HOARD OF REGENTS.
Some Important Changes Made
In the Board by the Governor.

The creation of new and addi-
tional Senatorial district this State
by the Legislature, last winter, has in
volved the necessity OF some changes
in the Board of Regents by the Gov
ernor The act does not contemplate
any changes in the geography of the
First, Second, Third and Fourth dis
tricts. The removal, however, Of DR..
Allen from the First made the APP
pointment of successor necessary,
and Mr.. VIM. p Wiley, of Wheeling,
was appointed in his place.
The changes in the Fifth district
throw both DR.. j. b. Stewart and Mr..
+. A. Bennett together in the new
Sixth, while Mr.. J. L. Armstrong is
the new man from the Fifth.
Mr.. Joseph +. Chiffon, of Lincoln
county, was appointed from the
Seventh.
Under the law the Governor was
required to appoint members for the
Ninth and Tenth districts, but the
present Ninth is the old Sixth, and
Henry S. Walker was discontinued
to make room for Mr.. d. G. Gallagher,
Of Charleston. The present Tenth
district is the old Ninth, and Hon. T..
J. Farnsworth, Of Upshur county, was
appointed.
The present Eleventh 1.-THE old
Tenth) will again be represented by
Mr.. Joseph Moreland, Of Morgantown.
John A. Robinson, of Mineral county,
of the Eleventh, is appointed for the
Twelfth, and Hon. Daniel B. Lucas,
of Jefferson county, of the old
Twelfth, is the new member for the
new Thirteenth district.-Register.

Judge ALI. f. RAYMOND, of Fai

Judge ALI. +. Raymond, of Fair
mont, is being urged to accept the
nomination for Congress next week,
at Piedmont. He has twice been
elected Judge of the Supreme Court
of Appeals, each time running several
thousand ahead of his ticket. West
Virginia never produced finer law
yer. For more than quarter of a
century he has been one of the most
distinguished members of the legal
profession of his State. He would
make very popular candidate.
Hon. B. F. Martin and Judge A. B.
Fleming are also being spoken of in
high terms for this exalted position.
Either of these gentlemen will be
triumphantly elected if called upon
to act as our standard bearer.

The Democrats of the Second Con-
gressional District are going to have
another love feast at Keyser, the Goth
inst. John Blaiar Hoge and Daniel B.
Lucas are barred; but the contest is
free to all other contestants. Will our
Democratic exchanges please answer
the following questions:
How will it do to nominate Hon.
w. l.. Wilson?
How will Hon. James Morrow do
for the candidate?
How would Hon. B. F. Martin
answer?
Is Hon. Fontaine Smith available?
Why not unite on Hon. Sam Woods?
Whouldn't George Sargent do?
Why not give Hon. Charles James
Faulkner another chance?
Wouldn't w. H. Travers make a
good candidate?
Could Judge A. F. Raymond be in
duced to accept nomination?
Has Gen. Sprigg been mentioned?
Has anybody thought of Frank
Beckwith?
How about Pat Croghan?

Gazette.
Allow us to assure you that any
one of the gentlemen named would
suit very well, and whichever OF
them is nominated will be the next
Congressman from this district. That
is about the size Of it.

Pig Iron Kelly of Pennsylvania,
recently delived campaign speech,
in which he said:
1--WE raised last year $l40,000,000
more than we needed, and hence the
result is the corrupt legislation of
the last session of this Congress.
They said: why, we have got the
money there; it is living dead; why
not use it?' / answer: In Gods
name, don't get it inp There is a
very ready answer. If they had not
taxed you laboring men for every
pipe of tobacco You smoke, for every
match with which you light it; il
they had not extinguished by taxa
ton the cheap cigars you used to
get; if they had not seized part Of
days earnings from you when you
got your wife or mother the alcohol
to put in her camphor bottle, those
$4,000, 900 would not have been in
the Treasury. / say those are moi
only internal taxes, but they are in
.fs,nol taxes"

The clerks under the government
who are summoned every week or two
TO surrender 2 or more per cent. Of
their official salaries to the necessity for
spreading literature among the people
explanatory of the issues which distin-
guish the Republican party from its OPP
ponents," of course esteem it mean
thing that they are so taxed. They
feel that, getting only the crumbs, they
should be more leniently dealt with
that, if the money is actually needed,
it should be contributed by those who,
in the allotment of the spells, have the
whole loaves.
MANY of them are very reputable
men and women, and while they could
not probably he convinced by any ar
gumeut that the demands made upon
them are at all just, would never-the-
less feel less sore concerning the loss,
could they have assurance that it was to
be, and was being, expended for repu-
table purposes. But they find it used
in Pennsylvania to continue the Gamer
oman sway, IN Virginia to help the he
pudiators under Malone. in Louisiana
to futher the canvass of the infamous
Kellogg who seeks TO be returned to
Congress, and in Tennessee to reflect
if possible to the National Assembly the
man Houk who is shown to Rave ex-
pended the instruments thus far sent

