West Virginia.

Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, has This to
say Of our State: Senator Davis is
now at the head of a railroad enter
prise, which, whom completed, will
develop an important section Of West
Virginia, and SO deeply has he the
success Of this enterprise at heart
that he will probably resign his seat
in the in the Senate before the 4th
Of March, in order to devote all his
time and energies TO its accomplish
mcnt. Mr.. Camden is equally in
earnest about building a road from
Wheeling to Parkersburg, and from
Parkersburg through jackson and
Roane counties TO Charleston, and
one from Charlestonup through Brax,
ton to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. West Virginia is destined to
become vast hive Of manufacturing
industry from the Northern 10 the
Eastern Panhandle and to the Great
Kanawha. She has salt, she has
coal, she has iron, she has timber,
and her hills are wonderfully we'll
adapted to the growing of WOOL
With most beautiful and equitable
climate, abundance of water, cheap
coal and timber, and the facilities for
labor to live cheaply, she can com.
pete with any section of America in
manufacturing, and with a few broad
minded, able and liberal men olead
in the work, the next decade will see
West Virginia on the high road to
the 'front.'"

Dog Tax.

Editor Register The County Court
during its existence, decided to tax
dogs rs cents, and directed them to
be listed for taxation. Now that the
matter has been fully discussed and
the fact is developed that the people
are in favor Of this measure as a
matter Of welfare and expediency for
The county, would it not be well for
the county commissioners to fix the
tax at 50 or rs cents? Twenty-Five
cents is so small u sum that it will
not free US from any worthless dogs
and will hardly be worth the collect
ing. An effort will be made to get
the Legislature to pass q State law,
such as they have in Ohio and other
States. But this may fail, and in the
meantime it would be we'll for US to
get the law we have in good working
order.
Let the Commissioners consider
this matter.

The Rival bitches of General

[From our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IS, 1880.
The week has been dull, and legis.
lation dilitory, at tho Capital. In
both houses Of Congress the more i'm
portant subjects have been compelled
TO yield to questions that arouse par
ty antagoDism and provoke endless
debate.
On Monday Senator Randolph
brought up the Fitz John Porter bill
in the Senate, and Senator Morgan's
concurrent resolution for counting
the electoral vote has been the fruit.
ful.theme of talk in the House. La.
ter in the week the education and
the pension bills were discussed, and
an adjournment from the 22nd, inst,
to the 4th, proximo was agreed upon.
But, if it has been dull at the Cap
ital in the legislative branches, the
Cabinet, the Supreme Court, the lob
by, and society, have furnished an
abundance of the raw material from
which news is made. Nor must l
omit to mention a score of women
whose names are more or less famil-
lar to those who read the papers, and
who are here on their annual agita-
ton of the sex in suffrage question.
| heard them speak their pieces last
night at Lincoln Hall, and for a
change of entertainment, they fur
nish an excellent foil to Congress.
For some reason Mrs. Atty, Belva A.
Lockwood, Sarah J. Spencer, DR..
Mary Walker, and other local celeb.
rites have taken no part in the pres.
ent convention. Strife has for some
years been brewing, and the enthusi-
aim of u great cause is not ardent
enough to weld flows and chasms.
Guess they are mad about something.
The resignation of Justice Strong
of the Supreme Court of the United
States had been long expected, but
the appointment, as his successor, of
Judge Woods was very unexpected.
The appointee is native of Ohio,
who, n few years ago emigratrd, with
his brother-in-law Ex-senator Will
lard A. Warner, to Alabama. His
appointment is resented in the SEN
ate by many who are jealous of the
somewhat wholesale preferment OF
ohioans to places of highest national
honor and emolument. Nothing,
however, of q personal character has
been urged against Judge Woods, and
there is little doubt that he will be
confirmed by the Senate.
Secretary Thompson's resignation,
in connection with General Grants
visit to Washington, has been the
subject of much gossip in political
and diplomatic circles. General
Grant has, without much effort on
his part, become identified with a
rival water roule hnlwcon Tim ,oo,n,
