bill to the Senate and was appointed to
do 80.
On motions OF Mr.. Howes, the Senate
Joint resolution ordering an investiga-
McFadden, Superintendent OF the PEN
itentiary, was taken up and agreed to.
Under this resolution the Speaker
appointed the committee of inVestiKa-
tion on the part OF the House as fol-
lows: Messrs. Carroll, Howes and
Jacob, of Hampshire.
Mr.. Mann, rising to question OF
privilege desired to say in regard to
the strain of remark that had been
INDUCED in, i'll regard to stealing
from members, that he had been one OF
the victims of the robbery referred to-,
and had lost more heavily than any of
them; yet he had been in Wheeling a
good portion of his time for the last
four or five years, and never had suf-
fered from any similar depreciation be-
fore. And now he had no right to sup
pose the thief was a resident OF Wheel
ing, but was on the contrary a straggler
from another place. He did not want
1t to be supposed he had any co complaint
to make OF the citizens of Wheeling on
this score.
Mr.. Carpenter, OF Greenbrier, rose to
disavow the sentiments which had been
expressed here to-day. He endorsed
no such charges as had been made
against the citizens of Wheeling. He
had been treated here kindly and hon
against the people Of Wheeling, and he
wanted ii distinctly understood his
vote had been influenced by no such
appeals. If anything would have
changed his vote 1t was the character OF
argument that had been indulged In
here this morning. He regarded the
people OF Wheeling as genteel, hon
orable and Intelligent community, lib
eral enough in their political views to
allow every one his own opinion.
Mr.. Flick said that in the heat OF
discussion he might have said things
which he ought not to have said. He
had no charges against the people of
Wheeling. What he said was more in
n jocose way than anything else.
The House adjourned.

PEANUTs.-It is understood that
Scott, the peanut vender, takes as very
unkind the remarks made by Mr..
Smith, of Morgan, in the House yester-
day, on the subject of peanuts. Scott
thinks they were designed to iDjure his
business, and were meant to he per-
sonal. He says it is not the practice
among peanut merchants to give away
their goods; nor to trust where the
credit of the party is not a No. l; and
as he has had no legislative axes to
grind, he has not felt called on to make
any donations to the member from Nor.
gan. In the event, however, the negro
suffrage amendment comes before the
House for ratification, Scott says he is
prepared to come down with the pea
nuts. Desiring to see that measure
ratified, we give this timely notice in
the hope Of securing for it the support
of the member from Morgan.
