Ohio Frets, SttvbwviUe. Among the best of our exchanges—roost enterprising and newsy, is the Wheeling Si'spay Register. It is chock full of new*, and it* editorial and local departments are specially able and well conducted—besides the Register can be taken and read in any fannly with profit, and without offense to the most refined taste, which is one of the prominent objections to too many Sunday journals.

[Continuedfrom Second Fage.] than 100,000 office-holders pay bat an aver age of |10, and even the laborers receiving bnt #50 a month are assessed $12, the Re publicans will realize for election purposes considerably over $1,000,000. This is what is termed ''carrying on politics on business principles." Those holding office from Virginia have even a harder time of it, for it is asserted that the Readjuaters, with the aid of the administration, have Ltirlrd aa Additional rive Per Cent, on tbeir salaries, for the use of their party ib the State election. f These gentlemen, having the power, first Yrcate these offices and fix the salaries, and (ben get an election fund directly from the public treasury by taxing the officer-holders fur a sufficient amount to run the expenses of the campaign, and this is done by some of the most prominent members of both Houses of Congress, who constitute the Campaign committee. There is but one way to counteract this Vvil. Congress should pass a law pro hibiting all snch acts, and the people, by their votes, should teach these gentlemen that when they undertake to ra»ke a money canvass, they are going considerably farther i than the American people will stand. ^On the one hand, the Republicans have the office holders, the offices and the money; on the other band the Democracy goes into the fight with principle and right on their side. And while the one, using all the in fluences that power can control, or money purchase, may have full sway for a time, yet the truth of history demonstrates that those who use corrupt means to obtain and perpetuate their power will, sooner, or later, be driven from the management of the affairs of the people, and the Republi can parly will not prove an exception. (bangM In Official Finance Beport*. In connection with the extravagant use of money by the Republicans, I want to call your attention to the manner in which the books of the treasury department have been kept since that party gaiued control. « In 1877, in several speeches I made in the [Stliate I clfcirued that the books of the trea sury did not agree in many instances, and that numerous alteration* bad been made >u some of them to make the amount of the public debt and other items correspond. A lengthy and thorough investigation result ed, and the ref>ort of the committee, wnich has never been denied, showed that the charges I bad made were fully substantia ted.

What is meant by that? A.—That is in accordance with the Secre tary's report of 1*71. 'J hose amounts do not 8]>|>oar upon our books. They are added in accordance with the Secretary's order in order to harmonize the two, as is shown in the report of 1871. y. —I understand that these three items, an ounting to between si x and seven million dollars do not appear upon your books? . A.—They do not. f t^.— liut arc added here by order of the secretary? A—So I understand. This shows that I)r.

On pages 212 and 213 Mr. Saville, then chief clt rk of the Treasury Department, says the system of bookkeeping was changed in 1870, and the changes, when | compared with the amounts nreviously re ported by the Register, increased the debt i statement in— 1862 (about) $10,000,000 1*63 (about) 20.000.(K)0 Ih64 (about) 75.000,000 C There has been no attempt to explain tSese increases in the public debt, amount ing to $106,000,000, except that Mr. Saville said that "in order to keen the public debt correctly by receipts and expenditures it is necessary to | lake EalrtM Wot Warranted by law." I also submit a statement showing that in nine of the great ledgers in the Treasury bepartment, there were found 2,527 altera tions, changes and erasures, involving from a few dollars to twenty millions or more: r* ? r»T - ? - S - i - ^ 7 a p* Opp?

