Wheeling is now seem :ngly on q
big bender-one would Judge that il
she has ever been guilty Of anything
she should be SO Try for-she is will
ing to be forgiven. In fact, she en-
tertains no bad feelings against her
sister city of Charleston for having
| gobbIed from her the permanent seat.
As an evidence of the truth of this
statement, when gentleman from
the Sd Congressional District arrives
at the depot, he IL met by a ''smile

is then placed in his little bed. in
the morning he wakes with pain in
his head and ray of sunshine in his
heat, to rec re that the citizen as
well az the Capitol has been capture
the city fell, and so did the citizen.
In loo,lg over the l. =, lcture we
see in the lower House, in the main,
a young and vigorous body of men,
with more than the average amount
o. Intelligence, each individual OF
them seeking to subserve the inte:-

has the honor to represent.
There ale already Bills enough in

usual amount of patriotic discus

passed, this Legislature cannot pos

The Senate is composed OF grave,
sedate and intellectual set of men,
many of whom would impress look
er on with the idea that they had
been run over their distance and that
a great amount of Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup and the conserve OF
Holly Hook will be necessary TO re-
iuvenate them to their original stand
ing. There is said to be but one man
in either branch of the Legislature
who spells God with little "g."
There are many distinguished men
here from different parts of The State
among them tie Hon. Charles j.
Faulkner and his unning mate Hon.
H. G.. Davis. They are both seeking
senatorial flashes Of comic, from The
assembled uOdy of solons.
L ie Impeachment question is now
under discussion, and Hon. James
Mason of Jeffel son led off in speech
which was well delivered, which
gave evidence of much study and dis
played considerable learning. Mason
is an indefatigable worker and an IL
yep c133ible politician, and thele is no
telling where GOOD luck and en- IN

The impeachment question has
assumed a funny attitude to a dis

of Dow, Juniors descriptions, where
he says 1--WE can and we can't; we

The position of the Republicans on
this question is akin TO that of the
fellow who stepped in to part man
and his wife who were fighting. No
sooner had he taken hold of the bel
ligerents than they ceased fighting
each other and united in an assault
upon him. He was non-plnssed and
discomfitted, and retreating to cor
ner of the room propped himself
against the wall and made up his
mind to take whatever might come.
