GLOWING apportionment

Mr.. Butterick thought, with Mr.
Camden, that it was better to leave the
raising Oi this money TO the trade CEN
tres, for if left to the separate counties
he was afraid nothing would be done.
Mr.. Baker moved to substitute for the
report the original apportionment by
Mr.. Schefield, as amended by Mr.. Byrne.
In support OF the proposition, he argued
that il the counties were clustered to-
gether, what was lacking in one would
be made up by the others, and il Wheel.
inc, for instance, found that Marshall
was not paying, she would send down
missionaries to stir the people up.
THIS CREATED QUITE A DISCUSSION,
IN which variety of opinions came out
In the course of it Mr.. Riley objected to
the plan which included Roane, which
he said would take the road ten miles
out of its course. Besides, Jackson
would contribute much more 10 the
funds. Mr.. Campbell objected TO Mr..
Bakers proposition on general princi.
pies, but particularly because he had
had experience in the line OF going on
soliciting tour into other counties, and
knew it stirred up resentment. Mr..
Kemple fastened to corroborate this IN
regard to Marshall, which was in
stanced, and Mr.. Criswell made few
remarks in defense OF his county. Mr..
Camden thought Moundyile itself ought
to contribute $500, as it was particularly
interested and benefited.
Finally the question was demanded
on the resolution, and the substitute
was adopted by rising vote Of II to 9.
Mr.. But,erick submitted
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
which were adopted. They were brief
and TO the point. The Wheeling,
Parkersburg and Charleston" railroad is
to begin at the city of Wheeling, and
run by the most practicable route TO
Charleston. Its principal office is TO be
at - and the charter perpetual. The
capitol stock was - dollars and was
divided into shares OF - dollars each.
Upon motion of Mr.. Baker the fret
blank was filled with Parkersburg. Two
million dollars was made the capital
stock and shares were fixed at $50 each.
Mr.. Byrnc's motion 10 select nine cor
porators was adopted and the following
were chosen:
Ohio county-Capt. Mcclure and W.
+. Peterson.
Wood county-W. y. Chancellor, D.
+. Neal and c. II. Shattuck.
Pleasants-R. II. Browse.
Jackson-John H. Riley.
Kanawha-lsaac y. Smith and B. W.
Byrne.
All of these gentlemen were present
but Mr.. Smith and the articles were
signed and duly attested by notary.
Col. Byrne offered a resolution re.
questing the centres, Wheeling, Parkers.
burg and Charleston, to appoint solicit
ing committees, which was adopted.
There being no further business be-
fore the meeting, it was adjourned TO
meet at call.
