member of the late Congress. in which
he evinces q readiness. amounting to the
hastiest kind of eag-rness to present TO
the public what hearsay has reached his
ears deroSatory &c the Directors of the
Central Pacific Railroad and their friends
in Congress. What he SAYS in this quite
scandalous report tscandalous because
avowedly based on nothing but the Cos
sip Of the streets and the lobby. is
merely a repetition of stories which
have been spread broadcast by the bitter
opponents of the Central Pacific Com
pany and which are mere unprcven ac-
cusatiops. lacking all the authenticity
resulting from unbiased investigation
and admissible proofs These remarks
of ours are in the nature of legitimate

Indeed, they had as well make virtue

But, at all events, they are entitled to

THE REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL RESISTED IN THE
CoUETs.
There is great muddle in West Virginia over
the question of the removal of the capital from
Charleston to Wheeling, which was resolved
upon by the Legislature last winter. Governor
Jacob commenced to make preparations
for the transfer, when the matter was
taken into the courts by some of the residents
of Charleston, who claim that the Constitution
of the State prohibits such removal, and that
having built State house in their town, they
have concluded contract with the State which
cannot be broken without the consent of both
parties. Legal questions have been presented
before several Judges and various proceedings
taken, the present status of the affair being
that an injunction against the removal is gran
ted, and will hold until the is argued before
the Supreme Court.
