Il was found the other day that somebody

that the bones Of the old saint might mirac-

may be quoted from his farewell message as

no right, under the constitution, to take
money from the people unless it be required
TO execute some one Of the specific powers
intTusted to the government, and if they
raise more than is necessary for such pur-
pose it is an abuse Of the power Of taxa

We are informed Maj. Mcdonald hasn't
made it translucent to the minds of the peo-

West Virginia certificates or debt question.
II be does not answer, it isn't because he
hasn't an opinion. The acknowledgment Of
an Indebtedness by the State of West Vir-
ginia of thirty millions, or the halt of it,
would be very unpalatable to the people

Catlett out of the bag Fisher, of Morgan
county, is a candidate for the State Senate
on the anti administration ticket. He wa:
down here and somehow manipulated Cat
lett off the track. How he made it appear
to Morrow and others of the anti Cleveland
party that he was more available man than
Catlett, Mr.. Lucas pet, we are not prepared
to say, but we suppose they were enamOur-
ed of his frankness in confessing that the
sentiment in Morgan was favorable to Cam
den. Immediately the Advocate editor
jumped to the conclusion that Unger tho
unpledgeG, is a Camden man-therefore he
said he would roast Unger." Morrow al
ways concludes to "roast" somebody the
week following an issue in which he has
"burst his boiler"
Since putting the foregoing in type we find
that the Lucas contingent of anti-adminis-
tratiou manipulators here have succeeded
in freezing out Fisher and getting Catlett to
hold the bag. Probably, upon reflection,
Fisher was too frank in admitting that the
Camden sentiment prevailed in Morgan, and
that a would-be Senator 70 green as to give
the thing away was not the man for use at
this particular stage of the game.

The Advocate in its last issue made two
statements, to-wit That cambridge wrote
to Mr.. Camden that he could not support
him, and that Camden sent word to his
friends in Jefferson to vote for Mr.. Dan
bridge. These statements, if true, only
prove Mr.. Camden's fidelity to his party
his unselfshness, and the absence In his
composition of feelings of resentment
These have been illustrated during the whole
course of his political life When, as the
regular nominee of the Democratic party of
West Virginia he was defeated for governor
by an Independent candidate-the late
Judge T. G. Green and others being promo
tors of that moyement--he submitted grace
fully and came up at the following election
with his influence and his money for the
regular Democratic ticket. Defeated for the
Senate by men of the Democratic party who
failed to obey the behests of party caucus,
he came up smiling at subsequent elections,
and helped elect Mr.. Lucas to the supreme
judgeship Other instances might be cited.
Ex.Gov. Wilson boasts that he was elected
governor without spending a cent, but he
forgot to tell the people that johnson n.
Camden spent his thousands of dollars in
defraying campaign expenses in that very
contest.

A good deal has been said to array the
laboring men against Senator Camden. As
far back as 1871, Mr.. Camden participated
in meeting at Parkersburg to urge Con-
stitutiOnal Convention. A platform was
erected, ard from among the planks insert
ed we take the following as published in
THE FREE PRESS of June "a, 1871:
That capital and labor are not necessarily
antagonistic; that wise regard for the
rights of both is obligatory upon all free
governments, and that we frown upon at
tempts to array capital against labor, or
labor against capital. But whilst we take
this fair and just ground, we nevertheless
favor giving to labor special protection and
support whenever capital, which is always
able to protect itself, infringes upon its
rights, or Expresses the laboring man."

"The Issue Joined"

From the Hampshire ReUielr.
Our brother Snyder of the Shepherdstown
Register, in his issue of last week, has an edi-
torial entitled ''The Issue Made" in which he
does the Senators from this State gross in
Justice, though we are sure it was done unin-
tentionally, for there is no more fair or honora-
bic man in the State than handsome Harry
Snyder" In the article referred to he attrib-
utes to Senator German the statement, as hay
ing been made in his speech in the Senate last
week, that "tLe Senators from West Virginia
were among those who at the outset announced
that the House bill was 50 radical, so destruc-
tive of the interests of the people, that they
would not support it."
Now the fact is the Senators from West Vir-
ginia meyer said anything of the kind, and Mr..
Gormau never made any such statement in
his speech. This is putting Mr.. Camden and
Mr.. Faulkner in false light before the peo-
pie of the State and as they have been persis-
tently misrepresented from the first 1t is GER
tainly time that they were having justice, at
leBst from their own people
Now our authority for saying that our Senator
never made any such statement as that sup
posed to have been attributed to them by Mr..
German, is the Senators themselves. Our au-
thority for saying that Mr.. German did not
say that they had said anything of the kind is
the official report of Germans speech in the
Congressional Record, to which we refer our
brother, and the following which we take from
the Record of July &c. In the proceedings of
the day before Senator Daniel of Virginia
is reported to have arisen and read an arti-
Gle from Richmond paper in which report
the same statement was attributed to Cor
man regarding the Virginia Senators. Upon
investigation Senator Daniel found that Cor
mans statement had been misrepresented,
and here is what the Virginia Senator said, in
the course of his remarks, which will be found
in full in the Record of the date above given {:
II felt assured when read the language that
it was clerical error or at least one into
which the reporter had casually and some rea-
son unknown to me fallen. This morning, in
company with my colleague (Mr. Hunton),
called the attention of the Senator from Mary
land to these expressions, feeling confident
that it was an error. was so assured by him,
and that he had not uttered any such language.
1t occurred to me that possibly the name of
West Virginia had been used in some connec-
ton, but felt assured, also, that the position
of her own Senators was the same as that of
my own State, for had never heard any in
timation of such an opinion from them. The
Senator from Maryland assured me that Meth
er as to the Senators from Virginia nor the
Senators from West Virginia had he uttered
any such language, and further that he had
not understood such to be their position"

and it is to take the place of the amendment
of 1866. Il does not endorse negro suffrage.
Il only recognizes the fact that the XIV

At no time during his speech on Saturday
did Judge Lucas deny that he was in favor
Of tariff on coal. OF course he thought
II bad manners to talk much about himself
and at a time when his mind was stopping
over With abuse Of Senator Camden, whom
he charges with being a prOtectOnist, but
he did venture to say that he was a tariff
reformer as far back as 1872 Well, the man
that gets coal down from IS cents 70 40 cents
a ton is tariff refOrmer Judge Lucas,
like Mr.. Camden, has coal lands. OF course
it would be very improper TO suppose that
Judge Lucas's opinions could be diverted
from the right from mercensry motives, as
Mr. Camden's might be
