WASHINGTON, June lO.-The prominent
mention of Mr.. Bayard in connection with
the Democratic nomination for President
and the strong favor with which his name
has been met by those Independents who
propose to bolt Blaine, has called attention
once more to the speech of the Delaware
Senator made at Dover in the beginning of
the war, Whether he did or did not make
disloyal talk to his friends and neighbors
Is the question, to the solution of which a
great many Democrats are now addressing
themselves, in order that it NAV be deter
mined IN time. Frank Burr and George
Alfred Townsend reported the speech at the
time, and as it was published it was Ger
tainly a accession document. But Bayard
claimed the report was garbled and that
sentiments were attributed to him that he
never expressed. His own version of the
remarks was printed in the New York
Sun IN June, 1850, and was pronounced
by Jacob ID. Cox, OF Ohio, to be
patriotic speech. Mr.. Bayard told a New
York Congressman who called upon
him in relation to the matter last night that
he was neither ashamed nor afraid of the
speech, on the contrary he was proud of it,
and cOurted its publication at this time 1t
will therefore, probably appear in the press
at once, so that it may be discussed and
fully considered before the action of the
Chicago Convention. While Mr.. Bayard
stands upon his speech and is willing and
anxious to 20 before thu convention and the
country on his record Southern man who
was questioned about the matter took a
different view and said the Democrats could
as we'll afford to nominate Wade Hampton

GEosGErowS, W. Va, June l0.-A
drought which was ushered IN with frosts is
causing some uneasiness among this sgri-
cultural people. Gardens are showing the
effect and pastures are shortening and as
prices of trade are down and stock buyers
scarce some of our people are getting pan
icky. As vet We are not realizing the great
advantage OF railroad building in this old
country. In fact We still have some who
are unwilling to admit that we are to have
a railroad al all some Others committed to
their favorite and have no faith in another,
but the conservative portion of the people
believe in and desire both roads and would
see noobstacle placed in the way Of securing
them, and it is now reasonably certain they
will soon realize their fullest hopes.
Politics are now warming up and We
will soon see lively campaign opened.
So far it has mostly been among. the candi'
dates for nomination at the Republican
primary the last Of this month.
On the 2sth inst. we will appoint dele
gates to aur State, Congressional and coun-
ty conventions. We hope to see strong
delegations appointed Of good solid men
who have no axe to grind except for the
success of the party.
No Fusion Wanted.
Our people now seem fully convinced that
Greelyism-fuSion nor any eNpediency dodge
will be OF avail and We believe they will
nominate full county ticket of good, sure,
answering Democrats who will infnse life
into the campaign. Of course it is almost
a torlorn hope at present but We may now
begin TO regain the ground We have hereto
fore lost We do not think the people of
this county have very decided preference for
any particular ticket or candidate, and the
delegation To the State convention Will
likely 90 uninstructed Wilson is the choice
for Congress and Raymond has some warm
friends to head the State ticket
Col Hasler, has been looking at our
farms and his fencing, and we will likely
have other candidates during this com
mcnCcmcnt week
Horse Thieves.
We seem To have now boom in horse
stealing. Two were stolen in the upper
Dunkard section week or two since and
one last week near Laurel Point. Some of
the horses have been recoved hut We have
not vet heard of the capture Of the thief, or
thieves, though parties have been in pursuit
some days.
We now have some sickness and one Of
our worthy citizens, Nathan c. Cox, of
Indian Greek, died Yesterday after a linger-
ing illness of iniIammatory rheumatism.
Some of onr Republican friends are very
enthusiastic over Blaine, but well wait till
Tidcn comes and then we II make it sing.

PrTrsBrRG. June l0.-The stove manu-
facturers of the two cities, with the excep'
ton of A. Bradley & Co., are preparing to
start their foundries with non-union men,
in order to enforce reduction of 20 per
cent in wages. The occasion of the reduc,
ton was the action of Perry & Co., who had
the prison eontractin Sing Sing, New York
and through that advantage compelled Troy
founders 10 cut wages. The Western foun-
ders have had to follow the decrease or as
thev assert, lose their trade. Perry& Co.,
rot contract labor at about so cents day,
have their plant from the State of New
York free of rent and taxes and are enabled
to unload foreign pig from vessels at their
foundry door. Through these advantages
they have long been the rulers of the stove