JOHN W. GENTRY, Clerk. Let me give you Another Illustration of Republican book-keeping. It is settled all rules that when the principal of a debt is reduced, the amount of interest on that principal should be reduced in cor responding proportion. The official reports show that the public debt has been steadily and largely reduced for years, yet, strange to -ay, ttie official records of the Treasury Department show that while in 1876, we paid as interest on the public debt, $100, 243 27L23. and in 18?7 $97,124,511.58. Yet in 1870 it was increased to $102,500,874 65, and in 1879 to $105,327,949, showing an in crease fur the years 1878 and 1879 over the years 1876 and 1877, of $10,461,040.84. and it must be remembered that the rate of inter est was decreasing from 6 to 3% per cent, also. This, however, is only another one of the mysteries lurked in the vaults of the Treas ury that will never be solved, until a new custodian is appointed by the voice of the people. InrrtMf of OfHee-IIolders. As an illustration of the manner in which the number of Republican office holders are increasing take the growth of officers in some of the Departments, as shown in the following table: IX-partment. j 1802. | 1830. i l**W. 1882.

The following table will show th3 Increase of Fxpendltnro* in the various departments of the Govern ment for 1883, over 1882, as passed by the last Congress: Z z 5.: : : a: : : 8 '• ® • 525! ! j ! !

Appropriation*- Permanent and In definite. I! and my Democratic Colleagues, have mailt- repeated efforts to induce Congress to repeal the appropriations known as '•Permanent and Indefinite," and place them under its own direct supervision and control, yet so far, although a bill, looking to this end, has twice passed the Senate, we have failed. The result of leuving them unrepealed is to place a large amount of funds to the credit of indefinite appropria tions to be disposed of at the discretion of the Administration. Among other items that come under this head, the collection of custom duties alone, last year, amounted to over $<>,500,000, and the aggregate, ex clusive of interest on the public debt, and the sinking fund, in round numbers, to $15,000000, while the entire amount, in cluding these last items, was |4*>.S17,307.0i». At each Congressional election, the ex penses and salaries of the Federal super visors of elections and assistant Marshals appointed during the time of said elections, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, are Paid From Thin Fund. "While I do not say that any consideiable portion of this fund is being used for im proper purposes, yet the opportunity to use a large portion of it for the purpose of carrying elections is placing too much tower in the Lands of any political party. Jt is a great deal better and safer to have Congress annually supervise all appropria te ns oi Money, upon tegular estimates, to l>e furnished by the dillerent departments. River anil Harbor Bill. The pas§#ge of the "river and harbor" bill at the last session of Congress has caused much discussion and criticism throughout the country, and in our.State. At times and in places, fair criticism has given away to unjust centure and violent abuse of the bill and those who voted for it. It is due to frankness for me to say that I think the bill was too large in amount. I thought so at the time it was before Congress, but it was better that it Should have nassed with this defect than not to have passed at all. Much of the ap propriation was to continue unfinished work on rivers and harbors, and which might have become worthless unless finished. Nearly one-third of the appro priation is for the improvement of the Mississippi river and the Potouiac flats at Washington, and it is generally conceded tbese are proper ubjectsjfor appropriations, besides those made for unfinished work on our harbors and navagable rivers. The fact that this appropriation is to t>e expanded under direction of the corps of ingineers. at whose head stands Gen. H. G. \\ right, a faithful, honest and accomplished « fticer, ought to be a sufficient guarantee that it will be Properly Expended, unless von exclude the 2 per cent, assess ment fund It can be said to the credit of the engineers that since the beginning of the government, there has not occurred a oa^e of defalcation in the corps, although they have beeu charged with the disbura meiit of hundreds of millions of dollars. The State of West Virginia, since 1870, baa enjoyed her proper share in this appropri ation; and the improvement of her rivers have been, and always will be. a great ad vantage to our people. and aid in getting their products to market The bill is national and general in its character and there is no reason to call it a steal, or induige in violent abuse of those who voted for it—about the only objection to it is ita large amount Public Uadt Given Aw»j »• Railroads and Olber Corporation*. There have been given away, of the pub lic domain, to railway and other corpora tion 207,400.031 ams," and area greater than the total area of the following btates, Tit.: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti cut, New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, lu law are Maryland, Virginia. North Caro olina, South Carolina and Georgia. Of this large an onnt the Pacific Railways received 148 675.103 acres: The people are beginning to realize what a reckless waste of the public property this has been, now that they are forced to pay th»se corporations high price* for homes. One of tbe evils connected with these vast donations is that the corporations ownin* tbe lands have, to a large extent, avoided paying taxes m tbem. leasaltlssilsi of Mirer. The follow njr 'aWe taken from tbe report of ibe Comptroller of the Currency for 1**1 shows the t -tal amount of circulation in u»e United 8tat»-s, on November 1st 18*1, and the increase since 1379, as also the amount* of gold, silver, legal tender and national bank circulation, respective'}- on that day : Sf8%& — — O IIi£| Ym\ It is estimated that the increase In the gold and national bank circulation has been comparatively slight, while the silver cir culation has increased at the rate of $2,000, 000 per month, which would make the to tal, up to the present, about $200,000,000. This great result, with all its advantages to our people, trade and commerce, is due to the re-monitization of silver, which was passed ty a Democratic Congress, in the face of furious oppoMtion, in aud out of Congress, by the Republican party, but now its wisdom is so generally acqniesqued in,that it lias ceased to be a question in pol itics, and Germany and other leading pow ers are considering the question of follow ing our example. Aajthloff for Power. The Republican party, so lofcg accustomed to control and power, has become arrogant and domineering, and its leaders think it presumption to ask the people to make a change. It shifts its sails to catch every breeze and suit every voter who will op pose the Democratic party. Its chief aim seems to be to perpetuate its p«« ver and keep control of tne government a id the offices, no matter how or by what nums. To this end, whenever it has suited its purposes, although loudly protessinu to be the i>arfy of high moral ideas, honesty, re form and progress, it has made alliances, and gone into fellowship with every politi cal heresy and ism of the day. In Iowa, Texas, and other States, it has openly com bined with Greenbackers, demanding an unlimited issue of currency. In Virginia, under the sanction and with the aid of the administration, it unites with and stands shoulder to shoulder with repudiation, willing, if it can only get and hold power, to wreck the finances of that State, with its great history, and destroy its credit forever.

Chalmers, as the hero of the Fort Pillow massacre, and the worst barbarian of the late war, the Republican party in Mississippi, the moment it thinks it can make nse of him, endorses his nomination, made by bolters, and welcomes him as a refo rmer, that will redeem the South from bouibonism. as it has heretofore done with Lonpstreet. Mosby, and many othen. In New York, through and with the aid of the candidate for Vice President, an 1 now President, it openly bartered away t> Boss Ke|ley the patronage of the great city of New York for Republican victory in the Stale, which gave that party a Governor aud President. But thin Spirit of Intritcne, bargaining and trading, for the sake of power, has not stopped with localities and States, but it has invaded a Republican Congress, and reached a Republican execu tive. In the organization of the last House of Representatives the Greenbackers and Readjusters held the balance of power and the Republican party was in the minority. A bargain was made by which the Green backers and Readjusters should vote for a Republican Speaker, for which service they received good places on the committees. This bargain extended even to the unseat ing of Democrats duly and legally elected, and the seating of Republicans in their stead. This saiue kind of a combination was made between the Republicans in the Senate and Mahone; and in the State of Virginia with the Readjusters, which re sulted in the election of Riddleberger. And to-day Mahone. the confederate, Democratic- Readjuster-Republican stands Clothed Willi the Conlldence of the President, the Administration and the Kopunnean party, and dictates appointments in Vir ginia. 1 nder his bargain, he turns oat true and tried Republicans, and in some in stances even wounded Union soldiers, and puts Keadjusters into office in their stead, in order to promote hi* success and that of his ally, the Republican party. It is said he has a regular printed form on which he makes his endorsements for position for his followers, and these are now in use in the Post Office and other Departments. These are some of the methods being used by the Administration and the Re publican party to keep itself in power. Eleclloa*. The will or voice of the people in the last two elections of I'resident hasn ot con trolled. Hayes was declared elected by fraudulent counting of electoral votes, and and (ieneral Garfield was elected by the free use of money in the purchase of votes. Even with the great advantages possessed by the Republicans, in point of having the offices and the power, the two great political parties are very nearly even ly divided. This is shown by the fact that lilden in 1876 lad a majority of both the electoral and popular vote; and in the Presidential election of 18*0 the popular majority of Garfield over Hancock was only 7,018, as will be seen by the follow ing statement: l'he popular vote for President in lfcO was: <»a> field.

