CHARLESTON, March 3, 1873.
COL B. II. Smith has been out two
DAYS with his heavy buffalo OVershOes,
heavy overcoat and seal skin collar on,
what time he could stand It 10 be out,
looking for "blue birds and roses" 1t is
a little late in the season Tor tbcm-they
usually comtSin February. But the Col.
Is not to be defeated, and on his tramp
around found some, but they evidently
were collected in climate bordering on
the irigid zone, as they were in chilly
Condition-not TO say frozen. The tenn
perature oil the weather here the last
iorty. eight hours has been very low-the
coolest Of the season. The natives all
say /, has been an extraordinary hard
winter, and has led to such dissatisfaction
that the Hon. Mcmillan, from Doddridge,
Is talking Of introducing bill to change
the grounding day" from February I'd
to December I'd, in order to have "peren-
ial spring" come in season.
The Senate on Saturday last, passed the
following resolution introduced by Judge
Camden, raising Committee, which
looks likeil there was some uneasiness
still existing, Us to the congressional Cleo
ton held last August.
"RsOIUed, That special Committee,
consisting Of five, be appointed to inquire
what action should be taken by the Leg
stature to secure 10 the STATE OF West
Virginia It's representation in the House
Representatives OF the 43d Congress Of
the United States on the 4sh day OF the
present month"
Camden made speech In favor OF the
resolution taking strong ground against
the Governor for not issuing his GER
tifcate to the Oct candidates, which he
said he had refused to recognize. His
speech was menacing argument towards
Gov. Jacob, and will be calculated TO
cause some clashing between the Execu-
tive and the Legislative departments oil
Government 1t has oozed out recently,
that the enemies Of Gov. Jacob had been
seriously entertaining the proposition Of
impGaching him, and certain distingu-
lshrd Attorneys and ex.Judges had
thought the proposition feasible, and but
for the present disOrganiZed condition Of
the hNrd.shell Democracy, the impeach-
ment no doubt would have been COM
menCed, the President Of tho Senate ap-
pointed on Camden's Committee the fol-
lowing members W., Camden, Blakemore,
Shelton, Eastman and Bishop, who arc to
have meeting this evening, ard II
i5 understood in well informed quar-
lers that tho services Of the At
uruCy General will again be need.
cd. | should not be surprised that II the
raising Of this Committee Is looking 10
,ha, direction. What a machine tho run.
terrified" expect to make out Of the NJ
tOrney General, can only be told by the
perplexing questions that are proposed to
be referred to him; but 1t Is generally
conceded that Mr.. Matthews is rather an
independent man, and will not be apt to
follow the dictNtion Of the moss covered
gentlemen who arc not satisfied with the
present status Of our Congressional cleo
ton, nor Of the probability Of none Of the
October candidates being admitted to
seats in the 4Sd Congress.
What trouble ]. J. Davis and the Graf.
Ion Convention have brought about In the
happy family" eau only be seen by
watching closely the action OF the West
Virginia Legislature. They already have
wasted more than two weeks time Of this
session, and made themselves the butt
and ridiCule Of the whole country, by
undertaking TO instruct the House OF Rep.

they should recognize as elected in this
State to Congress, but then such Is the
situation Of affairs under the new COnsti-
tuIIou, with Legislature largely Demo-
cratic.
There was regular confession latter
the minister had leit) to-day In the Senate
over the passage or adoption Of tho re.
port Of the conference committee on the
Jury bill, A motion was made 10 recon-
slider, and on that motion two or three
Senators made their confession OF ignO-
rance as to what 1t really contained. UE
10 the hour Of adjournment the motion
did not prevail, so you sec the situation |!
Something,like ihis-now you see II, anC
now you don't see 1t. This bill was com
petely locked between the two House!
several days ago, the House wanting
drawn Jurors and the Senate wanting the
Sheriff TO select his own Jurors from thu
whitlGrs that lay around the county sea-
on Storeboxes, ever ready to answer suct
demands every court day. Finally {
