much more plausible theory. One
inseparable difficulty in the way of
accepting the theory that cold storms
come from ice5ergs, is that they
very often commence in the south
or south west and the mercury reaches
lower point there than at more
northerly ones nearer the ocean. For
instance some time ago there was a
cold storm commenced in the Cult of

did in Nashville or CINCINNATI
1t is well known that in the higher

as witnessed by the hail storms in the
midst of summer Our theory is
that these cold spells are caused by
some unknown condition of the at

current is established from the up

transferred from those upper regions

strong against the allowance for the

tee, there was not a single disappoint-
ment, nor mishap of any kind. The
programme was carried through to
the intense satisfaction of every par
ticipant, and the people of Charleston
md the Kanawha Valley should feel
a just pride in its success
The Committee having charge OF
the matter were Hon. j. c. Ruby,
Mayor; W. F Goshorn, President OF
Kanawha Board Col. w. H. Hoge-
man Col. T B Swami; G. c. Lew
is. President of Kanawha Valley

eral manager. WAS W. H HOgenan'

ton 70 the guests.
Maypr Burke, Recorder Obey, and
W. S. Downer were appointed a
Committee by the Council Of Hunt
fncton to visit Charleston and invite
the Committee tothis place. to see ii
something could not be done for the
dredging of Twelve Pole Bar; Mayor
Burke's' business arrangements pre-
vented his attendance, but the other
members of the Committee went, and
were treated with grea: kindness and
consideration bv the Charleston Com.
mittce. They had an interview with
Gen. Humphreys and Col. Craighill,
who informed them that engagements
in Washington prevented their COM
ing here ut this time, but gave as
surance Oh q visit in the future.
Messrs. w. II. Harvey and Arthur
Emmons, were in Charleston in the
evening and were kindly invited by
the reception Committee to particl-
pate in the Reception Dinner.
For the visitors from Huntington
we return hearty thanks for the
eourtesies received.
We give below the account
from the Charleston Courier of the
reception and speeches. We would
like to give verbatim reports of the
speeches made which were all good.
Senators Caperton and Davis and
Congressman Hereford all spoke with
enthusiasm of the future prospects
OF the Kanawha valley. Fl. s. Wal
ker made a very effective speech
which was greatly applauled by the
visiting gentlemen. Judge Brown
in his short speech made good hit !;
in recounting the many wonderful
spectaclcs presented by West Virgin
il, he said among other things i'll
which she differed from her sister
States, that she had her Capitol on
wheels; that it seemed to be like
Noah's dove, finding no rest for its
foot.
We met many very pleasant gen
tlemcu, amongst others Mr. Rideout,
Pres. OF the Company which
has bought the Tompkins Coal prop
erty, which will be at once developed
and made productive.
The Kanawha Valley will, in the
future, be the chief business centre Of
the State.

Tag MAILS. The IroHton Journal
goes out of its way 10 cast slur on
The Huntington Post office. about the
distribution of mails. The asscr-
ton that the mlilsare not distributed
regularly from this office, we are as
surel by the Past Master is simply,
MT true. THERE'S not a delay OF any
kind in the,office. The mails are al
ways sent as soon as received and #
thcw are not delivered, the RESPONSE
bilitv rests elsewhere. We happen
to know something about this matter,
as we have hal complaints about the
non-delivery of our papers. We
heard that they had net been deliver
ed at a point above here, and went
to the office 10 know the reason. II
was shown to US, conclusively, that
thew bad been sent from here. The
mail from this point to Frampton was
also DELAYED; on inquiring we found
chat the mail boat stops there as she
comes up the river but not as she
gucs down, so mail matter, to 90
across the river was carried there by
the way of Portsmouth it went there
one day, end came back to Frampton
the next.
We suggest to our neighborthat it
is much easier 10 make accusations
than TO prove them.
With the relative merits of Messrs
Brooks ami Gibson, We have nothing
TO do. but Mr.. Brooks administration
of PJst-oficc afurs, rs far Us our
knowledge extends has been very
satisfactory to all who kave dealings
there. We do not believe there is
an office anywhere that is kept in
better order. We have always found
Mr.. Brooks a thorough, uncom-
promising and consistent Republican.
We respect him as political op-
ponent, and We aro willing to accord
to him what he is justly entitled to.
