OUR NEW JUDGE.

Hon. Charles F. Scott, the newly
appointed judge of the police court, Is
Of Scotch-Irish descent, born IN VIZ
ginia, his father being wool-groweT
of the fever grades in the county Oh
Brooke; owned slaves, but gave them
their freedom upon arriving at the age
of twenty-one, and added thereto
handsome outfit for both males ana le-
males. The judge received his carry
education at Poland, Ohio, and SuDse-
quently graduated in law at the Uni
versity of Albany, N. Y, in the year
1861. While attending the law school
he enlisted in a college company, was
chosen second-lieutenant, and the
company rendered their services TO
Governor Morgan, but owing to the
rallylng of the entire regiment, the
company was not mustered. Later IN
August of the same year he was by
Col. DeForrest, of New York, selected
to recruit for the cavalry service, but
owing to severe injury was prevented
from being mustered, and after recu-
perating, returned to his native state,
and was later appointed by Gov. Bore
man, of West Virginia, commissioner
of the board of enrolment, and served
until the close of the war. He was &C
tive in the organization of the new
State and in framing laws for the gov
ernment thereof as a member Of the
legislature for eight years. He was
for years prosecuting attorney, and in
1876 led the fight in the first congress.
sional district for Congress in favor Of
resumption against the greenback
heresy. Before the war whig, he
early espoused the republican princi-
plies, and has advocated the same for
thirty-odd years. No man is more
popular with the people and members
of the bar than Judge Scott.
Judge Scott has several commenda-
BILE traits about him. He is a ConScl-
entious Judge, and one who endeavors
to do his duty; he knows no man by
the texture of his skin.

THE BOOK OF THE ROYAL
BLUE.

The "Book Of the Royal Blue" is
sued by the Passenger Department of
the Baltimore and Ohio R. R., has
made its initial appearance with the
October number. and is, undoubtedly,
the most creditable magazine of its
nature published. Aside from being
a model example of modern typogra-
ply, 1t IS most interesting as to its con-
tents. A field for interesting liter
ature is certainly offered by the Balti-
more and Ohio R. R., because it is the
oldest railway in the United States; is
foremost in historical prominence, and
is rich in magnificent scenery. The
latter especially affords an endless
scope for illustrations, and the maga-
zine has started on its venture with all
these points full in hand.
Copies can be obtained by enclosing
our (Q cents in stamps to the Adver.

THE RECENT COOKING SCHOOL
EXAMINATION.
THE PEOPLE sUsPICIoUs-MIss PARKER
PROBABLY WINS,

THE PEOPLE sUsPICIoUs-MIss PARKER
PROBABLY WINS.
The recent examination for teacher
in the cooking school has ended. The
presumption is that Miss Parker was
the most successful candidate. Not
withstanding that every effort was
made on the part of the two leading
candidates to win, Miss Parker'S pa
pers were better than any, the whites
not excepted. The BEE will refrain at
this time from giving the inside history
of this fight, as some one would be
placed in an embarrassing position.
Suffice it to say, however, the public
can rest assured that examinations is
not always test of persons qualif-
cation if some people want you to win.
The BEE would suggest that examina-
tions hereafter be abolished, unless a
better safeguard is placed around can
didates.

be the most successful one ever held

That Shortage.

MIR. Chiffon, late Secretary of
State, has arranged for the speedy
liquidation Of that part of his indebt-
cdncsS To the State growing out of
the use of the States Seal and the
sale Of books, for which his sureties
are responsible, and which amounts
to between eight and ten thousand
dollars. He offered to turn over land
bonds to the Board Of Public Works
for this part of the shortage which
the hoard, very property, declined
to take, 50 Mr.. Chiffon will negotiate
the bonds and pay the cash. After
this shall have been paid there will
be yet large balance due from Mr..
Chiffon, amounting to something
like $1,000, which he collected as
SlptC.iaN ON Corporations, whereas
under the law this tax should have
been pald to the Auditor. The cor
purationS paid the tax to the Secre-
tary hy virtue of a custom of fifteen
year, standing, but in as much as he
had no legal right to collect it, the
SurCtiCS on his bond cannot DO held
!or it. SO unless the money can be
collected from Chiffon himself, who,
We think, is liable for so much
money had and received, the State
will probably lose il.
The Board Of Public Works, we
understand, will make an effort to
collect this money second time
time from these corporations.
Against this we think all good Citi-
ZcnS wilt protest for such an effort
would ia disrcputablc and would re-
fleet upon the good name of the
State, which can better afford to lose
the money. 1t was paid TO the Sec
rotary Of state in good faith and by
virtue otthe custom mentioned. To
force these corporations to pay it
over again would be an outrage
against which every honest man
''i'NI" i'lbNNSb tNcu lIlOuku III ne
conceded that under the law they
can he forced to pay it a second time.
This, however, we imagine, will not
be conceded. From all the Informal
ton we have been able to get in re-
gard to the inside history of this
matter, VIM. T.. Chiffon has been
more sinu,d against than SHINING.
liCand his brothers, Joe and Booker, |
seems 10 hHv" held pretty much ev-
erything in common. They kept,
as we are informed, common bank
account, ON which each drew at lib
crty, and the belief, as we hear, is
general in Charleston that these
brothers got the money for which
the EN-SccrCtarY is now called upon
TO account.
