CHARLESTON, November 80, 1872.
Very little was done in either branch
Of the Legislature to-day. In the
House q resolution was offered BY Mr..
Knots, to abolish the Office OF County
Superintendent of Free Schools. Quite
a number of the members have been in-
structed by the people to vote for the
abolition OF this Office, but why, and
for what reason they dssire to discon'
tinue it, has never been stated. From
what l can learn in conversation with
the members on the subject of free
schools, there will be a determined ef-
| fort on the part Of some, to make rad
ical changes in the present system, 80
az to make it unpopular and inefficient.
Mr.. Bridges offered resolution on
the same subject, which will certainly
| not meet with much appreciation from
the friends of our present school sys-
TEN, more especially the people OF
Wheeling. The resolution was to in
ouire into the expediency of abellshlng
all independent echool districts in the
State. The resolution was referred to
the Committee on Education, who, no
doubt, will report adversely.
The Senate holds midday sessions
now. It meets at twelve o'clock and
adiourns at one. Mr.. Eastman offered
bill to-day providing for the letting
out of al public printing and binding to
the lowest bidder. The bill also pro-
vides that the Auditor, Treasurer and
State Superintendent Of Free Schools
shall constitute commission to have
full charge and supervision over all
matters appertaining to and in con.
nection with the public printing. The
bill was ordered to be printed. This
will give every man in the State, who
owns q hand press ard q case OF type,
an opportunity Of getting immensely
rich (?) in q couple Of years. Since l
am on this subject, let me add en- pas
SAINT that the report Of the Printing In
yes,igstion Commission is being printed
and will make seventy or eighty pages
1t will be mighty interestin readln' to
another party who has done work for
the State 10 that line OF business be-
sides Mr.. Walker.
WILL 1T BIZ DoNE'
The prospects for the removal OF the
CAPITAL look better and brighter now
than at any time since the assembling
of the Legislature. The "agitators," as
they are called, held a caucus in the
Senate Chamber last night which was
largely attended. The Parkersburg
folks had proposition to offer, which
was in every particular as liberal as
Wkeeling's, and it was feared at one
time the whole movement would prove
a complete 6zzle, owing to q rupture
which seemed imminent between the
friends OF the contesting points. This
has been Cbarleston's hope, but it has
vanished. Psrkersburg withdrew her
proposition and "clasped hands across
the bloody chasm' with Wheeling, so
it will be a square fight between the
two points. 1t is DOW admitted on all
sides that Wheeling's offer will be &C
cepted in the House, the rub" being
in the Senate. Charleston claims thir-
teen Senators sure. which is enough to
defeat the proposition, if they can mus
ter that strength, but as to that there is
a great difference of opinion. 1t will
doubtless be tight squeeze either way.
The bill tor removal will be introduced
in the House on Monday or Tuesday.
