The State Sonde agreed Saturday after ou to go Into executive session to act pon several appointments gent in by the overnor on Wednesday. Several vain ndeavora were made on previous days 'o ring about this ac tion, but the Senate edined. Had the body (ailed to act pon tho appointments Saturday they :ould lapse under the law, and would ave to be renewed by the Governor or etr ones made. Of couree everything concerning the xecutive session la an inviolable secret, lowever, it may bo stated without iiesiation that the appointments submitted iy Governor Jackson were those of three nembera of the Board of Regents of the tato Hospital for the Insane at Weston, jid it is just as safe to say that the Senate efuscd to confirm any of them. What objections, if any, were alleged .gainst the gentlemen whose names were ransmitted to the Senate for positions, quid not be learned, but there have long wen signs of a disposition upon the part if certain frionds of Governor-elect Wilson in and out of the Legislature to lelcr action upon all appointments by jovernor Jackson, in order that Governor Wilson may fill the vacancios upon comng into ollice. While tho Republicans ffore averse to helping them to successfully carry out the scheme, they did Jiot like to vote to confirm partisan appointments. An intimation was con/eyed to Governor Jackson that if lie would give the Republicans one representative upon the Board of Regents the Republican Senators would vote solidly for confirmrtion, but the appointments were solidly Democratic, and the Republicans, or enough of them with those Democrats who are working a scheme for Mr. Wilson's benefit, prevented tho confirmation of all tho appointments. What course Gov. Jackson will pursue under the existing circumstances nobody can be found with sufficient prescienco to attempt to predict. A .TOUIIXAJjISTIC HUMOR from UieKauawiw Valley About a Wheel* lus l'npor. ChnrUrton Timet, January 25). Ever since Mr. J. 1). Taney became the manager of tho Wheeling Kvjisler it has been quietly whispered about that the permanent seat would be chosen as the place of publication soon after fhe removal of the Capital* For sonic time the matter was a profound secret in the breasts of less than a baker's dozen of the faithful, but it was too good to keep and finally leaked out. A gentleman of this city, who knows nil about the scheme, and who was decidedly friendly to the policy adopted by Lewis Baker during the late campaign, wid, yesterday, in conversation with a Times reporter, that he had no doubt that the present manager of the JinjiMer contemplates coming to Charleston with the paper. ''Why come hero?" "The party must have an organ," was the reply, "and tho seat of government is the place to locate it. The jleguter enjoys ?... u..* U Ao .Ilillr UigUUbblUU UWtTf UUV .?

You needn't ask me why, because you know. Now I understand that there is to bo a conference of leading Democrats in Wheeling during die present session of the Legislature, for the purpose of arranging for the removal jf tho lUtiirter to this city. You see it behooves the Rtgirier now to rush things. There's Senator Camden, who has been hankering for an organ for some time, and right here is where he would like to estabish it. If he should get in before the UtgUAer mon their cake would be dough, or the reason that two Democratic organs wouldn't do well here. Besides, while tho Urguler pretends that tho factional troujlesvf last year are healed up,'there is (till a good deal of bitterness existing be;weon the two wings of the party.

Daring the put week the town ol Petersburg, Grant county, bu been alltorn up by asenntion canted by tbo revival of tin old murder ense and the arrest ol the murderer, Elijah Weese, now an old grayhaired man, aged seventy-live. The warrant was sworn out before 'Squire George S. Vanmeter by Christina Alt, charging that in October, 1881, Weese shot and killed her brother Hiram. Weese has the appearance ol a man who has hail a hard time during life, and lias now one foot in the grave and tlio other on the verge. He was an object of pity, sitting bowed down during the trial, ever)' few minutes being seised with terrific llts of coughing. "So one denies that Elijah Weesu killed Hiram Alt; but there are different statement^ as to how and why it was done. The murder was committed on the road. Some sav that Weese and Alt were drunk and got into a light; others say that Weese asked Alt off his horse and when ho got down deliberately shot him, jealous/ being the cause. Another statement is that Alt was advancing on Weeso to heat him; the latter warned uim not to advance,, b it he continued and Weeso shot. The gun used was a "home rifle" and the hall entered about the stomach, near the side and passed diagonally through the body. The young man died in a short time. Weese went on to town and was arrested. The prisoner was committed to jail at Moorellcld, (Grant had not been taken from Hardy yet) and soon afterward