Settled al Lnst.

1t becomes our duty this morning to
announce that the movement to repeal
the location of the Capital at Charlie ston
has "gone where the woodbine twineth."
The House refused to allow Senate Bill
No. 60, the repeal bill, to be read
a second time, yesterday, and as
the session ends to day, it is too
late to mature the bill. This
is an emphatic settlement of the
question. Not only the seat of Gov
ernment, but its officers and parapher-
MALTA, its body, soul, boots and bree hes
will arise and go hence on the first day
of April next, and the place that now
knows it will know it no more foreuer.
Tenderly, if not tearfully, do we yield
a,7eut and "accept the situatioap Now
that the deed las been done, we cannot
find il in our hearts to withhold the
blessing. Take it, Charleston, take it.
Bless you, my child.
1t is needless, if not ungracious,
to enter into 'he why's and
wherefores of this result. The re-
ported votes will show the comb
nations that brought it about. Charles
ton and PArkersburg united, with few
members from the eastern part of the
State who were bent on consulting the
convenience of their constituents, did
the business. 1t is interesting to note
the reconciliation that took place b.
tween Parkersburg and Charleston.
since the latter went back on the for
mer so squarely the other day. After
this display of an enlarged charity
by Parkersburg, Charleston should
hold herself ready to do the
handsome in return, and whether
in State Convention or in the Legisla
ture, she should remember, and, if posi-,
bic, have ratified, the terms of reunion
that for all time, we trust, will bind
these kindred souls in one.
There were some rumors on the street
last night of an extension of the session.
This, we think, should not he enter
tanned. The Legislature has been in
session long enough. If its gular
business has not been completed there is
no assurance that an extension would
mend the matter. This Capital ques
ton would simply be re.opened, with o
view to locating at some other point
than Charleston. AS some OF the friends
of an extension have bean voting
against taking the Capital from Charles
tor, unless they could secure it for
themselves, we favor allowing them the
full benefit of their votes. This Capital
question has cost enough of time,
money and patience already. Let the
matter rest for the present, and if the
people don't like Charleston they can
e,ect men who will take the Capital
away hereafter, Not any extended ses-
sion, if you please. .

Curious Geological Formation.

1t is stated by one of Que foreign ex-
changes that near the city of Medina, in
Italy, and about four mics around it,
wherever the earth is dug, when the
workmen arrived at distance of sixty
three feet, they come to bed Uf chalk,
which they bore with an sugur, five
feet deep. They then withdraw from
the pit before the augur is remove and
upon its extraction the water bursts up
through the aperture with great vio.
lencs, and quickly fills the newly made
well, which continues full, and is effect
ed by neither rains nor drought. But
what is most remarkable 10 this opera
tion is the layers of earth as they de-
scend. At the depth of fourteen feet
are found the ruins of an ancient city,
paved streets, houses doors, and differ
ant pieces of mason work. Under this
is found soft, oozy earth, made up of
vegetables, and, at twent six feet, large
trees entire, such as walnut trees, with
the walnut still stuck to the stem, and
the leaves and branches in a perfect
state of preservation. At twenty-eight
feet deep, soft chalk is found, mixed
with vast quantity of shells, and the
bed is eleven feet thick. Under this
vegetable are found again.

LINES ON A sKELRTON.

Some forty years ago the following poem
was published in the London Morning Chronicle
Every effort was vainly made to discover tht
author, even TO the offering of reward Of nifty
guineas. All that ever transpired was that the
poem written in plain hand was found near
skeleton of remarkable symmetry of form II
the Museum of the Royal College Of Surgeons
Lincoln's Inn, London, and the Curator of th'
Museum sent it TO the Morning Chronicls.
Behold this ruin twas a skull.
once Of the ethereal spirit full;
This narrow cell was lifes retreat
This space was thoughts mysterious seat.
What boauteous visions Allied this spot
What dreams of pleasure long forgot
Nor hope, nor Joy, nor love, nor fear,
Have Len one trace of record here.
Beneath this moulderipg canopy
Once shown the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void;
If social love that eve employed
If with no law.ess fire il cleaned,
But through the dews OF kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue;
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And, when IL could not praise, was cha!nedi
If bold in virtues cause 1t spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the minef
Or with the envied rubies sbinei
To bew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to then,
But if the page of truth they sought
Or comfort 10 the mourner brought,
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails 1t whether bare or shod,
These feet the path of duty trod
if from the bowers of ease they fed
To seek Affections humble shed;
If grandeurs guilty bribo they spurned,
And home 10 virtues cot returned,
These feat with angels wings shall vie
And tread the palace Of the sky.

Prize fighting should be prevented,
but when Senator Wilson introduces q
bill in the Senate for that purpose, we
doubt its policy. He proposes to im-
prison offending pugilists not less than
two years and TO fine them not less than
three thousand dollars, and to intlict
one half of these penalties upon sec
ouds and surgeons. These matters
should be attended to by the States in
which they occur. Maryland prevents
prize fighting in her borders, and the
other States can do the same.

"Bouds at Pnro-The Triumph OF
Grants Administration.

Some of the Radical papers are re-
ioiciug over the fact that the Admins
tration of Grant has raised United
States bonds to par in gold. Now, let
us SEQ who has cause for jubilatlon-the
privileged few or the tax-paying many.
Iu 1868 Mr.. A., bondholder, lent the
Government $4,000 in greenbacks,
when they were worth forty cents on a
dollar in gold. The Government gave
him its bond for that amount, with the
interest at six per cent, payable iu
gold. Reduced 10 a gold standard,
upon every forty dollars lent there was
six dollars paid-that is, fifteen dollars
a hundred. AS there was but $4,000 in
the loan, it would be $500 year
upon the entire amount. In seven
years, from 1868 to 1870, that interest is
equal to $4,000. Thus Mr.. A. has al
ready received in interest from the Gov
ernment $500 more in gold than he
loaned to it. But this does not tell the
whole story. His $4,000 has been ex-
empt from the two per cent State and
local taxation. That is $50 a year, or
$3.50 in seven years. This, added to the
$500, makes 500 surplus over that
which went out of his hands. He
has not, therefore, been very badly
used. He has got his principal
back, with nearly twenty per
cent. in addition. Bat still he has not
been paid. It. is proposed to pay
him the face of his bond in gresnbacks
when they were worth, not forty cents,
which was the bargain when he loaned
them, but eighty cents on dollar. He
refuses to take it, and the Grant Admin.
istratioD, hearkening to him, employs
its whole force to bring his bond at par
with gold. Thss, if it were to be paid
now, the account would stand:
