WE direct attention to the calm and
forcible article, in another column, from the
Guernsey Times, on the Ju1geship. This
is matter that ought to receive the candid
attenti on of every voter in the District. It
is of the utmost Importance not only to the
legal profession and those having business
to transact in cnnrt, but to every taxpayer
within the District, thar the courts shall be
having legal and physical ability, that the
business of the people in the courts shall be
promptly and efficiently disposed Of. Every.
body having business in court during the
past year knows, that, under the admins
tration of Mr.. kennon, this has not been
the case, for hut little business on the civil
docket has been disposed of, and the cases,
generally, at the inconvenience and expense
of liiigants and attorneys as well as at an
increase cost to the tax payers, have been
passed untried. 1t is matter patent to
any ono who, during the past year, has seen
Mr.. kennon, that he is physically unfit to
discharge the duties Of Judge, and that
his re, election will be of ruinous conse-
guence to the legaluterests of the District.
The Spring Term of court had to be post
poned until warm and pleasant weather, in
order to allow the recuperation of the health
OF the Judge, and yet it was only with the
greatest difficulty and under the most care.
ful management that he was able to do any
business at ALL How can man with Judge
Kennon's health he expected to hold the
Fall and Spring Terms of court, in the midst
Of the wet, cold and inclemant seasons Of
the year, when he is unable to hold court
efficiently in the Summer season?
We ask the honest, thinking, tax-payine
men of the Democratic party TO consider this
matter carefully, aside from the question of
party, and to DO in the premises what they
believe and know is for the interest of the
Dstrct-elect Judge Cowen to fill the posi-
ton he is so well qualified to fill to the salts
faction and interest of all concerned

A FELLOW by the name Of Donahue made
a speech in the Court House, recently, in
the interests of the Cepper.Johnson party,
and in the course Of his harrangtie took oc.
casion to throw out some slurs on the Sol
diers' Convention, then about to assemble at
Pittsburgh. He asked, What fighting
General endorses that Convention ?" where
upon an irrepressible Union man in the au-
dence exclaimed Burnside" "Burn-
side /" exclaimed Donahue, wasn't he de-
ieated at Charlottesville ?" Il thought
Joe. Hooker fought charlottesville, said
the Unjon man. "Wel, Antietam." said
Donahue Some one near the befu1lled
speaker suggested that Mcclellan command
ed at Antietam; and among them they fl
nally asoertained that Burnside was at Fred
cricksburg.
The scene was very amusing to the Union
men present, all OF whom agreed that this
rustic had better rend little before he un-
dertakes any more speeches.

.'hoyaI', REPRESENTATIVES,.

We were told on Saturday night last, by
Mr.. Estep, that i6gat Senators and Repre-.
sentoiives from the lato Rebel States we're
shut out pt Congress. II there was one
man who applied for admission, -oxcept
from Tennessee who was not perjnred
rebel, wo should like to have Mr.. E4tep
name him. Gov. Perry was named as a
loyal man, but he was Judge in South
Carolina under the Robel State Govern.
ment, and erery mum elected from .States
whose representatives have not been admit
ted, has been engaged directly or indirectly
10 the Rebellion. In Georgia they elected
to the United States Senate Stephens, the
Vice. President of the rebellion, and John.
son, : Senator ia the rebel Congress; and
to the House of Representatives they elect
cd Cook and Wolford, who were Generals
in the rebel army. From North Carolina
they elected to the United States Senate
VIM. A. Graham, who was a Senator in
the rebel Congress, and Pool was in the
rebel Senate of North Carolina, and to the
House of Representatives elected Fuller
from the rebel Congress, and Turner, Col
onel in the rebel army. From South Caro-
lima they elected to the United States Sem
ate, Perry, who was rebel Judge. and
Manning, who was volunteer aid TO Beau
regard at the battle Of Bnll Run; and to
the House they elected Kennedy, Colonel,
McGown, General in the rebel army, and
Furrow, q member of the rebel Congress.
From Alabama they elected to the House,
Battle, General in the rebel army, and
Foster from the rebel Congress. From
Mississippi they elected to the United
States Senate, Alcomb, from the rebel
militia; and to the House they elected
Reynolds and Pison, Colones in the rebel
army, and Harrison, member of the pro.
visional rebel Congress. From Virginia
they elected to the House Stuart and Con
rad, who continued to be members of the
Secession Convention of Virginia after it
passed the ordinance of secession. These
we're some Of the most conspicuous traitors
who we're sent to tho American Congress,
and who demanded their immediate and
unconditional admission. Most of the 9th.
ers elected were equally intense, though
less conspicuous, rebels.
1t is for these unwashed rebels that Mr..
Estep and the Democratic Party are de-
manding immediate and unconditional
admission into Congress. Are the People
ready to surrender the Government into
the hands of such men? We think not,
and the result Of the elections on Tuesday
next will so decide. "Staud from under"

The FAIR-A GRAND Success We'd
nesdoy last, the first day Of the Belmont
County Fair, was very wet aud rae day.
On Thursday morning, however, the sun
came out beautifully, and tho weather con
tinued very fine until the close Of the Fair.
On Friday there was very large crowd Of
people in tendance-larger than has at
tended our County Fairs for many years.
The display of live stock was unusually
fine. while the halls were well filed with the
products nf our farms and workshops. -
Floral Hall was arranged with considerable
taste, and, with its shelves loaded with gor-
geous pictures, needle work, fruit, &c, was
a very attractive place. Farmers Hall was
also fuller than usual, but Mechanics Hall
did not make so good display as in foimer
years.
The racing on Friday afternoon was very
exciting The roam horse Of our townsman,
Mr.. Jos H. Close, took the first premium
in pacing. His principle competitor was a
bay horse fiom abroad, now training on
Wheeling Island course, and driven by the
most consunimate jockey we ever saw-a tlan
by the name Of Chambers, of Baltimore. -
The excitement was intense during this race,
Chambers at one time, when tho roam was
coming up on him id magnificent style,
threw his whip toward the roam, but Mr..
Close held him to it, and passed in fine style
The crowd at this time was wild with ex-
element, and many called Justify for Cham
bers' expulsion from the ring. The trotting
race was easily won by Mr.. Barnhouse' 8
Hiatoga, of Harrison County.
1t was real old dfashioned Fair.
Everybody in attendance, SO far as we
have heard, enjoyedt themselves hugely, and
went away well satisfied.
