and convicted of RAPE upon lady uoder the

occurring during the j. huence Of chlorotorm.

The Governorship.

We have received a communication re-

the Court of Appeals, as suitable person to
ill the Gubernatorial chair Of this State
The universal sentiment Of the State is that
the Valley section is entitled to the candi.
dscy for the Goverporsbip, and in its jus
tice AID propriety we fully concur. In ad-
diiion to this formidable obstacle to Judge
Moncure's domination, he lab0rs under ie-
IA! disability, that of being Judge OF the
Court Of Appeals, which position be must
vacate Que year previous TO entering on the
Guberna,orial duties. We feel safe 10 say
ing, that Judge Moncure would not resign at
this tine, and moreover it would be very
mistaken policy for his friends now TO urge
his claims Sorry as we should be to lose
Judge N. from the Appeal bench, yet, when
the sectional rotation rule shall again emit.
tie Eastern Virginia to the Gubernatorial
representation, most gladly and willing y
will we press JUICE Moncure's claims to the
highest elective Office in the Safe, since no
man can excel him in all the requisites OF
intelligence, integrity, prudence and that
discriminating administrative ability which
should characterize our Governors. An
honest solicitude for Judge Moncure's future
claims has alone prevented us from insert
ing the communication at this time.-Fred-
