POLITICAL NOTES.

Gen. Butler has been nominated
for Governor BY the Democrats
of Massachusetts.
General Sherman thinks that the
Irish people are fast drifting out Of
the Democratic party.
About thirty schools in Wetzel
county will have no teachers this
year. How much more bungling
legislation will it take to kill the
Free Schools. Messenger.
j. B. Campbell, the Republican
nominee for sheriff of Randolph
county, Gala, was murdered on Fri
day. In the excited political can
vass a friend of Campbell, named
Cody, had an alteration with Stubs
and Campbell desired very much
to effect reconciliation. He APP
parently failed in his efforts, and
turned to walk away, when Stubs
ran up behind him and fred with
out warning, the ball taking effect
in Campbelps stomach. Stubs es-
capped. If captured it is almost GER
tain that he will be lynched.
But for the Republican party
West Virginia would have been to-
day land without schools and al.
most without industrial enterprise OF
any kind. Such was her condition
under the long night Of Democratic
rule before the war;, If the men of
enterprise in this country could be
assured of Republican ascendency
in the State and nation, there would
be twice the disposition that there
is to-day to invest in and emigrate
to West Virginia. The thrift of this
country keeps suspicious and ap-
prehenslve eye upon the Democrat
ic parry. They stand in constant
fear of its reactionary tendencies

The following personal appeared
"a few days ago in one of the Phil
adelphia papers: "In this dark

will some one lend me a few hun
dred dollars at once? l shall faith

North Twelfth street." A reporter
of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
who called on Mrs. Hammond, re.
ports her to be in pitiable condi-
ton of distress. She acknowledges
frankly that she has always lived up
to her income and at different times
has been in debt "just as everybody
else has been," but she Indignantly
repudiates the charges of any dis.
honest proceedings on her part, and
complains bitterly because of the
brand of forgery which.has recently
been attached to her name without
any trial or investigation. Mrs.
Hammond says that she was perse.
cuted, and that she is almost brok
enhearted at the troubles which
have been heaped upon her.

the purpose ofmaking an obserya.
ton of the proposed railroad from

One of the most hearty welcomes
rendered the new Swiss minister to
the United States, Col. Emil Fret,
took place at the rooms of the lega-
ton at Washington, Monday. Col
Fret was captain in one of the I'm
ion regiments from Indiana, and in
1864 was a prisoner in Libby prison
at Richmond, Va. At the same time
Capt. VIM. Gordon, of the Confeder-
ate secret service, was under militia
~ trial sentenced to death at Fort
McHenry. jefferson Davis selected
them Capt. Fret and held him ais
hostage for Capt. Gordon, placing in
close dungeon confinement, with the
prospectof death byhangingor shoot
ing sh0n!d Capt. Gordon be execu-
ted. But President Lincoln RENTED
the death penalty imposed on the
Confederate captain, and Capt. Fret
was soon after placed on the same
footing. In January, 1865, Capt.G Cor
den was sent by the United States
authorities to Richmond and Capt.
Fret returned in his stead. The sol
diers never met until Monday,
after seventeen years separation. The
cordial greeting of these two old sol
diers-representing the Blue and the
Gray-was of an interesting charac-
ter.

STAUNToN, Va, Sept. 1S.--About
fortnight ago two deaf mute boys
named Ackers, one IL and the other
9, were brought here from Franklin
county by their father to the state
institution for the deaf and dumb.
They became very homesick and
made up their minds to run away.
They escaped before day break this
morning and by 8 o'clock had truased
six miles in the direction of their
home, about 175 miles away. As they
were walking on the railroad track
near Baskerville the train came along,
but they could not hear it. One was
killed but the other may recover.

This loathsome disease has been
spreading over the country with great
rapidity fog the past two weeks. and
it has now surrounded us on nearly
all sides. Oar citizens should take
the precaution Of being vsccinated.
The following receipt has appeared
in the New York and New Orleans
papers, having been given to the
public BY . reliable correspondent of q
California paper. where the disease
FIRST made it's appearance:
Il herewith append . recipe which
has been used, to my knowledge, in
hundreds of cases. It will prevent
or cure the smallpox, though the pit
tings are filed. When Jenner dis
covered the cowpox in England, the
world Of science hurled an avalanche
Of fame upon his head, but when the
scientific school Of medicine in the
world that Of Paris-pnblished this
recipe as q panaces for smallpox,
it passed nnheeded. It is nnfaiiing

1t is harmless when taken BY well

yer. Here iss the recipe 81 l have
used it. and cured my children Of

Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For child, smaller
doses, according t. age. II counties
would compel their physicians to use
this, there would be no need OF pest

perience, use this for that terrible

AN EPIDEMIC OF HOMICIDE.

Scarcely paper comes to band Of
late but it has sickening recital 70
make of a murderous ARRAY or diabol-
ical red handed and cowardly killing.
The number Of instances ia which
brawls have been melted by whisky
is simply appalling. We have kept
q record Of twenty murders commit
ted in this and adjoining States
within the past I've months, and Of
that number fourteen are laid to the
charge Of whisky, While robbery is
frequently at the bottom Of killing.
it is an admitted fact such deeds are
almost invaribly committed by low
vagabonds who have been brought to
degradation by becoming whisky sots.
The pernicious practice Of. carrying
concealed weapons is also frequently
the cause Of murder when parties be-
come engaged in hot-blooded alter
cations. but even then the cause is
frequently to be traced to the effects
of whisky imbibed at . grogshop
hard by.
From q calm consideration of this
subject We are forced to the conclu-
sion that, while strict enforcement
of the law relative to carrying con-
cealed weapons will be of potent in
Auence in the suppression of crime.
still the suppression of the whisky
traffic will be of most paramount i'm
portance if We desire to put q stop to
to the tornado Of crime that threat
ens to sweep away all the barriers
imposed BY civilized society. In
view Of this state of affairs, We an
nounce the CHRos1cLs as a champion
for war against the whisky traffic in
this State. and cali upon our cotem-
poraries to endeayor to make this
one of the issues 10 the coming polit-
ical campaign.
We have advocated local option in
this parish, and it was defeated at
the ballot box through lack Of inter-
est among those protesting sympathy
in the cause, but mainly by counte-
nance of some who profess to desire
to see State law made to check it,
and not leave it to the parish. We
shall see how much sincerity there 10
in their professions. II they were
actuated by truly patriotic and nm
selfish motives We think their correct
motto should be : opposed to whis-

YOU must return to the Assessor the
amount of property you had on last Mon.
day. And remember that you can't escape
your share of taxation by converting tax
able property into greenbacl;s or bonds.
In that case it is the duty OF the Assessor
to list the property or money SO converted
for the portion of the year it was held by
the owner. The exemption of United
States bonds and greenhacks from taxation
only applies where they have been held
for one year preceding the second Monday
Of April. II person holds the bonds or
greenbaCks one.half OF the year, only one
half the amount is exempt from taxation.
II he holds them one month, then only
one-tweltth OF the sum is exempt, and in
the same ratio for any portion Of the year.
This is matter that should be carefully
looked after by the Assessor.-S. CIqirS-
