MoRGANTOWN, SEPTEMBER 6.
, COUNTY COURT.

Through the multiplicity of other
engagements, we omitted last week to
notice the organization Of tho new
County Court. The Court, composing
% members, and all being present,
convened on Monday, 25th ult., and
proceeded to elect Presiding Justice.
The following gentlemen were announ-
ccd by the Clerk as candidates for the
important trust: Jno. B. Tough, Jesse
Mercer, and VIM. w. Lazell, Esqs.
John B. Tough, Esq, was elected
on the first ballot by the following vote;
Tough, 10; Lazell, z; Mercer 8. e
A motion, made by LEROY Kramer,
Esq, and seconded by F. MADEIRA,
ESD, that the Court be composed Of
three Magistrates, including the Pre-
siding Justice, was carried and made
an order of Court by considerable
majority. BY the adoption of this
measure saving of taoo hundred dol
lars per annan., and in the aggregate
eight hundred dollars, is insured to the
county--a considerable item in these
high tax times.
The classification of the Court was
then gone into. A committee Of seven
composed Of one member from each
District was appointed, who reported
at the afternoon session, which report
was adopted by the Court.
The consideration of a report made
by the Commissioners appointed at the
Vast May term, for the purchase of a
suitable farm for the use and protec-
ton Of the poor of the county, resulted
in tho rejection of the report. Many
of our citizens, considering this mea-
sure of great Importance to the county,
and if adopted that it would be great
reform in our provisions for the poor,
and hence much regret the negative
action of the Court on the proposition.

=. VIZ. GALHARER,

we had the very great pleasure, on
Monday last, at Fairmont, of making
the acquaintance of Mr.. j. W.. GALA
HER, of Marshall, the Fillmore Elector
for the 18th Congressional District
Mr.. Gallaher is a gentleman in all the
meaning of the term; pleasant and
1orclble speaker, possesses fine talents,
and is thoroughly posted in the politics
OF the day. His speeches cannot fail
to effect good and aid forward our glo-
rous cause, wherever truth has admir-
ors and patriotism predominatcs over
party. He has already performed a
Aconsidorable amount of efficient labor
since his appointment as Elector, and
VIII continue to canvass his District as
Ills business arrangements shall allow
Inn opportunity.
In the discussion at Fairmont, with
Mr. Clemens, he sustained himself and
LIS cause nobly. We regretted that
INC speakers were restricted to the en-
oarrassing limit Of one hour, III which
70 treat the issues of the day, for Mr..
Nailaher could have made another hour
yet more telling than the first, as he
Could have amplifed facts and argu-
Nonts he was compelled merely to cite
m passing; but as it was Court day and
tne Court stood adjourned for a speci-
Iea time, which was al right, more
'"e could not be appropriated to the
SPeeches without too much sacrifice to
ne public business.
Mr. Gallaher is Merchant, and not
Lawyer, as we have heretofore stated
pOaer misapprchension. His talents
10 oratory, however, would pass him
scott free" as an eminent attorney,
u0hg o discriminating people hence
- error as to his avocation.
'',' W. Will most likely address the
'oPie Of Monongalia at some time be-
"sen this and November, when our
s1pie will have an opportunity to see
!" near him for themselves. We
'uot not they WILDE well pleased with
gentleman, and satisfied with his
. ~ advocacy Of our cause, as were
people Of Marion on Monday.

Another Indian War.

The Santa Fe correspondents Of the
ST. Louis Republican writes as follows
to that paper:
The Navajos who iphabt large
tract Of county about $50 miles west
ward OF Santa Fe, arc now in state Of
open war, and having stolen thousands
of cattle and sheep from the inhabitants
and killed those who defended their
property, refused to give up the. muir
dereis, and only few Of the sheep
WHAT'S TO be done The Governor
being also Superintendent of Indian af-
fairs, sends word to them that their con
duct grieves their Great Father at
Washington. The Aborigines declare
that they are sorry that they have hurt
their Great Fathers feelings, and go on
in the same old way. They would
laugh in their sleeves if they wore coats
but they show their repugnance by
stealing more sheep. 1t is foolish to
make Treaties with such peopls--they
must he made to feel that the govern
ment is strong enough to punish them.
In the infancy of our republic our faith
ers refused to pay tribute to The barba-
rio powers Of the east, now that we are
strong let us show the same spirit to
the barbarians Of The west. These
NsvajoO, of whom have spoken above
can bring into the field some 1000
warriors, but the 900 men which Gen.
Garland proposes to head against them
composed of officers and men who ac-
CURED distinction in old Mexico, and in
numerous Indian fights in tho territory
will thoroughly wipe them out.
