The wheeling Register.

WE have always admired the forego-
ing named paper, on account OF us
pluck, enterprise and ability. Ever
Since we have known the REGISTER, it
has been bright, sparkling and newsy.
Lately, however, il has taken an
immense stride forward, and is now
one of the leading newspapers OF the
country.
On last Saturday, the REGISTER
moved into commodious, new, four
story brick building, erected by its
proprietors. 1t celebrated the occasion
by appearing in clear, bold-face, hand
some new drers oftype, which renders
II lust as pretty as = lovely bride. In
addition il was printed, for the first
time ON a ponderous four cylinder rotary
press. known all over the world as the
Hoe. 1t announces that it has doubled
its editorial force, which Is evidenced by
the immense amount Of labor performed
on it. We sincerely congratulate the
REGISTER on its eminent position. NO
one more desires the prosperiety OF w est
Virginia papers than we do. All OF
them, from the greatest to the smallest,
have our best wishes for success. Such
tokens as the REGISTER gives, convince
ms of the progress in the Press OF the
State we heartily rejoice over the fsct.

The New bankrupt Law.

WASHINGTON, December l0.-The Sub
Committee on Bankruptcy Law, of which
Senator Ingalls, is Chairman, has completed
the work assigned to it, and the report Is
prepared Mr.. Ingalls, has worked steadily
all Summer in collecting information on
the subject Over 20, 700 circulars were sent
to merchants. manufacturers, lawyers and
commercial bodies, asking opinions aS to
the necessity OF q national Bankrupt La"
end suggestions as to the provisions.
Great interest appears to have been taken
bv business men. and many thousand let
tcrs were received. The proportion OF an
swers favorable to the enactment OF some
law were overwhelming, very few were OPP
nosed to it outside of the great cities. and
these were generally great jobbing houses
whose business was great enough to ailo"
them TO promptly take advantage OF snap
judgements and preferences in settlements
Much objection was found to exist to the
re-establishment of the machinery OF the
old bankruptcy law. The members
of the subcommittee, are favorable to the
suggestion which originally came from
ChIt ago business men, that the United
States District Courts be given charge OF
the bankruptcy proceedings, with special
provisions to enforce their Judgment. IL Is
known that Senator Edmunds fsyors TINS
idea. The report of the subcommittee TlII
be made TO the full committee on Monday

Our special dispatches detail what ap-
pears to be well founded rumor, that
an effoIt is being made to form a coali-
ton between the Democratic and Re
publican members of the Virginia Leg
stature, so as to secure the return of
General Wickham, Republican, to the
Senate and defeat Riddleberger. We
hope the rumor is not true, or if it be
true, that the arrangemet will not be
completed. The Democrats of Nir-
ginia made o manly, earnest fight on
principle and We're only defeated
BY the most lavish use of money and the
whole power of the federal government.
Having made that fight, they have moth
ing to do with the result. Let the Re
publicans reap all the benefit they can
from their unholy league, and bear all
the responsibilities which it entails. If
they and their allies follow the usual
rule, and fall out over q division of the
spniis, well enough; but we sincerely
hope that no persuasiOns will induce the
Democrats of Virginia to tarnish their
fair record by becoming parties to any
such arrangement as that proposed.

rard and Miss Kate Johnson. The high

is the head magnate of the banking house of
Sherrard, Mooney & Co., and is one OF the
wealthiest citizens of SteubenVille. The
bride is the daughter of the late DR.. ThoS
Johnson, and has the advantage OF coming

WASHINGTON, December ll.-There isa re-
port. tonight, OF a coalition arranged by
the Democrats of this city between the
straightout Republican members and the
Democratic members of the Virginia Legis-
lature, by which Gen. Wickham is to be
elected Senator in place of Johnston. 1t is
stated that Senator Barnum left here this
afternoon to arrange the details. The plan
is said to be feasible, as the COM
bincd Democratic and Republican vote in
the two Houses is sufficient TO elect
on joint ballot, and the Republicans are in
clined to cut loose from Malone.
The parties interested in the extension OF
Senator DaVis's railroad from Piedmont
have ordered a preliminary survey to be
made from the Fairfax Stone to the mouth
Of Gauley, and Major George Ii. MOffatt
leaves Washington tonight to take direc-
ton of it. It is probable that the survey
will be continued from the mouth Of Gauley
TO the Ohio River at Point Pleasant

The McCune family, who kept the board

An ABLE SERMON ON A TIMELY DPfc.

While the country has read mu,h of
Gaiteau, and has been generally 50 dis
gusted with theconduct of that nurde-
rer, at the same'time we believe they
will be glad to rsad the eloquent views
of the Brooklyn pastor on the cause
which led to the tragic event which
plunged the country in gloom. 1t is Ia
mentally true that there does exist in
this country, among a certain class,
whom the Reverend. Doctor well calls
"able-bodied beggas," a feeling that
manual labor is disgraceful, and
this feeling, and the attempt to live with
out complying with the universal law,
pronounced for all mankind, has led %
a growth of a class of men who now
constitute the "dead beats,n swindlers,
rogues and occasionally afun developed
seonndrettd, % td,paS %haan and a' one Gi'; well worthy
thoughtful consideration. The instances
cited by the reverend gentleman, Of the
lowly beginnings of some of the greatest
and most brilliant men of all ages, could
be indefinitely extended, but, as he
truthfully says, it is seldom that one
who labors under the disadvantages Of
wealth in early life, ever achieve great
ness. Labor is the law of our being, and
if not genius, it is very excellent sub
stitute for that gift.
