AT Whose Instance /?


The Board Of Supervisors at their last meet
ing determined to submit to the voters at The
October election the question Of abolishing the
County Court provided for in the New Consti-
tuticu. Who pray, asked them to do such a
thing? Have not our people in the over
wi,luing majority just given for the New Con-
Si1ution expressed their determination to try
IL as Il js2 Does not the movement originate
>ol'y with two OF three radical soreheads in
,be Buari. aud few chronic aspirants for Of
fee outside? The former are unwilling to let
go Tie county purse, and lie latter are always
anxious fer new elections IN the vain hope Of
some accidental elevation. Let not the Board
Of Supervisors add to the odium which some
Of their members have brought upon them, by
pcrseveTiug in a step that amounts to nothing,
las au examination of the New Constitution
viii readily show aud is uncalled for by the
rcall but instead Of stirring up popular in
ji.uation by futile attempt to perpetuate
themselves, let them rstire gracefully from
power, and propitiate public feeling by pub
fishing, as the law requires, a full statement Of
their disbursements Of the public money in the
last fiscal year.
We call upon them for repeal Of this unad-
yised ordinance, aud the production Of tue fl
naucial statement.

Hon. C. j. Faulkner.

The defeat Of Mr.. Faulkner for the nomina-
ton, at tue Grafton Convention, is matter Of
sincere regret to his many friends, and is a
blow to the true and vital interests Of West
Virginia. We needed statesman Of ability
to represent US in Congress We needed a
man whose talents would give our young
State some importance in the National Legisla-
ture, but above all the country stood in need
Of the couasels Of her wisest citizens TO beat
back the onslaughs Of Radicalism, upon the
very citadel Of liberty itself Such citizen
the 2nd Congressional district possessed in tho
person Of Mr.. Faulkner.
Mr. Faulkner represented the sth Congress
sional district of which Berkeley county for
med part, six years in the National legisla-
ture. Ia all that time he gave himself up to
a strict attention to his representative duties,
working with an energy and determinodness,
for the advancement eff the interest of his con-
siituents which no other representative in
that body ever before exhibited. HO even
deprived himself of those moments Of rslaxa-
ton from labor, which Congressman generally
avail themselves Of to recupsrate their exhaust
ed energies. During his six years of repre-
sentative life, in the dissipatsd city Of Wash
instOn, he was never found in place of pub
lie amusement, nor yet in the halls of soca
hilarity. Whilst other representatives were
enjoying their otium cum dignitate," Mr.
+. was engaged upon committee work, or else
rumagiug the files ofSome ofthe departments
in the interest Of some individual constituent
Such would he have proved himself again
But loyalty to duty ,uutiring energy, command
Ing talents, unapproachable ability, wise states
manship, the material interests Of our State
all must be sacrificed, that the capacious nav
of our trans-Anegany brethren might be filled
and the unmeaning and unfounded prejudces
Of a few individuals might be gratiied.
The defeat Of Mr.. Faulkner, for the nemina-
ton can be matter Of no moment to him
personally. His success could have added
nothing to his Just fame and bis defeat will not
diminish his hold upon the sincere respect
of that large body of his fellow citizens who
appreciate his sterling worth and his CON-
handing talents aud statesmanship.-Naytias-
burg Salesman.

Just and Precise Praise.

Here is the testimony Of an intimate friend
aud associate Of Mr. Greeley;
d" / have known Horace Greeley for almost
a quarter Of a century. For the last half oil
tha, period it has been my privilege to see him
often, and to have opportunities Of observing
what manner Of man heis. Without claiming
au extra share Of ability to Judge Of men, |
may be excused If l think that possess such
ability to an average degree, and in the exer-
else thereof | do, without the least doubt or
hesitation, say to Republicans that Mr.. Gree
ley is perfectly safe man with whom 20 in-
trust Presidential duties. Am asked on what
l base such Judgment answer:
Heis honest
lie is industrious.
He is prompt IN his engagements.
lie IS free from bad habits
lie is morally as pure as the new-fallcn
snow.
lie is kind
lie is familiar with the history of our coun-
try.
lie is known by aud knows as many Of our
public men as any man in the Union.
he knows the capacities of the people and
the resources Of the nation.
lie is conversant with the powers and duties
Of the Federal Government, how far it should
so 10 protecting the citizen, and where it should
stop 10 its dealings with the States.
lie Is jealous of the national honor, and
would always maintain il, as well with foreign
Governments as in its pecuniary and other OBJ
legations
lie is incapable Of a dishonorable act as
citizen or Of disreputable conduct as an official,
and l am quite sure that public trusts confded
to him will be held in honor, administered in
Justice, and faithfully executed in accordance
with law and for the interest of the people"
This praise is not only strong but it is pre-
else. 1t is that which rests upon thorough ac-
quaintancs with the man; and we can well
afford to tolerate peculiarities of demeauor and
abstract opinion, assuming such to exist be-
yond which the cayils of our a9yersaries do
not venture.

Well Spent Years.


Rev. Jno. Cotton Smith, in the course Of his
thirty-ffth anniversary sermon at 9th street
Washington City Presbyterian Church, said.
says the Patriot:
" He had aided in establishing eleven Pres
byterian churches in this city and vicinity
some of which he himself had become respon-
bic for the building OF. their churches. Over
twelve hundrd had united with bis church
during this period about five hundred had
been dismissed to other churches, and nearly
two hundred had died, and at the present time
the church had about five hundred members
on its rolls. He had baptized nearly six hun
bred couples; made over twenty thousand pas
toral visits; preached twice every Sunday, or
nearly thirty-five hundred sermons, and never
repeated sermon in his own pulpit during
that time. Eleven young men from his con-
gregation are now preachers o. the Gospel, and
two others are now preparing for the ministry.
Has held two meetings week during this time,
and often, during seasons of more than ordina-
ry interest in religious affairs, has held five
meetings during the week and three on the
Sabbath. The church has a nice property free
of debt, and is in most furnishing religious
as well as temporal condition. 1t surely will
be said of him at the last day, "Well done
thou good and faithful servant"

Francis Herman, Esq, Of Utica, Oneida
county, New York, who is the Democratic and
Liberal Republican candidate for Governor, is
one of the ablest and most eminent lawyers in
the State. His purity Of character, his IN
challenged integrity, are as widely known as
his name. There is no position in the State
tha. lie could not have had years agoi if he
would have accepted it. He has declined more
offers of honor aud emolument than generally
fall 10 the lot Of one man to accept. After the
developments of rascality in the city Of New
York and Albany, the people demanded man
who would afford guarantee that there should
be no stealing in Legislatures, and they have
found such a one in Mr. Herman. His election
by an immense majority over the octogrnarian
General Dix is as certain as that November
rolls round. Tht selection Of our old Ohiu
friend, and Congressman frem This State from
