A SUGGESTION.

lT We have no doubt that persons arriving
in the Cars are exceedingly anxious to see
the people who congregate every evening on
the platform at the Depot. It is perfectly
natural that SO large a number Of handsome
men should excite curiosity. But notwith-
staining the evident delight experienced BY
travellers at the sight Of such smiling coli
course, we modestly suggest that it would
be much more agreeable if the platform was
not totally blocked up, and the passengers
prevented almost entirely from getting out
of the Cars. Especially would it be more
pleasant to the ladies if they we're permitted
to 60 to anu from the train, without having
to elbow their way through crowd Of mon
We have noticed ladies almost bewildered
with embarrassment in their attempt to Push
through the crowd to get to the Hotel or an
omnibus. For the sake of The gallantry of
our City, we trust hereafter such scenes will
be dispensed with, and that those who visit
the Depot on the arrival of the Cars, will at
least be considerable enough to leave room
sufficient on the Platform for the ingress and
egress of passengers.

Election.

The day of election is fast approaching.
On next Thursday week, the 24th inst, a
great many aspirants for public favor will
be disappointed. As the time grows nigh,
the excitement and interest in the contest
for the various offices increases. Every
candidate and his friends are industriously
at work and we may safely assume no effort
will be lost for each man to secure his own
success. We have great many clever gen
tlemen in the field, all Of whose wishes we
would like to sec gratifed, but, as it will
be impossible to elect more than one to fill
each office, we can only throw up our new
hat for the successful candidates.

The MIX i'm the Cocoanat.

It is well known to the whole country
that Bright, of Indiana, Slidell, Of Louisi-
ana, and Cocoran, Of the District OF Column
bia, were at Charleston exerting all the
ingenuity Of their intelleets and power OF
their purses to defeat the nomination Of
Douglas, or to break up the Convention. :
The reason these gentlemen took such an
active part against Douglas is thus explain
ed Sometime since they purchased the
Oregon and Washington Territory Indian
War claims, at about 1 5 or 20 cents in the
dollar. Many of them were SO glarlngly
fictitious that Douglas opposed the whole
batch and defeated them. Bright II Co..
know that if he becomes President they will
never get their claims allowed, and hence
they are moving heaven and earth to defeat
his nomination. This iteniaccounts for the
milk in the cocoanut.'

Our temporary editorial substitute, Gen.
Hartman, announced in very modest terms
last week, the appointment of himself by
tie Governor of Virginia to the Office Of
Brigadier General, and that Of Capt. Ken
ton Harper to the position Of Major General
of Militia. A just and well deserved trib.
ute was paid by our sub to the merits end
qualifications of Gen Harper, and the wisdom
displayed by Gov. Letcher in the selection
of a gentleman in every respect SO well suit
ed to the position. All of this and more
we re-assert in relation to Gen. Harper,
whom we esteem to be one of the most perfect
gentlemen aud wise and prudent counsellors
in the State. But we must protest against
the modesty of our sub for the laconic and
rather abrupt manner in which he noticed
himself. If Gov. Letcher deserves praise
for the admirable selection he has made of
the Major General, then he is doubly to be
appreciated for the selection of Gen. Har-
man for the position of B,igadier General.
Gen. Hartman, like Gen. Harper, has seen
service on the tented field, and acquainted
himself by actual experience with the duties
and obligations of the soldier. Although
but youth comparatively, he was one OF
the LieutenantslnC Capt. Harper's volunteer
company in the Mexican war. and won for
himself not only the esteem and friendship
of his fellow soldiers, but the lasting and
endearing friendship of his commanding Of
fcer, Gen. Harper. No man had better
opportunity of seeing and judging Of the
merits of Gen. Hartman, than Gen. Harper
himself during the trying times on the Rio
Grande, and no man now holds his fellow
man in higher regard than does Gen Far
per, the many excellent traits Of character
which mark Gen. Hartman both as agentle.

| Although several communications have

ship, yet not enc of them has the editor pc
rused Indeed, so much has his time been
engrossed by other matters since he was an
nounced as the editor of the paper, that he
has been unable to direct that attention to
the preparation of editorial and other mat
ter, which it is due to our patrons should be
given. The COMMUNICATIONS alluded to
seem to have been continuance Of contro-
versy initiated under the regime of our pre-
decessors, and hence we were the more care
less about their publication. On our arri-
val home the other day we found on our ia
bic two articles -one from 'sa Farmer and
the other ga Countryman'' - which we deem
it impolitic to publish, although comm 6
from gentlemen we highly esteem personal
ly. We cannot see the pertinency of the
remarks Of either to the intrinsic merits OF
the Judicial campaign, nor how in any way,
they can bear, favorabfy or otherwise, up
on the gentlemen who are asking the suf-
frages Of the people. We believe that a
great evil has been inflicted upon the State
by popular judicial elections This We can-
not now remedy; but SO far as is in our pow
err, We shall prevent controversy growing
out Of competition for the exalted position
of Judge, assuming the character Of person
al invective and irrelevant anmadvcrsion.
The popular mind should be kept calm and
undisturbed, prepared to appreciate the i'm
portant question of who shall be Jud &c

idea of accomplishing public good. The
education which naturally follows the sub
mission Of all Offices, State and municipal
Legislative, judicial and executiye-to the
arbitrament Of the popular will expressed at
the ballot boz, is not calculated to prepare
the mind to decide impartially and without
prejudice in the. selection of Judge, and
hence it requires more than ordinary discre-
ton and wisdom to make correct decision.
Such being our views, we shall hereafter
scan carefully communications bearing on
this subject. and publish only those which
may be calculated to induce sober reflection
upon material facts, rather than excite pas
sion. The press. legitimately, is the chan
mel through which to cnlighten the judg-
ment and not inAame prejudice TO encom-
pass the public good, and not to crafty sell
fish ambition A departure from this poll
cy is injurious to public morals and destruc-
tive Of the interests of community.
