rE' Special to,the Register.
WASHINGTON, PA. August 2s.-Politically,
the atmosphere hereabOuts is lurid with
the fire and fame of Jonathan Allison's
Senatorial aspirations. Foxey George V.
Lawrence wants to go to Congress, Shallen-
berger, of Boone county, wants to stay, and so
does Oscar Jackson, of Lawrence county.
So each county in the district named can
didate, and each named three conferees.
Beaver and Washington make the Forty
sixth Senatorial district, and each has a
candidate and three confereeS. Judge Ag-
news son, Frank, bobs up serenely from
out the smoke and dust of battle
with the Stalwarts of Beaver, and
wants the Senatorship. Jonathan
Allison, of this county, tired OF digging
coal, wants job at Harrisburg, and
chance to vote for Cameron in 1855. The
conferees in each nomination have met,
voted and adjourned about a dozen times,
and the ides of November are drawing
near. Shallenberger is q Stalwart; Law
renee is given little to Independent lean
ings, and so far as heard from, Jackson Is
unsexed.
+, Don Cameron, "his fathers son." wants
Alhson's vote in the Senate more than he
wants Sballenbergers voice in Congress.
Don's ear has very peculiar construction
if he bankers after Jonathan's voice, for in
its mildest and sweetest tones its the most
unmusical voice you ever heard. If he
gets seat in the Senate the Legislative
Record will be oul of job, for the whole
State can hear him if he only whispers.
He can make more noise with his mouth
than a steam whistle.
Shallenberger has been in Congress four
years, and aside from his subseryency to
the bosses and vote for the Jumbo River
and Harbor steal, has made pretty good
Congressman.
Lswrence has been in Congress, Senate
Assembly and every where else he could
get, for the last forty years. And like
Oliver Twist, he still asks for more. Poor
Andy Hopkins is dead
The fight, complicated as it is is pretty
one, and now that Lawrence county has
awakened to a realizing sense Of her position
in the battle, promises to grow more inter
eStipg.

wheat at the provincial market declined 1@

GRAFTON, August 2S.-Every one with
whom l converse on the subject are unani-
mously in favor of the withdrawal OF
Messrs Hoge and Lucas, and if the same
sentiment prevails elsewhere, and l have
no reason to doubt it, there will be no
trouble in deciding this point on the 4th Of
September. Nothing short of the with
drawal Of both the present candidates will
satisfy the Taylor county Democrats.
llThe friends of J. w. Mason appear full
OF hope, and are confident of rolling up at
least one hundred over the usual Republi-
can majority for their man, but where his
vote is to come from is more than puzzle.
Mr.. Mason has many personal friends
among the Democrats of Taylor, but il he
counts on their support at the polls he will
be deceived. We're he a candidate for a
minor Office it would be different.

CLAREsBURG, w. Va, August 2S.-It is the
intention of our Republican friends to give
the Congressional Convention, which meets
on Wednesday, the best reception they
can. Clarksburg has had no hall suitable
for holding such a convention, the fair
grounds are too far from town. As to the
probable nominee of the convention there
is little change. General Golf can have
the nomination if he wants it, bat the
opinion is growing stronger that Gof will
premptorially decline the nomination, and
that 4. L. Hustled will have the next best
chance.
Col. Wilson's eldest son is a delegate to
the convention on Wednesday.
