The birthplace Of this promised party was
left to the inventive braius Of anxious Office
seekers for location. 1t perhaps was too
much to expect that these papers, dazed by
the brilliant gCnCTalities Of the Idea they dis

break meek race Of speculation to even hint
where this new political star, which was to
guide all parties, should arise in all the glory Of

Shooting ARRAY In RrAXton.

We have learned the particulars OF
the shooting affrsy in Braxton, which
are about as follows: Absalom Rifle,
an old man, some years ago was iudic'
ted for dstiling whiskey. Several at.
tempts had been made to arrest him
but without success. 1t was attempted
again a Jew days ago, and Rifle. being
on the alert, and seeing the marshal
and guard advancing, took his gun in
hand and made for the woods. He was
ordered to halt, and refusing, several
shots were fired, one taking effect.
Rifle then ordered them to halt, and
said he wonld shoot the fret man that
advanced. The marshal then took the
back track. surprising it was fatal
blow. Rifle staid in the woods for
several hours and then went TO the
house Of o neigh Dor. DR.. DAWSON was
called in and extracted the ball. II had
entered the point of his chin, following
the bone OF the lower jaw to the angle,
then passing down the neck to the cole
lar bone, and lodging Immediately over
the large veins and arteries, from where
it was extracted. He is now dong very
well and says that every dog has bis

The Capital Question.
From the Martinsburg Statesman.

From the MAJ tlnsDurg 5taeeslnan'
MEssRs EDS 1t may have slipped
your notice. but it is matter
| of supreme Importance to the people OF
West Virginia, whether under all the
circumstances of the case, Charleston
should remain the permanent capital OF
the State. II mistake not, the &ates-
man was at one time in favor OF tho
removal to some point more accessible
to the people, possessing facilities OF
rapid communication and withal free
from those rigorous embargoes which
the people of Charleston so often endure.
Added to this is the fact that the 10
cation of the capital at Charleston was
brought about by very questionable
means. II not questionable it
was at leas. accomplished by the cast
ing of but a single majority vote. Ina
matter of such paramount Importance
to the people OF West Virginia, the will
OF the people should have been certain-
" and Enthusiastically expressed, and by
majority decisive in its character. The
vote locating the capital at Charleston
was in itself the best evidence that the
people were not ready to pass upon 80
i'm portant question and beside this
the people we're n0trepreSentsd in the Leg
islative body that determined the
question. Radical prescription at that
period WAS in full and active operation,
and fully 10000 people OF the State
had no representation in its legislative
halls.
It's very certain that until the ques-
tiou OF a permanent location shall be
settled by decisive majority vote it
will be constantly agitated by the peo-
ple-and further, unless Charleston can
by some rapid measures place itself in
direct and certain communication with
the entire State the public business will
be constantly retarded and the interests
of the people always jeopsrdized. As
a citizen OF the State, the writer OF this
communication, along with many others
having business with the several
Il
departments OF the State government,
have been greatly incommodea by the
uncertain transit OF letters, and commu-
nication is at all times precarious, es-
pecially during the winter months.
In view OF ell the difficulties, present
and prospective, with no assurance that
lines OF public Improvements will rem
edy the inconvenience for many years
to come, | believe that the present leg
islature should not adjourn until they
have located the capital Of the State at
some more convenient and accessible
point. Let the final and permanent To-
cation be adjourned to some future
time-say ten years hence, but let it be
located now at some point that can be
reache ed at all seasons OF the year with
olt difficulty by the people OF all parts OF
the State. INDEX.

TIE New York Sun remarks that the
recent decision Of the Supreme Court
in Pennsylvania "is in the teeth OF the
long established and received doctrine
respecting the power o! Constitution
al Convention. That power is univer-
sally held to be superior to that OF the
Legislature. The Convention immedi-
ately represents the people in their SOW
ereign capacity; and lift chooses it has
the right, instead of submitting its work
TO the verdict OF an election, 10 put it
directly in force without regard to the
existing Legislature or courts. This
doctrine, however, the Supreme Court
OF the State now attempts to overthrow
and this is done in the interest Of the
most villainous set Of public plunder-
ers yet discovered in this country" 1t
Is announced, however, upon what ap.
pears to be good authority, that Chief
Justice AGNEw who delivered the opin-
ion OF the court, is in favor of the aGop-

political friends as well as his Demo-
cratic opponents by his appointments
to the chairmanships OF important
committees in the House. The Credit
Moblier scandal and the back pay
have both been ignored by him in the

popular Indignation excited by these
shameless frauds has been passed by as
unworthy OF regard. Members OF con.

proach by reason OF their completely in
these robberies are still deemed by Mr..
BLAINE worthy OF appointment to posi-
tons of great responsibility and
trust, and in no single instance has con-
nection with the frauds that disgraced
the Forty-second Congress been consid.
cred by Mr.. BLAINE as worthy of re.
buke. The men who were partners
with CAKES AMEs are reappointed to
control important committees, and an
apparently studied effort has been made
to organize the committees in the in-
terest Of the rings and the jobbers, and
thus open the door for repetition of the
abuses Of the past, If Speaker BLAINE
expects in this manner to improve his
prospects for the Presidency, he has
reckoned without his host.

The New York Tribune gives the
philosophy Of Mr.. Williams appoint
ment to the Chief Justiceship, and how
it more particularly concerns the
South:
''The South. which, in the Executive
sense, means the clamorous and greedy
politicians.of both colors who have SO
long plundered the country, would
greatly prefer representative in the
C,binet to a place on the Bench. The
Caseys and Durells, and their congo
ners in other States, will be highly
gratified to reflect that some one in
sympathy with them is in charge of
the Presidents conscience in the Attor-
ney Generals Office. And in the pres
ent case they really have the advar-
tage of both places, for now they / av
ne Chief Justice always with them
Judge Williams has never failed during
his term Of Office as Attorney General
to satisfy any requisi ion which the
President has made upon HIM tor
opinions to sustain that shameful re-
gime of fraud and usurpation under
which SO many Southern communities
are suffering. Harmony is now secured
between the legal departments of the
Government, at the two end. Of the
Avenue, and "the South" ought to be
happy. AL this is secured at but tri-
fling eyrense-a little further lowering
of the tone Of the public SERVICE
Judge Brstow is not much below the
average of the Cabinet, and is one of
tho - tru worthy and unquestioning
servants which the President likes to
have about him. Judge Williams is ii
lawyer of good character ard rcspecta-
BILE talents, who owes his position ex-
clusively to political tact and sagacity.
He would never have attained promi-
nence anywhere but in a new country :
but he still is not so objectionable a
choice as Gen. Grant might easily have
made. Most people are inclined to be
glad it is no worse.
This IS deplorable state of feeling,
| showing an indolent aaquiescence
which is not far from fa:alism. Bnt it
is not illogical. If people are satisfied
with Gen. Grant for President, they
ought not to complain Of Williams as
| Chief Justice.
