A communication in the Clarksburg
Intelligencer, speaks of the accumuia-
fion of business in the United States
Courts for the Western Districts OF Fir-
ginia, owing to the indisposition of Judge
PENDLEToN, which prevented him from
going through much labour at the term
previous to his resignation. The ap.
pointment of Judge Smith to succeed
him, is said to be entirely satisfactory,
but there are doubts of his acceptance.
Should he decline the appoin tment,
much inconvenience will be the conse-
quence, as there are reported to be "a
bout forty cases, some of much moment
to the government, and many of great
interest to individuals, besides 5 or 90
cases 10 the other courts, some OF much
interest to individuals" which will be
necessarily suspended.
JAMES CLARK, formerly a member
of congress, late one of the judges of the
old court of appeals, has been elected
to the next congress in place of Mr. Hem
ny Clay. To satisfy an inquiry that will
naturally be made, itmay be well TO add,
that Judge Cak is most decided per-
sonal and political friend of his prede-
cessor. Judge Clark's majority was
975 votes.
