THE SHERIAB Three Per Q Of.
Funding Bill ssqms to have been
completely buried 20 the House. II
Is now nearly Elk weeks since it wsg
passed by the Senate, went to the
House and referred to tho Commit.
tee on Ways and Means, which, up
70 the present time, has not even
considered it, nor are there il dioa-
lions oil any movement in that direc-
ton. 1t is quite probable that no
funding bill will be passed by the
House. This for the reason that the
Government now has the option Of
all the outstanding FIVE and six per
ceut. bonds (three and a half per
cents continued. and can pay them
oil rapidly. 1t is deemed better. and
even more economical, to retain this
option than to refund them into q
lower bond.

KINGwooD, w. Va. March 7.-Alloe
me a little space il your excellent paper
Tor a brief sketch Of my visit to King
wood, w. Va. Hollywood is one OF the
most beautiful little towns l have ever
seen. 1t is the county seat of Preston
county and contains about 500 inhabitants.
There are two papers published in it
THE WK5r VIRGINIA ARGUS aud Preston
County Journal. 1 found the editor Of
THE ARGUS, Mr.. Purcell, TO be very much
of a gentleman. Ibid o have the pleasure
of meeting the editor OF the Journal, Mr.
DawsoD, as he is now in the State Senate.
] had the pleasure, however, of reading a
very able speech which he made a few
days ago in the Senate, on the subject of
"Rsilroad Monopoly"
The citiz,ns Of Kingwood and Tunnel
ton are much excited over the prospects
Of q new railroad between the two places.

there is an abundance Of coal and timber
which cannot find a market without.

give an account Of the way that King
wood became the county seat.
We are told that many years ago, wher
the Commissioner were ~sesrching for &
place for the County Seat, they thought
they would locate three miles north oil
Kiogwood, but a little accident happened
that kept IL from being located there. Tn,
Commissioners staid all night with an old

bd~of argus;
Your correspondent ran down to
the State Capital to look ia upon the
legislature and the State officials.
The Legislature was busily en-
gagged in the consideration Of the
Congressional Apportionment Bill,
and other matters. The bill which
was reported by the Committee was
adopted by the Democratic caucus
except that Randolph County. on
motion Of Col. G. J. P. C~EEsAp, was
taken out OF the Third District and
placed in tho Second. This proposj-
ton wac warmly supported by Col.
OREsAP, and through bis influence
was adopted. For his efforts in this
behalf he deserves the thanks Of the
Democrats Of this, and other counties
in this district. We could in afford
10 lose Randolph with her pure and
reliable Democracy. The PROPOSE
tion was supported By most Of the
Democratic members from this dis
trict; Mr.. MoRRow, Of Fairmonf, how.
ever, opposed IT,.
The only change in the district il
that we lose the counties Of Upshur.
Pochahontas and w ebster, and the
State under The spporuonment bill
gets four Democratic Congressman.
In the Senate, the DAWSON Rail
road Bill engaged the attention Of
the Senators. The main purpose Of
the bill is TO provide for the appoint.
ment Of three Commissioner. whose
duty it shall be TO regulate the
charges by the Railroad Companies
Of he State, for freight and passep
gers; The Commissioners to
receive eighteen hundred dollars Der
year, v half TO be paid by the rail-
roads and the other half by the State
and to ride free over all the roads Of
the St1te, and to have power to *.
anime persons and papers. I heard
speeches on the bill by Senators
DAWSON aod McGREoER for the bill

IN this and last weeks Issue OF
EHE ARGUS we have devoted CON
siderable space TO the discussion OF
the tariff question, in which we have
purposely given both aides a hearing.
Although this has been a prominent
and leading question 20 American
politics for more thau half century.
there is, perhaps, nona tina. is less
understood by the people generally
than this.
One reason for this is, that the
tariff question il usually raised and
discussed by psrtisans during the
heat and strife Of political campaigns,
when the widest statements pasa
current for fact, and when error,
ia'seAood and truth get strangely
lunbled. Thus the public mlhd has
become confused and unsettled upon
this question. more than aLy other.
We believe that the true course
TOR the country to take upon this
question, is a middle cue between
the extremes Of free trade on the one
hand, and aprohib.tory or protec-
tive tariff on the other. This will
bring us to a tariff tor revenue, hich
is the only just and equitable object
for which a tariff may be laid. II the
object is to protect something or
somebody, the result is to rob one
class to enrich another; but if the
tariff is designed for revenue, the
burthen falls upon all alike and in
proportion to their use or consump-
tion Of the article upon which the
tariff is LAID.

1t is evident that the suggestion
that Ssagsant MASON was lot riobt
In his mind had no weight with the
courts that the distinction drawn in
regard to his not being a member o.

and that the character and offence O

WHAT was known as the DAWSON
Railroad Commission bill was de-
ieated IN Tie Senate Of the West Viz
ginia Legislature last Monday.
There is now no hope of relief
through the action Of this Legisla-
ture from the unjust and oppressive
DETERMINATIONS Of the Baltimore and
Ohio and other railroad corporations
against local or way freight and
travel.
The authority OF the Legislature
to redress the abuses by which this
and other sections OF the State have
become impoverished ia go full. clear
and explicit, that the fact that these
abuses exist unchecked to-day. con-
Victs this and every other Leeisla-
ture that have ever assembled under
the present couetitution, of deliber-
ate and criminal betrayal OF their
trust. The DAWSON bill was doubt
less obj ectionabIe. Besides being up.
necessarily lengthy and complicated
its constitutionality was clearly
questionable to say the least. What
we need and all we need, and what
this Legislature should have given
us, is a plain, simple law restraining
railroads from charging more ior
freight or Passengers for q shorter
than Tor a longer distance. The sec
ton oil the WILSON bill which wa,
lett alter running the gauntlet in the
House, if adopted by the Senate.
would haye covered the whoIs
ground. But the disposition to find
a remedy for the wrongs inAicfe ed
upon the people by railroad corpora
tlona was simply wanting, and that

III is stated that there are over
thirty counties OF Mississippi, Al
ksnsas and Louisiana submerged by
the Red, the White and the Missis-
sippi Rivers, throwing fifty thousand
people on the bounty of tho Govern
ment and infictiug incalculable loss
OF stock, farming Implements and
material upon those who are not
brought TO absolute need. Tie food
ed counties happen to be some Of the
best cotton growing counties of the
South, and produce no inconsidera-
bic percentage Of the total CROP.
The cotton crop ia ordinarily expect
ed to begin maturing by the end Of
July. There are therefore but a lit
tie over four months lett in which To
prepare the flooded plantations, put

hoped that ajudicious system efIiver
Improvement will be entered upon
which will prevent or restrict tbs

Mr.. CoNKLINe's declinstion Of the
position of Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, says the Stalwart
st. Louis Globe Democrat, will cre-
ate, in many minds, the impression
that the President has triAsd with
the public business in the matter.
Mr.. CoNKLING, while in our lude-
ment well fitted TOR the position, was
not so prominently the man for the
place that he should have been Sc
Iected without his own knowledge or
consent. II, as nov seems prabable
the object of the appointment was
SIMPLY to grstify an empty ambition
on the Part of Mr.. C~oEKLING, it was
a mistake to use a high public trust
Tor 9ny such purpose. We believe
the President himself will feel by
this time that he would have done
more wisely had be ascertained Mr.
CoNKL1NG's views before acting in the
premises.
