BARGAINS.

Mr.. EJtor.-My expe Renee in life
is that it takes two to make a bargain.
Ii the bargain is a dishonorable one,
each party to it should be held to share
its dishonor. The party originating
the dishonor should, in my judgment,
be held most culpable. If Mr.. Lucas
proposed bargain that he had no
right to make to Judge Hoge he GER
tainly was the leader in the dishonora.
BILE transaction. Judge Hoge showed
weakness in acquiescing, unless he
qualified his consent as he claims TO
have done. The people are Dot ami.

conduct by selecting less ambitious
leaders. ! would suggest your gallant

Col. Jno. w. Grantham answers salts
factorily the inquiry as to why an appro,,
priation for repair Of the Normal School
building at Shepherdstown was not made
by the last Legislature. 1t was not asked
for by the State Superintendent Of Schools

therefore our late delegates stand acQuit-

The question as TO whether "repairs

President OF the Board of ReSentS and
Mr.. Grantham. Mr.. Butcher says he did
ask and Mr.. Grantbam says he did not.
Information has been received from 9TH

tham's explanation, which is by no means
satisfactory to the friends of the College.
Professions of interest amount to nothing
when actions do not correspond to them.
Both of our county representatives,
when candidates for the legislature eX-
pressed great interest in Shepherd Col