was removed to Woodstock, and from there to Harrisonburg, where he was released by Hie Bouuere. Auero were two eye witnesses to the tragedy?Geo. Heed, who was killed during the war, near the same El ace, and Anne Guui, whose whereabouts i now unknown. Weese was about Petersburg often during the war, but since its close has remained in Itockingham county, Va., until about two years ago, when he returned to Grant county and lias since remained there. At the hearing several testified to seeing Alt lyinp dead in the road, but no ono could positively swear as to who had killed iiim. Ono man testified that ho had met Weese on the day of the murder and had taken a gun from him. The magistrates decided to Bend tho prisoner on for the action of the grand jury, but after more mature conaderation decided that the evidence was not sufficient to justify a committal and lie was released. THE III V Kit ItOAD EXTENSION. Tlie Project Not Abiui<l?a<ul by Any Mean*, uh Stated. A gentleman connected with the Ohio River road assures an Intelligence!! reporter that there is no truth in the report recently published that that comp-ny has abandoned its project of extending its line to Point Pleasant, lie says that in the fliui ulann (knfj Itaa VlQI'dV IllUltl ft mafifttlrf mob jiiatu uicib una hvivi uwn ?? iiikbuii^ of the syndicate, and consequently the report as printed could not be true. Engineer Piekenger is now on the line of tho proposed extension, looking after the right of way, and will make his report in a few days. Tho gentlemen continued: "Tho engineers employed in the office were making estimates of the cost of the extension, etc., and "when tho work for which they were employed was completed they were discharged. There has been no reduction in our train force for some time past. We have air brakes on all our passenger trains, and. never had but one brakeman on trains of this class. We have two brakemen on all freight trains. We never had more except last summer, when an extra man was carried to handle freight, not to manage the train. Our track men have not been discharged, bnt owing to the severe weather and the ground being frozen so deep it is impossible for the men to do anything with pick andBhovel. Tho construction train was on till the 2l)th, when all tho work' for it to' do was done. The track is i n good condition, and the company has a sulllcient force to keep it so." THE OANTZ OIL WKI.L. Several ParUclcN of Gold llrouuht Up?'The Drilling, The Washington Reporter says: Drilling at the Gantz well continues, but without developing anything particularly new. It is variously estimated that the drill is in the sand from eight to fifteen feet. Many of the directors and oil men state that tho sand has been improving and that the prospects for a good well are quite flattering. Others say the sand' is not so good. Mr. Marr, the driller, thinks the well will produco from fifty to seventy-five barrels per day. The oil in tho hole is called the Smith's Ferry oil, which is of oxcollent quality, but frequently not found in paying quantities. On Thursday some of tho oil appeared heavier and resembled more closely tho Bradford oil, which was considered by the oil men a good sign. Tho next morning none of this new find was procured. While no definito action has been taken I by tho directors in the matter, it appears to be tho intention to continue boring until through the rock, when the well will j be torpedoed unless gas enough is found to malce the oil ilow. A director is responsible for the statement that tho sand pump on Thursday brought im several particles of what when tested by nitric acid proved to be pureggold. Christening Yeatcrdny. A pleasant and memorable little event took place yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the residence of Mr. Martin Thornton, proprietor of the Capital restaurant His new boy was christened, Bishop Kain ant} Monsignor Sullivan officiating in the attendant religious ceremonies. Rev. Jfathpr McElligolt stood as godfather and Mrs. JJrown as go.l-niotner. The child was named John Joseph, for Mr. Thornton's father, and by a happy ooJ?ii,i? i0 ?i,? ?n.?A of the Bishop. Many of tho family's friends wore present, unit after the ceremony they were pleasantly ontfrtalned by the hospllablo host and nostess. 'The Longer H'hj Hound." A team of mules belonging to John Porter, the JJew Cumberland brick manufacturer, happened to be engaged on tho Ohio sldo of the river during the early portion of last week. When it camp time for them to be ^turned to this Hide, the river had become to full of heavy ico that the forries could not run. It was necessary that tiio mules should be sent home, and as there yftf no propped of the river being clear of ice for several days, the animals were bronsht to Bridgeport and reached the West .Virginia side by way of the bridge* at this point. 'J'he Toronto Tribune is responsible for this story- It is too cold for snakes. "Collars aud CufT*."

