Expensive Courts.

On all sides We hear complaints of the time
and money consumed by our courts. The
January term Of the County Court lasted II
days; and 81 jurors attended court Three
persons constitute the court; their pay was
Sl40; the jury cost upwards of 1890
But this is only part of the expense
Every day man spends at court, is days
work lost-for a man don't procure anything
on tho jury-hence, the loss to the County
counts twice, for the days work is worth
Sl.25, to which we must add the peraien,
paid by the county. Then, consider the wit
nesses, parties to suits, and the horses taken
from the forms it is safe to say that every day
OF CONT costs the county at enst Sl00 We
had court in January. and in March we
have another term of the County Court and
begin the Circnit Court.
We are Informed only three cases were de.
cided by the jury, at the last term. the balance
of the time was consumed discussing Za,o
points, viz: Talking law to three gentlemen
WHO never studied the subject day in their
lives; gentlemen, who. ifthey chance to have
occasioa to apply law knowledge to their own
private business, go to a lawyer and Lmv it.
We don't mean to criticize our Magistrates,
they are gentlemen of intelligence and would
do honor to any community, all we mean to
say is, that people don't go to carpenter to
shoe horse. or to a shoemaker for medicine,
and that we believe our County Court can be
so modified that it will despatch it's business
in one third the time, and at less than half the
present cost =

RELIGIOUS STATISTICS,

4 correspondent of the-Wheelug Register
complies the following religious statistics from
the census of 1870:
The total number of church organizations
in West Virginia is 500. They arc dirided
as follows among the denominations. In this
summary review denomnational divisions are
overlooked: Methodist SO; Baptist, 325 :;
United Brethren, Oh; Presbyterian, 50 !;
Roman Catholic. 40; Christian. sc; Lutheran,
D. Episcopal, 81 The remainder is divided
among a number Of denominations The
Evangelical Association have organizations;
Jews, l German Reform. .; Second Adj
vent, 8 Univorsaist-, 4 unknown, IL
Those which are reported rs having none, are
the Congregational, (they now have one at
t!untiugton), Friends. NIoravian, Mormon,
SweGenborgian, Dutch Reform, Shaker,
SPiritua!ists aud Unitarian. The number of
eiiices is LOIS. The sittings are put down
as follows: Methodist, 1852, $50 Baptist. g.,
$50; Presbyterian. 1920; Roman Cnti~
olics, 1880; United Brethren, 1880;
Episcopal, . 800; Lutheran, 1900; Chris
tian, G,409 Total sittings, 397,3f5. The
entire population of the State is given as
442,0l4 According to these figures there
are HI, 600 persons, just abou, one third of
the population: for whom there arc no sittiugs
in the churches. But if young children, the
sick aud those who are unable to attend are
deducted. this proportion may be decreased at
least one-half. This still would leave sixth
Of the people who unprovided for, upon
the superstition that all who are able would 90
to church every Sabbath. Now, if the fact
is taken into consideration that very large
number of these churches are in the country,
and only have services once in two or three
weeks and then in many cases are not half
filed. it becomes apparent tlat perhaps not
more than a half Of our people, if indeed 50
many. regularly attend church There is no
single Sabbath on which that number are in
their places For the worship of God The TO-
ference is not that our people arc heather,
but that there is still plenty Of room for all
the denominations who are engaged in this
field

county. lie has given an account Of the
murder to his spiritual adviser, Rev. Mr..
COlmer, ard also to Sheriff Fringer The
statement is substantially as follows On the
morning Of the murder lie had difficulty

The W. Va. Congressional Contest.

The House of Representatives on the 9th
inst, by strict party vote, decided that
Hon. John j. Davis is entitled to the seat
from the First West Virginia district, and
that HonJ. NJ. Hagans is entitled to the seat
from the Second district.
The ostensible ground for the contest was
to test the legality of the August and October
elections, but doubtless the political status of
the contestants had much to do with the
solution of the question. We would not dare
express an opinion on so delicate Que stion,
but cannot help observing that nearly all the
Republicans voted on one side of this obstruse
question and that the Democrats with equal
uuanimty voted the other way Now Just
what mans political opinions have to do
with his construction of legal proposition is
not quite clear to our minds.
This leaves our genial friend Hon. B.. F.
Martin ''out in the cold" Mr. Martins
defeat will be deeply regretted by his NAM
erous friends in this county, irrespective of
party. He is deservedly one of the most
popular men in the county No man is more
afIablc, ecntlemauly and courteous in his
bearing than he. Had Congress seen fit to
have given him the seat he would have filled
it houorably and creditably; he would have
made a representative to whom West Virginia
could have pointed with pride. He is ready
and brilliant debater, ripe scholar, a first
class lawyer, and with all and above all a
conscientious, honest; high toned gentleman
and consistent Christian Grafton Sentinel.
