In view of the fact that the present Sec
rotary of the Navy, Hon. Nathan Con,
will remain in the Cabinet-a proper
tribute to the STATE of West Virginia
there is complimentary pleasant certain
" that the office NOW vacated-that OF
the United States district attorney OF
West Virginia--will be rendered Mr..
James d. Butt of lIarpcr's Ferry.
This gentleman is we'll known in official
and social circles in our city, and both
popular and esteemed by reason of his
Keen intelligence as a lawyer and his at
tributes "a gentleman. He has won his
reputation and right to the acknowledge
ment of both characteristics by Ills innate
ability and expressed quality of charac-
ter. As lawyer he combines brains
with assiduity and energy, and as gen
Reman lie wears the title to the name in
his manner and gracefulncss Of charac-
ter.-Washington Capital.
ED~ The above, from the Washing
ton Capital is q strong recommends
ton, but none more 80 than Mr.. B. de-
serves. lie has earned for himself, by
bis industry and talents, wide reputa-
ton as a lawyer, aud stands high in the
legal profession, and more more SO for
one of his age. His devotion to friends
of all political shades,to whom he is ever
ready to lend helping hand, and even
TO his political opponents, has caused
him to become universally popular.
His earnest efforts in behalf of his own
party, without forgetting the fairness
due his opponents, and his standing
with both political parties of the State,
and like Gen. Guf, native of this
State aud interested in her people, fits
him for the position named. His fair
ness in all matters have won for himself
the respect aud admiration of the dem
ocratic lawyers Of the State. His alta
bic manners and friendly and courteous
disposition have also won many true
and abiding friends. His earnest ct
Brls hicL he made in behalf OF getting
this State delegation for Blaine, by biz
prominence in the Wheeling convention
last May, have put him prominent in
this State before the Republican party
All these admirable traits, with which
Mr.. 3. is eminen,ly endowed, fully
qualities him for the responsible aud
prominent position of U. S. District AT
,orney for West Virginia, and his Sc
lection as such by the President would
he hailed with pleasure by the people
of our State, irrespective of party.

BE- We publish in our Issue of to-
day communication commenting upon
the power and wealth of Railroads. In
der the light thrown upon this subject
by our correspondent we confess there
is seeming danger ahead, unless the
people combine to check the power and
Influence which those giant corpora
tons do and will continue to exercise.
This wealth and power is centraliz;ng.
We see that the United States Auditor
of Railroad accounts asserts that their
net earnings for the year of 1850 has
increased over II per cent. At this "a
ito it will require only 5 or years for
them to double their wealth. Pooling

The other day when GUITEAU
raised hullabsloo 10 court, Justice
Cox quie.ed him by remarking that
the trial could go en- without
his presence 10 the court room. Now
the query might be put, why can't he
be hung and the trial proceeded with
afterwards? This will be his end ulti-
nately and as the trial is simply to
develop the facts in the case and not
for the purpose of acquitting him of
the murder with which he is charged,
1t might as we'll be done as we sug-
gest aud the suspense done away with.
We believe the people generally would
sanction such o course.
