WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 2O.-It il
! now more apparent than ever that the re
suit of the State will be a dual govern
ment for brief space, a. least, after
March 4, and that the Federal Admins
tration will have to be called upon to
settle the difficulty. The situation ia a
grave one and results from one of the
most base and unscrupulous schemes to
defeas the will of the people that has ever
been Matched in any State Of the Union.
1t is briefly this;
No sooner had the Democrats been de-
feated in the courts In their efforts to
prevent the delivery of the returns of
kanawha County to the Legislature,
with which Gotf has majority of the
votes cast for Governor In the State, than
the revolutionists began to search the
constitution for technical pretexts for
withholding declaration of the result
when the vote ehould come to be opened
In the presence of the two houses In Joint
assembly.
The Constitution requires the Speaker
OF the House, in the presence of the two
Houses sitting in joint assembly to open
and publish the vote, after which the
person having the highest vote is to be
declared elected governor. The scheme
now hstching at Charleston is TO refuse
10 declare the result on the pretext OF
Fleming's contest and thus make 1t pos.
siole for Governor Wilson to hold over
after March 4 next and keep the seat
warm for Fleming until after he should
have been declared, as soon as may be, by
partisan majority entitled to the place.
General Gofl does not intend that the
failure to declare the result at Charl ston
shall cheat him out OF the governorship
aud put Fleming In. The forinality which
the revolutionists propose to Withhold
does not invalidate the resnlt at the polls
The formality of declaring the result
which the returns declare, which the
Speaker must open and read, does not
Affect In the slightest the right of the
person found to have the highest vote
from qualifying for his position. That
General Gof will 60 before proper
officer and take the oath of office as
g"vernor-elect Of this State will certainly
occur II he is alive
If he is denied entry into the State /
House, and iorcibly resisted, he will call !
frst upon the civilian aid of the State,
and next, as commander-in-chief OF the
militia, he Will call on the military. If
iovernor Wilson resists to this point and /
llso calls out the military to aid him the
Government Of the Cnited States will be
appealed to aud there is no
doub. that it will promptly
'espond.

New York. Jan. 20.-The Atlanta
sailed from Cob Dock, Brooklyn Navy
Yard, about $50 o'clock this morning.
A small crowd were present to give her a
hearty God-speed. As she passed out of
the basin the band aboard of the Yer
mont played and the officers aboard the
Atlanta acknowledged the attention by
lifting their caps.
Cob Dock was the scene of the Galena's
inglorious stick In the mud, but profiting
by Admiral Luce's experience the COM
mander of the Atlanta got away without
mishap. The Atlanta had just come from
the dry dock and had not had her powder
anoard more than twenty-iour hours.
Her officers aud crew were in no fear of
"warllke" Haytians, but felt little ner.
yous about yellow fever.
The Atiauta's destination is Port-au-
Prince, but 1t is understood she will stop
at Kin .ston, Jamaica, to take orders
