II ON the Iauu W
me, where the February roses o1
ri Ben. Smith are blooming and the
,v BIRDS are whistling all the day, |
YOU line in fulfllment OF
e made you sometime ago. Since
,..sInc here it is true that the sur
4,,n.!ings have been such as to render
ls 4Hoye description q trifle inaccurate
tor ..r w,a.her has been cold and wet
hi Ine roses | have seen were mainly
s,rh,,kv blossoms" lighting IN the
hos. Of jaw birds wearing overcoats,
snl ,n,verins round the Hale House.
T., am bound to believe that have
~, vet sen the promised land wearing
IN. .,cca,,omed and usual aspect, and
Apd,r ordinary circumstances Colonel
Sw tbs description. from which | have
bl5,ei is underdrawn instead of being,
4, ,ome malic Gus souls have hinted,
newhst exaggerated.
The Leg stature adjourned on Thurs,
t.r most OF the members leaving tor
r.. homes during the day. Senator
B,;-r left on the Parkersburg packet
that day, which carried the greater
En-; OF the Panhandle delegation.
REPRESENTATIVES Barr and McKennan
o' your city, are still here, but, be
eve, intend leaving as soon as the
3 Court OF Appeals renders the balance oil
il. decisions, which are expected on
Monday next. They will take with
stlem the ac,s OF the session which are
ID, n,erest to your people.
A. ! am informed, the greater part OF
HE ;i;ae OF both Houses has been taken
irp in the consideration OF a large num-
H. OF bills of private character,
"a .hpu:h considerable number Of bills
q public interest have been passed, and
b emhers generally express themselves
h. the effect that the session has been
3 exceedingly laborious one. Should
tIr action OF the Convention, looking
"A :.e preyea..n % @''rHt" IegISl ION
l..eatter, be su>ta ne,l, a benefit will
;ue to the people o. the State from
la alone that will pay for the cost OF
iaq, body.
| find your delegation spoken Of as
o. able and attentive one. The former
fr:vlces o; Messrs Baker and Barr, in
bic Senatt and House, have familiar
iz.d them to the practical working OF
ithe machinery o. legislation, and their
experience, together with the energy
tact and ability displayed by both, has
given them a weight and influence here
elnal to that OF any other among the
1a'e members.
The Little breeze raised BY the attack
sraie upon the Public Printer, has
5aoput subsiied into a dead calm. The
smqj )ri,y report of the committee ex-
Generating Mr.. Walker, should have
Sen lei the controversy, and the labor Of
tae committee appointed to sit during
tar recess is expected by those who
skarw the facts IN the case to bring
3 sah,1t one result and one only-that Of
3ea'a.l.ny a considerable expense upon
stAe State. The difference in prices
sc.s-:ei for job work by the present
H. .mhent from that charged by his
l'r iecy.sor is simply the difference
iiia the cost of printing at Charleston and
stae difference in the cost OF printing at
4W Wheeling. and as there seems to be no
sixri rate Tor doing that class Of the
slro.c printing, it only furnishes an
o,4er Argument for removing the Capt.
IT,, an argument which is hereby
aaectonately recommended for the
j 4cy's.derAtion Of our cou.ils at the
4 "itrrDanent seat
The Convention is making more pro-
g!ess now, since the work OF the various
scomm'ltees has been submitted for its
con, ieration.
You are doubtless in receipt OF the
proceedings, up 10 Thursday noon.
fSace then the report OF the committee
Ia Judiciary offered by Mr.. Faulkner
las heen before the committee OF the
& Whole, Col. Hoy, OF Martinsburg,
a'rman, and as far the twenty-tifth
3s.'ilon has been adopted, with few
amendments. Quite spirited discus
'oa has been had over the number of
Eolrt Of Appeals judges and the
county court system" but the report
Of the committee fixing the number OF
the first at four think will be sustained,
and it seems to be the general sense OF
the Convention that the county court,
or jackass aud two mules system Gas
Il is irreverently styled), shall be
ioptei for the counties generally, leav-
~ the larger and more populous coun-
-, the liberty OF having such other
g,:em as shall be acceptable to them
& ives.
4 ! think an adjournment will be
cached about April lst, although some
vS Of the members think they will be
ale to get through sooner.
The delegates from the Panhandle
whom have seen are all well. Gal
aner aud Campbell are the only ones
VINO don appear to enjoy the "peren-
MAJ summer. All OF them who are
here are working hard and are ranked
among the most efficient members OF
'er committees and the Convention.
lnere are still good many strangers
-T;e, and 1t keeps Plus Rand (any.
'JiY who has seen the alderm anic
EoPor;Ons Of that Clever cuss" can
why his name is "Plus" instead OF
ou>) moving to welcome the Hale
"91.e arrivals. More again.
Yours, SMITH, OF Mcdowell.
