For the information Of trespassers,
the following, will be found in the
acts of 1882, page %:
any person shall shoot, hunt,
range, fish or fowl within the inclosed
bounds of another person without
permission, from owner, occupier or
agent, he shall forfeit three dollars
for each offense to the owner When
any person is convicted q third time
of said offence, the justice rendering
judgment therefor, shall require him
to give recognizance, with good Sc

hundred dollars for his good behavior

security, commit him to Jail for one
month, unless it be sooner given and
such recognizance shall be forfeited

The Constitutional Amend =
rnent Middle.

There appears to be speck Of
trouble q good deal larger than q
mans hand in the recently enacted
law with a view to changing the time
for holding the State elections from
October to November, so as to be held
cotemporaneously with the Prcsiden-
tial election. or course it will come
before the people to be voted upon as
an Amendment to the Constitution
The voting upon this amendment will
be in October 1884. The Presidential
election comes the following month.
The question raised is well there have
to be two State elections, that year,
one in October under the constitu-
tioa as at that time, the other in No
vember in case the amendment is adj
opted at the preceding October elec
ton? 1t seems to us the only answer
is an affirmative ono, and that in DC
tober 1884 we must elect State otii
GERS under the present constitution.
If the amendment is then adopted it
takes effect from the day of the cleo
ton. and having gone into effect and
become as much Il part OF our organic
law as any other part thereof. We
must in 1884 hold State election
Just as much as in any other year and
those elected in November of that
year will supersede those chosen i'll
October. Should the amendment fail
of carrying, there will be no trouble.
But the amendment wW carry. The
Republicans will support it heartily
for many reasons and the bulk of our
own party will do likewise. So there
may be two sets Of officers elected one
in October, the other in November,
and contested election cases are fear
ed. The Republicans will glory in
the chance OF mending their hold af-
ter being defeated in October and raj
" in November again. Some of the
press are predicting a terrible muddle
and some think it will be necessary
to call an extra session of the Legis-
lature and correct it. This is not a
bad suggestion for by next January
the laws of 1882 and 1889 will have
been tested and some OF them may
require modification. But barring
this remedy it seems to us it would
be an easy matter for our party to
nominate and elect their ticket in
October and if the amendment is
then carried we can without anymore
conventions, elect them again in No
vember. We are not uneasy. 1t will
require something more than this
speck of war to endanger our control
of this State KonaWha Gazette.

Excursion Tickets 10 the West
at ExtraOrdina Low Rates.

The B. & O. r. r. Co. have an
nounced that until further notice they
will sell round trip excursion tickets
to all Land Grand points west of the
Missouri river, every day in the week,
at the same rates, or lower, than the
so-called cheap land excursions adj
vertised by some lines to take place
on specified days. The rates will be
so low that it will be impossible for
inferior and roundabout lines to make
a less rate. We would advise any
one contemplating trip west to call
upon agents of the B. d O. r. r. to
procure their tickets. The tickets
will have all of the privileges granted
on the socalled cheap excursion tick
cts. Single tickets, one way,will also
be sold at as low rates as are offered
by other lines.
The superior advantages offered by
the B. d o., with it's three through
trains daily necessitating but one
change of cars to the Missouri river,
makes it the quickest and best route
for all points in the west
Parties will always find it to their
advantage to see the agents of the B.
d o., before purchasing their tickets,
and they will have no trouble about
rates.

The Star. Route Defense Begun.

