 1877, and therefore made sup
Elemental assessment covering the
same. Mr.. Hawley resisted the col
lection for the back years, on the
ground that the time was irrevoca-
bly, past for their assessment, and
that such assessment was illegal.
The city brought suit for said taxes
in the Municipal Court where the de-
cision was in favor of the city. Mr..
Hawley appealed from this decision
and carried the case to the Supreme
Court, and as we have said, a deci-
sion was reached last Friday, which
sustained the judgment of the Mu-
nicipal Court, affirming the perfect
validity Of an assessment for such
back taxes as may be due from any
taxpayer.

THE Democrats gained a member
of Congress in the election in New
York on Tuesday, in the eleventh
district. Mr.. Astor, a scion Of the
millionaire family was the Republi-
can candidate, opposed by Mr.. Flow
or, Democrat. Astor was defeated
by over 1900 majority. This will
reduce the number of straightout
Republican members of the next
House to 146, one less than a MAORI
ty over all. 1t may give them some
trouble in organizing the House.

To avoid all protection we must
abolish all tariff and resort to taxa
ton. The great question while we
have tariff for revenue is to SO adj
just it as to afford the protection
which it always carries to those in
terests which need and deserve pro-
lection, and to withdraw it where it
is not needed. This was my posi-
ton at Atlanta. No more and no
less. We are compelled to have a
tariff for revenue, and protection is
one of its absolute incidents from
which there is no escape, and while
this state OF things exists l want the
west and the south to embrace the
advantages which arise from it.
We lost Indiana in the last three
weeks of the campaign of 1880 on
the absurd issue made by our plat
form on this subject. In my Opin-
ion that issue will never again be
presented in that form by Demo-
cratic State or national convention,
and my purpose at Atlanta was to
aid in securing a sound position for
the party hereafter. / was warmly
Endorsed in the south by leading
men who have styled themselves

clared will make the south the rich

mote the best interests of Indiana.
BY living, moving, and acting in
view of the present interests, and
not by clinging to mere theories
without any possible application, the
Democratic party has great flu
ture, but not otherwise"
The statement of the Senator that
the declaration in the Democratic
platform of 1880, for a tariff for rev.
enue only sis a burlesque on COM
mon sense" and cost the Democrats
the State of Indiana last fall, may
or may not be true, but it is, to say
the least, little rough on Henry
Watterson, who insisted on and sue
ceeded in injecting that plank into
the platform.
On the whole, we are of the opin-
ion that the Senator's attempted ex-
PLANTATION has only resulted in get
ting him deeper into the muddle.
"While we have tariff for reve-
nue." writes the Senator, "the
great question is to so adjust it as to
afford the protection which it al
ways carries to those interests which
need and deserve protection, and to
withdraw it where it is not need
ed" This is the most ultra form of
protection as taught in Pennsylva-
MIA and the great manufacturing
States, and will by no means satisfy
his free trade friends. But we are
not so sure that Senator Voorhees,
Atlanta speech needed any explana-
ton. If he is convinced that pro-
tective tariff is for the best interests
Of the country, why not say so, and
manfully stick to it

POLITICAL PRESCRIPTION OF
MECHANICS.

AS an Independent journal, con-
trolled by the dictation of no clique
or party, we cannot fail to notice an
act of party prescription, probably
without a parallel in this State. The
facts will appear in the annexed ar
ticle from the Wheeling Intelligent
Ger. There was day in the history
of old Virginia, at least, when the
harsh expulsion of four honest, skill
full and experienced mechanics from
the employment of the State, because
their political opinions were not in
accordance with those of the ruling
powers, would have sent thrill of
Indignation throughout that old
and renowned Commonwealth
Should it be less so, now, in West
Virginia ? Have we reached that
period that we begrudge bread and
meat to those who differ in opinion
with US on politics ? Must the in
tereSts of the State be now sacrificed
to appease political rancour and to
crafty the sordid demands of parti-
IAN favorites The idea Of the pres.
ent Governor of West Virginia, that
all its charitable, benevolent and ed
ucational and public institutions
must be under the exclusive partisan
management of his own friends, and
that not even competent Republic
can mechanic shall have employment
by the State, may crafty the low,
selfish and mercenary classes of his
own faction, but the high-minded,
liberal and elevated gentlemen of his
party can only look upon such con-
duct with disgust and disapproba-
ton. We are curious TO see il there
is q Democratic journal in West Vir-
ginia that will have the manliness
and independence to protest against
such low and contemplate partizan-
ship. The american Register, an
able organ of the Democratic party,
published in Washington, in its issue
of Nov. 5th, thinks it San outrage
Gus crime that nearly one-half of the
people of the United States THAT is
the Dsmocrats,) are debarred, on the
ground Of their political opinions,
from all participation in the Offices,
hsnorS and enlolunlentS OF the Gov
eminent" What would he say OF
West Virginia, where nearly half heI
people are debarred of mechanical
employment, so far as the State is
concerned, on the ground Of political
opinion ?

MUCH MISTAKEN.

Bro. Seigman, editor of the "Stdr
of the Cape" at Cape May, N. j.,
visited our city recently, and sent to
his paper very interesting letter,
giving An account OF his trip and
observations in the Shenandoah Val
ley. In making mention of the news
papers in Martinsburg, he has this
to say of the INDEPENDENT
"The Independent, a neutral paper,
edited and published by Wisner "
Logan, is an excellent local paper,
well and cleverly edited. Its local
and editorial columns show careful
and we'll prepared articles of interest.
The Independent is a six column
quarto, and it's advertising columns
show that it is appreciated and well
patronized by the business men OF
the city and county"
We acknowledge the compliment
but desire to "correct the minutes,
in an essential particular. Bro
Seigman is widely mistaken in styl
ing the INDEPENDENT neutral
paper. 1t is anything else but neu-
trail. On the contrary, it is indepen
dent in all things and neutral in
nothing. 1t is not party organ
and therefore is entirely free to dis
cuss men and measures in the inter
ests of the people and good govern
ment, and it does not fail to do so.
If Bro. Seigman were regula
reader of the INDEPENDENT h
would soon discover that it does not
occupy even the equivocal position
of EARNED neutrality" 1t has it
