Senator Camden cannot be indif-
ferent to the compliment paid him
by unanimous election as a dele
gate at large from this State to the
st. Louis convention. In present
ing his name to the convention
Gov. jackson made an able and
brilliant speech. which was loudly
and repeatedly applauded. IF the
Democracy elsewhere present them
selves on election day in as good
shape as they will in the fourth dis
trict we shall have no feeling but
sympathy for the Republicans in
their humiliation and defeat.-Par-

ingalls,.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-A Kansas
City special to the Herald says, the
nation is on the tip-toe of expeeta-
ton for the coming speech by Mr..
Voorhees, on May IL. That it will
be a scorcher goes without saying,
but that it will show up Ingalls, cop
perhead record is almost beyond
belief, but, strange to say, absolutely
true. John Sullivan, secretary of
the Democratic club, of Kansas
City, has returned from Topeka and
other Kansas towns, having gather
ed mass of facts that is simply
overwhelming in their nature. One
of the queerest discoveries made
was that the war time files of In
gals paper the Atchison Champion,
have recently disappeared from the
historical society rooms at Topeka.
In 1862 it will be remembered
that ingalls, was on the opposition
Republican ticket for Lieutenant
Governor. He was defeated in the
election, as his ticket stood fairly
and squarely opposed to the Presi-
dents emancipation proclamation.
The Republican Central Committee
issued an address to the loyal voters
of Kansas, which closed as follows:
off there is man in the State who
thinks more of JEFF Davis than he
does of Lincoln, his vote is certain
for this ticket" The result of the
election was disastrous to Ingalls,.
He carried but three counties and
out of 10000 soldier votes he got a
bare 200. On the evening before
the election of 1864 the Leaven-
worth Conservative said: "There is
not traitor in Kansas but what
will vote for Thatcher and ingalls,
tomorrow"

DIR. Hoy, of Point Pleasant passed
through here on Wednesday eve
ming on his way to Washington.
He had been suspended from office
by telegraph by the commissioner
of Pensions and he was on his way
to headquarters on a mission of in
quiry. He had his famous circular
with him; and it was a very harm
less thing after all. The republican
papers with their usual dishonesty
did not publish it entire but merely
picked out part of sentence here
and there, and from these mutila-
tions built up a great argument
about his pernicious activity.
When the authorities see his entire
circular he will be promptly rein
stated, we have no doubt. DIR. Hoy
says it was submitted to high author
ity before it was issued, and that it
met with no objection.-Pdrk-
ers6ury Sentinel.
The impression has gone out
that DR.. Hoy has been removed
from office. Such is not the case;
he is only suspended, awaiting the
investigation of his case by Com
missioner of Pensions, Gen. Black:

Four Glasses OF Men for Whom
There is q Future I'm West
Virginia.
Edmond Kirke in Scribnerss Magazine
1t may be well to indicate who
should go to West Virginia.
First Men with families. whose
means are too limited to buy and
stock a farm in an old section. where
lands are. high and buildings are
expensive With a few hundred
dollars such persons can buy 100 or
200 acres in West Virginia, build a
permanent home, and, .if8they are
industrious, energetic, and preserv-
ering, can soon surround themselves
with comforts which they could new
er hope to enjoy in their old loca-
lions. We have given an instance
of man who began there with
limited means, and in a short time
acquired moderate competence;
and we might adduce hundreds of
similar cases.
Second. Young men without
families, and with no capital except
health, strong arms, and anaverage
amount of common sense. Such
persons can buy on credit few
acres of timber land, and in few
years, with only their axes, can
clear and pay for a comfortable home
for themselves and their future fami-
lies.
Third. Business men of4noderate
means, who will engage in the get
ting out of timber, the saving Of
lumber, for the manufacture of furil-
iture, agricultural implensnts, and
wooden ware. The material for
such manufactures grows in West
Virginia in front of every doorway,
and the West and Southwest offer
unlimited markets for all such pro-
auctions.
Fourth. Capitalists who will buy,
and divide into small farms and
town lots, the vast tracts eff land
that now lie there in their primitive
condition. Such men should settle
colonies upon their purchases, and
thus secure to newcomers, at the
outset, schools, churches, and the
other advantages of old commune
ties. Thus they would, while max
ing fortunes for themselves, become
genuine public benefactors. We
know of no way in which capital
can be invested at the present time
with prospect for slrer or more
profitable returns.

