What We Need.

We need to elect for the coming
year a good Mayor, one who has ca
pacity and frmneSs, one who is pro-
gressive and can fall into the new
order of things that is about 10 open
up to US in the way of development
and improvement, who can invite
prosperity and people, and control
them after they come. We need to
elect Town Council, who will spend
the towns money for the towns good;
yet do it in business manner and
not recklessly or wastefully, who will
not go out Of Office at the end of the
year, feeling well pleased if they have
done nothing absolutely wrong, but
one who will not feel satisfied unless
they have done something that has

Editorial Correspondence.
WuEELtNc, March 13. 1SS2

Dear Register: For several days past
we have been busy reading bills on
their third reading and passing
them. 1t is expected that the Code
will be fully enacted ere we adjourn.
A committee of nine was appointed
on Saturday to pick ont and assert
all bills now before the House and
report on Tuesday morning in favor
of those that ought to be passed, and
none others. By this means it is
expected to table and pigeon-hole all
local bills, and get in all our work on
the Code. If this policy had been
pursued in the start, this session
would now be over and we would all
be at our homes. This committee
will also report the day of adjourn
ment. If the time is prolonged to
the 18th, as is supposed will be the
case, we will try and run down home
for day or two, for we are getting
terribly homesick as well us tired Of
this place.
To day the report of the committee
to investigate the Insane Asylum
has been made the special order for
eleven o'clock. Some of the charges
and specifications made out by the
committee are very damaging espec.
tally against DR.. Hullihen, The first
assistant Of the institution, but
whether the charges will be sustain.
ed by the evidence, we cannot say,
as it is in the hands of the printer,
and We have not yet read it. The
general impression is, however, that
DR.. Hullihen will be removed, and
it may be, one or two others. send
you a copy of the charges and speci'
fcations.
The other evening the apportion,
ment of the State for Congressional
purposes was made the order of the
day. The House went into Commit.
tee of the Whole to consider the re.
port of the committee, and after much
discussion q substitute was offered
for the majority report and adopted.
This substitute made the First dis.
trict q very doubtful one, if not a
Republican district. The next day
it was evident that something had to
be done 10 counteract the action Of
the House of the evening before, and
hence q paper was circulated among
the Democrats Of both Houses calling
for a aucusof the Democrats for this
evening, which was generally signed,
and generally attended. AT the eau.
Gus the majority plan was adopted,
which makes four safe Democratic
districts. They are as follows:
FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall
Wetzel, Tyler, Doddridge, Harrison,
Gllmer, Lewis, Braxton.
SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Monongalia, Marion, Preston, Tay-
lor, Barbour, Tucker, Pendleton,
Hardy, Mineral, Hampshire, Grant,
dolph.
THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Logan, Wyoming, Mcdowell, Mer.
Ger, Raleigh, Boone, Kanawha, Fay.
cite, Clay, Nicholas, Greenbrier, Mon.
roe, Summers, Webster, Pocahontas,
Upshur.
FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Peasants, Wood, Richie, Writ,
Calhoun, Jackson, Roane, Mason
Putnam, Cabell, Lincoln, Wayne.
The Senate has knocked the State
Apportionment Bill in the head, and
it is doubtful now, if either the SEN
atorial or Legislative districts will
be changed or the representation in
the House increased.
This letter is now cutie long
enough and will draw it to a close.

Such is the desire to encourage

OUR RIVER RAILROAD.
A Brief Interview with Senator
Camden.

What are the prospects, Senator
Camden, for building the w., P. &
C. r. R.?
| think the prospects are very good
if the company can procure the
right of way. 1t has taken much
longer time 10 complete the surveys
and settle the questions in regard to
the right Of way, than was anticipa.
ted. This has been q serious disad-
vantage in delaying arrangements to
get money to build the road at the
most favorable times for that purpose,
as no binding negotiations could be
made in regard to money until the
company was in condition to furnish
the franchise. The general financial
outlook in the country is less favora.
BILE now than it was six months ago,
but havo entire confidence that q
railroad having the merit in it that
the W., P. & G. road has is certain to
be built, even should adverse condi-
tions Of the money market cause
temporary delays. What we want
to do is to
COMPLETE OUR SURVEY
and get the right of way in shape so
that we may be in shape to make re.
liable arrangements. There are good
men backing this road, and as an ev.
idence of goOd faith, they have fur
nished nearly $4,000 of the money
required to complete careful sur
vey and to pay the expenses of the
company in obtaining right of way,
or to ascertain whether n free right
of way Gun be had or not. 1 regard
this not only as one of the most use.
