Those West Virginians who have al
lowed themselves to be persuaded that
there is nothing in James W. Msson's
scheme to saddle on this State debt OF
fifteen millions, will be undeceived by
what appears in another column. There
is at least life in the scheme and there are
Wall street men who think enough Of it
to put their money in it.
By reason Of "the movement now being
conducted for settlement OF that part Of
the Virginia debt represented by these GER
tiicates, there is active dealingin them in
Wall street. At the New York Stock Ex-
change, on Monday last, l6i9o0 OF the So
called "West Virginia certificates" were
solda l43a141 cents on the dollar, having
advanced under the manipulation Of the
syndicate from about Ave cent?.
What "the movement now being con.
dnctgd" lie, West Vitginiansw well under
stand. The West Virginia Tax Commits
sion was part Of 1t, and the snake drags its
huge proportions through the length OF
the voluminous reports OF that Commis-
sion. The publication Of the West Tirginia
Democrat, editedby James NJ. Mason, is an
otherand an essential partof thejob. The
bringing Of libel suits against the inde-
pendent press Of the Stale is an important
feature, designed to silence adverse criti-
ci,m. The appointment Of agents in every
county in the State to work up public
opinion is relied on as one Of tho most
effective OF the syndicate's methods. Earn
est support Of Wilson for Governor was in
the same line. Presently we shall see the
syndicate's candidates popping up for the
legislature, and unless the people take
warning in time some Of those candidates
will get into the Legislature.
There is money in the job; money is
being used and more will be used to carry
it through. The IHTELLIaEScER may be
honored with a few more libel suits for re-
sistng this effort 10 place the State Of West
Virginia at the mercy Of Wall street, but
a few iavors OF that kind more or less
make little difference when the cause is
righteous,

General Grant did not have long to

The President sent for him and said that
the radical measures OF Congress were
revolutionary and would destroy the
country, the war was over and the Repub-
lie wanted peace, and that was possible
only by a union Of all sections. The pro-
visinial governments provided for the
seeded States were temporary ex-
pedients without constitutional authority
and the States had all the rights and
should possess all the powers they had be-
fore the war. He had perfected q tcheme
to accomplish this, and with General
Grants assistance its success was assured.
He would by proclamation direct the rebel
States to send to Washington their full
quota ot Senator's aud Representatives,

fearful visitation on these stricken pco-

unhappy people will do. Ruined by the

fully to n modicum of comfort. now to be
swept by the rushing whirlwind. The
ways Of Providence are indeed mystic
riOus.
In the meantime why are these people
less entitled to the Succor and sympathy
of the State thar those whose
houses have been swept away in
Charleston &? Why should not the
people Of South Carolina who have
escaped the sore advcrsitics that seem
to have followed their sorcly stricken
coast brethren go to their relief? II
seems that a relief fund might be raised
in the State to succor the most
unfortunate on the coast who really
need help.
What say our country exchanges
about this matter =? we feel satisfied
that if they, with one accord, undertake
this work, it can be achieved to the
great relief Of the sufferers and to the
eternal honor Of the State at large. the
Register is ready to cooperate with the
rest of the up country press in pushing
toward this truly needed bcncfccnce.
Let each journal raise its own fund, and
then all can come together and select
some responsible party on the coast to
distribute the fund where most needed,
We should not stand by and see our
W people. perish without lifting a hand
in their behalf. 1t may not, and we
hope this help will not, be needed in
many cases, but unqucstionable there
must be some good people who will not
know where to turn for succor.
We believe that the up country
will not be unwilling to afford this succor
il they feel assured that their contri-
buttons will go to good account. In
undertaking this work the country press
will ut once give this ASSURANCE and
thus be instrumental in achieving at
tho shortest notice timely relief. w
feel that this appeal to our brethren
will not be in vain.

THE t OF DAVIS.

A friend Of jeff Davis, who is Mt
Brterfield with him., took the opportuni-
ty of denying a recent story of the cap
ture of the ex.Confederate chief, and
gave the following version Of the event.
"Mr. and Mrs. Davis, were. of Course,
in retreat, and were surrounded by the
disorder usual upon such occasions.
Mr.. Davis was subject to violent attacks
OF neuralgia, and it taxed the wifely de-
yotion Of Mrs. Davis to find him relief
from his pains and to prevent their re-
currcnce. When the party had camped
in Irwin County under three large trees,
which were shattered by lighting a
couple Of years ago, the voices Of men
and the noise of tramping horses were
heard outside. Mr.. Davis rushed out,
intent upon protecting those under his
charge, when he found himself in the
hands of the LIST Winconsin and the I'd
Michigan cavalry. AS he stepped out
Of the tent, Mrs. Davis, mindful o: his
alling and the damp atmosphere of the
place, threw her mantle over his head
and shoulders. A moment later the in
truders were ut the entrance to the tent,
when they were held at bay by Mrs.
Davis, who was armed and forbade their
entry. Superior officers coming up the
capture was completed, and the party
set out for Macon, Mr.. Davis still cs-
corting his wife and bearing himself us
the same brave man who had distin-
guished himself upon the field of Bucna
Vista. The idea of his throwing up his
hand and begging for his life is absurd
and preposterouS."

well, their wounds being slight in
most cases. There can be no doubt
but that these outrages were the work
of the dynamite Irishmen, in pursuance
of their insane notion of soaring En-
gland into liberating Ireland. There
Is nothing to show where these Irish
men operate from, but the folly of

British, who have these scouRdrels
constantly busy under the eyes and

affairs do to the cause Of Ireland ought
not to need further pointing out.
There is not the least excuse for them,
VIXEN the action of Mr.. GladstOne's

ment are continually taking that course
in advancing reforms and bestowing
rights, which will eventually result in
Ireland's autonomy.

Erroneous Reports about the Cal
edOnian.

We understand that the story has
been quite industriously circulated
and doubtless believed 10y some
that the business of The CaledOnian
office has greatly fallen off of late: that
the subscriptions list is not half what it
was a year ago, and some other SINH
lar reports. This paper has never
been given to Dragging of its circula-
ton or its achievements. 1t probably
has not ''bIOwn it's own horn" as much
as would have been for it's pecuniary
advantage. That is not what we are
here for. We believe II newspaper has
Il higher mission. But as matter OF
fact, and to assure some of our friends
that we are in no Immediate danger OF
becoming an inmate of the poor house,
we will say that some experts who in
Vestigated The CALIFORNIAN and its
business the past week, discovered
that more papers We're printed and
sent to bona tide subscribers in Jan
nary 1888 than in January "a, and
that the office did more work in 1884
and got more pay for it than in any
previous year. Also that the per cent
OF gain was larger in 81 than for the
previous three years. Considering the
general stagnati0n of business the past
year, we think our friends ought to be
satisfied with such Showing-we are.
