The Wheeling Register, referring to
the Hon. Samuel Price, of Greenbrier,
whose appointment as successor to the
late United States Senator Caperlon,
has been announced, says that Mr..
Price and Caperton were neighbors.
Prior to The war they were both mem
bers of the wing party, and both fgur-
ed in the public counsels of Virginia.
During the war they both occupied
political positions at Richmond, Mr..
Capertop being member of the Con-
federate State Senate, and Mr.. Price a
member of the Virginia convention and
Legislature respectively. Later Mr..
Price was made Lieutenant Governor
of Virginia. which position he occupied,
at the close of the war. From that
time he remained quietly at home,
practicing his profession after The dem
ocrats repealed the radical lawyers test
oath, until the fall of 1871, when the
people OF his county selected him as
member of the convention called 10
form new constitution tor this State.
On the organization of the convention
in 1872 Mr.. Price was selected as its
presiding officer. Mr.. Price is an ex-
cellent and honest gentleman. but he is
not possessed of the snap and vim of
the late Mr.. Caperton.

AN interesting decision has just been
rendered in Chicago as to the liability
of a bank in collecting drafts. 1t APP
pears that the Bank of Montreal, of that
CITY, received draft some time ago
from one of its correspondents drawn on
the State Street Savings Bank. Failing
to collect the money at once,
the bank had the paper
accepted, and during the three days
that interviewed before presentation for
payment the savings bank failed. Suit
was brought against the Bank of
Montreal, and the judge held that the
action of the bank in having the draft
accepted instead insisting on immediate
payment rendered it lisble,as it created a
new contract, and discharged the drawers
of the draft.

MUCH is at present being said in East
ern journals of the features and causes OF
the remarkable decline in shares in an
thracite coal roads during the past week;
but we have not seen any allusion to
what is really The cause of the trouble.
That may be said to be that the coal
combination formed by the Eastern coal
interests over-reached itself. The ext
gencics of the times demanded cheap coal,
and these roads undertook to control
prices so as to deny that demand. Hence
result what we see alluded to in the East
ern papers as the causes of this decline
that the manufacturers supplied
with fuel by these roads "are
dropping or dropped altogether;
hundreds and thousands of tall CHM
neys which three years ago poured out
smoke and reddening the midnight air,
stand now dark and smokeless; huge
mounds of coal-months' supplies lie
heaRed upon wharves and in yards, un
called for and often unpaid for; tnat the
coal mines are being worked either on
half time or not at all, and the coal rail-
ways are not earning dividends" Plans
10 sustain the price of any great staple
of production beyond point which the
consuming interests can bear, will al
ways, sooner or later, react as in this
case.
In this connection the Pittsburgh
Commercial SAYS:
"In this section we are hardly recover
ing from the reaction of the attempt in
1872 to keep the prices f iron at double
what it is now. Our Western coal in
terests are now somewhat depressed; but
AS the laws of trade have been gwen
their proper scope, there is no such de-
preston here as in the Eastern coal in
terests, and our coal-carrying roads are
doing comparatively well. The reaction
N the Eastern coal stocks is, we conclude,
the proper aud necessary result of their
own arrangements are responsible for
the misfortunes of their share holders"

for me TO SPEAK of Governor Prices per.

ton Of West Virginia, and has held
many other positions of honor and trust
in both the old and new State, ana no
one can say that he failed in point OF ca
pability or honesty, to come up 10 the
very highest standard. The Comstltu-
tional Convention adopted resolution IN
which they said that Gov. Price had dis-
charged his duties, as their President
"with courtesy, dignity, ability and I'M
partiality." Nearly all the older lawyers
of the State are we'll acquainted with
Gov. Price, having met him at the bar OF
the Supreme Court and in the legislative
halls of the old and new State, and all
loin in according to him the highest
praise for his ability and learning ss

As one who has the welfare of our
State and the success of the Democratic
party at heart, l desire to recommend
Ex Gov. Samuel Price, of Greenbrier
county, as our nominee for Governor.
Mr.. Price is by no means candidate for
the position IN the common acceptation
of the term. He is not working and will
not work to secure the nomination. But
he would accept it il it were rendered
him as the spontaneous and unsolicited
gift Of his party. And if he should be
chosen rs our standard bearer he would
labor industriously and earnestly, and l
am sure, with efficiency for the success Of
our ticket. i insert an extract from
Gov. Price to 3 friend in this city, which
explains his position in reference to the
matter. He says:
LEwIsBURe, May 9Th, 1876.
You seem to think that my POSITION in
reference TO the Gubernstorial election
may be misunderstood. l hope it may
not be. am not seeking the office
and upon one condition only would sc-
cept q nomination for 1t. That condition
has been expressed to all my friends who
have spprss, he'd me on the subject. They
have said that l could unite and har-
monte the two wings OF the Democratic
party. have said in reply that il, 1
could accomplish an end so desirable
should feel it to DO nay patriotic duty to
accept . nomination if one was rendered,
and upon this condition only. The con-
vention Of course, being the Judge.
With sincere respect, am yours: &c.

that he will resort to none of the ma

of our State and the triumph Of our
party, the necessity of comforting this
homo: on one who will honor the State
