The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1871-01-24
The State Capital.

NOTWITHSTANDING lhe iaSt 'h@'
river is now open and, as we are IN
formed, boats are running regularly
on the Kanawha, we are without news
from the capital later than last Wednes-
day. Five days have elapsed OF whose
events at the permanent seat we are
in profound and perhaps blissful ignor-
apce There must be something defec-
tive in the arrangement of the mail
routes TO cause this long delay in the
transmission of news. The mails either
fail to connect at Parkersburg or Gal
lipolis or both. A passenger can easily
make the trip between Wheeling and
Charleston in forty-eight hours; why
are the mails not as expeditions?
The business transacted in the Legs
lature last Wednesday consisted mainly
of instructions TO committees 10 pre-
mare certain bills. Among these was
the repeal of the registration law; the
repeal of the voters test oath; the dis
continuance of the Adjutant Generals
office and the modification Of the jury
law Various local bills were also
offered.
