Mr., Editor In looking lately through
the Journals of the General Assembly of
of Virginia of 1867, l came across sew
eral items which may be of interest to
some of your readers.
November 18th, 1886 the Speaker of
the House laid before that body letter
from Morgan Morgan. High Sheriff of
Berkeley, containing an apology for not
having made, in due time, areturn of the
delegates elected to represent that county
in the General Assembly The High
Sheriff of that county, and of some other
counties, had previously been reprimand-
fer not making said returns,
It was evidently difficult to obtain and
keep a quorum. More than one entry is
found where the Sergeant at arms is di-
rected TO arrest and bring into the House
certain persons, F" Members of this body,
known to be IN town but failing to appear
in their places. ("
The names of Robert Rutherford and
Thomas Rutherford appear frequently in
the proceedings in such way as to show
that the former was an active member of
the Senate and the latter of the House cf
Delegates.
November 23, 1856. petition was pre-
sented in the House from sundry inhabi-
tants of Berkeley, praying the establish
ment of an inspection of tobacco at Shep-
herdstown, in that county. What a
change! Such an Office would be rather a
sinecure in that town at present. This is
the same day, be it observed. that Charles
Washington's petition was offered for the
laying out of our town.
December 4, 1856, the day when the bill
for laying out our town was read the third
time in the House, the announcement
was made that, in Joint Convention of

Charles Town. March 1s 81.


Mr.. Editor:-We have in our State a
Charleston as well as our Charles Town,
and this fact produces much annoyance
because letters are every day given to one
which are intended tor the other.
Why may not the name of one or the
other be changed? At once the question
arises, which shall give up its present
name? It would naturally be supposed
that the town which has had its name
longest should retain it In previous let
ters evidence has been given to show
that our town was Incorporated early in
1857. The establishment of Charleston,
in Kanawha county, took place Decem-
Der 10Th, 1894, nearly eight years later.
See Virginia Statutes at Large, Vol. /,
page 3aa. Our town has therefore the
prior claim to thename Originally both
towns has the same name, Charles Town
The fact of the change in the other to
Charleston was an admission of that
claim. This claim was for years recog.
nized by the Post Office Department, in
which Charleston was known as Kanawha
Courthouse.
1t seems to me that this is an excellent
time for Charleston to change her name,
when she has become the permanent
capital of the State and city. Let her
be called Kanawha City, or simply Ka-
nawha. Additional emphasis would then
be given to this really beautiful Indian
name, which means River of the Woods.
II our delegate in the next legislature
would in friendly spirit discuss this
matter with the representatives from the
Kanawha Valley, and agree to support
bill to change the name of Charleston in
