for four years. Brewster's resig-
nation TO the President was dated
November ith, 1876. lie asked that

dated November 10Th, for reinstatement

The correspondent OF the Charleston
Courier, in discussing the Tremendous
mileage and per diem expenses Of the
Moundsville penitentiary directors, sug.
gests that it is not necessary to select
directors with n view to geographical
representation throughout the State,
thereby entailing such heavy charges on
the trea sury, but rather with view TO
short and convenient access to the peni-
Tertiary, thus saving money to the State.
This is u timely suggestion, and one that
should be remembered by the new Gov
ernor when he comes into the appointing
power, or by the Board Of Public Works
IN case the power disappointment shall re-
main vested in that body.
