A REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

No matter who is seated as Gov
ernor, the Republicans have triumph
ed in this contest. Democratic lead
ers and newspapers charged that
there were from five to fifteen thous-
and fraudulent votes cast in the
State; that all law and justice had
been outraged in the election; that
there was open fraud and corruption,
&c. After the most extraordinary
effort, all this is proven false, and
that honesty prevailed at the last
West Virginia election. OF this all
decent people should be proud.
The fact is this is the death strug-
gle of the Solid South, and she dies
hard. This contest was inaugurated
by set of demagogues who care
nothing about the right or wrong.
What they desire Is to prevail and
they care not how much the fair fame
of the State is injured in the strug,
gle.

" OLD BLACK JOE"

NEW YORK, August 1G.-.The orig.
inal "Old Black Joe +" died at Mount
Holly, N. j., yesterday in the little
cabin where he has lived for years
just on the outskirts of the town. He
was the oldest man in the State, be-
ing liz years old. He was born in
Virginia IN 1777, and the fact is re-
corded in faded characters in an old
family Bible. Joe was runaway
slave and came to New jersey in
1867, where he was taken care of by
some of the residents of Mount Holly,
one of whom is still living and re.
members that he was well along in
years when he came here. For
years past the townspeople have
to his wants and kept him
in comparative comfort. He was
very patriarchal in appearance, and
his form was bent nearly double with
the weight of years. A monument
will be erected to his memory by the
citizens.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, August l6.
Jennie Z. Hulden, 6-year-old
orphan girl at Quinnmont, has been
confined to her bed several days. At
first it was thought that her indlspo-
sition was not serious, but as she did
not appear to improve suspicious
we're aroused and inquiry developed
the fact that she had been criminaIly
assaulted on August 5 by a colored
man named Hill Dawson. She is
said to be in avery precaricus condi.
ton, and examination shows that in
addition to the injuries caused by
the assault she was suffering from a
loathsome disease. A warrant was
sworn out and Dawson was arrested
and committed to Jail at Fayetteville
yesterday to await the action OF the
grand jury. He made no attempt
whatever to escape, probably think.
ing that bis victim would not tell the
story Of his crime. He is about %
years Of age.

The farmers and business men of
Berkeley should join together aud
have several test wells sunk for oil
or gas. The best authorities on such
matters assert that the gas and oil
and coal fields extend through this
section bu. lie at a greater depth
than in the Western portion of the
State. 1t would pay. An oil or gas
boom here, so near Baltimore and
Washington, would make old Berke-
ley roll in wealth and fame.
