RETURNED Sheriff Miller and the
City Marshal, who had been to Jeffer-
sonville with lot of prisoners, all of
whom they lodged safely in the great
State hotel, returned to the city yes
terday. By the way, when the Sheriff
left here, he had, we are told, white
man and a negro chained together,
which circumstance created quite
stir amongst some of the faithful.
They insisted that the convicts should
have been paired off according to
color-it looked too much like the
Sheriff vas in favor Of negro equality
for them. We are unable to give
reason for this, except it be that this
is an age of progress as we'll in opinion

aud black, we're sent to the peniten-
tiary, they we're placed on level.

A LUNATIC --Mr. John Egler, who
formerly kepta store, corner of Main
and Sixth Streets, was pronounced to
be a lunatie yesterday, and lodged in
the County Jail for safe keeping until
full Investigation Of his case can be
had. His friends state that he has
eYinoed signspof lunaey for soma time,
but nothing serious occurred until
yesterday when it was discovered
that his reason had fed. We could
not learn, indeed. as far as We could
learn, the cause of his lunacy was
not known.

DIscHARGED.-E D. Murray, the
man who was arrested ove= a year

discharged from custody yesterday.
His health was very bad, and it is not

BY refusing to obey the rather imperative de-
mands of the President and accede to his wishes,
Congress has called down the censure and cur
seS of the entire Democratic party, the Southern
portion of which have been taught from infancy
to believe that they were born to rnle. Accus-
toned to command, and be obeyed by a race
which they oppressed with the calling yoke of
slavery, what wonder that they pour the. bitter
cup OF vituperafon and calumny upon the heads
of those who dare oppose them in opinion by
acts that tend to thwart their rebelious designs
What wonder that they class all who take their
stand in favor of universal liberty, with that
race which even now feels the oppressive hand
of tyrants? The Democratic press pours out its
vial of wrath upon Congress with as much IL
cense though this government were an abso-
lutte monarchy and Andrew Johnson king.-Red

WENDELL PHILLIPS SATISFIED WITH GRANT
The following from the pen of correspondent
appears in the Ant-Siavery Standard, Wendell
Phillips paper, and would seem to meet the
views of that suspicious political " fog whistle" +"
inasmuch as it is accompanied by no word of
dissent from him :-''At last our veiled prophet
has unveiled himself, and the face beneath is not
at all that of Mokanna 1t is that of a strong,
irate man, who has forborne until endurance
ceased to be virtue, but the rather became an
hindrance OF a most embarrassing character. OF
course you have been interested observer of
the attacks on Grant, growing out of his rather
adrot obedience to the law in the matter of the
War Department affair. One thing was certain,
that the attempt of the President to injure Grant
only succeeded in degrading johnson still more.
The correspondence is altogether creditable to
the great soldier. 1t will relieve the anxieties
of the American people as to his real status. 1t
places him squarely on the front line, and we'
the Radicals of the land, are the debtors OF An

THE KILLING OF SHERIFF CocHRAN.-The Red
Bluff Independent gives the following particulars
of the late distressing homicide at Red Bluff
The Sheriff decided to remain here awaiting the
boat, and as his charge seemed rational and
quiet he was allowed his liberty in great part
not being restrained by incarceration as is the
usual way, while those who were aware of his
condition, and of his senstiveness on this point,
took special care not to let him perceive it. At
about seven o'clock last evening he came into
the saloon of Belts & Roley, in the Red Bluff
Hotel building, where the Sheriff was in CONVEX
sation with Betts, and told the Sheriff he was
going home to Trinity Center to see his wife and
children. (He has family.) The Sheriff an
swered he guessed not, when the lunatic rejoin-
ed that his wife was dying, or would die and he
not going to Stockton, but right home. The
Sheriff told him he thought his family would do
well enough and he had better 60 ON to Stock
ton and see the doctor, who, no doubt, would
soon send him back. Immediately the lunatc
seemed intensely excited and 6ercey questioned,
"Do you pretend to say you are going to pre-
vent me from going to see my wife and children |?
Damn you | will have your hearts BLOOD"
and before his intentions could be suspected,
suddenly sprang upon the Sheriff with bowie
knife in his hand the Sheriff grappled with him
and Bettis endeavored to assist the Sheriff by
beating the lunatc the head with box, when
he turned upon him with the knife upraised.
Betts retreated, and the lunatic. after mo-
meDt's consideration, turned and ran into the
street with the Sheriff in pursuit, who called to
the bystanders to stop him, but upon running
the width of the street the Sheriff fell. Persons
FASTENED to his aid and discovering his bloody
garments, at once carried him to DR.. Bradway's s
drug store where an examination showed he had
been stabbed in the heart. He was speechless
and expired in fifteen or twenty minutes after
La:- int tIa Arnp ctr A r.
inquest was held by Justice Bahney when the
main facts related above were elected, together
with the fact of the lunatic's having bought a
knife in town during the day. The body was
taken in charge by our fellow w-townsmen Com
stock, Loomis and others, and forwarded to his
family at Weaverville. He leaves wife and tw o
three children. The lunatic, after committing
the deed fed, and sudden the whole
transaction that pursuit on the instant was not
thought of, but Sheriff johnson shortly succeed
ed in arresting him. He is now lying in Jail at
this place. The deed has cast gloom over our
town, for deceased was very worthy man. His
untimeIy death will be severely felt in Trinity

The New York World has a way OF
its own for defeating Impeachment
which may be taken as a specimen OF
what the virtu0us party which regards
impeachment as revolutionary and de-
nouuces Congress as corrupt would do
in case Of need. The following is the
way Of the World:


Let the men of wealth in this city .

