WANT THE CAPITAL MOVED.
Mr.. Peters. Of Campbell, caused good
deal of merriment by the introduction Of q
resolution to remove the capital from
Richmond to Lynchburg. 1t IS quite a
lengthy paper and recites the fact that
member Of the House from the city of
Richmond has expressed q desire for
the Capitol building TO be removed
from the city's limits; that Lynchburg
is willing TO donate n site and TO bear
the expense of erecting suitable build
iugs for the State government and TO
relieve the State of any financial difficulties
that may be incurred by said removal. IL
provides that the seat of the government
be changed TO Lynchburg before the meet,
ingo the General Assembly of lS9l-92; and
that joint committee on the part OF the
Legislature be appointed TO select site
for the Capitol building. Governors Man
sion. State peuitentiary, etc, after VIII ch
said committee shall advertise for
bids and let the contracts to the
lowest bidder. The said committee
are authorized TO sell the Capitol Square
ard the buildings thereon. as well
as the penitentiary buildings; that the
proceeds of such sale be appropriated TO
pay any Just claim against ne state Tor the the
removal of tho Capitol buildings, and the
remainder bo applied to the payment of
the State debt.
Mr.. Peters moved TO suspend the rules
and place the resolution on the calendar.
Mr.. Gibson moved to amend by substitut-
ing Fredericksburg for Lynchburg.
Mr.. Letcher moved to further amend by
inserting Lexington.
These amendments were not put to a
vote. Amid great laughter the resolution
was advanced TO the calendar.
The whole affair is intended as q joke
upon O Richmond member.

PAY OF TEACHERS.
/ The bill to pay teachers in public schools
without requiring an average attendance OF
pupils was considered again yesterday on
its passage. ,,,
Mr.. Saunders. in opposition 10 the bill,
claimed that the proposed law aimed a
dangerous stroke at the efficiency OF the
pubIic.school system of the State that it
would cause multiplication of schools IN
the State without an increase in the money
with which to build them and to pay teach
ers; that this would result IN diminishing
the pay of all the teachers by causing a
fixed fund to be divided among larger
number of benefciaries. DIR. Saunders
said that this result was to be deplored