It will also oe seeu hat ae Irreducible School In creased over 80 per cent, from 1870 to 1880. In the matter of school administration, it is^ conceded that West Virginia oin chri lenpe comparison with any state in the lul0D' stale InuMtntlone. Since 1870 there have been large ameunts cToended on the State Institutions, and they have all been greatly improved in sue per capita than tn 1870. and 1 ««"urc.to lav that the public institutions of no State fn^he Union are better managed, or afford better facilities for their purposes, than do those Of West Virginia. Ntnle Taxation. Another advantage our State lias is that while we hear murmurs of complaint from other States, especially South and Eist, about the heavy burdens of taxation, the taxes of our State are comparatively light; less than those of the majority of States, and less than half as much as some of the others. While fully two-thirds of the8tates have larger rates than ours, and some of them double and thrible as much, our State tax is but 30 cents on the hundred dol lars,ten cents of which is devoted to the use of free schools, leaving but twenty centa for general purposes. Of course, there are some people, and T suppose some Demo crats, who complain even of this low rate, but in the majority of instances, in this as in other matters, you will find those that grumble most are those who have the least cause. Debt Qiination. A groat many slurs have been attempted to be cast upon our State by the rcmidiutors of Virginia, under the lead of the Kead justers, relative to the State debt of Vir ginia, and the portion of it they think, or say, our 8tate ought to assume. While we can afford to pass by slurs coming from this source without notice, we cannot af ford to ignore the proper sentiment of the countrv upon the question of payment of State debts. As I have said on previous I occasions, I now repeat, I am unqualifiedly | 111 favor of paying our just and equitable ; proportion of the debt of Virginia, nrior to 1863, whenever that proportion shaft be properly or legally determined. It is not j fair, either, to charge West Virginia with a disposition to shirk any responsibility in the rratter; she has always expressed her- j self in her Legislature, and in other public i ways, as willing to meet Virginia half-way in the settlement of the question. When West Virginia was admitted into the Union, her Constitution expressly pro vided for the payment of a Jn«t and Kqnltuble Proportion of this debt, and it was conceded at the time of her admiasion, that tWe bill would never have passed Congress but for this provision. It is not the fault of Weat \ ir ginia that her efforts in the direction of a just and equitable settlement of this matter have, ao far, resulted in failure. We an- | nounce to the world our willingnesa to do what is proper and right, and defy any one to say, truthfully, that the taint of repudia tion rests upon us. I neither own. nor have 1 any intercut in any bouds of Virginia, or j * bat is called West Virginia, or deferred certificates, and. when this matter is deter- j mined, will have to bear mv share of the burden of taxation, but I hope this ques tion may be met fairly and squarely by our people. It is now generally conceded that West Virginia. ujn>n a fair settlement, will owe but little, if anything, of this debt, and yet it is an unsettled account that ought to he adjaatcd, and I want it so adjusted that we need never hang onr beads in shame, when our financial record as a State is men tioned. Ballrawl*. The cry of "monopoly "' in on' State bw been calculated to prejudice the people against railroads. Wnila I do not approve of all that railroad corporations do, yet I believe raiiroada are necessary i to the proper 'P~ mcntof the State, and I am their frteod in their effort to open up an outlet for <ror great mineral resources and afYicnlmral productions. We are living in an age of rapid development. the world Is pushing on, and If we do not keep moving with it we will be left hehind. We mast bear in mind that we are living in the year 1S-2, and that the age of transportation by w g ona and stage coaches has passed aw. y. Weat Virginia is showing aigua of P"**"; ** in the bringing to light of her vast b ined treasures of minerals, and in a few yean the increase of her population, and c ibss qnent wealth and prosperity, will abow the wisdom of the encouragement she gives 10 capital and enterprise. The iron ore and cosl, without means of ira»sp«<rtation. are comparatively value le»»,but with a railroad they become valua ble. The enterprising men who are the ad* aace in building (railroads and de veloping the State are to be commended. M bat would West Virginia have been to day hot for the few railroads she now haa, especially the B. k 0 and C. A 0. Railroads and their branches? 