KOsEArEHUEs OF ENTHUSIASTICALLY

The writer Of the following is an ex.
cellent gentleman, Of tender sensibIi
ties, and much disposed to capture ev.
ery novelty. IN fact, novelty and orig
inality faseinate some people wonder
fully, and only because such facts Of
PROPOSITIONS are novelties in the
physical or moral world. Therefore,
people designing to do good, and q
ameliorate the condition Of women, arc
apt to condemn or approve alike the
good and evil done by the sex. No one
has proposed, as intimated in the ap-
pended note, to deprive Woodruff and
Claim Of any right, save that 70 do ont.
rageou wrong. In fact, this would be
quite impossible. The sympathies ot
the people, in any conflict with man o.
law, are always with the woman. Mrs.
Fair was acquitted, when the law pro
nouneed her a m~urderess, and
so with the woman in this
city. who committed deliberate
murder in the broad daylight, giving hei
victim not a moments warning. II
siustice to alp demand that women be
invested with the right Of suffrage, ii
viii be conceded. We happen TO believe
that its concession would be a crime
against the sex and against society. Dr..
Rose should listen TO some sensible
woman, who, unlike Woodruff and
Clafin, would inaugurate reforms in the
Industrial life Of women, and provide
occupations, not ballots, for the helpless,
that woman's poverty and incapacity
E0r the cOmmOnest tasks Of self-mainte-
a may not send her down TO perdi-
ton. The crime Of society against
women consists in the defective educa-
ton and training Of the sex, and espe-
ciaIly is this now true in the
South. There are countless avOca-
tious which women should monopolize

This benefcent purpose they will have

We are glad to learn that the project
of building an Opera House in this
city is being revived, AMI is meeting
with much encouragement. 1t is a
notorious fact that there is not another
city OF its size in the United States that
is so destitute of places of public amuse,
ment as is Wheeling. Washington Hall
is very poorly adapted for concert, an
opera or play. The best talent can
rarely be induced to come here under
these circumstances, and it is often
difficult to induce our citizens, knowing
the disadvantages Of the hall, to attend
performances there. But, with hand
some and well arranged Opera house,
we might have something attractive,
entertaining or instructive almost every
night; the best operate and theatrical
companies would visit us and our citi-
zens would take pleasure in attending
their representations.
Besides, if the building be eligibly
located, there can be little doubt that
its rents would pay handsome inter
est upon the cost Of construction. We
trust that the gentleman who are now
moving in the matter may meet with
such encouragement as to make the
Opera House a sure thing this time.
1t ought to be ready for occupying next
winter.

MISS EDITH O'GORMAN, recently con-
verted TO Professionalism. Young, sprightly
and smart. For several years an inmate of
st. Joseph's Convent, Hudson City, New
Jersey. She will deliver her STARTLING
and THRILLING LECTURE, entitled
LIFE IN A CONVENT" Miss O'GOrman
has had personal experience Of the most
THRILLING CHARACTER, some chapters
of which she will relate. 1t is a subject OF
deep interest to thousands, and Miss O'GOr-
man, having been Nun herself, Is capa-
BILE OF giving vivid picture of the interior
Of such an institution. 1t only occurs once
in lifetime that the public have an OppOr-
tunity OF hearing an Escaped Nun lecture
on Convent Life. This will be one of the
most interesting and instructive lectures
ever given In Wheeling. She has recently
been speaking TO crowded houses in other
cities, the largest halls being filled 10 over
flowing. Members Of all the Protestant
churches especially making il a ONT 10

We publish this morning the full
report OF the committee on the Legi.la-
tive Department. 1t will probably be
taken up by the Convention for con-
sderatiou, amendment aud adoption,
as soon as the members have exhausted
what they have to say in relation to
the Bill of Rights, aud Elections, which
topics have consumed the past ten days.
The report in regard to the legislative
department seems rather too long and,
in some respects, unnecessarily minute
in its provisions. One very good fea-
ture it contains is the prohibition Of
special legislation upon a great variety
OF subjects, and another is the provision
for a general incorporation act. The
basis of apportionment will probably
give rise to the most important discus
sion that will take place during the
consideration of the report. The com
mittee by whom the report is submit
ted consists of Messrs. RAYMOND, HoGE,
BROWN, KNIGHT, MAsLIS, WAGGENER,
PRINCE, MILLER, CRIswELL, STATION and
STRICKLEE.

A BILL is before the committee on
Commerce in the House of Representa-
tives, for widening and deepening the
approaches to the harbor Of Baltimore.
At present, vessels drawing more than
twenty feet of water are required TO
take in or discharge portion OF their
cargo at a point twenty miles below
the city. 1t is estimated that an ap,
preparation by Congress Of one million
dollars to be expended during the next
two years will so improve the channel
as to permit vessels OF every size to
come up to the city piers to receive or
discharge their freights. The subject
is one in which West Virginia is
somewhat interested, as nearly all OF
our commerce comes or goes through
the city of Baltimore and over the line
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. An
improvement OF the harbor OF Balti,
more will doubtless result in some adj
vantage to this State.

IT may be interesting TO some Of the
members OF the Legislature to know
that since the publication here OF
House Bill No. %" as it was passed
by the House of Delegates, we have
heard several prominent business men
say that should the bill become law
their financial affairs will be seriously
crippled thereby. We have heard two
gentlemen say that they Will as soon
as possible call in every dollar they
have loaned to citizens Of this State
and send their money West for better
investment. We have heard several
others declare that they will as
speedily as possible dispose OF the
shares Of bank stock they hold and will
send the money out Of the State. No
bank. in West Virginia can safely do
any discount business under the opera
tons OF that bill. 1t may benefit curb
stone brokers'" but we doubt whether
even they can devise a means OF evad'
ing the law, except at such a risk as
would compel them to charge rates
really usurious.
If the bill canno, be defeated in the
Senate, let it be amended so as to ex-
cept Ohio county from its operations,
and let the title be so changed as to
style the act "An Act to prevent the
lending Of money in West Virginia
and to destroy the commercial pros
parity of the State"
