Dir. White, before the vote was an

tive for the purpose Of moving a recon-
siderstion.
When the name Of Albert Lewis, Of
Lewis county, was called and he voted
in favor Of rejection, looks OF unqualified
surprise were.visibls on the faces of the
Ants, and Of disgust and deep indigna-
ton on the faces OF the Removalists. But
for him the vote would have been q tie,
and the bill ordered to It's second reading.
His vote was all the more remarkable
from the fact that his constituents were
tho first and most earnest movers in this
matter; and yet he, their chosen represen.
tauve, dared TO disregard their expressed
wishes and vote directly against their
interests
The House Immediately adjourned.
The faces Of the ChArlestonians were az
bright as May morning, and theirsmiles
and merry digs in the ribs as plentiful as
blackberries in harvest time, whilst the
Wheelingites had faces as long as the
moral law, and very suggestive ot"pickles
in theirn."
To-DAY's FIGHT.
Immediately after prayer this afternoon,
Mr.. White, OF Marshall county, moved
that the vote by which the Capital Bill"
was on yesterday rejected, be reconsider.

cause he thought 1t discourteous to the
friends Of the bill to have disposed of the
bill IN the summary manner Of yesterday.
He thought the debate on the merits Of the
bill at this stage Of proceedings was un.
parliamentary. He hoped that the Oppo.
sition would have the courtesy to consent
to reconsideration in order that the
friends Of the bill might have an opportu.
nifty to perfect 1t.
Mr.. Brown, Of Preston county, perfectly
agreed with the gentleman in his views,
and he heartily seconded his motion.
Dr.. Thompson hardly understood the
drift OF the remarks. He claimed that il
was in strict accordapce with the rules OF
the House to make q motion to reject o
bill on its first reading. That motion
had been made in this case, the bill put
on trial, found wanting and rejected. lie
appealed to gentlemen, as they had sur.
mounted the difficulties to be encountered
in getting here, TO remain and transact
their business. He likened Wheeling 10
q pointer dog which stood with his tail
d!todya pointed and a!wd,s watching for
game, and to cormorant, whose "a.
pacious jaws were always open but never
full to safety.
Mr.. Davenport said he would not have
remained quietly in his seat, on yester.
day, and permitted the iuvidious remarks
made by the gentlemen against Wheeling
to pass unnoticed, II he had not known It
was out OF order to enter into q general
discussion OF the merits Of the bill.
When the proper time arrived he would
pay them his compliments.
Mr.. Floyd addressed the Chair in Ian.
guage something similar to the following:

Mr.. Butcher, the hero Of the play, then
