CHARLESTON, November %, 1872.
The House was not in session to-
day, and the Senate only spent an
hour in the forenoon, which has ten
dency to make matters dull and leave
little to write about. In Senate Mr..
Jacob called up the bill to amend the
law in relation to the Municipal Court
of Wheeling, and, under the suspen 4
sicn of the rules, it was passed to it's
third reading. He moved to again sus-
pend the rules and put the bill on its
passage, but to this Mr.. Bennett, Of
Lewis, objected, and during the course
OF spicy little speech remarked that
the Senate of West Virginia was not
created to lesislate laws entirely and
solely for the citizens OF Wheeling, but
tor the whole State; and furth er,
Wheeling was not the State OF West
Virginia, nor West Virginia the CITY OF
Wheeling. The motion to suspend the
rules was lost, and the bill goes over
until Monday. As it is OF interest TO
the most OF your citizens | annex the
bill.
"Be ii enacted Jy the Legislature of
West Virginia: The jury in the Mu-
niclpal Court OF Wheeling shall in all
cases consist of twelve persons, to be
summoned and empannelled according
TO such rules, regulations and orders as

scribe, and to be paid the same COM
pensation as jurors in the Circuit Court,
which compensation shall be paid 10y
the parties, or either OF them, under
such rules and orders as the said Mu-
nicipal Court shall from time to time
prescribe.
"In cases within the civil jurisdiction
Of the Municipal Court appeals may be
taken TO the Supreme Court o Appeals,
or writs OF error obtained from that
court, or a Judge Thereof, subject to the

tons and conditions, and with hike
effect. as appeals from the Circuit Court
OF Ohio county. or writs Of error thereto

The arrival of the Wheeling papers
last night, which contained ARTICLES
on tue capital question, filled the
Charlestonians with tear and constern-
alton, and had an effect similar to the
bursting OF a bomb shell in the camp o.
an enemy. They are beginning to get
frightened, and are now working Like
beavers, organizing their forces to resist
any attack on their breastworks. They
can be seen on the streets, in the looms,
stores, hotels, and everywhere, and fit
around as busy as bees in tar bucket,
advocating the claims OF Charleston,
and trying to convince their listeners
of it's advantages over all other points
conte-ting for the honors OF the capital.
The zeal with which they work, the
earnes,ness with which they plead
would convince anybody that they
really believe the removal OF the seat
of government would be the death knell
of Charleston's future greatness and
prosperity. The "anti-movers" are
holding caucus tonight TO
fix up some plan OF ac-
| ton. 1 learn that K. n.
Butcher, Of Jefferson county, will be
their champion in the House. He was
a candidate for Speakership OF the
House, and / suppose he will seek sweet
consolation in opposing Wheeling Tor
the capital, because Mr. Miller defeated
him for the Speakership. He is one OF
the shrewdest men in the House, good
talker, thorough parliamentarlan, an
effective worker, and will carry force
with him in whatever ne undertakes to
do, The advocates of removal will
hold a caucus Monday evening 10 per
feet some sort OF an organization by
which their forces can be united, so a:
to act together in harmony and con-
cord. .., -,
Campbell, member OF the House from
Hancock county, is reported 10 be
opposed to removal, and will vote
Accordingly. 1t might be we'll fol
the people of Hancock courty to
give some expression OF their views on
the subject, ard let Mr.. Campbell be
informed, by petition or otherwise the
feeling OF bis constituency on this I'm.
portant question. He surely will mol
vote contrary to their desires. .,
1 am not a prophet, nor the con OF
prophet, but before concluding this sub
iect let me advise the citizens OF Wheel
ing not to indulge in any high hopes, OF
build any castles in the air, for there Il
probability that Wheeling nor any
other point will get the Capital, and
that i. mayremsin just wherei t is.
aoft expectation fails .
Where hope is eoldesf' and despair mos
