interesting Convention.

Some things that tranSpired in the
Republican county convention last
Saturday were quite amusing TO the
lockers on in Venice Col Black.
for instance. seemed worried that the
Democrats should have Two men
named for nomination for the presi-
deucy. and ~aid H. did lot know boW
they would do about il unless they
had TWO presidents. Yet directly at
forwards he named some four or five
Republican candidates. and forgot 10
tell Us how many presidents they
would require 10 satisfy their banker
ing after office. The declaration OF
Mr.. Ames that he was yankee
was altogether unnecessary, "a our
people were forcibly reminded of that
fact some wears ago, and the speech
of the colored brother and his anec-
dote were just too utterly too for any
thing.
We felt sorry for Hon. Jas. ID. Butt
when the dark wing of the party sat
down upon him. His motion TO allow
the executive committee 10 choose its
own chairman was met with such a
spirited protest from Secretary Hat
ter IN behalf of the colored Republi-
cans-accompauied by the broad init
nation that if they were not allowed
TO vote openly upon any aud every
thing. they would not vote for the
party at the polls-that Mr.. Butt with
drew his motion "a quickly a he
would jerk his hand out of the fire.
Chairman Ray, too. was full of pa
triotiSm-told of how his graudfaCn-
er's bones bleached upon the fields OF
Braudywine, and his father shout
dered his musket in defense OF his
country in 1912, but forgot entirely TO
enlighten us a 10 his own record IN
the late npleasantness. Mr. hoopJz

have To get up an eight by seven com
mission to decide which presided at
the close of the convention. aud

endorsement of the administration

DECISION By tho U. S. Supreme Court.


In 1856 II. l.. Opie sold for Sal, 900 a
large tract of farm land in Jefferson
county, then Virginia, and now West
Virginia, to Henry W. Castleman, u
part of the payment being in cash
and the rest in interest bearing notes
Those payments which fell due be
in Confederate money and Virginia
bank notes, both of which were de-
preciated currency, going for the pnr-
pose of payment from the United
States military lines in West Virginia
into the Confederate lines in Virginia,
and making the payments to Mrs.
Opie Mrs Opie's sons were in the
Confederate army, and she accepted
the money, which was divided be
tween the members of the family, and
in 1865, at her request, the trustees
executed a deed OF release. About
fifteen years afterward suit was
brought against Castleman and the
point was made that the payments in
Confederate money did not constitute
in lawful money, as required by the
terms Of sale. The United States
District Court of West Virginia gave
judgment against Castleman, but the
United States Supreme Court last
Monday, in an opinion by Justice
Harlan, reversed that Judgment,
holding that the action on the part of
the Opies came too late.

1t looks as if Shepherdstown's long
DELAYED boom has come at last. y
few weeks ago Mr. J. y. Trussell
bought from the four gentlemen who
owned t about eleven acres of land
formerly belonging to Mrs. E. ).
Shepherd, situated immediately south
of Shepherdstown. He had it sur
veyed and laid of into about forty
lots, and every one OF them was sold
the past week at prices ranging from
500 TO $50. A number OF persons
who bought will at once proceed TO
build houses upon them. The lots
are situated right at the edge OF
Shepherdstown on the South. Those
at the west end Of the tract command
a splendid view, while those at the
east end are contiguous to the rail

ries. 1t is said that several impor-
tant manufacturing enterprises are
being considered, though plans are
not yet fully matured We hope that
we may be able to report additional
