The Branch held its breath while this

containing himself very well, again went
over the ground in dispute, He made an
appeal to the members in his own behalf,
claiming that he had done nothing but
what was perfectly proper for him to do.
Mr.. Jaeger and Mr.. Stanley spoke on the
matter, the former claiming that the man

Branch, which statement Mr., Sweeney
denied. Mr., Stanley favored q portion
OF the resolution, but thought 1t too late
to make any apologies. During Mr., Shan,

a Very Quiet and Happy Wedding Inst
Evening.
The announcement Of the marriage o.
Mr.. Thomas @. Burke to Miss Anna D
Little, will doubtless cause quite a surprise
among the large circle Of warm friends
aud admirers that these two popular
young people possess. The wedding took
place at I o'clock last evening, at the resi-.
dence Of the BRIDES father, Mr.. Arthur
Little, on Fifteenth street, the ceremony
being performed by the Rev. 4.
Rush swope, pastor Of st. Matthews
Church. II was a very quiet
affair, no cards being issued and only q
few relatives and friends being witnesses.
Immediately after the sincere and hearty
congratulations Of those present had been
rendered, Mr.. and Mrs. Burke left for the
B. & o. depot where they took the 7;66
train for Chicago and other western points.
They will be gone a week OF ten days and
on their return will at once 20 10 house.

TO the public as the clever u. 4 o. ticket
agent at this point. He has been In the
employ Of the company for number Of
years, gradually working up 70 this re.

are held In high esteem by those who
know them, and the congratulations and
good wishes that await their return home

One View of Jones.

To he Editor Of he IHtslItgsHesr.
Sir:-Jones has come aud gone, and
with him the multitude. The practical
question that confronts US is, what Of the
results? The influence OF his methods =?
Time alone will decide, but great many
sober, thoughtful men and women who
are not Captivated by the jingle Of words,
and satisfied with lwitticisms, give 1t as
their opinion that the Gauge Of Christiani.
ty has not been promoted commenBurately
with the outlay Of means, and parade at.
tendant upon the occasion OF his presence.
Some were Captivated by Jones. not his
theology, for he has none, only "quit your
iaGdnneSI.",
One result already apparent Is a certain
class Of persons have been alienated from
their pastors, and charge upon them that
they compromise or withhold the truth /;
that Jones alone is capable OF preaching
the gospel in its purity. We shall see In
future whether these men who have at
tended Jones ministry will bring forth
fruit meet for repentance, and whether the
"pure gospel" interlarded with stale jokes,
will build up men aud women in the vir.
tues OF the christian character, more
readily and substantially than the gospel
they have heard preached all these years.
His calling upon the people on Sabbath
evening to vote on his return next year
was a surprise to some who had been his
admirers up to that time. He tested his
popularity by rlslng vote, something
that has never occurred upon this camp
ground. In his Introductory remarks he
observed, "he wouldn't give the aCcumu.
lation under his finger nail for the en-.
dorsement Of all the ministers on the
ground" and 30 saying "he sailed In"
land racked around" and hewed and cut,
and said things never hoard here before,
and the people applauded aud "giggled,"
as Sam would cay, and the people said give
us more; we like that; we hunger for the
gospel we have never had II before with
the embellishments.
There arc persons here who opened
their mouths and with q smile took
Brother Jones' pills (he gald the first day
he had some on hand who will not take
them from any one else even with the
sugar coating. Jones is To the Christian
world what the cyclone is to the physical,
and now the question 10 yet unanswered,
whether the destruction Ia greater than
the good, We will wait and see.

OFFICE OF TuE WlREIlNd
NATURAL GAS COMPANY,

NATURAL GAS COMPANY,
WHEELING, W, Va, August "a, 1856. J
TO The Editor OF The IRleligactr
sIR;-I notice communication from
Mr.. Caldwell in your paper Of this morn
ing on the question Of natural gas pres
sure. The personalities Of the cores
pondeuce are matter Of no interest to
this company. l might say, however,
that the gentlemen to whom he replies
have no pecuniary interests in the success
OF this company. However, he does raise
questions Of fact and Of motive to which,
wish to reply.
Mr.. Caldwell says: ''Plainly there Ia
some hidden motive.
at Is said that the supply Of Bellaile
factories Is the cause OF unlimited pressure
being desired for Wheeling. That the one
pipe down the Ohio side Of the river Is IN
sufficient, alter being depleted all the way
down by the mills, &c, to supply Bellairc
fully. That 1t is to escape the great ex'
pense OF laying another pipe down the
other side TO save their own pockets, not
10 benefit the mills OF Wheeling or the
workingmen OF Wheeling, that those
men are willing to subject their fellow
citizens OF Wheeling to the dangers Of un-
limited pressure through the entire length
Of the city,"
The truth Is, as far rs this company Is
concerned, It never seriously contem'
plated laying a second river line until the
question OF the pressure that would BIO al.
lowed on tho lines in Wheeling was raised.
On the Ohio side Of the river this COM
pany has twelve.inch pipe and no limit
as to pressure. On the Wheeling side 1t
has ten.inCh line and (threatened)
limited pressure. We therefore thought
1t would be judiCious' thing to connect
the lines below the Island 80 that We could
feed up tho lower end Of the Wheeling line
from the high pressure pipe on the Ohio
shore.
The transverse area Of the inside Of the
Ohio pipe Is lO4 90 inches; the transverse
area OF the inside Of the Wheeling pipe Is
1920 inches.
Now restrict the pressure on the Wheel
ing aide to, say.25 pounds, and allow an
unlimited pressure on the Ohio line, and
1t requires very little mathematics to show
that the flow Of gas must be from the Ohio
to the West Virginia side, from Bellaire to
Wheeling and not from Wheeling to
Bellaire as Is claimed.
Very Respectfully,
L. II. WILLIAMS, SeC'y.

