CAPITOL NOTES.
[From our Exehanges.l

An election will be held at the us
.ual places of voting on Tuesday, the
9TH day of August, 1877, to perma.
nently locate the Capital of this
State. Elections for school officers
will be held on the same day. Re-
member. both these elections are to
be held at the usual voting places,
and not at the school house of each
district.
Let the people come out to the polls
and vote upon this important ques-
ton and thus put an end to further
agitation.
When referring to the resources Of
the Third District the Clarksburg
papers calls them "rocks and scrubby
pines"
Be active and earnest in your eff
forts to bring out every voter in your
precinct and see that he votes for
Charleston.
the people of the Third District
have on August seventh an oppor-
tunity toImake tieir power felt in
the State.
The Clarksburg papers have way
of characterizing the people of the
Third District as Outlaws, sots and
blacklegs."
Recollect the election takes places
on August seventh; each voter should
be sure to attend the polls himself
and should see that every neighbor
does SO.
At Clarksburg they are interesting
themselves very much about the hab-
its of the people of this district
They even speak of our food and say
we live on "craw-fsh and birch bark,
with genseng for desert"
The Wheeling Register, the Park
ersburg Indc1, the Morgantown Post,
and the Moorefeld Examiner, all pub
lished outside of the Third District,
are earnestly advocating Charleston,
When a Clarksburg paper has oc-
casion, as it frequently does, to refer
to the people of the Third District, it
calls them "tho seng-diggers."
Cincinnati Commercial June 25th:
The Russians have effected cross
ing of the Danube near Braila, and
may compel the abandonment of the
Dobrudscha by the Turks. II is not
likely, however, that the main often
sive movement will be there. The
country is marshy and unhealthful,
full of malarious ponds and treacher-
Gus boys. Besides, even if the Rus
SLAMS should be able to cast up high
way, as they are reported to be doing
in the neighborhood of Matchin, a
long march through a difficult coun-
try must be made before they can
turn the upper elbow of the Danube
and threaten Rassova or Silistria,-
1t is much more probable that the
main crossing will be made at or
near. Oltcnitza, which is about mid
way between Silistria and Rustchuk.
There are rumors that this crossing
ing under heavy fire has been at
tempted. If successful, the Russians
would have the advantage Of being
on solid ground above the marshy
and malcrlul district, and at once
threaten the railway from Varna to
Kustchuk, or any of the fortified Tur-
kish position north of Shumla.

Crop reports are generally favor
able on 10Th sides Of the Atlantic.
The New York Bulletin publishes
very full information, which seems
to be collected with unusual care.
OF appearances in our own country,
this is the latest summary: "Our
special crop reports from the North
west, it sill be observed, are in the
main as favorable as could be desired.
The recent rains have done little
damage except in Kansas. In the
Gulf States they have also hada great
deal of wet weather of late; but so
far from working injury to the crops,
we are told everything has q better
look in consequence. The wheat is
the best crop ever made, and the corn
and cotton are clean and doing well"
The same paper, speaking of the
heavy rains in the Northwestern
States. saws: ave see nothing in
their reports of injury to corn to con-
ilict with the heretofore assurances
of our correspondent that wheat and
oats are safe" In the Dominion, ac-
cording to the Toronto Globe, "the
crops make vigorous advancement
under the present exceptional fine
growing weather. Wheat is looking
Well in every section of the province,
and is probably free from danger OF
failure. This season the area OF win,
ter wheat is largely increased, and
there is now growing greater acre;
age than has been known for several
years.

Secretary Sherman, when United
States Senator, declared that the
bond holder ought to take for his
bonds the same kind of money that
he paid for them. What he meant
was that as the bonds were sold for
greenbacks, they should be paid off
in greenbacks. People are now anx-
iously inquiring whether the Secre-
tary is prepared to adhere to this
principle, and whether, when asking
for subscriptions to the new loans of
gold coin, he intends to pledge him,
self that they shall be paid in that
kind of money. No answer has been
made as yet to the inquiry, but UNI
til one comes Of a nature to reassure
the timid investor, the new loan is
likely to hang fire. To pay for the
bonds in gold, with the Likelihood of
being repaid in silver or perhaps
paper, is not an attractive financial
operation.

There IS n party in this country which
proposes to undo the work OF the Fathers,
to incorporate the religious creed OF Il
portion of the people into the Cunstitu-
tion, and thus to take II long step back
ward toward the time "when Church and
State were weddrd." The creed which
this party proposes to inject into the
frame work of our government is in these
words acknowledging Almighty God
as the Source of all authority and power
in civil government, the Lord Jesus
Christ as the ruler among the nations and
his revealed will us ofsupreme authority,

must not enter now upon any further ar

we firmly believe to be suhversive Of Re-

conviction that large majority even OF
those who embrace the creed in question
are opposed to the project for incorpor-

more clearly will it be made to appear
that the project is inimcal alike to

From Tie S. +. CaR.

Since the flight Of President Lerdo
from the Mexican capital his wherea.
bouts have hccn evolved in an interest
ing state of uncertainty, and his arrival
is daily expected, either in THE port or
New York. A rumOr that he had ar
rived here yesterday prevailed, ami, after
a search, Scnor Manual Cnsteluno was
found.
He is Representative Of the McXicnn
Congress from the State OF Siuuloa for
the past eight years, and arrived here on
Sunday night. The history OF the MrXi
can troubles as given briefly hy Scnnr
Castelmno, are as follows: Lrrtu has
been President Of the Republic for four
years, and upon the approach OF "a new
new election the question of 4 spcond
term was agitnted, and strong feeling
against establishing such precedent
was created although there was no pro
visions in the Constitution that iurbids
it. The election was held in October
last, and Congress declared LerdO re-
elected, by II vote Of lJ5 to 36. Ige-
sas, President OF the Supreme Court
and Vice President Of the Republic, held
that the election was illegal and fruudu-
lent, and submitted u motion to the Su
premG Court to declare it void. His ap.
plication was defeated by a large major.
ity, and he thcreupOn took it upon him.
sell to set the election aside and declare
himself President pro tenn. under the
Constitution. Meanwhile, Porlirio Diaz
had issued his Plan de TuXtepcc, rcius-
ing to recognize any legal government in
Mexico since January /, 1866, and de
caring himself President hy virtue of
his military authority as commander OF
the army. General Ignacio Mtjia, Min
letter of War; commander Of the Govern
ment troops, was in collusiou with Igle-
sias, and upon his defeat by Diaz joined
lglesias in GunnajuatO, where the latter
had taken his stand at the head of IA, 900
truups Dina took possession Of the City
Of Mexico in December, Lcrdo and his
government fleeing from the capital be-
fore him. The States rapidly sent in
their adherence to lnglesias, with the eX.
cepton of those under the military con-
trol of Dia2 and MatamOras, which still
remains faithful to LerdO. The latter
fled to MNrOnato, on the western coast,
with the intention Of leaving the coun.
try, as his cause was utterly hopeless
Senior CastelIano left Mexico ON the 18th
of December, and at that time lgesias
and Dia2 were l5O miles apart, marching
toward each other mt the head of their
respective armies.
Although Diaz is in possession of the
capital, the majority Ot the States are in
favor Of lgesias, who has some slight
show of law on his side since the flight
Of Lerdo, while Diaz is in open rebell-
ion against all law and authority. Cas-
tellano has no doubt Of the success OF Ig'
lesias, as he is at the head OF the regular
army, and his opponent is supported
