THE CAPITAL.

The discussion of the question of
the location of the State Capital in
this canvass has been argued gener-
ally on side issues, rather than ON the
true merits of the question. Really,
the only question to be considered in
settling this matter is, at which place
named in the act Of the Legislature,
Clarksburg, Charleston or Martins
burg, will the greatest number of the
people of the State be benefited by
its location. Which is the most cen
trail point, geographically and popu-
latively considercd?- Which is the
most accessible to the greatest num-
Der of people? These are questions
to be asked and answered by every
citizen of the State, no difference
what his locality. Then when it comes
nearer home, the question is to be
asked by the people of thegreat Mon
ongahela Valley, lat which place would
its location most benefit them !? The
answer is SO plain to the most inlet
tered, that it is unnecessary to even
give it here. 1t is patent to every
body that if we locate the Capital at
Clarksburg it increases our chances
to have the Monongahela valley r. r.
and slack-water finished to that point
fourfold. The Kanawha Valley had
$1,5O0,0OO from the State to build
her railroad. Why not we have that
much for our railroad? The Kanaw-
ha Valley has had $500, 900 from the
General Government to improve their
river; We have had 100000; Why
shall are not get this difference, $780,
600, to improve our river? Is it not
patent to everybody that the location
Of the Capital at Clarksburg increas-
es our chances to get these appropri-
ations, and, consequently, these i'm
proyements? Then for years to come
all our mechanics, stone cutters,
bricklayers, carpenters, and our day
laborers, will have employment. Then
our farmers will have home demand
for everything they raise, and, after
the improvements are completed, a
way to market for all time. Then
our people will have the wherewith to
purchase and our manufactures a de-
mand for all their articles at home.
Therefore, let all our people remember
Tuesday, the 7th day of August. and
come out and vote for Clarksbure
and thereby for their own interests,
This the voters Of Monongalia will
undoubtedly do, Notwithstanding the
many influences brought to bear to
cause them to vote against them
selves. Put down Monpngalia coun-
ty for ], 900 majority for Clarksburg,
at the least.

The fortune of war is proyel

ThE fortune of war is proyerr
bially changeable. tits pre- eminently
so in the present confict,in the East.
Those who thought that the Turks
would ce subjugated in short time,and
without much fighting on the part of
the Russians, must be disappointed.
They are making far stouter resiss
tance than had been expected. 1t is
said, indeed, that now they are fighting
like ficnds incarnate And in some
measure victory is rewarding their
prowess. The Russians have with
drawn from Kars, and the Turks have
recaptured Bayazid. In Asia, it is.
stated, that disaster is attending the
Russian troops at every step. Muk-
thar Pasha is generally allowed tobe
showing brilliant generalship. sAll the
tribes in the Caucasus are in armed
revolt against Russia. General Nell
koff is hard pressed, is recalling his
troops from all available points, and
is anxiously waiting for reinforce
ments. On the other hand, the Rus
slams are reported as steadily march
ing onward in Europe, and as in pos
session of Nicopolis, which the Turks
evacuated. The Balkan range Of
mountains, however, has not yet been
crossed, and obviously there is hard
fighting to be done before the Russian
eagle flies victorious over CONSTANT
nople. The usual horrors and miser
les of war follow in quick succession
Dreadful outrages are perpetrated ter
rible sufferings are endured ;and now,
alas! both pestilence and famine are
aiding the contending forces. 1t is
slckening to read the narratives of
some of the. eyo-witnesses. cssss Is

THE CHARLESTON SIDE.


Maj. T. I. Broun of Charleston in
speech at Boone Court house the
other day called attention to the fol-
lowing facts THAT in all the State
of West Virginia there was not city
Of any size. That all our merchants
went to cities in other states to pur-
chase their goods, carrying out of the
State the money necessary to pay for
them. That our Timber, Coal and Salt
to be sold in quantities had now to be
shipped to distant markets. That we
needed good home market for the
products of our farms, gardens and
poultry yards. That to develop our
country fully, we must have more mon
cy and consumers. Now how to get
both? Locate the Capital of our State
permanently in Charleston, the center
of the richest county in Goals and Tim
Der in the United States and perhaps
in the world; This done, in a few
years, railroad will be built from
some point on the b. d 0. down Elk
to Charleston, and in time another
from some point on the c. & O. to the
Va. d Tennessee.
Charleston will then be railroad GEN.
ter; where will be built machine shops,
rolling mills, iron furnaces, giving en-
ployment to thousands of laborers; all
consumers. Millions of capital will
seek investment in this section, and
we may look forward to the time when
Charleston will be city equal in size
to some of the most important cities
in the Union; and fourshing towns in
all the adjacent counties. Consumers
in our midst would stimulate, by furn-
ishing good home market, for the
production ofTobacco, beef, pork, NUT
ton, corn, wheat, hay, potatoes, cab
bage, onions, chickens and eggs
The jackson County News in it's
issue of a few days ago reasons thus:
We have a letter from young man
in Wooster, 0. asking about the price
of land in this part ofthe State. His
run thus, "What is the price of and
from, five, eight, ten twelve, fifteen,
twenty, miles from Ravenswood? It
is but common sense in looking for a
farm, to ascertain if one be had near to
some city, town, or market station.
Any one thinking to move to distant
State, would naturally look up the
towns. and commercial centers in it;
especially would he ascertain the To-
cality of the capital: and his common
sense would reason thus, sThat CAPT.
tai has been located in good place,
not in some barren and un productive
spot, but in fertile, and desirable re-

