school. .-

Editors of the Register:
This valuable State institution is sit
uated in the centre of the prospective
town OF Huntington, in Cabell county,
West Virginia, the western terminus OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
The site of the college buildings is the
most elevated and commanding in this
very beautiful river bottom A few
acres of the primitive forest yet remain,
small portion Of which is within the
college confines, and the residue, though
it prevents a view Of the river and pass
ing boats, furnishes delightfully."- shady,
cool walk to tie college wharf, one
fourth OF mile distant.
During your correspondents visit to
this place, the intensity Of the heat pre-,
vented such an attendance upon the ex.
aminations as will warrant an extended
notice Of the scholastic attainments OF
the pupils. The teachers work seemed
to have been done thoroughly and effec-
tually, so far as it proceeded, but was
not so extensive as the law contenplates,
or the diploma evinces. Our very wor'
thy Board OF Regents have in contem,
plation a more extensive and systematic
course than the one in use. 1t should
probably be stated that the shortcom'
ings are not chargeable to the principal,
Prof. Thompson, or his coadjutors, but
rather to the admission of pupils at any
time, with permission to elect what
course of study they will pursue without
reference to the prescribed course.
The commencement exercises were
held in a grove adjoining the college,
on Thursday, June %, as follows:
salutatory-J. R. Hinkle, Mount Free
dom, w. Va. Essay-Progress; Miss Ella
Atkinson, Charleston, w. Va. ESsay-The
Unknown Great; Miss Bella Beane, sissons-
willie, w. Va. Essay-Spare Moments the

S. b. Deary, Parkersburg, w. V. Presen-
tation OF Diplomas-Hon. T.. $. Lewis, Gen.
cral Superintendent of Free Schools. Adj
dress-H. Chester Parsons, Esq, Winfield,
w. Va.
The music which formed no incon-
siderable part of the exercises,was con-
tributed entirely by the pupils and was
unusually creditable. Of the very ar-
propriate, pointed, practical address Of
ii. c. Parsons, Esq, nothing need here
be said as anything other than its en-
tire publication would do injustice to
the orator
In concluding this self imposed task
we must not forget to mention our hav-
ing been the guest of Peter Burlington,
Esq, who is a representative of the old
time, liberal, generous hospitality which
has made Virginia so deservedly ia
nous. We observed the genial, pleas

LeyisInfiye Annortionment.

The attention of such of our friends
in Brooke and Hancock counties as
are, from any cause, inclined to oppose
the holding Of Constitutional Conven-
ton, is respectfully invited to the fol-
lowing extract from Judge FERGUSON $
speech at Charleston last Tuesday,
Speaking of the fourth article Of the
Constitution OF West Virginia, he said ::
The House Of Delegates IS by this
article limited to fifty-six members, and
it is the duty of the Legislature to re-
apportion representation in the Legis-
lature as soon as possible after the cen
sus is taken by the United States. The
duty to re-apportion devolved upon the
last Legislature, but the arbitrary prin-
ciple upon which the re-apportionment
must be made by the provisions of this
article, created so much dissatisfaction
and opposition. that we deemed it advi
sable in view Of the proposed Constitu-
tional Convention, not to make re-
apportionment at that session. The
negro although a voter by the provis-
lons of our Constitution can't be counted
in the basis of representation. The
white population alone are to be conn
ted. And hence if we re-apportion rep
resentation under the present Constltu-
ton, Jefferson and Marion counties,
which now have two delegates each,
will lose one, and Boone, Brooke, Han
cock, Logan Morgan and Writ, which
now have one delegate each, will all be
deprived OF that one. If we had re ap-
portioned representation last winter the
arrangement as to those counties would
have been az follows:
Brooke and Hancock, one delegate,
Boone and Lincoln one, Logan andMc-
Dowell one, Writ and Jackson t,co; and
as to Morgan we could find no place TO
put her unless we gave her a delegate
in violation OF the constitution. Kama
wha which, if the negroes could be
counted, would have three delegates,
must, under the present constitution, go
ten years longer with tsOo. l believe
chat every county in the Stste, no matter
how small, should have one delegate at
least; every county with ten thousand
populationI would give two delegates

