Owing to the inclination of many
people to be humbugged In the
purchase of articles of necessity
in the household, we feel IL our
duty to sound a note of warning
TO those who seek remedies for
the relief Of the aches and pains
incident to this season of the year.
The great and growing popularity
of BENsoN's PLASTER has tempted
INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers to
offer many worthless substitutions
and limitations Of that valuable
remedy, hence we would advise
those who wish to secure prompt
relief from Coughs, Colds, Hoarse-
ness, Pleurisy, Chest Pains, Sci
atica, rheumatism, Lumbago and
Backache, 10 carefully avoid
worthless plasters by always ask
ing for BENsoN's, and let no
persuation by the dealer induce
you 20 accept any other plaster.

The decision of Governor jackson,
of Maryland, to give the certificate
in the Fourth Congressional District
of that state to the Republican, Mr..
Stockbridge, and the vote of the
Louisiana State Canvassing Board
in favor of the Republican claim in the
Second District of that state remove
two congressional districts from the
doubtful to the Republican column.
AS Governor Taylor, of Tennessee,
has decided in favor of the Republi-
can candidate in the Third District
of that state, that district is practic.
ally out of the doubtful column, also.
There remains the Second North
Carolina District and all the West
Virginia districts. Even if the de-
cision in all these cases should be
against the Republicans, they would
have a majority of one in the House.
But there should be no doubt about
the district in North Carolina and of
at least three districts in West Vir-
ginia. If the right prevails in these
cases the Republican majority in the
House of Representatives will be
seven,

FRANK TALK FROM A DEMOCRAT,

We have no fault to find with the
efforts of candidates to be elected
but when there is a delay in the
count, or in collaboration of the re.
turns by the proper officers, we do
object to the ceaseless cry OF fraud
that is sent out as an excuse for the
defeat.
This State is getting throughout
the country reputation for political
rascality as baseless as any thing can
be. The charges by the Register that
negroes colonized from Virginia in
Mercer and other counties, and vot.
ed the Republican ticket by the
thousands, and thereby gave the Re-
publicans a majority, may be true,
but this is suspicionsly late day to
be making the assertion. Even if
it were true, what was the Democrat,
ic Executive Committee doing to
permit such things right under their
nose? II these charges are true it
is a recommendation for political in.

There could hardly be anything
more grotesque than the action oil
those Democrats in West Virginia
who propose to mandamus their own
governor 10 prevent the issueing OF
certificates to three republican con.
gressmen-elect. The returns show a
majority in each instance, and there
IS nothing else for the Governor to
do but certify the result. He NAV
be restrained by the Court, but it is
an extraordinary proceeding that
Democratic managers should appeal
to a Democratic Court, to prevent
Democratic governor from doing
bis plain duty. They seem to want
still further time to complete the
work OF counting ont Republican
members, which they have not fully
accomplished yet. Whatever wrong
is now committed is pretty certain
to be righted by the House itself.

Winter started in Sunday with a
snow storm only next in severity to
the blizzard of last March. A large
portion of the ocean front at Allan
tic city was devastated, and heavy
snow accompanied by strong wines
swept the Northern and Eastern
States. Several vessels were wreck
ed at the Breakwater near Lewes
Delaware, the wind blowing sixty
miles an hour. Boston was blocked
with snow. Great damage was done
at the seaside summer resorts by
the washing away of bridges, boats
and every thing within reach of the
waves. There was freight wreck
at Worcester, Mass, caused by
snOwdrift. The leading railroads are
making all preparations to meet and
avoid the dangers of such blizzard,
and blockades as were experienced
last winter.

THE SITUATION IN W. VA.

The situation in which the fight
over the election returns in this
State continues, is IA public disgrace
to the intelligence and honesty OF
West Virginians, and most exasper.
ating and humiliating to the citi.
zens of all parties. Before the cleo.

had their money and position staked
on the result, ii must go Democratic

but the cry of fraud and corruption
was raised, recount after recount de-

publican Congressman elected. Des
peration grew more desperate; the
Courts were appealed to, to prohibit
by law the election authorities and
the Governor from doing their duty
but the Courts refused or had nc
jurisdiction, and the face of the re
turns stood as returned then; the pc
litical .jugglers and gamblers, enyel
oped in the dustclouds of fraud
which they had raised, went behind

DISGRACEFUL.

The virtual defeat of our party in
the gunernatorial contest is humilia-
ting enough to every true Democrat,
but when we reflect that it has been
brought about by the gross incom-
potency and unprincipled selfiishness
of our would LEADERS, and that
the Executive Committee for whose
action these leaders are responsible,
is daily plunging us deeper into the
mire of humiliation by its foolish
and ill-advised manifestoes, the stu
ton becomes almost unbearable. In
stead of waiting the official returns
with dignity and patience, our Chair
man rushes into print in a foreign
journal, published in another State, to
assure the world that Judge Fleming
is elected by " safe majority"! Not
content with this ineffable piece OF
stupidity, in less than three days
thereafter, this same chairman rushes
again into print with new manifesto
in which he virtually admits that " on
the face of the returns" Judge FIem-
ing is defeated Not only so, but
while distinctly intimating that son
the face of the returns" Fleming is
defeated, and assuring US that he
" cares not who may have the majori-
ity on the face of the returns" in the
very next breath he tells us that the

erwise than through the - suitable
tribunals established by the consti-
tuition and the laws? In the name of
the true Democracy of West Virginia,
we do protest against the utterances
OF our self-imposed leaders, who as.
sumo to speak for us. They first
through their mouth piece before the
election, assure the people that our
candidate for governor is no match
for Golf, and unable to meet him in
debate; and after the election, they
come to the front with the declaration
that the people are going to inaugur-
ate him, although the returns on their
face may indicate his defeat, and al.
though a suitable tribunal" NAV
