Virginia and West Virginia.

Massrs. RopERTsoS, SuTHEKLIS, aud
aryrrT. our commissioners for the adjust
= ment of tho State debt with West Virginia,
returned on Saturday, the Legislature OF
West Virginia having, few hours before
adjournins sine die, passed joint resolu'
ton authorizing Governor STEVENSON to
anposnt three commissioners on behalf OF
West Virginia. One of these commission
crs is to DO appointed from each OF the con-
sressicnal districts Of that State, and the
names Of these commissioners have not YET
been announced. 1.-THE names we gave on
Saturday we're those of the joint committee
of the two Houses of the General Assem-
bly.l :.
Iron the first arrival of our commits
sioners at Wheeling there was some dispo'
si,ion manifested to postpone all action
until the deeieion of the Supreme Court
and the dismissal by Virginia of the sui
for the recovery of tho counties of Jeffer
son and Berkeley, and Of this policy MIR
CHARLES JAMES FAULKNER was strenuous
advocate. An amendment to such effec
was adopted in tho Senate Ito the House
bill for the appointment Of commissioners
but upon the House of Delegates refusing
to concur, the Senate amendment was with
drawn, and the joint resolution, Whicf
originated in the House, was adopted.
There was much unanimity in the ina
action of the Legislature in the passage OF
the resolution for the appointment OF the
commissioners, and it passed the House OF
Delegates by vote of 40 to 8, and in the
Senate by handsome majority.
During their weeks sojourn in Wheeling
our commissioners were treated with great
respect and kindness by the Governor and
Legislature, as we'll as by the press and the
citizens of Wheeling, and were most favor
ably impressed by the intelligence and
courtesy of tho officials with whom they
we're brought in contact.
Our old friend Governor PE1Rro1NT, who
is now q leading Radical member OF the
House of Delegates, far from throwing OBJ
stacles in the way of the commissioners,
rendered them valuable and most impor-
tant assistance, and advocated the joint
commission in o very good speech. The
FIRST meeting of the joint commission will
probably be held in this city, and steps will
then be taken for the commencement OF
what will necessarily prove long, impor-
tant, and most laborious work.

oo,,no..e and Ohio Railroad.

| Wa nnblish this morning the aufei'ios
mont If Messrs. FISH s HATCH OF slo,ooo,.
900 of a thirty year first mortgage loan o.
tho cbesapeakc and Ohio Railroad Com
many protected by the pledge of their en-
tire road, property, franchises &c. through
from Richmond to the Ohio river. The
mortgage will cover the entire obligations
of the company, whose outstanding IN
debtedness consists Of only sl,68s,757 IN
miscellaneous bonds upon portions OF the
old Virginia Central railroad, now merged
in the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and
small obligation to the State of Virginia,
| for the payment of which provision has
already been made in Virginia State
bonds. The outstanding bonds Of the
Virginia Central railroad will be provided
for by reservation of 100000 of the
first mortgage loan of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Company, and Of the remaining sl3,-
100000 of the mortgage the company will
sell only an amount sufficient to complete
the road to the Ohio river, perfect and i'm
prove the portion now in operation, and
thoroughly equip the whole for the large,
! active, and very lucrative traffic which may
be confidently looked for as the inevitable
consequence of the opening of this import
ant trunk line of communication between the
seaboard of Virginia and the Ohio river.
| The bonds of the loan are of the denomi-
| nation of 1000, $500, and 500, respect
lively, and are issued in three different
forms /. Coupon bonds payableto bearer
2. Registered bonds with coupons attached ;
and 8. Registered bonds with coupons de-
tached which forms are explained in the
prospectus Of the loan, which appears
in another part of this paper. Both
principal and interest of the loan are made
payable expressly in gold coin in the city
of New York. The bonds yield interest at
the rate of six per cent. per annum in gold.
They are offered for the present at ninety
per cent. and accrued interest in currency
from November l, 1869. Secured as the
loan is by an absolute lien on the entire
line of railroad from Richmond to the Ohio
river, with its equipment and all other pro-
perty, and by the additional guarantees
afforded by the eminently responsible
board of management and financial agency
Of the company,-including the names OF
some of the most successful business men,
bankers, and railroad builders, in the Uni
ted States-the first mortgage bonds of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company
can be commended as constituting first
class, reliable, and profitable, form Of in
vestment.
These bonds are for sale in this city by
Messrs. CHARLES T. WoRTHAN s Co., over
the First National Bank. The capitalist,
in our opinion, can make no better invest
ment in the obligations of any corporation
then in these bonds of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company.

