1t is with feelings Of genuine satisfac-
ton that we to-day place before our read
ers, in connection with conditional candi.
dacy Tor the office Of Circuit Judge the
name OF Hon. John M. Lansden, of this
city. 1t is eminently fit that the Democra-
tic convention to which Mr.. Lansden sub
mits his name, should select the candidates
with an eye to territory as well as to other
considerations, and since the upper portion
OF the district presents the name of Messrs.
Washbun and Browning, the central por-
ton the name of Judge Crawford, it is only
equable and fair that the southern portion
should name its man, and upon no name,
we dare say, would that choice more readily
fall than upon the name Of Hon.
John NJ. Lansden. He has
long been recognized as occupying place
in the forefront Of the bar of Southern
lllinois-becn known as Il lawyer whose
knowledge of the law is based upon
thorough collegiate education; as a man,
indeed, of superior literary as well as legal
dttainmcnts, possessing an admirably dis
ciplincd mind, with an ability to conceive,
to sitt and to weigh, that especially adapts
him for the position he seeks. To these
qualifications add an unimpcachable per
sonal integrity, an unblemished reputation,
and great personal popularity, and you
combine the requisites to a Judge whom
the people would greatly respect and honor
The nomination of Mr.. Lansdcn would
give unbounded satisfaction to all who
know him, and add to our judiciary an up
. right, able and conscientious man.
AS matter poSsessinga certain charm
to the hundreds who were there to note the
occurrences detailed, we present the follow
ing reference to Capt. Boyton's reception in
, this city, which we find IN the Paducah
News Of Monday: "The News reporter
had the honor to be one of the escort
of the young lady who had been chosen to
make the flag presentation. The young
D lady was Miss Fannie Pitcher, charming
4 and yivacious blonde, who acquitted herself
/ most beautifully, and proved herself
. quite n heroine from the very start
Whilst we were getting into the small boat
the bow Of this had drfted under the
guards Of the steamer, and about the time
the little party had become snugly seated,
the great crowd on the steamer
!, made a rush for that side of
the boat and nearly pressed tie yawl
under water. 1t was no use to try to drive
the crowd back. as each man knew that
his individual weight would not make
much difference. Our escape was only eff.
tccted by burying our craft further
in the water TO relieve it from
its perilous situation. The young
lady took the matter quite cody while
several rough spirits would much preferred
to have been on frmcr basis. Reaching
Capt. Boyton, our little party remained
with him to the mouth Of the river. After
the Captain had rugged up his sailing appa.
ratus and sailed around for some time, to
the delight of all, and fired several shots
from his gun, and number of other ma.
neuycrs, he came along side Of our boat to
receive the flag, which was handed over by
Miss Pitcher at the end of a we'll digcsted,
brief and appropriate address, prepared for
the young lady by Mr.. O'Shaughncssy, a
late attache of the editorial staff of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. At the close OF the
young ladys remarks universal shout
Of amen went up, which was vociferated bv
thousands Of tongues ahoat and ashore 1t
was just at 4lj p, IN. that the Captain
crossed the tell tale division line between
the two rivers and was buoyed
by the waters that Gene from
the far of gold lands of the
northwest. Just at this moment, after
several waves Of the flag and cheers from
the crowd, Il skyrockct was sent up by the
Captain, which was responded to by the
whistling of the conveying steamers, and
these by all the steamers at the landing
and all the bells Of the city. Thus ended
Paul Bcyton's voyage Of many hardships
over a distance of nearly 1000 miles on
the Ohio, his undertaking being now but
about half finished, with the worst yet to
come"
