A REPLY TO TIE RscULAPIAN AFORESAID.
Mir. Morrison denounced the opposition
10 Governor Jacob, the men who were
opposing him, and the Supreme Courts
decision, which backed up the ridiculous
Board Of Public Works act In bling
the Executive Of the power placed In his
hands by the Constitution. He favored
the payment OF the claim due 10 Mr..
Shallcross, because it was for honest labor
done and performed for the State and
brought in comparison with this righteous
bill some Of the monstrosities OF the P. p,
which the Legislature had been In The
habit OF gulping down without "a wink.
To retarn toDr1 Thompson again. The
Doctor took occasion to say that for the
conduct Of Gov. Jacob in refusing 10 rec
ognize the B. OF L. W., mar. Bridges, he
the Governor should have been impea ehs
ei and most. undoubtedly swonld haRel
been, but that they did not deem it erpe-
dent TO do so. 1 I T. IN
CHALLENGE DELIVERED.
To this Mr.. Morrison replied with a
bold, manly challenge to the gentleman
from Putnam. and through him TO the
world at large and the Legislature Of West
Virginia In particular, TO come on with
their articles ofimpeachment il they dared
II they thought the Governor had done
wrong IN anything the gentleman from
Putnam, said Mr.. Morrison, would soon,
very soon, have had his articles ready.
Truly 1t was inexpedient to impeach, said
Mr.. NJ. They had no notion otsTymg
the dangerous game Of impeachment.
The people dare youstoado anything, oil
the kind, and ayou, the destr6yen OF the
peoples rights, and squanderersS OF Der
taxes and lair fame will never impeach
Governor Jacob.
THEY SIT STILL.
To all this severe castieation, admin
istered by. Mr. Morrison, the member
from Putnam and even the valiant little
G. o. D. from Wheeling, par mobile fra.
trun, sat with sealed lips and rhinoceros
hides. No, said Morrison, this Is all
senseless bssysdo, 10 talk Of Impeachment,
and may d 10 tellto the mafines;' but
you dare not move peg towards carrying
out your foolish threat. And thus ended
the matter. ToMAHAwK.
