There is a very large element Of the
Republican psrty-to say nothing Of
the Democrats who are standing offin
this fight-who will subscribe with
great heartiness to the sentiments OF
the above letter, and who will likewise
very readily endorse the statements
contained in its sweeping arraignment
of the Grant regime and the terrific
impeachment of the Republican party
and its practices under that admins
tratiOn.
The pertinent inquiry with the pub
lie now is, was it this letter that aroused
General GOFF and inspired his active
efforts in behalf of the Ex-Governor at
Washington within the past few days?
1t will be remembered that General
GOFF was reputed to be n Of the &C
tive agents in planning the ex-Gover-
nor's removal and the appointment of
Mr.. MCCORMICK in his place. This
statement was made by Mr.. NCCoR-
MCK's friends here in Wheeling. They

as the responsible party for the move
ment against him when he, the ex-
Governor, was around on his war
dance.
But 10! all OF a sudden the scene
changes! When it was supposed that
PIERPOINT was securely pOcketed in
the triangle of a combination, one cor
ner of which was at Wheeling, a second
at Clarksburg, and the third at Grafton,
the REGISTERS Washington dispatches
disclosed the startling fact that Gen.
GoFF was is Washington, his corner
was deserted, and after hoo-nobbing
with the administration for a couple of
days had secured a partial promise of
Pierpoint's appointment to the CONSOLE
dated collectOrship!
Now, if Gen. GOFF is understood to
endorse the above letter of the ex-Gov-
ernor, and is gathering inspiration
therefrom, We heartily congratulate
him and score him two points on the
political checker-board.

PIERPOINT TO BLAIR-A POTENT
~pOIITICAL DOCUMENr,

The family fight over the West Vir-
ginia Collectorship has been prolific of
some very rare and racy developments
that will have place in or local pOllti-
cal hiatOry.
The Office of collector is a secondary
consideration to the public. We feel
very little concern as to where this fed
eral plum may fall. Gen. DUAL is q
good man and a competent officer, and
as the consolidated district will be
larger, the responsibilities of the collect
or greater, and the headquarters of a
new officer, whoever he may be, will
lie located at Wheeling, it has been
generally surmised that Gen. DUvAL
would naturally fall into the place.
But, as we have said, the general pub
lie attention has been diverted and alb
sorbed more by the peculiar manipula-
tons of the Republican managers who
have undertaken to dispose Ofthis Office,
than by any feeling or preference for
the candidates themselves. There has
been developed q kind of network of
cross purposes within the family circle
that the public is puzzling itself to
work out.
The family influences at one time
seemed to be set against eN-
Governor PIERroINT, but when
the Governor put ON his war
paint and began to move around
through the district with a surprisingly
nimble gait and the look of blood in
his eye, terror seized upon the mall
contents and they have since conducted
their operations much more quietly and
prUdently.
Moreover, one of the peculiar develop
ments to which We referred above, as
being turned up by this little three
COrnered fight, has gained for the ex-
Governor a good deal of sympathy, if
it has not also largely increased the
number Of his well-wishers among the
lookers-on, who would like to see him
win. We refer to the letter Of ex-Gov-
elnOr PIERPOINT to Hon. X. 5. BLAIR,
of Richie county, written in 1872,
which was contained in the SUNDAY
REGIsTER's Washington dispatches OF
the oath inst.
This manly letter has elected much
comment both in the city and out in
the State where it was largely read last

but that will admit that General Grant
is not fit to be President of the United

fulfill the expectations of his friends.
That he is a weak ruler-under the con-
troll, fully, of the most corrupt ring that
ever disgraeed the leadership of any pO-

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE OHIO PLAT.
FORM.


The Ohio Democratic platform is
silent on the Pendleton reform bill. 1t
is probable that the convention did not
regard that matter as entering into the
State campaign in a manner calling for
a specific declaration in the platform.
The Republican press is wont to con-
strue the absence of q civil service
plank, however, into a victory for the
MCLEAN faction and a defeat for Mr..
PENDLETON. But the nomination Of
Judge HOADLY for Governor is the
strongest endorsement the convention
could have given the civil service meas
ure. The man whom Mr.. PENDLEr0N
and his friends favored received the
nomination, and he was opposed by
Nh. P~ENDLETON'S enemies chiefly on
this ground. Mr.. PENDLETON has been
perSistently aSsa'led by the Cincinnati
Enquirer ever since the adjournment of
Congress, for his championship of the
reform bill. The bill has been repre-
scented to he a measure hostile to "poOr
men" and intended to ''retain all the
Republicans in Office" though it gives
poor men without political intiuen e
the only chance they ever had to OBJ
tom government employment, and
does not interfere to prevent the re-
moval of any or all the men now in the
service.
Judge HoADLN has been personally
associated with a reform organization of
this kind in his State. Heisa leader who
e n lead, and does not depend for his
uccess upon the promise of petty offices
TO his followers. His nomination j.
stronger than any civil service plank
that could have been put in the plat

Oregon Sholt Line intimating that some
new programme has been agreed upon
between the magnatcs of the different
companies, whereby the Union Pacific
men are not to build any further than
the mouth of Burnt river as claimed by
some, and by others that they will be al
lowed to make their connection with o.

ent data within our knowledge we are not
prepared to credit any portion of this
statement. We know from previous dem

have been doing their utmost to circum-

bluffng and attempted compromises, but
our faith has been and is up to the pres
time that they would not be able to ac-
complish that object. We have thought
and still think that the q. 5. l.. having
greatly the advantage in their selected

any inducements the Willard combination
might offer, and if any new and more
powerful inducements have been tried
with better success, they have not yet be-

committed suicide by poison, about two
miles west of Moscow on Friday; his name

A biz boom from the railroad; no depot
