on the floor, and was chosen President
pro tenn.
AS there are only two or three Re
publicans in the Senate, there was
no candidate placed in opposition to
Col. johnson, and his election was
unanimous.
F. N. Cunningham was chosen
Clerk, and II. G. Butler was chosen
assistant Clerk of the Senate, and ii.
C. Duncan, Thomas w. Keller and
Thomas F. Parke were elected com
mittee clerks.
The House was called to order by
j. B. Peyton, who called Mr.. Penny
hacker, of Pendleton, to the chair,
he being the oldest member present.
The members were then sworn, and
proceeded to organize by electing
officers. Capt. Moffett was placed in
nomination by Monroe, of Hampshire,
and Hon. j. NJ. Hagans, Of Monon-
gala, was placed in nomination by
DR.. Logan, of Ohio county. Moffett
received 81 votes and Hagans s.
Hagans came within IS votes of being
elected. There was no tie in this
election. Col. Johnson and Capt.
Moffett both made appropriate re-
marks upon taking their positions as
presiding officers. The usual COM
mittees were announced, which we
give elsewhere, and both houses pro-
ceeded TO business, and the work has
been progressing. The bills have
been pouring in by the score, and
all seem determined to make the SEES
sion one of peace and harmony, and
of business. The utmost good feel
ing prevails amongst the delegates of
all political parties, and the session
promises to be one of great useful
ness and efficiency. AS the business
progresses we will keep our readers
posted as well as our limited space
will allow us.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.


On the 9th of January, Governor
Henry M. Mathews sent to the Leg
islature his message, as required by
law, which was read and ordered to
be printed. The Message is quite
lengthy, and it would be impossible
for US, in the columns Of the New Do
MINIoN, to give the text of it, but we
advise oul readers by all means to
procure q copy and read it. 1t is a
mastery review of the affairs of the
State, and makes many wise and val
liable suggestions as to the wants ofthe
State so far as legislation is concern
ed. A most satisfactory knowledge
of the condition of the State treas
ury is obtained from the tabular
statements given by the Governor,
showing that at the end of the fiscal
year, 1878, there was balance in
the treasury of $313,801.92, much
larger balance than was ever before
found remaining in the State treas
ury at the end of any fiscal year.
The Governor transmits with his
message the reports of the various
educational and charitable inititu
tons, and makes valuable suggestions
as to the enactments needed or re-
quired for their support, maintenance
and regulations, all of those are re-
ported in most excellent working con-
dition, though some of them, espe-
cially the Insane Asylum, are in
need of increased facilities, which
His Excellency recommends the Leg
islature to provide for.
The Message refers to the chaotic
condition of our statute laws and re-
commends that that the Legislature
should provide commission to codi-
fy and index and arrange them, the
wisdom of which suggestion is APP
parent to any one who is at all famil-
lar with the laws.
In addition, the Governor in his
Message refers to quite a number of
the laws that are defective, and points
cut the legislation necessary to make
them operative and efectual.
Report is made by the Chief
Executive of his action in reference
to the July riots, and recommends
tions are made with reference to pro-
vidin g more efficient and better or
ganiz ed military force, and for the
payment of the brave soldier boys
who eft, bled and died" last summer
in putting down the rioters, who
struck not for their fresides and
their homes, but for higher wages.
A Geological survey is recon
mcnded. Encouragement of the
work undertaken by the Fish Com
missioners, of stocking the rivers
and waters of the State with food
fish. And some recommendations
are made in reference to the settle
ment of the question of West Vir-
ginia's liability for a portion of the
old Virginia State debt.

DEMOCRATIC LIBERALITY.

