THE WHEELING AND TOLEDO
RAILWAY.

We trust that our citizens will not
permit their railroad enthusiasm to flag,
nor forget the advantages to be obtained
by the building of the long talked Of
road to the Northwest. The time is
rapidly approaching when one OF the
proposed roads in that direction will
open its books for subscription and pre-
pare for decisive work, and we wish TO
refresh the recollection Of our readers in
relation to the matter. The corpora
tors of the Wheeling and Tuscarawas
Valley Railway Company propose to
receive subscri ptions to the capital
stock Of that road on the First day OF
February at the First National Bank in
Bridgeport, Ohio. A charter has been
obtained in which the total stock of the
company is placed at Two Millions OF
Dollars and upon the subscription OF
onetenth of this sum the company may
be organized and proceed to the election
of Directors and the performance OF 9TH
er corporate acts. tits hoped that of the
100000 needed prior to organization,
citizens Of Wheeling will subscribe
100000, and the other one-half will be
taken by citizens of Bridgeport and
other towns along the route Of the pro-
posed road.
After the organization is fully
effected, further subscription of from
100000 to 100000 will be needed to
put the road under contract, when q
consolidation may at once be effected
with the Lake Shore and Tuscarawas
Valley road which is now being rapidly
built and is partly completed. An
arrangement has been made by which
the bonds of the consolidated road will
then be virtually guaranteed by the
New York Central railway and by the
sale of these bonds whatever money Is
needed for the completion of the road
may be readily obtained. This is, as
we are informed, the financial plan OF
the Wheeling and Tuscarawas Railway
Company.
There is every probability that the
road will pay, and there is a certainty
that its construction would prove o
much advantage to this city. Three o.
our most prominent and influential citl
zens, Messrs. SWEENEY, OGLEDAY ant
McLuRE, are among the corporators, a.
are also Messrs. HOLLOWAY, RHODE;
and BAGGs, in Bridgeport. An eater
prise favored and recommended by these
gentlemen ought to have no difficult,
in obtaining a subscription OF $4,000,
here.

WEST VIRGINIA shows that she is
willing to "drive as hard a bargain
aud to take as much as she possibly
can, and give as little as she possibly
can, as if she never was part and parcel
of the Old Commonwealth. The
Lynchburgh Vryinian remarks that 1t
is superlative meanness in the people of
West Virginia to claim that, because
they have illegally divorced themselves
from the old State and have set up for
themselves, they are to share only the
profits, and not the losses of the old
firm. They will pay for nothing but
what they got-and not even for that
while all the capital sunk in the busl'
ness, when they were partners advising
and consentiug to the internal i'm :
provement projects of the State, must
be reimbursed to the joint creditors by
the people OF Virginia, as cow clrcum-
scribed geographically. - Alexandria
Gazette.

SENATOR BUCKALEw, Of Pennsylvania,
is persistent in his efforts to engraft the
principle OF cumulative or reformed
voting upon the statute books OF that
State. He has just renewed his bill OF
the last session of the State Senate APP
plying the principle to the election OF
school directors, and as it was before
received with much favor it will doubt
less become law. 1t will allow the
voter wherever there is a plurality OF
candidates (as there always is for
school directorships) to have as many
votes as there are candidates, and to
cumulate his vote upon or distribute
them among many, just he sees fit.

Wild Cat Caught.

The Gettysburg Star and .Ssnti't!
saws: On Tuesday last Mr.. Samuel
Hewitt, OF Butler township, Adams
county, Pa, captured a wild cat in
Mcmillan township, near the residence
of Christopher Rice, under singular
circumstances. A fox had been run
down, taking refuge under a rock.
An attempt was made to smoke it out
BY building a fire. While this was
going on the dogs started a wild cat
which made for the same place, but
encountcring the smoke lodged into 4
hollow log close by. The opening OF
the log was Immediately closed, and
the log carried to the residence Of Mr..
Hewitt, where a cage was constructed
and set at the end Of the log, so that
the animal in leaving the lc< would
have to enter the cage. The cat
was thus secured and is now in
possession OF Mr.. Hewitt.

Reverse Side of,the Picture.

