Anfi-PrOhibiffOn.

Tile people of North Carolina
closed on Thursday last one of the
most exciting campaigns on the liq-
uor question that has ever taken
place in that or any other State.
The vote was upon tire ratification
or rejection of the prohibitofy liquor
law passed by the Legislature. Last
winter, in a small way, the prohibit
tionists began the agitation of the
passage Of a liquor law, and, before
the Legislature had adjourned, the
body was delugcd with petitions
against the selling of liquor in the
State. In several of the counties 10
cal option laws were passed, and the
sale of liquor prohibited, and finally
a bill was passed making it crime
to manufacture spirituous liquors, or
to sell the same, save upon the pre-
scription of physicians. This bill
was required to he Submitted to the
people at an election and on its pas
sage began in real earnest the prohi-
bition campaign.
he subject was most thoroughly
discussed from the stump, and there
were but few people in the State who
did not take hand in the fight, not
excluding the women, whose infu-
ence and efforts were very great in
behalf of the prohibitionists.
In the campaign much feeling was
engendered, as is usually the case,
and whisky ''fowed like water" 1t
was not understood to be party
question, yet the law was passed by
a Legislature overwhelmingly Demo
cratic. The Republicans united with
the negroes in opposing it, and the
Democrats were divided
The report from Wilmington as to
the result is that 'the returns are all
one way" Gas far as heard from"
says the report, mot single county
was carried by the prohibitionists." y
Another dispatch from Raleigh says,
"the election passed over quietly.
Towns where the Prohibition strength
we've conceded to lie have all given,
as far us heard from, heavy anti-pro-
hibition majoritics. The vote was
light The negroes voted solidly
with the Republican leaders who had
pronounced against Prohibition.
The majority against the measure
will be large, perhaps 10000" Thus
ends the first temperance hattie of
the year on the prohibition platform.

A small calliber paper, published
In the vicinity of the ''moonshine"
country of the Third District, makes
Brazen attack upon Senators Da-
Wis and Camden and Lewis Baker in
it's last issue. The fellow who writes
the articles for that paper must have
been wounded many times in the liv-
er; at least his capacity for keeping
supply of bile on hand and ready
to squirt at every opportunity, is I'M
limited. We would suggest to Bro.
b. and that other fellow that they
keep still. There is no point what
ever in the article referred to. Lewis
Baker is abundantly able TO paddle
his own canoe, without any Of your
assistance or advice; and if Senator
Davis consents to again be candi-
date, you and your crowd wouldn't
be considered even circumstance"
in the way.

The Virginia Democracy.

Virginia Democracy, if its utter
ances can be taken as proof, has new
er reached higher tide of political
good sense, than its action on last
Thursday. The platform adopted is
in every sense an admirable definition
Of sound political faith. The party
holds the State morally and polite
ally responsible for the payment of
its creditors, and the party promise
is explicitly given to pay the debt
with a fair interest. The public
school system, inaugurated before it's
exaction by the Constitution, will be
maintained and extended by enlight
ened reforms. The capitation tax
will be maintained as one of the
most available resources to that end
Among the points worth attention in
the assemblage was the presence of
several delegates who had previously
identified themselves with the Repu-
diation movement. The significance
of these OBJECTIONS attests the strong
feeling excited by the'Kid's" shame
less sale of himself in the Senate in
the Spring. The utterances Of the
Convention on the debt question
leave it impossible for any hon
est man in the State to doubt his
duty in the casting of his vote. 1t
is very rare indeed that q political
platform embodies so pointedly
its principles. They sum themselves
up-honest payment of the debt;
preservation and extension of the
school system for white and black 4;
an honest ballot and an honest count
and the equal protection of the citi
zcns irrespective of race or condition
before the law. 1t is very rare in
deed that a Democratic utterance
compels an approval so unqualified
as this admirable document must
elliott from fair minded men. The
convention rejects as q SANDER upon
the fair fame of the State the insin-
uation that the ballot is not free and
the rights Of the citizen not protect
ed. Identified with such eminentlv
wise and conservative principles il
behooved the convention to select
men Of conceded stamina to carry
them out. This seems to have been
done in the selection of Mr.. Daniel,
an able and popular man, who will
be remembered as having seconded
the nomination of General Hancock
at Cincinnati, and who is everywhere
known as one of the most polished
orators of Virginia.-Phila. Times.

