Mr.. Kirtly, fPutnam: Is Mason,
Granger and a capital fellow generally
From the number ofbills passed by the
House on Saturday, it looks like that
body meant business.
"The last speck Of war on the horizon
was between Gov. Daley and the pages I.
of the House
Mr.. Powell is one of the most quiet, as
he is one of the most sensible men in thc'
House.
The trouble with The school bill is that
too many members, now how it ought
to be- and no two agree.
Mr.. Thoruburg made lis first speech
and 4 very sensible one in favor Of the
Huntington Bank appropriation
Mr.. Welch's constituents must COM
mend his skill in getting has New Creek
Boom bill passed.
There is no truer Democrat in either
House than Depue, Of Roane-and he al
ways looks to the interest Of his people.
How will $500 fee do for q lawyer
who practices gratuitously tor the poor
man. See the records of Barbour county.
Mr.. Ferguson got his resolution
through securing the service of the At
torney- General in his big land suit, and
now Wayne county is happy.
Dyer d. Dix, d. D., is one of the best
fellows in the Legislature, as he is one Of
the most efficient members He oiroyS
votes right
Mr.. Vaughn thinks that the people Of
Wheeling are heightened gentlemen, and
the people of Huntington IA band Of
rotten lobbers.'
Mr.. Stuart still sticks to his advocacy
of the rights OF the poor man. One
member suggests that practice is better
than theory.
Mr. Mason enters his solemn protest
against the proposition that the gentle
man from Doddridge cmbodics AL the
righteousness left to the lega! profession.
Hutchinson, lee and "them lawyer
fellers' rather gathered the gentleman
from Doddridge on his record as the
poor mans friend.
The question of extending the session

was agitated pretty generally by the
members, yesterday.
An informal meeting of the Commit
tee of the Whole of the House Of Dele
gates was held at the Court House Satur-
day evening, on the proposed amend
ments to the school law.
Mr.. Wclch thinks that dcmagogery is
the curse of this country. He thinks if
the gentleman from Doddridgo had 800
to lend TO poor man he would charge
him 10 per cent interest.
Mr.. Williams went for the lawyers on
Yesterday. He thinks that the legal pro-

j. b. Jackson Esq, the popular chair
man Of the House Judiciary Committee,
left for his home at Parkersburg, on
the Hudson, Saturday evening, to attend
the Circuit Court, which commences this
morning. He obtained leave Of absence
for four days from to-day.
Hon. Booker Short got his bridge bill
through the House on Saturday. This is
the first bridge or road bill that has
passed either House, and may be the be-
ginning of new era in our Legislation.
There is manifest feeling on this ques-
ton, and the friends Of public institu-
tions will evidently have to yield little
to the friends OF these roads and bridges,
or they may lose appropriations alto.
ccthcr for their institutions.
