proposition is pending to restrict rep
reSentation to one delegate to each
county, without regard to size, and to
allow that delegate to cast vote COR
responding to tho population Of his
eouuty on tue passage Of every bill
Thus, the population ofthe State being
4l2, 900, 1t will be necessary, en- the
passage of abiIl that it receive, say 9!222,-
900. The delegate from Webster win
cast 100 vstes, and the delegate from
Ohio will east $4,000. This is ajust
and fair proposition, for it denies to no
human being his full numerical repre-.
sentative power in tho government. II
We have to fight by numbers, let US vote

good one, un1 we approve it.

III COURT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OF MONrGoMgEY.-Tho FIRST business
before the Court at its present sitting,
was the trial of Henry Montgomery,
charged with being accessory before
tho fact to the murder Of Edmund
West. Our people have become so ia
miliur with the evidence in this case,
that it is needless to 60 back now to
the Sth Of May, 1870, the time tue
cruel deed was committed, and re.
write the horrors Of the bloody scene
gzsa Overs and Henry Montgomery
we're arrested and charged with the
crime; and after long and tedious de.
lays, and several trials. Che men being
tried separately Overs was convicted
at the last May term of the Circuit
Court cf Upshur county, and sentenced
to Imprisonment in the peuitentiury for
life. Considerable difficulty was ex.
pcrienced in securing a jury for the
trial Of Montgomery-ovOr 100 persons
being summoned before a full panel
could be made up. The evidence and
arguments occupied the full time ofthe
Court until the evening of Friday, the
Sth inst, when the case was submitted
to the jury. On the Monday morning
following. the jury returned into Court
aud rendered verdict Of mot Guilty"
whercupon the prisoner was discharged.
The finding of the jury excited NO little
surprise, as the general belief of out
sidOrs led them to expect an entirely
different verdict. Mr.. Montgomery,
after receiving the congratulations Of
bis friends, Immediately started for his
home, on Slurphy's Creek.
Tho counsel in the case-D. NJ.
Bailey for the State, and George j.
Arnold, John Brannon and Henry
BrannOn for the defence, acquitted
themselves nobly. Never did men
work harder, more earnestly. or moro
ably, to accomplish their whole duty.
The case has been very expensive
one I'd tho Sta.e-cOstlng something
away up among the thousands; but il
has hung SO long upon the public that
general feeling Of rClicfis experienced
ut its termination.
Dir. Plant, Indicted some years ago
for petit larceny, was acquitted.
The case Of tue prisoner Lewis, now
confined in jail, charged with horse
stealing, was, ;On motion of bis counsel,
continued until the May term.
The case Of Dick DOwney, charged
with larceny, was also continued.
Perry Williams was sentenced 10
90 days imprisonment in the county
jail, 'and fined $50, for disturbing pub.
lie worship.
Not much business Of a civil charac.
ter has been transacted but as the
criminal docket is now pretty clear, il
is to be hoped that at the May term, q
great many oftho old cases will DO dis.
