An Important Movement Looking 10 city
improvements. ,.


Al the meeting OF Council on Tuesday
evening, DIR. Logan offered the following
resolution in the Second Branch: y go
Reolrtd, That the Committee on Streets
and Alleys, with the aid Of the City solic-
itor, be instructed to prepare a'bill, 10 be
submitted to the Legislature of West Vir-
ginia at its next meeting, providing that
the CITY Of Wheeling Shall on and after
the passage OF an act by the Legislature Of
West Virginia granting the necessary pow.
en-, have authority to order or contract
for the paving OF any unpaved streets and
alleys Of the city OF Wheeling upon the
following conditions or terms, viz: that
the expense Of Curbing and Of paving in
tcrsections OF streets and alleys shall be
paid by the city; that the expense OF paw
ing the streets, except at intersections as
aforesaid, shall be borne rs follows: two
thirds by the property holders whose
property is located on the streets aud
alleys ordered to be paved (being one
third to the property holders on each side),
and onc-third by the city. ~ a 7'5
RssOlred, That the Committee on Streets
aud Alleys be instructed to incorporate in
said bill such provisions Ms may be re.
quired TO carry into effect the object OF the
foregoing resolution, and report the same
to Council, at its regular meeting in Jan.
uary, 1879, for final revision and adoption.
We regard this as ono Of the most i'm
portdut resolutions offered in Council fol
many days. The city of Wheeling ha.
long felt the need Of the authority Askct
for in this resolution. Our system OF paw
ing has been simply disgracetui TO Ii,
community. We have streets in the yer,
heart Of the city that are nothing NOR
than country roads, in which wagons sinl
afoot deep in winter mud, and that are GOV
eredwith several inches OF dust in the sum
mer, The residents on these streets hav
been unwilling to undertake any improve
mcnts after the plan contemplated in tn
resolution, on the ground that they hav
paid tax for the improvement Of othe
streets and are entitled TO the same i'm
proyements at the general expense. A
there Is no authority to enforce any othe
plano Improvement nor money enoug
in the treasury to extend the old system

The Appropriation Committee have
settled down to the conviction that It
would be very poor policy for The Dem
ocrats to force IN extra session OF the
FortyIsixthth Congress. They feel con.
tideft that the struggle over the
Senate officers, as we'll as those over
the House, would prove % most un.
seenly affair. They floslre, also 10 delay
as long as possible any opportunity for the
Greenback men to Introduce trouble by
independent action. They say, also, that
most. of tho leaders ofithe party feel conf.
dent that 1t will be for the better to wait
until December before assuming the entire
responsibility for the legislative branch OF
the government.
coNURRSING THE INDIAN TERRITORY
It is pretty well understood that the

railroads, will decide when the report is
made in February TO favor the opening Of
Indian Territory to settlement, and to
make tia Territory OF the United States,

There is little or no change in the con.
dtion OF the river. Notwithstanding the
mild weather and the tenderness OF the
Ice, the gorge still holds. Commodore
Hornbrook, with the towboat Annie Kelly,
had no difficulty in breaking up the ice
from short distance below the suspension
bridge to the mouth OF the creek, and the
whole body OF ice moved probably hum
dred and fifty feet, breaking off little
above the bridge. All day Yesterday at
intervals the Kelly passed back and forth
without difficulty, keeping clear opening
on the east side Of the river. Under the
soitening influence ofthe present warmish
weather. the gorge cannot hold any length
OF time. At this hour, midnight, It is
showing hard, but unless q freeze sets In

PARTISAN COALITIONS.

An exciting campaign is now opened
in California. The Kearneyites are
first in the field with full ticket. The
Sand Lot Orator and would-be dictator
has marshaled his hosts for the contest.
He counts among his auxiliaries those
who were his most violent opponents a
few months ago. The tone of the anti
Constitution press and speakers indi-
cate that the corporations have formed
an alliance for offensive and defensive
purposes, with the President of the w.
p. c.. and that he is now literally sup
Piled with the sinews of war. The
truth of the adage that politics make
strange bed-fellows " is now apparent in
California. Kearney, who few
months ago was denounced by the cor
poration organs as dreaded communist,
is now eulogized as a hero. All his
TRADES on the sand lots and elsewhere
are given to the public through their
columns. Every word that he utters
against the New Constitution party, or
Honorable Bilks" as he styles them,
is printed in display lines for the edit
cation of the people, and it is plainly
evident that he has been paid his price
for playing his cards to suit the cor
porations. Every move of kearney in
dicates that it is made in the interest of
men who run the Republican machine,
and that the leaders of the rings
and the sand lot gatherings have
formed a coalition. Against this
combination the New Constitution
party and the Democrats must unite
if they hope to succeed. The
State Conventions of these parties
will be held about the same time, I'M
doubtedly with view of uniting their
forces, and nominating a joint ticket
by which the Democrats may get the
congressman and the New Constitution
party the Legislature. In this event
Kearney and the corporation Republi-
cans will be arrayed on one side and the
Constituencies and Democrats on the
other.

The erection of statue to Thomas
Paine in st. Louis, Missouri, is bitterly
opposed by the churchmen. Bishop
Cox characterizes this honor to the
memory of a distinguished citizen, who
battled for the rights of man III the
the revolution, as "byena worship.
He says in the New York Independent:
"Here is an epoch in the history OF
fanaticism. There have been dog-wor-
shippers and calf-worshippers and
snake-worshippers. 1t is left for the
atheists on the shores of the Mississippi
to out Herod the superstitions OF the
Nile; to set up hyena and cry: Such
be thy gods, o Republic of America!
Paine was not an atheist; but he was,
morally, a hyena, His habits, his
features, and his character were those
of this foul animal.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has
settled the difficulty he had with
the Cumberland County Agricultural
Society of Maryland, because of his
failure to lecture last Fall at the fair,
according to contract, after they had
spent large sum in advertising him.
The society instructed its officers to sue
Beecher for $4,000 damages. At
length Mr.. Beecher offered to settle the
case by giving lecture this Fall, and
it is understood that his offer was ac-
cepted on the condition that the
lecturer was to get no fee.

An old farmer in England, hugely
puzzled over our meteorological reports
and transatlantic prophecies concerning

himself of the following astounding sem

and ordered by Providence; but now
that it has been handed over to them
interfering Yankees, why, be hanged if

NO BAYONETs AT THE POLLS.

Judge Davis, of Illinois, the coming
man for the Presidency, in presenting
in the Senate resolutions adopted by
members of the Illinois Legislature, de-
nouncing military interference with
elections, said: cit is hardly neces-
sary for me to say that | in favor of
the perfect freedom OF elections from
the interference or the presence of any
part of the army at the polls, because
chat opinion was emphatically expressed
sn the floor of the Senate. This is a
Government Of civil authority founded
on the Constitution and the laws made
in pursuance thereof. One of the
grievances of which our torefathers
complained, was that the King had
auartered troops on them, and had
sought by military power to coerce
them into submission. 1t is little less
than public scandal, after century
Of national existence, that any party
could venture to ask the peoples APP
proval of a species of tyranny that is
forbidden in England and wherever else
the parliamentary principle is re
spected."
