UKDNIMIUV, FEB. iH, IS77.
SevcKAi. of the Vanderbilt girln and
Cornelius, jr., filed their protest yesterday
to the probate of tbe old gentleman's
will. Heiji in a prospective content nltogether
surpassing the McMechen will
cane.
Til* Tope is a queer old man. lie in
ulwayn up to something new. He ban
been propounding a lot of questions to
tbe Cardinal* with n view of bringing
out Home points for the faithful, which
point*, according to thin morning's news,
he in to announce on the occasion of the
coming jubilee anniversury. A feature
of the news in the fact that he ban graciously
permitted the (lerman bishops to
help execute nuch lawn an are*not inimical
in any way to the Church. Biimarck
managen to execute the laws despite the
binhopn, but we have no doubt bo will be
gratified to have their co-operation.
J Dixie Brockendrouoii, who died a
few dayn ago at bin home in Lexington,
Va., win Judge Jackson? preueceaaor as
Federal Judge in Went Virginia, the
Diatrict being then called the Western
District of Virginia. He held thia position
for 10 yeara prior to the war. Jefl'erHon
Martin, of Moyndaville, was U. 8.
Marshal for the Diatrict. Judge Brockenbrough
was born in 1800 and graduated
at the University of Virginia. He
was well known here in Wheeling, where
he held a term of court regularly once a
year, nearly always bringing with him a
lot of his law-students as jurors, who, by
the way, constituted quite a feature in
Wheeling social circles during the sitting
of the court. The Judge was not only
able as a jurist, but able (so they used to
say) to take a lively hand at draw poker
by the way of sociol recreation. Physically
he was got up after the V.'ebsterian
pattern, and was not wholly unlike
Daniel in other particular*.

WHKKi.iNu, W. Va., Feb. 25.
Kdlton lntelligenrcr;
uuKxwsaiEN?i asK your inuuigence
for a few linen in your paper, that 1 may
"explain"?-as Brother Farnsworth would
say. In the Retjister this morning they
flee proper to net your humble sorvant up
as u defaulter, in bo many words. 1 will
only say that I was beset once on ^ time
by a band of thieves who took it upon
themselves to break me down by re^ngefill
testimony before a committee of Investigation
raised to investigate twentysevan
charges preferred by one Peter. Yarnall,
whom I had charged with being a
thief. Tills committee was raised at the
session of the Legislature of 1809, and
the report of said committee was made in
February, 1870. This committee was
composed of J. M. Phelps (chairman), B.
F. Harrison, of Jefferson countr, (who
was absent a greater portion of the time
during the sitting of the committee); Mr.
Dills, of Purkersburg, who was also-absent'a
greater portion of the time. Barney
Rollins, a man of large proportions
(lacking the brains), was also a member
of that committee, as was also Hon. Wm.
Price, of Monongalia county.
Now as to the report and how it was
gotten up. One B. T. Bowers acted as
clerk for said committee, and in writing
out the testimony he testified that what
he had written was the evidence in effect,
not the aclual evidence. J. M. Phelps,
the chairman, was drunk almost every
hour of the fitting of said committee,
and the sitting lasted twenty-three days.
Pete YarnalT, the main witness, waa
drunk during that time. I charged Peter
with being u thief, for which charge he
sued me in the Circuit Court of Marshall
county for $T>,000, and I was compelled
to nrove it, which 1 did, and Peter lit out
and has never paid the costs of his suit.
B. F. Harrison signed the report from a
remote standpoint. He was at home in
JefYerson county during the sitting of the
committee, Tho report as prepared by
B. T. Bowers was sent to him and he
signed it without seeing the testimony.
One or two others of the committee did
the same thing. It was a fight against
tho Republicans, as the Hon. B. W.Price
and other members of the Democra!
tic party have told me. They did
not believe that I had ever
wronged the State out of a single dime.
I was tho objective point of Ike Republican
party which they hurled their thiev- .
ing, lying witnesses at. It is enough to
say at this time that I was persecuted not I
for "riqhteousncss sake," but to break me
down financially, socially and politically.
To enlighten the committ-r*; v?ho investigated
mej 1 will Ray that four of
the prosecuting witnesses that swore
against me, are now or wer^rery recently
inmates of four penitentiaries, and Peter
Yarnall, the prince ofliars{ is now iurMeating
around the rum mills and cockpits
ot Cumberland, and only escaped oc- |
cupying a fell at Moundsville by his |
hasty tligbt. 1 will close by saying that
if it'is necessary to further investigate
me as to any act of mine during my ad- j
ministration of the affairs of the West j
Virginia Penitentiary, I am ready on
one hours notice?to proceed into the
when I know I am right I am 1
"willing to go ahead." I enclose you a
copy of the records of the Circuit Court
>f Marehal] county, which I hope Jou
(ill pobliala in lull, and at the unit time,
ay that I ImI honored by the endorienent
ot my county III Bending me to rep- ,
went them in the Legislature now In :
Melon. I I eke thle opportunity to return
my thinki to my constituent*, both
Republican! tai Democrat!, and hope I
nay do nttthlot in the new role I am
playing that will cauee me to forfeit the
good opinion tiny may have of me.
1 am jroon with respect,

In the hill there are two aeams of coal, 5% and %
feet thick, three deposits of limeatone, an 8 foot
vein of close texture aand or free atone, an 18 foot
vein of marl, which altogether nuke a soil and an

AS On the surface, tho larger portion of which lies
gently sloping to the east, and all under direct exposure
to the sun, Is a Vineyard of 80 acrea, mostly
Catawba grapes, all In flue bearing condition, about