Senators whose terms Of Office expire In
1859. Beyond that time they are sure Of
no political positions so far as they know
now, they are sure of no paying place,

We are glad to see the Chicago Times

where our organization is at fault. The
Times truly says there can, without much
trouble, be great improvement in thai re.

cry town, with authority to appoint men in
every school district to canvass such district
and report the result Of their lAbors,and sug.
gest what oug ht to be done to advance dem.
ocratic interests, the towns reporting to the
counties, and the latter to the state commit
tee,--Aud the good results Of such action will
soon be seen. The plan is simple, feasible,
and, if the work be faithfully performed, will
insure democratic victory. A majority of
republican voters are now willing to hear
both sides and fairly choose between the
parties. The current of public opinion is
turning in favor of democracy; but it will
not be swift enough to carry US to victory in
November without exertion of our own. Or.
ganize, democrats of Illinois, and by hard
work deserve the success which you can
achieve. You ought to be beaten, and you
will be beaten, unless you work as if your
hearts were in the cause. DO that, and you
will kill the Jacobin party. Are you doing
your duty in organizing your school district

m.ENvLLE, GILMER COUNTY,


W. Va. January % 1867.
Editor of the Register.


1t has been seldom that have seen a
communication in your most excellent
paper from this county, and seeing let
ters from almost all the rest of be conn
ties in this state frequently published
| thought as the Legislature of the
State was now in session that would
drop ysu a few lines, which, if you
thought proper you might give place
in your columns.


The question of the location of the
capital of our state will be brought be-
fore that body for consideration once
more.


Our county is in rather an isolated
part of the state ut present and this is
owing to no improvements of any note
passing through it, but if you look upon
the map of eur state you will see that
we are near the geographical center Of
the state, and should there be dispO-
sition Oh the part Of the members of the
Legislature to place the capital near
the center of the state, We may reason
ably expect that it cannot miss our
county far The Little kanawha River
passes nearer the center of the state
than any other stream Of any size, aud
is susceptible of navigation by steam
boats on an average of at least four
months in every year. With little i'm
provement by way ofclearinS the banks
of timber that oyerhang the stream, and
cleaning ont and deepening the shoal
places in the river, it might DC made
navigable for a much longer period.
Another advantage this country has
over most other countries Is that the
finest beds of bituminous coal that are
in the State abound from Glensville,
the county seat, up the river and its
tributaries TO the BTaXtOn county line,
4 distance of some fourteen miles, where
the coal veins sink or are too low to
work profitably. If there is ever rail-
road made through from the Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad to the Covington
and Ohio Road it must pass directly
through this county, as it lies almost in
a direct line from the Central Pennsyl-
vauia Road to Charleston in Kanawha
county.


All our county wants to make it ole Of
the best counties in the State is TO de-
velop its mineral resources. We have
some of the largest beds Of iron ore
here perhaps that are in the State, and
then the coal lies near the ore, so that
tho fuel to run furnace would be but
little expense more than the running of
it. In addition to this, the county is
not surpassed in the State for the pro-
duction of corn and tobacco, and almost
all kinds of grain are raised in abund-
ance. We need more capital here to
develop the resources of the county
aud we could with some changes in our
laws be happy and prosperous people.

The advice contained in the follow
ing paragraph is from an experienced
poultry raiser, who has made both
money and reputation by following
this branch of domestic industry. His
suggestions, if followed, will enable
those who raise poultry to keep young
and profitable fowls, instead of great
number of old and feeble fowls which
are not worth the food they consume:


A pullet hatched early in the spring
begins 10 lay at the approach Of winter,
and pullets hatched late in the summer
begin to lay in the ensuing spring, and
it is by saving a certain proportion of
pullets from the early and late broods,
that you make sure Of winter eggs, a
few early hatched chickens for catch
ing the highest markets, and n numer-
Gus flock of chickens in the warm
months, when rearing is least precar-
ious. The hen continues in her prime
for two, and, at most, three years.
therefore save every year pullets equal
to third of your brood stock, selling
of at trifling price the same number
Of aged hens, or offering them up in o
stewed dish or well baked pie How
ever, have no scruple abont keeping a
heavy, symmetrically made, splendidly
ieatbered "partlet," for four years, for
the sake of her stock. Many farmers
grumble about their poultry, from not
paving attention to such simple mat
ter as their not looking over their brood
stock once a year, drafting all the old
danes known by the developed scales
on their legs and reserving from the
market basket the most promising
young pullets raised during the past
season.
