Judge Dayton.

The May term of the Federal court
here began on Tuesday morning last
in the Federal cou.t room. For the
first time in his career Judge Dayton
appeared upon the bench clothed in
the judicial ermine and there were not
a few who climbed the long steps to
the third floor to the court room to see
the new Judge and to see how he
handled himself in his new harness.
The judge, though but a few weeks
on the beuch takes hold OF mattels
with an air o! veteran. HE seemed
decidedly at home upon sthe bench
One OF his first acts has made him ex-
ceedingly popular with both attor-
neys and laymeu and that was
the pubic announcement that he
would MOI hear litigants or their attor-
neyS talk their cases to him i'll pri-
vate, and that he would not hear anv
one on any cas- az any time unles IS
both sides were present or represent
ed. This will be in striking contrast
to the custom OF his predecessor who
was always sutrounder by a crowd of
tawners, sycophants and parasit es
that it is comforting to know will
not be tolerated By the present Judge.
In conversation with one OF the
leading democratic lawyers at the bar
I'VE asked HIM how he sized up Judge
Dayton as Judge. His remark was
"a big improvement. Judge Dayton
will make fine judge IHe grew as a
cougres sman and his mind has more
ola judicial bentlthau for the halls of
Congress. He is a fine lawyer, an hon
esr, sincere mau and as have said he
will grow to be an able judge"

Prof. Waitman Barbe at the Educa-
tional meeting at Hobbs hall on
Monday night made an excellent
speech, told many.of 1.-The defects of
our educational system and gave
remedies. One truth whichlhe stated
was that our country schools are be-
hind the times and stated that one of
the main reasons is III there is not
enough money paid to the Superinten-
dents, the teachers and for buildings
&c though on the 4th of July aud
other special occasions speakers and
editors are given to boast of our great
wealth as state. He stated that if
we are so rich we ought to support
our country schools better and if we
are not we ought to tell the truth.
Prot. Barbe is wise man and one
who knows West Virginia as we'll as
any man within its bounds and we
doubt not could have given a de-
scyiption of the true conditions in the
state had he not feared the displeasure
of some of the political bosses who
ruu the state. He could have told how
rich West Virginia is and yet no y
poor the masses OF her people are. He
could have told how the big corpora
