The Bridge Bill-The Commercial
Correspondence.
sea CHARLESTON, February Is.
To render justice to all, am con-
strained to say that a good deal OF
legislation is being enacted, and that
the quality Of the work will compare
,fayorably with that Of any preceding
Legislature. Some trifliug bills have
passed, such, for instance, as. giving
authority to the officers of certain
Methodist Churches to sell their church
property; the creation of independent
school districts; giving relief to few
q. men who have paid taxes twice on the
! same property. &c, &c, but this is
innocent, II not important or necessary
legislation, and will probably do nobody
any particular harm. But, in addition
to this, a goodly number of important
general laws will be passed, and amend
ments that experience has proven to be
necessary, made to others already In
existence. My observation leads me to
the conclusion that more care is being
exercised in the passage OF local and
special bills, than has usually been the
case heretofore. The bad features OF
such bills are generally carefully
eliminated, and the most Of such bills
that may pass, will be comparatively
unobjectionable.
The bill authorizing the city Of
J Wheeling to subscribe 100000 to the
capital stock OF the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railroad Company, has
passed both houses and is law. A
certified copy Of it will be forwarded by
your Senator tomorrow, to DR.. George
, Baird, the chairman Of the Railroad
committee of the Councils. The bridge
bill would have passed the House to-
dsy il the calendar lad been concluded;
it will undoubtedly pass tomorrow, and
a certified copy will be forwarded at
once. :,
The Wheeling and Tuscarawas rail-
road bill passed the Senate, on Tuesday
and will pass the House without much
delay.
The bill changing the times Of hold.
ing the Courts in the First Judicial
Circuit has passed both houses and is a
law. here insert correct copy OF 1t,
for the information Of all concered:
GAN ACT to amend and re-enact chap
ter fourteen of the acts Of 1871, fixing
the times OF the commencement OF the
terms of the Circuit Courts OF the First
Judicial Circuit.
BE hsnactedbyMe Legislature of West
Virqinia, That chapter fourteen of the
acts of 1871 is hereby amended and re-
enacted 30 as to read as follows:
"The terms of the Circuit Court OF the
counties comprising the First Judicial
Grcuit. instead of as heretofore pre-
scribed, shall hereafter commence as
follows: =
For the county of Ohio, on the first
Monday in March, and the third Mon
days of May and October.
"For the county of Hancock, on the
second Mondays of April and Septem-
Der, and the fourth Monday Of Novem-
Der.

third Mondays Of April and September,
and the fljt Monday of December.
"For the county of Marshall, on the

the second Wednesday OF December.
The Convention still has under con.
sideration, in committee Of the Whole,
the report of the committee on Bill OF
Rights, &c. The correspondent of the
Intsllgencer is greatly in error, in tele-
graphing, as he has done on two occa-
sions, that the Convention has agreed
to certain sections and certain articles.
The Convention has not agreed to a
a single section, line or syllable OF the
new Constitution. Several propositions
have been agreedto in committee OF the
Whole, but not one OF these have, as
We, been even reported to the Conven-
ton for its action.
Speaking of correspondents, reminds
me that read, to-day, letter in the
Cincinnati Commercial from its cores
pondent at this place, devoted to the
Panhandle and to its interests and rep
resentatives. II. V. r." is a very
amiable gentleman, but, like many
other mortals, possesses a large share
of human nature. He is q susceptible
Young man. He is easily taken in, as
any Intelligent resident of the Panhan-
die will discover on reading his letters
in the Commercial ofthe 18th. You gen
tlemen who are posted will readily
understand from whom he drew his in
formation. Did we not all compre
bend this, we would have to conclude
H. V. R. was either great ass, or
consummate liar. would suggest
that you publish the letters referred to,
as curiosities to your people.
While the House and Senate are
transacting mere routine business; and
the Convention is engaged in discussing
measures in committee Of the Whole,
i, ia not easy for an ordinary scrIbbler
one without metropolitan pretenslons
to make up an interesting letter from
a point completely frozen in and cut of
from communication with the outside
world unless he should, Bohem al
like, draw upon his Imagination or upon
the resources OF some unreliable cuss'
