DEATH OF DR. HUGH w. BROCK.

DR.. HUGH w. BROCK, one Of the
most distinguished physicians Of the
State, and head of the Medical Depart
ment Of the University of West Nir-
ginia, died at his home at Morgantown,
on yesterday.
There were few physicians more
learned, more skillful, and more highly
esteemed, both among members of his
profession and his acquaintance, than
the deceased. A brother physician in
Wheeling remarked, yesterday, on
learning of his death, that "he was the
most splendid physician in the State"
And this estimate of his abilities is very
generally shared by the physicians OF
West Virginia. No man was more am
bilious to master problems of his profess
sion; none took greater pains
and studied more deeply; none was bet
ter posted, or kept pace more fully with
the progress and developments Of med
zeal science. He was prominent in all
movements for the elevation and i'm
provement of his profession in the State,
and recently represented the State in
the International Medical Association
at London.
Not only was he distinguished and es-
teemed as physician, but as man
whose personal character and reputa-
ton was without spot or blemish. He
had the complete confidence of all who
knew him. There was not the slightest
faint Of hypOericy or deceit in
him. He abhOrred all shams.
He was frank, straightforward,
manly, and absolutely incorruptible in
all the relations of life. He did nothing
for effect; was sincere and upright in
all his impulses; and there is, perhaps,
not a man of his acquaintance who
would not have taken his word as will
ingly as his bond This is high praise,
but those who know him, know also,
that it is Justly due the character of the
deceased.
He has dropped out of his place in the
prime of manhood, with capacity for
great usefulness, and with the promise
of great honor and distinction in his pro-
fession. His death is loss to his own
community, to the University and the
profession he so much honOred.

CONErPTO THE SCRATCH.

"For the information Ofthe REGISTER
we will state that this paper has never
endorsed, and does not endorse, any
system of gerrymandering in West Nir-
ginia or elsewhere, that is contrary To
the constitution of said State or the law
of the United States. "-IHtGifgcRcCr.
But that is not the question. \ State
contemporary has asked the editor Of the
Intcligcncer what he thinks of the Re
publican gerrymander in Ohio.
That's the question; and no shifting
or lodging.
That editors bristlcs stood straight
out for some time after the redistricting
by Democratic Legislature in West
Virginia, but since the redistricting by q
Republican Legislature in Ohio, ihe has
been as demure, and mum, and shady
ss Quaker at chapel.
Naturally people are curious to know
what to thinks about it.
An editor whose righteous mdigna-
ton swells and bubbles and boils over
when one State reapportiOns so as to
hold its own, is expected to have some
thing to say when State Immediately
adjoining and OF vely near relationship,
reapportiOns so as to disgust even its
own party with its greediness.
What does that editor think about it,
anyhow?
1t does not comport with the high
sounding pretensions Of a high political
morality to boil over on West Virginia,
but not even simmer on Pennsylvania,
Virginia and some other neighboring
States.
There is Pennsylvania, right on our
border, in which the Republican gerry
mander is intended to give the Demo-
Gratis but ten of the twenty-eight Con-
gressmen.
There is the MAHONE-ARTHUR gerry
mander in Virginia, which misearried,
which was to give the Democrats but
one-fifth of the delegation in Demo-
cratic State.
But the over-shadowing job is right
here on our border in the State of Ohio,
where q Republican Legislature has en-
deayored to fix up seventeen Republic

THE Germans who run the famous
hilltop houses in Cincinnati threaten
to get ronnd the new Sunday law by
closing from sunset on Friday to sunset
OH Saturday, and by employing Jews
as walters, claim the exemption from

scientiously observe the seventh day as

in a double loaded editorial that the
game would not work and advises them
to close their houses on Sunday and go

twenty-one; with 3 majority for FOSTER

simple statement Of the care attests the
enormity Of the job.
Nevertheless, the sensitive condition
of the LnteHigeneey's political morals is
untouched! 1t responds elequently in
behalf of West Virginia, yet is singularly
silent on Ohio. But it does not suffice
to shift the subject to West Virginia,
when asked for its opinion Of Ohio.
The question is what does the hteNi-
geneer think Of the gerrymander in
Ohio?

throughout the alleged frost-bitten re-

surface in the Eastern papers, but from
the South there is little improvement
on frat estimate.