sIR:-"The written ballot which he
Delegate Robertsonl had In his posses
sion, showed that the vote was cast lol
MesBrs, Robertson, Woods and Gleason
whereas it was recorded for Robertson,
Riley and Gleason"
The above is from the Register OF this
date, and, II correct, l would like to ask
who cause.-the recording to be- done In open
disregard Of tho ballot and how came the
delegate from Clay to say on the floor Of
the convention, that he "Knew before
hand how the Washington delegation In
tended to vote, and that the vote as
recorded was correct, etcP"
The general impression to-day Is that
Hon. Ed. Robertson, who was q bright,
useful and very efficient member Of the
last House Of Delegates, was deliberately
cheated out OF tho nomination. As late as
II o'clock on Sunday evening the "Boss"
from Clay district proclaimed that Gleason
should be left oil the ticket and Robert
son put on, but later on 1t was discovered
that Gleason could be handled, while the
Hon. Ed. proclaimed his soul his own"
Tho work Of the Convention Is now be-
fore us. The material Of the ticket Is rea.
sonably fair, but the means reaorted to by
tho Italian gentlemen from Olayto bring
about the result will never find favor In
this community. Ed. Robertson, in my
opinion, could have gone on the ticket
had no agreed to sell out and abandon
Gleason; but he chose the manlier and
better part, aud his position to-day, de.
leated, is a better one in the eyes Of hon.
orable men than any Of the nasty little
ring Of Camdenites who deprived him Of
the nomination by methods known only
10 interruptions wire.workers.
"Will Gleason stick?" Is q question ask
ed by many, in view OF the fact that his
Comrade Robertson was 80 shameiully
treated by the delegation from Clay.
Truly, the three delegates from Clay are
one. INDEPENDENT.

Everybody admits that Robertson was Nom
mated, but then WhatS
The very peculiar action Of the Demo-
cratic Convention MondRy-or rather OF
the President and seCretsry-Was about
the leading topic OF conversation around
town yesterday. It was generally admit
ted that Mr.. Robertson was nominated by
the votes cast, and Mr.. Riley given Mr.,
Robertson's rightful place on the ticket by
an error OF the Secretary and q peculiar
decision OF the Chair that clerical error
could not be TeCtiisd after the result had
been announced. The Secretary himself,
Mr., Oopp, 80 an INTRLLIdREcRR reporter
was reliably informed, admitted that Mr.,
Robertson was nominated, Many Demo-
Gratis were disposed to believe that the
"error" was an intentional one, and
though Mr.. Robertson and most OF his
friends exonsrated the Chairman and Sec
rotary from blame, many Of those who
wanted him on the ticket refused to. be-
lieve that the mistake was innocently
made.
MIR. Jepson, who presided over the
convention, yesterday asked Mr., Robert
son to sign a paper TO the effect that he
believed Mr., Jepson to have made the de-
clsioR which deprived Mr.. Robertson Of
his place on the ticket without any design
to wrong him, that he considered Mr..
Jepson honestly his friend, who desired
his nomination, aud regretted what he
conceived to be his duty to decide the
correction out OF order. Mr., Robertson
consented to sign 1t with the addition Of
the words; "But still insist that was
nominated, and entitled to place on the
ticket" or words to- that effect, After
considerable hesitation Mr., Jepson as
scented TO the change.
Mr., Gleason, the other nominee Of the
Trades Assembly, was determined to with.
draw from the ticket yesterday, but at
the personal solicitation Of Mr.. Robertson
and others consented to remain on. A
conference OF the Democratic members OF
the Legislative Committee OF the Trades
and Labor Assembly has been called Tor
this evening by an advertisement in an
other part OF this mornings paper. 1t is
not known what course this body will
take, but it Is certain that the most intense
indignation over the action Of the conven-
ton prevails in Democratic labor circles
and among the an..Csmden Democrats
generally.
Mr.. John s. Naylor, the candidate for
Chairman who was defeated by Mr.. Jep'
son, and was supposed to represent the
Camden element, said yesterday that II he
had been presiding the mistake would
have been corrected when discovered, and
Mr., Robertson declared the nominee In.
stead Of Mr.. Riley.
