!w 1t is the opinion of some the
ablest lawyers of West Virginia that
the bill locating the Capitol of that
State at Charleston, is unrepealable.
The Constitution provides that "the
seat of government shall be at the city
of Wheeling until a permanent seat of
government shall be established by
law" Under this provision of the
Constitution, it is claimed that the
seat of government, when once fixed by
law, as it has been in this case, it can
not be changed or removed. The
opinion seems founded in law and JUS
tice. In view OF this Interpretation the
Kanawha Journal says: "Therefore, it
is safe to conclude, Charl eston is the
permanent Capitol of West Virginia"

The HARVARD OXFORD Boar RACE
Well, America was fairly beaten, in the
late rowing match upon the Thames Of four
and IA half miles, by three lengths or six
seconds. 1t is gratifying to know that the
utmost courtesy was observed on both
sides. The American crew drew up along.
side Of their competitors. after the race,
and gave them three cheers, which the lat
ter acknowledged by uncovering their
heads. The treatment of the Americans
abroad was all that courtesy and generos
ity could have dictated, Their passage
out was free; their boat was also conveyed
free, and every care taken for its safe de-
livery. AT Liverpool they were conveyed
to first class hotel, from thence to Lon
don in special car, and quartercd upon
the Thames, all without charge. This
was noble treatment from their English
competitors, and deserves our highest ad-
miration. Another trial, the next time
upon American waters, is now demanded,
and the gallant Oxonians will not be slow
to aceede to the demand, and a like cour-
tesy and generosity will be accorded here
to thom. A New York journal says that
any sum will bo instantly subscribed in
that city, to defray expenses. But Har-
ward will take care of that matter itself,
The contest was so close as to make every
one anxious for new trial, and until that
second match takes place, victory cannot be
said to rest permanently upon the winners.

SPAIN AND CUBA.-Letters from Madrid
state that the proposition for the sale of
Cuba for the sum of 500, ,000, 200, is not
received with marks Of approval in Spain.
Although the treasury is suffering from
want Of funds, yet the people are determinA
ed to retain the Island of CHba, the cry
being send sll the army, all the navy, and
all the militia, and let the peninsula be de-
Tended by the women. Amy political par
ty that proposes the sale of Cuba, II il as
serted, will lose power, as the measure sf--
fects the honor and the national pride # the,
people. The neswpapers are DOW discuss
in the rebellion in the colonies, and Ger.
eral Prim's organ, in an article entitled
81 a Question de Cuba" argues that tie
proposition for the enfranchisment of the
island, for the sum of one hundred millions
of dollars guaranteed by the United States,
is too arrogant to be considered. The
course of foreign Journals in commenting
upon this plan, is characterized as "bare-
faced insolence," and certain home aues-
tions are asked, such as what would the
United States have thought if Spain had
offered to mediate in the rebellion of the
oOutH, anu WndJ NIdHce WUulu say 10 q
proposition to buy Algeria, OF England TO
a proposition to buy Ireland. The same
naughty answers which these powers would
have made, it is contended, should be re-
turned to the nations of Europe and Amer
ica. The article continues: "We say thew
have no right to interfere in our affairs;
we do not want their interference, and We
will not have it." The honor of Spain,
it is alleged is at stake, and such propo-
sitions are an insult, no matter from what
quarter they may come. When America
was plunged in civil war, Spain, though
requested by France to interfere, forhore
to do so, and maintained her neutrality,
prohibiting her ports to the Sumter Du.
ring the rebellion of the Southern States,
Spain did all that lay in her power towards
preserving her neutrality, and she asks no
more from America. AS Spain was for
bearing, so is the honorable forbearance
of the United States now required. The
Democratic journals in Spain demand from
the regency full and truthful accounts of
the position of affairs and asserting that in
September 20, 900 troops will be sent to.
Cuba to join the $4,000 Spanish soldiers
and volunteers now on the island, contend
that unless greater vigor be displayed the
prospect of conqpering Cuba is hopeless.

EXTRAORDINARY SELF-IMMoLArIoN.-
The following statement appears in the
Pail Mall Gazette:
"All the extraordinary proceedings of
the many fanatical sects whose rapid in
crease has excited SO much anxiety in Rus
sia are fairly thrown in the shade by a
terrible act of self-immolation which is re
ported from the government of Saratow.
~ few months ago the prophets of new
religion made their appearance in that part
of the empire, preaching self-destruction
by fire as the oply sure road to salvation,
and so readily was their dreadful doctrine
received by the ignorant and supersti-
tious peasantry that in one large village
no less than seventeen kundYed persons as
sembled in some wooden houses, and, hav-
ing barricaded the doors and windows, set
the building on fire, and persisted in the
flames. The authorities are doing all they
can to stay the progress of this new mad
ness, but their task is obviously difficult
one. The punishments which the law can
inHiet must have little terror for enthus
asts who deliberately choose death so
horrible as tue true road to Heaven"
