Great Spirit hears me-" He called heaven

some mistake in telling him when he first
came here that their arrangements were
for thiFty.fve years. This $4,000 will
only pay for the land to Pawnec creek,
which We wish to retain, lie would take
this $4,000, but when winter comes he
wanted them TO try and get more, He had
seen but little Of tho President and he
Thought il hard he should be asked to go
there to live, and he now told them twice
he would not go there. His country was
good one and he wished TO keepit, Last
winter, when the annuities were issued,
many Of his people were absent and did
not get their goods, and he wanted more
goods for them. IlO was not satisfied with
the food that was sent to him. He wanted
bacon, rice, hominy and tea sent to him.

lihqulshing large portion Of their hunt

THE Supreme Court Of West Virginia
assemblies in this city to-day. No doubt
the honorable members Of II sec and APP
preciate the disgrOceful dilemma that
exists in our public affairs by reason Of
the conduct Of certain parties at Charles
ton. And no doubt, also, they would be
glad to find way out Of this most unfor-
tunute imbroglio. It has been suggested
that the Attorney General (who is under
stood to hold to the constitutionality oil
the act Of rcmovaD with view to aso-
luton of the difficulty might very prop
erly move to dismiss the appeal granted
by Judge Moore, and that such n motion
would necessarily present the whole case
to the Court for adjudication, tits to be
hoped that there Is way open at the
present term Of the Court, either in the
respect suggested or some other, for ter
mination OF the present lamentable state
Of affairs. Every interest Of the State, at
home and abroad, is prejudccd by what
has been done at Charleston.

We have no Ccnsurc To pass upon the

Il, into West Va.
From the Waynesburg Republican,
Our Blackeville, W. ", neighbors, and
others between Waynesburg and that
point, are waking up to the Importance
Of the further extension Of the road in
that direction. We are pleased to know
this, as il is truly Of vast Importance to u
large section oil country that the narrow
gauge SHOULD follow the valley, las valley
| il is every mile oil the way To Blacksville.
1t would he the making oithat little town,
greatly benefit the people OF large scope
Of country adjacent thereto who,are with
out railroad facilities, and he great
feeder to the trade oil Wayncsburg. This
is direct and natural route between the
South and Norlh-suCh as no other belt
OF the country between the two points OF
the compass affords,
Men OF means in Blacksville have re-.
quested Mr.. Richie, the President OF
the Waynesburg X Washington road, to
furnish them with the necessary papers
upon which to obtain subscriptions, and
say that already $4,000 are promised to
the enterprise from men who are able to
back up their word, and that money sutii
cicnt to grade their road can be raised IN
a short time.
One thousand dollars mile will be an
ample sum to make the road ready for
the ties, and as the distance is only about
thirteen miles, it is readily seen how
cheaply the work could be done, As to
the ties, those could be obtained right
along the way at a low figure. Let tn
enterprise be started at once.
