cation of eighteen inches depth, that the
boats would have to be broken mp and sold
for old msterial at Hsrpar's Ferry, and be

for the outlay.
Col. Haines, in his reply to Senate res

the cost of improving the Shenandoah
river. He gives figures fOr each section oi
the proposed improvement, and concludes
that it would bs an unwarrsntable invest

after spendipg $500 to mske
the Improvement II would cost So'oOU

there is railroad competition, II would mol

How Washington Correspondents Of Plant and
Sabssrvisnt Organs Have Mslsd The
Public-A Few Facts Concern
ing the Matter.
Speetal T.learam b Ae Rlqis.er.

Special TtleCrdm to he Register.
WAsHISGToN, February 18.-Repre
sentative Pendleton has been the subject
of more Misrepresentation cf late than any
Otter man in Congress. Aud the singular
feature of this onslaught is that it did not
begin until after the Republicans of the
Election Committee had voted TO unseat
him.
In order TO comprehend the source and
object of the lies so freely circulated about
MIR. Psudleton il must be bOTne~in mind
that the Republicans did not advise the
public of their reasons for deciding that
Mr.. Psndlet0n was not elected. They
did not even inform the Democrats Of the
committee Of their grounds Of action.
Tdey submitted to the COMMITTEES a resOlu-
tion declaring Atkinson to have been
elected and that was all. Time was neces-
sary in order to work up case" that
might take the edge from public resent
ment.
In forcibly taking Democratic seats, Re
publican COpgTessmen feel tha. they are
outrsging the public sense of justice.
They know that the people Of this country
despise meanness aud believe ia honesty,
in politics as well as in business. Hence
in reversing the action of the people Of
West Virginia in the contested cases from
the Fourth and the First districts the
party press has
BEEN DILIGENTLY WORKED
to obscure the real facts under clouds OF
falsehOOd and Misrepresentation.
Washington correspondents Of pliaut end
subservieut organs have been summoned
to the rooms OF Election Committee
and not only supplied with fic i,ious, false
and misleading presentations of the West
Virginia cases, but actually drilled rs TO
now their hlsehOods should be laid before
the people.
la view Of all this, il will not be diflicul,
for readers Of the REGISTER TO understand
why Just at the juDc;ure between the
committee vote TO uuseat Pendleson and
the date when o report setting forth rea-
sons for that vote must be made public the
sittirg membsr fcom the First District is
made
TARGET FOR FALsEEOOD
aud Misrepresentation. Stories that he
had courted the favor of Republicans and
dad lost the regard and support Of Demo.
Gratis have been imposed upon several gull
lible correspondents Of Democratic papers.
Some of these stories have been traced di-
rectly TO Republicans.
Ii the public mind could be pr'judiced
sgainst Psndlelon then / he condemnation
Of the thief, of his seat would be less Sc
we're. Il he could be successfully belittled
and maligned then the general verdict
would be, perhsps, that it was not, after
sll. so heaicus crime to rob such man
Of his seat. When the case shall come be-
fore the House for consideration the action
OF the Democrats will show that they not
only condemn and denounce the robbery
planned. but that Mr.. Pendleton enjoys
ihe confidence and esteem of his party a.
socistes.
