appointed him al Associate Justice Of the

he ofiCiated till y few months ago, when
he was completely incapaCitated by

reer occurred 90 long ago that 1t has been
almost forgotten. His judicial career will
be remembered chiefly for itB political
bearings. He was an able and upright
Judgs-one whose integrity and Consct.
entiousness Were never questioned,
though those who differed from him were
apt to think that his views were rather
narrow. He was an old.fashioned Demo-
Crat, and, from frat to last, he adhered TO
that "striCt construction" Of the Constitu.
ton which he had learned in early life to
regard as the true one. He dnclded uni.
formly against Federal election laws,
legal tender laws, and oil other legislation

MUNICIPAL JUpoEsHIP.

GEoReE W. JsFFERs, Esq, Is The ac'
cepted candidate Of the Democratic
party Tor Judge Of the Municipal Court
Of Wheeling. This is not simply the
Police Court, but it is Court possess
sing wide and important civil powers
II is virtually opento the business men
Of the city the year round; and 1t pos,
sesses original jurisdiction in all eivn
cases concurrent with the Circuit courts
with this additional advantage: It's
docket is never encountered WITH APP
neal cases from Justices OF the Peace.
SHIFTS commenced in this Court may be
appealed directly to the Supreme Court
OF Appeals, and thus De settled finally
in much less time than that required in
going through the Circuit Court.
As we said, this Court is virtually in
session the whole year through, as it
has nine regular terms in the year-and,
should business r5quire-may remain
In session portion OF the other three
months.
From what we have said above, the
voter will see that this is the most i'm
portsnt iudgeship, to the people oil
Wheeling, of all the iudgeshiPs- 1t
should be filled by an able and impair
tial LAWYER. Such a lawyer is presented
in the person of GEO. W. JsFFER', Esq
This is not an office to he sought, anu
ii il was GEORGE w. JsFFERs would not
seek it. Yet, il the people OF this city
desire his services in this position and
give emphlsls to that desire by their
votes, he will consent TO serve them
honestly, conscienciousiy-and, We add
ably.
Those citizens who desire 10 place this
important trust in the hands OF Mr..
JEFFERs should confer together and
adopt such measures as will give effect
TO their desires. There should be, and
we believe there will be, no doubt as to
his election by very decided majority.

emit usurpation." But II Is simply
childish and futile attempt to show that
he can upset leader whom he does not
like. He has "ehums" and familiars-
who cay in the hotels and on the street
corners that "GARrrKLD knew he had to
fisht CoNKLlSe, and preferred to have IL
out now" Another says that the
President has said: 1.-THE principle upon
which was nominated at Chicago COM
PEELED a fight with CoNKLISG. Inc
"principle" upon which the President
WAS nominated at Chicago was princi'
pie which disappointed Mr., SHERMAN as
10 the action Of Ohio in the convention
and which robbed GRANT OF votes
enough to have nominated him. II re-
fused to allow even BLAINE any chance
whatever after be had forcioly
torn down the GRANT editice, and
finally Il was a principle which
from the robbers rent the prey,
and gave the nomination, by the acu
dental caprices oil mob, to one who had
scarcely been thought OF in that connec-
ton. Those who saw the mad orgies at
Chicago, in the midst OF which storm
bappened to drift the deJris Of two beaten
armies over TO General Garfield, will not
be impressed greatly by any stilted claim
as to "the principle involved" The
"principle" which now seems to animate
the President is an unseemly lust FOR
power. He seeks to cripple Mr.. Conk-
king, and to sieze the political"machine"
in New York for his own use IN 1881. D."
The Rcpubtican concludes as follows:
The President can destroy the party il
aided by Republican Senators. he has
no divine right to demand such service
of Senators. There is not State III the
Union in which the Republicans will
not cry "Shame" at the sorry work,
He is surrounded by the most destruc
tive influences in the party. ALTER
them the Deluge," Neither he nor
they intend TO stop short OF an absolute
separation from all who favored Grant
and all who do not share their
hatred of Conkling. Their great
prophet, Murat Halstead, says it
must be war to the knife. Well,
when the war is over the men who
lnauguraled it may not find themselves
in possession of the Republican party.
Ii they should, they would be the pos.
aosooro NJ q han mt pstatp The adj
ministratiou may have alliances in con-
temptation which would render the fate
of the Repu' lican party matter OF in,
difference to the President. But he and
those who advise him TO his present
course will not be able to swallow their
new allies. They will rather find as the
present Presidential term progresses
that they are in the hands OF cruel task
masters, and that the Democrats who
now push forward to aid the President
in desn Dying the Republican party Will
be leaders and not followers in 1854.

THE railroad fever is quite general
throught the State. The counties OF
MonongAlia, Marion and Harrison are
stirred mp on the question OF building a
railroad from Cllrksburg to the Penn.
sylyania line To connect with a road
from Pittsburgh SO as to get the benefit
OF a connection with the Pennsylvania
railroad system-thus making both Fair
mont and Clsrksburg competing points
and giving Mor9antown an outlet in
both directions.
The Grafton people want also to be-
come a competing point, and therefore
want a road into Pennsylvania.
Barbour aud Randolph want a rail-
road to Grafton, and thence north.
The people OF Grant, Tucker and Ran
dolRh are hoping for "big things" from
the building of the road which Senator
DAVIS has projected up through the
veritable "Laud OF Canaan" and across
into the Virginia iron regions.
In the southern part ofthe State some
two or three projects for building new
railroads give promise Of success.
Our prediction is, u at West Virginia
will take a leap forward IN material
prosperity during the years 1881 and
1889 the like OF which she has never be.