The government has closed its case
in the Star route trials so far as the
introduction of direct testimony is
concerned 1t has succeeded in ma
terially strengthening its position by
the presentation Of evidence not at
tainable at the first trial. The testi-
mony of Rerdell, Boone and other new
witnesses is very damaging to the de-
PENDANTS and has lessened their chan
ces of acquittal.
The defense, which opened yester-
day, will probably direct it's attention
mainly to attempts to discredit the
government witnesses, especially Rer-
dell. This is foreshadowod by the
calling of Congressman Belford, of
Colorado. as the first witness. While
ostensibly attempting to prove by
him that expedition was demanded
by the great increase of population in
AOlOI dQO duV OIu6i W cSbCiu CNdlcS
and Territories, the real efforts of the
counsel were directed to an attempt
to get from him a contradiction of
Rerdells statement that one of the
checks marked "maiP' was given to
him. The Court was not disposed to
receive the testimony unless the de
Tense would produce the check book,
as they had been required but had
declined to do. Notwithstanding their
failure in this instance the counsel
for the defense will use every means
within reach to break the force of this
testimony. But that their case is
weak is plainly, evidenced by their
refusal to put the defendants on the
stand, who could deny Rerdell's state
ments if they are not true, and their
failure to produce the books which
would refute these statements if they
had been merely cooked for the occa-
sion. 1t there was no truth in his
testimony, either of these methods
would demonstrate 1t.
That the trial is still far from its
close is apparent. The examination
and cross examination of the witness
SEES called to refute the government
testimony and the long arguments OF
counsel on both sides must of neces-
sity consume several weeks yet

There are only four nations in the
world to-day that are paying their
way. England generally manages to
make ends meet and show trifing
surplus of two or three millions to be
applied to the reduction of its enor-
nous national debt: the United States
in spite of Congressional extravag-
ance, puts by every year nearly fifty
times as much; and Holland and
Belgium both keep about even. With
these exceptions every nation in the

We cannot say that the second SEES
sion of the Forty seventh Congress
was much more creditable than the
first The last River and Harbor
bill was not so large as the former
one, but it was passed by the incor-
rigible majority of'the House in the
face OF the existence Of large unex-
pended balance left over from the ap-
preparations of last year All the APP
preparations Of this session have-been
characterized by the same reckless
and squandering spirit which finally
brought SO many statesmen to grief
last fall. Taxation has only been
reduced to the extent of diminishing
the internal revenue by about forty
millions; but the burdensome and
costly machinery for collecting it and
The political and partisan efficacy of
that machinery remain the same.
The same number of office holders
will continue to draw their salaries
and work for the good Of the party;
and this is the whole story.
The end of this Congress has left
the country in as great need Of an
honest and determined band ofrefor-
mers in Congress as did the end of
it's first session.
The newly elected members, when
they assemble in December, will find
about as much work co be done as
though the angry wave that swept
over the country last fall had washed
them into their seats before ever Civ
ing Secor Robeson and his associates
another chance at the Treasury.
Moreover, the fact must not be for
gotten that, although they are secure
in their places for two years to come,
the election Of new President will
come around next year, and Its result
will depend in great measure upon
the wisdom which the new men NAV
display in their first session.-N. Y.

The late Congress appropriated the
enormous amount of 1886, $4,000 for
pensions alone. This vast sum was
called for by legislation which the
preceding Congress had coGsummat-
ed; but the Forty seventh rejected all
attempts to undo this legislation or
mitigate its consequences, and accor-
dinghy it shares the responsibility of
laying these burdens on the country.

Dear Sri beg leave to respond,
through you, TO the papers placed in
my hands before leaving Morgan
town, all Of which / have carefully
considered, and some Of which | have
read, for the first time, since return
ing home. These papers, emanating
from the Regents, Officers and Stu
dents Of the University, all concur in
asking a withdrawal Of my resigna
ton of the Presidency of that institu-
ton which was rendered some six
weeks ago to take effect on tho 1st Of
March. This resignation was die
tated by reasons of ~ public nature
which will readily occur to any one,
and by my desire to return to my
family and to my profession, whose
pursuit relinquishcd for the position
in question, it has since become both
my duty and interest to resume as
soon as possible. These latter rea-
sons are as strong to-day as ever, but
| am reluctant to set them over
against the supposed interests Of the
University, and in accordance with
the request made, | Withdraw my
resignation until the close Of the
college year.
As | do this chiefly, if not solely,
in Difference to the judgment and
wish expressed in these several pa
pers, | deem it but proper to accom-
pany the withdrawal with the condi-
ton. that beyond the unavoidable ex-
penses incurred in performing the
duties of the Presidency for the resi-
due of the session, my services to the

sation. Grateful for the kindly
