GAIT. II. A. DoHRMAN, of Steuben-
Vile, was an eighth owner in the
exploded steamer Oceanus, of the Red
river line. This line seems to be
doomed to disaster. Five out of six
boats in which Capt. D. is interested
have been destroyed recently-four
since the fret of January. The Jeffer-
son was burned in Red river; the Carrie
Converse was sunk at Bayou Sara,
Mississippi; the r. j. Lockwood and
Silver Bow were swept away BY the ice
freshet at St. Louis. and the Oceanus
was destroyed by boiler explosion at
Brooks Point, last Thursday morning

BUILD bridge and q railroad TO the
northwest and the population OF
Wheeling in 1880 will be not less than
10000. Without these facilities for
putting our city in the line OF progress
and prosperity, it will either stand still
or retrograde. Already our neishborS
are outstripping us in all that goes to
make up the wealth of community.
We need more energy, more OF the
spirit of progress more OF the courage
that commands success. There IS no
good reason why Wheeling may not
rival Pittsburgh in the future rs 1t
once did in the past, but to do so our
citizens must DO a. those of Pittsburgh
did, and invest their money in in
creasing their facilities FOR manuficrnr-
ing and trade.

FRED DOUGLASS made speech in the
Colored National Convention at New

The MtcNgcncsr is troubled because
the new Constitution is to take effect on
the day of its ratification. There is
really nothing very serious in the ohirc-
tion-nothiug worth making any fuss
about. The law recognizes no fractions
OF day. II the Constitution is rati-
fled at elk o'clock in the evening OF the
22d of August, it is ratified all that
day; II it is rejected, it IS rejected all
that day. II the act Of ratification is
complete at any hour on the 22i OF
August, the new Constitution will bc
legally in force during the whole day.
In the face OF the well known legal
maxim, it would have been absurd for
The Convention to fix any special boar
minute and second at which the new
Constitution ,hauld take effect 1t
could only fix the day not the hour.

The new Constitution meets With
general favor from those who have
examined its provisions. 1t must be
borne in mind that any general law OF
that nature must te the result OF COM
promise; that in State emhracin.
such diversity OF sentiment and interest
as West Virginia does, some concession
must be made by each section and each
class in order TO secure harmony and
general good. 1t was very appropri-
a,ely said by Mr.. PRICE at the close OF
the Convention that none of the mem
bers had gotten all they wanted. But
still, all things considered, the proposed
Constitution is vast Improvement upon
the present one and gives to each
citizen in every section Of
the State something that he
cannot have under the Constitution now
in force. lis substantial and valua-
bic improvement and lift does not en-
tirely fill the desire OF every citizen it
is because ofthe coutrariety OF opinions
and the conflict OF interests that exist in
West Virginia. The Convention has
done the best it could and has given ex.
preston to the average popular will
and we have no doubt that its work will
be ratified with an unanimity that
Radical partisans and croakers little
expect.

The first Ave including all the Republicans,
are just elected, and hold office until 1916; the
terms OF the other six expire in 1874. Tue
stated meetings commence on the first Tues
day in February March, and November, and the
Court may adjourn from time to time. The
new Court will meet for organization, on the
first Tuesday Of February. The Republican eug-
gests the election Of Serach f. Shallcross, OF st.
Georges, a. President, which would be a very
appropriate selection. The same paper also
says: I'VE look for a strict Observance OF the
law in all cases, extra attention to the assoc
ments, and also TO the expenditures which may
be required Committees should be appointed
to soc that the Clerk performs his duty faithful
ly. and that omis sons do not occur through
oversight or design"
These are very good suggestions. The Court,
we have no doubt, will faithfully strive to avoid
the errors Of which the people have lately had
such sad reason to complain, and we shall be
spared the spectacle OF prosecution by the U.

gross dereEction OF duty.

