THE CAPITAL REMOVAL.
The most important event OF the day
was the introduction by Judge Stuart OF
III. b. No. 24O, as follows: BE il enacted
by the Legislature ui West Virginia:
That section o of chapter ~ OF the
/ Acts OF 1877, passed February DIST, en-
titled IAN act providing for the location
\ Oi permanent seat Oi government for
/ this State and the erection thcrcat Ot
| the necessary public buildings fpr the
| use of the state" be, and the same is
| hereby amended and re-enacted so rs
/ to read as follows:
80. As soon as possible after the first
day of MAY, 1879, the Governor shall
cause all the books, papers, records and
other personal property of the State,
| including the State library, pertaining
| % the several departments ot the gov
I crnment To- be removed 10 the pcrma-
ncnt seat of government, established

As the afternoon wore on toward five
O'Clock, the old question came up-the
same question that will come up during
night sessions: Shall We come back to-
night and cram things, or adjourn until
morning and give the committees a
chance? The usual hall dozen motions
were made 10 adjourn, tO take Il recess,
or what? l. the night session rcSolu-
ton "A standing rule of the House, or II
il only an order? But the impression got
around that mauy wanted tu attend
the labor meeting, ami the others sat
down upon this and a night session was
the result. IL can generally be- seen
that those who wish To cram at night
are those known as the ones who do all
the talking. IL they will have three
sessions, let them work during the day
and loose their supertuous steam at
night.
