Uo bos introduced bill providing for

@ u, ,b. accommodation Of the Court, the
po,,o,ir, and the office OF the Deputy
roIIoior oi Internal Revenue. The
I;IiwilI without doubt get through the
S.nsh. before the adjournment OF the
n,rs'ut session, but there is much ap'
preLcnsion that il will not be able to
possthr House. There are nearly sew
dnty senate bills providing for the erec-
,io4 Of mbIir buildings in various parts
Sithe country, which are now lying on
,bs Sncakcr's table in the House un-
sr,aI mon. There are few Democratic
membes who are anxious to prevent
the consideration of these bills until
after tLr election so us not to embarrass
,be President, who manifests u DISPOSE
ion tot Ia veto nearly every bill for apub-
lie building which Congress sends to
him. Still, it is believed that kenna
snJ Faulkner have "pull" enough with
his IIighnesS sufficiently to prevail on
him to approve any bill in which they
ore Interested.
A CHRONIC ABSENTEE.
Congressman Hogg evidently does not
like to remain in Washington more than
\ fortnight at II time. He has been
absent during the present session about
as much us any other member OF the
House. and has missed quite as many
roll calls rs any man on the Congress-
iopal nav roll. Since the trees com
menced to bud last spring, his presence
for more than few days ut time has
been the exception. On Friday last he
asked and obtained leave for another
absence which may extend 10 the end oi
the present session. Mr.. Hogg is re-
parled here us one OF the chronic
absGntGGs.
A DARK HORSE APPEARS IN TIE ARENA.
Inantcipaton oisomething approach
ing a dead lock at the coming Democrat
ic State convention at Huntington, over
the contest for Governor some OF Phil
Snyder's friends have been talking about
the advisablity of springing his name
for the nomination before the conven-
ton. This would hardly be relished by
Senator Kcnna and his followers, rs it is
generally understood that Mr.. Snyder
lad to be sacrificed because the "perma-
nent seat" already had too many Of the
good places at the public crib. 1t is said
that Snyder has attributed his defeat for
n denomination TO the action OF Senator
Kenna's followers, il not to the Senator
directly. The argument quietly set forth
was that kanawha had too many OF the
big offices. 1t has the Governor, SeCre-
tary OfStOte, andtwO or three OtherState
offices United States senatorship,
the Congressman and the District Attor-
ney, and in orderto make
Mr.. XENSA'S REELECTION
to the Senate certain, it would be neces-
ary to replace some Of the Charleston
gentlemen with loyal aspirants from
other sections OF the State. Snyder was
was the first whose term should expire
and consequently he is the first to be
sacrificed. Phil has quite number OF
friends both in Washington and in the
State, and they have on several different
occasions suggested the feasibility Of
running him as n candidate for Cover
nor The 'slate ticket" however, is
Brooks Fleming, and tits probable that
Phil will have little II any show.
Those who are more directly interest
cd arr apprehensive that the candidacy
Of Judge Morrow will result in trouble
and BAD feeling. They are laboring hard
to get Fleming and Morrow to settle the
controversy before the convention meets
on Thursday. They want Morrow tc
withdraw.
The present postmaster ut BuCkhan
non, W. Va, has rendered his resigna
ton 10 take effect on the lat Of January
next, Already there is Il scramble fol
the place, and Congressman Snyder anC
the two Senators have been receiving
numerous letters relative TO the claims
and merits OF the different aspirants
However, Mr.. Snyder will settle the
question OF succession before he retirei
from Congress next spring, but will no
be ina hurry about It.
Senator Faulkner is much ela,ed ovel
the TACT that the first session Of the
United States District Court met anC
organized in Martinsburg on Tuesday
last The court did no business because
itwas necessary for that court to orga
nize before processes could be issued or
IT. 1t adjourned until next December
when an extra term will be held in tina
town.
Politics VS.. OFFICIAL DUTIES.
1t is said that every officer of tn
Court was present except District Attor
ney Watts, who is, it is presumed, to,
bnsiIy engaged in political matters +
give much attention to official matters
Congressman Wilson spent sewers
days at his home in Charleston durin
The past week, he says, for the purpos
OF catching up with his correspondence
lie says that he disposed OF large accu
mutation, but upon his return found
larger amount OF mail in his box at tn
House postotlice than he took ava
with him.
Congressman Hogg pretends to be Ell
trely satisfied with the result Of tn
Parkersbnrg Convention, which nom
mated Judge Monroe jackson to succee
him in the House Of Representative
When he returned to Washington, NJ
hogg said that there are three gre
men in West Virginia. He stated tn
Mr.. kenna was the greatest man in Il
state, Billy Wilson next, and "Mur
Jackson the next,
