CHARLEsroN, April q, 1875.
This land Of perennial summer" like
the Upper Ohio valley, has been visited
with the coolest and most severe weather
ever known 70 late in the reason. It Is
thought tic fruit Is generally frozen out
and killed. The leaves, which had par
TALLY ventuFel out on the trees, are
bliRhted and discolored, very much re-
sembling autumn leaves. The loss is
heavy.
Coming up on the train yesterday on
the Chesapeake 4 Ohio road | had quite
lengthy chat with Judge Ward, who
was on bis way to Raleigh Court House,
where be commences court to-day. lie
was the last man on the train who would
have been taken for n Judge. lie is
about fiity.Gye years Of age, about six
feet high, spare built, with ragged grey
mustaChe and long, shaggy beard Of the
same color; he had on an old pair Of
army blue pantalOons over his black
ones, a SLOUGH hat, threadbare coat and
vest, and carelessly tied Cravat. AS he
sat coughing in the seat with Inc !
thought lie much resembled an army
chaplain or surgeon. lie isa very pleas.
ant aud agreeable talker, and, although |
was an entire stranger TO him, he spoke
freely Of matters in general and the Cap
ital removal in particular. lie said
that he resided at GuyandOtte, about
fifty miles from Charleston, on the
railroad, and a. he was 80 easy Of access
he had been applied to for the Injunction,
the petitioners preiering not TO go away
round to RavehswOod to Judge Smith, Of
this circuit, that be suggested the idea
Of sending Governor Jacob n roquot in
stead Of an injunction, but the petitioners
thought the Governor q man Of irmness
and "a he had said he was going to
Wheeling be must be enjoined; the Judge
said the Governors duties under the re.
mOval act were not political, but clearly
ministerial and judicial; that the injunc.
ton would prevent any movement what
ever until the courts had decided the
question. ! asked the Judge II he had
said be would put Governor Jacob in fail
II he failed 10 obey the injunction, when
he said that he had Issued the injunction
in good faith and with the best intentions,
and now he was done with II. II the
Wheeling friends did not believe in the
injunction and Il was Of no account, they
could have IL Dissolved in ten days; II the
injunction was not 80 Dissolved and the
Governor was arrested BY 4 second Judge
for contempt, II would be difficult TO find
third Judge who would grant a writ Of
hdbeas corpus. Judge Ward holds that
tihdef the present Constitution the Cap
ilal cannot be removed temporarily; that
when II Il moved Il must BE- to place Of
pefmanehce, and az this act contains the
word temporary ii will no, hold. lie
hoped The courts would lie respected BY
every citizen, high and low, and then
there would be no trouble.
Here the people are very sensitive on
thefelnoVal question; indeod some Of them
are very bitter. The better portion Of
the CiiaflettODiabs, however. Nte willing

future content themselves with something
more profitable and abiding than Capital
enterprises. A few broken down pOliti.

However, such chaps AZ Walker are at

When | look at the magnificent Capital

Charleston have ever been proSef6ial, |