Suppose that instead OF Virginia
owing nearly fifty millions Of dollars,
she had that amount surplus in the
treasury. Consider the altered condition
of affairs and the altered logic of people.
1t would be both instructive and anus
ing.
l. West Virginia would claim at least
one third OF it. She would be content
with no standard of division but that Of
the area OF territory. The mountains
so small a part OF which are inhabita-
bic, would be counted in all their di-
mansions as a part of this area. How
interesting it would be to hear our
friend Jonathan NJ. Bennett, Esq,
demonstrating the justice of a division
upon that broad basis! The claim OF
West Virginia would be nothing less
than fifteen millions, while she now
contends that in paying her part of the
debt of the two States she cannot be
Justly called upon for more than
million.
.. Virginia would probably contend
that West Virginia had no right to any
part of the surplus since she had
seeded from the State, against law and
right, without the consent Of the peo-
pie. 1t is probable that Virginia would
offer to the runaway State an equal
division with all the people if she
would come back into the State, and
such offer would prevail and the prodigal
would soon come home. This ground
too, would stand close criticism. Ac-
corlins to an old principle, the party in
the wrong has no right to profit by his
decd of wrong. Yet, it is interesting
to consider the change Of views that
would grow out OF a great surplus in
the treasury.
3. And what a bright and active
scene we should have here in the Cap
itaI. Those who most opposed now to
paving public and private debts would
he the most impetuous and rampant in
their charge upon the treasury. With
bowls in hand, the "Barneys," as much
delighted as two dead beats" when
they are invited to drink, would assem-
bic around the Treasurer's Office like
paupers around a soup house. They
would all want roads everywhere
suspension bridges over every brook,
and brick walks on the sides of all the
roads. Oh, how they would love the
State! Dear old mother" would she
then be to them, and they would swear
to defend her in every strait-to pray
for her and to pay for her, to live Tor
her aud 10 die for her!
Were it possible that this reverse
picture could be realized by some super
natural agency we should see here in
Virginia an example Of the inconsis-
tcncy Of man which would be recorded
in the archives of the State, and be
handed down for the ediiication and
admiration OF society to the end Of time.

4 GENTLEMAN visited a dentist We'd
ncsdav afternoon for the purpose Of
Willing away a half hour or so, and
while there a lady came in with a
little girl, wanting tooth or two drawn
for the latter. The child cried when
placed in the chair and declared that
She would not have her teeth attended
to unless the strange gentleman would
have tooth drawn first, and, to please
the little patient, lie took her place
with q wink at the doctor. The latter
took two or three instruments, while
the gentleman reclincd in the chair
smilingly gazing at the ceiling for the
assurance of the watching child, and
after softly poking at two or three
teeth, to the horror Of the obliginG gen
tleman, he commenced boring into his
Jaw where a tooth had once been ex.
tracted. and before he could offer a
protest 4 tremendous wrench brought
ont a large root, which the doctor held
up to the child with q diaboliCal grin
on his face. The gentleman rolled off
the chair, and, with an expression OF
unuttcrable pain in his drawn countc.
nance, cazed moment reproachfully
at his friend and left the office. The
little one did not seem TO be greatly en-
couraged by the exhibition.-.Sdn Fran.

CHARLESTON, January Is.
Editors oft Register:
| have patiently waited to give You
something of interest from the Consti-
,utional Convention, but as the time
since the opening has been consumed
with preliminary business, nothing OF
very great importance has occurred to
communicate.
The building in which the Convention
is being held is an old Methodist Church,
situated on Virginia street, and when |
say old ! mean it in its fullest sense.
In the hurry to prepare it for thc Con-
vention, the ripping up and tearing ont
opcned cracks and crevices through
which the cold air has easy access, and
stoves are as useless as if out in the
open air.
1t may be that the people OF Charles
ton were under the impression that the
Convention would require a room only
to meet in and adjourn, as Mr.. Faulkner
had a Constitution already prepared and
sufficiently ventilated in the papers for
the members TO have read it and made
up their minds to adopt it. But there
are others who consider themselves as
we'll adapted TO write constitutions as
Charles James.
William G. Brown has bundle OF
papers as large as a nail kcg which he
intends to inflict upon the Convention
rs soon as the proper time arrives.
Alpheus Raymond, Okey johnson
and other Constitution writers have
similar documents slowed away In their
old clothes. .,ou-,

their lobby members who introduced
the resolution to remove the Conven-
ton to Wheeling.
Mr.. Fitzhugh, Of Charleston, op.
posed the resolution very strongly and
perhaps spoke with great deal more
energy than discretion. He claimed
that the people OF Wheeling had
broken faith with the people Of
Charleston; that it was the I'M
Outstanding, if the citizens OF
Charleston would vote for the holding
of the Convention they, the people OF
Wheeling would not agitate the re-
moval of the Capitol or Convention.
