lcEsoa; Circuit Court, Judge Smith
County Court, Judge HindmRn; Justice
Court, Squire Brodt; and Police Court,
Mayor Snyder. Taking all these courts
together, with the jurymen, which arc

ntrsons. All the hotels are iull; andsthe
nrlys,e boarding houses are also filed
Charleston is, therefore filled up and run.
mig over with visitors.
Judge jackson, District Attorney Golf
and Clerk Moore arrived on the noon
train today, and will open court in the
Capital building tomorrow morning.
The regular fall term OF tho Court should
have been held on the 10Th Of September,
bn, Tor some reason known only TO the
Judge, II was adjourned over 10 the 10th
Of this month. ---
am informed by Marshal Slack that a
Young man by the name of George w.
E.hriuG, charged with abstractng $3.50
from two registered letters at ,Greenbrier
bridge, about three months ago, will be
tried at tliis3terlno f the Court he was
arrested by Capt john Frey, q detective
for the Postofilcc Department, end some
300 of the money recovered. lie does
not deny tho crime and will doubtless
throw himself upon the mercy Of the
Court. There Is not much doubt about
his spending few years at Albany IN.
Y)prison. The Court will probably con.
time in session ten days, .'
THE CAPITAL. QUESTION 3 d
all the talk today on the Streets and
smOng nearly everybody. In my opinion
Charleston stands on q trembling margin.
II, is admitted that tho House, of Delegates
has no more 10 do with the question, and
the fight, therefore, 10 10 the Senate.
Noses have been counted by both sides,
and it stands as follows: For removal
Messrs. Cunningham, Jacob Price, Hall,
Caldwell, Johnson, Camden, Scott, Ben.

Against removal-bIcssrs. Vawter Dick.

will not vote either way, while MIR.
McClasky stands "in q strait between

question, and wants 1t let alone; but he is
a representative Of the interests OF the
University, and can't escape u vote
either oneNwaylor the other The Third
District Senators affirm that they
cannot support him In procuring his APP
preparation unless he will stand by the In.
lerests OF this district. Aud on the other
hand, the same threats arc made by Sena.

that he will 60. for removal. This will

mCut, From present indications, | am
frankly Of tho opinion that it will be re-
moved; but if one Senator changes over,
then, Of course. 1t will remain where il
now is. .... ..a.
THE BETHANY APPROPRIATION
is in danger Of being repealed before the
adjournment. On Saturday, when the
bill was read. the first time in the Sen.
ale, Mr., Cunningham moved TO inlefi-
ntely postpone II, and 1t was lost by a
vote of 10 to Z. This is q pretty correct
thermometer of,its coming fate in the
Senate. 1t may he, however, that Che
House will refuse 10 act omit even'should
it be repealed by the Senate. Mr.. Gun.
ningham, who by the way is one OF the
hes! men III the Senate, made strong
speech against the bill, and II 1t should
carry, it will be over his solemn protest,
and alter every inch Of ground has been

On Saturday the Senate passed the
House bill authorizing the Governor TO
bring suit against FL. 8. Walker for.cvetT:
charges as public printer, and appro-
ptisling $4,000 for expcnses., Theymade1
asmall amendment 10 tho bill, which re-
quires II 10 60 back 10 the House. The
amendment was trivial one, and the
House will undoubtedly concur in 1t be-
!oTe ii adiourns. This brings the print

THE ROAD LAW.
The House OF Delegates has passed the
Conference Committees report ona road
law. ThGlaw as passed Is briefly mis-:
Every male between the ages Of III and
5Oytnrs arc required to work two days
each year on the roads, or pay So 90 cash;
aud hcCouniy Courts are empowered TO
levy tax upon persons or property, or
both, il the two days work arc insufficient
to keep tho roRds 10 good repair. The law
ia bad one, in my humble opinion, ]
will give my objections in q future letter.
THE THIRD LETTING j,
Of the contract for tie Pu6IlG Printing
has been advertised by tho Printing Com.
Miss!Oncrs. Tho Governor has twice re-
fused to approve the award made to II.
5 Walker, who In both instances has
been the lowest bidder, on, tho grounds
lha, lie did hot consider him q reliable
bidder. The Legislature Is now at work
Qua hw-which, II passed, will take the
matter out OF tho Governors power. 81
