ELECTION OE JUDGE OF THE COuRI
OF APPEALS.

We spen, the morning yesterday in the House
OF Delegates, which, with the Senate were GU
gagged in the important duty OF elecllns 'uase
OF he Court of Appeals, in place OF Juose o'ah'
ard, decd. The scene was full OF interest, was
free from unpleasant excitement and DID srea'
credit 10 The harmony and good feeling oil DOM
branches ofthe Legislature. The nominees were
all men OF high character and fine lalents'-id~-
yers of distinction in their respective neighoof-
hood, and each one ofthem would have conferred
honor on the office 10 which their friends laboreo
zealously to elevate Them. The Distinguish
ed gentlemen in nomination were william
Daniel, Esq, Of Lynchburg, sustained oy
Messrs. Sovall of Halifax and Cook OF Roanoke
r. c. L. Moncure Esq OF Stafford, supported py
Mr. Holiday; Judge James Il. Gholson OF re-
lersburg, nominated by Mr.. Syme; James M
White, Esq, oil Piusylvania, sustained by Mr.
Tunsa Jas. Marshall, Esq, ofFred'k, pressed oy
Messrs. Lee and Hunter of Jeffersoni and WIN.
Green, Esq, of Culpeper, whose claims were advo-
Gated by Messrs. Slaughter, STROLLER and ScolI
of Fauqnier. We are free to say that each oil the
nominees was fully worlhy of the high station, and
their respective recommendations were advocated
by their friends in nomination speeches, which
were worthy of the occasion. For The results oil
the various ballolings we refer 10 our Legislative
report. On The first ballot MIR. Daniel led his
comprehension the I'd he received just o'c hdJ
of the whole number Of votes cast. On the Sd
ba Hot The contest was Gas we had previously CAL
culated) narrowed down TO MessTs. Daniel and
Moncure, and il resulted in The election OF Mr..
Daniel by 20 majority. The Judge elect IS loo
well known 10 the people of Virginia, for US TO
add single word in his commentator. He is
universally popular, and we hazard but lille
when we predict that his talents, high character,
energetic and industrious habits will prove him
10 be mos, valuable member of our highest in-
dicial tribunal
We cannot let The occasion pass, without pay
ing a meri,ed tribute TO The high claims of Mr..
Moncure We have known him fer many Yeas.
We admire his rare virtues and eslmabe quail
lies, his firm talents and legal allainmenls, and
his stern, unAnchng Republican principles
Had il pleased The Legislature TO place him on
The bench OF Inc Court oil Appeals, he would have
done honor 10 The station, and the cordial predic-
lions Of his devoted friends would doubtless have
been realized.
The judicial character Of Virginia will beyond
doubt, be we'll represented by The young but able
Judge whom The Legislature have just called
from Lynchburg into The service Of The State.

For The Enquirer

Many distinguished gentlemen have been spo-
ken Of and recommended, for the vacancy short
" 10 occur in the Senate of The United States,
from Virginia, and | know OF no man 10 me
whole Commonwealth better suited TO represent
The interests OF this old State Rights Republican
STATE, than Andrew Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson
in every position in which he has been placed,
either IN his own Stale. in the Congress OF lne
United States, or as Minister 10 Ehs'anu, na1
been The same firm and consistent Republican OF
The slraish,es sect. No eulogy is necessary from
his friends;-hs course in The councils OF me ma
lion is we'll understood by ALL and he would car.

Of character, from his age, and long experience,

Virginia, and would not fail TO promote nel osss
interests II is most sincerely hoped his claims
will be duly considered b. The Virginia Leslsia-

WING aRIJIS y

We have carefully scanned the Wing papers
for the last six months, and we have observed but
taoo cases reported OF The stopping OF factories
on account Of the new Tariff. The one was
saltinet factory in New Jersey-but that failure
was proved 10 have been produced by wild spe-
cula,on in railroad sIocks, independent Of the
Tariff. The other case was thatth Mount Sa-
wage Iron Works in Maryland had been closed,
in consequence OF The "ruinous" Tariff OF 1916.
This, too, is all fable. The Cumberland Civil
liam states, upon unqueslionable authority that
The rumor Of the stoppase OF The Mount Savage
Iron Works is unfounded. Every part Of these
extensive works i, in iu operation and The best
feeling exists between all h parties concerned
The HARMONY now existing rciAccn all parties
interested cannot fail lu secure success. For ihe
week ending on The 5lh OF December, The Two
bias, furnaces turned cut taco hundred and Ten
tons OF pig iron, which is about their usual ave-
rage.

