From other sources It was learned
that the project originated with either

pledged 1t their support. The regiment

sent to Mr.. Connor or Mr.. Myers their
application for enlistment. As they
are to enter the service of the

feel that they can consult their own
preferences as to the organization with
which they shall affiliate as such vol

their employ from one to half n dozen

GOOD SOUND SENSE.

j. X. Clifford is editor OF the Pr
oneer Press, OF Martinsburg, official
organ OF the colored people. lie is
an intelligent coiored man aud was a
candidate for congress in this dis.
strict. He has the following to say:
"We have reached the conclusion
that the colored man who depends
upon the whites for work, don't
show good sense by cursing the
democrats and angelizing the Re
publicans. We don't advise them
10 os Democrats, but we do say.
they don't show good sense to abuse,
work and vote against the very
persons who give them all the work
they get. Take, for instance. JEFF
1erson county, where there are a
thousand colored voters, nine
tsntbs OF whom work for Demo.
Gratis, and would suffer for the
wants OF life, were it not for them.
Democrats of Jefft rson are kindly
disposed in every way TO the color
{" people. Ihat county has the
best schools Of any county in the
state, in the shape of length of
Lime, and pay for teaching. There
le more manly treatment to the col.
ored teachers by the viii es, than
there is in any other county IN the
state. These things being true,
why not vote like intelligent men.
By that we mean vote for whom
you choose, but do 1T quietly and
gentlemanly. Where have Repub-
Jicans done for colored people
what the Democrats of Jefferson
nave for Tom Lovett and others
we shall not name. We have con-
clnded that Democrat does not
mean Devil"

New York Financial Review.
The nomination OF John Il. Nc
Giaw for Congress by the Demo-
crats OF tho Second district of West
Virginia has created no little in
terest here, and caused considerable
satisfaction as well, for as one of
the foremost citizens and business
men OF that State. he is naturally
known in New York personally and
by reputation. Mr.. McGraw Is
among the best known citizens of
West Virginia, is one of the largest
land owners, and is actively inter
ested in the States railroad, coal,
lumber and oil development. With
the exception OF ex Senator Davis,
of the West Virginia Central
railroad. Mr.. McGraw has prob.
ally done more than any other
native W,st Virginian to bring TO
the attention of Eastern capitalists
an intelligent knowledge of the
marvellous of this State;
and with the enlarged opportuni-
ties afforded by an election 10 either
branch of Congress. his influence
in this connection, will be doubly
augmented. As a lawyer, he has
gained much prominence, having
been a member of the blr since
1876, and having participated in
some Of the most important litige
tons OF recent years. Mr.. McGraw
is forty years of age and is active
and energetic, while his education,
legal training aud business exper-
fence make it certain that he will
efficiently and creditably represent
bis State IN the event of his cleo
ton. West Virginia will gain
thereby a strictly business Con-
gresham who will do his State JUS
tice and honor.
