The newly elected Judge of this Circuit,
c. J. Faulkner, Jr, was in this place on
Tuesday the 18th the day fixed by law for
holding the Circuit Court of this County
ready and prepared to discharge the duties
devolyed upon him. But when he arrived
here he found that serious doubt existed
amongst the members Of the bar as to the
validity of Court held by virtue of an
Erecuf;re Commission. under the Constitu
tional Amendment recently voted for and
probably adopted by the people 30 strong
was this impression, that no grand jurors,
nor witnesses had been summoned, and one
of the most prominent lawyers was absent
under the full belief that no Court would be
held. Judge Faulkncr's opinion was very
decidedly expressed, that the Court could
have been legally and properly held under
his commission from the Governor, and that
there was nothing in the Constitutional
Amendment which interposed any difficulty
in his proceeding with the business OF the
Court; but rs no preparation had been
made for the trial Of causes, and as the IN
terests of the parties litigant might be more
preiudiced than forwarded by questions
which might be raised touching the author
ity of the Court and which, whether we'll
taken or not, might lead to the delay OF ap-
peals. he acquiesced in the views Of the bar
and decided not to hold a term of the Court
until after his qualification under Com
mission based upon his election by the poo
pie for the unexpired term. He will, there
fore, order 4 special term early IN January

The Executive Committee OF Indiana,
composed of such men As English, Hen
bricks. Mcdonald, &c. issued an address to
ihe democrats of that State few days ago,
swing some of the causes of the recent de
mocratic defeat there, to-wit; The partial
success of the Radical scheme 10 Atricanize
the state forpolitcal purposes; the corrupt
use of money for the purchase of vOtes;-
the importation and use of repeaters, pro-
tected by deputy mar5hals, and the aid de-
rived by them from the use Of the Federal
machinery of elections under the pretense
of supervising the election OF members OF
Congress in the Presidential election.
The Committee then goes on to say: I've
will not. in November, have to encounter
these forces 10 the same extent as in our
State election. Their corruption fund will
have to be divided among many States =
their repeaters will be home, and those of
them who were discharged from the arrest
of the deputy marshals, on straw bail, will
not be likely to make their appearance in
our State soon again. We shall have no
Federal powers, no Federal marshals or
Federal machinery TO contend against. =
The Democrats of Indiana are not discour-
agcd-haye not relaxed their effort, and
have no doubt Of carrying the State for
Hancock in November. The Committee
scntiously concludes by reminding the de-
mocracy that they "haye a leader in
this contest who never sounds re-

For Congress:
HON. JOHN BLAIR H0GE,
our Circuit Court Postponed.
or BcrkeIeU C0Ullfy,

Judge Charles J. Faulkner, Jr., was IN
town on Tuesday, the 18th Instant for the
purpose of commencing on that day the
regular term of the Circuit Court. After
due consultation, however, with the mem-
bcrs Of the BAR it was thought advisable
under all the circumstances TO omit the term
and in lieu of it hold at an early day after
the first of january next, a special term
This conclusion was reached in consequence
of the uncertain condition of the law pro-
duccd by the Constitutional Amendments
supposed 10 have been adopted, and existing
legislation relating TO filling vacancies IN
the office Of judge Of the Circuit Court
The propricty of this course was strength
sucj by the probability tina, much OF the
Important business % De transacted would
have been retarded, rather than facilitated,
by exceptions to the jurisdiction of the
Court, and consequent appeals TO the Court
of Appeals. \ special term as above mem
toned, will be an avoidance of all possible
difficulty and was doubtless the safest thing
10 be done Ia the premises.

LATER.

The reader will observe by the following
telegram, that the accident occurred on the
construction. not on the portion of the road
now being used by said company:
A telegram from Hagerstown, Md, says:
"The reports OF the effect Of a tornado in
Virginia to trestlca at East Liberty, Va, on
the line of the Shenandoah Valley railroad
are greatly exaggerated. The trestle is the
only unfn she'd portion Of the road now un-
der construction, is twenty miles distant
southwark from Milford, the present opera
ting terminal Of the northern and completed
portion. which extends from Hagerstown to
Milford, seyenty-six miles. The trestle is
less than one thousand feet long, and the
injury sustained by it from the recenttorna-
do does not interfere with the operations of
the completed portion of the railroad, nor
will It affect the rapidity with which there
manning part of the line is being construc-
ted. The expected time Of completing the
whole line viii not be deferred by the mis-
hap. "-Baltim1re Sun.
