Fauikaer or Camden.

1t seems now to. BE- quite well understood
that Mr.. Camden is candidate for Mr.
Faulkners seat in the Senate, and the con-
test before the Legislature next winter
(presuming that the Democrats will have a
majority will probably be between these
two gentlemen. Mr. Camden has done,
perhaps. more for the development of the
State than any other man in it, and is a
public spirited citizen against whom there
is no room, we think, for the unreasoning
prejudice excited against him some years
ago. But, Notwithstanding this, we eau see
no good reason why Mr.. Faulkner should
be outsted. He has ably represented West
Virginia in the Senate, and is rapidly COM
ing 10 the front as one Of the most efficient
men we have ever had in the National coun-
ellis. His course in the Senate Is approved
by his constituents, and it would look like
ingratitude or a lack of appreciation to
turn him down at the end of bis first term,
especially when it is considered that he did
not seek the office. Mr.. Faulkner is an ex-
cellent lawyer, a good speaker, and, like his
distinguished father, great worker, and
has hardly yet reached the prime of his
manhood. With these points in his favor
aud actuated by laudable ambition to ac-
quit himself we'll in the greatest delibera-
tive body on earth, we have every reason to
believe that, with little more experience
he will readily be classed among the most
distinguished, useful and influential mem
bers of the Senate. Have we anything to
gain by the reelection of Mr.. Camden in
his place p Gree,,brier Independent.

Voting Pf.ecincts--Free School Houses
Whence the Authority to Use Ihem

In late issue OF your paper IL Is an-
nounced that the County Court had named
fifteen of the free school houses of the coun-
ty as voting precincts. Whence did 1t get
this authority? A little reflection Will sat
isfy any one that the court has no controi
whatever over the public school houses and
can no more take possession of the SAID
houses for holding elections than it can any
private houses in the county.
The trustees of the several schools and
the several boards of education have entire
and absolute control of all school property
and they can not, under the law, grant the
school houses for the purpose of holding
elections.
The election law (Sec. 4j) makes it the
duty of the court to secure suitable rooms
or buildings for holding elections, but gives
it no authority to use the public school
houses for that purpose.
None of the school houses named are
adapted to the machinery necessary for
properly conducting an election and can not
be made so without great damage to the
buildings and several days interruption to
the sessions of the schools. 1t is true that
election day has been made legal holiday,
but it will take one or two days before the
election to fit up the rooms, and the same
afterwards to remove the distractions and
clean up the buildings.
The school law Sec. 15l empowers the
trustees of each school to permit the build
ing to be used for certain specified purposes,
other than school purposes, and prescribes
the conditions and restrictions on which
they may be SO let, but holding elections is
not one of the uses.
Under the same section, among the de-
cisions of competent authority, may be
found the following:
). "The County Court has no authority
to close a school for the purpose of holding
an election in the school house, or for any
other purpose. Elections should
not be held in school houses at all. The
property is often very materially injured
thereby" A SCHOOL OFFICER.

ton, via B. & o. r. R., from Pittsburg'
Wheeling, Parkersburg, Lexington, and In
termedlate stations to Washington juno
ton, Nd, is announced for Thursday, reD-
ruary 18th. The popularity of these winter
trips to the National Capital via b. u y. Is
due to the exceedingly low rates, the excel
lence of the train service, with Pullman ac-
commodations, and to the fact that the b.

The journey is delightful as we'll as in-
structive, while in Washington are more
interesting sights than in any other Amerl-
can city. The museums, the art galleries,
the White House, the public buildings-to
all of which admission is free-are attrac-
tons at all times appreciated.