There will be no industrial peace

established upon a basis fair to all
(Applause.) We will keep the
country rocking from ocean to ocean
until we secure Justice and fair deal
ing among all the citizens. You
may strike down that tribune of the
people at the other end of the
avenue, who putting aside all ideas
of prudence, spoke out that ring
ing summons that rallied the peo-
pie as nothing else ever did. You
may strike down the leaders of this
fight as you struck them down in
the last Congress and the previous
Congress.
Those who hold the standard may
fall, but other hands will take it up
and move forward. The spirit of
our intelligence is behind us. The
spirit of liberty is behind us. AS

Everything points to a complete
and overwhelming victory for the
Democracy in Mason county this
fall. Nothing can prevent it but a
quarrel in our party, and there is
no likelihood of that. Democrats
will not repeat their actions of four
years ago. This year we are uni
ted and determined to win.

1t seems just as much impossible
for the Republicans to distinguish
between the reduction of the tariff
as proposed by the bill now before
Congress and absolute free trade, as
it is impossible for them to distin-
guish between protection and a bur-
densome war tariff. The war tariff
as it now exists is not necessary to
protection, and the reduction pro-
posed is not free trade. Why can
not the Republican press be honest
about this thing WaYne News.

Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, who
has proved himself to be the most
blatant blatherskite in Congress,
made another speech last week, this
time attacking Senator Voorhees,.
He raked mp a trashy lot of old
scandals that had been stamped as
campaign falsehoods more than
twenty yearsago. Sopersistentwas
he in using them in the face of Wig
orous protests that Senator Yoor-
hees arose finally and denounced
him as liar and dirty dog. Sem
ator Voorhees, in these epithets just
about sized Ingalls, up, for he is a
chronic nuisance.

The speeches on the tariff, though
they will fill volumes, will not con
vert single member of the House
Every man in Congress has long
since taken his stand upon the
question, and if the roll of the House
were called to morrow on the bill
the result would be the same as it
will be month or three months
hence. Both parties are maneuver-
ing for time. Neither of them want
the record made up before the
National conventions are over, and
the wearying, dry and uninterest-
ing discussion goes on from day to
day almost to empty galleries and
to frequently unattentive House.
There are nearly hundred more
members down on the Speakers list
who are yet to address the House, and
as the average number of speeches
is not more than three per day it
would take full mouth of working
days to exhaust the eloquence.
Neither Mr.. Randall nor Mr.. Carlisle
have as yet indicated when they
will address the House on the sub
ject, but when the dates are announc-
ed there will be crush in the gal
leries and on the floor of the House.

We want to remind our very
touehly friend of the Parkersburg
Sentinel, that we never for a mo
ment thought that he would con-
strue our article to mean that he
would bolt a Democratic nomina-
ton We believe he is too good
and loyal Democrat to do thing
of that kind, therefore he puts a
false construction upon our remarks
criticising him.
We here reiterate that from the
tone of his paper, we are led to be-
Iieve that he is opposed to the re-
nomination of Mr.. Hogg, and is pan
dering to every element to defeat
him at the coming convention.
While he is afraid to come
out openly and oppose Mr.. Hogg,
for fear he might be the nominee
for a second term, he loses no OPP
portunity to publish any and ever
thing that is intended to weaken
his candidacy. He is sort of blow
ing "hot and cold" We want to
whisper in the ear of our friend, that
Mr.. Hogg will be re-nominated, and
that this year the nomination will
not go to Wood or to CabeIl. What
has Mr.. Hogg done that he should
not be entitled to a second term?
He has been a good worker; has
watched carefully the interests of
his constituents; has been fair in
his appointments, and all parts of
the District has been dealt with
fairly by him in this particular; and
to do otherwise than to re-nominate
him would be unsatisfactory to the
Democracy, as well as a violation of
Democratic presidents.
