On this occasion there were several
old frosty-faced veterans Of pre-adamic

Mexieans and Indians. and hunting buff

the Others seemed panied. ard immedi-
ately one of them would get off much
tougher yarn.
One of them was white bearded old

He was stage driver by profession.
There was another old fellow with brin-

ing along the lines of the two railroads had
travelled on free passes West Virgin'a Dem

The above is an extract taken from an
article in the above named paper OF last
week. and refers 70 a convention held IN
Charleston more than a year ago, to choose
delccates 20 the National Convention. Mr..
Mason states that: at was asserted with
out contradiction &c" He certainly must
recollect that the assertion was made by
himself and he can scarcely have forgotten
the severe scari6cation that he received on
that occasion from Mr. w :. Henshaw, OF
this county. who told him plainly and un-
equiy0cally, that he uttered a talsehood,
which statement was uncontradicted by Mr..
Mason. No one who was present at that
convention can fail to remember the circum-
stance. and the unenyiable light in which
Mr.. Mason was placed There is no ac-
counting for tastes, but one would have sup
posed that person of ordinary senslbilitles
would have preferred TO allow that Charles
ton incident to remain in oblivion. We
feel constrained TO allude to this matter Al
this time, because, having been delegate
TO that convention, we like Mr.. Henshaw,
utterly refute the charge of having travelled
TO that or any other convention on a tree

kissing Match.

Riddleberger extended his hand, which
was cordially gra'ped by Malone, and then
ensued one of the most extraordinary and
novel scenes on record. Yels and cheers
of delight greeted the apparent reconcilia-
ton. The theatre once more became q bed
lam. Malone embraced Riddleberger, and
Riddleberger throwing his arms around the
emaciated form of Malone Rugged and hug
ged from the front TO the rear of the stage,
Waiting through the mass Of people like a
couple of lucky schoolboys who had just
made up. When they reached the back
part of the stage, still closely locked in each
others embrace, Malone, in his enthusiasm
at the result of this clever man@uyre, kissed
Riddlebereer, and that amiable repudiator
returned the labial compliment. In the
midst of this scene, while the two United
States Senator were embracing, Attorney
General Blair rushed toward them, and, ia
king both ofthem in his arms, Rugged again
and again, swaying them to and fro in a
very delrium of delight.
