COMMUNICATED,


1Nr. Editor viii you allow me little
sp ace in your paper to second the announces
ment made by "a Member of tho Bar" in
the last Free Press. of Jose ph TrapueM. Esq
as suitable person for Judge Of the Circuit
Court. An intimate acquaintance with MIR.
Trapnell, extending over a long period of
time, warrants the opinion that he is the peer
of any gentleman whose name is put forward
for this Office. l know him to DO an indus
trlous, careful, painstaking business man,
regardless Of applause or condemnation
whether of rich or poor, in the performance
of his duty; besides he is man of quick
perception. and so far as I am capable of
judging, ia exceedingly we'll Informed in his
profession. Mr.. TrapneIl left his native
State (Nlarylaud) and by tho side of Vir-
ginians fought manfully for Virginia, and at
the close of the war cast his lot among hcr
people, has never asked any recognition in
any OF her political prefermonts, and now
that this place for which be is eminently
suited is shortly to be filled, I think it but
fair that he receive an hearty support in the
Judicial Convention. Whilst his qualifsa.
tions, both in his profession and all the ster-
ling attributes of a gentleman are pros
eminent. his elevation to this Office will be
happy recognition of the entire equality we
claim to oxtend to all people who in good
faith come to live with u.s. y

THE CIRCUIT JUDGEsHIP,

A communication in tho Martinsburg
Statesman advocates Col. G. J. Faulkner,
Jr., for election to the Judgeship of this
Circuit, in place of Hon. John BIair Hoge,
nominated for Congress. Col Faulkner is
without doubt talented lawyer, and would
wear the judicial crmine as unsullied as any
man in the district, and could we conceive
the county of Berkeley justly entitled to the
nomination, he would have our most cordial
support. Berkeley county, however, has en-
Joyed the honor of having one of her dis
tin9uished citizens in that position for
series of years, and he having been chosen,
aud that with the cordial support of JefTcr>
SOD county, to be the standard bearer of the
party in the Congressional race, it has never
been conceived by tho people of Jefferson
that Berkeley would interpose straw in the
way of comforting the nomination for the
Judgeship upon member of tho Jefferson
bar. AS the card in the Statesman is SIM
ply in favor of Col. Faulkner, and does not
appear over his own namo, we take it for
granted that he will promptly decline in
favor of a candidate from this county. The
following paragraph, from communication
to the Free Press, undoubtedly expresses
the true sentiments of vast number of the
Democrats of this county. Says tho writer:
"We have taken pains to ascertain the
sentiments of our people upon this subject,
and have heard but one expression: that we
are entitled to the Judgeship; that it is
very unneighborly return for past support
that this right should be disputed, and that
1t is our duty to make known cur wish to the
other counties of this circuit, with plainness
and fairness, and ask if it is fair and right
that our one thousand Democratic majority
is always to be used for their promotion in
stead of our own. We can then see whether
they are willing to deal fairly with US; if not
1t Is for us to decide whether VIC shall for
ever remain their "hewers and drawers" or
whether We shall put forward a candidate of
our own and support him irrespective of tho
result From the present bitter and indig~
nant tone of feeling among our people it is
easy to see what will be the course taken"

ALABAMA IN THE VANGUARD.

The first gun of the campaign has been
fred, and its effect is appalling to the Re-
Republicans. The victory in Alabama is
overwhelming. The Democrats have carried
every county in the State, elected nearly all
their candidates for both branches of the
legislature, and piled up majority of up.
wards of 10000 for their State ticket over
the combined vote of the Republicans and
Greenbackers. This State, it was claimed
by the Republicans and Greenbackers, would
be lost to the Democrats, and every effort
has been put forth by the opposing factions
to make the prediction certain. With such
efforts and such route. in tho first encoun-
ter, what have the De Golyer Garfield fol>
lowers to hope for when the baltic is opened
all along the line?

Among the rising young lawyers of West
Virginia, mono give more promise of future
distinction than our young friend, j. Barton
Payne, of Kingwood, Preston county. En-
dowed naturally with abilities of high or
der, he has in addition, fine intellectual at,
tainments, coupled with great energy. That
he is bound to command success, there is no
doubt; and that the future of the Demo
cratic party is in the hands of such Young
men is cause of cougratulaton.
The above, from the Statesman, meets
our hearty endorsement and approval Mr..
Payne is second to no man in the State of
his ago. He is the leader of the young
Democracy, and carries into politics a fine
sense of good faith, moral obligation and
decision of character, which we'll qualify him
for leader.

HON. JAMES q. GROVE.
from the M.ftinsburg Independent.

tFrom the Mart!nsburg Independently
Editors Independents Will you give space
to the following resolutions, passed by the
working mon of Baltimore city April z,
1865. They evidence the loyalty Of that
gifted orator and splendid lawyer, the Hon.
James "a. Grove, to the interests of the
laboring man. at the time he held the most
distinguished place in the Senate of Mary
land, and at time, too, when labor needed
friends to advocate their cause. We believe
him to be the same firm friend to day, and
we wish in some way to express our admira-
tlon in tangible form. We recognize in
him the poor msns friend; man of honor,
of generosity and nobleness of character,
which challenges our respect, and his great
talents fitting him for any position, appeals
to our judgment. We now call upon him
to be our Judge in this circuit. knowing the
scales of justice can fall in no safer or ADLER
hands, and we pledge him our support irre>
spectiye of party.
Laboring men read the following copy of
the resolutions taken from the minutes of
the proceedings of the Tin Can Association
of Baltimore, and sent US by Louis A. Ja>
mart, President:
ReSolved, That the Baltimore Can Ma
kers' Association return their sincere thanks
to the Hon. James Il. Grove for the manly
aud able manner in which be espoused our
cause in the Senate aud opposed convict

tailed upon US debt of gratitude that VIC are
but too anxious to repay, and which we
pledge ourselves. individually and collect,

The nomination of Judge John Blair
Hoge, III the Second West Virginia Con-

by his friends and admirers in both States

tltude for State affairs cannot fail to win

their just reward in the esteem and affection

OF his competitors, the Hon. D. B. Lucas. we
doubt not that West Virginia has yet in store
