REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS

The Governors refusal to express any
opinion as TO who have been legally elected to
represent the several Districts of this State in
the next Congress, says the Wheeling Req-
lister, is likely to deprive the State of repre-.
sentation in the lower House altogether. until
such time as the Committee on Elections sees
MT to report. There is so much uncertainty
as to the time when that Committee will agree
to decide between the conflicting claims of
those. who think they were elected on the 22d
of August, 1872, and those who think that
the Fourth Thursday in October of the same
year was the proper day of election, that it is
feared that nearly the whole session nav pass
without decision of the question, and during
that time West Virginia will have no repre-
sentatives in the House.
1t is incredible that the Governor has no
opinion upon this question He certainly
must think that either one day or the other
was the legal day of election. But he has
refused to express any preference for one over
the other and thus leaves both in doubt It
matters little to the people of the State which
OF the contestants is placed upon the roll, but
1t does concern them to see that somebody is
admitted at the very opening of Congress as
emitted, or'ned foc'e, to seat as represen-
tative of West Virginia. The Governor bav.
ing refused to perform the duty devolved upon
him by law in thesissuauce of certificates of
election to either set of contestants or to
the other, it is plainly within the province of
the legislature to direct other Officer to per-
form the work which the Governor has obsti,
nately shirked. bill for this purpose is now
being considered by the legislative body and
will doubtless become law.

in this matter are with the brave dead Clary.
He was we'll known in Baltimore. Hesw was a.

The Little Trial,

1t has already been announced that the
jury in the case of Lycurgus Little, whose
trial for the murder of his brother. Clinton
Little, has just been concluded at Berryville,
had returned verdict of guilty of murder
in the second degree" and fixed his puuish>
ment by imprisonment in the peni,eptiary for
fourteen years. From the Clarke Courier we
copy the following particulars of the conclu-
sion of the trial:
The case was given to the jury on Thurs
day evening when they retired to their roems
for the night, and on Friday rendered their
verdict. The counsel for the prison r i'm
mediately moved for new trial, but Judge
Turner over.ruled their motion. Bills of ex-
ceptlon to the rulings of the court we're then
filed by the prisoners counsel, who will carry
the matter before the court of appeals with
view OF obtaining new trial for the convic.
ted man.
The prisoner received the verdict with
powerful effort at self>comm and. hut we were
told that he shed. a few tears after taking his
seat
On Saturday, while the bill of exceptions
was being prepared, the mother and sister of
the prisoner entered the court room. CRYING.
aud asked for Judge Turner, of whom the
mother. weeping, besought, after he was point,
ed out to them, permission to see her chill
dreu. The Judge told her he could ONLY al,
low her to speak to them through the grated
door. and to this end he instructed the officers
of the court, after which the mother and
daughter left the court room.
About 3 o'clock, ON Saturday. the prisoner
was brought into court to receive Sc ntence.-
He was pale, but seemed firu, and composed
When asked if he had anything to saw whv
sentence should not be pronounced upon him
after a minutes conversation with one of his
counsel, he replied, "no" Judge Turner
then proceeded to pronounce the sentence of
the court, in conformity with the decision of
the jury. When the Judge mentioned the
term OF imprisonment, the prisoner inter.
rupted him by asking. .How long. Judge ?"
'fourteen years" replied the Judge but
oy course OF good conduct on your rart. and
ready: obedience to the rules and officers of
the prison, this period may be lessencd.-
our course of Conduct, when backed by the
influence of your friends, will have its weight
with the Governor when he is importuued to
shorten the time of your imprisonment. This
is the onlyconsolation can offer you"
The prisoner thanked the Judge. who dis
played more feeling under the circumstances
than che unhappy man before him.
Counsel for the prisoner asked for a sus.
pension of the terms of tho sentence for sixtv
days. until the court of appeals conld be heard
from. Shortly after, the prisoner and his
brother Oscar were carried, hand-cuffed and
hobbled, to Winchester, where they were con-
lined in the Jail of Frederick county.
