On the 18th inst, the Republicans |
Of this Congressional District, meet in
Convention, at Hydepark to nominate
a candidate for member of Congress,
to be supported at the ensuing elect
ion. We need not assure the readers
of the Transcript, that this convention
is one of great Importance. The ac-
ton of the last Congress conclusively
nroyes that we should have legislators,
who are not inclined to be extrava-

than they are with their own. The
choice of such a man is demanded by.
the people of this District, and the
people ought to be willing to take the
matter out of the hands of "wire pull
lers," and politicians. A number of
gentlemen have been named for the
position, either of whom would do
credit to the District; but, all things
considered we do not hesitate to ex-
press our decided preference for our
townsman, the Hon. Romeo ii. Hoyt.
At this particular time in our national
history, great financial attainments,
combined with fair legal abilities and
good forensic powers, should be the
necessary qualifications for member
of Congress. Judge Hoyt possesses
all these, in an eminent degree. He
is emphatically "a peoples man" ane

the people, and not those Of any clique

From the st. Atbans Messem ger.

Judge Hoyt possesses many quail
ications for the position for which he
is presented. He has been of service
in the State, and his character as a
just and honorable man is known and
appreciated; and in the event of his
nomination by tn e convention, he
would receive the hearty support OF
Franklin County.

HOOP SKiRTs IN 17S1-In the November
number of the Cumberland Magazine for
1881, We lind petition which a friend in
North Carolina has sent IT'S, addressed by one
Timothy Hatehoops and other DANGERS, by the
editor, complaining of the ladies hoops,
which deprived them of the privilege of as
sistlng their fair companions with their arms,
owing to the vast extension Of their petit
coats. The petition Italics that in the streets
tho sidewalk is barely wide enough for well
dressed lady, and that the petitioners are
obliged to walk in the dirt, to the great detri
ment of their white stockings, which became
marked by the repeated blows from the hoops
whenever they presumed to approach one of
these monstrous machines. Even in church,
the petitioners say, they are not exempt from
grievance attending the provoking petticoats--
the large space they occupy preventing free
circulation of the air, which, in summer,
was very detrimental to their health. They
conclude their petition by requesting the edi-
tor to order the ladies to unhoop themselves
and wear their former convenient pettcoats.
Editors seem to have been possessed of more
authority in 1881, than in 1866-for the edi-
tor replies that, if the petitioners will cease
to wear their large hats which if the ladies
were to unhoop themselves, would allow the
gentlemen to come along side and thus en-
danger the ladies' eyes, the editor will recon-
mend the conditional proposal to the ladies,
but that at present he considers the hoop pet
ticoat a very ingenious, equitable and neces-
sary retaliation for the gentleman's chapeau
la mode. SO that while hoop skirts prevailed
in 1881, we also learn that large hats were
worn by the gentlemen-which however, is
the opposite of the present fashion, and cannot
be used as a compromise, as proposed in 1881,
in agreeing to discontinue the use of hoops
and big hats

FERRY oDATIoNs.-Several young
men, DESTROYS of establishing th if relation
ship with Portsmouth upon more intimate
and lasting basis, are greatly Inconvenience
by the failure of the ferry boats to run at a
later hour at night than they do. Some OF
them after visiting the attractive ladies OF
their acquaintance on the other side of the
river, were forced to wait till two clock the
other morning before foot boat could be
found to bring them to the Norfolk side.
The only practical remedy for the
grievance which suggests itself, is for the
Portsmouth ladies' to hold a "town meeting"
and int rest the accommodating Supernten-
dent of the ferry in behalf of these young men,
so that the prospects, which seem encourag
ing, may not be endangered by the inconve-
nience to which their admirers are subjected
and, which, unless remeded, may result in an
abandonment Of ''the line
