The growing warmth in this neighbor hood, which has now reached an uncom fortable point daring several hours in the day, makes people think and Ulk a good deal about the matter of the adjournment of Congress. The proposition among Democratic members now is to work up to the first of June, sb the date by which needed business can be completed, and adjourn as soon after that date as possible. This is understood to mean that they will wait until the Chicago and Cincinnati nominations are made, then shoot oil whatever campaign oratory they have at Government expense, and quit before the other side can reply.

The Great Greenback Dloplny-NlalN* luitn I?) Trnvelllck'a Talk - Poll I leal Point* and Noicn. CLABKiiouRO, May 7. Kdltora Intelligencer. In accordance with notices scattered over our county, the Greeubackers, on yesterday, met in the court house to se lect delegates to the State Convention. After a preliminary meeting in the morn ing to appoint committees,the Convention adjourned until 1 v. m. The reliables of the party were present Here and there over the court house square,and in little knots about the streets, could be seen members of the organization discussing, no doubt, the distressed con dition of the country, and the imgwrnling I failure of the resumption of specie pay ments and the ruiu that would result to the people at large should it be a success. Col. James Bassel was here, dressed in a hunter's suit, as if to make game of both of the other parties. There were two things, at least, that made the members of the different parlies look forward with interest to the after noon session. One was the desire to hear the celebrated (?) F. R. Travellick, as Mr. Spencer Sturms called this speaker in in troducing him to the audience, the other to kuow whether or not there would be a fusion. A permanent organization was effected by electing Spencer W. Sturms, of Marion county, Chairman, and Mr. Piersall. edi tor of the Parkersburg Standard, Secretary. Resolutions, in substance as follows, were adopted: First-^That we approve of the princi ples enunciated by the Greenback Con vention at Washington. Second?That the course of the gallant Weaver in Congress meets the approba tion of the Greenback party. Third?That on the 13th day of Jupe a County Convention be held to nominate county officers. Eleven delegates were selected to attend the Charleston Convention on the 26th inst. Mr. Travellick, on being introduced, spoke about two and one-half hours. He had a great fund of anecdote and timely illustration. The first hour of his speech was devoted almost exclusively to a de scription of his travels, of the lands he bad seen, &c., &c. In the remainder of his speech he showed, by his own expression, the dis advantage of the State bank systems, and he endeavored to show the fallacy of a metallic basis for our currency. He showed that all nations in time of war re Borted to credit, and then he objected to counting the cost and footing the bills in time of peace. He spoke of the misery, poverty and death that he intimated might be prevented by Greenbackera. Mr. Travellick in a speaicer of consid erable humor, and many of his jokes were accepted as law and gospel by the Green back friends, especially as gospel, for cries were now and then heard of 44Amen.,# And the meeting took such a religious turn that of course a collection was taken at its close, to support the Standard at Parkersburg. As to fusion, there was very little evi dence of it on yesterday, and I presume but little probability of it in this county. If fusion means a surrender of Republican principles, then we should be opposed to it now and always, aud adhere to the princi ples that have given our party a success in the past. If fusion means an alliance in this State for a common purpose, to secure a respite from Bourbon rule, and a correc tion of some of its evils, then the Green back and Rephblican parties may do well to fuse. One thing is very evident, and that is, the Democrats are doing their utmost to prevent a fusion. Col. Dan Johnson -is in town fixing his Fences for Congress. Some one asked him vesterday if he wasn't a candidate for Con gress, and he replied, "Barkis is willin'." We thought so, and he's been willin* for at lfifliit ten vpnrs. VAii.

Editors InUilligenccr. The anniversary exercises of the Wo man's Foreign Missionary Society connect ed with the M. ?. Church were held here on Sunday evening. Miss Taylor, of the Wheeling Female Seminary delivered an address, which has been highly spoken of. The altar of the church was beautifully decorated with flowers. On the wall back of the pulpit was the words in letters of evergreen, "I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance." The work of the Society for the,past year has been very en couraging. Our revolving council met last night At their initiatory meeting the question was up as to granting license for the sale of spiritouB and malt liquors, which was laid over for action at a called meeting. The called meeting was held, and there was a refusal to graut license for either spiritouB or malt liquors, which action was supposed to be dual. But at the meeting last night another torn of the crank, the machine goes round and "beer license" is read upon the indicator. There is beginning to be some consider* able Ulk as to who will be the successor to our worthv Sheriff, J. E. Curtis. Quite a number of prominent gentlemen of both parties have been named. There has l>een some little talk concern ing fusion. As far as we can learn, at this time, fusion is not very popular among the Republicans. Hut you can not tell exactly tit this stage of the agitation. Many look upon it as a bad (scheme. . There are not many third-termers here. It is generally conceded that the nomina tion of Gen. Grant will be very disastrous to the Republican party. When an oppor tunity offers we will endeavor to give yoo the political news obtained in regulai order. 0. B. 0. HT. CLAIKAVILLE.

