The CanttaI Question.

The following preamble and resolu-
ton were adopted by the people of Tay'
lor county at a meeting held in Grafton
last Tuesday:
WHEREAS, The question of the perma'
rent location of the Caoltal o. this
State has, for several years past, greatly
disturbed, and still continues to agltate
the minds OF the people; and.
WHEREAS, II is a well ascertained
TACT, that the financisl and numerical
strength of the State lies along and north
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad F;
and
WHEREAS, 1t is desirable that tine
State Legislature, at its ensuing session,
should have this vexed question finally
disposed OF by locating the Capital at
some place more easily approached
and convenient to the majority Of our
citizens than Charleston is. Therefore,
Resolved, That we urge upon the
citizens OF all the counties interested,
the importance of impressing deeply
upon the minds of their respective dele
gates to the Legislature, their desire
that early and decided action should
be taken by the Legislature Of the State,
on the above suggestions.

WEST VIRGINIA.

Complete returns from twenty-one
counties show a Republican gain OF
2379 over the vote on the new Constr
tuition, which was adopted by about
1900 majority; leaving about2lOO to be
overcome in the remaining thirty-three
counties. The greater portion Of the
counties not yet officially heard from
are in the Third District. Partial re-
turns from some OF these show Repub
Iican gains, but it is az yet nearly an
even question as to which OF the two
parties has carried the State. The
majority will be very small on either
side, and several dave must vet elapse
before the result is known.

TIE absence Of the morse power from
several OF the Eastern cities, occasioned
BY the prevailing distemper, has natur-
ally turned the attention Of people to
the substitution OF stesm "a q motive
power upon city railways, and expert
ments are being made in the construc
ton of engines to reach that end. The
present dummies are too heavy, cum
bersome and unsightlv. They will not
do for city service. But they can easily
be improved, and will be when de-
mand for such engines is once started,
In New Orleans street engine has been
tested, the steam chest Of which
is filed at each end Of the route
and the supply will run the
trip without any replenishiug. No
fire is needed, and there is neither
smoke, sparks nor cinders. II this eS-
pertinent stands the test Of use, such
cars will be we'll adapted for city use.
But even If steam has to be generated
during the trips, the fire can he so
hooded by ingenious appliances as to
render it almost entirely uuobjection-
able. When this point is reached the
greatest obstacle is overcome. AS to
the effect of dummies upon horses, that
is q mere temporary matter, which
should not be suffered to stand 10 the
way Of great public improvement.
The subject is one that should COM
mand general attention, with a view Of
iuauguratiug the era of steam power in
relation to the city passenger railways.

THE BOSTON FIRE.

Our dispatches this morning record
the favages OF another conhagration
that is scarcely inferior in destructive
ness to that which desolated Chicago
one year ago. This time the city OF
Boston is the sufferer. The most VAL
liable business portion Of the city is
DESTROYED. The area burned over is
not 90 great as that by the Chicago fire.
but the streets were narrower, the build
iugs more compact, the blocks were
generally Of more expensive character
and stored with costly goods, 90 that II
seems quite probable that the total loss
will not fall far below that inflicted by
the great fire in the West. Probably
the money value Of the property de-
stroyed is not less than Two Hundred
Millions OF Dollars.
There was intense anxiety yesterday
to learn the news concerning the pro-
press of the flames Our dispatches
furnish only the outline; details and
particulars will come more slowly. The
narrow and crowded streets OF Boston
have doubtless hindered the effective
working Of the fire department. and the
malsdy that has d sabled the horses
prevented the removal OF goodsto places
OF safety. Owing to these two facts IT
will probably be found that the loss OF
life has been unusual Y great, on account
of the personal risks the fremep and
the owners OF property were compelled
"a undergo.
This loss will doubtless prove very
DISASTROUS one to many OF the Eastern
insurance companies. Several OF the
most prominent were severely shaken
by the Chicago fire and have Lot yet
fully recovered from the effects OF that
blow. They are in poor condition to
endure with safety repetition Of the
assault go soon. None Of our local
companies, we believe are involved In
the present loss

The members of the diplomatic
corps at Washington City called in q
body at the White House last Friday
and congratulated the President on his
reelection. This was done at the sug>
gestion Of Secretary FlsH, but the d'-
plomats are profoundly mortified at
learning that the President is not actu-
ally reelected yet. and that only cleo
tors have been chosen who have an un-
doubted constitutional right to cast their
votes for whomsoever they may prefer.
1t is not absolutely necessary for the
electors to vote for GRANT.

