and to give another illustration OF its
hostility to the present location o.
the seat of government, (tC
use the language of a venerable
Charleston man) "the ID thing
froze up" No other route was open
save the railroad. Back we came,
via Grafton. Martinsburg, Harper's
Ferry, and Staunton, shook to death,
our pockets empty, and our
stomachs thin as one of the speeches
of the ex-Hon. Geo. H. Morrison in
behalf of Charleston. Here Wa
found but one hotel remaining,
where, for the very modest sum oil
from SIS to $25 you can have the
privilege of being TANNED
and crammed 10 your hearts
content. The dear people
should look with great com
passion upon the poor fellows whom
they have sent to make laws for
them. Purgatory is a mild name
for it.
THE ORGANIZATION.
The two houses organized to-day,
by the election of the officers named
in the dispatches heretofore sent.
Not much surprise was mani
tested as TO the result, except
that Wof1indin, the editor OF the
Weston Democrat, was defeated for
clerk of the House. Woffindin ran
well and lacked only one uote in
caucus OF securing the nomination.
1t appears strange to the casual OBJ
server that Democratic Legisla-
ture would overlook the services OF
true and tried friend, SUCH as Wot-
findin has always proved himself,
and put into position men who nave
been known only as office-holders.
But it seems that the combinations
of the Third District, and the heresy
of some who ought to have been his
friends, defeated Woflindin. How
ever he loses nothing in the way OF
popularity, for the race was the
closest one of all.
1t may be of interest to your Har~
rison county readers to know that
the gushing young creature who
balls from Clarksburg, by name Car.
Isle, has fully identified himself
with the bitter-end Radicals. Upon
one or two occasions to-day he took
occasion to refer, in his most elegant
terms, to "that glorious party now
dominantin the nation, and to whose
efforts our great country owes its eX-
istence.p
THE LOUISIANA AFFAIR.
Resolutions were offered to-day,
writted, l understand, by Judge
Camden, condemning in the
most hearty terms the action
of Grant and Sheridan i'll
the New Orleans matter. Mr..
White, Republican, of Marshall, OF
iected to their immediate considera-
ton, and they lie over, under the
rules, until tomorrow. They will
be undoubtedly passed.
THE LEGISLATORS.
Upon the whole, | am well pleased
with the appearance of the members
of both Houses. They make up n
body of earnest and intelligent gen
tlemen; and q desire seems 10 pre-
vail to get TO work promptly and do
Justice to themselves, and their con-
stituents,
THE REMOVAL QUESTION.
Several of your townnsen are
here, and they are looked upon with
grave suspicion by the Charles
tonisns. Especially is this
the case III regard to
the interchangeable Tingle, whom
they regard as the leader of the in
vading army, which now threatens
to remove their beloved Capitol.
Everybody is "mum' upon the
removal question rs yet. The cam
paign for removal will be short,
sharp and decisive; and the Char
lestonians are in great dread of the
result
Mr.. Baker, of the Register, arrived