FIRE AT GENEvA.--The large frame
store and warehouse above the steam
boat landing at Geneva, Fayette CO.
Pa, was set on fire on Sunday morn
ing last; the fire was discovered about
two O'clock. The fire commenced in
the top of the building and burned
about one hour, the joist timbers be-
ing very heavy. There were two kegs
of powder in the store, and much of
the goods might have been saved had
the people not feared an explosion,
which when it did. come made a hav-
oc with things,
NJ. II. j. Jaeo had large stock of
goods in store, upon which he had
$4,000 insurance. His loss will be
considerable. The building was
owned by a company, which pur-
chased the farm formerly owned by
Judge Grow. Judge Crow thinks the
building cost him about $4,000.
Mr.. Jaco did a commission business
also, and we did not learn what goods
were stored in the ware room. TIE
large door in the cellar was found
open, and as there was no fire about
the building it was evidently the
work of an incendiary.- Brownsville
Clipper.

CONGRATULATIONS,

The Institutes shall be opened and closed prompt
ly at the times prescribed in The printed pro-
grammes, the roll called at each session, and
absences noted. A copy of the roii shall be
preserved by the County Superintendent, and
copy sent to the State Superintendent.
q. The Instructor, aided by the County Superin-
tendent, shall have supreme control of the In
stitute, and shall conduct its exercises in a
well ordered school.
). The programme of exercises for the day and
night sessions are not to be considered as "iron-
bound, and under no circumstances to be va
ried from, but rather as an intelligent guide
to the course of instruction to be followed. II
the Instructor finds that any particular subject
in given institute requires special attention,
more than is given it in the Programme, he may
drop some other exercise to give him more time
for it,. But unless for good catise, the pro
gramme must be conformed to.
4. The lessons for any hour shall be assigned the
day before II ey to be recited that they may
be prepared as regular recitations.
The exercises IN the natural sciences are outside
the usual course in the common school, but the
necessity for the introduction of such exercises
is conceded by most persons conversant with
the condition and needs of our school. This
method is adopted to give the subject public at
tention preparatory to its adoption in oui
schools.
g. The County Superintendent shall deliver to each
member desiring 1t a certificate of the number
Of days of his or her actual attendance of the
Institute as required by law Forms will b.
furnished from this Office.
l. The exercises Of the Institute shall be strictly
didatic, and conducted as to combine instruc
ton with drill, and to inpart fuller knowledge
OF the subjects taught in our common schools
with practice in the best methods Of teach
ing them.
g. Curious and prohtless questions should be strict
ly excluded from the time Of the Institute, a.
also subjects that beyond the duties Of tn,

STATE NEWS EPITOME.

One of the most atrocious outrages
that has come under our notice in a
long time, says the Intelligeaeer, is
reported from Roney's Point. Sun
day morning as Mr.. VIM. Frcise was
coming toward this city he was asked
to look at two COWS of Mr.. Charles
Robrecht, of the Point, as they were
evidently very sick. Mr.. Freise got
out of his carriage and soon saw that
some villain had made incisiohs in
the bodies of the animals, and thrust
ing his hand into the missions, had
pulled the intestines of the poor
brutes and thrown them over the
fence into field near by. One of the
cows died in short time afterwards,
and the other Monday morning.
There is strong feeling out there
against the unknown pcrpetrator of
the outrage, and whoever he is will
do well to keep shady for some time
to come.
A BooT THIEF-The MteUigencer
of Monday, furnishes the following:
One day last week James Foster,
said to belong, near Cameron, West
Va, who had been employed as q
harvest hand with Benjamin Dickey,
near West Alexander, left and did
not retHrn. lie had been wearing n
pair of new boots belonging to James,
a son of his employer, to stretch
them. When he went he said he was
going to Roney's Point to get some
whisky, end not returning at the time
mentioned, Jim concluded that he
had skipped, boots and all. The
next morning two silver watches and
SIS in money were missing along
with the boots. Mr.. Dickey went to
West Alexander on the hunt of Eos
ter, bat he did not go that way, but
had stopped at 6. Ricc's, and tried to
hire him for 50 to take him to- the
haven where the desired fluid was to
be had. His offer was declined, and
that was the last seen of James, the
boot stretcher.
Mr.. Z. b. Davis, met with thrill
ing and narrow escape from death
last Sunday. Whilst passing the
residence of A. Stuttles on Buckeye
Run, he was attacked by ferocious
bull dog. The only weapon he had
was an umbrella, with which he struck
the dog blow. The umbrella snap
ped into pieces and left Mr.. d. de-
feneeless. The brute threw Davis
down and made dash at his throat,
when luckily a member of the family
caught the savage animal just in
time to save Mr.. DIS life. The dog
inflicted two ugly and dangerous
bites on the left arm. The owners
of wild beasts should be compelled to
keep them chained or Gagged A dose
of cold lead would be the surest and
safest cage.-Uest Union Record.
A lively correspondence is being
carried on between the executive
departments of Virginia and West
Virginia in regard to the certificates
issued as"West Virginia Certificates. y
A number of these certificates arc
held by parties in London, who are
becoming impatient at the long delay
in receiving interest on them, and the
failure on the part of the Virginia
authorities to make any effort to bring
about a settlement between the two
States. West Virginia is not liable
for any part of the Virginia debt il
we take the decision of the committee
appointed several years ago to deter
mine the matter; but as the Virgins
side of this momentous debt ques
ton was not heard,it conclusion can
not be considered as final. 1t would