Committee has already decided that all
four Of these cases are deserving and
needy cases, and there is no doubt but
that all four will be literally helped
from the committee's fund. 1t must 90
decidedly against the grain of any man
with the slightest spark of respect for
himself and his government in his bo-
som, to know that money so brazeDly
filched from him, is used to put such
creatures in office over him. Leader.

The jury in the Star route cases
rendered verdict of guilty in the
cases of Miner and Reerdell, and of
acquittal in the other cases. j. w.
Dorsey had close call; the vote for
his conviction being ten and two
for acquittal. Very light sentences
will no doubt be imposed upon the
two small fry rascals, and the chief
conspirators will no doubt be allow

$55O,759.5O

1t will be seen from the above fig
ures taken from the official reports,
that the total of the funds expended
by the State for general school pur-
poses for six years of Republican rule
from 1864 to 1869 inclusive, was
1854, S47.65, an average per year of
1927, 807.94, while the same table
shows that for the first six years of
Democratic rule, from 1870 to 1875
inclusive, the total amount expended
by the State for the same purposes,
was 81, 405, 606.15, an average expen-
diture per year under Democratic
rule, of $91, 793.0S more than the av-
erage per year under Republican
rule. An aggregate expenditure by
the Democratic administration in six
years, of $550,75S.50 more for the
education of the children of the State,
than was expended by the Republican
administration for a like period of
six years. Will the Republican
NAV never cease to take in the
vile Misrepresentation prepared for
it. In our next we propose to
deal with expenditures for general
State purposes.-KdnaUha Gazette.

The Republican press Of New Yorl

The Republican press of New York
is much exercised about the situation
in that State at the present time.
The Times, the leading organ of the
party in New York city really con-
cedes the election of a Democratic
Governor this Fall, and the party
that carries New York this year, says
the Herald, can carry the country in
1884. The party that is defeated in
the coming campaign in this State
will have poor chance of electing
the next President of the United
States.

EDITOR New DOMINION that
the coast is again clear in the Con-
grcssional matter, cannot the Demo
Gratis of the district return to the old
party land mark-"Principles, not
men''-and be willing to sacrifice any
und all personal feeling and interest
for harmony and the success of our
party. Perhaps it would be well for
the Piedmont Convention to resurrect
that "relic of barbarism' from the
Bourbon age, the two-third rule. Let
us have strong Delegation from
our county, Of representative Demo
Gratis, WHO can go to the Convention
unpledged to any man, and having
only the ambition for success-wheth-
er it be by their favorite or some
bodyelse's- success anyhow.
The short time intervening before
our delegates will be appointed, will
prevent a canvass by candidates in
order to "set up" a delegation in
their respective interests, and we
may hope the scenes of our late con
fiict will not be attempted to be re-
peated.
United we stand, divided we fall.
So let us now do our duty and wheth-
er the man be Morrow, Martin, Brad
ford, Sargent or a Faulkner, let him
be nominated by the expression of
the people, and his election thereby
be made sure. S.

Upon further investigation, though
still meager, we found that this
county has considerable mineral re-
sources, much more than we at first
supposed All the coal found, be-
longs to Lower Coal measures. On
account Of the abundance of wood,
but little attention has been given to
the examination of the coal deposits,
and but few banks opened and work
ed, and these only where very acces-
sible. Iron ore, in appearance of
quality equal to that found on Deck
er's creek and Cheat river in Monon-
gala, is found, but we are unable to
say in what abundance. Not until
a Geological survey of the State is
made will this fact be determined.
Some very fine exposures for geologi-
cal examination and investigation
are found along the Elk not far from
Addison, and fossil limestone, per-
haps superior to that of Cheat in
Monongalia, is found just at Addison
and short distance above on the
main branch. Your correspondent
made small collection and found
some very good specimens.
TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
The County Institute held at Adj
Olson, commenced on the 28th of
August and closed on the End of
September, with an enrolment of
thirty-eight teachers. There were a
few teachers visiting at the Springs,
all OF whom participated in the exer-
cises, but all did not enroll. In the
opinion of the writer this Institute
was decided success. The teachers
were Jealous and active, and willing
! both to instruct and be instructed.
