Letter From West Virginia

HINTON, W. Va, June 8, l8Sa-A
day or two since, while epdeavoIing to
straighten up and correct the errors
made by a I" Squire of nay neighbor
hood in divis,on Of the estate of an
intestate, / was never more impressed
with the necessity of teaching men not
to intermeddle in matters far above
| their comprehension. A family with
six young men and their wives, with
their mother, had been induced by the
Squire to make deeds to one another
for their shares of the undivided estate
of the deceased father, and in doing 30,
the mother had conveyed away her
dover without being aware Of 1T, and
and only part of the heirs had Joined
| in the deed.
To obtain the signatures of all the
| parties, l was compelled to travel on
foot some twenty seven miles (thiuk
of this ye Delaware Notaries), and
then reason and threaten the men with
a bill in chancery before 1 could con.
vince them of the necessity At the
house of the most remote of the
family, L found an infant OF some four
weeks, whose maternal parent had de.
termiued 10 name "Odious Mcclellan, "
because out of six it was the only girl
she had. A very euphonious name, is
it not.

Democratic 1T Last.

The result of the election last Satur-
day has made Wilmington q Democratic
city for three years to como, and II the
same means are to be employed and
carried out hereafter, without hindrance
or check, there is nothing to hinder 1t
from remaining Democratic for an in
definite period. For many years the
Democrats OF the city, by the aid Of the
Legislature, have been laboring to make
it Democratic. When the Ubiquitous
assessment laws failed to do the work,
the city was gerrymandered into ward.
in such manner that the Democrats
could scarcely fail to have a majority
In the City Council, though they nigh,
fail OF majority in the city. To carry
out the project of making Wilmington
. Democratic city, careful canvass
was made of all that sec ton of the city
below Sixth street, which was known
to be largely Democratic. All tha
part Of the city above Sixth street wa.
divided into five wards, all safely Re
publican. This insured ten Republican
Councilmen, aud as the Republicans
generally elected she President Of tn,
City Council, he made the eleventh
member. Something had to be done t,
enable the Democrats 0 elect IL mem
bers, failing in which their object coul,
not be accomplished.
The section of the city below Sixtl
street was to supply the odd member
The wits of the Democratic leader
were put to work. They found that b.
dividing this section into six ward
they could have the twelve desires
members. 1t was true tina the popu
1ation was some 2, 600 or 8, 900 short G
che population of the Nor 5hern district
but that made no difference, WilminRto
must be madeleine ratio at all haz ards
So the district was divided into ii
wards, and Brown'own brought in t
make part of the Eleventh. A part
san Legislature lent its aid to tn
scheme, and The joo was accom- plished
But even then il was found that the,
could not held the City Council by
fair vote, as occasionally a EepublIca
slipped into Council from the Thir
ward. But the Democrats have bee
learning these las few years. Thos
who eou d read ano gst them had rea
of the Southern plan of how South Ca
olira, Mississippi and Louisiana ha
been made Democratic, and why, the
thought. could they not do the sau
thing with Wilmington. They ha

trioss, though, It 10 true. nobody was
shot for voting. But tho Toundsman
and the repeater were around and did
effective work. Wilmington 10 ut last
made Democratic. How long will an
outraged people submit 70 this reign Of
tyranny and fraud?
MAYOR RHoADs having appointed
his police force, might perhaps have
done botter, At least have shown more
independence and frmness by holding
on to II, and have given IL . fAtr trial.
He then could have watched tAs con-
duct Of his force and could have vseasd
out tho Questionable members Of 1t BY
degrees until IL would become such .
for o IS he approved and the public de-
sired However we do not desire to
enter Into an extended or severe criti-
ism OF his purse His desire to Al
ready improve his force before 1t goes
on duty, 10 creditable to him, - 1t shows
, desire 20 please the people. Mr..
Rhoads has had very disagreeaole
duty to perform in the selection OF his
police. He had some 200 applications
for positions on it and he could only
make AZ appointments out Of that mum
bar. Not being acquainted with the
applicants, he Of course had to depend
upon the recommendations Of Others,
and in many Of these the grossest de-
ceptioa WAS practiced by some who re-
. commended them. Mr.. Rhoads may
we'll be deceived, as he finds out tina
the names OF some of the best member
OF the Democratic party attached y
| the recommendations Of the worst ap
plicants. However, as Mayor-elec
Rhoads has seen proper to recall AM
remodel his force, it is hoped that b
will at least please himself-the politi
clans he cannot please.

The great Congressional apportion-

in the Senate by the cons titu.ional two.
third vote. The bill gives the Repub-
licans seventeen and the Democrats ter

turbed. While one Republi IAN voted
against the bill four Democrats voted
in favor Of it. Thus has the cause o

1MPOLITE.-We read 9 few days
ago in distinguished northern
journal what seems to US to have
something of good sense in it. 1t
was on the subject; and the assertion
was made that it is exceedingly inn
polite for any one to smoke an often.
sive ciga. in promiscuous crowd,
of course the reason is obvious. We
do not know who may be present to
whom any kind of cigar is offensive
Let the boys who smoke cigarettes be
reminded that they are allowing a
habit to chain them fast which is
not only injurious to health and un-
becoming now, but that it may lead
them to become invetorate cigar
smokers, and at some time IN their
lives cause them 70 do the impOlite
thing mentioned above. Boys, don't
smoke. You can be men without
he-olding your approach to the post
Office and other places by sending
from your mouth and nostrils little
smoke clouds like unto miniature To-
com0tives. which are but machines
run by mems hands. He men for
yourselves. and that tao without
smoking cigars or cigarettes.

RALEIGH FAIR.-The State Fair
was remarkable as a burlesque upon
fairs. We we're 90 the grounds
only Thursday. On that day the
racing was far below the average at
any cross roads Saturday evening
rpces and the crowd was small com.
paratively. The poultry Depart
ment and Floral Hall were all that
was worth looking at becaused they
only we're upto a standard. The
sorry fair is attributed to the reac
ton of the exposition Of last year,
Still we were reminded that it was a
fair, because we heard continually
the immortal "squedunk'' and saw the
little "bulunes" and the walking
stick" man selling rings to be pitch
ed at the sticks. TWAS a fair. We
had ''big time'' but only because we
knew friends out there, not that we
had any wonders to see. So far Raj
eigh has brilliant prospects of this
year having the sorriest fair in the
