THE VIRGINIA PANHANDLE.

The CT liens of Wellsburg, virgiuia, are hold
ing meetings for the purpose of considering WAYS
aud means, to have what is called the Pan ham
de- that is the strip Of Virginia territory running
up between Pennsylvania and the Ohio river,
annexed to our State. 1t appears that no. only
the towns people OF Wellsburg. but very large
majority of the inhabitants of Brooke county,
would hail such n transfer of their allegiance
with pleasure. 1t would certainly be very desi-
rable if this change could be made. Virginia
would lose but little, if anything, by it: while
Pennsylvania would be- greatly benefited. The
strip effectualy shuts out the Keystone State
from the Ohio river, for distance of hundred
miles along the western frontier. 1t is this mar
row peninsula which has created all the trouble
respecting the Hempfeld and Steubenville rail-,
roads. In its widest part it is not twenty miles
across, and its narrowest scarcely five. The four
Virginia counties which it embraces, Hancock,
Brooke, Ohio and Marshall do not, either in area
or in population, contain much as an ordinary
county elsewhere. In manners feelings and
ideas the inhabitants are quite much Pennsyl.
vanians as they are Virginians, with the excep-
ton, perhaps, of the citizens Of Wheelins. and
these the Hempfeld road will gradually bring
over. -
1t would certainly be very desirable to have
this bit of territory annexed to Pennsylvania.
But at first sight the project appears impossbl L..
tants, repeated for a number of years, and backed
by the proper offers to Virginia on the part of
our own State, may do, remains yet to be seen,
however. 1t is our maxim that whatever is
worth having at all, is worth an effort to obtain.
We are not of the number, therefore, who would
dismiss this project with sheer, as being too
Quixotc to enter the brains of sensible men,
The territory would be of such value to Pennsyi.
vania and is comparatively so little advantae eous
to Virg ina, that do not think the latter State,
consideration. would be altogether adverse to
the transfer. There would be some State perils
to overcome. and perhaps other adverse influences,
but if the Inhabitants of tie four counties in
question should continue favorable to change,
and if Pennsylvania would make liberal offer
for the concession, it would be so clearly the
policy of Virginia to sell that we believe she
would, in time, come to an accommodation. The
negotiation would have to be conducted however,
in the most fraternaI and liberal spirit. If any
reader, not familiar with that section of the
Union. doubts the advantages of the desired
change, let him look at the map, when he will
agree with us, we think, that no rational price
would be too much for US to pay for the cesson
of the strip.-PhiI. Bulletin.

MAYORS COURT, April 4.

INSULTING FEMALEs.-A white man who
gave his name as Joseph Dettor, was arraigned
upon the charge of insulting Bridget McDonough
ana Anna Grogan, Sunday evening about
O'clock on the South side of the Basin. Tho
women it seems were walking together in the
street when insuted by Dettor. He stated to.
the watchmen. shortly after falling into their
hands, that he was Methodist Preacher, from
Albemare, and was therefore a man of respee.-
liability; but the plea did not serve to save his
sacred person from the rough handling of the,
police Indeed, the parson narrowly escaped
terrible mauing at the hands of the husband
of one of the danes he so grossly and so uncere-
moniously insuted. As soon as he offered the
insult, one of the women screamed aloud; her
husband, who happened to be near. ran to her
assistance. seized the parson soon as he learned
the nature of the offence he had committed,
and like the elder Mr. Weller, .gave him one or
two," and was preparing to give him more, when
the watchmen interposed and saved the sacred
person # the parson from farther indiguity and
damage. The watchmen carried him to the cage,
where he succeeded in obtaining security for his
appearance at Court, and was released. One of
the witnesses stated that the parson gave a
Waterman 81 to go for man named Fleschmau,
who became his surety. Alderman Evans held
the offender to bail in the sum of 5000, which
be readily gave, and left the Court
COMMONWEALTH VS.. r. E. ALLEN.--The &C
cused, who stands charged with assaultiug man
named Collins in lot on First street, on the
night of the 9th ult. appeared to answer. DIR.
Snead testified as to the condition of the wounded
man He regarded the symptoms as more favor
able and entertained hopes of the ultimate recove
ryof the patient. As his condition, however, is
still critical, Alderman Evans continued tie case
until Monday. the 18th inst, admitting the &C.
oused to bail in the of $4,000.
HEAVY HAUL.-Officers Wheat johnson and
Tyler made descent upon a grocery store GU
18th street, South of Cary street, kept by man
named James Fielding, Sunday evening, and
succeeded in capturing negroes congrega-
ted therein. They we're locked upfo the night,
and on being brought before Alderman Evans this
morning. were each ordered to be appropriately
punished.

On Saturday last, negotiable note for the
sum o. 1900 purporting to have been drawn by
Messrs. Hart &c Moses in favor Of Mr.. Thomas
r. Price, aud endorsed by that gentleman, but
made payable to VIM. H. Owney, was placed in
the disc cunt box of the Bank of Virginia, for the

discount. As the signatures of the drawers and
endorser were clumsily executed, and as the

heads, who, if they could succeed in driving out
such men, would upon cooler reflection be the
first to WOO them back.
