To the Editor Of tbs Rhis
For our Bext Gosorn0r there has been some talk OF
Hon. Geo. W. Randolph Mr. Randolph weHs into the
service at the beginning Of the war, GaPsin of a
Richmond HoSitzer Company. By gAllantry seconded
BY the bravery OF bis officers and men, in less than one
year. he reese to Bgsdier and thence without solcita
ton, was promoted BY the President to the Cabinet.
As Secretary Of War, Mr.. Randolph was prompt, ef
Rcieut and laborios lie had not been long in that Do
partment until Cartel was made with the enemy undsr
which thousands of our brave exchanged, who
had been long confined in the loathsome abolition pS
ous Besides these many civilians in prison, we're
changed under his management of that Department.
Indeed 1t seemed to be the universal belief that Mr.
Randolph made the War Office what it ought to BE- the
most useful Department in the conduct Of the To
accomplish this Mr. r. abored by day and by nigAt.--
He also did all in his power to aid in the erpu-
sion Of the enemy from soil Under his adj
ministration the battles around Richmond, at Cedar
Run and Manassas were fought He was anxious TO
reeapture Grafton, Of vital Importance to u.s. and
for this object ordered General Lorng to go there
from the KanaWha Valley. No man 10 more de-
voted to the welfare and integrity Of the State, and
none would labor harder to restore her unity and
reignty TO the last inch of her soil Let all YirgnisHs
bear in mind how greatly this consideration Involves
our pride and honor and how much win depend ON the
labor and perseverance Of Governor for its accom-
pshment In fact almost everything in this vital mat
Ter will depend for upon the eIertiens of
Governor, aided by the President between whom sud
Mr.. Randolph nothing has ever OcsoFssd 10 ,imPsIr
friendly personal rSlatOns. -Eaenember hOEmuch Of
our territory N the West the North and the East is
BOW held BY tho enemy and embraced in the State
Just admitted By the Yankee Congress Before negOta-
lions for peace begin, should recover some it We
cannot get all OF this territory. To accomplish this
Mr. Randolph if Governor, would doubtless devote all
Of his energies
For these considerations, and Others that might be
mentioned and without any other authority than the
concurrence of few friends respectfully propose Mr.
Randolph for our Governor. In doing this no dis
paragemeR; is intended of the qualifications of other
gentlemen who have been proposed for the office With
one of those gentenen General Ksmper the writer ia
ven acquainted and is can surpass him in
qualification in incorporating patriotic devotion to
the cause OF Virginia and the Confederacy. -

ELECTION OF g. S SENATOR TO SUCCEED WY.
BALLARD PRESTON

bALLAhD GhhSTUN.
To Tie Bditor Of LEs Whig:
One of the fooeries of Virginia politics within the
last twenty years has been the election of public officials
on the principle Of sectional division Qualification the
oply test which of sense and patriotism ought
gard This test OF sectional residence is claimed
controlling the election ola Confederate States Senator
But if sectional division to be the rule let have an
honest execution of it. See here hoS this silly princi
pie has operated IN the past Governor Letcher, Valley;
Attorney General Tucker Valley; Treasurer Calvert,
Valley Superintendent Peneutiary Blue, Valley; Au
ditOr Thomas Tidewater; Register Land Oce Parker
Tidewater Secretary OF Commonwealth Nunford, Tide
water Second Auditor Thomas Tiewater; Lieutenant
Governor Montague Tidswater; First Auditor Bennett
$4,000 salary Northwest Pententiary Storekeeper
Knote Northwest, Senator Hunter, Tdewater; Pied
mOus Official; Southwest, official. Look again at
this list How has this accumulation of Offices affected
the masses ofthe people towards the State Government
The counties of nearly One-haf of these sleek officials
are represented in the Wheeling Legislature Mr. Ben
nett fr Bur- sfr Kuote ad Mr. FiOmSS are an from
Pierpont's dominons. IL Is grayely proposed to
take Senator Mr.. Russel from this region. Mr.
Russell and Mr. Kidsell had fierce struggle for the
lower House Of Congress and the whole vote poed for
both numbered believe 1874 vOtesl The State Legs
lature has only half dozen members from the North
west the people from that region refusing elect men,
bcrs here but sending them trsOrous assemblage
Wheeling. All this happens after this new policy of
helping State offices Northwestern men had been in
operation for years. The last Western Governor and
the last Western Lieutenant Governor were from the
country which the Wheeling Government rules
refer to Governor johnson and Lieutenant Governor
Jackson The Piedmont has always produced the best
ineects Of the East and the Southwest has done the
same for the West Look to the men who have ruled
the Virginia State councils when measures were the
stake aud you viii find them have come from Pied
mont aud the Southwest But these sections are now
absolutely aud totally prescribed The people ought to
be and shall be awSkenedto this gross outrage. Pier
points region has absorbed the lions share Of Offices
In such times these il Il unsafe TO place men in con-
trolling places the people Of whose residences not in
position of conciding feeling and interest with the
State II the representatives OF the people in the State
Legislature tre with the great interests of the State in
this matter LEI them be held to rigid accountability
Let the best in the State be chosen without regard
residence Bnt If residence il to rule, take him from
Piedmont the Southwest. FAIR PLAY.
