EoIroBs or THE FREE Pass:
The Convention has
to-day decided to add the ninth circuit to the
scheme of judicial organization, and 20 give the
the Allegheny Mountains so that the Counties OF
Jefferson Berkeley and orgag will form one ju-
dicial circuit, and the counties Of Hampshire,
Mineral, Hardy, Grant and Pcrdleton another cir
cult.
/ learn from the clerk to-day Of two decisions
rendered by the Court OF Appeals which may be
OF some interest 10 the County. The first, deliver
ed by Judge Berkshire, dissoviug the injunction
heretofore awarded 10 Crow and Howell restrain
ing sale Of the jail property in your town. The
effect OF this decision is 20 declare that property to
belong to the County, and to be vested in the
Board OF Supervisors for its use; so that Board
may proceed 20 make such disposition OF il as the
interests Of the County require. In the other case
Of Harris againnt Fisher A. Lewis, Judge Max
well delivered the opinion of the court Affirming
the judgment Of The Circuit Court with damages
and costs. This is a somewhat celebrated case as
| learn, IN your court the bond being made paya-
bic six months after ratification Of peace between
the United States and the Confederate States OF
America. The Court examined the documents
very carefully. but could not satisfy themselves
that the event had occurred upon the happening
Of which the bond was made payable.
The legislation adjourned Yesterday; and !
learned from some of the leading members Of the
Convention that the members Of that body will
probably bid adicu to our city in some three weeks
from this time.

DISSERTATION Or OUR GRAvEYARDs Last
Saturday night some Decorating wretches en-
tered the different burying places Of our town
and removed the marble slabs from many Of
the graves, in SONS instances breaking down
the brick work on which the slabs rested
Several Of the slabs were broken by these
scouudrels; every graveyard was visited by
them, as was discovered on Sunday morning.
It's surmised by some that the thieves and
burglars, who have been so active this winter,
placed their stolen goods in these toombs, and
on Saturday night were seeking their hidden
booty. Several tags-such as are used on
goods-and other articles seem to give a colour
ing Of truth to these surmises. - Winchester

How Grant is to be Beaten.

Judge Dayis's letter of acceptance shows
that be thoroughly comprehends the situation.
In that letter be declares that it is the part Of
patriotism neither to seek nor decline the
Chief Magistracy. lie would, of course, like
to be President and, seeing that the candi-
date who shall be agreed upon to run against
Grant is likely to succeed, he is willing to avail
himself Of whatever prestige his Labor Reform
nomination can give him toward securing the
high position. He knows very well, however,
that the question Of the anti-Grant candidacy
must be definitely determined by another con-
vention or other conventions. His conditional
acceptance is so phrased as to allow him to
withdraw gracefully should the Cincinnati
Convention fix on some other man or the De-
mocracy refuse to ratify Though willing to
take advantage Of the opportunity afforded of
putting himself in the line Of promotion, Mr.
Davis is not unaware of the fact that the
choice Of those of bis party who hold with
him that the good Of the country requires that
Grant shall be defeated, IS as likely, or even
more likely, to fall on Trumbull or Gratz
Brown than on him, aud we think is evidently
prepared to acquiesce in such selection.
The undissuised antagonism Of representa-
tive Republicans Ike Schurz, Trumbull, and
Davis leaves litts or no room to doubt that
Grant may and will fail Of reelection next
November, if the different elements of opposi-
ton combine against him, as we have no reas-
on TO doubt they will DO. What is to be the
nature Of that combination-whether the Lib
eral Republicans are to assist in the election Of
a Democratic President, or the Democrats will
consent to aid In making Trumbull, Brown
or Davis Chief Magistrate of the nation-re-
mains yet to be developed.
