Frivolous Prosecutions.

Charleston courier.
Complaint is made of prosecutions for
frivolous or malicious causes, Ill the
States Court for the District OF West
Virginia 1t is not denied that many
of the indictments found at the recent
term Of that Court i'll this city, are we'll
founded. On the contrary, II is admit
ted that an unusual number vi most
fragrant violations OF law have been
committed in some OF the back counties,
and that the Grand Jury has very prop
crlv taken cognizanCe thereof.
But for some reason or other, CON
siderable amount Of unnecessary work
work that can hardly bc justified on
the score Of public economy or public
policy, has been done i'll the way OF in
| dictments for violation OF the revenue
laws. Many persons have no doubt
| innocently transgressed the rigid RI gu.
| lations concerning the sale Of leaf to-
| hacco. The amount involved IN any
one case would be too trivial to he
considered Us influencing anybody
| to perpetrate fraud on the Govern
ment. But quarrel with neighbor
! brings up general review oil records
! the sale or barter al a twist OF tobacco
does not escape mention: complaint Is
| made To the nearest commissioner; ar
| rest follows, and then number OF trips
to Charleston by the prosecuting Wit
ness or witnesses, with per diem and
mileage paid by the Government; and
when the case is finally disposed OF the
District Attorney finds to his disgust
that the money and machinery of the
Government has been used to crafty a
hit of personal spite.

We confess our surprise to notice the
tone OF the State press, in some quar-
tiers, upon the revival and re-adoption
of the whipping post torture in this
State. Many OF the papers Of West Vir-
ginia are advocating the re-establlsh-
ment of this "relic Of barbarism" for the
punishment of criminals. We are oP-
posed to it, although there are inteili-
gent and thoughtful citizens throughout
Monongalia county-even in our mod
ern little Athens-who advocate whip
ing the naked flesh of wrong-doers for
petty crimes.

Who Wrote Shakespeare ?

Hamlet" overheard Julius Caesar
tell liking Lear" on the Twelfth Night"
after the Tempest" that Antony and
Cleopatra" had told "Coriolanus' that
Two Gentlemen of Verona" were the
authors of Shakspeare's plays. Lear said,
"You may take it AS you like it, but |
don't believe it for | heard Romeo and
Juliet say twas Loves Labor Lost when
'Troilus and Cressida' stole the Comedy
of Errors, and sold it to the Merchant
of Venice" "TimOn of Athens" and
"Cymbeline" were parties to tho theft,
and after drinking Measure for Meas
ure" with the MERRY Wives OF Windsor, "
told King John" all about it. Richard
ILL.," "a competent critic said Bacon
could not write even Winters Tale :"
and Henry VIII" says That Settles It. "
So why make so Much Ado about No
thing?" "Othello' was busy dealing a
game of cards to the ", v, and VI.
Henry's, and the only remark made by
them was an occasional Don't turn"
Hold on, and few other forcible re-
marks of a cursory nature. and as Rich
ard H." was absent Tanning tho Shrew,"
| could get no further evidence as to who
wrote Shakespeare. But Calls Well that
Ends Well, isn't II?
