CuAHLgsrox, W. VA, Oct. 14-There
is woe in the Democratic camp. Judge
Ferguson wants to withdraw from the
county ticket, but the committee will
not hear to it. He has been considered
tho head and shoulders OF the Demo
cratic ticket and it has been whispered
around among the faithful: "Well, we'll
elect Judge Ferguson, anyhow" and all
on recount OF the mining laws. The
Judge had a fatherIy pride in the screen
and scrip bills passed at tho last ses-
sion OF the Legislature, and it seems
no doubt that their constitutionality
would be established by the supreme
court, but the court did not settle the
matter, anditstill remains in statu quo,
and the judge is mad.
He thinks the Democratic cause is a
hopeless one now. If the court had de-
clared his laws constitutional, hethought
he might win and carry the ticket with
Uim, but he doesn't think 30 now. The
mere suggestion OF his withdrawal
throws the committee into commissions,
and finally, under pressure, he consent-
ed to let them lead him like a lamb to
the slaughter. lie IS quoted as having
said a few days ago: ~ am not going
to run this campaign through. l pro-
pose to be q free lance from this time
on" When questioned as to his mean
ing. he said:
''The decision OF the supreme court
has fixed it so that | can't do the
miners any good if should be elected,
and l am not disposed to lose my time
and injure my health for nothing"
But they won't let him off. He has
reluctantly accepted the situation. His
wife, it is said, is not yet reconciled.
She says that at his time OF life and in
his state OF health it is a shame to com
pei him to accept the candidacy against
his will. But even her protestations
are OF no avail.
1t is a forlorn hope, even with the
Judge in the lead. Without him the
case is absolutely hopeless. The COM
mittee has go decided and the judge
has decided to let the committee do
what seems good in its sight.

The Inventor OF Panornmas.

Robert Barker, an Irish painter who
lived in Edinburgh toward the close of the
last century, was the inventor Of pano-
ramas. In 1856 he was imprisoned for debt
in the Scottish capital. His cell was
lighted by an air hole in one of the corners,
which left the lower part of the room in
such darkness that he could not read the
letters sent 10 him. He found, however,
that when he placed them against the part
of the wall lighted by the air hole the
words became very distinct. The effect
was most striking, and IL occurred TO him
that If picture were placed in n similar
position it would have wonderful effect.
Accordingly, on his liberation, he made
n series Of experiments which enabled him
to improve his invention, and on June 10,
1857, he obtained patent in London which
establishes his claim 10 he the inventor OF
the panorama. London artists spoke with

their opinions did not prevent the public

HARTER VERSUS BLAND.
A Relief Bill Calls Up a Hot Silver
Discussion.
"NOT HIS HEART, BUT HIS HEAD"
The Coinage Friend Means Wen, But
He's Weak in His Upper story-No
Change in the Behring Sea situation
Pensions for New Englanders.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 20. The bill for the
relief OF A. j. Duncan OF Tennessee was
the axle upon which revolves another
silver wheel. 1t was set in motion by
Mr.. Bland, who had the clerk read let
ter from a Grand Army post in Missouri,
asking him TO inform Mr.. Harter, in re-
sponse TO his anti-silver circular, that the
Grand Army posts were able TO attend to
their own business.
MIR. Bland again criticised Mr.. Harter's
attitude on the silver question.
MIR. Harter said MIR. Bland ought 10 rise
TO the manliness of ascribing to other
gentlemen the singleness and integrity OF
purpose which he arrogated TO himself.
As the fact that he (Mr. Harter) had
chosen, at his own expense, TO reach a
very large number of the people of the
country who were deeply interested in
the silver question, seemed to rankle in
the mind OF the gentleman from Missouri,
he would state that he had also taken the
liberty of taking great pains 10 search all
classes of citizens who would be injurec
and wronged and outraged by the kind of
legislation which his friend, honestly but
ignorantly, would force upon the
country. Laughter).
The free silver bin was an Infamous
measure and vet he ascribed TO the gem
tleman an honest purpose in submitting
it, The difficulty was not with the heart
of his friend, Mr.. Bland, but the trouble
was with his head, (Laughter.) The only
question was whether MIR. Bland was
wrong and whether he (Mr. Harter) was
right. 1t was an evidence of weakness of
the very worst kind OF intellectual cow
ardice, for q member to take the time of
the House in denouncing a man under
such circumstances.
Mr.. Mckinney of New Hampshire raised
the point OF order that this discussion
was entirely out of order, not being di-
rected TO the bill under consideration by
the committee. The chair sustained the
point of order and stated that the bill
under consideration was one for the re-
lief OF Mr.. Duncan of Tennessee. Mr..
Uarter replied that his remarks were di-
rected toward the bill, as if Mr.. Duncan
got the appropriation he wanted TO be
paid 100 cents on the dollar. daughter
and applause).
Finally in reply to Mr.. Lind, Mr.. Har-
ter said: "The position OF the Democratic
party is in favor of a double standard and
in favor OF keeping every dollar worth 100
cents. Applause on Republican side and
demands for the regular order from the
Democrats.)
The silver debate then terminated and
Mr.. Holman of Indiana raised against the
Duncan bill the point of no quorum.
Mr.. Reed suggested that hundred
members be regarded as constituting a
quorum; but as this suggestion did not
meet with favor, he proposed that unani-
nous consent be given to locate the claim
in Indiana, which might obviate the OBJ
lection OF the gentleman. (Laughter).
Without action, the committee rose
and the House adjourned until Tuesday.
