THE Bellaire Daily Independent of
Monday says: "We understand that no
bill for the removal of the county-seat
is to be presented to the Legislature this
winter at all, and that 'the matter will
be let go over till next season without
action. A bill may be introduced at the
adjourned session..
If it is true. as the Hon. Wagner of
Belmont is diligently asserting to the
members of the House at Columbus,
that he was elected on the "Removal
ISSUE" why not press the Removal hob
by to vote in the Legislature the pres
ent session. To disinterested observer
the course marked out by the Independ-
ent to be pursued, indicates a lack of
confidence in the success of the measure
on the part of its friends.

HE dissatisfaction caused

THE dissatisfaction caused among
members of the House of Representa-
tives by the manner in which the vari-
GUS committees have been constituted,
found expression on Thursday in pub
lie protest of Mr.. Orth. of Indiana, who
declined to take the place on the COM
mittee on Rules to which he was as
signed, with the Speaker as chairman of
the committee. Mr.. Orth said that he
had served twelve years as a member of
the House, and that he had been a men,
Der and chairman of several important
committees, including that of Foreign
Affairs, and that to ignore or slight a
representative in making up the COM
mittees is disregarding the interests and
dignity of his constituents. He also gave
notice that he should introduce and ad-
vocate proposition that the standing
committees shall be appointed by the
House itself, instead of by the Speaker.

Now THAT the new year is fairly open.
the course of the wool trade assumes
new and increased interest to the hold
ing wool-grower. No great expectations
were entertained of the closing months
of 1881, but eastern wool commission
houses have so uniformly predicted good
things of the new year that people have
come to accept the probability as al
most certainty. If anything especial
ly good is in store for the grower it has
not yet cropped out, though the feeling
is unuuestionably excellent. 1t Is not
well to expect too much, and If slight
advance comes to take advantage of 1t
without delay.-Pitts. Stockman.

CONCERNING the reasons for the fight
of the colored people from South Carroll
ma to Arkansas, CORRESPONDENT of the
Charleston News and Courier gives the
best summary of the case when he says: ::
"The invariable complaints have been
that the negroes enjoy no political
rights; that they cannot vote at cleo
tions, and that if they do their ballots
are not counted; that they have no rep
resentation in the government, and that
their rights are in the keeping of hos
tile political party; that the rent of
land is so high. and the prices of provi-
sions so exorbitant. that they can't make
a living"
To person at this distance, it is not
clear how the colored people will fare
better in Arkansas than South Carolina.
1t looks like jumping out of the frying
pan into the fire.

REPRESENTATIVE e. JOHN Ell

REPRESENTATIVE E. JOHN ELLIS
(Democrat), of Louisiana. frankly said
the other day: "The Democratic party
is dying naturally of timidity and inac-
tion. 1t is without men or measures.
1t is not agreed on any policy. In the
states of the South it is losing ground.
Virginia is gone. There are grave fears
for other states. 1t is disrupted and
broken into divisions and factions in
nearly every Southern state. You know
its condition here. 1t is past praying
for, and if the South breaks up, the
Democratic party is thing of the past. "
1t is good thing to tell the truth some

kick for his detection from the Metho-
dist Church. 1t says: when a man,
whose mother has nursed him tenderly,
comes to the conclusion to disown her
because there are some things she sees
lit to withhold from him, the peignancy
of her grief will be somewhat dulled by
the consideration of the ingratitude he
manifests."

o1s. The total reduction during the
