pecial Dispatch to the Register

Special Dispatch to the Register
CHARLESTON, December. Is.
The bill for temporary removal oi
the State Capital to Wheeling was
brought up in the Senate to-day on it's
first reading and was reported to the
Judiciary Committee.
An effort was made in the House OF
Delegates to day to take from Wheel
ing the session of the Supreme Court OF
Appeals now required by law to be held
there once in each year, and transfer
the same to Charlestown, in Jefferson
county, whose representatives have
been foremost among the opponents of
the removal Of the State Capital. This
petty piece of spite-work failed of suc.
cess, there being thirty votes for it and
thirty against. The tie in the vote was
fatal to the success OF the scheme.

Monday last to look over the proposed

road from Cumberland to Wheeling is
to be double tracked with steel rail, and
will be running in about eighteen
months from this date. The bridges at
Belvernon, the point at which the road

,urCAPIrAL QUESTION.

IT,. -sference of the bill for removal
: ,bs State Capital to the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate yesterday is
~, q very favorable omen for the
sS, sispds Of removal. If the opponents
a, the present location have that
'...,,,b =. in the Senate which has been
.l,imed for them, they might have pre-
..,,,d this reference and thus saved
,;me to the friends of the bill, If the
Senate is disposed for removal, as we
S.rs beeu led to suppose it is, it might
tr. rroceeded to the consideration Of
,h.b;rl without this reference to COM
,;,,se that may, If it 40 chooses,
I.,ov the passage Of the bill beyond
y. time when by its terms it should
.,,, eaac. The Judiciary Committee
.t,bs Senate is composed Of Messrs.
r,uev Of Harrison; GUsroN, OF Nor
AN BsyyErr, Of Lewis; BLAKEMosE,
ofpenlleton: HALL, Of Wetzel; DICK
,s,ox Of Fayette: and Scorr, Of
Richie. OF these four are reported to
/. in favor OF removal, and three in
favor of the present location. Every
effort that can be made will be resorted
"a 70 induce one of this four to oppose
,smoysl. and there is no telling what
.Tec, the Establishment Of the Capital
nav have upon even those who are
,.ns-slly counted among the friends Of
the removal Of the seat of the State
government.
tn he plain, we consider the reference
Of the subject to the Judiciary Commits
to- Of the Senate as a triumph for the
none Of Charleston and while we
vopN not advise the abandonment OF
al hone that the Capital may be re-
moved during the present session OF the
legislature, we 10 not expect that any
important or decisive consequences may
a,w from the attitude Of the opposing
forces, nor that the question may be
smicsbly settled at the present time.
The inconveniences heretofore COM
nlsiped OF will continue to ex-
ist until line Of railroad
connecting the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Chesapeake and Ohio roads shall
nave been agreed upon. When these
condition are fulfilled, Charleston will
not be as remote as now and there will
b. a good chance that no further action
will be had in reference to the subject
OF removal
Should the Senate Committee be
friendly to the bill and 80 report, it
seems inevitable that the advocates OF
removal have lost day that will be
counted TO their detriment in the time
when the proposed bill becomes law.

Death OF Colonel Pant McNeeI.

This gentleman died at his residence
in the Levels" OF Pocahontas county
on Sunday, the Sth inst. Had he lived
until the 10th OF June next be wou d
have been seventy years OF age In
the death Of Colonel McNeel his fam.
lily sustains an irreparabe loss bis
county loses one OF its best citizens and
his State q safe and wise counsellor
He was remarkable for bis energy and
integrity; his strong common sense and
sound judgment, united With bis kind
ness of heart and Christian virtues,
made him man OF great influence in
his county. If we mistake not, the de.
ceased was born in Pocahopias county.
He started in life poor and had but a
limited education, yet but few men
with far greater advantages) have held
more enviable position in the estima-
ton OF their acquaintances.
He was for many years Sheriff, JUS
tice OF the Peace, and was a member OF
the State Convention OF 1861. The
duties Of these positions he discharged
with credit to himself, and satisfaction
to The people. He was man OF great
beneyolence OF heart, and more than
one poor boy OF his native county, is
indebted to him for liberal academic
and collegiate education.
Colonel McNeel married Miss See, OF
Randol oh county, and had by her six
children, all OF whom are living and
grown. His married lite was a happy
one, and his success as a man, is due in
some degree at least, to the many ex-
celIencies Of his wife. He was an Elder
OF the Presbyterian Church, Of which
she is a member. We sympsthize with
his afflicted family in their deep be
reavement, and are gratified to learn
that our departed friend died as he bad
lived, christian.
Thus, one 10y one, our oldest and best
men are gathered to their graves.

There is being prepared a resolution
providing for the annexation of Santo
Domingo, which will be offered from
the Democratic side OF the House, soon
after Congress assemblies in July. The
friends of annexation, irrespective Of
party politics, are working quietly,
though earnestly, in behalf OF the
scheme, and express great confidence
in its final success. Since the failure
of the Presidents plan Of annexation,
the subject has been taken in hand by
private parties, who, during the recess,
visited various parts of the country for
the purpose OF enlisting sympathy.
They now come with well organized
plan, and claim to be very strong in
Congress.

EuIogies on the Late Hon. 3arre''
The eulogies in both houses to- -day on
the late Hon. Garrett Davis, of Ken
tucky, were in pathos and eloquence
far above the usual standard on such
occasions and were listened to with
more than ordinary attention. The
remarks OF General Banks, in the
House, coming. as they did. from a po-
litical antag onist, and being couched in
The language OF his most eloquent and
sincere efforts, commanded profound
attention.

MASSACHUSETTS.
Mr.. Sumner Censured.

BosroN, December lS.-In the House
OF Representatives to-day the resolution
relating to the bill pending il Congress
concerning the Army and National
Flags came again under con-
Grafton. Mr.. Cadence, of Boston, re-
piled to Mr.. Hoyt's charge Of cowardice
on the part Of Mr.. Washburn's substi-
tute. He said it was an easy and cheap
courage which would hound down an
unpopular stateman. The country wa
substantially unanimous on the qnes-
ton and the only reason why these
resolutions were introduced was in order
to get an opportunity to censure Sena-
tor Sumner.
Mr. Town, Of Fitsbury, favored the
passage OF the resolution, and contend
ed that the body which chose Senator
was the only fit body to give expression
to the sentiment OF Massachusetts.
There was no question that the resolu.
ton expressed the sentiment OF the
people oil Massachusetts. Every name
on the battle flags was a record OF
valor and tribute to bravery. If the
rebels were brave, then they were so
much more creditable to the brave boys
who overcome them. The question at
issue was between Massachusetts and
the aristocrats OF the South, and the
time would come when all, both North
and South, should see that those victo-
res were on the side of civilization.
The subject was further discussed by
other members, and after two counts
had been had, the resolutions censurlng
Mr.. Sumner were passed, by a vote OF
ia to 76.
