Legislative Notes.

We clip the following items from
The Richie Gazette, a Republican pa
per, edited by P. W. Morris:
Mr.. WI Hubbard, of Ohio county,
is the peer of any other member Of
the Legislature,
The Senate of this State contains
one physician-Dr, Barbee, Of Mason.
He is gentleman Of cultivation,
liberality and integrity.
Senator Donehoo, of Hancock coun.
ty, is one of the most discreet and
sagacious members of the State Sen
ate.
A number of the members Of the
Legislature pronounce the word "to"
as though it were spelled toe"
A man who exists sixty days in
the atmosphere of the hall Of the
House of Delegates, feels nearly as
well, we should think, as he would
in the middle of a tussle with the
typhoid fever.
The good looking giant represent.
ing Summers county in the House of
Delegates, frequently shook his side
whlskers before the wall of the Uni.
versity of this State, during the late
session. The walls still stand,
though.
When the Senator from Doddridge
county gets his eagle eye on anything
liberal for the newspapers, he is i'm.
mediately seized with spasm Of
economy. He had to pay a twelve
dollar printers fee once, and on ac.
count of his poverty has been in an
embarrassed financial condition ever
since.
An elephant, apparently, on the
hands of the Legislature, is to decide
what the papers which published the
constitutional amendments, shall be
paid. We suggest as the title for n
romance on the subject. "What will

in opposition to the desire of the ma.

in opposition to the desire of the
party which elected him TO the Unit

pected OF the time of his candidacy

licans in the Senate, no person at all
acquainted with the situation be
lieves that his election would have
been possible. We are disposed to
allow the Virginia senator's action
go before the coutry upon its demer-
its. There have not been wanting
those who have charged the admin.

control of Federal patronage in his
State. We await the development
of the truth or falsity of this charge.
