TUE CAPITAL
In my humble opinion the Zig is up"
for the Charleston people, They have
made their last tight and won their last
victory, You know that have hereto
fore expressed the opinion to you in a
private way that it Is unjust to remove
the Capital from Charleston, and all
along claimed that it could not be re-
moved. But upon an investigation Of the
standing Of the present Legislature on
this question lind decided majority
in favor OF removal. There are no less
than ~ in the House and Is in the Sem
ate, probably "A, who are square out re-
movalists. This is majority Of both
branches Of the Legislature, and ii Is but
reasonable to suppose, as Nasty says, that
"thc thing will be did" --
To-day JIM, Bennett, 0f Levi, intro
duCed bill in the Senate 10 remove the
Seat OF Government temporarily to
Wheeling. Ii u clap OF thunder had iS-
sued from sun litsky itwOulllnOt have
created greater excitement, and in very
few InIUutrs the news was spread oil over
town. Old lomahawks, sCalping knives,
battle axes, and wAF clubs hive been
gathered nj, and war'has beglm in ear
nest.
The Wheeling proposition is looked

your arrangements tn entertain the hon;

the morals Of any community. Upon the
whole Wheeling will not be benefited.
Hotels will make money, and bar rooms
and "iaro banks" will have u run Of
business, but religious institutions
will be under dark cloud Us long As the
honorable, body sets IN our city. Ii tho

upon sustaining the question has been
ordered byA majority Of: the Democratic
members Of both branches OF the I.egisla.
iure for next Friday night. This Is
thought to BE- favorable to Walker, nj he
has been clnni6ring for 4 cAucnI from the
first, but the more honorable members
have been opposing it, Although Camden
now seems to have n majority, still It is
my opinion that Walker willwin In the
caucus. There are twcnty.nine straight
out Democrats and -four Independents
from this District. II they all 20 into
caucus, which they hFc likely to dO-bC.

will give Walker say -, and all hO needs
Is 30, which Is u majority Of the caucus.

that Walker will have 90 from the Third

LOUISIANA AGAIN.
The Legislature cant let Louisiana
alone. GrnnI'sspccial mcssngG seems to
have no effect upon the members They
cant let matters alone in which they arc
IN no way Interested. They don't want
to see the White League villains dcposed
from power. They know II this Is done
