THE OHIO CRY NAIL MILL.

1t looks very much as though there
would be trouble in connection with the
recent sale of this mill, which was quite
unlocked tor. AS reported in
our columns at the time, the
mill was virtually sold to MIR.
II. w. SMITH, of Msrtin's>feyy, who
represented the stockholders. A bid was
made by Mr.. WIZ. CLARKE, but IS he
did rot raise the money required in the
time prescribed, his offer was not accept
cd. THERE'S second mortgage on the
mill which is held by parties in Cleve-
land, some OF whom were present at the
sale. 1t was expected that they might
endeavor TO raise objections 10 the final
disposition of the property, on that
occasion, but as such action was not
taken, it was generally supposed that
they intended to let the matter rest. This
idea however has been pretty thoroughly
dispelled within the past few days. Ex-
Judge Miller of Steubenville, as attorney
of the Jackson and Cleveland Iron Com
panies, has filed bill in the
Court OF Common Pleas praying tina: the
sale made on the 23d inst. may be set
aside for various reasons. The chief ones
are, First, That the sale was not made
on the day named in the advertisement,
and that legal notice was not given OF Its
postponcment. Second, That the lssu-
ing OF the first mortgage bonds, amount
ing to $4,000 was illegal, as there was
no law at the time the bonds
were issued which gave the
company such a privilege, al
though one came into being afterward
Third, That as the bonds were bought for
amounts considerably below their par
value, the interest which is demanded
upon them is usurious and should not be
paid. Tho other reasons are minor ones.
The motion for the confirmation of the
late sale will be argued some day this
week, and until the termination of this
is reached the whole matter is in q de-
lightiully muddled state.

JUDGE FLEMING.

Yesterday, on the petition OF the uni.
ted bar of Fsirmont together with favor
able expressions from other sections OF
the Second judicial Circuit, Governor
MATHEWS appointed Hon. A. BROOKS
FLEMING to the Judgeship made vacant
by the death of Judge CHARLES 5.
LEWIS. So far as we know, Mr.. FLEM
1se was the only. gentleman OF the many
good lawyers of the Circuit pressed upon
the attention Of the Governor for
the place. His eminent fitness
Tor the position is conceded by all. lie
is a man OF upright character and pure
morals; he has an evenly-balsnced and
we'll cultivated mind; he is learned in the
law, Is well known TO the people OF the
greater part of the Circuit, and is per-
sonally popular withal. HIS appoint
ment will undoubtedly be generally sp.
proved.
If to any one this action of the Gov
ernor seems hssty, we need only to re-
mind him of the fact that, owing to the
protracted and severe illness of the late
Judge LEWIS, the business of the Circuit
is greatly behind. In the first place it is
large Circuit, and The Judicial labor in
1t is very great. 1t is composed OF SIX
counties, viz: Harrison, Doddridge,
Taylor, Marion, Monongalia and Wetzel.
Although Judge LEWIS was an invalid
almost from the time no took his seat on
the bench, over five years ago, he
worked with diligence, bravery and
devotion TO duty seldom equsled. But
with failing health and increasing busi-
ness, the dockets in some of the counties
got badly behiad. The Taylor. county
docket is especially in a behind hand
condition. They have managed for
several terms to have enough criminal
business in that county, to occupy the
principal time Of the court, so that By
the time this was disposed Of and little
chsncery business attended to, there has
been but little time left for the civil
work. The time for the commencement
of the next term of the Taylor court is
now at hand; the Harrison Fall term
was adjourned over for restoration OF
Judge LEWIS health, aud the work in all
the counties requires early attention. In
view of these things, it strikes us that
the prompt action of tho Governor is to
be greatly commended.

DISCRIMINATION IN FREiGHTs
AGAINST WHEELING.

One of the wholesale merchants of this
city called.our attention, last evening, to
bit of discrimination in the way Of
frelghts which the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company is practicing on the
Wheeling business public. He gave as
an instance the article of flour. This
company charges fifty cents barrel for
carrying flour from Wheeling to Grafton,
Newburg, Piedmont, &c. To this figure
our shippers have made no objection.
1t would be satisfactory, if others
who live further away were
charged in proportion. But this mer-
chant tells us that no saw bills for Flour
shipped from Mansfield, Ohio, to New
berg, for IS cents a bsrrel-l50 miles
further carriage for two cents less
Mansfield is in the midst of the finest
whest-growing region of Ohio--the cspi.
tai of the backbone counties of that
State which were for many years famous
for their grand crops of wheat and rous-
ing Democratic msjorities. There is no
competing line of railroad from Mans
field to Grafton, or Newberg, but there Is
one from Mansfield to Piedmont, Frosts-
burgh and Cumberland. SO there soon
will be, it may be we'll to remind the Bal
timore and Ohio officials, from Wheel
ing to these points provided by the open.
ing of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and
kentucky railroad.
We are further informed that bacon,
lard and groceries are carried from Gin
cinnsti to the points above named at a
rate little lower thsn they are by the
same road from Wheeling, between two
hundred and three hundred miles nearer.
Cincinnati is ono ofthe points from which
Wheeling draws her supplies of meats,
as the region of Mansfield and territory
hundreds of miles beyond, are the sour.
ces from which our millers draw their
supplies of wheat and our merchants their
-four. If, therefore, the railroad officials
persist in carrying such articles from
those places to Wheelins's natural GUS
toners TOR less money than they carry
goods from Wheeling, it will not be long
until Wheeling will have no trade to
carry.
