ONO is populous and rich State, and
her Legislature is in session. Not one Of
these conditions apply 10 West Virginin,
which is forced 10 rely more on help from
abroad. Under ordinary circumstances
Wheeling could do great deal for the
Stricken communities on both sides Of the
river, and would gladly do it, for humanity
knowa no State lines. Staggering under
l'er own burden, heavy enough TO carry,
Wheeling went promptly 10 the aid
Of reighboring towns, fearing that
there might be suffering worse than her
own, and she is still doing something in
th's direction. For large part Of the
l9Oded territory Wheeling is the natural
distributing point and is as naturally
ieoKed 10 ior aid. But her hands are
almost tied, and now che has little to send
oal sympathy in suffering, which does not
'eed the hungry or clo.he tho naked or
sheter the homeiess.

river wss very strong, and carried with Il
all the houses that were no. held down by
chimneys or something OF the sort. The
Ohio Valley in this vicinity is swept Of

IT may as well be spoken bluntly-!he
considerations which General Sherman re.
hearses rs his reasona for refusing the
Presidency, have strong and solemn hold
upon the people. The bullet in Lincoln's
brain, the melancholy end Of Johnson's
career, the obscasity into which Hayes q.
once dropped, and the tragic end Of Gar
ti:ll always come up in pathetic review
whenever tho Presidency is named, and
rob it Of much OF its alluring aspect.

From Our Special Correspondent.
WAanlNdToN, D. O., February 13.-It
appearp that there was some unexplained
delay ih sending tho joint resolution which
was paesed by both houses Of Congress on
Monde y to the President for his approval.
Accordingly, in the House to day, Repre-.
sentative Warner, Of Ohio, rising to a
question Of privilege, said that he under.
stood that the joint resolution passed by
the House and Senate on Monday for the
reliefoi the sufferers by the Ohio flood
was NOT sent to the Senate for the signature
OF thepreBidiug officer until lato Yesterday
AFTERNOON. He wished 10 know the cause
Of the delay. Ife therefore offered
a resolution directing the commit
tee on enrolled bills to inquire
into tie course OF the delay. The Speaker
said that he did not think that the resolu.
tom fpresented question oil privilege, as
thereiwas no allegation that any officer ol
the House had failed to perform his duty.
He wtu!d, however, submit the matter to
tho Fouss II there was no objection. Mr..
Cssghve, Of Missouri, expressed the hopo
that the committee would alao inquire
why fhe House had debated tho joint reso.
Hutio4 for an entire day when 1t could have
enpassed in ten minutes. r
Mr. Hatch, Of Missouri, objected to the
Speaaer submitting the question, and the
resolution was referred to the committee
On eAolled billy ,t .ig.THam5.

plies. lie will establiah headquarters ut

from the Secretary Of War. The plan Of
distributing supplies will be similar to that
which proved satisfactory at the time Of
the Mississippi hJod. Bouts will be char.
tered aud loaded with provisions nt availa-
Ible Points and dispatched in different d.
rectl9na. IAN army officer will be tns
with each boat to see 10 the proper d is.

terers from tina flood under the direction Of

dered 10 Pittsburgh TO oversee the purchase

other oilicera have been ordered 10 that
|point to accompany the boats which will
fcarry relief to the sufferers from that city
