Debalr on The Capital QuesIisn.


Qnite warm debate was had upon
the Capital question, in tas House of
Delegates on yesterday, Early in the
discussion, Nr. GoFF, of Harrison al
luded, in the plainest terms, to the i'm
proper influences that had been brought
~ bear to induce members to vote in
the Buckhannon interest. He referred
particularly to threats made by friends
Of that place, that no appropriations
should be voted to carry Oh the Asy-
lum and Penitentiary if the members
from Marshall and Lewis adhered to
their opposition to Buckhannou. He
also mentioned the attempt to bribe
another member with Congressional
nomination, also on behalf of Buckh han
non.
After dwelling upon the nature and
tendency of such influences, he con-
cluded, aud was followed by Messrs.
FERGUSON and NEwLIN, who disclaimed
any knowledge of the efforts made in
the direction indicated. 1t is to be
noted, however, that the proposition to
the latter of these gentlemen to call for
committee of investigation was not
acceded TO. Indeed, such committee
seemed TO ke needless, for Mr.. ARM
STRONG, of Marshall, and Mr.. WoOp-
L"ED, of Lewis, stated that they had
each been assured that the appropria-
tons desired for the Peuitentiary and
Asylum in their respective counties
would be defeated unless they support
ed Buckhannnon. 1t Was also under
stood that another member stood ready
TO verify the charge OF attempt to bribe
with Congressional nomination in the
Second District. How many purchases
had actually been made did not trans
pire. The House only got a glimpse of
some that had been unsuccessfully at.
tcmpted.
The member frsR Upshur having
charged that the "dislOyaity" of the
State stood opposed to Buckhannon,
his charge was Indignantly repelled by
Aessrs, TUMLINsoS, of Mason, CHASE,
Of Putnam, and PARKER, of Ohio,
speaking for their various counties.
The remarks OF Mr.. PARKER were es-
pecially forcible and dignifed. We
We're unable to hear Mr.. BLAIR's speech
throughout, but learned that it appealed
strongly TO the House to abandon an
lmpracticable point, and harmonic
upon some place which could receive
general support. Even if Buckhannon
were chosen it would be by a
majority so small as to give no assur.

Hon. WILLIAM G. BEOwN, of Preston,

The Convention was decided sue

est harmony prevailing. It was in
every way highly satisfactory to those
who were Instrumental in its conven-

the first instance for years that the OPP
