SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Shortly after II

The Parkcrsburg Times is an "lndc.

Of the free school system and svcry much
given to talking right out in meeting
To this disposition we are Indebted for the
following revelation Of Republican tactics
in relation to the approaching election for
school officers aud the vote upon the
school levy, The Parkcrsburg Journal,
Governor Stcvonson'S paper, would not
have been so frank, aud despite all its pro-
fessed devotion to the interests Of the free
schools, would scarcely have dared to ad.
minister to its party so sovroa rebuko as
that contained in the following extract from
the Times. 1t is entitled Ugly News
but its publication at this time may yet
lead to its being claSseI.as good noWS, "
II the Republicans want to make party
fight on the school levy, they arrAylng
themselves against it while the Democracy
vote in its favor, they are welcome to the
contest. We accept the issue and will
fight it out on this line" The Times
says


"We were informed by a gentleman that
several Of our Republicans have come to
the conclusion to vote against the School
levy at tho next August election.


"Tbo reason they assign for that prcpos
ferrous course is that, il the levy should be
voted down by the people, we can have no
schools in operation for tho next scholastic
year, which would cause such q dissatisfaC-
ton among our people as to surely kill the
chances for the success Of the party now in
power at the next State election.


1--WE look upon any movement Of tho
kind with deep regret, and predict that
such course will hurt the Republican
party more, il the levy question should be
defeated by the Republicans, than the par
ty in power, who can afford to be indiifer-
ent upon it. We hope that for every Re-
publican voting against levy, wishing to
bring, by its defeat, Odium ppcptho Dem.
Ocratic party there will be ten Democrats
who will vote for levy"


The determination Of these Paykersburg
Republicans aptly illustrates The intensity
Fof that party's bitterness in this State :
Ever siuCo the advent Of the majority party
to power, the Republicans have lnbored to
throw every possible obstacle IN tho way oil

A GOOD deal of public interest is
manifested in the proposed bridge across
Back river alluded to in the REGISTER
q few days ago. The necessity for a
better and more direct communication
between this city and the town or
Martins Ferry has been long recogniz-
ed, and the advantage OF such a COM
munication has been desired by the
business men Of Wheeling. A bridge
across Back river at the head
OF the Island would afford to our
merchants and to our citizens generally
the closer communication with Mar
tins Ferry that has been desired, and
at the came time would materially en-
hance the value OF Island property.


The city finances are, according TO
the recent exhibit, in very good condi-
ton. All that we owe is more than
provided for in the annual income and it
may be appropriately considered wheth-
er or not some portion OF the present
revenue should be applied in improving
the value Of city property and thereby
increasing the annual income. The
construction OF a bridge across.Back river
at the head ofthe Island would undoubt-
edly tend 10 increase the market value
of lots in that neighborhood, and the
increase of taxation would soon repay
to the public treasury the sum expend>
ed Tor the bridge.


The building of. bridge at that
point is urged by the people most di-
rectIy concerned The residents on
the Island are almost unanimous in its
favor, and we believe that the interests
of property.holders in the whole city
will be promoted by the success OF the
project. A recent exhibit OF the fiuar-
cial condition of the county shows its
ability to aid in work Of this kind
and there can scarcely be more
meritorious scheme presented than
that for the construction Of the bridge
in question.
