The New Finance Bill Resumption of Silver and Gold Coins
The article discusses Congress passing a new Finance Bill authorizing immediate resumption of silver coin and gold coin from January 1, 1879, with free banking under national laws. It argues prices will fall as money tightens, banks redeem notes in greenbacks, and the economy stabilizes after resumption, urging producers to renew energy and warning about a Democratic critic and local political cautions. It also notes legislative activity in West Virginia, church notices, and local society updates.

West Virginia Senate Ballot Stalemate Delays Capital Move
The January 26 session in Charleston saw Democrats scattering votes to block a candidate, with 17 ballots failing to produce a choice and Brannon as the strongest compromise. Camden and Walker led, but no resolution arrived, amid talk of capitol relocation to Wheeling and shifting governorship arrangements if the Legislature remains deadlocked.