The Ta9licher Anzeiger of Saturday has
an editorial on the subject of the report
which the House Committee on Printing
made on Friday against publishing the acts
of Assembly in that journal. The phrase
" class Legislation used by the committee
was unfortunately employed, but was meant
merely to imply that in Virginia the laws
are not even published by authority in the
papers printed in English-thaf ia, they
are now not published at the expense of the
State for the benefit of any "class." If
the State were to pay the papers printed in
English for publishing the laws, it would
also, no doubt, pay the only German paper
in Virginia for the same service. But
surely our German fellow-citizens do not
expect the Legislature to do for them what
it has never done for the natives. The
Germans of Richmond are as class very
intelligent; almost every man Of them can
read the English language readily, and
many Of them can write it with elegance.

Governor Baker.

L. R., the Indianapolis correspon-
dent Of the Cincinnati Commercial, IN
a late letter, thus photographs his
Excellency, the Governor of Indiana.
Will the Governor and his friends
recognize the picture?
Among men Governor Baker is not
demonstrative, and In society he is
particular ly tacituru, but when a SER
vice can be rendered he may be relied
upon. Being industrious, nay plod-
ding, he aecomplishes a vast amount
of work, and stands fairer than most
of our brilliant men. In short, he Is
a quiet, reticent, Industrious man of
steady habits and firm principles. tie
is a faithful member of the Presby-
terian church.
Governor Baker is reserved in man
ner. but his voice is smooth and clear,
and he speaks promptly and 20 the
purpose when need be. In person he
is of medium height, and rather stout
than otherwise. His head is la rye
and thickly covered with a profusion
of auburn hair, shade darker than
the tawny mustache and beard. His
eyes are hazel, clear, large and full
and very expressive. 1t is altogether
a good, trustworthy face.
Governor Baker does not resem'
bic President Grant a particle. but il
would be easy to believe he sat fol
the portrait which headed the las
Presidential campaign. Governor
Baker has expressed the intention Of
retiring to private life at the close O
his official term. There again the re
semblance fails.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-In accord
ance with the published notice, a
meeting of the friends Of Gen b. +.
Butler, was held at the Union League
Hall, to night. Remarks were made
by the orators, speaking in eulogistic
terms of that gentleman, as having,
by a company of Massachusetts
troops, at the beginning of the war,
saved the Government. One Of them
remarked that though but few per
sons were there present, this was on
lg the beginning of movement TO
elect Butler to the Presidency. An
other said that while be admired
Butler, he thought that this move
ment was premature and would do
him more harm than good.
4 few colored persons were present,
and band Of the same race playad
during intervals of speaking. Reso-
lutiOns were adopted rendering thanks
to Mr.. Butler for his service for them
in the army and out of the army, IN

they then proceeded to his house foI

Mr.. Hubbard1A az@rssoIy contend

cost no more than ten of Western
Union that the average rate was forty
five cents per message against seventy
one cents in this country; that the
telegraph is more used Ia Europe than
here; the adoption of the postal sys-
tenn will reduce the average rates fifty
per cent, and that under the postal
system In Europe business increased
one hundred per cent, while expenses
lncreated but twenty hVe. He be-
lleVes great saving of expenses will
