There are many candidates in the
field, and l haze heard several others
most favorably mentioned by all the
LAWYERS VINO chance 10 be in attendance
upon Court.
First on the list is Andrew Hunter, Of
lawyer for upwards of fifty years, and is
we'll known to the older citizens of
Wheeling.
Next comes A. c. Snyder, of Green
brier. He has been at the bar some III
teen years, ia in the prime Of life, OF un-
tiring industry, and is Il man of strong
natural power He is said TO have a praC-
tice worth upwards Of $1,000 year, and
has the entire confidence OF his circuit.
Then comes r. G. Green, ofthiS county.
take him to be about tltty-fve He
has been in full practice for thirty years,
and, all things considered be is probably
the abest lawyer in tho State. He IS
said to bea man OF great natural ability,
and il profoundly taught in his profession.
understand he Is the choice at the Jri'
ierson bar.
Then cones Quarrier. Bnggess and
Judge B-anHon, all OF whom stand well
advanced IN that front rank which Is
never crowded. You observe / omit to
mention W. A. Trsvprs. Mr. Lamb ard

day, hu. WIS called away before the day
appointed for the meeting. The result "l

that voluntarily incur the expense and
loss Of time, to give this business their
personal attention. in vacation, IS strong
proof that they are in earnest, and that

Ia this COM ection We would remark,
that ever since the Legislature adjourned
there has been persistent effort, IN GER
tain quarters to decry and make these
Gentlemen invidious. One would think,
from the lnsolent and vindctive attacks
made upon them that they and they
alone aro responsib!- for this prosecution
Tho object being To create an impression
upon the public mind, that this Is per-
suns fight between Good, Mason
aud Hutchinson On one slde
and Burdrtt and Bennett on the
other, whereas nothing could DO more
unjust and without foundation. The
/ House elected these gentlemen To man

against the State officers, Not one O!

severe labor and very considerable "1'

their profession and the reputation 10 BE-
acquired is OF little consequence :" any

return from up the valley. l wish to be
present on the 23i, :" Ms 10 report the de-
bate on ths csplto! case.
