KEARNEYSVILLE.

The Blaine & Logan Club at this
place is growing rapidly; twelve new
members were added at their last
meeting, Sept. 10th, p. n.y. max
ing total membership of AZ. Large
number have promised to join us and
will have as already stated in this
correspondence, membership of $50.
The club was addressed on the above
evening by Mr.. Karicofe, formerly a
citizen of Rockingham Co., Va, but
now resident of our county. Mr.. X.
is the gentleman who purchased the
farm from Daniel L. Jones, near Lee
town, and his address showed him to
be an able and instructive orator.
Your correspondent has rarely ever
listened to a speaker who made such
profound impression as did Mr.. X.
on that occasion. He handled the old
Virginia question to perfection, ex-
planned fully the positions of the Re-
adjusters and Funders and dealt Free
Trade some heavy blows. His keen
AMI cutting burlesque of the Charles
town barbecue with their "roast-
cow brought down the house. He
also made sally on VIM. l.. Wilson's
record. He heard VIM. speak not
long since, and says that Mr.. Wilson
don't like it because there are in the
U. S. Treasury 800, 100000 of surplus
"get in" there will be no surplus.
Mr.. K. agrees with. Mr.. Wilson if we
take as standard the two States, Va.
and West Va, where every one knows
that there is no surplus in the treas
uries. Mr.. Wilson, says Mr.. K, did
not state this fact, (viz.) that Re-
publican offered bill in Congress to
place to the credit of the school fund,
500, 100000 to educate the masses and
the Democrats voted it down. am
sorry / cannot quote more of Mr..
Karicofe's speech, but space will not
permit. The club expect to hear him
again in the future.