In looking over the Committees
selected by Col. johnson, President
of the Senate, and by Capt. Mofett,
Speaker of the House, it will perhaps
surprise Republicans, as well as
Democrats, to find the prominent Re
publican members given most honor
able positions. DR.. Logan, Repub-
lican, of Ohio county, is made chair
man of the committee on Taxation
and Finance, which is a very high
compliment to that gentlemen, and
exhibits liberality that never was
found to exist in the Republican
This is one Of the most important
committees, and Republican is
placed at the head Of it.
J. Marshall Hagans, of this coun-
ty, has been placed on the Judicsary
committee, the committee on Mines
and Mimi g of which he is chair
man and the committee on Rules,
three very important committees.
Senator VIM. c.. McGrew, of this
county, is on four committees, viz. 3:
Education, Federal Relations, Mines
and Mining, and Rules, all positions
Of the frc+ N, oOpitu1o
This is certainly very compliment
airy to Messrs. Hagans & McGrew,
and is an additional evidence of Dem
ocratic liberality We endorse the
liberal policy pursued by President
johnson and Speaker Moffett. And
although the Republican party was
always illiberal to the very extreme,
it is right that they should have Goals
of fire heaped upon their heads, as
our Legislature is now doing. Col.
Johnson and Capt. Moffett are not
only liberal gentlemen, but they are
capable and efficient presiding, and Of
ficers are doing honor to the positions
which they occupy, as we'll as the po-
lltical party to which they belong.

Congress has now seven weeks in
which to dispose of the entire business
before it. There is some question
whether that will be time enough, and
whether an extra session will not,
after all, be necessary. Undoubtedly
the house could transact all the le-
gitimate routine business, and have
some time to devote to the various
important matters that do not come
under that head; but there is going to
be trouble with the Republican SEN
ate which may cause serious delay.
Of the six appropriation bills passed
by the House before the recess, three
have been acted upon in the Senate,
and numerous extravaganza amend
ments attached to them increasing
their aggregate amounts more than
fifty per cent. And these are only
the minor bills over which there is
-
seldom much disagreement. The re-
naming seven include the two most
important-the Legislative, executive
and judiciary, and the sundry civil
bills-in these are embraced some
items which the House will decide to
cut out, and which in all conscience
should be cut out. Mr.. Deyen' little
bill for the payment of his supervisors
and deputy marshals, and John Sher-
mans estimate for his secret service
bureau, are two specimen items. Not
one dollar of public money should be
voted for either of these, and if the
House stands firm the Senate will be
forced to concur Or take the response
bllity of an extra session.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

The Walking Match.

The most exciting event OF the fair was, with
out doubt, the walking match, which took place
yesterday. Very few Of our people had ever
seen . pedestrian contest. and expectation was
wrought to q very high pitch. As finally ar
ranged, the purse was S35; go to the first, $40 to
the second, and s5 to the third. The following
entries were made: John A. Lockhart, Jr., OF
wellington; Thomas Hale, of Lexington i Wm.
NJ. Anderson, OF Wellington; Andy Kassiner
and - West, of Kansas City, and George W.
Barker, Of Cameron. The judges were, Col.
Ben. Elliott, Joseph b. Shelby, Joseph b.
Page, Irwin ZeysIng, Jr., and James Catron.
The contestants were to walk for one hour, q
fair, square, heel and toe walk, the men making
the greatest distance to get the money. 1t soon
became apparent that Lockhart was the fastest
walker, and West, who was making q toleraoIs
fair second, with Hale just at his heels, became
impatient. Lockhart soon crowded Barker
who dropped out OF the race, and was ABOUT 10
pass Ksssimer. when the latter began TO rum
only a little at nrst, but finally a clear. open
run. The walk continued, with every
man but--Lockhart straining every muscle. and

Kansas City. latter having gained a lap on him,
| when that individual could stand it no Longer

| and broke into a run. Cries of foul greeted him
| from every side, and cheers for Lockhart went
| mp from q thousand throsts. From that time on
the Kansas City men did, not seem to care to
| walk fairly, and the crowd ceased to notice
them. hale made a squirt as il to pass Lockhart.
but the latter's peculiar reaching stride soon
carried him out OF danger. and the question was
virtually settled that Lockhart. had frat money
Hale second and Anderson third. The score
stood, Hale 40 n roundss Lockhart, so Gle
Anderson, 4sk; Kassimer, 81, and West 81. The
time made WAS 5k miles per hour. The judges
without hesitation ruled West and Kassimel
