EX-PREsTDENTJ JOHNSON. learn
from nGeutlemen of GrccneVille that
eX-President johnson has had no
thought of becoming u candidate. fer
Congress, and that all report iiidica-
ting such an intention on his part are
without foundation. Col. Jim White
is the Conservative candidate in the
First District, and RodericlI Random
Butler the Radical candidate-both an
nounced by NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Post.
THE NEW County, We learn that the
vote last Saturday in the territory en-
braced in the proposed county of Chris
tana was largely in the affirmative. So
4" Christiana" Is II fixed fact, with Lou
zion ;ls the county scat. We con gr;itu-
.ate our friend the Representative from
Roaiie, on having engineered the bust
hess to such II successful termination.
EXACTLY To- 1t looks very
much as though Pomeroy. of the La
crosse Democrat, would fill Morrissey's
blaze in Congress. The renowned
shouldcr-hitter's election was not very
creditable to the party, but we fail to
see where Pomeroy would be much OF
an improvement on him.-.H. Louis