The Alexandria Gazette suggests that il would
have been better for the Wings in the House OF
Representatives, 10 lei MIR. Davis resolution Of
inquiry he passed without debate, and 10 have
The discussion after the Presidents response is
received; for "he President and his advisers have
The views AID arguments OF their political op-
ponens before them, and cam in The response 10
the resolution, accommodate their positions some
what accordingly"
Without stopping to comment upon The I'M
worthy motives SO unius'ly imputed to the con-
stitu,ional authorities OF the land, we refer 10 The
above as broad confession that the Wings have
become utterly sick Of The foolish AMI ridiculous
movemen, Of Garrett Davis the great Wing lead
er of The House.
A letter from a distinguished gentleman in
Washington says:
"Our friends ere well satisfied with the result,
SO far, OF The rash attacks Of The Wings on The
Administration and believe such prccipitancy Of
accusation must recoil."

The Secretary OF War has called upon Lcnsi-
ana for an additional battalion, or FIVE companies
of infantry, Two or three Of which may be orga-
nized as Artillery No doubt it will be promptly
responded to by The patriotic citizens of Louisi-
ana. The N. o. Courier thinks il likely that The
brave veteran, Maj. Galy, will, with his charac-
terslc ardor aud energy, be amorg the foremost
10 offer, once more, his fine corps OF Artillery.

JUDGE OF THE COURT OF APPEAL

JUDGE OF THE COURT OF APPEALS
Yesterdays Wing contains the following CON-
pimen as just as it is liberal, TO The Judge elect.
We have no doubt, that the election OF Judge
Daniel will be popular throughout The State:
"The Legislature yesterday elected, on the Sd
ballot, William Daniel, Jr., Esq, of Lynchburg,
Judge OF The Court Of Appeals. TO supply the
vacancy occasoned BY The death OF Judge Stan

TO THE LEGISLATURE OF VIRGINIA.
To The masler-sririt of William Smith Vir-
ginia was indebted for giving her vote Tor James
X. Polk; and when The Legislature elected him
Governor OF the Stale, we felt proud that Virginia
was adopting the Napoleon principle OF adsan-
cling TO the command those who by their talents,
were most capable, as we'll as most deserving, OF
nromol,op. No man in The Democratic ranks
has equal claims with William Smith 10 be made
United STATES Scnalor-nC man has done m, re
valiant service 10 he party, and at time when
Wing energy anc enthusiasm seemed likely 10
gain The vicory-lhen he was everywhere, and
everywhere carried all before him. The talented
and accomplished Wing orator, William q.
RIves, was as child in his hands. What are
The objections against William Smilh2 lie is
moi genlcel enough or learned enough-book
learned And who are they who raise this cry
Would YOU believe il, Democrats, with Latin on
their tongues, and silk stockings on their feet, who,
because he tailor and the dancing master have
done mole for them, fancy they can onl.shlne me
brilliant and manly talents ol William omilh.
For real sound, hard sense, Smllh IS lar superior
Ia any other candidate that will be brought 10 run
against him. But, forsooth, because ne does mol
pirate Latin or brush his coat as often as some
others, he is not fit 10 60 10 the United States Sc
nae as il there were not sense enough in his
mother tongue without using dead language,
that The great mass OF the people do not under
stand. Away with your Laiin The ancienIs did
not know any thing compared TO what we do; and
YET we must talk Latin 10 look wise, and say
something tina, is not understood. We never
trust man who is afraid 10 speak plain enough

the man of sense one that can srappe with The
mshesl intercts OF The nation, The peoples man
We want The daring, bold and energetic BILLY
Smith" He is the man 10 represent Virginia
in the United States Senate. William Smith
being candidate, we cannot believe that your
honorable body would elect any other. The
election Of William Smith Tor Governor was
proud triumph ol talents and worth, and DID
honor to The Old Dominion. Again we will see
The real and sterling qualities Of the man carry
Governor Smith 10 the Senate OF the United
States; and his election will meet with The decided
approbalion OF the great body of The PEOPLE.

commercial house here Of responsibility, from
source sure 10 b. perfectly well informed in Ha-

a single Mexican lener Of marque had then been
sold IN lha, CRY. The letter asserts moreover,

as The Spanish authorities had declared them
selves mos! explicitly as opposed 10 any such
transactions. We can only repea, that This let
