not sec them. Whether Vsrona's declar.

possible to say at this time. He has been
imprisoned heretofore as saspectO, but
in this case he figures as a witness for

MIR. HRNRY s. WALKER has sold out
his interest in the Charleston Courier and
retired from the newspaper business. We
are not posted as to his future programme,
but understand thathe will probably take
an active part in the Democratic canvass
this summer. He has hadsn eventtul but
certainly not an enviable editorial career.
HIS style Journalism was one that in the
nature Of thisgs was bound to wear itself
out. A man may slash away very lively
for awhile in the way of promiscuous
abuse OF opponents, but reaction is Ger.
tain TO follow sooner or later. To be q
successful caustic critic an editor needs to
be beyond criticism himself When the
joints Of his armor are as weak and pen.
etrable as were those Of Mr.. WALKER he
plays the excoristion role to very poor
advantage. This unhappily was Mr.
WALKER's trouble. he had real talents
as an editor, but he habltually perverted
them.

Republican Congressional COmmitte,

nepuuhUuu OUuB uBlGb1lOuul OOnAltko0
A few days ago we published q com.
munication from Moundsville In regard
to the propriety OF calling a Republican
Congressional Convention in this District
at an early day, and also raising an In
quiry as 10 where the power Is OF present
vested 10 call such Convention. We
find by turning to the fleH Of this paper
for July Goth, 1879, that q meeting took
place in this city, on the day previous, Of
certain delegates to q Congressional Con.
vention, who named the following gen.
tlemen as Congressional Committee and
empowered them to call an adjourned
Convention in case they saw proper, viz:
r. n. COCHRAN and E. W. PAXTON, ol
Wheeling; F. A. ROBINSON, Of ClarkSburgi
GEORGE EDWARDS, Of Moundsyillc, and
Q. @. CoLB, Of ParkOrsburg. As no Con-
vention was called that year, and as none
has been held since, II Is believed that
the Committee appointed in 1872 still
lives and possesses authority to act
whenever 1t sees proper. We would say,
however, that Judge COCHRAN, after his
election as Judge, resigned his place on
the Committee, as he did also on the State
Executive Committee, and therefore there
is q vacancy TO be filled whenever the
Committee meets. Asto the necessity
or propriety Of meeting, the gentlemen
composing the Committee can Judge for
themselves. They arc familiar with the
situation Of political sffAirs in this District
and perhaps can make up their minds
promptly as to what steps they should
take in the matter of a Congressional
nomination. We have already expressed
ourselves in favor Of united action on the
part Of Republicans and Independent
Democrats. And inasmuch as the Re
publicans aided largely and chiefly in the
election oil Mr.. DAVIS, Democrat, in
1872, it would seem nothing more than
reciprocal that Republican should be
supported by both parties this time
There is really no issue 10 keep apart
those who co.operated SO successfully two
years ago. Let them unite again and
elect some good man to Congress. =
