CHARLESTON, Dec. Is.
Editors OF the Register.
There has been but very little OF In.
terest transporting at the Permanent
Seat for the past two days. The legis.
lature has had but very little OF any
public moment before it since l last
wrote. They have passed a bill in rels'
ton to "pizen," to prevent Dauseous and
offensive substances being thrown
into cisterns, springs, brooks or
branches of running water and many
other acts oflke character. The great
curse Of this State is the local legisla-
ton. II a matter cannot:be reached by
q general, law it should not be reached
at all. l am pleased to say that our
delegation have very generally ignored
this sort OF legislation and have de-
manded almost invariably that acts OF
a general uature alone should be passed.
The bill for the relief oil Thomas
P Shalcross, John II. Showalter and
others tor taking care OF the Peniten-
tiarv during the "Modoc War" passed
the House by a vote of % to % after
a very acrimonious fight. It's fate in
the Senate Is very uncertain.
The bill to annex Braxton county to
the First District was killed as dead as
q hammer in the House today, even q
motion to reconsider not receiving votes
enough 10 entille its supporters to q
respectiul hearing on the floor OF the
House. The manner in which the
First District has been treated in this
matter, has created the inteusest iRdlg-
nation among the Delegates and Sena.
tors from that portion OF the State, and
the brood of ould-be.Congressmen
from this region. and they are thicker
than frogs in Egypt, to whose
efforts ia mainly due the
defeat OF the proposition, have been
warned thst the Democracy OF The
State has suffered enough already from
their interference and that It is posi-
HE that if they want to make war OF
sections, they can be accommodated.
There are some Of these fellows with
moss an inch thick GU their backs, who
invariably oppose any measure that has
a tendency to benefit Wheeling or the
First Congressional District. Take DR..
Thorn pson, OF Putnam, as specimen
OF these fossils. He makes no conceal
mept of his hostility TO Our interests and
would sacrifice his personal interests at
any time to "do US dirt" Trouble will
crow out of this measure yet ,
The question OF removing the capital
is PLAYED out for the present. The
friends of removal were confident OF
success on Tuesday morning. Every
thing looked propitious and it was pro,
posed to push the matter through and
take the capital to some point where
neople could hear what was being done
by their delegates in less than three
weeks after it has been DONE when 6
note was received by General A. J. Pan
mel from Senator Blskemore, OF the
Hampshire District. announcing tina!
be had backed square out and would
not vote for removal. AS this lett the
Senate evenly divided, twelve for and
twelve against any action looking to-
wards removal OF the capital, nothing
has been done. 1t looks very much
now as if nothing would or conld be
done this session. In the language o
"a profane but emphatic delegate III
'"deader nhell" for this session.