1 do not want to be understood as favor ing taer*« Iiaftla»af rajart W*rt« laaltOM on the part of railr ad companies, hnt I am in favor of fair rs'w heing eaubliahed — Competition ia one of the best means to • bring this about. A county «-r town without a railrosd ia be hind the age f»f mors#, there are diacrim ioat:oos at limes abi«nt wh;ch the people ouoiplain, but a person bad as well try to do without rain or ranihine, bteiui the rain sometimes does great damage by war of »oads,vtnd Um rauWaetr (nniac ny the crops in a dry season, as to do with oat railroads, because they do wrong tome times. Every mile of new railroad built °P«» op so much newcountry to market and increases oar wealth to that exteat. Every new railroad completed tends to re duce rates by giving competition. Let as, then, enooarage every legitimat* enter prise to come within our borders, and when they do come let us encourage them to stay by encouraging friendly relations I with them as well as with those already here. Much of the increase of onr popula tion in the past ten years is owing to the few railway* we have, and with an incr«a*e of railroad facilities wv bare a great future before u*. Itpabllraa Male AMnm. A short time agb Mr. G. \V. Atkinson. Chan nun of the Jiepublloan State Uommrt te», and United States Marshal for this State, fesnea an-address to (lie voters of the State, some portions of which 1 will notica more at length before 1 finish. He starts off by saying: "The first Monday in October neit vou will be called upon to cast your ballots." &e. The State Constitution requires our elections to be held on the second Tueaday of October, which, this year, comas on the 10th. He nfxt refers to the right of petition, and says: "Not fewer tlian 40,000 of our fellow citizens petitioned for an amend ment tu the Constitution to prevent the manufacture and sale of liquors." In the first place no one opposes the right of peti tion. and in the second place I am creoihly informed tl>at the number was l'itAW, in stead of 40,000. He next refers to the re assessment of lands. This is just as important to the State as the census is to the United States every 10 years, and it teuds to eoualite taxation. Aa to Hla Jf«t Charge, I have already shown that tbe irreducible school fund has been greatly increased, and is now well protected, under Democratic rule. He then says: "We also charge that the Democratic party legislates in favor of capital as against labor." It is a conceded fact, (hat the tendencies of the Republican party is the encouragement of monopolies and concentration of labor. Next, as to bis charge of paper railroads. Without charters, of course, we could have no railroads, and if only one out of everv ten railroads chartered "is built, the 8late is that much better off. As to the new Senatorial district, as popu lation increases, the number of Represen tatives must also, and. therefore, it was necessary to have a new Senatorial district. Tbe K^DIitrirtlat mt the Ntate is next mentioned. The U. S. Constitution requires the State to be r*-districted after each censns, if it makes a change in the representation. Under the receut appor tionment bill we are given an additional number of Congress, and the state, conse quently, had to be re-distri<ted. I have expressed rnv views on the tariff question, snd can only add that all the parties substantially agree as to how our State should stand, ami that it ha-< no bear ing on the politics of the State whatever. Finally he says that they call upon the people, without reference to former politi cal affiliations, to cast their ballots for the Republican party and its measures This is in keeping with the Mahone, Ch timers, and Greenback compacts of their party. It will be noticed that Mr. Atkinson, of whom 1 think well personally, is the chair man who signs this address, lie is also an I'nited States officer, and is paid by the government for bis services. Prohibition. The question of the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of liquor is assuming considerable importance in this ami otiier States. While it does not enter, strictly speaking, into this campaign, yet it is a question which has been ami is now agi tating the people, and 1 believe a candid discussion of any question upon which peo ple differ is always beat. \\ ise men, good and great men, have for a long time and do now differ widely as to tbe proper policy to be pursused to counteract the evil of in temperence, and public opinion and the people must eventually decide the ques tion. In this connection, I will say, however, that 1 have always been an advueateof and a believer in, the right of the peoplr to pe tition. Wherever a respectable nuntlier of citizens ftsk for redress, their petitions -hould be given a respectable hearing, and if (hejeopleof this State desire that thii question miouIiI b>* submitted to them for their Consideration, I think (heir wishe» should he granted. For my part I am wil ling, ami I believe all the parties sri». that the people who see (he practical working* of tins question should net both a* judge and jury in (he matter, ami we should b»» perfectly content to abide by their deci sion. llr-A^rMIIII'Hl oll.NitO*. Our political opponents endeavor to make a |K>int on the reassessment of lands ordered by the last Legislature. and my it id done to mine more money to run the State government. hihI that it i* now in deht dome $200,000. As t<» the ro »*»Mi ment question, the answer is plain. We^t Virginia is a young and growing Suite, and as the recent census slio#s, it ha* made a more ra|»id average increase in population than the majority of Slate*. In some places the increase of value has been laru'e, while in others it may have depreciated, and the rate ought to •*> equalized. Where property has increased in value the taxes sliMiild b* raised in proportion, and where it ha" depreciated in value they should be redmi'd. This is only meting out exact justice to all, and complying with the I'on stitntton, which says taxation shall be «qui»! *nd uniform. As to the expenses it is but n cotnpsra <ively small nia'ter. There have been two re-assessments since 1WI, one in I166,m<de while the Republican* were in power, of which I h ve not the figures and cannot speak, the other in 1875. the coet ol which, exclusive of blanks and printing, was but $17,771.-W, while the aggregate inocease in value over the previous assessment was 112, 17«,120. The estimated coet of the present re assessment is $20,2A0. Competent and honest men, citizen* of the ritate, have been designated to discharge this duty, and I have no fear hut what they will act prop erly and conscientiously and return yonr property at only such a valuation a* fair ritis and justice would dictate. ' Mtale Krhnnl I'aa4. Murh l|*t l«een said about our having borrow*? some money from the a<ho<>i lurd to be Used for Htate purposes. Aa to that question, the old proverb of '"People who live in houses should never throw stones," is applicable. When the I'enjocrafs came into (tower in 1871, it waa found that the r»»j»orts of the outgoing Re publican official* did not agree, and Judge J. M. Jack»on. of Parkersburg, and myself, lis Chairman of the I'i nance Committees of the two House*, inveatigated the matter. We fonnd that tb"re was an actual deficit of the gent ral funds, on October l»t, IB70.of |!<2,&5V.16 of wiiicli there had been taken from the school fond*. fX* 'H. and the.re were of former appropriations remaining unpaid, 82. The principal difference that I can aeebe tween the two parties in this matter is that while the Itepublicans u>ok the money without iaw or authority from the school fund in 1870, paid no interest on it, and made no return for ft, and kept It enncea'ed until investigation brought it to light, the !»etnocrats, under authority of law. make public and pay in terest on the small amount they have nor rowed. lieyser Caaveatlee. I regret the Congressional Convention which met here (Keyser) a few days ainoa divided, and two r*ntlemcn were nomina ted or named for Conrrcae, either of whom would m»lte a worthy candidate and do honor to tbe State in Congress. The Klale Contention at Petersburg on Thursday last requested the iUt» E»em« tive Cod n ittee lo n»eei at 0r»fu*i M'*»day ueit to take into consideration tbe differ et c* a in this district.