The lectnrer will be remembered by many here as a professor in the Academy some thirty or forty years ago. He is accompanied by his daughter, and is the guest of his brother, Rev. J. B. Johnson. Quite a number of young folks were en* tertained by Miss Clara Carroll last even* ing at the residence o( her father, Judge Carroll, on West Alain street. The girls "nearly died they had so much fun." and the bo* s "had a boss good time." Clyjrry Hill school house, which was blown down some two week ago, is to be rebuilt at once and bids are asked for its instruction. tub delegates to me uemocraiic ouue Convention have not yet returned. Messrs. Swaney and Uaumer took their wives with them. Prof. J. M. Yarnell has been appointed county school examiners for three years. He is his own successor. The Beilaire Independent names Clark, of the National Hotel of this place, as a prob able candidate for Hheriff on the Republi can ticket. This seems to astonish some of the politicians hereabouts. Jas. Thompson, for manv years a grocer of this place, has gone to Flushing to keep a hotel. The new railroad mav make that a paying business out there. The advisability of an extension of our corporate limits i? a matter of discussion [just now. Ned Green, a stone mason, was stricken with paralysis a few days ago, and his death is hourly expected. My locust item of last week has met with criticism. 1 am informed by those more learned than myself that the locust never appears in this country?that there is a marked difference between the Orthoptera Saltaloria of Asia and the Cicada of tnis country. The htntchreckenbaum, of which we read in orieutal climes, never visits this country, but every seventeen years we are visited by the harvett fly. Get out your natural histories and take a les son concerning OrthopUraAinl Evpluxoptera, and by the time they appear you may be able to judge for yourself. DELLAIKC. On the Goblet Works Is this notice: "No book agents, peddlers or beggars al lowed in these works." Prof. Doff left on the morning boat Fri* day to visit his family at Harmar. He will return Sunday evening. It is generally decided by the Gravel Hill people that something must be had in their new church to celebrate its com pletion. A meeting has been held, but at that no decision was made. This hot, dry weather has made a de mand for the water from the Gravel Hill well. The people there quietly rejoice that the well is theirs for all time and that they cannot be shut out Fires have been started in the Indian run brick-yard. J. W. Shannon and St. Clair Kelly, of St. Claireville, were in town Friday. Hotter and hotter! At the Palace drng store, Bellaire, 7 a. sc., 04; 12 u., 90; 3:30 p. 87. The window-glass works have up the wire for a telephone between their Union street office and the factory. It runs across the creek on the B. & S. W. bridge. The office end will be in Marine & Uo.'s office until the glass companv ouilds a new office. The old office is te be moved away and a new and larger one built in its room. Dr. E. B. Yost, the father of Dr. Yost who was drowned at Wheeling, and Alex. Mosgrove, an uncle, were in town Friday. Posters were put up offering fifty dollars reward for the recovery of the drowned man. If any one at Bellaire finds the body, and it is not improbable that it may be, let him report the fact to John Sanders. The Goblet works telephone wire crosses the creek just below the Belmont street bridge and cuts across lots and along " a. e new stack at the .Etna glass house is nearly done. It looks immense, as no part is yet covered by roots. A new roof and entire new front is be ing p it to the house of Mrs. Marling, that was moved some days ago. Rockershousen & Sterritt, at their Pitts burgh coal works, have made a change in waxes that increases the price from $2 50 to $2 60 for digging. The new part of the window glass house is framed. Ihis furnace will start up prob ably by the middle of September. The first of the new passenger cars for the Bellflire and Southwestern arrived Friday. It came on broad gauge trucks and was immediately transferred to tne narrow trucks. It uoes not look so top heavy as the old ones. Thestyle is some thing like the first ones. One part is for baggage and (J. S. Mail. Tne Bulletin is disposed to make fun of some disconnected phrases Randall, the Evangelist, painted on the creek bridge, Friday, with white lead froui a hollow cane. "Whoalso betrayed Him," was on one side, "Come let us kill Him," on the other, and on the railing was, "But he be gan to curse and to swear." The evange list will hold open air meetings here Sun day and probably Saturday nights. R. C. F. MOUNDSVILLE. !aaln<M .Vntlrrii-Our Cor respondent Oirlor tunS?iiiIII. Muunmviixx, Miy 