The Congressional Succession over

The Congressional succession over the
river, in the 10Th Ohio District, is under.
going a. good deal Of discussion in the
local press. So far rs Belmont county is
concerned, there appears to be q general
belief that in the present aspect Of poll.
tics In the district, Nj. BISGHAM IS not
available, while A.nse assert that he gave
positive pledges Two years ago that he
would not entertIIe Held Rgain. Belmont
county lays strong claims to the candl-
date, unl has several gentlemen, either Of
w!un would do credit 70 the position.
Col. PooRxAS, Of. the ChrpntaE, seems to
b. the most prominent Of these; and II
genuine ability, purity Of character. long,
labovious and faithful service in the Re-
publican party give man any claim to
political prefement, we know Of no one
in the county, OF IN the district, who bet
ter deserves the nomination than the
Colonel. A writer in the GAINESVILLE En-.
tsrp'Eas, in q lngthy article on the sub
ject pays Col. PooRNAN u tribute that
