fbi. State. a, tn. same vote which passes
bill will put il through again over inc
Governor: head, if the Majority 80 eject.
The friends OF the present location "i
the capital are very bitter at Senator
Grantham. of Berkeley whose vote saved
the bill. They had taken II tor granted
that he would vote with them ana they
openly declared that had they not be-
ljeyed he would, they would never have
let the bill pass the Senate. just how
they would have prevented it, has not
transpired. Perhaps money would have
been the all powerful argument to be
used again, as it is believed it was last
session, or perhaps force might have been
applied to produce All absentee, as they
give vent TO more of that article IN
speech and action that sense and argu-
ment.
The proceedings in both houses of the
Legislature have been far more interest
ing and important during the past week
than ever before since the session began.
With the capital bill in the Senate, the
usury bill under the full blast of animal
ed discussion in the House, and the tluc-
tuations of the Senatorial question, both
day and night in the House and caucus,
there has been lutte time or inclination
toward cJutia.
The usury bill is the production OF Mr..
Carlisle, of Harrison. and is an unusually
severe measure, providing for uniform
rate of interest at six per cent, and max
ing 1t AN otlense, punishable by forfeit
urc of double the amount loaned both
PRINCIPAL and interest, to take more than
the LEGAL rate; onc-half to 60 to the IN
. former. This bill has been the subject OF
heated discussion, the members from
Jefferson, Harrison, Doddridgc and one
or two other counties making vehement
speeches in it, favor, and Mr.. Good, OF
Wheeling. Jackson, Of Wood, Welch, Of
Mineral. and Hail. of Richie, taking
opposite ground. Vaughn, Of Lincoln,
was upon both sides OF the question. II"

sion to be to look after the lawyers who
