bis legislative career in general, have
signaliZed him as very proper man
to be sent up to represent the District

that Prescott is elected Governor and

The Status OF the Recorder

To every unprejudiced mind the deA
decision OF Judge Okey, awarding TO
Barnes the office Of County Recorder,
which was rendered after a most elab-
Orste and careful examination of every
question and fact which tended to
throw light upon the intention Of the
voters of Belmont county, is satisfac'
tory and 1t is accepted as founded upon
the evidence and law in the case, not
withstanding the howls of the untruth.

tempts to manufacture out OF whole
cloth, testimony, and put decisions in
the mouth OF the Court which We're

vestigated and tried the case under, his
solemn oath and according to law, his
decision should command respect until
at least 1t be set aside, by some more
competent court than that presided
over oy the parsonage who presides
over the st. I lairsyille Gazette, or the
tinctionaries Of the Commissioners, Of

having decided that Barnes was the
legally elected Recorder, his decision
vacated the finding OF the Board of
county eanyassers, and under It Barnes
was entitled to enter upon the duties
Of his Office, after filing his bond and
taxing the necessary oath. ~ 80 aoqI
Last week he presented his official
bond with Henry West, G. w. Carroll
and w. p, Frazier as sureties, to the
County Commissioners for approval.
The Commissioners with PARTISAN
ship scarcely to be excepted, espel tally
when their action could not effect the
title to the Office In dispute, refused to
approve the bond Of Mr.. Barnes, be-
cause, as they allege, the question of
title Is in litigation, at the same time
SGating that there was no objection to-
the sufhciency or form OF the bond. To|
a disi7terested observer, their action
Jocks very much like an endeavor on
their part to thwart the, Judgment of
a Court of competent jurisdiction, and
to set up for themselves little king

was in litigation, they did not object
to the bond of Mr.. Wright, but appro-
we'd it without q word. The shoe is on

would have relieved the Commission

tion. As the case now stands, MIR.
Barnes attorneys have secured a quo

compel Mr.. Wright to answer by what
title he holds the Office OF Recorder.
His answer will show that he has no
title, and Mr.. Barnes will be put in
