This job of work was advertised In all the
principal cities In the country, yet there were
but six bids put in, the work being too 1ntr1-
cate and difficult to be considered as paying
tob. 1t was awarded to the Messr5. Schneider.
1t Is safe to say that there Is no such work in
wrought iron In this country, and it is difficult
TO imagine that 80 delicate and ornamental q
Job could be accomplished in wrought iron.
There are probably twenty thousand separate
pieces OF Iron used In their structure, aud all
are smoothly cut and moulded as could be
done. 1t Is probable that these contractors
will lose considerable money on the work as

Will give them a certain degree of recompense.

DR. AGNEw's opinions OF the Presi-

fessIonal interest. Examination has, he

was for long time supposed" and, fur
Their, sit has been definitely as

chest and abdomen were not en-

Editor of.the Register.
Ihave been a subscriber and careful
reader of the REGISTER ever since its
establishment in this city, period
covering the last twenty years or more.
During that time l have written great
deal for that paper, either over a nom de
plume, or my own signature, and have
read, perhaps, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF all
the articles that have been published in
il, whether original or selected. Some
OF my own articles have been rejected,
as / had afterwards reason to sea Tor
good and sufficient cause. Most OF them
were accepted and printed.
am thus prepared to form
pretty Just estimate of the real
merits of the Wheeling REGISTER for
the last twenty years past.
/. AS secular paper, it has been
faithful chronicler of current events,and
has added much to the general stock OF
public information.
2. AS a political paper, IL has been
true-strictly true-to the policy OF the
Democratic party. be that policy right
or wrong; which believe TO have been
mainly right since the candidacy OF
General Mcclellan; and which, perhaps,
may be partly owing TO the fact that 1t
has been al that time out ofpoacer. From
this it may be learned, that truth is the
safest basis in politics as well as in other
matters.
8. In all respects, the REGISTER has
proved itself highly conservative, but,
&C the same time, truly progressive IN lts
Character and tendencies | have been
particularly struck with tnis tact, IN

ces which have appeared in It's editor

'sPlacing the Responsibility -

One occasionally meets with man
anxious to place himself before the
public as being upon a mental and
moral plane with the assassin Guiteau
by uttering the silly nonsense that
"Conkling is responsible for the muir
der of the President" 1t is disgust
ing enough to hear natural igno-
ramus use such language, but when
a man of such ability-natural and
acquired-as the editor of the Ports
mouth Tribune uses the same argu-
ment O. the disgust is heightened, if
possible.
This placing Of the responsibility"
by the brevet Democrats, teaches US
that the world is not growing better.
They did things better in the olden
times. We have read, several times,

reformer-and the type, in some re-
spects, of our modern reformers-

A Great Speech.

Whatever may be said Of the course
pursued by Gen. Grosvenor in the
local politics of Athens county, it
must be conceded that there are few
more eloquent or brilliant orators in
the United States than he is.
On the Sd of September he made a
speech at Valley Ford, Meigs county,
which is published by Robert Clarke
& Co., Of Cincinnati. 1t makes a
pamphlet of 30 pages.
1t will be remembered that this
speech was made before the death of
President Garfield, yet it is not inap-
propriate.
We have room only for the con-
cluding portion Of the speech, which
is as follows:
There is, and for years has been, a
party, or rather faction in Ohio, call
ing itself temperance party, which,
in my opinion, was put in motion at
the same time Mr.. Bookwalter was
discovered, and as part of his plan of
campaign. If that party does any
thing, it will aid the Democracy to
get into power Beyond this it can
do no good. There is not temper
ance law or ordinance on the statute
book Of a STATE to-day which was
placed there by the action of a party
calling itself a temperance party
Separate action has nearly destroyed
the temperance laws of Maine, and il
one year the places where liquor i.

ratio of four to one. And so it has
