ment. This is easily accounted ior. II
the Capital ia to be removed from Wheel
ing, and il the location OF the same tends
to build up town and make it anything
like manuiacturlngpoint the further il
Is away from Wheeling the less injury it
will work to the wholesale interests Of
that town.
Wepresumc that the Register is willing
that the Bonner, or any body else, should
entertain and lnculcate this or any other
plausible reason OH its part for coming
ont on the aide of Charleston for the
Capital. But unfortunately for the
theory put forward by the Banner on
behalf OF the Register, the latter is on the
record as saying during the last
session Of the Legislature that
Charleston had no capacity to be
stimulated into growth by the location
OF the Capital. The remarks ofth Reg.
iaer on this head were very uncompIi.
mentary to Charleston. The selfish greed
and impotency Of that place were both
adverted 10 by the Register. Nothing was
said Of the responsibility Of Clarksburg
for the passage OF the removal act. Now,
all Of a sudden, it is the Clarksburg lamb
and not the Charleston wolf that muddied
the stream. There is a great deal Of hu.
man nature in that old fable.
1t twould be very ridiculous to accept
any such theory as that put forward by
the Banner. Everybody knows that
Charleston is a mere appendage of Gin.
ctnna!i, and that every thing that she
buys, including an immense amount Of
poor whisky, comes from Cincinnati.

CAIRO, May 17.-Near Arlington, Ky.
yesterday afternoon, Eli Pyle, a sixteen
year old negro boy, attempted to outrage
the person Of the wife Of his employer
G. +. Pyle, respected and wealthy white
citizen OF Ballard county. Failing in hi,
purpose he choked and beat her till he
supposed her dead and threw her into I
cistern. The water was only four feel
deep and Mrs. Pyle had sufficient pres
ence Of mind to tie her long hair arount
projecting root, so that as she became
weakened she would avoid drowning
She remained in this position five houri
before being rescued, and notwithstand,
ing her severe ordeal, will recover. The
criminal Is in jail at Arlington.
