TEMPORARY SEAT
CHARLESTON, Dec, 90, 1879. !
The Capital bill goes over. 1t has not
been reported back from the Judiciary
Committee in the Senate, as l surmised
pstormer letter It would be, and in con-
sequence Of the recess Of the Legislature,
the bill remains in s!aIS quo. Whether
this Is agOod move on the part OF the Re-
mOvslists, is o matter Of doubt. The
friends Of the bill claim that by allowing
The Eastern Panhandle members to con-
suit their constituents before action on
tAematter, the passage Of the bill is made
sure. On the other hand, the Ants re-
joice at the delay, because they think it
defeats the BILL From all l can CLEAN on
the subject, ! think the dila!oriness OF
the friends Of themeasure in the Senate,
bunlavonble Tor the removal. At any
rate, Charleston retains the Capital for a
month yet, certain, and therefore, the cit.

THE ZEE QUESTION,

THE FEE QUESTION,
or'ihe amount OF fees, salaries, 3d., al.
lowed TO sherihs, clerks and
other county officers has been elab.
oratply discussed bylboth branches OF
the Legislature. The constitution was
made BY lawyers and for the special ben.
eht Of lawyers. In this 1t Is o success.
The present 10 farmers Legislature;
there ore but comparatively few lawyers
In It. The farmers want laws made 10
suit themselves, which Of course does not
meet the appreciation Of the legal gentle.
men, and elaborated debates ensue, and
in nearly every instance the lawyer comes
out ahead by taking up the Constitution
and showing them that there Is Consti-
tutional provision upon that point which
prevents legiSlation ofthe former kind.
The ShetifIs are cut down Ia their fees
90 much as TO take nearly oil Of the "iat"
out Of the Office. The County and Circuit
Court Clerks are required 10 make up
their salaries wholly from their fees, and
what 10 worse than all, they are required
70 issue process without the privilege Of
demanding pay IN advance, which will
rob them OF the opportunity Of collecting
at least half Of their fees. This Is Q feast
for the lawyer, but death for the Clerk.
To say the least, 1t Is an unjust law, and
ought not to remEin-upon our statute.
THE COMMISSIONING BUSINESS.
In order to render the Hooppole County
Courts as respectable as possible,a rssolu.
ton was introduced In the House requir-
ing the Governor to commission the Jus.
tice with other county officers. Oonsid-
cradle discussion followed, and the reso-
luton was adopted. Pending the debate,
Mr.. Smith Of Tyler, who was pretty
thoroughly disguised, offered the follow
ing, which was promptly floored:
Resolued, That the Committee on Arts,
Sciences, &C, berequested, II deemed ex.
pedient, 10 report o bill commanding the
Hdiutant General Of this State, or the
person performing the duties Of such office,
to procure sufficient number Of shoulder
straps and other paraphenalia as Is neces.
sary and furnish the same TO the Over
seers Of the poor, Surveyors Of Roads,
Constables and Justices Of the Peace, to
be worn by them when in the line of duty.
Alter hearing, the arguments adduced in
favor Of the commissioning business, !
am clearly Of the opinion that Smiths
resolution was very proper one and
should have been adopted. The bill was
killed in the Senate, when 1t came before

THE CIRCUIT COURTS.

The constitution limits the terms of the
Circuit Courts to two in each county an
nually, which is decided by the Legisla-
ture to be inadequate, to dispose
Of all Of the business in some
Of the larger counties, SO the abilities Of
the legal gentlemen were taxed to get
around the Constitution. They finally got
out Of the brush by providing for adjourn.
ed terms for each regular session, which
would give them six terms per year in-
stead Of two, as required by the Constitu-
ton. While this question was under
discussion, Reynolds, Of Mason, who Is
the sharpest and wittiest member Of the
House, introduced the following, which II
might be well to state, didn't pass:
Resolbef, That the Judiciary Committee
inquire into the expediency Of so arrang-
ing the calender for judicial purposes, as
to include two additional months in each
year, so as to make 1t possible to hold the
six terms Of the Circuit Court now being
provided for in Senate Bill No. 50, 50
that every sixth year will be ajudicial jub-
lice, instead Of every seventh, as was the
custom under. the old Jewish dispense
ton.

