News Matters.
NKw MlRrISsvIILE, July Especial ]
-Wet1el county has been invaded BY the
pedagogues, and the beautiful town OF New
Martinsville is the point at which our edu-
Gators have assembled in their deliberative
body, The West Virginia Educational As
soeiation" Notwithstanding the intense
heat ana the sudden announcement of the
change of time fromJuly y to July !, a
goodly number of our distinguished teachers
were in ATTENDANCE at the opening session
this afternoon.
The Association was called to order at
2:S0 p. IN, by its President Hon. b. L.
Butcher, State Superintendent of Free
Schools. Rev. Z. ". Reynolds, Of the NJ.
Z. Church, South, offered PRAYER. The
enrolment of members present showed an
attendance Of twenty-nine. Prof John G.
Cuttings OF the Clarksburg schools read a
very interesting paper upon The Old and
New in Education" Discussion upon the
subject was opened by Prof +. H. Crago
and participated in by Messrs, Watson,
Hodges, Anderson, Sipe Frederick and DR..
Mayo. The reading of Mr. Cuttings paper
aud discussion thereon occupied the time Of
the session, and at its conclusion the Asso.
citation adjourned,
Superintendent Butcher presides with dig
nifty
The presence Of Dr. Mayo, of Boston, is
an honor 10 the association worthy of men,
ton. His remarks this afternoon were
listened to with great attention. He will
deliver an address tomorrow evening on
Building for Children in the South.
Prof W. p. Willy, of the University, is
expected to arrive this evening,
Miss 4. Taylor, Of the Female Seminary,
and Messrs. Crago and Anderson, Of the
public schools, represent Wheeling.
The people of New Martinsville manifest
great interest in the proceedings of the as
SOciation.
The acuteness of the historical "Phladel-
phia lawyer" would be battied in ascertain
ing the time at this place. The q, X. K.
r., uses Central time which is IS minutes
slower than Wheeling time, the people of'he
town use Wheeling time, while most OF the
visitors use Eastern time which is - min
utes faster than Wheeling time.
The ride over the new railroad was eX-
ccedingly pleasant, and the pleasure is in
creased by the gentlemauly and courteous
trainmen in the employ of the company.

Beginning of the Work In the Kanawha
Valley.
WASHINGTON, July l. Special. Work
on the geological survey of West Virginia
will be commenced within the next week in
the Kanawha Valley. Prof |. c. White,
of the West Virginia University, will have
charge of this department of the United
States Geological Survey and will establish
headquarters at Charleston. The work of
the present year will be confined to the
immediate valley of the Kanawha and
New rivers, since only that portion Of
the region has yet been accurately mapped.
Within a year or two, however, or so soon
as the typographical maps can be published,
a larger corps will be put in the field under
Prof White and the work pushed to COM
pletiOn.
The policy of Maj. Powell, the Director
of the L. S. Geological Survey in thus de-
laying the geological examinations until ac-
curate maps have been constructed, since
the value of the work when completed will
then be permanent for all time is to be COM
mended.

al combination creates considerable cot
ment here to-day and great many peop
are disposed to place absolute confidence 1
the rumor. OIhes, and they are tn
more numerous class, believe it to be but /
muddying Of the waters, to cover ample an,
final preparations for Tilden's nomination
Still there are many evidences of Authentic
ity on the face Of the story. The positive
mention Of names goes long ways towart
establishing the rumor as a fact 1t j
urged that in a contest between Blame and
Butler thslaEyw So6Id carry Massachusetts,,
Is Is quito probable, also, that Il could
carry Two othsf Republican States, namely,
Michigan and Kansas since they ae boh
affected by certain radical lotions
with which Butler is mof or
less identified. Thus, supposins that
he would also get the votes . the
States that are put down as surely hmo-
cratic, the number of certain Demoratic
Electors would be lS9, while that ( the
Republicans would be reduced to l3S. But
in the event Of Buffers nomination, ali.
fornia, Connecticut, New jersey, and lew
York would be likely to go for him, as he
same ground swell among the massesof
the people would operate in his fatr
in those States also. Thus,
point of popular availability, Butler woul
be very strong candidate indeed, whilt
on the other hand, he would be likely t
lose pretty heavily among wealthy and con
servatiye voters, though probably no
enough to beat him. Moreover, his nomi
nation would make about the livelieSt can
vass seen in this country since the Seconj
election of General jackson.
But is there probability that Gen. But
er will be nominated?

BUTLER As THE CHICAGO NOMINEE.

4 One Of the most absurd political SenSa-
4 tons that was ever originated is the story
that a caucus Of Democratic leaders repre-
sening the various candidates for the Pres
idential nomination on the Democratic
ticket, had determined that Gen B. F. But
Ter should be made the nomiEce Of the
Democratic party for the Presidency. The
abSurdity Of man ike Bayari or CIeve-
land asscnting to such a farce is too appar-
ent. There are men Ike John Kelly, who
stand in the market all the time ready for
trades, that might willingly enter into such
a scheme If he saw thar It would profit
Kelly. In fac, Butler and Kelly could
readily harmonic on any proposition.
But if the sensational story OF the New
York conference is true, the most absurd
thing in ths world is to suppose that the
Democratic party, when assembled in con-
vention, would subscribe to any such hu-
initiating conditions as the leaders present.
And especially this year, when such man
as BLAINE leads the opposition. The Dem
Ocratic party once did a foolish thing in
nominating HoRAcU GREELY, but one
thing could he said in GREELYS fayor-he
was decent man And while the Natioa-
al Democracy did very Inconsistent thing
in GREELY nomination, there was nothing
disreputable about it. How could the De
mOcracy aSSail BrAINE'S put ,ic record while |
they had such man as BUTLER at the head |
of their ticket? How could they ask |
the confidence OF the people with a
candidate who has been connected with |
more disgraceful acts of american history |
than any man in public life, hardly except |
ing the Republican nominee for President. !
If Blaine IS tattoOed, Butler Is doubly so. |
If the Democratic party committed the
folly Of nominating Ben Butler, then the
Democratic party should lie a violent death.
The outraged American people should
crush it out aud they would. This is a
happy period when independent thought
and action prevail among the better
classes, and no party can afford
10 insult decent sentiment BY max
ing improper nominations and relying
upon the party lash to carry them through.
Thank God, that day Is past. 1t passed
away with the period when Blaine and But
Ter were Joint leaders Of the Republican
party in Congress and utilizing the strong
partizan prejudice that existed, forced
through some of the most iniqaitous legis-
htion that ever disgraeed the statutes Of
any country. While we do not for mo-
men, entertain the idea that there is eyena
possibility of Butler's nomination by
the National Democratic Party, we are frank
10 saw, that If it should be done contrary to
tut expectations, then the REslsTEE Will re
main true to its convictions Of what IS de-
cen. and proper and win use its fullest ex-
a,t;ons TO defeat bis election. We have no
taste for crow-not even Democratic crow
.,5 va can't touch bazzard at all,
