Sgcciai Tiegrrm to The Register.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, January 90
The other morning Col. John Thompson,
of Putnam. Jim Couch, of Mason, Maj.
Bill Dave Goshorn, and Judge Guthrie,
with Others, quietly lett for Washington,
presumably on an excursion, but it has
leaked out that 'some politics is the rea-
son OF this sudden journey to Washington.
Judge Guthrie wants to be Judge again.
He holds his present Office by virtue Of a
coalition between Republicans and Green
backers.' Capt McWhorter is candidate,
and it is conceded will be the Republican
nomiuee, fusion or no fusion between Re-
publicans and Greenbackers. 1t seems
that Judge Guthrie and his friends recog-
nize this fact.
Jim Couch, if l reCollect Alright, in days
gone by was GreenbaCker, and he want
ed something in those days, but didn't
get it. He is now Democrat. He would
like to be Judge too. Ia fact be was a
Democratic candidate for judge in this dis
trict up TO q recent date. His change Of
heart will only be explained by the devel-
opments of the future. Now, Guthrie has
never weakened, and don't intend to; and
it is in bis behalf the pilgrims have made
their way TO the home of Grover the great.
4 leaky friend says Judge Guthrie will
run independent and wants the Democratic
support. John Thompson, whom my in
formpnt SAYS is back into the fold, is for
Guthrie as well rs his friend Couch, late
aspiraat himself. Bill Dave If Guthrie
is helped now has no doubt promised aid
to the Democrats through the Greenback
and labor contigent. But what aid, is
now well understood.
Ny informant thought that If the Demo-
Gratis could get county office or a couple
Of members OF the Legislature, and the
help OF Bill Dawes Decentralization con-
tingent for the State ticket, they could
very well afford to give them a judge, or
two if necessary.
Some of the Republican brethren are af-
ter Capt. McWhorter's scalp, and they are
into the scheme 70 wheedle the Democrats
into helping them scalp one of their own
household.
The Democrats of Charleston have taken
preliminary steps towards organizing a
Democratic Club. To that end they have
solicited and secured the names of all the
Democrats in the town who have consented
to become members OF the club The dis
trict DemOcIats have taken similar steps
and the same lively interest is being devel-
oped throughout the county. Kanawha
will surprise herself during the coming
campaign.
Two marriages are announced for Feb
ruary among Charlestou's society people.
Miss Nina Miller, youngest daughter OF

known among Wheeling society people,
and DR.. Thum, OF Louisville, will be mar
ried early in the coming month. Miss
Clarkson, one OF Charleston's bellies, and

soeeiul CorrsspOudeace of the Register.
COLUMBUS, o, January 29.-One OF the
men of really decided views, energetic anu
vigorous in Ohio politics, is General John
NJ. Beatty, soldier, banker, and an honest
man, and citizen ofColumbus. His record
in the army and in Congress is more.enVia-
ble than that Of a majority Of his party.
Your correspondent meeting him, inquired
General, do you regard Foraker as a
possible quantity in your National Con-
vention for the Presidential nomination.
81 don't know, possibly he might be-"
81 suppose you know that he has large
personal following, who are infatuated
with him and who think that with solid
delegation from Ohio he could be nomina'
ted"
That is only bare possibility. He Is
popular among large class, especially
Young men just entering the political
arena. Almost anything is possible IN
poIitics. Hence / think Private Dalzell,
the waste basket writer, would stand as
GOOD a chance as Foraker, If he was can
didate.'
1.-The truth about this matter" con-
tinued the General, ''is that the balance OF
the States have had enough of Ohio men.
HAYES was taken up rs an unknown quan-
tity, through a deal made by Morton,
Bristow, Conkliug and Blaine. He was
not a proper man, rs shown by his admin
istration, and never should have been
nominated. The Republican party OF the
country are tired ard disgusted with m
known quantities, and the experiment
will not soon be repeated. Foraker IS at
the Zenith Of bis fame. Ohio is Repub
lican State and it is not necessary to come
here for Presidential candidate. AS
said, the other States are very tired OF tbs
"Ohio man." and they want rest. They
care nothing about the State as locality
But one inducement would lead them to
select candidate from this State, and that
is because of the long experience, the mas
terly qualifications and pre-eminence o.
John Sherman. IfGovernor Foraker lived
in India he would be much greater
quantity than he is. 1t is reasonable tc
believe that the Republicans might 80 to
Indiana for q candidate, because, If selec
ton was made from that State, they would
stand a guUd chance of carrying it. Oar
people want no more unknown quantities
from Ohio. II will not look so bad io'
other States TO bring out that kind oj
Presidential timber"
"You say" said the General, THAT this
is for the REGISTER?"
eyes that's the place where our Gov
ernor had au escapade with Governor Viii
son. The people of that locality manifest
great interest in Governor Foraker and
Ohio politics"
"All can cay is simply this; If the
Democratic papers want to help Foraker
let them turn in and abuse him. 1t would
improve his prospects.'
"All the Democratic papers are for For
aker, because his nomination means politi
cal hariksri"

