WHEELING, August l2.-Late adj
VICES from the interior counties OF
the State indicate that Charleston,
Kanawha County, has really receiv-
cd a majority of all the votes cast at
the election, last week, to choose u
permanent seat of government
This calculation is based upon unof-
fetal returns from the Third District,
which is reported to give Charleston
$4,000, which added to what she re-
ceiyed in the First and Second Dis
tricts, would make a total of about
10000. 1t is evident from this that
Charleston has received majority
of from 1000 to 5000 over the aggre-
gate vote of Martinsburg and Clarks,

WASHINGTON, August Ex-senator
Blaine is probably about to hedge on
the opposition tolhe Administration
speculation. He has written to an
intimate friend here, that he fears
the Southern question will be lost
sight of in the agitation of the labor
troubles. He does not say that he is
impressed that he would better de
vote himself to the labor question,
bnt it is estimated that he will be by
the time Congress meets.
General Ben. Butler is understood
to be in active preparation as the
workingmen's peculiar advocate in
Congress next session. He discov-
ers his great opportunity, and would
not refuse nomination to the Presi-
dency from the new party which he
hopes to build up by 1880.
General Crook has been telegraph
ed for in connection with the Sitting
Bull Commission, and will probably
come East shortly.
The Blaine men say that Conkling
will co operate with them. They
say that as much rs he hates Blaine
he dislikes Schurz and Evarts still
more, and he will make war upon
the Administration over their should
ers.
Acting Secretary Mccormic yester-
terday issued circular to the en-
ployes of the Treasury Department,
stating that the creditof the Govern,

creditors seeking their just dues from

Just debts would be paid, and that if

The campaign in Ohio WILDE look
ed to with interest. The Democrats
in their platform have sQuarely de
clared in favor of the repeal of the re.
sumption act, the rcmoneti2ing ofsil
yer and against further contraction
of the currency; and assert that
groonbacks is the best paper curren'
cy we ever had. The contrary is as
sumed by the Republican platform
There is no doubt but the Democrat,
ic platform meets the approval of a
majority the people ofOhio. There
is a small Republican majority in
the State, however, on strict party
vote and the great question of the
campaign will be, whether MAORI
ty of the people will vote their sen.
timcnts, or whether party prejudice
will rule the hour and induce men to
vote contrary to their interest and

The centralizationists who cry out
so Justify for a larger standing army
because the use of troops has just been
required in new fields, forget that
they will be required no longer to
sustain carbet-bag minority rule in
tho South. Released rom the work
of defending the mock government
of Returning Boards, organizing Leg
islaturcs and bull.dozing the white
people of that section, our army is
amply sufficient to aid State govern
ments in the North in maintaining
law and order. The army should be
reduced instead of increased, a
standing army of ten thousand men
is enough for times Of peace, Each
State should have a small but well
organized and efficient military force
for use in sudden emergencies, and
then with ten thousand regulars to
reinforce when necessary, there will
be no danger of successful resistance
to the laws. Business prosperity is
a better preventive Of such disorders
than a standing army.

Congress will probably be asked at
its next session, to modify the laws
relating to the sale of pine lands be-
longing to the Government They
can now be acquired only by pre-
emption or homestead, except by the
location of certain kinds of scrip, but
presumption or settlement under the
homestead laws is utterly impossible.
No man can make a farm ont Of pine
lands and to gain legal possession of
them he must swear to a lie, This
prevents the disposition ofany Of the
lands except to unprincipled persons
who are willing to resort to evasion
to secure them. The change that
has been talked of is to have the
lands properly appraised, and held at
u fair price. The pine lands of Min
nesota are worth on an average from
ten to thirty collars m acre, and it is
held that there is no reason why they
should not be sold at those rates

cause lumbermcn dislike to buy land
