The Recent Petitions Presented tc
the Board of Commissioners.

Editors Of tho IntellIgcnces:
Permit me through your columns to
correct a statement in regard 10 the pc.
tition presented TO the Board Of Commits
sioners at their meeting on Monday.
There were two papers, one of them
signed by some three hundred citizens.
Out Of one hundred persons solicited to
siga the petition only five refused, and
three Of them were 6ires who feared to
incur the displessure Of husbands, The
ladies are almost a unit in favor Of Nc
Rcen@. The other paper bore the sig
natures Of near three hundred roters, some
Of them men Of just as good judgment
and knowledge OF what would best con
tribute to the interest Of the community
as any Of the Hon. Commissioners. We
feel that we were justified in the expec'
lotion that one at least Of that Board,
would have called for the reading Of thai
paper. We are not discouraged, and
hope 10 so weary them, that they will re-
sign and leave their offices TO be filled BY
men who will dare 10 do their duty, and
stand up for God and humanity,

Mn. WA1Krn Of the Charleston co,lrtl

Mr., WALKER Of the Charleston Courier
seems 10 take a great deal Of comfort in
copying articles from the Morgantown
Post and Msrtinsburg statssman in oppo-
sition to the proposed Capital Convention
At Grafton, as II said articles were expires.
sIons Of popular sentiment in favor Of re-
tanning the Capital at Charleston. In
conveying this impression TO the public
Mr.. WALKER Is simply deiuding his read.
ers, What special motive actuates the
MorgAntown Post in regard to the Capital
question We pretend not to say. The
Grafton Sentinel Is uncharitsble enough
to insinuate that an appropriation TO the
University lies ct the bottom Of 1t. We
do not endorse the insinuation, however,
but attribute tito one Of those peculiar
kinks that the Post Is liable TO take on the
questions Of the day. Certainly the Post
does not mean to DO understood as express.
Ing the Idea that the people Of Monopgalia
areip favor Of Charleston as tho permanent
capltalof this State. We understand 1t
simply to decline to enter into an agita-
tIon Of tho subisct Of removal al this
time. As to the Views oI the Martins
burg paper on the subject, they are some.
what queer and inexplicsble. We should
suppose that persons who live as far from
the Capital as tho editor OF the Statesman
would be glad to compromise upon some
half iwAy point instead Of being compell-
ed to travel from one extreme OF the
State 70 the other, especially q party as
ayerset to travelling over the Baltimore &
Ohio road as the editor Of the Salesman.
Butseriously, and while according to.
these papers all due weight and courtesy,
we can inform the editor Of the Courier

DKoHloN OF CIRCUIT COURT AFFIRMED
LITTLE Rock, May 7.-Four Of the five
Judges OF the Supreme Court, in session
at the State House to-day, .fe.afflrmed the
decision Of the Circuit Court, under
which decision Brooks took possession ol
the Governors Office. No LAWYERS were
present except those who remain inside OF
the camp at the State House. On The
9TH Of October last, when full bench was
present, the Court had the same question
up, and decided as follows:
Under the Constitution, the determine
ton Of o question as TO whether q person
exercising the Office of governor has
been duly elected or not, is vested In The
General Assembly OF the State, and
neither this or any other State court has
Jurisdiction over suit in relation TO such
o contest, be the mode or form whatever
It may, whether at the suit OF the Attorney
General relative to the claimant, through
him or BY an individual alone claiming a
right to the Office, such issue should be
made before the General Assembly. It ia
their duty to decide, and no other tribunal
can determine that question. ~
(6igned) L. GREGG,
NJ. L. STRPHRNsoN,
e! j. SRARLR.
The Bakeries claim that the decision
today amounts to nothing, first, because
legal court Is composed OF full bench
and second, that the question Of Governor.
ship is one for the Legislature alone tc
determine.
