As our Quincy street neighbor seems
to have forgotten all about the resolu.
tons asking that the City Council might
have authority to make subscription
Of 100000 to the Wheeling and Tus'
caravans Valley railroad pithoa any
conditions Uhatever, but leaving the
matter to the discretion of the Council
which is now thought unfit to be trusted,
perhaps he may have some recollection
Of the following petition:
To the Legislature of tie State Of West
Virginia:
The undersigned citizens Of the city
Wheeling would respectfully represent
that they desire the passage Of law
authorizing a city subscription not ex-
ceeding $500, 900 to the capital stock Of
the Wheeling and Tuscsrawas Valley
Railway Company, provided such sub
scription shall be approved by three
fiths Of the voters Of said city, voting at
an election to be held after fifteen days
notice, the eastern terminus OF said road
and depot grounds and buildings to be
within the corporate limits Of the city Of
Wheeling.
This petition, proposed by Mr..
STANTON, was presented at public
meeting held at the Court House on
the 3lst of January and was signed by
many OF our citizens, the editor of the
HtelHgencer among the number. Where
was then this zeal to fetter the Council
with conditions2 How then did he
express his unwillingness to trust "the
present CouncilY' There was no effort
made then to require the remainder Of
the capital for the construction Of the
road to be first subscribed before the
City Council should be authorized to
move. The mythical railroad man"
of the Ltelhgsncer had no questions to
ask and Citizen" said nothing
about requiring the company to
be organized, with ten per cent
of its capital paid in, before Wheeling
should say whether she would do any
thing in aid of the enterprise. The
members OF the Council were all then
upright and trustworthy citizens who
might be relied upon to protect the
cty's interest, without having it flung
in their teeth that there was danger Of
their stealing the funds authorized to
be subscribed to the road. No guar
antee was to be asked that the work
should commence at this end of the
line or that the road should ever be
completed. All these things were to
be left to the discretion of the Council
that the IntslHgencsr now seeks to stig-
Matte as corrupt and unworthy Of
public confidence.

We welcome to our table and our ex-
change list the Clarksburg Sun, new
Democratic weekly. 1t is edited and
owned by Mr.. JOHN HoDGsoN, veteran
in the ranks, who did good service as
editor OF the W estchester Jeterson'dn
in Pennsylvania, and who is still full OF
ability and zeal. The Sm makes a
very handsome appearance and, If the
future issues are kept up to the high
standard assumed in this first number,
it will prove very valuable addition to
the Democratic press of the State. The
Democrats of Harrison and adjoining
counties owe it to themselves to give the
new paper cordial and generous sup
port.

THE STATE NOMINATIONS.

A correspondent this morning dep
recates the parcelliug out Of Judgeships
OF the Court of Appeals among the sew
eral Congressional Districts. OF course
there is no legal necessity for such a
distribution as has been generally pro.
posed by those who have talked OF the
matter and suggested names of candi-
dates. There is nothing in the law
that forbids the selection Of all the
Judges from the same district or from
the same county. The people are not
necessarily hampered by any local re-
strictions or territorial limits, but are
left free to utilize the best talent in the
State and put upon the Supreme Bench
the men best fitted for the position.
The fact cannot be lost sight Of, how
ever, that the citizens Of each particular
lection Of the State are apt to think
that they have il their own neighbour
hood the men best qualified for public
Office. They are apt to place more
confidence in their own acquaintance
aud friends, whose integrity they know
and whose capacity they have often
seen displayed, than in the citizens OF
other sections Of the State OF whose
qualifications for office they have only
an indefinite idea founded upon general
repute. TO harmonic these conflicting
views some compromise is necessary; a
compromise that usually results in se-
Letting the candidates from different
portions of the State, 30 that, although
each nav not receive all it desired,
each may receive some recognition Of
its claims.
There are four Judges OF the SUI
preme Court 10 be chosen. Each OF
the three Congressional Districts could
probably furnish as candidates for
these positions four gentlemen who are
well qualified and would constitute an
able and impartial and dignified Bench.
We are sure that this is the case in the
First District and have no doubt that
the other sections Of the State are
equally well supplied with good mate
rial. But in order to consult the views
and, as far as possible, crafty the wishes
of each section, it is proposed to dis
tribute throughout the State not only
the Judgeships but each of the other
offices in the gift Of the people. The
Convention will dougtless be guided by
this rule in making nominations. We
DO not believe that the character and
strength of the ticket should be sacrl-
feed to local considerations, nor do
we think there is any necessity for such
a sacrifice. Candidates from all por-
tons OF the State may be chosen and
the ticket still commend itself to the
people as excellent in all its parts
Such a ticket it should be the aim Of
the Convention to place in nomination
and we see no reason to doubt that ii
will be done.

The enemies OF the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad are making great
show Of imposing conditions upon
the subscriptions. Their real trouble
is, however, that there are too many
conditions" in the act Of the Legisla-
ture to suit them. The condition" that
the road shall have it's terminus and
depot on the east side of the Ohio river
is precisely what is the matter with
these gentlemen. If the road came no
farther than the Island everything
would be serene and the Council would
be strictly honest and reliable. Don't

The veice OF q working Man.

EQluOrS OF the Register:
Allow a workingmsn to say word
to the workingmeu of Wheeling on the
subject Of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad.
1t ia admitted by every one that we
need more railroads. The future pros
perity of our city imperatively demands
that we be put in direct communication
with other sections Of country. Those
sections traversed by railroads leading
in this direction, but not to this place,
would not contribute to our wealth and
prosperity to as great an extent as new
and undeveloped regions would do.
The Wheeling and Lake Erie rail-
road proposes to open up a section OF
country through which no road passes
in the same direction, thickly settled
with enterprising people and Astounding
in agricultural and mineral wealth,
which will, by the building of this road,
be made to contribute to the wealth Of
Wheeling, and of each OF US. If this
road does not come to Wheeling it will
be diverted to some other point on the
river. for line so important, and offer
ing such great inducements to capital
ists, is sure to be built. Then the peo-
pie of Wheeling have thrown away one
more opportunity Of making our city
what it might and ought to be-a great
manufacturing centre.
If we lose this road we will again see
flourishing and wealthy towns growing
up in sight of our city, whose wealth
would all have been invested in our
midst but for the blinded policy, or rather
selfish interest," Of our leading citizens"
The people of Wheeling, and especially
the laboring men, seeing when too late
their folly in killing the goose that laid
the golden egg, may lament "Ichabod-.
the glory has departed" and we as
workingmen had better depart also.
Vote for the subscription on the lst of
June. More if necessary.

and efficient officer and has performed

Should the Convention see fit to
nominate him, we have no doubt
that he will continue to discharge
the duties of the place in a
manner entirely acceptable to ali.
Under the Constitution, the Treasurer
is required to reside at the seat OF gov

teen Hundred Dollars year and the
cost OF living at Charleston is little
higher than in any other place in the
State, it will be readily seen that the emol