merer's Mills.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held on Saturday last at kammerer's
mills, eight miles on the Washington
pike from Monongahela City, to advance
the interests Of the above route, and il
possible secure the extension of the
road in question east from Washington
on the route located by the Hempfeld
railroad The meeting was organized
in the church by calling John L. George,
ESQ, to the chair, and a large list OF
Vice Presidents, with F. G. Kammerer
and Robert Moore as Secretaries. The
President explained the object Of the
meeting, after which Mr.. Joseph KAN
merer complied with the request
of the meeting by making a
report from TIT committee appointed at
the Steubenville meeting, held last
week, to wait upon Mr.. Hughart, Presi-
dent ofthe Connellsvllle railroad. The
report was highly satisfactory, Mr..
Hughart expressing great confidence in
the early completion of the road in
question, but was non-committal as to
the route. He assured the Committee,
however, that it would be located where
the greatest inducements were held out
10y the people, taking into consideration
cost and distance, with reasonable
grades and freight and travel. Mr..
Hughart expressed desire to meet with
the peopleon the route, but his engage
ments were such as to render it imposl-
bic for him to be present on the Oath.
On motion, Hon. George V. Laurence,
John S. Markle, ESQ.,, and Joseph Kan
merer were appointed committee to
wait upon Mr.. Hughart and call an adj
journed meeting at such time and place
as would make it convenient for him
to attend. Robert Moore, James
Thorne, John Murray, John S Markle,
John T. Hopper, John L. George, Jo-
seph Kammerer and S. E. Hill were
appointed committee to wait upon the
people on the route, procure releases
and stock, &c. The meeting was ably
addressed by the Hon. George V. Lau-
renee, John S. Markle, William Carr,
Hon. Louis Bolman and Colonel John
Douglass. The latter gentleman
pledged himself to build the bridge
over the Yough or secure thirty thou
sand dollars for that purpose. There
was the utmost harmony and unanimity
in the meeting as to the importance of
early, active, undivided action, and that
the location of the route depended
greatly on themselves. Releases for
full two.thirds of the distances were
signed on the ground. The work al
ready done on the Hempfeld west OF
Washington, 1t was stated, had cost
near half million. This is urged as
an additional inducement for this route,
to say nothing Of its great agricultural
surroundings and its inexhaustible sup
ply OF minerals, limestone and flag
stone, the latter being among the finest

TIE WARNING OF EXPERIENCE.

The fact that the Constitution OF West
Virginia has been held to sanction all
the misdeeds of the Radical party In
this State during the past seven years.
should be considered of itself sufficient
proof of Constitutional defects. The
legal instrument that by any mode of
Interpretation could be supposed to an
thorize such oppressive enactments as
were enforced by the Radical party
should certainly be changed 80 as to
give security to the people. The bitter
experience of the past has shown that
under the present Constitution the leg
islature may trample npon the dearest
rights OF the people with perfect impu'
nifty. Anything and everything that an
ignorant and fanatical majority Of the
legislature chose to do for party
advantage was held to be in accordance
with the Constitution of the State. We
all remember how little protection the
supreme law afforded to those Of us
who dared 10 differ in opinion with the
party in power. The courts were COM
pletely under legislative control and the
Governor rewarded with judgeships the
LAWYERS who showed themselves most
skilul in interpreting the Constitution
to Justify the wrong,
Since the Democratic victory Of last
fall an era OF good feeling has prevailed.
The successful party has shown no dis
position to retaliate upon its opponents
for the oppression it was long compelled
TO endure. 1t has manifested spirit
of liberality and tolerance that its enc
mics had no right to expect, and for
which there was 10 warrant or prece-
dent in the past history of party politics
in this State. But so long as the pres
ent Constitution is in force the door is
open for reprisals. We speak not to
Democrats or Republicans only, but to
the whole people OF the State and re-
mind them that what one party has
done another can do. A mere majority,
driven by the exigencles OF their party
and struggling to retain their power,
may,under the present Constitution, re-
peat all the iniquities that character
lied Radical rule IN West Virginia.
If there is any stronger argument in
favor orthc holding OF a Constitutional
Convention, any better reason why the
Constitution should be remodclled, than
isafforded by the conduct OF the Radi-
cal party in protested accordance with
its provisions, we don't know what it
is. The organic law has shown itself
totally incompetent to protect the rights
of citizens; it has interposed no barrier
against the tyranny of a majority ;
through its loopholes and meshes the
most deadly assaults upon the rights of
the people have already been success
fully made. 1t needs to be more re-
strictive upon the power OF the Legis'
lature; more jealous of Legislative en-
croachment. 1.-THE Radicals can stand
it, probably we of the Democracy who
are now in the majority and are likely
to remain so for many years can use it
to advantage. But would it not be
better for all the people of the whole
State if now, when an opportunity is
presented, the constitution were so
changed as to render forever impossible
any repetition OF the abuses ofthe past.

one of the richest on the oontirent. It's
mineral wealth is immense, its soil iswonder-
fully fertile, and its climate is salubriouss
Facilities for communication are alone needed
to make it in few years one of the most
important and valuable portions of the Union,
and these the Northern Pacific Rail-
road will give. With the completion of
this road it is confidently expected
that emigrsnts from other portions of the
United States and from Europe will throng
there to take possession of che fertile lands

THE GAS LOAN.

SHALL the people of Philadelphia be freed
from the tyranny of the gas rng? or shall
they in the future as in the past pay out their
money on demand to be expended at the dis
cretion of an irresponsible body of men,
whose mismanagement of valuable public
works has been for years source of pecu-
mary loss and personal aggravation to every
citizen that has been obliged to pay a
gas bill or a municipal tax to meet
the interest on the gas loans
These are the questions the members
of Select Council should ask themselves, and
should be prepared to answer without equivo-
cation to their constituents, before they vote
upon the ordinance now before them for the
creation of a loan of half million dollars
for the rebuilding of gas works which were
destroyed by the Board Of Gas Trustees
without authority, and for no apparent pur-
pose except to obtain the control of d large