The Point Pleasant Register fur
nishes the following arrangement of
counties into Congressional districts
as the most desirable that can be
formed under the apportionment nee
essary to be made before another
election rolls around. These counties
are contiguous and as here set out
would make compact districts:
FIRST District-Hancock, Brooke,
Ohio, Marshal, Wetzel, Tyler, Ma
rion, Harrison, Doddridge and Lew
is.
Second Dtst,ict.-Pleasants, Writ,
Wood, Ritchiey Gilmer, Calhoun,
Roane, Jackson, Mason, Putnam, Ca
bell, Lincoln and Wayne.
Third District-Kanawha, Logan,
Boone, Wyoming, Mcdowell, Mercer,
Summers, Fayette, Releigh, Nicholas,
Monroe, Greenbrier, Clay, Braxcon,
Webster and Pocahontas.
Fourth District - Monongalia,
Preston, Taylor, Barbour, Upshur,
Randolph, Tucker, Pendleton, Grant,
dardy, Mineral, Hampshire, Morgan,
Berkeley and Jefferson.
The population of these districts,
according to the enumeration fur
nished by the census bulletin, is very
nearly equal, viz:
First District, 154,049.
Second 1885, Oe.
Third I" 142.O36.
Fourth 156, 400.
The apportionment not having
been made by Congress, it is impos
sible to say what West Virginia will
be entitled to, but it is generally con
coded that we will have not Tess, and
probably not more than four members
Of Congress.
This arrangement has the appear
ance of equity on its face, and a
glance at the map will show that il
is about the best that can be made.

We mentioned last week that Pres
ident Hopkins, of the Pittsburg
Southern r. r., in company with a
number of New York capitalists,
would leave Pittsburg the latter part
of last week on tour of inspection
over the route Of the proposed ex-
tension of the road. The party left
Pittsburg on Friday, and travelled
over that portion of the road already
built to Virginia junction, when they
took wagons and came over the route
to Morgantown. From Morgantown
the party came up to Fairmont,reach-
ing there on Monday. At Fairmont
other engagements called the New
Workers away and the party was dis
banded for few days.
There are two routes, as our peo-
pie know, proposed for this road
from Morgantown. One by way of
Fairmont and the other by Decker's
creek. 1t is proposed to go over
both of them.
A correspondent who accompanied
the party says: The New York men
expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the country and graft
fed with the prospects. The engin-
eer of the party was surprised to find
that the road could be run to Fair
mont, a distance of one hundred
miles, at such easy grades-not ex-
ceeding 60 feet to the mile-whereas
the B. d o., running through the
same country, reaches as high as
from 80 to LIT feet to the mile. AL
most marvellous accounts of the min
eral wealth and timber growth of the
interior on the proposed line were
given by persons we met on the
route who had made personal inves-
tigation. They tell of trees eight
feet in diameter and seventy-five to
eighty feet without a limb, and coal
veins twenty-five feet thick. This
heavy timber growth and those vast
coal measures are in Upshur county
in the valleys of the Buckhannon
and Tygart rivers. This section and
the Bessemer ore country will be
thoroughly examined when our jour
ney is resumed,
p. S.-The gentlemen composing
the party reached Grafton on Thurs
day evening and will this morning
friday continue their journey over
the route from here South. -Grafton

says that the recent election in that

or no prohibition was the issue. The
vote was light. The negroes voted
solidly with the Republicans, who
had pronounced against prohibition,