7. Idlterc InUllUenetr. Old John Itobinson's advance agent has ome and gone, but he left * very tine >ulletin board just acroaa the street from he Mound City Hotel, which says that on iond&y, May 17lb, Old John will be here ritli his "Ureat World's Exposition," vhicb has more special features connect <1 with it thau any other show in the rorld. This is all true for "He himself latb said it." Now the average boy is iook ng up the requisite quarter to pus him ylthin the canvass and enjoy a day iook ng at the circus, and hearing the clown say lis funny things, while many of onr >tder ones are debating in their minds as o whether the sin of going to the circns ?111 be concealed by paying strict atten ion to tbe animals and only visiting the lircus part to take care of the children, John Kobinaon is a favorite here and a large crowd willnodoubtgreet him at each entertainment. The canvass will be erected on B?kew?U's lots, so near the1 school building that both teachers and pupils will enjoy a holiday. But they will not go to the show. Oh, nolnot even though they may be favored with com plimentary tickets. This delightful weather is being im proved by all classes of our citliens; some are planting, others beautifying the walks around their residences with shrubbery, and even the loafer is improving it by seeking the shadiest nook. Vegetation is putting forth wonderful in the Isst few days, our valley Is clothed in living green. Now is the time to see Uoundsville in its beauty. Geo. Davenport, Esq., has been spend ing a few days with us. His numerotu friends here are sorry to see him in inch poor health, and they all hope to see him soon again enjoying good health. A visit to the outer door of the State prison a few days ago showed everything to be in the very beet of order. The cor respondent of the Sunday Leader was wielding the large key almost as grace fully as he wields the pen. Capt. Lowe I was on hands, ready and willing to ac commodate, to the best of his ability, all who might call on him. As we did not go beyond the outer gate, we cannot say what was going on within, but doubtless every thing was in the best of order as it always is. ? The Webster Wagon Company are now making heavy shipments of wagons, both by boat and rail. They now manufacture i light wagou expressly for the Southern trade, and are selling a great number of them. Mr. Schwol is turning oat grain cradles it a rapid rate at his establishment in the ower ward. He is not ablo to fill his mlnra Rev. Dr. Fullerton and lady, Mrs. Dr. Moore and Mrs. Thomas Fin leave for Cincinnati on the Courier on Monday to attend the meeting of the M. ?. General Conference. Several copies of the Daily Conference Advocate are received here, from which we are able to note the proceedings almost as they occnr. It is expected that the new M. E. Church will be dedicated early in June, at which one of the bishops will officiate. The occasion will be aunounced in dae time. William Blake, Esq., in addition to the fine business room he is building in the Middle ward, is beginning the erection of a line dwelling house in the Upper ward. He has either erected or been in strumental in having erected at least a dozen houses in the last ten yoars. We need more such men in Moundsville, to take the place of those who have the meants but hoard them instead of using them for the public good. This eveuing I start for Charleston, 8. U., to attend the meeting of the Supreme Lodge, K. of II.. which meets there on Tuesday next, and if I see anything worth noting while gone, you will hear from me.

Mr. Joel Wood nas returned from ft board meeting of the W. & L. ?. railroad, at Wellington. He thinka the prospects of the road are gaining better all the time. Miss Emily H. Warwood will start on a pleasure trip the first of next week, to be gone about six weeks. She will bo in Cincinnati and take in all of the May fes tival. The Veteran Association met last night and transacted a good deal of business. Committees were appointed to secure speakers for Decoration Day. It is the opinion of all the West Virginia soldiers here, and there are about one hundred of them bere who aerved in West Virginia regiments, that the Boldiers' monument which you are now talking of erecting, should be placed on the hill near the Ml Wood Ceinetry, at least a motion to that effect was carried unanimously. Two of our important business firms will dissolve partnership to-morrow. By the burning of Cottrell's stable and horse be will loose over four hundred dol lars. Mr. Cottrell Btates that he was not smoking in or about the stable, hence it was not the case that he accidently set fire to the property. ? ^ ?? The IndlntaitpolM Journal lo be H?d? New.
