Thomas ]. Niche. Esq.

We find in the last indicator letters address
ed TO Thos J. Niche, Esq, by citizens of Au
gusta, Highland and Pendleton, soliciting him te
become a candidate for the Court of Appeals
and speaking of his personal and professional
merits in terms of just commentator. The fol
lowing is Mr.. Michie's reply:
To THE PEOPLE OF THE THIRD JUDICIAL SEQ
TIoN OF VA.-The Numerous and flattering calls
made upon me from various parts of this Judi
cal Section, to permit my name to be used as @
candidate for the seat on the Bench of the Su
preme Court of Appeals, made vacant by the
death of the lamented Samuels, have received as
they deserved, my anxious consideration, and
use the earliest occasion, after concluding what
duty required, to respond.
do not pretend Indifference to the highest
honor that could crown my professional labors
On the contrary, my heart overtiows with
grateful thanks to the kind and partial friends
who deem me worthy to fill the distinguished
Office in question.
Yet after the most anxious consideration OF
the surrounding circumstances, have concluded
that public duty permits me in this instance to
obey the promptngs OF pricate inclination in
declining the proposed honor.
This course the more readily adopt when |
consider the eminent legal ability which adorns
every part of our section, ready and willing to
incur the labors and responsibilities from which
am disposed to shrink. THos. J. MIoHIE.

The Tariff.

A report from Washington says that the House
Committee of Ways and Means are hopelessly
divided on the subject of the tariff. Mr.. Phelps
the. Chairman, offsrs to the Committee bill in
accordance with the suggestions of the Secreta-
ry Of the Treasury; Morrill,, of Vermont, and
Howard and Davis, of Maryland, present sec.
ond containing the feature of specific duties and
Phillips, of Pennsylvania, introduces third
The other members of the Committee, Messrs
Letcher, Dowdell and Crawford, are said to be
opposed to any change of the tariff at this time
What these gentlemen mean by their opposition
we cannot perceive. With q revenue for the
year ending June 80, 1868, amounting to only
$45,5O0,O0O, and an expenditure for the same
time OF $s1 100000, eked out by borrowing, we
do not see how the Government is to be carried
on, unless the tariff be nodded or the country o.
overwhelmed with debt. "Retrenchment and
reform" is now the cry, and there is, no doubt,
urgent necessity for greater economy; but it is
idle TO suppose that the expenditures can be re-
duced to the present revenue standard.
Washington letter writers state that clear
majority of the House of Representatives are a.
greed not to grant loan of any Sort except
with such change in the tariff as will ensure
the gradual extinction of the debt to be thus Gre
ated. The Democratic majority in the Senate,
on the other hand, are decidedly opposed to any
change, and will stand out to the last. Under
these circumstances there will be q dead lock
In Congress, and an extra session must be called
as soon after the 4th of March as possible.

Admission of Oregon.

Mr.. Zollcofer, of Tennessee, has made an a.
bic report to the House of Representatives, a.
gainst the admission of Oregon into the Union
He opposes the measure chiefly because of the
insuficiency of population in the Territory to
form State, and the recognition of alien suf-
frage in its Consttution-two good and suff-
eient reasons. Upon the latter point he cites
the authority of Mr.. Calhoun, Mr.. Jefferson, Mr..
Madison, the Constitution OF the United States,
and the decision of the Supreme Court in the
bred Scott case. But, says the Baltimore A
merican, "a successful resistance to the admis-
sion of Oregon can hardly be expected. The
Democratic party will not forget its ancient
practice OF abusing power. Oregon will be
forced in, Kansas will be kept out. The Re-
publican party will be enabled to revive the
Kansas quarrel. Sectional excitement will be
resumed. The cry of Southern rights and
Northern aggressions' will be raised. The Dem
ocratic party will be saved. This appears to be
the proprammen

Can't. Ma,tz,s Speech,

The speech delivered by Capt. Hiram Mart
at Rockingham Court, has produced quite sen
sation in the political world. The Richmond
Enquirer does not let it pass unnotced. So fai
as the Captain is concerned, the Enquirer alb
stains from censure; but says, 'if he has beer
induced, through transformation, to make the
unjustifable assault on Gov. Wise, now attribu.
ted to him, the circumstance of bis late visit to
Washington, probably furnishes the best expla-
nation of the fact" Who is there in Washing
ton telling 6bs upon Gov. Wise9-President
Buchanan, Mr.. Hunter or Mr.. Letcher2 All
these high personages, says the Enquirer, know
that the Governor never intrigued, nor even
sought by justi6able means, to supplant Mr..
Hunter in the Senate. As for the "Tammany
letter." Gov. Wise stands to it, and challenges
Mr. Hunter to discuss the matter with him, face
to face, on the Hastings, anywhere and every
where throughout the State. And if it is de-
sired to follow up the contest, "Wise's son" is
ready to meet any respectable man among Hun
ter's followers, on the same terms.
