these views, Nand approaching the great
importance of the trust, we are Gratifed to
see that among those mentioned for the
Senatorship Of North Carolina, General
NJ. w. Ransom occupies prominent and
probably the most popular place. 1t is
claimed by his friends, and We have no

questionably a gentleman of high personal
character. g lawyer IL full practice, a
scholar Of tiuo attainmeuts, and enc of the
most polished aud fOrcible public speakers
in his native State. -.
From the beginning to the end Of our
civil war, General Ransom served with
conspicuous galiantry in the Army of Vr-
Si0ia, where he was held in high esteem
by General Lee, who warmly appreciated
his many sterling qualltles Moreover,
General Ransom, IL common with several
other prominent Confederates, since the
war closed, has had his disabilities re-
moved. There is, therefore, no inpedi-
mept to his taking 2 seat in the Senate,
and-l he should b4 tue choice of the Ltgls'
lature of the State, there is every reason
TO believe that he would discharge with
frmuess and conscientious fidelity the
high trusts thus placed IN bis hands.-Bal
