THE grain and provision dealers and
spectators on this side Of the water
would probably give good deal, just
now, to know precisely how the Eastern
imbroglio is going to turn out, The New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says the result of the prevailing
uncertainty is to arrest pretty much al
operations of a purely speculative char
acter. The bulls are circulating re-
ports about heavy contracts in certain
kinds of merchandise Tor which Con-
tinental war would undoubtedly create
q sharp demand, but, in the absence OF
tangible facts to support them, the pre-
sumption is that they are tor the most
part, if not altogether Inventions, for the
purpose of influencing the market in
tt cir favor.

WHEELING, February IL, 1877.

Editors of the Register:
1t is good rule to not use word of
which we do not know the mean
ing. A departure therefrom is apt to
make one appear ridiculous, which fact
WAS forcibly illustrated last Mardi Gras
day By the outrageous uses tc which the
Lstin word rea was put. There were
several banners that might be criticised
in this connection. but the most palpable
were "Long live King Rex" and "Rex
King" and now comes the Sunday Leader
aud bids US Make way .or King Rex"
This is certainly enough to make Rome
howl. Tomorrow, for the credit OF the
CITY, let have a right use of the word.

!. Qua article of Saturday morning
urging an organized action on the part
of the Democratic members of the Leg
islature, had the effect of provoking from
the Republicans reply in the shape of
resolution, which was offered
by Mr.. Riley, of Jackson. Mr.,
RrLEY's resolution was very appropri-
ateIy referred to the Committee on En-
rolled Bills and is as follows:
WHEREAS, The recognized "organ"
of the Democratic party Of this state has
this day urged upon that party the ne
cessity OF thorough organization, in Or
der to etiectuslly resist the assaults of its
enemies, and shown conclusively that
there is danger Of l6 Republicans in the
House getting away" with 49 Demo
Gratis, by reason of the thorough organi.
zstion Of the former and, unfortunately,
the utter decentralization of the latter!
therefore.
Resolved By the LEGISLATURE Of West
Virginia, That recess of two weeks
from this day be taken IN order to enable
the Democracy to organize and prepare
it.elf for legislative duties and get of of
the "rsgged edge"
We congratulate MIR. RILEY in his
effort at tacetiousness, but still insist that
unless the Democratic members have
some concert of action, the minority will
"get away" with the majority. But
there is no necessity for an adjournment
of two weeks, and the Republicans will
learn that Democrats can organize with
out delaying the work of the Legislation,
but on the contrary will have a tsnden.
