THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.

The last issue of the Spirit Of JET
ferson contains an editorial on this
subject raising the question of local
prerogative, which simply applies to
the sparseness or the muchness (coin-
ing our own terms) of small and great
local ms and local outs. Whilst DO
ing this, it however pays the prob
ably appointed, Colonel Faux
ner, quite compliment, saying:
sHe is without doubt a talented
lawyer, and would wear the judicial
ermine as unsullied as any man
in the district, and could we con-
ceive the county of Berkeley justly
entitled to the nomination, he would
have our most cordial support"
This is no doubt well meant and
beyond cavil, very true. But, imme-
diately after comes the Blow both at
him and at our county. We quote !:
Berkeley county, however, has
enjoyed the honor of having one of
her distinguished citizens in that
position for series of years, and he
having been chosen, and that with
the cordial support Of Jefferson
county, to be the standard-bearer of
the party in the Congressional race,
it has never been conceived by the
people of Jefferson that Berkeley
would interpose straw in the way
of comforting the nomination for the
judgeship upon member of the JEFF
ferson bar"
Now if there is anything in loca-
tion, without touching any political
questions, all that can be gathered out
of it is in favor Of having the judge re-
side at Martinsburg, Berkeley coun-
ty. 1t is central and accessible to
the bars Of both Morgan and Jeffer-
son. Martinsburg is the second
town in point of population ia the
State, and within her limits the
judge of this circuit should have his
headquarters. But, why does Jeffer-
son claim this Office over either Nor.
gan or Berkeley, especially over the
former !? Why cannot Morgan assert
equally as good claims for her law.
yers? But on the special question
of "honors" let us refer to the West
Virginia record and see how the ac-
count stands. Jefferson has had the
judgeship twice, in the persons of
Judges Balch and Chapline-Berke.
ley once in the person of Judge
Hoge. Jefferson has the Court OF
Appeals, which meets once a year in
Charlestown. 1t has had a Judge OF
the Court Of Appeals, who is now
renominated for the same position.
A citizen of that county took from
the Grafton convention the honor OF
delegate to the Cincinnati conven-
ton. One of her distinguished citi-
zens was appointed elector at large
by the recent State convention at
| this place. On the Democratic State
Committee, Mr.. Gettinger, of Berke-
ley gave way for Jeffersonian and at
Fairmont the honors of the Congress
sional Committee was asked and
given to citizen Of that county,
and for State Senator, Jefferson is
