pa Cor. JOHN BLAIR HoGE.-It
gives us pleasure to state that at the
Democratic and Conservative Senatorial
and Judicial Convention, held at Martins
burg, on Saturday last, Col John Blair
Hoge, of that County, was unanimously
nominated for the Judgeship Of this
Judicial Circuit, composed of the Coun-
ties of Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan.
We venture the assertion that none more
competent and fitting for the position
could have been selected in the District.
He will preside if elected with honor and
dignity to himself and the people. He
is eminently qualified for the RESPONSE
BILE duties characteristic of the office,
and none being more learned in the
law. The office is not a political one,
and should not be regarded as such.
The Martinsburg Statesman says -
The nomination of Col. Jno. b. Hoge
for the position of Judge for this judi
cial circuit was one ''eminently tit TO be
made and will carry with it a sense of
relief to all classes of our people There
is no purer man, none more upright, none
more learned in the law, and none who
will adorn the position with more hon
or to himself and the people than Col.
Hoge.

B9- Coz. JoHS w, GRANTHAM
Grantham was in town on Tuesday last,
and we were exceedingly glad to know
that his health was considerably i'm
proved OIL account of his visit to
Charleston, as q member of the late
Legislature. He was one of the ablest
representatives in that body, and we
trust that the County of Jefferson will
return him to that position again. We
would much rather see him in the Sen
ate, but the nominations for that body
have been made, and the next best of
flee is to return him to the House OF
Delegates, to which we have no doubt
he will be sent. We have no hesitancy
in saying that he can count upon Shep-
herd and Potomac Townships, casting
"solid" votes for him, in preference OF
any other man in the County,
As colleague to Col. Grantham, we
mention the name of Robert \. Duke,
Esq. Mr.. Duke, as well as Mr., G., is a
man of sound practical Judgment, and
would fill the position with honor to
himself and to the citizens Of the Coun,
ty,
The above named gentlemen would
be strong team, and in their delibera-
tons in that body, they would reflect
credit, integrity, honor and standing to
the County.

B4~ S. V. RAILRoAD.-We under
stand that at the meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad Company, which was held III
Charlestown, on Tuesday and Wedncs-
day last, an unusual amount of business
was done, and that every thing connect
ed with the progress and prospects Of
the road is in very satisfactory condi-
ton, except as regards certain right Of
way complications in our own county,
The work in Clarke and Warren is pro
crossing rapidly, and could soon also he
completed through Jefferson, if the way
was only clear COR our Contractors, who
are ready and anxious to increase their
force whenever it can be done without
danger of further impediments.
Amongst other matters attended to
by the Board was, we Learn, the impor-
tant one concerning our direct connec-
ton with Hagerstown, by way Of
Sharp burg, and We are glad to be as
sured that if our Maryland neighbors
will onl " make arrangements along the
proposed route, for right of way, at rea
sonable rates, there will be no difficulty
in having that desirable connection com
pleted without delay. That part Of the
road from Front Royal to Luray is to
be let as soon as the location can be fl
nally made between those two points,
ard corps of Engineers has been or
dered there for the purpose. All the
funds on this months estimates have
been promptly forwarded to the Con
tractors.

gas" REruEILCAS PRESIDENTIAL NoMI-
NArIoS.-On Wednesday Of last week
the Republican Presidential Convention
assembled in Philadelphia and nomlna-
ted General Grant for reelection as
President of the United States, and
Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, for
Vice President The nomination OF
Gen. Grant was unanimous. For Vice
President, the vote on the first ballot
was for Cofax, 32l; for Wilson 364; Nir-
"inia voted for j. +. Lewis. The an
nouncement of the vote OF Pennsylva-
MIA, solid for Wilson, called forth great
cheers; so, also, the vote Of New York
for Colfax. At the close OF the call
Virginia changed her 20 votes to vii.
son, which gave him the nomination.
Several other changes were made, when
Mr.. Lane, of Indiana, moved that Mr..
Wilson's nomination be made unani-
imous, which was agreed to, followed
by great cheering.
Hon. Geo Edwards Of this State was
on the committee of credentials. Col.
John +. Schley of this County was Oh
the committee of permanent organiza-
ton. Col. B. Swami of this State was
on the committee of resolutions. Hon,
ID. ID. Farnswor,h of this State was on
the committee on rules and regulations
Judge Settle of North Carolina presided
rs President of the Convention, and
Gen. ii. H. Bingham, of Philadelphia,
permanent secretary.
After Grant had been renominated-
as per order-a drop scene at the back
of the stage was unrolled, and on
the broad canvas was painted, ''an
equestrian portrait of General Grant. "
full military costume, booted and spur
red.
The song of "John Browns soul is
marching on" was called for and sung
with tremendous effect. every voice of
the thousands joining with and swelling
the martial and inspiring hallelujah
chorus.
Ex-Gov. Pierpoint of this State bolt
ted from the delegation ofWest Virgin
ia, In aspeerh to the delegates, de-
clsring his preferences for Greeley. he
said he had hoped, when selected, with
out solicitation, to come as delegate
to this convention, that there might be
still an opportunity to save the party by
the nomination of an acceptable presi-
dental candidate who would obey the
laws and respect the popular will. But
it is now evidcntthis was hoping against
hope; that this is not meeting for de-
liberation as to the interests Of the re-
publican party or of the country, but a
meeting to obey the exacting demands
of arrogant power, Neither the admo-
nitions of Cincinnati nor of Summer are
needed, and it is resolved to destroy the
organization to CRAFTY mere personal
government. II therefore withdraw
from the delegation, and give you this
timely notice to ill my place, shall
then he free to give my earnest support
to Horace Greeley"

~ LEAvIrr's SWISS BELL RHoERs.
The Concert given by the Bell Ring
ers on Thursday evening of last week,
in the Court House Hall; in this place,
was largely attended, the Hall being full
to overlooking. The music by the or
chestra was all in good taste, and drew
forth words of warmest praise from
conoisseurs in the art. The songs by
MIR. Beckwith called forth rounds of
applause. Mr.. Moores comic pieces
brought tears oflaughter to the eyes,
The music on the bells was beautifully
rendered. Those Evening Bells,
Home, Sweet Home, &c, delighting
all lovers OF Music, while ''Pop goes
the Weasel" caused a smile like
those in the Yankee Sleighride;" but
we feel sure Mr.. Moore had the sympa-
thy of the entire audience when his bell
refused to pop" The cornet solo by
Prof. Bachelor, was especially fine.
''Philander Brown" by Master a. A..
Holbrook was admirably acted, and the
handsome little fellow made very IA
vorable impression upon his hearers.
The final piece "A living lady floating
in the air"-Prof. Ryder's great act of
mesmerism was thrillingly beautiful.
Miss Ida Brummel appeared in mid air
with no visible means of support, caus-
ing great agitation in the audience.
