Cerkship of the House of Delegates

We announced yesterday that Mr.. DAVIS,
vino has 50 long held the office Of Secretary OF
the Senate, would be a candidate for re-
election at the approaching session. We are
glad 10 learn that Mr.. WN. f. GORDON, Jr.,
late Clerk of the House Of Delegates, is also
willing TO continue in the discharge Of the du-
ties Of that important post, if the House desire
his services. Mr.. 6. is not disposed TO become
q solicitor for an office his competency for
which has been tested, and contents himself
with making known his willingness 10 serve.
His experience and capacity indicate him as
the most suitable man in all the State for the
office, and we take it for granted the House
will with unanimity call him 10 the post.
Most Of the members elect come for the first
time into the business Of legislation, fact
which renders it the more important that their
officers should be acquainted with parliament
Iary usages, and capable ofpromoting the or
derby aud expeditions dispatch Of business.
This consideration, with the fact that Nj. G..
is familiar with the files and records of the Of
fee, that he is q gentleman of the highest in
telligence and worth, possesses splendid
voice and most agreeable manners, places him
above competition for the office.

RICHMOND WING.
Militia

The Gradual withdrawal Of the troops from
the Southern States and the entire disorgani-
zation of the militia of these States, will leave
them defenceless against combinations Of law
less and disorderly persons. In Louisiana,
South Carolina, Mississippi, and some other
States where disorders were aPPrehended, the
several Governors, in pursuance Of authority
vested in them, have provided for the orgsni-
cation Of the militia.
While, thus far, in Virginia, there have been
no outbreaks, there have been grounds for ap-
pretending them in different localities. The
presence Of large Federal force has enabled
our military commanders TO take prompt and
effective measures Of prevention and intimida-
ton. These forces are now rapidly diminish
ing By disarmament, and many points are lelt,
while many more will soon be leN, without
military protection against such contingencies.
Under these circumstances, we would re-
commend TO the people Of any counties or
peivhborhoods which may be threatened, OF IN
WHICH there is reasonable ground for apprehen-
sion, that they apply at once TO the Governor
for authority 10 organize the needfUl militia
force. He will, as he has done promptly in one
instance at least, grant the requisite authority
and send an adjutant or adjutants TO muster in
the officers. This subject should not be lost
sight Of, and we take it upon ourselves 10 say,
from the interest manifested by Governor
PE1EPOIyT in the welfare Of the people Of Nir-
GINA, that in all cases in which necessity ap-
pears, he will authorize and assist in measures
Of precaution and defence.

ton is thus explained The advance in the stock du-
ring late weeks based upon legitimate consdera-
tons has developed large short interest, covering

shares OF the stock issued.
In this oveysOld condition Of the market, bull
