Takes Recess for Christmas

Judge Wyman adjourned court at
noon ON Saturday, that jurymen, attor1s
eys litigants and witnesses might spend
Christmas at their homes. Work was
resumed at noon to-day, and it is prob
able that most of the cases tried by jury
will be finished by the close of the week.
The term will, without doubt, extend
into next week. In the city case, in which
Geo. w. Stumble sued the municipality
for salary alleged to be due him, after
hearing the plaintiffs testimony Judge
Wyman dismissed the action, stating
that there appeared to be no cause for
action. The history of the case is so
well known that it is unnecessary to re-
peat the facts The Chaseburg mill dam
damage case consumed more time than
any on the calendar Witnesses were
numerous and from nearly every section
Ct the county. In this the jury found
no cause for action. Following cases
disposed of:
Charles E. Ward against Joseph w. Hoyt,
Russell b. Hoyt aud Harry Hoyt.

Town Of Forest Gold Mines.

Mathew Conner of Valley, called very
pleasantly at our Office while in town.
He says that work in the mining in
dustry is beginning to assume a business
aspect ON Charley Eastman's farm. A.
U. Curry has the work in charge and
seems well pleased with the prospect.
First they drilled down and at the depth
of 50 feet struck rock eight feet thick
which asaayed a goodly portion of gold.
They kept on but found nothing better,
SO abandone 1 that method and proceeded
to excavate. The shaft they are sink
ing is eight feet square and they have
reached depth of 35 feet. Mr. Con-
nor is watching with interest the pro-
gress of the operations as he has farm
on the opposite hill in which the strata
of rock correspond exactly with those
where the shaft is being sunk. and is of
the opinion that if there's gold in pay
ing quantities in one there is apt to be
in the other. -Hillshoro Sentry

CHANGE OF CONGRESSMAN

When Congress adjourned on Satur-

Jacob Yost, for the time being, came
to close, but his friends are of the
opinion that he will again be pressed
into public life His retirement is OF
course hailed with delight by the Dem

one is able to say. His successor is
Democrat and Stauntonion, and IN
this particular the honor of being the

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

The approaching election for coun-
ty officers has naturally put a good
many people to thinking and while
many have devoted their thoughts to
the candidates others have been de-
batting a question which contains
many nice points of law. We refer to
that of the voters of Staunton voting
for circuit court clerk and sheriff.
five have been unable to see, in the
brief investigation We have made, any
provision for a circuit court for the
city of Staunton. The Second circuit
is composed of number of counties
and the city Of Petersburg. The
Fourth circuit includes IL number OF
counties and the city of Danville, but
Augusta county is put down in the
Thirteenth, seperate and distinct,
without any mention of Staunton,
while in Rockbridge the city of Bue-
ma Vista is singled out.
We are not fully acquainted with
the laws. if any, bearing on this sub
ject, but it does appear to us that as
no provision is made for our city we
are without circuit court and have
no right to participate in the election
of clerk.
AS for the sheriff we think the case
is plain one. The charter of the city
provides for sergeant, whose duties
shall be the same as those of sheriff
of county, and as we have the ser
geant we do not see any reason for
sheriff. The law further provides, al
we understand it, that elections shal
be held IN the county for the purpose
OF electing sheriff, circuit clerk, etc.
but there is no such provision in ou
Icharter for the election of these OIL
cials. Another view to be taken O
this matter is that when these cleo
tions are held the city could dictate
the officers. Suppose A and B wer'
candidates for circuit clerk and G ant
D for sheriff. A and & might get 20
majority in the county, but if B and l
received 400 majority in the city i
would be the city choosing officers TO
the county. 1t is our opinion that i
this matter were looked into the PEG
pie would find that they haYe been pro
ceeding Illegally. 1t can do no harm tt
Investigate and the SPECTATOR will
gladly give space for a presentment o
further facts. We may ourselves hav
something to say from time to time u
!, this subject.
