CHARLESTON, W. Va, January &c.
Peace spread her white wings over
the House of Delegates to-day, and
all was serene as a May morning. The
occasion was a resolution offered by
Brannon yesterday TO allow all the
Democrats in the House to have seats
close together, SO that they could find
one another without the necessity of
getting out a search warrant, and
when it came up for consideration to-
day Martin and other Republicans
spoke in favor of the resolution, and
Anderson took occasion to say that he
did not take it the members who stated
yesterday that the majority would vote
down anything proposed by a member
of the minority reflected the sentiment
of the Republican side of the House.
The most nearly sensational feature
of the day was the kick made in both
houses over the failure Of the public
printer to furnish the journals and
bills on time. A joint resolution was
adopted in the Senate and sent to the
House, and adopted by that body, pro-
viding for the appointment of a COM
mittee to confer with the printing
board, and let it be known that ar
rangements must be made to have the
printing for the two houses done
promptly. The printing board is to
make report on Monday, why the mat
ter has not been properly attended to.
Both houses have found it necessary
to adjourn more than once because of
the fact that bills otherwise ready for
consideration had not been printed,
and the members have become tired
of it.
The sudden death of the PanAmeri-
can bill has been a good deal discuss
ed to-day, and no one seems able to
account for the tremendous majority
against it. Some say the fact that a
Democrat. Hon. Stewart ". Walker,
was president of the commission, was
one of the most popular objections to
the bill
len bills have been prepared and are
now in the hands of the members, en-
'boGying the views OF Governor-elect
White, regarding the reorganization
OF the boards Of managers of the var
ious State institutions. They were to
have been laid before the caucus last
night but that body was too much en-
gagged with the redistricting matter to
consider anything else, ana SO they
had to go over to the next meeting
They will be passed upon favorably
for White is in the saddle in good
style, and then put in the hands of the
steering committee to be put through.
The rest will Oe easy.
These bills give the incoming Cover
nor the power to appoint the boards
throughout. and to make them more
strongly partisan than they now are.
He will not only make them largely
Republican, but White Republicans
will be placed upon them.
The Governor to be be is a candi-
date for the Scott succession despite
his elephantine attempt to play the
coy maiden role, and his weak effort to
deny, and he will work all the appoint
ments in his power to that end.
The judiciary committee of the
House to-day considered the Berkeley
Springs matter and appointed Brannon
and Martin a subcommittee to draw
bin providing for the appointment
of new board to take charge of that
property. There is a strong feeling
here against making another lease OF
the property and in favor of selling it.
