The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1881-02-23

The Wheeling Register is under.
stood TO be a railroad paper and in
lss reports never fails 10 do injustice
No those engaged on the side Of the
people, concerning Railroad Ieeisla,
ton. This is particularly noticeable
IN its report Of Wilson's speeches.
and his conflicts with the railroad
side Of the House. The report in
to days Register, Of yesterdays pro
csedings, present Mr.. Wilson as apol.
ogizing after Mr.. Morrow's resolution
was offered, when in fact he made
nothing but an explanation, and that
was made before Mr.. Morrows rssolu.
ton was read, and before any one
knew what the resolution contained.
The following is from the Iatelii.
gencer
AT Che opening Of the afternoon
session M, Lowry moved to recon-
slider the vote by which the House
adopted the resolution offered by Mr..
Morrow, and amended on motion Of
Judge Ferguson. Mr.. Morrow then
moved TO lay the whole matter upon
the table, which was done.
Mr.. Mofiett moved that the whole
proceedings had in the matter be ex.
plunged from therecord. Mr. Morrow
objected to this, however, insisting
that theresolution adopted in the
s--..eenssbould ~ tSdfaed apun the
record Of the proceedings, Mr.. Nor.
row said he did this that there might
be upon the record a perpetual re-
minder Of the fact that this House
did not consider the language which
occasioned the resolution breach Of
its privilege or a mark Of disrespect.
He thought this was the significance
of the resolution as adopted, and he
wanted the fact preserved.
Mr.. Wilson retorted: eyes, let il
remain upon the record as a perpet-
ual reminder Of the animus exhibited
by the gentleman from Marion, a
species Of personal venom which is
utterly without precedent in the
history Of the Legislature of this
Stale" He went on to say that
when he had personal quarrel with
any gentleman lie had the manliness
10 tell him so; and if the gentleman
from Marion had any cause of quar-.
rel with him (Wilson he could get
all the satisfaction he wanted at any
time,
This straight forward talk the Reg
ister slurs over moving Mr.. Morrow
in as good position as possible
The Register speaks of Wilson as be-
ing nervous, &c, during this set.to,
but having watched him closely
throughout, we are of the opinion
that he was never cooler and calmer
in his life, when addressing an audi
ence.
THE ROAD LAW.
The road law was under considera-
ton yesterday, and many of the OBJ
jectionable features stricken from it.
Still the Bill is not such a one as
should pass. 1t is now on the table,
where ! hope it will remain.
THE JUSTICE BILL
is now on its third reading. 1t is a
very long bill, containing 240 Sec
tions and 81 pages. The reading
will hatdly be completed today.
DIR. BARBEE's
Ferry Bill is not law as is supposed.
1t has not been up in this House yet,
and if It does come up, doubt if it
will evsr pass.
THE AMENDMENT.
The prohibitory amendment to the
constitution has been up in the Sen
ate since yesterday, on a motion to
indefinitely postpone it. Speeches
were made in favor of the motion by
Dennis of Greenbrier, Faulkner, OF
Berkels Wood, of Ohio, and others.
The pr'hibitionists are supported by
Brown,of Jackson, Barbee, of Mason,
Smith, Of Marion, and others whose
names I cannot now recall. The
opinion is that the Senate will kill
the amendment.
THE DOG LAW.
1t seems hard to get law passed
for theprotection of sheep that will
suit the different counties. The Bill
that has been under consideration
has been tabled, so as to bring in q
substitute for it, which will be re.
ported tomorrow.
STOCK LAW.
The Stock Bill, providing that
counties might adopt a stock law
