attempted to show that West Virginia has
had q far better administered government

during the last four years than almost any
State in tho Union, and what made it still
better it cost US scarcely nothing t?) In
finishing one OF his labored sentences he
said, ;"the entire expenses OF the State
Government amounted TO only fifty cents
per taxpayer. This was such good news
that no one thought Of cheering. A cor.

magnitude OF our internal commerce. II
is shown TINT the valuo OF the products Of

seven times the total value OF our foreign

the foreign commerce Of Great Britain and
Ireland aud five times the total value Of
the foreign commerce Of France, including

The total value Of the products Of the

PARrRIsnuRG, October l0.-Last night
was memorable one among the Repub

announced that General Logan would pos,
sibly not reach hero until lo o'clock, at
$3.50 the various. companies were In uni.
form and on the streets, and ut o'clock
they marched TO the depot to meet the
delegation from Marietta, who although
they knew Of tho latGness OF General
Logan's train, persisted in coming and
giving deeper hue TO the already (by oft
repeated coats) lurid appearance of the
town. So promptly ut $3.50 the train ar
rived bearing nine hundred Of Ohio's citi.
zcns. This was more by about $50 than
was expected aud un impromptu parade
was inluguratGd, and at tho front end of
the parade the Democratic countenancc
would relapse into smile, thinking 1t but
the local companies, but us they continued
to come until us far rs the eye could reach
in either direction, the Aforesaid smile
would give place 10 look OF woe, which
seemed to say we arc doomed and wo
know it. s-. l...I. .l,..I =
After passing through some OF the prin-

Promptly at 80 A. N. the train pulled
into the station ind into the midst Of the

toDer night to welcome the future Vice
President and testify their loyalty to him
and his cause. General Logan was intro
duced by Hon. W.L. Cole, who said that
they the reception partly had accom-
pllshed more than the enemy had ever
done, viz: that they had gone after The
General and hroughth him in. Gen. Logan
then stepped TO the platform OF the cur
and made brief talk, thanking the citi-
zens ior waiting, but insisting that il was
too late to make a speech and too carly to
commence one. Then while the train re-
manned the time was occupied in shaking
the Generals hand.
