Col. Hooker aud g. A. Brown, with
a bountlful collation., wound up our

renowned than his own hang upon his

The guests went up the broad steps and
were ushered into the handsome parlors
Mrs. Roman received them; but the
great author was not to be seen The
truth was Thanksgiving was an anniver
sary of which he never spoke to soul;
and although he intended to be as cheer
full and entertaining as possible to his
friends, he had been overtaken by melan
choly "reminiscences 1t had all come from
reading little old newspaper, too
Lighting cigar he walked out and
strolled toward the hills.
If his stylish wife and admiring guests
had been able to photograph his mind just
then they would have been surprised He
was thinking of Thanksgiving twenty
years ago He had been very poor them
but his early love, his first wife, was with
him He was thinking as he strolled
back and forth on the lawn this morning
that that Thanksgiving was the happier
The little poem he had just read jingled
through his mind. 1t seemed to have
been written especially for him:
We were paupers, she and /,
And the bread was hard to win;
But our garrett near the sky,
Let Gods purest sunlight in.
She was meanly dressed you zee,
In her faded cotton gown,
But her smile was heaven to me,
And never saw her frown.
We were young, and life was sweet,
And we loved each other more
When there scarce was food to eat
And the wolf was at the door
There was always hope, you know;
We could dream that skies were blue
But my darling had to go
Just before the dream came true.
The verses drifted through Mr.. Ro
mains mind like far off bells, making
sweet, sad music. He was back in 1.-THE
seemed sweeter to his fancy than all his
were poor again, if poverty could bring
back his early love and his youth. With
this thought in his mind he signing
turned toward home.
In a shabby little house on lonesome
hill was a gray haired, dim eyed man.
who looked out of window and saw Mr.
Roman strolling idly by He, too, sighed.
II don't understand the rulings of this
world, he said There is Roman, he
has everything he wants. Money and
fame have come at his call. Twenty
years ago ! was rich and he was poor
Now, am growing old in poverty, which
have not brought upon myself by dissi.
patton or recklessness. If ! could only
go back twenty years to another Thanks
giving" and be sighed again.
Mr.. Roman went back home to his dis
tinguished guests The man who envied
him turned to his table Of pork and beans
Both envied the past.
Mr. Roman was still dreamily hum
ming some lines from the newspaper
poem as he went up the steps of his
handsome house. They were these
And we loved each other more
When there scarce was food to eat
And the wolf was at the door.

THEY WANT A BOSS.

Who will be the boss, the idol-tte
golden calf-the di.penser OF patronage in
West Virginia? Particularly vino is going

spirit that oace scared TO q seat in Con
grsSs will have to content itself with q
prosy law practice.
All this is a thorn in tae fish Of the
brethren. The pans were all laid. Mr..
ATKINsoN's wel,-SnOSu energy was to be
brought into play. The fifth day Of
March would see Mr.. ATEINsoN's cohorts
advancing in solid phalanI, against the
post,flics, custom house and all else
in sight. Bat the best laid plans of mice
and men garg aft aGles," and Mr. ATEIN'
SON won't figure as i bouncer to any great

THE MARTINS SCHOOL HOUSE
VOTE.

There is no reason 70 believe that the
election judges of Upper Green district, in
wetzel county, are not scrupulcusly hon
est in every assertion that has been pub
lished over their names. In view Of the
use that has been made OF these statements
il is well to examine them carefully.
These election commissioners say, that, 10
the best of their knoRlsdge, only one
scratched ticket was voted for Congress
man st Martins school house. A re-
count shows that fourteen ATKINSON
tickets were scratched, A great cry Of
fraud is raised, and the opinion of these
gentlemen il sdducsd as conclusive evil
deuce that the ballots have been tampsr-
ed with.
What does their opinion prove? Nothing
more or less thsn these election commits
sioners think that they counted the votes
correctly, and made proper return. No
one has accused Messrs. STREIGHT, ALLEY
and WOODS OF Intentional wrong doing,
but their denial does not prove that they
were not mistaken. 1t shows only that
they believed in the truth Of the report
which they certified to the County Com.
missioners.
The REGISTER has frequently pointed
O1rsthst there was probability Of error in
the Mains school house vote. 1t is
Republican precinct Prominent Rspub-
Gcans had sSpwed an intention to scratch
Mr.. ArKINs&. In counting the vote,
the elsc.ion 6csrs Iabored under excep-
tiOnal hardskps, due to physical weakness
and poor Recommendations. Nothing is
more rsps6nable than to suppose, that in
grs&snumbsr of scratched tickets, few
scratches would be overlooked; and the
error wopld then occur.
The very fact that recount OF votes is
ever demanded is proof that election Off
GERS are net infallible. In fact mistakes
equally as bad as the one in the Martins
school house vote were discovered on
the recount in Harrison, HsnCo2k aad
Marshall counties. In Ohio county an
error of eight in Mr.. ATKINsoN's favor
was brought to light, and no hue and cry
was raised by Mr.. PENDLErON's friends.
1t is not to the discredit Of the gentle
men who conducted the cunt at Martins
school house, that a correction is made in
their returns. They have a perfect right
to make any statements which show that
they were conscientious in their work.
But these statements should be weighed al
their proper value. We repeat that their
simple denial does 70. prove that they
were not mistaken.

