6he Shenandoah Democrat Of this week, re-
.eursto the Printing Of Records fer thu
Court'o Of Appeals at Staunton, and devotcs 8
column and half to the subject. The poin
in the whole matter seems to be that tn,
Clerk Of the Court Of Appeals and four of tn,
Judges 1--WE stated three last week. who have
examined the matter, construe the law one way
and tho editor Of the Democratic another. tn.
Clerk acts under the construction he himself
gives the law, in which the Judges of the cour,
fully sustain him, and confines the printing
to the city of Staunton. The Clerks Of the
Court of Appeals at Richmond and Wytheville
do the same. There is oneness in the views
these officials entertain of their duties. They
are in harmony with the views of the Judges
The records are printed to the satisfaction Of
all the parties, and at reasonable, living rates
only for the printers. Now, when these are
known facts, we cannot conceive the business
or the propriety Of the criticisms. Of our &C.
temporary. II there is ''rins" about it we
are unable to perceive it. It is most too small
a business to justify the formation Of 'sring.''
If we remember right, the Democrat object
ed to the Clerk constituting the law. The WIN
CHESTER Times certainly did, in paragraph. on
this subject. 1t 90 happens that the Judges
themselves were consulted and they gave the
same construction that the Clerk does. So
this point is no point at all, and we think i'm
partial minds will conclude that all tho contro-
versy in the premises is ''much ado about
nothing" We are certainly done with it.
Whatever new law may be enacted, or amend
ment to the present law, we think we are safe in
saying the Court Of Appeals Clerk a. Staunton
will faithfully observe alegitimate construction

competitor Governor Duncan McArthur) by
one cote. Entering the House Of Representa-

of that body. At the end Of his term he was
elected United States Senator over Hon. Thos.
Ewing-again by one vote-that being the
Democratic majority in the Ohio Legislature.
His career in the Senate is part of the history
Of the country. His service in the Senate COM
pretended tive full terms, extending from the
4th March, 1887, to the 4th March, la49.--
While in the Senate he was chairman OF the
Committee on Foreign relations. All remen-
Der how, after long retirement from, public