A Few Candidates.

From the Clarksburg SUM-
PRESIDENT OF TIE SENArE.-A COM
munication in a recent number OF the
Wheeling REGISTER recommends the
Hon. r. G. Gustou, OF the eastern
section OF the State, as a proper person
to select for President oil the Senate.
Locality gives preference to the selec-
ton OF Mr. Custom, and upon that score
we would urge the proper consideration
OF the Senate; but that alone would
tall tar short of the commentator we
would wish to en- 'orce Mr. Custom is
eminently fitted for the post on, and
his election to the responsible position
would reflect credit upon the Senate and
the State. We say this in no dIsparage-
ment to others.
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF DELE
GArEs.-Several gentlemen OF high
standing have ben spoken OF tor
Speaker of the House OF Delegates,
bat without disparagement to others,
we hope that the worthy and d'stn-
guished delegate from the county OF
Barbour, Thomas A. Bradford, Esq ,
may be called to that high and impor-
tant position. He is a gentleman OF
hish character and standing, a lawyer
of great ability, a man OF education
and general Intelligence, and in every
respect well qualified for the place.
He is a st sadtast and urtlinching Dem
ocrat, and a whole souled, kind, gem
erous and accomplished gentleman, and
it elected will grace the chair and give
general satisfaction to the members and
public.
CLERK OF THE HOUSE OF DGLFGATES.
Our county man Beverly H Lurty,
ESQ. is a candidate for this office. We
are certain that better appointment
could not be made. He is an excellent
reader, WAS raised in clerks office,
and in every way well qualified for the
Office, and we trust that it will be con-
terred upon him.
SERGEANT AT ARMs.-We respect
fully suggest the name OF VIM. NJ. Pat
ton, E-q., of this county, "a proper
person to fiji the post of S.rgeant- at
Arms, OF the State >enate. We make
the suggestion without consultation
with Mr.. Patton on the subject, and
simply because we think that better
or more efficient officer would be hard
to find anywhere.

THE Berkeley Union thinks that the
people Of West Virginia ought to ce'e.
brate the approaching Thanksgiving
Day with peculiar fervor in view of the
fact that they will not be annoyed by
any more elections for two years to
come. A new Legislature will be chosen
1874 and will elect an United States
Senator to succeed Mr.. FOREMAN. Four
years hence. however, will probably
witness even greater political excite-
ment than that we have just passed
through. Let us be thankful for the
respite.

By Mr.. Bieman, bill to authorize aliens to

By Mr.. Corbin, bill to amend section l6s of

COLUMBIA, 8. c., February l3.
The only feature of general interest In the
legislative proceedings, to-day, was the pas
sage to third reading Of the House bill to re-
lieve the State of Its guarantee of the Blue
Ridge bonds, which was accomplished by a
vote of 80 to 19, and is equivalent to Its final
passage by the House, inasmuch as the debate
upon any measure is practically confined to
Its second reading, and the third reading is
purely matter of form. The nature Of It's
reception by the Senate is still, Of course, a
matter of doubt; but that body has shown In
more cases than one Its remarkable facility
for the sumersault business, and there Ia no
Knowing after all but that the bill may pass:
In the Senate, this morning, there was also
a little sensation in the shape of petition
from f r various bondholders in New York, pray
Ing for the acceptance of the funding scheme,
mentioned sometime ago In this correspon:
dence, as proposed by Mr.. Wesley. of the
Union Trust Company, New York. The
netilion was brought to Columbia by Mr..
Wesley, who is In town for few days looking
after the Interests Of this device, and s as fol.

rate OF seventy i've per cent. OF the par value OF
said bonds: provided, that In any law creating
such registered stock as prayed for by your pell-
tioners there shall be provision made for per.

ana create reasonable sinking fund therefor,
and also provide 10 the same statute thar the

This petition is slgned by eighty-two firms,
