WHEN STAINS REPLY
 IS LOOKED FOR.
Sometime Tomorrow the Answer Is Expected, but No Conjecture Is Made
 as to What It Will Be.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The persons best informed as to the probabilities de- clare that the answer of the Spanish government to the terms of peace out lined by the government of the United States is not expected before tomorrow. This opinion is based upon the knowl- edge that the Spanish cabinet will meet in extra session today to arrive at the final answer.
 It has been made clear to the French ambassador that hostilities will not be suspended except upon the full assur- ance of an acceptance of our conditions and that he has undoubtedly informed the Spanish cabinet that it depends upon Spain when the war shall cease. Mean. while our government has not interrupt. ed the execution of it's campaigns as an order was issued from the war depart ment for the dispatch of an entire army division to reinforce Generals Miles and Brooke in Porto Rico. This will be known as the provisional division and will be commanded by Major General Wade.

Sowing and Reaping i.

In politics the same law Of cause and effect obtains as in individual actions, the same actions have from the beginning of human his tory produced the same results. The sowing of political corruption will always bring harvest of dis honest officials and corruptible voters. No stream can rise higher than it's source. The dishonest methods employed by a political party againss an opponent soon be- gets the same dishonesty among themselves and they stuff and steal each other out with the same con. viction that the end iust.aes the means that they formerly employed against a common enemy.
 We lament the fact that the times are ont of joint and that the count ry is fast going to the devil, seeking vainly some remedy for the evils by legislation, while we utterly ignore the fact that we are but reaping the harvest from the seeds sown many years ago, when the negro was Q dreaded factor in politics and an arbitrary element in elections. There was a grim determination to prevent the domination of the ex slave over his former master. Self preservation and the perpetuity Of our social institutions demanded that he be kept in political subjuga- ton. Suddenly endowed with the franchise, the power, or importance Of which he was totaly ignorant, he became an easy dupe for that class Of white men who sought office by their votes. They sought to inspire a spirit of revenge for the many

Terms Regarded Very Hard.

London, Aug. ? The Madrid core. spondent of The Times says:
 The conflicting accounts of the Ameri- can peace terms and suspicion that the Spanish gover ament was temporiz- ing i'll order to confront Spain with the occupation of Porto Rico and the capitu- lation of Manila, originally caused ilrl. tation and provoked strong language, but it is nov seen that the suspicion was unfounded.

being President of the West Virginia
Northern Railroad Company, in which
enterprise he has invested consider
able money, and the line of which he
sanguinely expects to push on through
to Morgantown in the very near flu
fure.-Mr. Sturgiss is an orator of
marked ability and power, and never
fails to attract and interest large au-
diences. The gentleman, yielding to
the requests of many friends, last
spring decided to become candidate
for Congress from this District, and
the first authorized announcement of
his candidacy appeared in his home
paper, the Morgantown Post, under
date of May Goth, last.

Bad People in nc Bowel Comfy
Petersburg Sentinel

Sheriff w w. Whyte, of Nc Dow
ell county, was in the city this morn
ing On his return home from Mounds
Ville where he had taken six colored
prisoners, three OF whom were sent
up for life.
In reply to inquiries made to him by
the Sentinel he said that he had
been sheriff of Mcdowell county for
eighteen months and during that time,
had taken fifty one prisoners TO the
penitentiary, forty eight of whom
were colored. Of the last delegation
sent up. two were negro women, who
were sent up for poisoning another
negro and robbing him of large roll
of money 1t was also proven at the
trial that the scene Of that crime had
also been the scene of a number of
other robberies. none of which how
ever resulted in murder
Mr.. Whyte also stated that public
hangings were discountenanced in
his county or, at least at one such a
large crowd was present, and they
were so disorderly, that two murders
resulted that day.
He is a very interesting talker, and
yet in his quiet manner it is quite
evident that he possesses an iron nerve
and is not afraid to execute his duties.
