An effort was made in Washington city on

OF Congress to sign paper recommending
the denomination of Grant, but it met with so
little success that it's movers were sorry thew
had made the attempt One after another of
the Republicans refused to sign. A dispatcb
says: The Massachusetts, delegation refused
point blank to sign any such statement. on
the ground that it was entirely uacalled for
and Cngressmen had no business to attempt
to influence nominations in this way. Sew
'eral delegates signi6ed their willingness to
sign any paper pledging their support to the
nominee of the Philadelphia Convention, but
would go no further. Five Ohio members
would not sign the paper for that State ior
any purpose of this kind. The Louisiana
defegatio" also refused. On behalf of South
Carolina. Elliott, colored delegate. announced
his opposition to Grant. aud said that as the
head of the delegation from that State to the
Philadelphia Convention he expected to vote
against Grants denomination. Tn the Hi.

anything to do with the business whatever.

The judicial Circuit.

correspondent of the Wheeling 7nyeilt
ge"cer is making vigorous assault upon the
new Constitution because this circuit consists
OF but three counties, and contains popula-
ton of but thirty thousand inhabitants. while
many of the circuits west of the Allegheny
mountains consists ofseven and eight Counties
and contain populations of from sixty to sixty,
seven thousand. He denounces this as an
instance of great I'M Justice and inequality, and
ascrlbes the fact. to the commanding influence
OF the delegation from this section of the
State. We are cot sufficiently posted to ex
plain the reasons for this judicial arrangement
but if that writer is correct in his premises
1t only shows the great Importance in making
proper selection of representatives. to every
del'berative body !; and we sincerely hope,
that the people of Berkeley aud Jefferson will
be duly impressed with the value of this suy
gest'ou, when hereafter they select their sen.
ators and delegates to the Legislature of the
State. One eficien. representative is worth
TO the people of any section, dozen of idle.
incompetent and inefficient delegates.

some financial laxisy among off ials in Liberia
