In the lst (Norfolk) District, Francis Mallory of
Elizabeth City Co., the late ncumbent was some time
since nominated by Harrison Convention as their
candidate. The opposing party have held Conven-
ton, and unanimously determined not to oppose HIM

In the Hid (Chestcrfird) District. John w Jones
the Chairman Of the Committee of Ways and Means
IN the last Congress candidate fol- ano her term
II IS not probable that he will be opposed. Every
county IN the District gave majority for Van Buren,,
ana the whole an aggregate of 66l.
In the lNt tn BrunsWick0 District General GEORGE
Z. Dromgooe, prominent Van Buren, member de-
clines reelection. William o. Goode of Mccklen-
berg, of like politics. has been nominated in his place
John Darling, of Dinwiddie, has announced himself
as wing candidate. The Wings of Mecklenberg
have resolved not TO a candidate probably in
tcipation of two Van Buren, candidates. We have
supposed that such would be the fact and that Hugh
A. Garland, the Clerk Of the last House of Repre-.
senatives, Richard ii. Baptist Of the State Senate,
would be started in opposition but neither has yet been
announced Majority for Van Buren, in the District,
In the With (Cumberlantl0 District John Hill of
Buckingham, the present Harrison incumbent has
been announced for reelection. Colonel Edmund w.
Hubbard, OF the same county, is the candidate of the
opposing party The contest will be spirited and the
result is doubtful The District gave 10 majority for
In the With (CampbelD District, Capt Walter
Coles, of Halifax, the late Van BuIen member offers
and is opposed by Captain Vincent Witcher Of Pitt
syvania on the part of the friends of the present Ad
minisuadon. Inc contest Is about an even one, and
will be zealously fought. Captain Coles has very
heavy battalion in Halifax, but Captain Witchers
Pittsylvania and Campbell companies arc smart ones
These three counties compose the District and gave
majority of 81 for Van Buren,. In 1899, Coles beat
Witchcr 80 votes
In the With (Patrick) District. William l.. Cor
gin, of Bedford, the late Harrison member stands for
another term, and we believe, is opposed by Colonel
Archibald Stuart, of Franklin, Conservative " b
member of the preceding Congress, whom he ousted
in 80 by Isl majority. The chances are decidedly in
favor OF Goggin. Majority for Harrison in the Dis
