The Lenisldture.

The Democratic Caucus of Members OF
the Legislature on Tuesday night nominated
for President Of the Senate A. E. Summers,
of Kanawha, and for Speaker Of the House
of Delegates f. Wilson, of Kanawha. \
dispatch to the Baltimore Sun says:
Il was expected that the vote in caucus
would indicate the strength of the respec-
tive candidates for the senatorship, but there
was no contest on the speakership, and the
chances of the various gentlemen are still
subjects for speculation. The third con-
gressional district has bagged the lions
share of the Offices in both branches, and
though that district also presents two can
didates for the senatorship. Gov. H. NJ.
Mathews and Senator Frank Hereford, there
seems to be general opinion that it has
got all il Is entitled to. The leading candi-
date from present appearances, is J. y.
Camden. of Parkcrsburg, whose friends are
here in force and working actively. Judge
Brannon has also numerous friends, and II
is probable that the contest will narrow
down TO these two. unless new men are
brought forward The election will take
place on the 18th instant.

The present campaign in Virginia
appears to partake much of the charac-
ter of a pistols for two and coffee for
one" sort Of an entertainment. Not
succeeding 50 well as they expected in
| convincing the inhabitants of the old
dominion of their inherent right to rule
the Democratic leaders. fall back on the
ancient doctrine Of might makes right,
hoping that the laconicism of Bonaparte
will stand them in good stead and the
gods of political battles prove to be on
! the side that has the heaviest artillery.
Whatever may be the inward musing
of the Bourbon breast or the cause for the
recent change of base, this is the first
legitimate campaign for many years
when artillery has been made to take
the place of argument or the duelling
pistol replace the stump orator,
To adjourn from the hastings to the
duelling ground as appears TO be the line
of policy marked out by the Democrats
of Virginia brings wildly to mind ante
beH5am days with its ghostly pros ssion Of
victims, whose lives went out or so
called fields of honor when The bully
took the place of the statesman and
logic succumbed to hair triggers.
fhe revival will hardly meet with that
favor that its advocates fordly imagine.
The cool, matter of fact blood OF the
latter half of the nineteenth century
has little sympathy with the bravo
methods of two centuries ago. The
disuse into which the practice has fall
len of late years shows itself in the
wild Workmanship that has been a
notable feature of the few meetings
that have so far taken place on the
sacred soil of the old dominion. Unless
TINS IS much improved the farcical ma
ture of the proceedings will result OF
themselves in putting an extnguishel
to this fool play.

public opinion that forced the masked

With this still in mind, the present at
