Tax Commissioner jim Mason's malic.
nancy has been stirred to lis depths. Hon.
L. Willis Wilson has been induced to dc.
clare his lask OF sympathy with Mason's S
tl%.hunting, tax.consumiog, tax.bur,ler
ing syndicate. No wonder he is mad. He
bursts forth, like the shallow and rayine
dcmagosues oi his class, in the use OF such
choice terms as "inianous iiar," "traitor.n n
corrupt. sc0undr.P' &c. These are the
powerful arguments OF this class OF howl.
ing ireebooicrs. It's by the vigorous use
OF leather lungs we'll irei.hted with such
cpititets, that they distract the attention
OF the people while they are weaving a
web for their robbery by the saddling of
an unjust debt upon them.
The Register caught this fellow in his
lobby scheme before the Richmond Leris-
.lnture.. last winter aud exposed Him so
thoroughly rs. to cause his failure there.
For this she =wil<ncver- forgive us:@=tThc
at,yislcr. has now burst his hopes OF captur-
ing the now Democratic Administration 81
this State and making it snhservient 10 his
plots and schemes. And he gnashes his
teeth in rage. lie would knock lis down
with vile epithcts; but his cpithcts and
imprecations full harmless 10 the ground.
The Register has gained its point. Wilson
is committed against MaSon's machina.
tions; and Mason gnashes his venomous
teeth. In kicking at us he kicks Wilson
for not standing up to him.

The Connection OF T.. Willis Wilson with tL
Jim ainSon Wall Street Scheme,

Ihe connection OF T.. " ms Wilson with til o
Jim aihSon Will Street Scheme.
The Gfyister OF this morning will print
the following editorial articles:
The Charleston Times, the personal or.
gan OF Alr. L. Willis Wilson, sarhles the
Registers articles on Tax Commissioner
Jim hiason's campaign speech, recently
delivered ut the Opcra House IN this city,
and then bclabOrs the Register for desiring
Wilson's defrat. II it had printed The
whole article the object OF the Register
would have been apparent 10 its readers
But the people oi the State
are not so dull as not 10
SEQ that the aim was, after
jim Mason's ful somc culogium OF Wilson,
10 procure from Wilson distinct pledge
that he was in no way connected with tic
Mason Wal! street syndicate. Mason is Il
man that Wilson can afford to have no re-
lations with. The latter is from Mason's
county, and recently spent considerable
time i'll that county, had hail the active
help OF Mason and his syndicate friends in
West Virslnia in procuring his nonina-
t!on. and WIS receiving NdSon's cuiogiums
from the rosLrnm. The connec-
ton WAS growing intimate and
dangerous. The Register set about TO
break i up. 1t succeeded, TO Mason's in
finite disgust. With Wilson cleanly and
clearly divorced from that crowd, the
Democratic party cGu afford to make him
governor OF the state. Otherwise it could
not have done 50.
The people will see these things more
clearly i'll 4 year or two, when the free
hooters max" the sail they arc preparing
for on the devoted tax-3 3lycrs Of West
Virginia. Unit! then the Register will
wage its war in behalf OF the people, who
will in the cnd endorse its course and
thank it heartily.

fF WOOL,

BosroH, Oct. 1I.-I'he ddrcrtiser in its
weekly review OF tho wool market says:
The market, as the sales indicate, has
been slightly more active, but an analysis
Of the business shows that the sales of
domestic wool were only 800, 900 pounds,
and that the increase has been almost en-.
tirely in foreign woods, OF which 2S2, 900
pounds were Australian.
Although sales arc larger, not much
stress can be made upon any increase in
the demand for wool. There :'fiave, it is
true, been many manufactures in the
market looking dor; fine woods. and dc.
laincs: These fine woods arc: firmly held.
and selections are. becoming rather bro
ken. There is q good demand fox fine
territory woods to be used for filling in
ladies' goods, worstcds, etc., and prices Of
such are firm. Delaine selections arc
strong, but all medium woods are dull and
in buyers favor. The sales Of wooden
goods recently made at such low prices
have had a depressing elect upon the
wool market. The demand for California
wool is very light. We hear that all Cali
fornia can be bought in California at Ga7c
per. ID, and Mt those prices there is no
demand. A clip Of choice California wool
that was sold year ago at 59Ic secured,
is this year offered at -i8c. Some Geor-
gia wool has this week been sold Mt 2:}a
e3sc, and some Montana for 25c. For the
best NN Ohio now a6c il Il top price.
There is not a good inquiry for Y llceces
which are slightly in buyers favor.
