MIR. GIBSON's NOMINATION IN THE
FOURTH DISTRICT.

The Fourth District Congressional
Convention was, more than usually, q
harmonious body, and made its nomi-
nation without any display ofbad blood
or signs of detection among the friends
ofthe respective candidates.
The rivalry for the nomination was
heated, of course, as it could not other
wise have been among a number OF
prominent candidates who were all
good and able men, with warm sup
pOrters at their backs, and any one OF
whom would have made a worthy and
acceptable representative Of the district.
But when the Convention had expressed
its preference, they gracefully acqnies-
ced, as men should, and will unite in
furthering the campaign of their sue
Cessful rival.
The nomination of Mr.. GIBSON SEEM
ed to lie the most probable result Of the
Convention, although it was surmised
that the vote would be so divided as to
make ii impossible for any one Of the
more prominent candidates to obtain a
majority.
Mr.. GIBSON is very strong in the low
or end ofthe district. He will poll the
solid vote ofthe Democracy in that sec.
ton. His opponent, Judge LOOMS, is
presumably strong, also, in the upper
end of the district, but neither of the
candidates are likely to be stronger than
their party vote in any part of the dis
trict. 1t is strictly party contest, and
us such the election of Mr.. GIBSON is
foregone conclusion.
Mr.. GIBSON is quite we'll known t.
the people of the State. He was born
in Culpeper county, Virginia, and is
now in his fOrtieth year. He is self
made man, i'm the fullest meaning of
that term. He never attended school
after he was twelve years of age, and
has supported himself from the time he
was of that age, at manual labor, until
he was nineteen years old, at which age
he began the study of Law, and at twenty
obtained license to practice and settled
in Giles county, Virginia, with Sl3 in
his pocket and stranger to every one.
There he made his first political
speech against voting for the ordinance
OfsecessiOn, but after his State seeded
he raised a company and Joined the
Confederate army, participating in
many Of the hard-fought battles of the
war. In 1858 he was desperately
wounded by a cannon ball, which car
carried away the flesh of his left thigh
and u large portion Of the wall Of the
abdomen, exposing the lower bowels,
from which extraordinary wound he re-
covered sufficiently to re-enter the ser
vice, but has ever since been cripple
and a great sufferer.
After the war he returned to his home
in Giles county, and was chosen to rep
resent that and Pulaski counties in the
Constitutional Convention.
In 1871 he moved to the new town of
Huntington, West Virginia, where he
now resides. His political career since
that time is we'll known, and, we may
add, not unfavorably known, to the
people of West Virginia. Mr.. GIBSON
is public speaker Of no mean parts,
and may be depended on to make an eff
tective canvass in his district.

Mr.. Horr-It seems to me thatthis whole

4 MODEST DEMAND UPON OUR
POCKEr-BOOK.

On Monday last the city editor of the
REGISTER received from JailOr DAVIS
of this city, the following item of news,
communicated for publication, and
which appeared in Tuesdays issue of
the REGISTER:
Last evening. Squire Phillips commit

county asylum didn't work perfect cure

AS the above item came from q pub
lie officer in charge Of the Jail, who IS
supposed to know what he is talking
about, and whose intelligence and &C
curacy are above question, and
having been written out in
the handwriting of said officer, it was,
as matter of course, inserted just as it
came from his pen.
But the subject of that item Of news,
Mr.. ]. NAPOLEON LITTLE, having
complained of the publication, the city
editor ofthe REGISTER gratified his de
mand by inserting on the following day
the substance of n correction demanded
by Mr.. LITTLE, as follows:
An article appeared in yesterdays REsIs-
TER which did injustice to J. Napoleon Lit
tie and demands correction, which is will
ingly made. II stated that on Monday he
had been committed for examination for
lunaCy, when such was not the case. The
injustice was entirely unintentioual on our
part; and the publication was the result Of
a misunderstanding. Little has been pro-
nOunced to have a sound mind in sound
body and is conducting his confectionery
as usual.
SIN Mr.. LITTLE is not happy. He Is
not TO be satisfied with explanations
and corrections and such other reasena-
bic assurances as the circumstances un-
der which the publication was made
would furnish unreasonable man. He
has been advised by his attorney that
there is some money in it. He and his
attorney, or his attorney and himself,
have cOnned it over, and have come t.
the conclusion that a variance in the
published date of Mr.. LITTLE'S comm =
ment, as between the 18th of July and
the 14th of August, is worth to them the
exact snm of $1,000, and they have
made legal demand upon us to "shell
out" Ifthey had been less modest in
their demand and made it $4,000 We
might have complied, but for any less
sum than that we have declined

Ex-GcvERNoR HENDRICKS Is Of the
opinion that there is no truth in the al
legation that Mr.. TILDEN will never
again allow the use Of his name in con-
nection with the Presidency. "h you
knew Mr.. TILDEN as web as I do, you
wonld not ask that question, " he said to
the reporter. "Mr. TILDES,n he con-
tinued, sis most able man, one Of the
clearest headed men / ever knew. He
knows and you know and everybody
knows that he was elected to the Presi-
dency. He feel that he was most I'M
justly deprived Of that office. To man
of Mr.. TILDEN's strong character this
burning wrong must be righted, and he
will never rest satisfied until it is
.righted." Speaking ofthe Republican
candidates, Mr.. HENDRICKS gave it as
luis judgment that President ARTHUR
has no chance Of a denomination, and
that BLAINE 'has not the ghost Of a
show" "He Is handicapped, like AR
PHUR, by being the hero of a clique, the
partisan of faction" The probable
nom nee, the Ex-Governor thinks, will
lie "a dark horse" who is not identified
extensively with either faction.

A Terrible Pest.

The worst insect pest of tropical America
is the terrible fire-ant (HWBica soepissinia),
whose sting is likened to the punctme of
red-hot needle. 1t is found only on sandy
soils in open places, and seems to thrive
most near houses and i'll weedy villages,
Towns are sometimes deserted on account
Of this little tormentor 1t is small spe.
cies, of shiny red color, not greatly differ
ing from the common red singing ant of
our own country, except that the pain and
irritation caused by its stings are much
greater. Where it abounds the whole soil
is undermined by it the ground is perfor-
ated with the entrances TO their subterra-
mean galleries, and little sandy dome oc-
ours here and there where the insects bring
their young to receive warmth near the sur
face. Homes are overrun with them; they
dispute every fragment of food with the in
habitants, and destroy clothing for the sake
Of the starch. All eatibles have to be sus-
pended in baskets from the rafters, and the
cords well soaked with copaiba balsam,
which is the only means known to prevent
them from climbing. They seem to attack
persons out Of sheer malice. The legs of
tables, chairs and stools. and the cords Of
hanmocks, have to DO smeared in the same
EIy.

The Era of Murder.

Amid the general catalogue Of crime,
from successful and scientific" burglary
to bank-robbery after the most romantic
style, the record Of fearful murders stares
us in the face as n bloody page in the his
tory Of this nineteenth century, At
times, it would seem there must be in this
enlightened age, a certain stratum of crime
in which. alternately, some especial feature
takes precedence Insanity, temporary or
absolute, is a convenient plea on behalf of
those who kill their fellow men, and the
more appalling the deed, the stronger the
argument of the lawyers for the defence
And yet the insane murderers stalk

another killing" and find shelter from JUS
