In the LIST (Norfblk) District, Francis Mallory of
Elizabeth City Co., the late incumbent was some time
since nominated by Harrison Convention their
candidate. The opposing party have held Conyen-
tlon and unanimously determined not to oppose HIM
the District being against them, and DR.. Mallory hav
ing taken rather Independent position. The Dis

In the lid (Sussex) District, Francis E. Rives, the
present Van Buren, Member, retires and George b.
Cary of Southampton, has been selected by Conven
ton of that party as his successor. Mr. Cary has
never been in public life. Robert R. Collier of Peters
burg the chance of contestng his election
on the Harrison interest. The District gave ma
jority Of sos for Van Buren, s#..
In the Hid (Chesterfcd) District John w. Jones,
the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means
in the last Congress- is candidate fol another term

In the WITH (Brunswick) District General George
70. Dromgoole, prominent Van Buren, member, de-
cllnes reelection. William O. Goode, of Mecklen-
berg Of like politics, has been nominated in his place
John Darling, Of Dinwiddie has announced himself
as wing candidate. The Wings of Meckenberg
have resolved not TO run candidate, probably in an

supposed that such would be the fact and that Hugh
A. Garland, the Clerk of the last House of Repre-,
sentatipas Richard H. Baptist or De State Senate
would be started in opposition, but neither has yet been
announced. Majority for Van Buren, in the District
1868. .
In the With (CumberlandD District, John Hill, OF
Buckingham, the present Harrison incumbent, has
been announced for reelection Colonel Edmund w
Hubbard of the county, is the candidate Of the
opposing party. The contest will be spirited and the
result is doubtful The District gave 1l3 majority for
Van Buren,.
In the With (Campbel) District, Capt Walter
Coles, of Halifax, the late Van Buren, member offers
and is opposed by Captain Vincent Witcher of Pitt
yvanla, on the part oil the friends oil the present Ad-
ministration. The contest is about one, and
will be zealously fought. Captain Coles has very
heavy battalion in Halifax, but Captain Witcher's
Pittsylyana and Campbell companies are smart ones
These three counties compose the District and gave
majority of 81 for Van Buren, In 1889, Coles beat
Witcher SO votes. --a .....

ein, of Bedford the late Harrison member, stands for
another term, and, believe, is opposed by Colonel

favor of Goggin. Majority for Harrison in the Dis
trict, COS.
