The LEGISLATURE has done nothing
since the holidays but elect county
judges. In some instances the judges
elected are incompetent and unfit TO
perform the duties Of the Office. The
gravest charges, d.unkeness, dishonesty
and moral unftness generally have been
publically made against some Of the
caucus nominees. A few Of the more
homes. readjusters have refused to be
bound by the action Of their caucus and
have voted with the flinders to postpone
the election Of the judges, against
whom charges have been preferred, I'M
titan Investigation can be had. The
election Of some of the readjuster's
caucus nominees will be q disgrace 10

minority so small tina: it will never

tor Rlddleberger,of Shenandoah coun-
ty, one of the leading readjusters, re-
tired from the caucus of his party last
night and refused to be boand by it:
dictates in tie nomination of a Judge
of Louisa county, who is charged with
incompetency. This matter elected
heated discussions in the Senate to
day and resulted in Mr.. Riddleber-
gers carrying bis point to postpone
the election of the Louisa judgeshiT
until the 10Th inst, in order to allow
time FIR the competency Of the read
justers' nominee to be investigated
This Senator, as well as others of BIZ
party, insists that none but mer
against whom nothing can be charged
shall be chosen for the Judiciary.
It is understood that Mr., Riddlcber
ger will not resume relations with the
readjustcrs' caucus again until the
debt question shall come up. His ten
parary severance OF his connection
with his party caucus causes consider

RIDDLEBERGER AND PAUL,-The
course pursued 10y Riddlebergor in ref.
erence to the nomination and election
of County Judges, contrasts favorably
with that Of Paul and other Readjusters.
Riddleberger has opposed the nomina-
lion of several against whom there were
valid and strong objections, such as in
competency, vicious habits. dishonest
characters, &C., but who were support
ed by Paul and most OF the othe- Read
ilstcrs. The caucus nominated o. W.

the Senator and both Delegates from
that county say
we state distinctly that the SAID o.
W. Pur,is, from bis early manhood has
been regarded as a dishonest, corrupt,
fraudulent and unt:uthlsl man, and IN
der no circumstances could he be elect
ed to any Office in the gift Of the people
OF Albcnarle."
Paul is reported to have declared
these trivial charges" aud insisted
on the election OF Purvis without delay.

THE ELECTION OF JUDGES WHAT
THE PRESS SAYS.

In the House yesterday Mr.. Duke
offered resolution for the appoint
ment of committee Of that body 70
investigate the character Of Mr.. 0.
w. Puryie, the Readjuster nomi.
nee for judge Of Albemarle.
\ Joint resolution ofsimilar i'm
port adopted by the House on Tues
day was defeated in the Senate.
And thereupon lIr. Purvis wrote a
letter to Speaker Lacy urging that
the House appoint committee Of
investigation from its own body.
So yesterday morning Mr. Duke
offered the resolution mentioned.
His colleague, but political oppo-
nent OIr. Michie), made an earnest
and manly speech in support Of the
resolution.
Mr.. Frazier, the recognized lead
er of the Readjustcrs on the floor of
the House, spoke against it; so did
Mr.. Bailey; but they failed to carry
their party with them. They had
lost their grip. There was a break
Of their heretofore solid ranks. The
resolution was adopted-a number
of Readjustcrs voting with the
Debt-Payers- and the committee
was appointed as ordered
TIE CHARGES AGAINST Mr.. BOSWELL.
A little later charges were pre-
ftrred against Mr.. Boswell, the Re-
adjusters nominee for judge Of "aI-
fax county, and the Readjusters
were again divided among them
selves. The complainant, Mr.. Pal
mer, Conservative asked for a COM
mittee OF investigation. The Read
iusters, led by Mr. Vale, wished
the matter to be left in the hands OF
the caucus committee which has
been appointed to investigate all
charges preferred. That was the
course they also desired the Purvis
investigation sto take. The sub
icct was under discussion and get
ting greatly tangled when-oh, hap
by relict-a resolution came from
the Senate that that body had pass
ed a resolution postponing the cleo
tons for a number Of counties-in-

colt N SENATE.

There was another bolt in the
Senate yesterday from the caucus
norninee-notably in the case Of the
counties Of Mcklenburg and Frank
lin, in both of which cases the cleo
tions were postponed. Mr.. Will
cox, well-known Readjuster, who
says that he desires 10 purge the
party, so far as its ofioc-hOlders
are concerned, of all Improper
PERSONS presented the resolution
to postpone the election for Neck
lenburg county, and declared that
he void not stultify himself as man
and a Virginian by voting for a per-
son who was not worthy and com
petent, and who does not come up
to his idea of the requirements Of
the office. The resolution to post
pone Mecklenburg, while it was not
unexpected to some of the Read
justers, was warmly opposed by
Mcssrs. Fulkerson, Davis, and 9th.
ers. The latter senator, who spoke
against procrastination, was COM
mittcd, Mr.. Wilcox said, to vote
for postponement, and when the
roll was called did so vote. Mr.
Riddlebeyger, who had made warm
fight in the caucus against cover
whelming numbers on Tuesday
night, voted with Mr.. Wilcox, anC
it was mainly through his instru
mentality that he carried his poin'
ior a postponcment.
The Conservatives kept the ever
tenor Of their way, andas Mr.. Will
cox seemed so anxious to have an
other tusslc in the caucus in behal
Of his candidate, they voted witt
| him in order that his wishes nigh
be gratifed. In the case Of North
CUMBERLAND and Lancaster, after the
House had agreed to postpone. thu
Senete Conservatives were divided
and Mr.. Mayo's motion to concur
in the House resolution failed to car
| ry.
The rest of tine days proceedings
so far as the election of county
Judges was concerned, was plain
sailing.
READJUsTERs CAUCUS
The Readjusters met in caucus
in the Senate chamber last night.
The situation was regarded as
grave.
When it comes 10 this that 'fhe
boys" of the House refuse to follow
Mr.. Frazier las they did in the Pur-
Wis case) things cannot be regarded
as otherwise thon serious. As a
distinguished Readjuster senator
said last night. GAS long as the
charges against our nominees came
from the Funders we were all right.

The caucus sessions for the last

the forefront, protesting, rcmonstra-
ting, pleading, and fighting against
the nomination Of the incompetent
and bad men. His efforts, while
not wholly successful, have beer
