The Republican conventions in this State
get up some of the most remarkable docu-
ments that the pen of mortal man can
frame In an address just issued to the vo-
tiers everything bad and unholy is charged
up to the Democrats, while all that is vir-
tuous and noble and good is ascribed to the
Republicans. The unkindest cut of all,
however, is the effort to hold the Demo-
cratic party in this State responsible for the
acts of Mr.. James NJ. Mason as the agent
for the Wall street syndicate who wants
West Virginia to shoulder lot of bogus
certificates. -AepherasiO1on Reqister.

The Battle Of Gettysburg.

This world famous panorama will be on
exhibition on the Hagerstown Fair ground
during the fair, beginning October 10 and
lasting four days. The work is pronounced
so life-like as to deceive persons into be-
lieving that many of the scenes enacted are
living beings and with genuine implements
of war, and that the real battle is in pro-
gress. Visitors to the Hagerstown Fair
will have an opportunity of seeing a work
that has not heretofore been on exhibition
outside of the large cities.

It will be seen by the following para
graph clipped from the Spirit Of Jefferson
that Mr.. Alex. Parks, whom the Berkeley
and Morgan delegations desired to nomi-
nate for State Senator, when a disputation
arose as to the vote to which Jefferson was
entitled, fully demonstrated his well-known
character for fairness:
"Mr. Parks came into the convention at
this time, and being asked if he did not
know Jefferson county was entitled to 2219,
answered thusly: That he did not, and be
would not accept nomination at the hands
of this convention if any unfair advantage
was taken; he wanted each county to have
its representation"

The Democratic Senatorial Convention
met at Berkeley Springs last Thursday, but
adjourned. without making a nomination,
to meet in Martinsburg to-day The adj
iournment was effected by reason Of disa-
greement as to the representation in the
Convention to which Jefferson county was
entitled. It is proper for US to say that the
disagreement was innocently OccasiOned by
the editor of this paper. Having been
written 10 to kindly refer to the file OF
YOUR paper and write me what the vote OF
YOUR county was for the following Gov
ernor and State Senator, Oct. ii, 1854, and
President and Congressman, Nov. 4, 1854,
we turned to our files and Immediately
made a note of the totals for those offices.
Unfortunately, as was discovered too late
for us 10 remedy it, there was an error IN
the footing up of the vote for congressman,
and the vote certified by us as published
was less by l62 votes than Congressman
Wilson received-making the delegation
2l instead of % votes. IL never occurred
TO us that the figures were wrong-we never
look for inaccuracies in The FREE Press.
Whilst we felt little sore that our own
countymen should have in the excitement
incident TO the occasion accused US of in
territorial misstatement, we do not the less
admire our Berkeley friends for accepting
our statement as true against the united
voice of a united delegation. We are inn
uitely proud of YOU, men of Berkeley Our
statement of the printed record was correct
and given in the most sincere confidence
that the publication was correct. For once
figures lied, and we regret the inconven-
fence and whatever other untoward conse-
queuces may ensue more than any member
of the Convention can possibly do. How
ever we hope our intentions to courteously
respond TO a kind request for information
may not in the end be a ,rmful to any indi-
vidual or interest. This unintentional in
accuracy may serve a good purpose in the
future. Ii will teach men delegated to do
any kind of work to be fore-armed, to go
with proper credentials aud certified copies
of such records as are needed. Delegates
shouldn't 90 Off to conventions halfcocked

Tucson is particularly favored ID this respect, by beIng situated n the center Of country rich in the aggregation Of natural materials for the manutCctuture of many hundreds of different articles of commerce that should make almost as many factories hum day and night. The Marrow Gauge railroad to the north will bring to US the coal for fuel, and the great beds of iron ore, ala baster, slate, porcelain clay, fire clay, cement, marble, building stone End many other products of nature will bs worked to supply the raw materials for the,factories.

WE have the best reasons for bsliev- jug that the alleged charges against |.
 5. Marshal ". k. Meade are trumped up for the purpose of defeating his confirmation by the Senate, and that they grew out Of personal and net po- lItical grievances. We have it pretty straight that the charges were formu- lated by Q disappointed sspirant for that position and that when he was asked to make affidavit to their correct ess he refused to do so, and claimed that he did not want his named mixed up in the business. Now this Is a demo cratic nght in which we have no politi- cal reasons for putting our republican fingers ID, but as citizens of the Terri tory of ArIzona every person has a direct interest in its public officials, aud are ready 10 resent any malicious attempt to wrong them. We have the utmost faith in the ability of Nr. Meade to cover his enemies with confusion in rhs base attempt to ruin his character, and until he utterly fails to vindicaie his good name We shall not believe the charges to be true.

A SHORT time ago the CITIZEN gave SD account of the Papsgo Indians having dispossessed Messrs. Davis and Jones of their stock ranch near the Bsboqui- vari peak. The matter is still in Rn un- settled state and the feeling among the stOckmen ID that neighborhood i5 grow ing intensely bitter toward Agent Wheeler, and it is possible that many of them will send armed vaqueros to the scene to place the rIghtful owners in possession of their premises and to in- form the Indians that any further at- tempt to despol these gentlemen ot their premises will be met with serious resentment. They will not use violence, but the moral suRsion exerted by R score or two Of armed men Is not alto- gether lost on even Papsgo Indian.
 NIT. Davis says that the Indians have never occupied the premises he claims. There are several dilspidated wickiGps about three miles from his house, where few Indians have at times lived while hunting. There Is no spring of water at all on the premises, and the owners were compelled toasink well seventy feet deep to obtain water. After heavy rains some little water would run out from a canon above the ranch for a few days, but there IS no knowledge of a spring of water in existence near their claim. The authority under which the Indian claimed the property, reads as follows:
