SPKCJ AL SESSION While The Intelligencer could not .-?>? the necessity ur the propriety for calling (he Legislature in ?xtraordiuaiy s"?sion. now that, it has been called it regrets to see the on!} object which would ha\e justified the extra, session ^Jieglected. It is much more important to the people of i he State to have the ?barges of fraud and corruption at the recent election investigated than 10 ^nke measure^ to keep a few appointive officers from being removed. There are but. three days left of (he. >e>.sion, and i; is entirely possible in Mthat time to provide for art effective commission wiih sufficient powers io Hmake a thorough investigation into the charges that, have been made. I.'nios.s ?that is done tiie very grave imputations cast, upon the integrity of the ballot ? in. the several counties specified will remain to cloud 'the honesty of the conduct I of the elections held there. $o far as the people of the northern pan nf the State are concerned, for several years past the conviction has grown that the elections in Mariou County have not been conducted according t<> law. Whether these charges have been true The Intelligencer does not undertake to say, but they are of a character to entitle them to a searching inquiry. As to the recent election the. charges ot" corruption ami illegal methods in Marion county are more specific than they have ever been, and if they are not subjected to a thorough probe . the special session will have evaded a plain I duiy. There is yet time to provide for this investigation, and it should be done in the name of simple justice and the purity of elections in the future. OHIO RIVER IMPROVEMENT ? Hon. B. W.

Naylor lived, and li? 'eaves a r:cii legacy to those who were most en deared to Mut. for uvf-r twill a i tury he has been identified with uie .'business and commercial interests ut - Wheeling. His beginning was mod est, but by industry and honesty he built up one of the most successful | establishments, which survives him BuE Mr. Naylor in his busy life found time to devote himself to the ser vice of humanity in a modest and un obtrusive -way; and although the light of 'pvfolicity never flashed upon the.-.* s acts they were nevertheless marked > in contributing to the elevation of the brotherhood of man. Any man who adds to human happiness has builded wisely for the future. Any citizen who ' has dwelt with us as long and con structively as Mr. Naylor haves not a void in going but an inspiration for the cultivation of tti?- forces of ehttr -? sfr?er which so i!t-t!ti<?j! -h'-d him, ;t life that has ><> eloquently expressed the .Solomonic wisdom that "a .uood name is rather so be choj-en than great riches." Mr. Naylor was of a sunny disposi tion. His outlook was philosophical and submissive to the ordered paths he trod, whether illumined !>y sun shine or darkened by cloud. Assoeia tion with hint sweetened much of the bitterness of the workaday wtarlness of his acquaintances. And as he dis pelled the gloomy shadows here there must be endless licit; for him now.

A minoritj <U pugnacious articles in Kngli.-b maga zines. industriously circulated i" cl?-r many by the War I 'arty before the war, must haw fomented this delusion, and may still seem to have justified the theory of an essentially unpro voked and premeditated attack. Aided h> these, and by tirai determination, a harp million and a half of the Prus sian warty party have bestridden the whole Herman empire, and so Ion* a.s i hey are successful, they will continue to impose their ideals and their pol icy upon nearly i he whole of that docile and well drilled nation. Noth ing will convince tin; Herman popu lace of its dire mistake ill blindly fol lowing so vicious a lead,- nothing ex cept and disaster. As soon as they admit defeat, ami in token thereof definitely throw off the malign influ ence of the whole governing Prussian war part>. who are now in ihe saddle and wish to ride mankind, wo will list' ti 10 considerations of peace. Till then, we will tight; and (he less we talk publicly about what we will do after liie war the better. We need mil be personally hostile io an inui -. idii.il who is. th>- figure-bead of the cigautic conspiracy against humanity,! and who very likely has been help I ess I y carried along by the tide, though as tigiire-head he j* bound to bear! responsibility. We certainly need not be for ever hostile to the mistaken find misled Herman people, when they have recovered from their temporary , mania, and whn they have by acts admitted the error of their ways. We *hall have to make peace vuih thei Herman nation some day; and threats I against their future prosperity only j play into the hands or the war party, who industriously circulate such' threats in order to rivet allegiance,: a nrl for the purpose of stimulating an- J other war loan. That sort of thing i will end in time, if we retain unswerv ing i ho bull-dog scrip which we have now at length uoi upon their unfor tunate and hapless victims of the rank! a 11 (1 tile.

You cannot make p< are till you have1 | some one trustworthy to make peace ; with, or until you are able to lake del' ? init.n security ih.it lite tenths will be adhered to Treatise;* and promises in the present. ease are useless. They have appealed to foroe: Force is what. , they shall have! A firm contplusi"n. !io which they are well accustomed, j i and. so far as the people are eon- 1 icerned, a friendly compulsion too,; | which will result, in their best and | nichest ? interests, is what wo shall i ; have to offer ibeni. i'or after all a ! cowed and poverty-stricken neighbour j (is no asset to any one. Mutual peace- 1 ? ful prosperity is a benefit, all round. j We shall have dealings with them again some day upon peaceful lines, and the dealings will not. in fact be I very long delayed. Why pretend t bat. < j t hey will be? No use cutting off our) ; nose lo spite our lace, is a proverb j which we shall lind applicable after the war. We may tax ourselves 'against their goods if we want to. ;we probably shall, ? because people who demand special Herman goods in [any given department ? the creditable result of German science and indus try can quite well afford to pay morel for the luxury, until, by proper cult.i-j 'vation of British applied science, our! own become equally good: but there' is nothing hostile in a detail such as that, and it injures their future pros- 1 perity no whit. Such a policy is com mon to all nations, so far as they' , think it wise. But a complete boycott' is out of the question; and threats in this direction, which will never he. carried out. are only mischievous, i They tend to prolong the war. \Ve shall leave ail that to be settled when th". war is ended ? for truly in a few' years afterwards it will settle itself: , hold out friendly hopes for the future i of the German people when they have, cast, off their present rulers anrlj emerged from their delusions, and j meanwhile fight strenuously on. j the bureau licus now formulated a code j which it is I' ll should be in the hands (nl every. responsible official :ii h mine, i'lliis code provides tor ;m organisation jat i*iu-li mine thai would become au I tomatically active the moment the -o j is a disjuuer. I: also gives a list of the necessary materials jo have on 'hand at. all times and outlines t ho jmost important duties for these organ izations during such emergencies. The manual furnished is intended 'in define the dtit ies of the rescuers and 10 bring about a better undt r : standing between 'In: men engaged in r?!?i'ue work as to the functions of 1 1: ? ? ; lUireau of Mines. It gives the oper ators, superintendents and oilier of ! ficiais of the mines some idea of the I I I: a raster of organization that should ! be normally in force at a mine every j J day it is working, and explains how j j th is organizat ion may be turned into ; ] an ifl'-'-iive rescu*' fon*v when a nis-!
