ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The Parkersburg State Journal is al
ternately complimentary, critical, in
gonious and interesting, but hardly
convincing in its discussion of the Van
Lew manslaughter case-not even con-
sistent. Dissenting from the Registers
casual remark, the other day, that Mrs.
Van Lew did not intend murder, a
proposition which the presumably
learned judge followed in his discus
sion of the case. the State Journal in
ferred that murder was intended be-
cause death resulted from the act of
the defendant, and laid down the prin-
ciple that "a man is presumed to in
tend that which he does" This, we
suggested, was not only unfair, but I'M
reasonable, for unintentional, I'M
forseen and undesirable results often
things, and the State Journal appears
to concede this by the circumlocution
route, thus receding from its first posi-
ton. The Register did not presume to
discuss Virginia or West Virginia law,
but it ventures the assertion that our
off-hand remark about the relations of
intention to the result of action is not
only very fair law, but passably good
common sense.

The Subsidy steal.

Philadelphia Record.
1t is stated that forty-five Republi-
can members Of the Senate are in ia
vor of the Frye-Hanna Steamship
Subsidy bill. which threatens to load
the American people with a burden
Of s270. 100000 on top OF the other
enormous expenditures OF their gov
eminent. These Senators may find it
easier TO vote for this colossal scheme
of favoritism than to give satisfactory
reasons for their proposed course. In
the House. Representative Burton, OF
Chic. and some other Republicans are
not to be frightened into the support
of the subsidy measure by the charge
that they are guilty of a species OF
treason to Chairman Hanna. These
Representatives are unwilling to be-
tray their constituents. whose 5enti-
ments in opposition to the subsidy bill
they well understand.

THE CASE OF GATES.

Despite the current reports that
there is trouble in store for Mr.. John
w. Gates at the coming meeting of
the stockholders of the American Steel
and Wire Company, to be held in Jan
uary. the session of the Board Of Di-
rectors, held in New York last Monday
afternoon, appears to have been fairly
harmonious, the only ripple upon the
surface being the resignation of Mr..
Herman Sielcken because he was OPP
posed to the contemplated purchase of
the American Steamship Company, for
sthictly business reasons. Mr., Gates
was present at the meeting of the
Board, but declined to discuss inside
matters, as did the directors generally,
but that the movement to GUST the
president is still alive is evidenced by
the statement of representative of
Welles, Herrick & Hicks, who told a
reporter for the New York Times
that proxies were still coming in"
Mr.. Gates is still in power, but it is
possible that the coming stockholders
meeting will result in something rad
ically different.

The Reason Why.

Parkersburg Sentinel
The Wheeling Intelligencer seems
disposed to lead a war against the
Ring that now dominates the Republi-
can party of this State, and regulates
its affairs to their own advancement
and profit. Perhaps. however, the
Intelligencer's rebellion is likened to
its position outside the breastworks.
recalling the famous saying of the late
George Sergeant that he was down on
all combinations unless he belonged
to them. That the Intelligencer is not
in it is conceded fact, and hence,
therefore, comes its opposition to the
things that be.

wealths of the North. the people Of
Virginia have taken TO stringing up
the colored brother at the rate of
three or four per week. And it must
be admitted that though Northern
amateurs do fairly wen considering
their experience. the Southern mob has
the neatness and facility resulting
from long practice. There is never a
bungle at a Southern lynching. which
is not only creditable TO the iynchers
but merciful to the gentleman who
happens to be the central figure in the
proceedings.

OUR RECORD IN CHINA.

General Chaffee has made fine rec
ord for himself in China, and deserves
we'll of his country, and is entitled to
the good opinion of the civilized world.
In arriving at this standing he has
incurred the displeasure OF Eng
land. and the contempt and remon-
STRANGE of Count Won Waldersee, but
the General may be able to live these
things down. Of the six leading ma
tions now maintaining force in
China, the English, French and Ger
mans early started in to sieze and
cry off everything portable. On the
o.ner hand, Japan, Russia and the
United States made something more
than pretense of protecting property
belonging to natives or to the govern
ment. This was the line OF demarca-
ton, and so it came about that when
the French set about removing the as
Economical instruments from the city
walls and boxed them for shipment to
Paris, General Chaffee protested and
with his protest came the warning
that allies penetrating the American
lines with grand larceny in view would
do so at their peril. In this General
Chaffee was right, and yet We read in
special kilograms that Count Won
Waldersee is not pleased that GER
tain foreign ministers resent General
Chaffees assumption of what they are
pleased to term the American COM
mander's individual preferences" and
furthermore that there is general
dissatisfaction over the American
generals refusal to join certain other
governments in giving increased sal
aries to officers on Chinese duty,
upon the principle that China will ul>
timately have to pay the entire bill.
General Chaffee has forbid his subordi-
mates to accept or demand anything
more than their regular salaries. In
his capacity as commander of the
American troops on Chinese soil, Cen
eral Chaffee has done well, and not
the least result is the assurance that
the American people will ultimately
stand higher in Celestial estimation
as a result America has gained pres
tige in the far East by her course in
China We have been firm, yet moder-
ate in our demands. We have discoun-
tenanced footing, have maintained a
respect for Chinese manners and GUS
toms, and to considerable extent in
sisted upon proper respect by others.
Our actual force has been small, but
our influence great, and when the Chi
nese question is finally settled, the
United States, through its actions, will
be in high repute in far Cath2y, and
that will do us no harm.

FINE SPECIMENS
OF Prehistoric Copper work I'm
earthed at Marietfa-Two Ancient

h2tcAets
Special TO the Register.
MARIETTA, o., December ~
Workmen excavating for a cellar on
Sixth street, to-day unearthed one of
the richest finds in the line of mound
builders relics ever discovered here.
The find was located a few hundred
yards from the old Mound cemetery
one of the most famous of the existing
relics of the prehistoric race.
1t consisted of stone vault cover
ed with large fat fagstone, and
contained the crumbling remains of a
skeleton, too far gone to be preserved.
In the grave were two OF the finest
specimens of the ancient art of cop
per working ever obtained in the
form of Ratchet blades pounded into
shape from the raw material. Both
hatchets were in perfect state of pres
ervation and are valued beyond price
by the finders. They are said to be
among the finest specimens ever Sc
cured.

If the basis of representation in the
national House of Representatives is
fixed at 100000 the number of Repre-
sentatives will be unchanged, although
some States would lose members and
others gain If this basis is fixed at
$4,000 there will be an increase OF
thirty-fve members, no State losing
and many gaining. me probabilities
are in favor of an increase IN the mem
bershlp, and yet it is asserted thai if
the 1876, 900 ratio prevails it will cost
one million dollars to enlarge the House
of Representatives sufficiently to ac-
commodate the new membe4s.
