WHEELING. w. Va, Feb 26.-A motion
was made in the city council Tuesday even
ing, that every possible effort should be
made to obtain a separation Of the counties
of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, and Marshall
from the state of West Virginia
and have them attached permanently to
the state Of Pennsylvania, to which
they physically and naturally belong. Had
it not been tor the active opposition Of AT
torney General elect Caldwell the motion
would have gone through. This step has
been desired by many citizens of the Pan
handle for years, on account of
their remoteness from the interior
of the state; because the burden
of taxation falls almost exclusively
upon them. the counties named paying
about one-sixth of the state taxes, and also
because Of the unconcealed disposition Of
the legislature not to do anything that will
in any wise inure to the advantage of their
districts, and especially To the city Of
Wheeling Mach feeling in favor Of the
project to annex tn Pennsylvania is evinced,
ana it is not Il remote possibility.