gion; and if there be land in its vicin-
ity for sale,it is no doubt safe and de-
sirable to invest there; a capital always
affords a good market, and there are
many advantages in being near it: il
therefore ] can buy farm within five,
n,twenty, or thirty miles Of 1t, / may
calculate to a dead certainty that my
land will not depreciate In value, but
will be all the time gaining" just so
we would reason, were we looking
abroad for a home in another State,and
just so will those reason who are think
ing to come to West Virginia. Place
the capital at Charleston, and you will
add value to every acre ofland in Jack
son county. 1t will give an impetus
to immigration. Industrious, enter
prising men will move into the country,
buy lands, and improve it. This is
what we want
And yet the advocates of Charles
ton in this section say that they want
the Capital as far away as possible; that
it is no particular advantage to any Sec
ton, etc., etc. Votres Of Monongalla
read the argument used by the friends
of Charleston to induce the people to
vote for that place. Don't they doub>
ly apply to the citizens of Monongalia
and to their interest in the location of
the Capital at Clark sburg? We believe
that "what is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander."

ANARCHY AND RUIN AT PITTSBURGH.
The arrival of the Philadelphia
troops at Pittsburgh, Saturday, July
Dist, was the cause of the blacklist
day in the history of that city. Sher-
if Fife had, some time before, called
for aid from the Governor of the
State. AS soon as the troops arriv-
ed, he at their head, marched down
to the railroad crossing at 2Sth
street where the largest blockade in
the city was. Here the soldiers

commenced scene, the details Of
which would occupy more space than
we have at our disposal. Suffice it
to say, that the crowd sacked private
stores,pillaged armories, burned prop
erty, and babe defiance to law and
order Twenty persons were killed
and about thirty wounded. The sol
diers, after being nearly roasted in a
Round House, were forced to retreat.
Citizens formed themselves into Wig
ilance committees and patroled the
streets. Between six and seven mil
lion dollars worth of property was
destroyed. The Governor of this
State was also forced to call on the
Federal Government for aid.

SERIOUS OUTBREAK IN READING, Pa.
The strikers here tore up tracks,
blocked switches, burned freight cars.
The Lebanon Valley railroad bridge,
costing over $4,000 has been total
ly dies .royed. The Fourth Regiment
was ordered there, and shortly after
P. NJ. came in contact with the mob,
killing four and wounding several.
Everywhere else things are compare

no one knows.

~The latest reports from a

0The latest reports from all
parts of the county indicate that
there will be much larger majority
for Clarksburg than was at first pre-
dicted. The citizens are beginning
to realize that if the Capital exerts
such a powerful influence in the de-
velopment Of the locality in which it
is placed, as we are told by Charles
ton speakers it does, it is well to have
it where we will catch the wave as
soon as possible. What Monon-
gala most needs is for this cruel re-
tarding affliction to be buried forever
under the cross-ties of broad gauge
railroad, which will develop our I'M
told mineral resources and open the
way to financial independence. With
the Capital of our State at Clarks-
burg in less than three years we pre-
dict we will have a railroad up eur
fertile, blue grass valley, which will
then become a hive of industry, af-
fording employment for all classes of
mechanics and laborcrs.

G~THE Government has another
fits disreputablc Indian fight on hand.
This time it is with Chief Joseph Of
Oregon and Idaho, who complains of
a violation of his rights, and who is
not willing to submit himself and his
tribe to usurpation and fraud. 1t is
probable that he will be Overborne by
superior numbers and skill; but it will
be Mt the cost of much bloOdshed, and,
what is more, by sacrifice of justice
and honor on the part Of the Govern
ment. 1t is high time these Indian wars
had ceased. There is no need for them.
They violate every principle of human
ity and justice. Even little COM
mon prudence would suffice to prevent
them.

THE DEPOT ON FIRE.

II
At 10 o'clock P. NJ. rush of rioters
was made to the dispatcher's office,
on Lee Street, and in minute it was
seen that the lower portion of the
building and sheds were on fire. The
crowd at this time was very dense.
A passenger car was also set on fire,
and the locomotive No. 41O, which
was to carry out the troops, was bad
ly damaged. The smoke and flames
rolling up were scnsibly felt at Cam
den Station, and it was feared that it
would communicate with and destroy
it. A general alarm was sounded
and the fire department was quickly
on hand, butthe rioters would not al
low them to work. At this time the
rioters on Lee street were fired into,
and after some difficulty were dis
persed. Then the fire companies
went to work, and after short fight
conquered the flames, before proceed
ing far up the sheds of the company.

only said. Il have been elected

for a sign, they were listening Gag