FUNERAL oBsEouIEs OF REEoE O. MooDY-A LARGE
cOHoouRsE OF PEOPLE.
The remains Of Reece G. Moody who died at
his late residence, 1ll7 Tatnall street, on the
night of the It'll inst, was inferred at the Will
miRgton and Brandywine cemetery, yesterday
afternoon.
The concourse of people attending the funeri
was one Of the largAst witnessed in this city for
many years, being at least two thousand persons
present, and the people at the cemetery, not in
the procession, swelling the number TO many
more.
The congregation and Sunday School OF Scott

most active members, attended the funeral in a
body The societies OF Odd Fellows and Knights
Of Pythias, Of which he was also member, at
tended in bodies the former society numbering

AN ALARMING SPREAD OF THE DIsEAsE-NEAR ONE
HUNDRED NEW CASES sIECE SATURDAY.
There is no doubt that the disease prevailing
among horses, is spreading in this city at an
alarmingly rapid rate, but, as yet, nc fatal cases
have occurred. In two cases, however, we are
INFORMED this morning, the disease will most
probably have fatal effect. One Of these horses
belongsto Jacob Pussy, and the other to Dr.
Harry Garrett. Since our report Of Saturday, we
have knowledge Of eighty-iour new cases, and
there are, perhaps, as many more, that owners
refuse to acknowledge being attacked.
In McMullin d Seals stables, on French street
the horses are in an improving condition, and
the same may be said Of nearly all the other
stables reported attacked at the outbreak of the
disease.
AT the city railway stables, on Saturday even
ing about eight O'Clock, horse was taken sick.
and i'll less than an hour, the disease had spread
over almost the entire stable. This morning,
this company have twenty horses and fourteen
mules, attacked. The cars, in consequence will
run only every half hour, to-day, and the proba-
bihtg is that by tomorrow, all the cars will be
Withdrawn. In case Of rain falling to-day, such
measures will be Immediately taken.
The horses Of Adams Express Co., have es-
capped the plague, until this morning. when one
horse was attacked.
At the stable Of Morris weldie, sixteen more
| horses have been attacked, and at Kirkman d
| livery, three more; at the White Horse Hotel
| one, and at the Back Horse, two new cases.
Hartmann q Fehrenbach report four horses
sick, and are using OK teams to their wagons.
Six Of Philip McDowelrs horses have been at
tackled, one Of I. Il. Robnsons, and several
more belonging to parties On the West side OF

FAIR AND COOL VIEW OF TIE MATTER.
The Reading Eagle, of Friday, discusses the
attempted intimidation of that city by the Phila-
delphiA and Reading Railroad corporation, say
ing
The demand of Mr.. Gowep that the city shall
rescind it's action withdraw its objections 70 the
use Of Front street. give the Residing road the
right TO use the same, and put down the tracks
which were taken up by express direction OF
Councils. should be viewed very deliberately
from the standpoint OF honor, fair dealing, and
the real interests OF Reading. In regard to the
point that the managers OF the Reading road,
would continue their shops here merely to ben
eft the citizens OF Reading when 1t Ia not TO the
advantage OF that corporation, Is an insult 70
the intelligence and business capacity OF Mr..
Gowen and bis assistants, whom We believe to
be able man, doing all they can for the welfare
Of their company. .l-
Whether Councils we're right or wrong in di-
recting the tearing up Of the tracks Of ths Read
ing road on Front street, we do not express an
opinion, for this question will be decided In the
courts, to which decision all must submit. But
that the Phila- a r. Railroad Company commit
ted an act to arouse the citizens OF Reading, BY
sending large force OF men. in the night, 70
take Possession OF the street and lay down its
tracks, without cOndescending to ask the con-
sent Of the city, will not admit OF discussion. II
one street can be 90 possessed by the Railroad
Company without the consent OF Councils, then
every street in Reading can be taken posseslon
Of In the same way.
That the p. 4 r. Railroad Company ia Of
large advantage to Reading no reasonable man
has any doubts, and a. proof OF this apprecia-
ton Of these advantages by the citizens, we re-
fer to the facts that the trains Of this road are
allowed to run through the city, almost every
hour Of the day, much faster than the law will
permit that We suffer our streets TO be block
Aded by the cars Of the Company, greatly to the
detriment and discomfort of our citizens that
in order to encourage the Company in enlArging
it's shops and increasing it's revenues, We do not
open the streets where many Of the citizens re-
directly through our Councils, thousands OF dol
lars for the building Of bridges and otherwise
aiding this Company, and many other things are
done by Councils and the citizens which show
that Reading is not hostile 10 this Company"
