The Clarksburg NerS takes farewell Of
the capital question by giving the public to
understand that fraud or no fraud in the
Third district the people Of ClarkSburs Will
enter into no contest over the result. 1t was
not Charleston nor the Third district that de-
icated ClarkSbury, says the Meas, but cher
nciehbors and those who should have been
her friends
"The jealousy, and we might say &c
vcngciul spirit OF Parkersburg, the bar
gain and sale made by Morgantown in the
interest OF the University. and the dcs-
pcralc game played BY Wheeling to de-
feat IN election, defeated Clarksburg and
located the capital permanently at Charles
ton. Either OF these causes was su1li-
cient. We do not complain OF Wheeling,
however, She desired to retain the capi-
tai and was afraid to bring out her vote,
as she feared an election would be the re-
suit. 1t would, us she now sees, been far
better il her full vote had come out and
been cast for Martinsburg, if it could not
have been cast for Clarksburg, for thereby
she would have gained her obiect--the de-
feat OF an election. We do attach great
blame to Parkersburg and Morgantown.
There was no excuse for their conduct.
They have no interest III common with
Charleston, hut they both have with
Clarkshurg. The former was actuated by
jealousy and revenge for imaginary wrongs.
the latter by mercenary motives. There is
no excuse for either OF them giving ten
votes for Charleston"

NEW YORK, August 2l.-President Or
ton, OF the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, was interviewed this morning IN re-
gard to the terms OF contract drawn up be-
tween his company and the Atlantic ana

tic and Pacific 12s per cent. OF the gross
earnings OF the pooled receipts OF both
companies. The contract drawn up was,
