A Committee was appointed IN the
House Of Delegates on yesterday, to In
yestigate charge that had been made
spsinst the officers Of the State who con-
Gol the money, to the effect that they
were realizing certain per cent. OF In.
,erest on the State deposits. In excess oil
those reported, &C, &c: am told that
one Of the banks OF this. city own up to
some kind a contract TO that effect. The
committee Is OF work gathering up evid.
ences and until they make their report
| will say no more about the charges, for
the reason that the Auditor and Treasur-
er are gentlemen for whom l have high
respect, and / do not wish to prejudge
the case, particularly against them.
The bill proposing. 70 annex Braxton
county to the First. Congressional Dis.
lrist, which passed. the Senate several
weeks since, died. o hard death In the
House this morning. The object Of the
bill was clearly to make. the Let District
positively Democratic, as Braxton county
gives about four hundred Of Democratic
majority. The Sd District could easily
spare Braxlon and still be Democratic,
while the LIST District has been considered
always as doubtful. ,.,-.r-.--- .,,...
Morrison, the Delegate from Braxton,
made o strong argument, against the bill,
and in which he took occasion to inform
the Bourbons that II Braxton was cut OF
from the Sd District she would cut OH
from the Democratic party. He made
use Of the census and proved that the LET
District already had nearly 900 more
spopulation than thei3d District, and
iithey add Braxton to the let District that
iiwould increase the difference to nearly
10000. Fossiliferous Thompson from
Putnam was the champion OF the Pill,
and Morrison swallowed him up like
Smith eating peanuts. Igot the points ol
MOrrisons speech and. will give them IN
my next letter. The vote stood 81 70 ~