Dr. Cunningham ill at the First Presbyterian Church Yes. tl terday Morning-Some of the Deplor* bi able Currents of Life Nowaday*. cl 81 Yesterday morning at the Flint Prosby- Jj terian church the pastor, Rev. Dr. D. A. j,' Cunningham, preached a timely ami in- p teresting sermon, taking for hU text the ?' first verse of the second chapter of He- jj brows: c, "Therefara^we onght to give Hie more v earnest heed to the things which we have j( heard, lest haply we drift away from ' them." Paul was cautioning the Hebrews of ' something ho feared might happen before J they were awaro of it. He was not so t, much afraid of their rejecting the great * salvation as of their neglecting it His tj words have reference not to a direct and deliberate antagonism to the truth, but an ~ involuntary drifting away from it through . forces the operation of wliich is so insid- * ious and stealthy tlmt they would not notice their existence unless they were to -give "earnest heed." y "Drifted"?that is the precise word, j The boat is unanchored; it is at the mo- ( ment in a ouiet bay, but bv and by the ? tido ebbs and bears it 011 its bosom to the r middle of the current, and it is carried out j. and away, and ii no one has observed its Jj motions, lost. j* The influences against wnicti tno text ~ warns are those of currents which are J flowing just where we are, and which may . operate so insidiously that we may not know of their effect until perhaps it is too late to resist their power. There are many J such currents running to-day. g AN IRUELlGIOtTS CUKItK.VT. g E^ery epoch has its own special tendency. Just as there are times when cer- b tain forms of disease are epidemic, so a thero are perioils when an intelligent ob- o server can discover certain very distinct t trends of thought among men. In the days preceding the French revolution infidelity of the typo of Voltaire was in the ascendant, and its tide swept over many g lauds. In the nineteenth century wo find ft ourselves called upon to contend not fi so much for the inspiration of the tl Scriptures, or for tho reality of miracles, s or for the divine origin of the Gospel, but t for the very existence of God himself. J Thero is a growing materialism which has prepared the way for an agnostic philosophy which refusps to believe that any- y thing can be known save that which can p bo perceived by the senses, aided by the C scalpel and the microscope, and this in its h turn has given birth to a rank atheism p which has adopted as its creed the terribto g negation No God! You frequently meet v with this current in our literature,in some I prominent reviews, some scientific journals and some secular papers. But I do not desire to magnify the evil, e My own opinion is that the pendulum has p its full swing in the materialistic direction, a and that a reaction will speedily take 8 place, if it has not already begun. The question is, How have we been affected by this current? Are we sure wo have not e drifted to some extent with it? Is God G the same to us that ho was? We must not flatter ourselves that the current of the age can have no eilect upon us. Ifwi- T do, that is the sure precursor of our being ultimately carried away with it. If we ha<-e not been resisting it, wo have been ? affected by it to some extent. pj TUB CURRENT OK INTEMPERANCE. Everp city or location has its own peculiar current. Here to a certain extent a business is allowed to interfere with a tt man's spiritual duties. Business is not in- kl compatible with piety, but a man may ti become so absorbed in his business that l'< he drifts away from the things of the Lord. J! There is another mighty current against ;h which wo do well to take hood?the cur- ? rent of intemperance. Strong drink is {? tarrying its hundreds of thousands an- i> nuallytothe drunkard's grave. The ex- ^ penditure for drink annually in the United jj States is $5)00,000,000. Of the entire list ef i> expenditures for living, the liquor account J? amounts to nearly twice as much as any other item. It amounts to nearly twice as fa mucli as bread, three times as much as jf meat, and ten times as much as education. f0 It is more than the combined cost of bread <li and meat, and neatly as much as the com- g bined cost of bread, woolen and cotton- ? goods. Add to this everything that is ?>< miserable in life, everything destructive jj of all that is good in man, and some idea rj may be formed of the relation strong m drink bears to the country. * The producers and vendors of this con- ei suming fiend insist that they shall be per- g< mitted to go on seducing youth and man- JJ hood into its embraco without control, to They insist tliat they shall set lip thoir ?i shops wherever they choose, and that j|| they shall be (ree ol restraint or reguia- Ui tion. The promoters of this one great Hi curse claim the right to dictato law to the 8 lawmakers, to control legislation and to i>, govern the country. They propose to si carry elections, to make officials and to E govern sober men. t'i One of the first duties of every lover ol m his country, every friend of humanity, is w' to do whatever is possible to pulverize tlio rum-power, and to turn away the anmy Pi torrent which is carrying such multitudes to hopeless ruin. When bad men eon- 4 spire good men must combine, w TDK 11ESKTTINO SIX. ? The last ourrent which was mentioned fj was the besotting sins of Individuals, eo Each man has ?1iib individual tendencies ct which easily carry him in ono direction T or another. How easy it Is to acquire an Ft evil habit! Nobody, of mature years, at pj lpast, ever deliberately sols himself to r learn such a habit. On the contrary, overy one who has ever folt anything like !? Christum motives working within him 5' would aflirin that he neither desires nor aa designs to let himself be enslaved by an n< ovil habit. Vet how many ?uoh become drunkards before they will confess it to I'i themselves I How many bocome gaui- Jr biers before they know they arc in danger J" from the fascination of the cruel siren! p.. How many are ensnared and held by the 1# cords of their own lusts, humiliated at their own helplessness, and yet hardly 1 able to explain to themselves liotv they came to such degradation! Distrust yourself, and trint only and eu always in the Lord. Watch the little 35 things. and let no lust or appetite or pas- to; aiou obtain dominion ovnr yon.
