Wifhers Triumphant.
The news from Richmond up to half-past
O'Clock to-day is that The caucus hbors
have come to conclusion by the selection
of Colonel Robert E. Withers as United
States senator.
This yerifies the prediction made by the
Dan. Book during the late election for Gov
ernor in this State when we announced Inc
programme of the Conservative party in the
event of their success.
Colonel Withers is deserving OF this elec'
ton from the Conservative party, for Whlch
he has made frequent concessions OF rathei
notifying nature; and as he IS gallant
man and a gentleman, we are glad ne mas
been selected, and hope he may speedily put
himself in such accord with the AdmInlstra-
ton as to be benefit to his native State.
Now look out for the election OF Pulaski
Walker General James) as Lieutenant-GoV-
ernor.
From the Lynchburg News.]
Robert e. WtIhers.
We do not exut too much when we say
that the Virginia Legislature covered itsell
with glory on Tuesday in the election Of
Lieutenant. Governor Withers to the high
and honorable position of United States
senator-worthy shoulders to bear the man
tie of that long list of illustrious predeces-
sors who were wont in the olden time to re-
present the mother Of States and statesmen
in the national councils.
In honoring such man the Virginia LIE
eislature have honored themselves-have
truly represented the sentiments OF nine
tenths of the people of Virginia.
(From the Lynchburg yirginlan.]
Colonel Robert E. Withers has received
the nomination Of the Conservative party
and is therefore to be the successor of Johr
+. Lewis. Colonel Witbers, in all the rela
tons of life, is q model man.
Colonel Witbers never before held AM
public office, but always took an actiy,
part in politics, and when young mai
was frequently called upon to make speeche:
for his party. He is fluent, forcible, ant
agreeable speaker. Chiralric, brave, honest
and sincere, he will doubtless win the respec
and confidence Of bis future associates il
the Senate. and reflect credit on the State
that he will in part represent in the highes
legislative assembly of the land:
From tic Lynchburg Republican,
Lieutenant Governor Withers NonI
mated for United States Senator.
Among the names which were mentioned
in connection with the senatorShip we art
frank to say there were one or two upor
whom we should. EaYe preferred the choice
to have fallen, but are well satisfied that ir
Lieutenant Governor Withers we will have
representative ia the first council OF the
nation who will do full honor to his State
and whose every effort, while comprehen
siye enough to embrace the general interests
of the country, will be, directed specially to
the glory and renoWn of his native State.
Whatever difference of opinions may have
existed as to the choice Of men, all of whom
were good and true, it is a matter of sincere
qualification that we have thus secured q
senator who will truly represent the people
of Virginia, and that we will soon be re.
leved of Mir. Lewis, who has ever proved
false and untrue to the great interests of MS
State and section. .-
For all of which let the, Lord be praised.
