nB- I no ice q card announcing our most
worthy fellow citizen Captain James M. Steu :
art, as q candidate for Mayor. I know of no
one in this community more competent to d s.
charge the duties of that Office, or one in whom
we could repose more confidence.
Under the new constitution of Virginia. the
powers and duties ofthe Mayor are very different
from those heretofore exercised and performed
by that officer, and when we elevate one 10 a
position where he can suspend any city officer
at his. pleasure, it is Of the greatest Importance
that we should select some one Of unbiased
judgment. who will never set up his W opin-
ions and prejudices against an entire communi-
ty, and Who will act only for the general good.
Captain Steuart is a gentleman in whom this
reposes the utmost confidence. he
is known to all Of us as q gallant, generous,
whole. souled, educated gentleman-a friend to
all, rich or poor; and he has justly earned the
distinction of being 1.-The most popular man IN
If Captain Steuart should consent to be q
candidate for Mayor, his election is certain,
and T am confident be would faithfully dis
charge the duties OF the office with great credit
to himself and honor TO the community, and
in uniting with "many friends in calling upon
him to announce himself as q candidate, l
know I but express the wishes Of
an Git b COMMUNITY.

arTHE MAYoRALTY.-I see Captain James
NJ. steuart announced as a suitable candidate
for the Mayoralty in our coming election. l
take tie privilege of endorsing the announce
ment, and in doing so I will say that Captain
Steuart would be 1.-The right man in the right
nlsce." Our new constitution delegates to the
Mayor full power to suspend or remove any
officer of the corporation, whether elected or
appointed, and unless we are careful in our Sc
lection of a chief officer, and choose ono free
from party spirit or prejudice Pre- t = we ms may T. meet meet
TEMPERAMENT, would be suicidal to the peoples
interests and wishes. 1t will be an easy matter
for that officer to trump up charges ana remove I'VE
term of Office would expire. Let us thenf
under these circumstances, select a candidate
who is above such a course, and one who would
not act regardless of the wishes of the people.
Captain Sseuart is o man of acknowledged abil-
ity. 4 popular and esteemed gentleman, fully
qualified for the position, and Is entitled to our
favor.

CONGRESS-. H'r ...
The Senate was engaged 10 debate on Indian
affairs.
The House Of Representatives transacted no
business, speeches on general poIicy occlpying
the whole time.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The case Of Mr.. Segar still hangs in the
House. There seems to be no we'll founded
hope Of his admission. The following is an
epitome OF the views of a majority OF the COM
mittee on elections on the subject :
1.-The returns OF the c.nsus of 1860 show that
the representative population Of the present
State OF Virginia, was a little less than eight
elevenths OF the entire representative popula
ton OF the old State, including the counties
now constituting West Virginia. While, how.
ever, the representative population of counties
constituting tho present State of Virginia
was not quite sufficient to entitle the State to
eight Of the eleven representatives apportioned
t. the old State. it was considerably more than
sufficient to entltIe it TO seven Of them, 80 that
the assignment Of eight to Virginia and three
to West Virginia, was the nearest practicable
approach to an absolutely just distribution OF
the representation.
1t is claimed, however, that certain ordioan-
COS OF the cUDStitutlOnai CONVENTION OlQ pTOVlQe
for a ninth representative, to be elected by the
State at large, and that these ordinances are, to
all intents and purposes, a part of the %constitu.
ton itself.
But neither Of these ordinances was ever sub
mitted to or ratified by the people of Virginia
as a part of the constitution. On the contrary,
by the last section ofthe first, the commanding
general is requested to enforce this ordnance"
and by the last clause of the second, it is or
dained that "tbis ordinance shall be in full
force from its passage, and NAV be altered or
repealed by the legislature" Nor is it posi-
BILE to overlook the suggestive fact that this
convention, instead of dividing the State into
nine congressional districts. prudently divided
it into eight, and provided that tho ninth rep
resentalivc should be chosen by the State at
large.
If Virginia is entitled to immediate repre-
sentation of tho two. fiths of her colored popu.
lation recently added to her basis Of represen-
tation by the fourteenth article of tho amend |
nents to the Constitution of the United States,
without awaiting the next census, 50 also |
is each of the other late Confederate States
and the case of most of them is much stronger
hers, because their proportion Of blacks is
much greater" i
