The prodigality OF Republican rulein this
State is set forth in the following telegram
from Charleston to the Wheeling Register
GA breezy discussion took place to-day Fri
day. in the House of Delegates on the res
olution offered by Mr.. Toler, authorizing the
Speaker 10 appoint an assistant doorkeeper.
Nearly every day since the session began
there have been additional clerks, assistant
clerks and assistant cloakroom keepers, SER
geant alarms, pages and other attaches ap-
pointed, so that the force of clerks, pages,
etc, now numbers almost double what they
have numbered in former sessions of the
Legislature. Mr. Brady Republican,, of
Ohio county, called the attention of the
House to the fact that this Legislature had
already cost the State more than 81 900 in
excess of any former session for the same
length of time, but 81 900 does not fully in
dictate the amount of excess in expenditures,
for salaries of clerks, etc. 1t is estimated
that at the present rate of expenditure Of
this Legislature, that this session will cost
the State at least $4,000 more than any
session of forty-fve days, by reason of the
additional officers placed on the pay roll. ="
To our suggestion last week that if our

the occasion made things lively and
thought the honest Denis who have fused
so much about 'Steve's barrel and who
have always howled-'turn the rascas out"

to purchasing votes we made no admission
didn't have vote buying in mind. Cam
paigns are made lively in many ways But

have knowledge on the subject, will he in
