THE non-election of gentleman who
already had one office, but sought one
he deemed better paying one, moves the
Norfork Landmark mildly to observe that
it puts the Southeast in position to insist
up to the point of positive demand that
the Senatorship shall be bestowed in this
direction. 1t is now or never with us, and
we can not believe that our brethren at
large will make us mere hewers of wood
and drawers Of water for ever and day.

A BILL has been introduced in the
State Senate by Mr.. Kirkpatrick The object
Of which, tits charged, is to convert Lynch
burg into a Democratic city, by specimen
Of unjust and partial legislation. A por-
ton Of the machinery to be used in accom-
plishing the result is said to be new reg
istration before the May election. 1t is not
clearly apparent how new listing of yo-
ters can expunge or destroy an existing
majority such as the Republicans now have
in that city, but the opponents Of Mr.. Kirk
patrick's bill, the same being introduced
by authority Of resolution Of the COM
mon council Of Lynchburg, allege that
such will be its practical effect. Mr..
Kirkpatrick bill also proposes to amend
the charter of the city Of Lynchburg, so
as to place the election of the chief of po-
lice, and of the police force, in the hands
of the city council, instead of allowing
that power to remain in the hands of the
present police board, consisting OF the city
judge, mayor, and city attorney, two of
whom will be Republicans in all proba-
bility after the May elections, and control
tie action OF the board.

COLONEL HUGHES will be confirmed
in day or two. The attempts to prevent
his confirmation by circulating the story
that he is duelist Of murderous instincts
are as futile as they are malicious, mean
and cowardly. Colonel Hughes is man
remarkably gentle, kindly and unobtru-
sive in manner and disposition. He is as
far as possible from professed duelist.
Like some other Republicans of Southern
birth he was singled out rs the object of
most malignant assault, designed to de-
grade and dishonor him, and, through him,
all the class of brave and independent men
whom he represents. II was the design of
the enemies of the national sovereignty
to make it SO odious to sustain tho admin
istration, on the part fanny native Virginian
that he would find life itself a burden. Col.
Hughes met this aggressive and bullying
spirit in the only possible manner to resist
it. He regarded it properly as state of
war, and took the field. In this he repre-
scented principle precisely as Burlingame
did when he went to meet the brutal bully
who struck down Mr.. Sumner, or as Potter
did when he proposed to meet Pryor with
weapons that presaged funeral. This act
Of his life was wholly exceptional and Incl
dental. 1t will not make him less respected
by any opponent of dueling when the cir
cumstances are known. He will certainly
be confirmed soon.
