Gkktumkno! tho Legislature: Don't let your political inanoeuvers over Shadow tho movement for tho develop ment of the State. Oil this platform all' the people stand. Onjs mail this week brought to the Board of Immigration and Development twenty-seven inquiries from persons who desire to And new homes. The good work goes on. Tub men who founded West Virginia were vigorous talkers. Tho Mate on naming the State is worth reading from beginning to end. Many of the voices heard In that ineinorablo convention aro now settled; but the spoken word lives and instructs. The null manufacturers of tho Wheel ing district ure wise to recognize that the wire nail hus u place in the market and luis attractiveness jmough to divide the Held. Wheeling can mako iron nails if that bo necessary to roUiu her supromacy, aud it seems to be necessary. Naming tho fliuto?A Little IlUtury. As pertinent to tho question of re naming tho State, tho Intbllkiknckji prints to-day in full tho debate in the convention that fixed upon the new State its present name. The ordiuanco providing for a division of Virginia was tho act of tho now his torical convention that assembled in Wheeling June 11, 1801, and held an adjourned session in August following. Like tho States General of France, thai convention was a body armed with nil the original rights and powers of the people. '1 ho Stato government of Vir ginia, by the act of accession and by acts of alliance with tho Confederate State*, had abdicated. The pcoplo of Virginia who adhered to tho United States were without government, and proceeded through this convention to got up a uew State government for Virginia by a series of measures so happily couccived in right and in law that one of the lead ing actors in it said years after the work had beeu consummated, if it were to be done then with all the light of subse quent events, perhaps no single step could luivo been more wjscly taken. That Convention, recognizing tho jus tice of the demand made by trans Allegheny Virginia for a separation from the "body of death" (as Gov. J'oirpont used to stylo Old Virginia) ordained by net of August -0,1801, that a separate State should bo set up within a prescrib ed territory if the peo'plo therein voted i that they wanted it. The language of the ordinnnco is: "Tho people of Virginia, by tholr dele gates assembled at Wheeling, do ordain that a new State, to be culled the Mute of Kanawha, to bo formed and erected out of tho territory included within tho fol lowing described boundary," Ac. At the same time delegates woro to be chosen to framo a constitution "for tho government of tho proposed Stato," to act if tho veto on tho question of sepa ration should bo (us it was) in tho afllrm ativo. That convention, under tho ordi nance, met in Wheeling November I'd, 1801. On tho 3d of December, it took Up for consideration what was to be the first article in tho constitution of tho new Stato, being the first section of the first report of tho Coinuiittco oh Genorul and Fundamental Provisions. Mr. Van Winkle was chairman, and tho report was from his own hand. It provided that? "Tim SUto ol Kanawha shall be ond remain one of thu United States ol Amorlca." Promptly a motion wan entered by Harmon Slusol, o( Taylor county, to strike out "Kanawha." Tlio debute that followed will be found pertinent and Interesting. Some of tlio appocliei nro quite crisp, and none more so than thoso made by tho tlirco dolvKntc-S fruui i Ohio county,' Mr. Lamb, Mr, 1'aiton ntui Mr. ilattcllo, all of whom omphiMl^otf tho paint that wo wish especially to con elder in this connection, Unit tho con vention bad no authority to change the naino. Mr. Slnsol's claim that the constitu tional conventlon'had unlimited power* In overy direction?"all tho powers 01 tho poople,1' as ho said?is so cloarly fal lacious that it seems straiten man 01 his good Judgment and Intelligence couln havo fallen Into such an error. True thoy hid nil the powers of tho poople whom thoy represented for tlio specific, limited purpose for which thoy wen culled together; but they did not repre sent *11 the peoplo of Virginia as did tho convention under whoso ordlnabio thoy were acting. That ordinance, whllo loarlng tho' free to make such a constitution as the} pleased III all other particulars, had lln ? Ited them as to t<vo things: First, It hrd chosen the naino for tho Htste, as wi s regular mid proper; anil second, it hid specified tho territory that might bo en ? braced In It, nnd It is good sonso, as well as good legal constructloii that what Is ?pocifled by the su|icrlor body Is ex cluded from tho discretion of tho In ferior. When a Territory of the United States li to bo bntorod Into a State, Congress, Acting for tho United States (lovero ment, passes an enabling net, prescrib ing a name for tho Ktatc, and authorising tho Territory to frnmo a constitution snd apply for admission itnilor it. In the division of Virginia the convention that authorised It by tlio ordlnsnco of August 20, stood In precisely tho relation to Clio proposed now Htato that Congrats docs to l Territory about to apply for admissions It bad unlimited control ot tlif territory concerned and tho right to prcucrlbo the new name under wlilch it uiiifkt become a State. The ordinance was to all intents and purposes an enabling act; and the con vention created by it, when it caiuo to frame au organic law "tor tbo govern ment ot tbe proposed Statu," bad no uiora authority to change thuwune pre scribed than any territorial convention would have to adopt another nauie than I the ono prescribed tor them by act of Congress, or than it would bave had to embrace uioro territory than permitted by tiie terms ot (b.e ordinance. Of course tho invalidity of tbe action taken was cured by the subsequent con sent of tho Virginia Legislature, and the confirmatory actiou by Congress and all departments of the United States, llut, all the same, it is clear that Kanawha was not ouly tbe origiual but the right ful name of this State, out of which the Btute wua wronged by what .Mr. Vun Winkle wittily described as a little too much hankering in tbo convention utter "tho llesh pots of Kgypt."

How to Kill ltuuvim. An animul is beat killed with o rido ball, shot midway of u lino drown from ouo eye to the opnosite born; but it may be'killed by u blow on tho samo spot with a sldego hammer or the bend of an ax, Unit blindfolding tbo animal. As Hoon an it falls, cut a gush square across the throat back of the jaws, deep enough to reach to the spinal column. The ani mal may be run up at ouce, or not until skinned, or it may lio until tbo entrails are removed, as may be preferred. Cut the hide from tbe throat along tbo bris ket and central line of the belly, be tween tbo thighs to tbo tall; ami from this cut along thu inside of the legs. Take nil' the lore legs at the kneo oints and the hind ones three rches below the hock joiuts. If the nniiual is on the ground, remove tbe hido from tlio upper side oi the curcess to the back bone; then turn the animal over and skiu the other side. If the animal is hung up, begin above and work do?vn. JJe careful not to cut any gashes in the hide. Use the thumbs wherever it is practicable to do bo. To remove the eutrals is not diUlcult. Open along the middle of the belly and bris ket, cutting from iu outward, running the lingers along ahead of the knife through tbo belly. The animal should have bad nothing to eat for twelve hours before it is killed. Its eutrals will not then be distended and the carcass will cool better. As soon as the eutrals are out, wash the inside thoroughly with cold water, using a cloth where neces sary to take oil' blood. Stretch the slit iu the belly open bv setting in short sticks to keep the carcass oncu und facil itate cooling, As soon as the curcass has cooled, divide it iu halves by splitting the back boue, working from the inside. First cut through tbe flesh and then saw through the boue. Do not cut bones; taw them. l'liii|il?H,boritH, Avium and 1'uliiH.