THE CAPITAL REMOVAL.

This vexed question seems to be buried
for the present. The bill for removal
readily passed the House, and when it
went to the Senate, was referred to the
Judiciary Committee and by them put in
their pocket. 1t will remain in quietude
until after the recess, when new bill will
be introduced that will likely pass with q
rush. Charleston people are, however,
fully confident that they will now retain
1t.
III do not go home during the recess,

Charleston proper. HENRY.

THE DoDDRmoE COUNTY CONTEST.


The contest between Wade and Nc
MILAN, for the seat in the House, from
Doddridge county,LWas decided yes
terday. Mr.. Mcmillan, who has been
the recognized member thus far, was not
admitted to membership in the House, be.
cause Wade had shown that he had him.
self received a majority Of the votes cast
for delegate; and Wade was also ruled
out because it was claimed that he had
never made a final settlement with the
Auditor as Sheriff OF Doddridge county;
so the seat was declared vacant and q
new election will be held. This is bad
treatment towards Mr.. Wade. He is the
choice Of the people Of his county as
their representative, and 1t is unjust to
choke him off with q mere technicality as

DcGress and His Department OF
Education.

We we'll know the eminent good nature
of our brother Webb of the Telegraph, and
li,s' aflert: desire toreDder justice to every
man, but sfe also know his eScellert. and
practical good sense, hence we infer That
our DeGress of the Department Of Educa-
tion, cannot impos, on his good nature to
any great extent. When ever radical
paper like the Union, which is paid for its
advocacy Of persons and measures, finds it
necessary to condcml the facts OF u State
official, you may rest assured there is
something rotten in Denmark, and what
does DeGress' letter amcpnt toi Simply
that some of our best people and teachers,
to give the State system fait trial, have
Welded up to State control their own sue
cessiul and we'll established institutions,
and received in lieu the. PROMISES OF the
State, for remuneration, that will never be
realized tinder the alministrafi ion OF this
man, Degrees. To be sure, he has succeed
ed in getting puff from the 81. Louis
Journal of Education But the accomrt.
iht officers: 81 the State Treasury re fused
to allow his infamous hills. We all recol-
lecr, that the Comptroller wouldn enter
tain for n moment bill of DeGress' as Su-
perin:endent OF Education for black boards
-1some enormous and prep"sterous amount
charged utterly ,nnrensorable, and could
not in the very nature OF the charge nave
been correct. The Comptroller, further;
stated that the amount of moni,s Dedress
was continually drawing hills for, without
any check on him because he gave no
bond would .SQon exhaust the school fund.
And sure enough he did, for at one gulp
that is TO say on one voucher, lie swept the
waoe Of the balance or remainder to the
credit of the School fund in the State
Treasury viz seyeny thousand dollars.
What be has dono with, this amount OF
money that he put in hls, ,bree she's, pGcke',
he won't condescend to state, DIl aearly
every exchange teens W i,h complaints of
the non.payment of teachers and of the
failure of the State Officials TO provide tne
requisite funds for the proper establish
ment of schools. That there has unlues-
ii5lably been, a very large amount OF the
School fund squandereil, is apparent to
the most cursory Observer certainly there
have been travelling ag'nis drawing from
the fund, we know. but what their desig-
nation proper, we do not know. Some
few, that have been pointed out TO us, and
from representation we should
suppose, were competent to the proper dis "
charge of the duties of the Office, but those
that were appointed from among our own
people here, we also know to have been ut
ierly incompetent, and some OF them utter
ly worthless, in morals and in every other
view. We conline these remarks to travel
ing agents and supervisors and to DeGress
