- The Office Of Assessor, willie
seemingly ono Of minor impor-
lance, is in reality an office which
affects the material interests Of tho
citizens moro than any other Office.
Upon the sound Judgment Of tho
Assessor depends the fair and equal
valuation of tho property Of tho
county, and upon his pNinstnking
care depends whether or no all the
property in tho county is listed for
taxation, By The faithful or un.
faithful discharge Of his duty he
affects directly tho pocket Of the
taxpayer. II, therefore, no other
Offices were to be voted for at the
Primary Election, il bohoovos ov-
cry Democrat in :ho county to
turn out on the 26th of August and
sec that irom.the long list Of aspir-
ants for the position, tho worthiest
man is selcctcdsas the Democratic
candidate.

Washington Summers withdrew
from the field, and left the contest
10 our esteemed tVwnsnlan, Hon.
A. A. Lewis, and Hon. Thomas JET
fcrson Farnsworth, Of Upshur

1t WAS ascertaincd before the
votes were counted and announced
that Mr.. FnYnswortl had 4 small
maiority-cnOugh, howcver,t 10 NOM
mute him, when Mr.. Lewis mag
unanimously moved to DECLARE Mr..
Farnsworth the nnmincc by accla-
cation, and 10 made one Of the
hest speeches endorsing Mr., Farms
worth wo hGvo ever heard him
make. While much credit is due
Mr.. Lewis for the strength he de-
aorvcdly displayed in Tic Conyen-
ton, Notwithstanding the rotation
system that has been accepted in
this district, wO heartily endorse
tho nomination Of Mr.. Farnsw0rIlI,
and commend him to the favorable
consideration Of The voters rs Il
sound Democrat, and II gentleman
in every way worthy Of their conf
dcnco aud sutFragcs.
Ills faithful and efficient services

While sincerely regretting the
lefeat Of our townsman at Tho Bev-
crloy Convention, for the position
to which he SO honorably aspircd,
and for which he na,e such 4 gal
liant fight, We desire to congratulate
him aud The host Of friends who
rallied 20 firmly around his stand
ard, and supported him 10 the last.
But for the rule which appears to
have been adopted by the Democ-
racy Of the various counties, in up.
plying the idea Of rotation 10 The
Senatorial nomination, Mr.. Lewis
would certainly havo been our
next Senator. In placing Mr..
FarnswOrth before tho people, the
convention intended simply 10
carry out the principle mentioned
abovc-and not 10 tlefeat Mr.. Lewis.
Even MS il was, Nlr. Lewis came
within so few votes Of gaining the
nomination That the number nee
essary to secure him the honor,
could hayc been counted upon the
fingers If one hand.
Mr.. Lewis, Us q Democrat who
adImres to The usases Of the party,
gives TO the nomination Of Mr..
lfarnswnth his cheerful and hearty
support, In the hour Of defeat, as
well us in the flush Of victory, Mr..
Lewis stands firmly by The DEGREES
al the Democracy.
The evident popularity of Mr.
Lewis in all the counties Of the
District, ensures to lin i'll the moi
far-tIistant future, Il position Of

OF course reports Of political

ties arc not always to DO depended
upon. oyer-sanguino people, in.
terestcd people, andidiots, circu-
late false stories Of gains, But
the Democratic Congressional Com
mitleo here, though apparently
not doing much in the way Of
Campaign work, has all over the
country an exceptionally intclli-
gent corps of correspondents, and
nearly all Of them report favorably
on the prospect. General Walker
has taken special pains TO secure
in each State, and in every itnpor-
tant locality in each State, some
one whose regular reports could DO
relied OIL. Previous experience as
Secretary Of the Congressional
Committee has not only taught
him Tie necessity Of this, but has
enabled him 10 select reliable men.
II any thing is certain in the way
Of politics, the reports to General
Walkers Committee make it Ger.
tain that in every one Of tic United
States, from Maine TO California,
alcre is a stream Of people who
have heretofore yqted the Republi-
can ticket, but who will this fall
vote for Hancock. Itseems, also,
that the young men-tiosc who
this year vote for tic first
time ut Presidential election
are generally for Hancock. They
say they sec no reason why cues
tons buried fifteen years ago
should be even heard Of in our
present politics, 1ftho Committees
letters arc TO be relied on-and l
think they are-the people are tax
ing hold Of the Hancock move
mont for themselves, and will make
it the most remarkable political
success ever known in this country.
The Superintendent Of the Cen
sus is n reform Or Independent Re.

him what it is with Mr.. Hayes or
Secretary sehurz, but, ] believe, is
a reality. In the selection of his
suborllinates lie has been governed

merits of the applicants. ] don't
think my man could to-day pro-
cure a place in the Census Office

Thoimportancc Of this fact is seen

III to-day's issue will ba found
the announcement Of Andrew Ed
mission, Esq, rs u candidate for The
House Of Delegates. While Mr..
Edmiston is late in conscnting 10
become 4 candidate for this posi-
ton, il is not because he las not
been frequently requested and even
importuned to do so, but through
Difference to others who were mcn-
toned for the office, and for whom
he himself entertained loo much
respect 10 cncroaeh upon or come
in conflict with their claims, But
now that these others do not aspire
to the position, and refuse 10 be
cal1dina!cs FOR it. he yields to 4 very
general demand on the part Of his
friends, which has all the time been
pressed upon lIim,antl formally an
nounccs himself as q candidate,
subject 10 the Primary Election Of
his party.
This, we are sure, will give very
general satisfaction throughout the
county. That he is competent and
capable Of disciiarging the duties
devo!ving upon him, if elected, there
can be no doubt, lie is lawyerin
good standing and Of considerable
experience, y son of the county of
whom size has always becn proud
and who with all parties is descrv.
cdly popular. But above all ho is
a fair minded and impartial man
who has the best interests Of our
people at heart.
We state IL simply as fact that
Mr.. Edmiston has not put up IL
canvass in his own interest, but is
brought into the field by the de-
nand Of the people. 1t is a nota-
BILE case in which the Office seeks
tho man,and not the man the office.
We predict for Mr.. L, a strong
turn out and support, not only at
the Primary, but also at the polls
on the 18th day Of October next.
