West Virginia's Wrongs.
There is probsbly no State in the Union
upon whose inhabitants more outrageous
injuries have been inflicted by rulings OF
the War Department than West Virginia
Nearly every county in the State includes
residents who were loyal to the federal
government during the war and who saw
their property tasen or destroyed for the
use of the Union army without doubling
for al instant that ;heir losses would be
made coed to them. Tney presented their
vouchers ana statement OF losses for in
SrsCIIGn sDd expected TO be permitted to
prove their loyalty and the Justice of their
claims by the same sort vi testimony ordi-
Larily received by courts of justice. Un-
fortunately for many OF them the Govern
ment made no provision for permitting
them to establish their claims in this way.
The plan first adopted Was to rest the
whole case of claimant upon the report
OF special agents sent out by the War De-
partment to examine into claims presented.
Many OF these agents were nOtoriOuSly un-
ht to perform this work. Some OF them
were prsJudiced, others were dishonest,
the whole Of them were rated in the de-
parlment by the number OF cases they
were able TO have thrown out or reduced.
Thus the claimant in many instances with
Just and equitable claim found himself
the victim of a system that not only put
him at the mercy Of the agent but pre-
vented him from taking any appeal or sub
StUuently prosecuting his claim, since
cases thus examined were not allowed to
be considered subsequently, when the
law was changed

Arrival Of the OunaIaska.


P. N. Hansen has received during the
last week a large and selected stock OF
fancy and staple groceries, consisting OF
Clough's uncovered hams and bacon,
choice mess pig pork, pickles put up in
pure wine vinegar, imported Swiss and
Limburger cheese, maple sugar and
syrups; also, a fine assortment OF lunch
goods; Thurber's celebrated New York
boneless Goldfish in small boxes for FAM
lily use, Turbers's mixed bird seeds, the
finest assortment in the market. He
is also constantly receiving choice ranch
butter from the best diaries in the sur
rounding country. His motto is always
to try and get the best goods to be had
in the market, regardless Of cost price,
and sells them in most instances as low
as inferior goods are sold by competi-
tors. It is well worth the trouble fer
any housekeeper to examine the goods
and compare quality and prices before
purchasing elsewhere. n
