The safe conduct through the city
given to the radical procession last night
affords conclusive proof to all who may
have had any doubts upon the subject
heretofore, that the conservative men
are really the law and order party in
Wheeling. 1t is known to every citizen
that the Democratic Conservative party
is largely in the majority in this city.
We are superior both in numbers and in
physical strength to our opponents.
They can only hold political meeting
or march safely in political procession,
with the consent of the Conservatives.
1t is therefore striking manifestation
of conservative love for peace and good
order that, Notwithstanding the provo
cation afforded by the radical outrases
last Saturday night, their process
sion was permitted TO pass through
the streets without insult or mo-
leStation from any conservative vo-
ter. In addition to the prOvocation
| offered by the occurrences of Saturday


night, the radicals farther trespassed
upon the forbearance of the conserva-


tive men by going into the procession


armed and "spoiling for fight. They


seemed anxious to betray the cOnserua-
tives into such an outbreak as that


which disgraced their own party last
Saturday night; but all their taunts
could not induce the conservatives
to forget the principles for which they


contend, nor commit n single serious
breach of the peace. The result shows
! conclusivcly who are the friends of law


and order and who are the advocates
of flawlessness and mobocracy.


This result is largely due to the per-
sonal exertions of many of the men who
were libeled by the banners in the radi-
cal procession. The conservative and
Democratic voters of the city were ont
ragged almost beyond endurance by the
proceedings of Saturday night. There
was in the party strong desire for re-
taliation and revenge, and it is proba-
BILE that the insult given on Saturday
would have been atoned for by the
blood of some of our citizens last night,
had it not been for the personal labOrs
and influence of the very men. whose
names were held up to reproach by the
radical transparencies. Mayor SwEE-
NEY, Major DoDDRIDGE, Mr.. SHALL
CROSS and Mr.. LONG, together with T.
j. CAMPBELL, and all the other
cons ervative candidates in this
county have been particularly
active during the past few days In
calming the public mind, discountenanc-
ing mob law, and endeavoring to pro-
tect the men who caricatured and en-
deavored to insult them last night. Let
the public judge which party has pur-
sured the moro honorable course.

1t will be seen from the proclamation
OF Governor SWAMI, of Maryland, pub
lished in another column, that the Rad
icals are now laboring to precipitate a
rebellion against the constituted au-
thorities of that State. MILITARY COM
binations for the purpose of resisting
and obstructing the execution of the
laws are forming now in the CITY of
Baltimore" under Radical supervision,
and will soon be arrayed in open hos
tility TO the State authorities. This
revolutionary proceeding is but another
evidence of the Radical determination
to retain political power and authority
even at the point of the bayonet, should
bayonets be necessary to secure theil
success. Clamorous for obedience t.
law when it suits their purposes, the,

An explanation is due both 10 our
r.oders and our advertisers, for the ap-
nearance presented by the Daily REGIS
TER Yesterday morning. As the type
for the fourth page ofthe paper was be-
ing put upon the press it was accident
" "pied." In order to get the paper
out at the proper time, we were there
fore compelled to reprint the second
page in the place of the fourth.


We have procured new dress of adj
vertising type, and all of the advertise
ments now in the paper will be reset
in the course Ofa few days. We expect
to give our advertising patrons, not on
ly the advantage of larger circulation
than they can obtain elsewhere in the
State, but also the pleasure of scein g
their advertisements neatly set and at
tractively displayed. But, you know,
accidents will sometimes happen in the
best regulated families"

We understand that tickets are in
circulation for the purpose of deceiving
the unwary, upon which are printed
the names of the Democratic nominees
for all the offices except for Sheriff. In
stead of Mr.. T. j. CAMPBELL's name, that
Of JACOB BURKLE is inserted. Where
the tickets were printed, we cannot
tell, but the trick is as disreputable as
is the use of marked cards or loaded
dice. The genuine Democratic Conser-
vative ticket is printed on fine white
paper and has cut of the State seal at
its head. Look at your ticket carefully
before voting it and see that it is all
correct. We believe that the substitu-
tion of BURKLE's name for CAMPBELL's IS
is the only fraud that has yet been de-
tected, but possibly there may be 9th
ers. See that the name of THOMAS j.
CAMPBELL is upon your ticket as the
candidate for Sheriff.

The radicals draw dreadful pictures,
in imagination, Of the evils that will
befall the nation when the control Of
the government passes out of their
hands. They raise all sorts Of dreadful
"bug- boos" and the "raw head and
bloody bones" that often drove sleep
from childhood's pillow was nothing in
comparison with the terrible things
that will catch and devour the unlucky
people of the United States when these
guardian radicals are ousted from office
and power. Well, so far as we rccollect.
the nation enjoyed uninterrupted peace
and prosperity during all the long years
it was under Democratic rule. There


We're no civil wars; no arbitrary arrests.


Inc burdens of the government were


easy taxation was scarcely felt; cleo


tions Were free; and every man was


permitted without molestation TO think


as he pleased, talk as he pleased, and


worship GOD according to the dictates
of his own conscience. The constitn-


tion of the United States was respected


by all the people; all the States were
represented in Congress, and the Union
remained intact. We don't think the
nation would suffer much if those old
times were to come again, even if We
would then be compelled to send into
the retiracy Of private life horde of
blood-suckers who have grown fat upon
the wretchedness they created, and can
only thrive amid tumult and disorder.
1t might be hard for the radicals, but
it would be good for the nation at large.

At the Spring election one hundred
and four votes were cast in Calhoun
county against the Constitutional
Amendment. On the 18th inst. the
Board of Registration for that county
struck off, without previous notice to
the parties, the names of ninety-eight
of those voters. No evidence was taken,
no trial had. no single provision of the
Registration act, applicable TO the case,
was observed, but by one single sweep,
ninety-eight legal voters, untainted
with treason, and unconvicted of any
crime. were disfranchised. Notice was
afterward served on each of the parties
that on the fourth Thursday IN April,
ls67, he could be heard in his defence.
We have heard of hanging man and
trying him afterward, but we have never
known punishment to precede trial save
in this and similar acts of corrupt in
struments of a dishonest Executive.
This, we presume, is the action fore
shadOwed by Governor FOREMAN in his
Mineral county speech. 1t is in this
way that the "loyal" interests are to be
protected. Loyalty must be a singu-
lar and peculiar possession when the in
iquitous laws framed especially for its
benefit are not deemed sufficient, but
must be violated in order TO secure the
end of their adoption. The Radicals
feel that by fair administration OF
their own unhOly laws they will be bad,
~ beaten, and they override their own
legislation to avoid that defeat which
nothing but tyranny and usurpatior
can avert.

Say the cost of making yard Of cotton

Boston fregbted with cotton cloth. The

per yard. This. added to the original cost
of his cloth, makes it cost him fourteen
cents, and the expenses of bringing il

per yard to get his money back, and to
make any profit he will have to charge sew
