immaculate Democrats will not be
guilty OF OF such conduct. Oh! Of
course not. Certainly notl We will
have q better school law than we
now have; and the present Radical road
law, so oppressive upon the poor people,
will be supplanted by one rejecting the
true Democratic idea. One that will
bear alike upon all classes. Such a one

The Printing Frauds investigation came
up again to-day and after few speeches
the question was rathersupmarily dispos.
ed OF. Last night the Democrats held .
caucus in the Hall Of the House, at which
Dir. Walker and Judge. Ferguson, his
counsel, were present. .(Wonder II Fer

wrote him up in the Wheeling Register
about STEALING carpet bag" At this
meeting It was determined 10 pass reso.

Attorney General Matthews requiring
him to report to the House on the 18th Of
March, whether suit should be instituted
against Mr.. Walker In the civil courts Of
the State, and thus get the responsibility
shifted from the House on to the shoulders
of the Attorney General. &r. Wooded,
of Pocahontas, was thereupon deputed To-

resolution out Of order, he moved to lay
the whole thing on the table. The yaeS

offered his resolution as a substitute, and
of course the Speakeriruled It out Of order,

table would have been voted down, and
Wooddell's resolution referring the ques.

have been adopted, and he In turn would
have put It in his pocket and that would
have been the end of It, Right here let
me say that Bradford Is tho 1lrst Demo

absent, the vessel was withouta rudder,
