The Vacant CIerkship

OF Shenandoah County, caused by the death
of Mr.. Fravel we understand, has been tenn
porarily filed, by the lord chancellor of the
county court, by the appointment OF MIR. Ma
thaniel Barton, who has been discharglng the
ds,ties Of assessor for the upper district for
two years past. Mr.. Barton is probably the
best qualified man in the county vino can con-
scientiously take the iron-clad oath. He was
a school teacher for several years, is pretty
fair scribe and accountant, and, with the as
sistance of the deputy clerk, Wm Smith Ar
thur, Esq, may be enabled to conduct the
business of the Office with some degree OF cor
RICHNESS at least we hope that such may be
the case. This is the most important office In
the county, and its occupant should be man
of thorough business habits, fair intelligence,
and unquestioned integrity.

James G.. Fravei, Esq.

Clerk of Shenandoah County, died at his
residence in this place, on Thursday the 22d
inst. Few men possessed superior business
qualifications to Mr.. Fravel, and few have fill
ed SO many responsible positions in the COM
munity. He was endowed by nature with
more than ordinary mental capacities, and had
enriched his mind by study with much useful
and scientific knowledge. He was we'll inform
ed upon all matters connected with the history
Of the country, and had the remarkable facul-
ty of remembering almost every important
event that transpired. As an intelligent citi-
zen, an obliging and accommodate neighbor,
and public officer, his place will not soon be
filled.

Explanation.

For this benefit of those who have not had
the means of knowing, and who have made
some inquiry in regard to the matter, we state
thai It was not the whole body of the county
court assembled during the first day OF the
court. but the court composed of but three of
the most ,corshYfn1 gentlemen, viz: u. Rye,
P.J., Jno. Kesler and John Boehm, gent. JUS
tees, who passed the late notorious order in
regard to the Herald. We are glad to say that
the entire court is not composed of such-but
many members are gentlemen ofsterling char
acter and principle.

For. the information Of some an the aruse
ment of others, we present our readers day
with one of our artists wood cuts, which,
though net in the highest style of art, Is suf-
fciently expressive to be appreciated by the
lovers of fun. AS our former humble iNustra .
lions gave offence to the honorable county
court, we understand, because they were deem
ed personal, it may be proper to say, for their
special benefit, that the pugnacioas indiFadual
represented by our engraving is not a member
of the county court of Shenandoah he is too
good natured. too sensible, and too funny, to
be numbered among oul county court. Solons;
and he is great deal too good-looking, we
think, TO be guilty of any such association.
With this explanation the county court ought
to be satisfied, and net make it the pretext Tor
another yindictive order. Pooh !

Capital questIon:once More.

Editors IIlteIIigeHcer:
We had not intended troubling the
readers of the ISTELLIaRNcER further
with our views respecting the locality
of a permanent Seat of Government for
the State of West Virginia, yet, as that
all-important question will come nm
tomorrow, and other centres than our
| own having been proposed, and their
merits eXtolled equal to the imaCina-
lions of the ditferenLwriters and speak
| ers, we Will give a few additional rea-
sons why the capital should be placed
at Bulltown, in Braxton county, six
teen miles from the Court House of
said county, and seventy-five miles
from Parkersburg. The little Kanawha
river, at that place, is a stream of some
magnitude, adording all the necessary
facllltles for practicable slack-water
| navigation to Parkersburg. No falls or
rapids, of any consequence, are TO be
found from Bulltown to Parkersburg.
Moreover, locate the capital at Bull
town, and the inevita BILE consequence
VIII, IN very few years be, the con-
structlon of a railroad through that Sec
ton of country, terminating at Charles
ton, on the Great Kanawha, whether
| started from CIarksburG, Graf
ton, Buckhannon or Weston,
consequently, the representatives of
kanawha county, Roane, Clay, Nicho-
las and Gilmer on the west, and Har-
rIson, Lewis, Upshur, Randolph, &c,
on the north and east, will undoubted.
ly represent the best interests of their
own counties and the State at large, by
voting for Bulltown, which will force
the completion of railroad to the seat
of government, and directly through
the heart of one of the richest and most
desirable portions of the State, and
! benefit not only the above named and
] contiguous counties, but advance the
population, wealth and resources of the
! whole State. 1t is painfully evident
and very true, that we have no tiatter-
ing inducements, respecting present
conveniences, TO offer in support of our
request, yet the natural requirements
are there in abundance, and can be
easils developed; moreover, we do not
desire, nor is the State sufficiently able
to commence the erection of permanent
public buildings. Just designate
iChere the capital must be located, and
the necessary and inevitable surround
| ing will be there long before the State
house shall have been commenced, or
