PARKERsBURG, July l0.-The Wood county
Circuit Court, Judge J. w. Jackson presid.
ing, was convened at 10 o'clock this morn.
ing. Judge Jackson's charge to the grand
Jury was one OF the ablest and most thor.
ough charges ever delivered in Wood coun-
ty court house. The Judge dwelt at some
length upon several important points, and
that portion of his charge relating to the
rights of capital and labor, and the protec-
tion due each, was especially instructive
and interesting to all who heard him. The
prese& term promises to be one OF more
than usual interest, there being several
criminal cases to be heard. Joseph PAUL.
The Surviving Actor I'm the Bloody
Tragedy
which occurred here few weeks ago will
probably have hearing some time during
the term. Able and eminent counsel has
been employed by PAUL. The State will be
represen ted by Col. J. G. Mcclure, Prose
cutting Attorney for Wood county.
The case OF the State vs.. Lightner and
Boyer, for stealing wheat, has been on trial
this afternoon. -
The Grand Jury has already found sever
al indictments, principally against liquor
dealers in this city. Paulrs case was pre-
sented to the Grand Jury this afternoon,
and true bill of murder in the first de-
gree was found.
The Republican Convention,
held at the Court House, on Saturday after.
noon, for the purpose of appointing dele
gates to the Congressional Convention, was
not the most harmonious one ever held.
Ex-Governor Bowman submitted some res
olutions which called forth considerable
opposition, especially the resolution in.
structing the delegates 10 use their infiu-
ence in the convention, against making any
nominations at present. Gov. Bowman,
Judge Loomis and Gov. Stevenson are all
in favor of this policy. The younger Por-
ton OF the party here so far as we can
learn, are in favor Of an open, fearless
campaign with straighout Republican
nominee for Congress. The many little
groups OF Republicans to be seen discussing
the situation on the streets, to-day, was
evidence of considerable interest in the
matter, but il is to be hoped harmony will
soon prevail again.
A prominent Greenbacker, told me to-day
that his party had their

farmer of Washington bottom, who was the
Greenback candidate for sheriff OF Wood

OF homer and integrity. Their candidate

one Of the many prosperous farmers on
Washington Bottom, below this city.
In case Judge I,oomis should receive the
nomination for the Court OF Appeals he
would command the support OF the Green.
