To. uorroW's Vote on the Capital
Question.

The people Of West Virginia will vote
,o.mor,ov upon the question Of locating
tbs permnncnt Capital Of the State.
Tho three places named in the act are
cl,,E.bp,g. Slartinsburg and Charleston,
and noo,her place can be voted for. A
vo,. for any other place cannot be
counted
II either Of the place. named shall re-
eeivr = majority Of the whole vote cast,
li,to become thcpermanent Capital OF
and after the lst Of May, 1885, and II no
place receives such n majority, then q
second vote between the two highest oil
the three places, and no others, is to be
taken in October, 1873, that date being
the date OF the tirst general election to be
held thereafter.
Those who act Us officials at to.mor-
rows election are to receive no pay OF
any kind for their services, save the
qualification that naturally arises from a
sense OF duty we'll performed. 1t will be
their duty within five days after the re-
suit is ascertained at their respective
polls, to certify the same to the Gov.
ernor, and it will be his duty within
twenty days from that on which said
election is held, to declare by proclama.

bic site for a Capitol building, and they
are authorized to accept donations Of
such site, also Of money, and the ac-
CeptanCe ia to he construed az contract
bet ween the donors and the State, and is
to bind the latter against any repeal Of
the act except by vote OF majority Of
the qualified voters OF the State cast in
pursuance Of an act Of the Legislature, or
repeating clause in newconstitution,
or by repeating amendment to the
present constitution Of the State.
1t is said that such contract will be
ia violation of Section 90 OF Article V Of
the present Constitution Of the State,
which reads that "the seat of Govern.
ment shall be at Charleston until other
wise provided by law" In pursuance Of
this provision the Capital was removed
to Wheeling, and in pursuance Of il (so
it is claimed) the next, or any succeeding,
Legislature can remove it to any other
point, as long as the provision is notre-
peAled by an amendment to the Constitu-
ton.
Itisnot likely, however, that aNcon-
test will arise over the location. The
place selected tomorrow, il a selection
shall then be made, will, in all probabili-
ty, remain the Capital Of the State for an
indefinite time to come. Therefore We
should all vote under the conviction that
the verdict of tomorrow will be final and
irrevocGbIe, and that whatever we pro.
pose, each one OF US, to do as affecting the
important result, should not be delayed
or neglected, but attended to now. Now
is the time, and the only time, to say
where the future Capital of West Vir-
ginia shall be.

We alluded in Saturdays issue to the
first great necessity on the part Of EN-.
PIoye. in case they seriously desired to
guard against reverses Of fortune during
times OF depression in business. We
pointed out that in order to get start in
lie, and secure the nucleus OF independ.
eHcc, it was, in nearly all cases, requisite
that laboring men should, during such
time IA they were in receipt Of satisfac.
tory wages, deny Themselves, as far as
possible, Of such expenditures as were
not absolutely indispensable for their
families, and thereby lay aside and invest
portion Of their earnings. This has
been the secret OF so many successes in
lie that it can almost be said
to be the one great panacea for human
suffering within the reach OF every man
who labors. No one needs 10 be told
that nearly all pecuniAry distress comes
from improvidence and profigacy. Poor
Richards grand recipe for start in life
wa' that every mans expenses should
every day be one penny less than his re.
ceipts. This penny amounts to six pen
MES per week, and these Six pennies rep.
resent the interest on 100 pennies for
year. In few years they accumulate,
by the law Of arithmetical progression, to
a sum that no man at first thought would
deem possible. And in like manner, the
same wise writer shows what a man
can save by cutting down all his vices
and bantshing from his household every
'picies OF otextravagance. In addition to di
rect and immediate pecuniary gain HI
gains, in most instances, increased viSol
Of boiy and mind, and thus adds to hi
stock in trade as capable producer fo
himself and others.
1t has been estimated by those whc
have paid attention to the savings bank
statistics OF the country, that it is en-
"rely within the power of the averag
American Cmploye to save SlOO per yea
over and above his family expenses. Th
man who saves Sl0O per year for ten years
and indiciOusly invests it in home, o
in some other equally productive and saf
way.treal estate being ggeneralIy commend
ed as the best) has effected his indepeud
enee and laid the foundation Of acompe
tencC for sickness or old age. 1t is sestimat
cd that family trained to the irugalit,
that this saving suppOses, is always equa
10 the task Of providing food and cloIhe
once they are secure in the possession 0
a home. There are SO many ways o
living cheaply and we'll, once there is n
rent to provide for, that in France it ha
been considered inexcusable in iamil
thus situated not to be absolutely genteel
The ability OF laboring men to aquir,
homes has been amply illustrated in tn
history Of the Bailding Associations o
this country. No such impetus to th,
desire for the acquisition Of homes wa.
ever given by any other fundamentally
10 our history. And this beneficial enL
has chiefly resulted from the habit Of

PATHS Divorce Suit Decided
Against Her.

PATHS Divorce Suit Decided
Against Her.
PARIS, August 4.-Adelina PATHS suit
has been decided. Both the lady and her
husband had filed applications for judicial
separation. Madame PATHS application
was refused and her husbands granted.
The sentence states that Madame Patti
does not even offer to bring forward any
proofs Of the facts she alleges. On the
other hand, the documents placed before
the tribunal, particularly correspondence
addressed to Madame Patti by a third
person, show that her conduct did the
gravest injury to her husband. The
court, therefore, pronounCes against her
petition for separation OF body and goods,
and condemns her to pay the costs. As
divorce is unrecogniEed by French law,
neither party can marry again. The sit.
ting was public. The Marquis De Caux
was present. The decision was rendered
by the tribunal Of the first instance.
