D..isi Como NOT 10 Juagmen.."

We have in our possession q copy OF a
priyate letter written by Judge VINO
presides over the courts in one of the Jul
dicial Circuits of West Virginia when
sets forth some rather astonishing legai
opinions. We do not mean to publish
the letter nor to reveal the name OF Ito
antbor. but we think the public should
he informed of the new rule of legal prac-
tire which this modern DANIEL" sets up.
In rejecting the application of an attor-
new who desired to practice in his Court,
the Judge says
Common fame is prima tacie ground
for putting a person on trlai iol an VI
fence IT'S the duty Of a magistrate 20 ar =:
rest ON such eridence and the onas pfooa"a'
os TO Innocence is on the accused
Shades of BLACKSTONE, what law
We thought the opinion Of the Attorney
General which was published few days
ago beat everything in the legalline that
ve had ever seen, but this beats that.
sbould VIC be deprived of the valuable
services of our Attorney General by
hi. election to preside over the Tenth
Judicial Circuit. we unanimously nomi-
nate Judge - for the then vacant po-
sition. We know ofno one npon whom
the mantle of the present incumbent
conld more worthily fall 1t has been
heretofore considered fundamental
principle of law and the we'll settled
practice of the courts that presumption
of innocence rested with the accused,
and that the burden of proof was upon
his accusers. So strong has this presump
ton been that juries have been uniform
IL instructed to acquit the accused per-
sou when even "a reasonable doubt" OF
his guilt had found Judgment in their
minds. 1t has not heretofore been incum-
bent upon him who was.arraigned for tri-
al to prove his innocence but it was the du-
ty of the prosecutor to prove his guilt. 1t
has devolved upon jurist within the
limits of our youthful State to reverse
this efete practice and show to the
world that we are no longer to be guided
by the maxims of the legal "old fogies'
Of past generations, but that, here at
least, "all things have become new"
MARSHALL must henceforth hide his di.
minished head, and STORY and KENT
will doubtless rest unquiet in their
graves, but new light has arisen among
the mountains of West Virginia and the
legal lore of our ancestors is doomed to
eternal eclipse.

The Radical Programme.

The Radical war upon the reconstruc-
ton policy of the Presidents growing
more and more bitter as each dag reveals
more clearly the wisdom and success of
that policy. The Massachusetts, destruc-
tives, with Senator SUMNER at their
head, are growing more and more elm =
phatic in their denunciatiOn OF ANDREW
JOHNSON, and more persistent i'll their
demand that the southern whites shall
be disfranchised and become the slaves
of enf,anchised blacks In his speech
before the Republican convention in
Massachusetts recently, MIR SUMNER
said:
"As those who have fought against us
should be DISTINGUISHED, so those who
fought for us should be enfranchised,
and thus renovated state will be built
secure on an unfaltering and natural
loyalty. Fol awhile THE FREEDMAN WILL
TAKE THE PLACE OF THE MASTER, thus
verifying the saying that the last shall
be first. and the first shall be last =
Congress must continue its jur-
isdiction; whether, through the war poe
efs, or the duty to guarantee republi-
can form of government, OF the neces-
sity of the case, as in territories, is a mat
ter of little Importance"
How long will it be before our West
Virginia radicals openly endorse the SEN
timents uttered abovel There are many
of them who entertain the same ideas
secretly but they lack the candor to
openly declare their belief The Repub-
lican party is never very far behind

on the most reliable authority, that the
reports circulated by the Eastern press
relative to the speedy trial of Jefferson
Davis, and Chief Justice Chase's connec-
