MYSTERIOUS BEN BUTLER.
He Buys Vessel and Starts her ON
Secret Mission.

He Buys n tessei ana Starts ner on u
Secret Mission.
The recent purchase in Halifax of a
schooner named Conquest, a vessel
about twenty years old, by Gen. Ben
Butler of Boston, has created much
comment, and many surmises have
been made relative to the object of the
owner. The vessel sailed yesterday.
The Chronicle says: GAS her clearance
states she is bound for Port Crock
EFT, said to be in Madagascar, a
long voyage for so small a ves-
sci, and the secrecy with which
the whole enterprise has been gotten UP
makes it seem not improbable that that
port is not her destination. AS far as
We have been able to learn, it appears
that INQUIRIES for a British bottom of
suitable dimensions have been made
for some time past by Captain +. Tarr,
of Gloucester. Failing to find q suitable
vessel flying the British flag in Ameri-
can waters, Captain Tarr despatched an
agent to Canada, where, at last, in
Halifax, the required article was found
in the schooner Conquest, a gloomy,
black, piratical looking craft, with ex-
traordinary high bulwarks for a
vessel OF ner SIZE Nell httcu W
hide the small guns with which
observations lead us to believe she will
be mounted. Captain Tarr, who has
been here for the past two weeks, has
superintendent the alterations that have
been made in the vessel to fit her for
her peculiar trip, whatever it may
prove to be. Large quantities of stores,
sufficient for thirty or forty men for
nine months were taken on board the
Conquest. Notwithstanding the fact
Mat only two boys beside the captsin
and mate sailed in her from this port,
the departure of some TWEEN
ty ,seafaring men to the
eastward by land conveyance within
few days leads to the impression that
the Madagascar-boun6 vessel Is not go
ing to sea short-banded. Added to
what we have said, the fact that arms
and ammunition arrived by the last
Boston steamer, consigned to the pro-
jectors of this enterprise, has caused a
not unnatural feeling that Captain Iarr,
either for himself, or more probably for
General Butler, Is engaged in an under
taking that will bear watching, and the
outcome of which may be looked for
ward to with some interest.

As Viewed from the Fence.


PRUsTYrowS, ". Va, August 19.-The
smoke of the Keyser battle having cleared
away, the combatants begin to realize that
they have been fighting their friends. As
they bear away the wounded and cover
up the dead they find many familiar forms
who have for long years battled bravely
together in common cause. The unfortu-
nate result of the Keyser convention Is
deeply regretted by all Democrats. What
is to be done about it? say they.
Lucas are pretty equally divided, with per-
haps q small majority in favor OF Hoge
The Lucas men are determined. They are
composed of some of the best citizens and
most influential men of the party in the
county, and they will not desert their
leader. The Hoge men are equally liked in
their purposes. They claim that Hoge Is
the nominee and that Lucas and his friends
are boilers. Very few Lucas men in this
county would support Hoge, II Lucas were
withdrawn, and few Hoge men would
support Lucas il Hoge we're Withdrawn.
Tie Hoge men say that Mr.. Lucas by at.
tending personally most OF the county con-
yentions which appointed the dele
Pates, IMPROPERLY luuuruOca buc Ss
yentions and secured greater representation
in many Of the counties than the Demo
Gratis of the counties desired he should have;
or In other words, that he "set up" the
Keyser Convention while Hoge was ct
washington attending to his official bust
ness. The Lucas men on the other side say
that the delegates were appointed in the
manner and form authorized by the usage
of the party. They complain that the con-
yention did them injustice by refusing TO
recognize the delegates appointed at King.
wood Is the proper delegates for Preston
county, and by refusing to admit delegates
from Taylor county holding proxies - au-
tborized by the convention OF that county.
They also complain that Chairman Cofran
presided in dictatorial manner, refusing
TO put motions made by them, and declar.
ing questions against them not so decided
by the convention, and refusing division
Of the house The Lucas men seem per.
fectly willing that Lucas shall retire IL
Hoee does also, but not otherwise. In case
both shall be retired, 1t would be difficult
TO find man upon whom all would agree.
No man could be elected who was promi-
neutiy connected with either faction. The
Republicans enjoy the discontinued OF their
ancient enemies: but most Of them think
thsy will have 10 light united Democracy.

later, having lost ground owing to the mum.

Bicycling is popular sport in France,
and good exhibition never fails to draw
crowds. At the two days races given by
the Ogen Bicycle Club in July, about II, 900
people were present on the first day, and
fully as many on the second. The track at
this place is three laps to the mile, and over
it De Civy, the French champion; won sill
but one Of the events he started in, the eX-
ception being the international scratch
race, which was won by Charles Terrout
The noiseless manner in which the BIZ
cycle steals along, often gives its rider an
unexpected knowledge OF matters not in

tsrrupted tete-a-tetes in carriages overtak

OF the many racing paths in the world,
the Crystal Palace, in the immediate vicin-
ity of London, is considered the best. This
is a new but excellent cipder-p path, nearly
circular, made especially for bicycling, and
laid around one of the great fountains in
the Palace POUNDS. The centre is, OF
course, water, being the basin OF the fount-
ain. There are dressing-rooms near, and
boxes for the judges and members OF the
press. Grassy banks slope sharply up
ward from the outside, forming an excel
lent place for view, and side gravel path,
on higher level still, nearly surrounding
the course. r 49,

Lucas on Top I'm Hardy.

MoosEFIEIp, W. Va, August 1s.-The
feeling against Hoge in this county is very
strong. Lucas will get from two-thirds to
three fourths OF the Democratic votes, I'M
less compromise can be brought about be-
fore election day. The general feeling APP
pears to be that Hoge should have shown a
more manly and patriotic spirit. Should
he yet Conclude to do so and withdraw
from the field, Lucas will do likewise, aud
harmony will be restored and the Demo.
cratic majority in this district be retained
intact.
OLD FIELDS, W. Va, August 1s.-In re-
gard to the split in this district, II Is the
general opinion that the only way out OF
the trouble is for both Hoge and Lucas TO
withdraw, and let the united Democracy OF
the Second district unite on w. l.. Wilson,
or some other good man who is not in any
way mixed up in this fuss and let the cur
tain Of oblivion fall forever upon this bitter
personal contest, thereby uniting the party

moved by Hoge friends Upon them rests

In addition to several recent Improvements
and increased facilities for procuring ana
publishing the latest news, the proprietors
are now publishing Sunday edition-giv-
ing the public a paper every day in the

paper. The truth is, the time has come
when the people are not willing to DO with
a paper six days out of the week. IneY
want it every day. and if one paper does
not supply the demand some other one
will. The REGISTER S last Sunday edition was
mammoth affair, containing eight pages
