Consumption Of the Lungs.

The belief in the fatality of the disease
usually depominated phthidc, or consump-

How They Voted.

On the bill to repeal the "iron clad
test oath, which was passed by the
House OF Representatives in Congress
last Wednesday, General WlTcHEE
voted in favor of repeal. We regret to
observe, however, that both DUvALL
and McGREw voted for the retention Of
the oath. There is no measure that
could come before Congress for action
upon which the sentiment of the peo-
pie Of West Virginia has beea more
clearly expressed than this. The State
having pronounced in favor Of the aboli-
ton of test oaths at home, the represen-
tatives Of the State in Congress should
have considered themselves virtually
instructed by the people to favor the
same policy there Especially is this
the case in the First Congressional Dis
trict In voting against the abolition Of
the test oath, General DUvALL has dis
regarded the wishes of an overwheln-
ing majority Of his constituents, and,
we believe, a.majority of his own politi-
cal party in this District.

The Martinsburg Nes0 Era advocates
the holding OF public meeting OF citi-
zens OF Berkeley county, in favor Of a
Constitutional Convention 1t is prob
ably too late for popular expression
of that kind to have any influence upon
the Legislature at its present session,
and we doubt whether it is needed. Ger
tainly the Legislature can do no less
than permit the people to vote upon the
question whether convention shall be
held when such vote can be had with
out its costing the State single dollar
Of extra expense. The FLICK Amend
ment is to be submitted to the people
for ratification or rejection at special
election to be held early in the spring.
The Constitutional Convention can be
voted upon at the same time without
any additional cost to the State or any
inconvenience to the people. Surely,
undersuch circumstances, the Legisla-
ture will not dare to refuse acquiescence
in what is plainly popular demand.

From the Richmond Dispatch, Feb. H.
The yirrini;ts and the Debt.

The joint resolution proposing to
refer the question of the proportion of
the public debt to be paid by West Vir-
ginia to arbitration has been travelling
to and fro between the two Houses of
the General Assembly upon difference
Of opinion of no great moment.
Very properly the House struck out
OF the resolution (Which originated in
the. Senate) the declaration which
throws the onus of delay in the settle.
ment OF the matter upon West Nir-
ginia. Tragic heroes, just before
mortal combat, address upbraiding
speeches to each other; but such Ian
guage does not suit peaceful PROPOSE
ton. In this amendment the Senate
concurred.
The House also struck out the pro-
vision in the resolution which required
the ratification Of the award of arbitra-
ton by the Legislatures of the two
States. This amendment was on yes
terday disagreed to by theS Senate, which
seemed to be indignant at the idea that
so important matter should lie lctt to
the final decision of arbitrators. For
ourselves we wish this debt question
between the States could be promptly
disposed OF, and would, FOR one, be
willing that Virginia should leave it to
final settlement by arbitration.
But the Senate is fastidious. If the
provision reserving the ri .ht to ratify be
stricken out, assuredly there is nothing
in the resolution to bind future Legis
latures. There would just be nothing
on the subject, aud the future Legisla-
lures can take such action as they deem
proper with regard TO the decision OF
the arbitrator, .....-,
Still it would appear that, possibility
leaving ont the sentence requiring rati
fcation, there might he less inclination
to hew and bore the award in captious
and fault-fnding way.
The credit OF the St,te would elm
proved by a settlement OF this vexed
question between the States, and We sup
pose all people in Virginia would be
gratifed BY anything that would tacili-
tate conclusion SO much desired.

Cabinet Changes.

Rumors OF Cabinet changes are so
frequent that an announcement of
Cabinet change is looked upon as shift
to fill barren news column. For the
past week or so mysterious whispers
have floatei around that Messrs. Fish ;.
Robson and Boutwell, would soon re-
tire f,om the Cabinet. 1t has not oc-
CURED TO me until recently that any Of
these things could be traced to sub
stantial basis, but now / feel authorized
to say that they are more than mere
rumors. There is no doubt at all that
Secretary Fish will shortly resign, but
his resi- gnation is not expected until
after the adjournment of the Indiana
Legislature. No one questions the be.
lief that Senator Morton will be ap
pointed in his place. Representative
Ortiz can be appointed Senator, by the
Governor OF Indiana, in place of Mr..
Morton. But his appointment will
probably not occur till March. lie can
be appointed Minister to Berlin if he
6esires it. Mr.. Boutwell, is soured at
everything. He wants to 60. The Pa.
cifc railroad lobbyists are after him
with sharp stick, and chuckle over
the prospect Of his having difficulty
with Commissioner Pleasanton on the
income tax. Mr.. Boutwell,, it is thought,
will not be Secretary of the Treasury
five weeks longer 1t is even extremely
doubtful il he will continue there three
weeks Attorney General Alderman is
to be turned out if possible. The Pa
cifc railroad magnates are alter him
too, and call him all sorts OF names.
Mr.. Alderman ) official days are proha-
bly, few.
The day is past when Cabinet minis
tiers resign on small provocation. The
time was wIen the Secretary of the
Treasury resigned because the Presi
dent insisted upon appointing a friend
Assistant Treasurer at New York. But
you will shortly hear of several c&Usps
to promote such designations, and sew
eral reasons for Cabinet changes, al
vanced by very strong men. The
schemes now being laid, aided by in
difference on the part Of those who are
to be driven from their post, can hardly
fail in their purpose.

Danger amt (hOrpenninS's Claims
May yet be Hnid.

The Senate Postoflice committee has
had Under consideration the joint reso-
luton put through the House by Mr.
Dawes, repeating the resolution 10y au.
thority Of which the Postmaster Gen.
eral awarded Chorpenning four hundred
and sixty thousand dollars, to which he
has no just right, and ii is understood
have decided to report in favor Of its
passage, with an amendment permit
ting Chorpenning to go with his claim
before the Court of Claims. Chorpen-
ming, and Chorpenning's wife, who is
most efficient lobbyist Of the claim,
have frequently expressed willingness
to have their case 60 to this court. The
House is not likely, after the exposure
that has been made, to concur with the
Senate if the resolution is so amended,
and the danger is that a disagreement
to the resolution will fail, and the
award OF the Postmaster General thus
be allowed to stand. This 10 now the
claimants trump card. g. .----..-

Ar last, one of the Presidential
brothers.in-law. has come TO grief.
Rev. CRAMER, a seedy preacher, hap
pened to marry into the GRANT family,
and since the elevation of ULYSSES the
First, felt, himself called" to be the
American Minister to Denmark. He
appears to be a very meek and lowly
sort of man, for when he had pro
voked a quarrel and got slapped in the
face for his pains, he didn't resent the
insult, nor did he quite turn the other
cheek-he only complained TO his big
brother-in-law. For this lack OF proper
appreciation of "the manly art of self.
defense" and from the further fact that
he is totally unfit in any respect to rep
resent this Government at the court Of
Denmark, Senator SUMNER has success
fully opposed his confirmation.
