jefferson County.

We are gratifed to see the movement now
in progress to restore the County-seat of Jefer-
sou to Charlestown, charming place, where
we have spent many happy hours, and which
upon every principle is entitled to this dIStinc-
ton. No one can question how much this
change would conduce to the comfort of law
yers, suitors and citizens at large. 1t was
harsh and unmanly policy to deprive it OF Its
original pre-eminence as the County-seat and
we have no doubt that the approaching Legls-
lature will rcctify the injustice under which
that county has been laborins for tie last six
or seven Valley Star.
Upon the same subject the Winchester Times
says: The justice of the proposed change
is so apparent that we do not suppose it will
be opposed by decent man, woman or child
in noble old jefferson"
Notice is already given that application
will be made by citizens of jefferson County,
to the next West Virginia Legislature, praying
the re-establishment Of the county seat at
Chafrstown. a more just and proper request
was never made of any legislative body, and
we sincerely trust that it may be speedily
granted .-Loudoua Mirror.
