One difference between the esteemed
REeIsrER and the intelligence is that the
Htelligcneer never fans Itself INTO . I've,
column.and.a-half bogus Especial dispatch"
on any subject Yesterdays Intelligence.
We have heard that several times be-
fore. 1t would vary the monotony q
little if our contemporary would now deal
with the matter of the dispatch to which
he refers instead of the manner Of its
reception.
The whole city and State have been
interested in, and freely discussing the
subject of the prohibitory amendment
for the past few weeks. 1t has been the
exciting topic in the Legislatures yet.
IT has been the leading topic on the
street, in the home, in the social circle,
IN the public halls of the city.
Nevertheless, the Wheeling InteAf-
qencer, making some pretentions to en-
terprise and freshness as a public Jour-
nal, has not had one word or syllable to
say Oh the subject. The more the mat
ter agitates the public, the more it
tightens up. The more the people be-
come interested the more Obliyious it
becomes.
The nearest approach it makes to the
subject is TO sneer at the enterprise of
the REGISTER in laying before the Leg
stature, at an opportune time, two
columns o Conformation upon the work
ings of a %prohibitory law, from the
Governor of Kansas.
Maybe the ideas of the Intelligencer
and the REGISTER differ as to what is
newspaper enterprise. We hope they
do. Maybe they differ also as to the
merits of a public journal which lacks
either the courage of its convictions or
the enterprise to deal with the leading
and absorbing questions Of the hour.
We hope they do.
unexpectedly suggest that criticisms
are in very bad taste from a journal
occupying such a position before the
public, as to what constitutes newspaper
enterprise and prOpriety.

tended, il is thought, by the addition Of
perhaps five other offices that employ
fifty or more persons. The law does
not forbid the application Of the compe-
titive system TO other offices, but per-
mits the heads OfdepartmentS, by order
of the President, to arrange in classes
the clerks Of "Other offices" from time

Major Bennett's Rejection.
NonntaiD Herdid.

The Senate has refused to confirm Gov.
Jackson's appointment of Major f. \. Ben
nett as one of the Regents OF West Virginia
University. Why the Senate refused to
confirm Major Bennett, we are at a loss to
know. He had been appointed before, and
confirmed by the Senate at its last session;
had served as Regent nearly two years, and
made a most excellent officer. There was
no member of the Board of Regents that
took more interest in the University, or
was more capable OF giving it intelligent
direction than Mr.. Bennett, and it is a mis-
fortune to the State that his appointment
was rot confirmed. 1t is true, he has a
mind Of his own, and possesses the courage
to do what he conceiyes to be proper, audis
not easily turned from his purpose, either
by c~ajolery or threats, but that should OPP
crate TO his advantage, for such men are
needed to I'LL these position.

WEST VIRGINIA HISTORY IN POR.
~TRAITTRE.

For a number of years past the prop
Osition has been advocated in and about
our legislative halls, of procuring por-
traits Of the several eX. Governors of
West Virginia to be hung in one OF the
halls of the capitol.
The impression prevailed to some ex-
tent that the last Legislature made pro-
vision for carrying out this purpose, but
it seems to be a mistake, although steps
were taken TO that end. Quite a num-
Der of members of the present body are
interesting themselves in the matter
and it may yet take shape.
Tie custom prevails in most OF the
States, and i'm some of the older States
one of he most interesting features is
TO examine the Old-time ikenesses Of
the Old-time Governors in their old
time costumes, decorating the walls of
the capitol.
West Virginia has five ex-GOvernorS,
all Of whom are still living. They are
Messrs. PIERPoINT, STEPHENSON,
FOREMAN, JACOB and MATHEWS. 1t
is therefore quite practicable, at this
time, to secure excellent likenesses of
these gentlemen for the purpose men,
toned.
1t may he that the fact of all of them
being alive, as yet, has had a tendency
to cause a little indifference and to eX-
cuse delay in putting the State in pos
session of these portraits, but it is much
easier TO do it now than it will be here
after, and if 'twere done it is well 'twers
done quickly.
There is no more pleasantand impress
sive mode Of perpetuating the history of
a State than in pictures. They serve
the double purpose of instruction and
of embellishing the Capital building.
The visitor takes in at a glance the
men and events that constitute the
chief epOchs in our history, and it keeps
alive a e~ommendable State pride to see
the States chief building tastefully
decorated with such appropriate orna-
ments as the portraits of her leading
men and views of great events pOr-
trayed on eanvas.
There is no State in the Union that
has a larger field to tempt the artists
pencil than the territory now included
i'm the State of West Virginia. Some Of
the historic events which belong to this
state are more sought after now by the
general reader than any in the history
of the country. Such events as occur
red in the early Indian warfare, or the
struggles of the Revolution, one of
which has recently been painted by a
local artist, Mr.. FAIRS, entitled "The
Last Battle of the Revolution" or even
the later incidents in the battles Of the
Rebellion; or some of our grand, noun
tain scenery, would make most apprO-
nYiate and desirable decorations for our
Capitol halls. 49,,
A little money judiciously invested
wear by year, in this way, would by
no means be lost to the State. Better
this than the dingy, dllapidated Capitol
With bare walls and no single evidence
of taste or pride in and about the Capt.
tai building.

v RIGHTS.

The Supreme Court continues to elu-
cidatc and unravel that MUCH muddled
subject of "civil rights" The Rich
mOnd Dispatch notes the fact that it
again ''plumbs the track" and decides
that q State has tue right to forbid mar
riages between whites and blacks, since
such a law operates alike upon both
races, it being the same crime for a
white to marry u negro that 1t Is for a
negro to marry a white. The same
court decides, however, that no State
has the right to provide by law that all
its jurors shall be whites, since such a
law operates differently upon the two
races, men of the one race be-
ing deprived of the privilege of
serving upon juries, and men OF
the other race being compelled to
serve upon juries. BY the way, the
privilege" of serving upon juries is re-
garded by most white men engaged in
business very much as they regard the
privilege" of taking nauseous medi-
cines. The negro, on the contrary, feels
honored by being placed upon a jury
more, we suppose, because it throws
him into contact with white men than
because he desires an opportunity to
mete out justice to his fellows. MOORE
dearly loves q lord" said Lord BYRON
of the author of I.alla ROokh. SAMBO,
in like manner, dearly loves a white
man. He likes to be noticed by white
men, talked to by white men, and
treated as an equal by white men.

Partisanship In the University.


This is the first year, since the Democrats
have been in power, that it has been under
Democratic management. Is that partisan
ship? There is not a single instance on
record of 4 removal of a professor or teach
er merely because he was q Republican.
There are now four Republican professors
in the school. How many Democratic pro-
fessors were there when the Republicans
had the management? Not one, at least
rot till several years after its opening.
Indeed one of the Republican professors,
himself has called attention to this very
thing, and says that the Democrats have
shown q far more liberal and progressive
spirit than the Republicans did.

Major Bennett and the senate.
Ritchie Gazette.

We cannot imagine why the Senate Of
West Virginia should single Out Major
Eenuett rs an individual, whom of all the
Governors appointees as Regents OF the
West Virginia University, it should refuse
10 confirm. Major Bennett is an able, up
right gentleman, worthy of a great deal
more important position than this One.
We know him personally as one worthy
of friendship and the peer of any member
OF the State Senate. No one can look into
bis clear cut, frsnk, handsome face, and
not like him. We can only suppose the
Senate does not know MIN, and hope it
will relieve itself of this misfortune as
Soon as possible.