But sadder yet Is the closing Of q
woman's life that has been worshipful Of
worldliness, all the wealth Of ifetime's
opportunity wasted. What tragedy! A
woman on her dying pillow, thinking OF
what she might have done for God and hu-
manity, and yet having done nothing!
Compare her demise with that of Harriet
Newell going down to peacefully die in tie
Isle of France, reviewing her lifetime sac.
rifices for the redemption of India, or
the last hours of Elizabeth Hervey,
having exchanged her bright New Eng
land home for q life at Bombay amid
stolid heathenism, that she might illumine
it, saying in her last moments: 'lfthis Is
the dark valley, it has not dark spot in

ing her life for the salvation Of Burmah,
giving mp her children that they might
come home to America to be educated, and
saying as she kissed them goodbye, never
to see them again. 20 Jesus, | do this for
Thee!" or the going of ten thousand good
women, who in less resounding spheres
have lived not for themselves, but for God
and the alienation OF human suffering.
That was brilliant scene when, in l4S5,
in the campaign for the capture of Ronds,
Queen Elizabeth Of CASTLE, on horseback,
side by side with King Ferdinand, rode
out to review the troops. As she in bright
srmor rode along the lines Of the Spanish
host, and
WAVED HER JEwELLED HAND
to the warriors, and ever and anon uttered
words Of cheer to the worn veterans who,
far away from their homes, were risking
their lives for the kingdom. II was a
spectacle that illumines history. But
more glorious will be the scene when that
consecrated Christian woman crowned in
heaven shall review the souls that on earth
she clothed and fed and medicined, and
evangelical, and then introduced into the
ranks celestial. As on the white horse OF
victory, side by side with the King, this
queen unto God forever shall ride
past the lines of those In whose salvation
she bore part, the scene will surpass any
thing ever witnessed on Garth ia the lite
of Joan of Arc, or Penelope, or Semiramis,
or Aspasis, or Marianne, or Margaret OF

WASHINGTON, January 29.-The Educa-
tional bill remains as for three weeks past
the unfinised business of the Senate to-
morrow, and Senator Morgan has the floor
for speech upon it.
1t is likely to give place temporarily to-
morrow and Tuesday for the House bill
making appropriations for agricultural ex-
pertinent stations. If the Educational
bill is brought to vote before the end OF
the coming week it will probably he sue
ceeded by the differentiation or the De-
pendent Pension bill. Senators Kenna
and Platt are understood to contemplate
the delivery of speeches on the tariff and
surplus during the week.
The Pension Appropriation bill, which
is privileged matter, may be called up
for action during the week, and the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs will make an
effort to pass the French Exposition bill, if
opportunity offers.

He is q well-known citizen, and his
nearest and dearest friends do not suspect
his insanity. How do we happen to know
about it? Listen; his appetite is gone, he
is low-spirited, he dent sleep well, he has
nigbt-sweats, he is annoyed by hacking
cough. These symptoms are the forerun-
ners of consumption and death, and yet he
neglects them. Is it any wonder that we
call him q mailman? If you are his friend
tell him to get bottle Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery without delay.
1t will cure him if he takes it in time. 1t

when the old ones gre nearly gone, but it
will restore diseased ones to healthy con-
dition. Tell him about it, and warn him
that in his case delay means death.
