relations with you have been of short duration,
but at the same tune of the most intimate
character. Coming among you II stranger less

ciate the strong support you have at all times
so generously accorded me in your 1r1ensdhip
and confidence. have endeavored to dis
charge my official duty toward you justly with
whatever of ability may possess. socially,
have utterly failed in reciprocating the numer-
oas courtesies rendered me by you from time
to time.
This last act of kindness is greater than
could bear were it not for the fact that your
friendship assumes a two-fold character and
places in my hand strong support. In con-
clusion gentlemen, allow me to offer you, in
dividual1y and collectively, my sincere thanks,
and assure you of the higrs personal regard

A Coon EXAMPLE.-We observe that n JEFF
ferson county, W. Va, the assessment of the
county levy is published for three successive
weeks in all the papers published in that
county, making nearly two columns of small
type. Every item of county expense Is pub
lished, even those as small as one dollar. This
is as it should be, for then the people can know
exactly what becomes of their money, and, as
they have it to pay, they have right to know,
and should demand that they be allowed the
opportunity to know-they are the masters,
and the officials are their servants, and GER
tainly the masters should know what use their
servants are making of their money. In this
regard, the officials of this county have been
remiss In their duty to the people.

WHAT THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY DE
MANDS.

{ MANDS.
| 1.-THE fate of Ananias and Sapphire were WIS.,
| tied upon persons at this day. what a slaugh-
ter would have occurred in the Courthouse
| last week during the examination of witnesses
in the trial of Maggie Greaver! Such q spec
tacle was never exhibited there before and it
is hoped, will never be again. 1t had the effect,
no doubt, of confirming the faith of the believ-
ers in the doctrine of total depravity." The
strongest nerves were shocked, and the stout
est hearts were appalled,, at the great audacity
with which perjury, unconcealed, and "most
| foul and damnable,' was committed, and the
spectators and auditors were not only amazed,
| but disguised to an inexpressible degree, and
! the Judge upon the Bench expressed palpa-
BILE truth when he said that half of the testi-
mony was lies" If justice could reach the
guilty parties. and the law against the crime
of perjury be enforced and its penalties inflict-
| ed, there would be considerable addition to
the inmates of the State prison.
| The safety of the community requires that
| the law against perjury should be prom pity
and rigidly enforced. Ii is time that examples
were made OF some. If brioed and perjured
Witnesses shall go UNPUBLISHED, there is sa-
| cur1ty for the character of any man woman
| in the community. A wicked and malicious
| person will have it In his power to ruin the
character Of any man or woman, and the graft
| ification of his hellish revenge will not cost
him more than a trif1ing sum. The demand of
| the hour is. the conviction and punishment OF
some perjured witnesses. A few examples of
| this kind would have most salutary effect.
! Character Is OF more value than proper
| ty, or even life ITSELF and yet there is no pro-
| lection to character, If malicious and revenge
full persons shall have it within their power.
through the agency of bribe0 and perjured wit
nesses, to destroy it. The character of the best
man OR the purest woman may be blasted with
| in1punity. No family would be safe. The per-
| jurer is more dangerous than the robber or in
| cendiary. because he may destroy what is more
valuable than property; and he will be tempt
ed TO do it, SO long as he can do so with irlpu >
nifty, and receive his reward, either in the graft
| ificatlon of what he may. consider a Sweet re-
venge'' or the reception of the price OF his per-
| jury-the thirty pieces OF silver AS there
Is no probability that such perjurers will. like
Judas hang themselves, the Common wealth

them in the penitentiary-the proper place for

the trial. conviction. and punishment of per-
jurers The safety Of the com Enunity demands

Senator Hampton.

1t has been given out heretofore and
generally understood by the people of the
State, that Senator IIamp,oa would decline
re- election to the United States senate.
But NOW ii is given out on "good author.
ily" that while he would prefer to retire
from public life and devote the balance of
his days 10 private affairs. he is, ncverthc>
less, Nt the service of the people aud will
serve them as long rs they demand his
services. Ii Senator Hampton desires n
reelection, VIC suppose he can secure il
without much trouble, but if he does not
why force it upon him? There are, per-
haps. hundred men in tho State who
would represent the State as ably and as
efficiently as General Hampton does, and if
his private affairs demands his personal
supervision, we think it would be an net of
injustice TO force him TO sacrifice them to
serve The public, especially when others,
equally able without private interests to
sacrifice, are willing to take his place. II
Senator Hampton desires re election, lei
him come out plainly and eny 80, if no,
ct him say so. Then the people will know
what he wants.
There is no necessity Of forcing him &c
crve the people against his will and pri
ate interest. AS TO our own part we have
10 objections to lIampton's re election, but
he dccsnt desire it we see no necessity
T forcing it upon him.

Tor they are to be furnished anyway il the
roads are ever workc,l, and rs the farmers
do not keep such things NJ picks, | think it
would be best for the County to furnish
them.
81. That nll males between the ages Of
sixteen and fifty years, be liable to rond
duty; that we do not have so much cxcmp-
tion-none to be exeml ted except regular
ly ordained ministers Of the gospel; that
each hand he required to work seven days
IN ench year or pay one dollar for cnch day
that he fails to work, nnd that the overscer
have tho power TO collect the same before n
Trial Justice and use the money thus col
lccted in working the rond; and that if n
hand works more than seven days that he
receive one dollar per day for the days work
ell IN excess of seven. The reason why
think every pe.0on should work is this: the
blacksmith the doctor. school teacher, car.
pentcr and the miller all follow their pros
fessions md trades for living, just the
same as the farmer-thorefore they should
work the same.
4th. That MI criminals Of tho Trial JUS.
tees Courts, sentenced to Jail should
work their time out on the roads, then in
addition to the punishment, he would be
doing the country some good.
9th. ]! there is no change in the law |
would most earnestly ask the Grand Jury
to recommend that the County furnish for
the purpose Of working the roads, say two
picks and two shoycls TO the section, TO be
used for that purpose and no other.
