In addition to the largely increas-

couraging to note its rapid growth
in business, residence, and manufac-

number of small business houses, and
substantial residences going up all
over the city. This fiatMring growth,
and the gradual butsure appreciation
ofreal estate in both town and coun-
ty, and the demonstrated certainty
that our North and South Road is in
a sound condition, and is tobe ear
" completed to this city, together
with the most abundant promise Of
full crops, gives the outlook, and
present and prospective situation a
satisfactory appearance. When We
add to this the certainty Of tho clecs
ton Of Grant and Colfax, giving the
country that financial and political
peace and quiet it has sought in vain
under the last three years of Andrew
Johnson's usurpation, we may be
justified in anticipating an era Of
unparalleled prosperity in the imme-
date future, not witnessed by the

Hard on Borens ~ N.

We congratulate the House of Dele
gates upon its resolution of yesterday
calling OH the Governor to make a re-
port OF his disposition of the "Ctvil
Contingent Fund" This recognition of
the right of the people to know where
their money goes, is at once unexpected
and gratifying. The House has dis
charged duty, which has been TOO long
ignored.
At the same time, it has done no
more than its duty, and this only under
the pressure of necessity. The mem-
hers of this Legislature dared not TO go
home without making, at least show
of investigating some of the causes Of
complaint that have been so often al
legged against our State Government.
When the REGISTER made the first call
for this report, there was little pros
pect of its being needed. But that call
has been repeated from time to
time, echoed from mouth To mouth,
until it has become the expression of
public opinion, aud the House of Dele
gates has nov not only confessed the
authority of that opinion, but it has
virtually admitted the accuracy .f a So
called "Coppcrhead" journal in inter
preting the sentiments of the people.
Had the compliment been voluntary,
We should have made the grateful ac-
Acknowledgements which We here omit.
The implication of the resolution con-
cerning Governor FOREMAN is apparent
and awkward. His report is respect
fully requested" as if the subject were
so delicate as to need PREDATORY apOl-
Ogy, or his conduct in the matter of a
character TO warrant any other than a
respectful request" His side of the
case we do not propose to argue. The
Housed seems. to have prejudged him
on abundant suspicioa, and unless some
whitewashing transpires We shall not
obtrusively interfere between them.

road yet to be built. One thug
is certain; Enterprise and cap
ital will no more deviate from
natural routes to build railroads for
the especial accommodation of the West
Virginia Legislature, than they would
make similar deviation to reach an &C.
clcsiastical conference or a political
convention. On the other hand, if any
point now isolated, lies upon the natu-
raj course of future and necessary line
Of communication, its friends lose moth
ing by deferring action. Their theories
OF to day, if true, will be facts in ten
years, and their railroad argument will
lose no force by being transferred from
paper to take the shape of line actual
ly constructed.
Again, it is clear that the people are
utterly opposed to any location, any
where, if accomplished by the bargain,
barter, log rolling process. We have
now in course of completion, two large
public enterprises, the Penitentiary aud
the Asylum, both of the highest impor-
tance. appropriations for these in
situations are 10 be defeated unless their
friends vote to locate the Capital at
this OF that point, the people can
not sanction any such legislation.
If Delegates are to be approached with
promises of personal preferment, such
as Congressional nominations and the
like, the people will be glad to hear that
such bids caR't buy votes. And in gen.
eral,, any argument, in the shape OF
bride or threat, to induce men 10 vote
contrary to their convictions is certain
to be condemned by tho popular voice
To avoid all possible errors, we urge
that the Legislature accept at once the
proposition of the city of Wheeling
Such acceptance will enable o future
Legislature to make a selection of un-
doubted propriety, when the entire re-
sources of West Virginia shall have
been developed. 1t will be justifable
as a measure of economy, now so i'm
portant, and it will defeat all possible
schemes and combinations for sacri-
fcing or jeoparding public interests
for individual or local advantage.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, (Rad.) relates
the following incident connected with
the surrender of Grant to Stanton:
The President said, in conversation
on Saturday, that he would give ten
thousand dollars out of his own pocket
if the American people could have seen
General Grant at the Cabinet meeting
on Friday, while questions were being
put to him about his action in the STAN
ton matter. He never saw man look
meaner or more humiliated. ''He is not
q big man. said johnson, "either men
tally, morally, or physically; but before
he had answered the questions we put
to him, he seemed to have shrivelled up
into no bigger than my fist"