A CAMPAIGN OF CORRUPTION,

n CAhGAlON OF OOAhI L 4lON'
The country has just enlarged from an
electoral campaign, which was unequal
led in bod and shameless corruption. A
cartfll study CT the rssuit Is not necessary
to show which OF the two gent parties
conducted the campaign of fraud aud
profted the most by it. 1t is apparent on
the fpcs. Tie protected mOnopOlists, the
trusts, the coal and oil and cattle barons,
and q thousand other forms Of corporate
wealth, built mp and fos!erei by the policy
of the Republican party poured forth al
enormous fund, which was used with q
lavish hand by their party friends. The
New York World has conducted an iuyes-
gltion toto the methods by which this
money wss distributed, and its effect at
the polls. Its revelations are more
startling than even the Democratic mana
gers, wko had to battle against it suspect
ed.
In Indiana the pivotal State, the World
says it finds that not !eSs than 81, 900, coo
was used by the Republican committee.
The legitimate expenses of the contest
could be provided for by One-tenth Of this
sum. The World anwsers the question
what became of the rest, snd its answer
includes ringing srraignment Of the bold
conspirators who purchased the ballots Of
that great State. The testimony of such
men as Judge WALTER Q. GRESHAM, shows
taat the most respectable" membersO of the
party loaned themselves TO the disgraceful
work Men who purchased votes one day
and went t. church the next, the di>tin-
guished iurist says were the most effective
workers and should be punished first The
plan designed to spend the bulk CT the
money 10 Democratic districts, ami in one
solid tier Of counties which give a normal
Democratic msioIity OF 5000, it was car
Iisd out 50 effectively, that HARRISON
carried them by 1850. PropOrtionate
changes were made in other strong couu-
ties, where the Democratic majority was
whitfield down.
The usual price for q vote was $50, and
the method Of handling the folters was
the same Is outlined in the famous DUD-
LEY letter. These men were divided in
blocks of fve'' and q capable man put in
charge of them with 800 in bis pocket.
lie was expected to see that they voted the
Republican ticket straight, and the persua-
siye influence of the $50 bill was generally
sufficient to bring about this result. The
purchased tickets were folded lengthwiss
and then doubled as q Distinguishing
feature, and in ore county two hundred
and seventy-fiys Of these peculiarly folded
ballots Se;e found.
The above ale few of the details OF
tie discoveries. They are sufficient to
show tie extent and character ofthe Re-
publican assaultupon the State of indiana

pie. Ths Democratic party went down and
it is not stIangs-but its fair fame is not
stained by corruption of the ballot. The

Three Bears Killed by a Boy.

Three bcy5 lett Tobyhsnna the other af-
ternOon to cut wood in the forest. While
there, q cub bear poked its nose out of a
hollow of large trte that had been blown
down during recent BLIZZARD. One of the
boys struck the bsar's nose with the sharp
point of an az. The animal set up a
loud howl aud crawled out hurriedly, az if
to stack hi' assailant. Tue brave little
boy stood his g'ouud msnfully, and with
the blunt end of thu ak dealt the bear a
powerful blow on the forehead, Instantly
killing it. Two other bears, one the
mother of the cub, crawled ont of the
same trunk and were quickly dispatched
by the same boy. This boys then returned
to Tobyhsnns, related thsir exploit, and
had the dead bears brought to town on a
wagon.
