The SEVENTH DIsIRICT.-Mr. PAUL, it is
said, still draws pay as a congressman, not
having qualified as Judge Of the United
states District Court for the Western dis.
trict OF Virginia. 1t looks as il Mr.. PAUL
intended not to resign until after the spring
election, thus throwing the election OF his
successor over until November.
The proper course for Governor CANE
RON TO pursue would be to leave the con-
test where 1t belongs-in the House OF
Representatives. Mr.. PAUL has no right
TO resign Judge O'FERRALL's title 20 the
seat; but Governor CAMERON, in ordering
a new election, II he should order one,
would assume that PAUL. and not
VFERRALI, was the rightful claimant
OF the contested seat. II the House of Re
representatives. sbaii decide that Colonel
OFERRArL was elected last fall. the new
will go for nothing. The Com.
mon"ealth and the candidates will have
been put to a useless expense. In a siml-
lar case. Governor KEMPER, declined q
order a special election before the House
Of Delegates Of Virginia had passed upou
the contest

As for Mr.. Sullivan, the new president, |
believe him the best choice that could have

Neither could Father Walsh take II.
AS for the future OF the League,
its aim will continue the same as in
the past. We seek 10 augment our
membership and raise as much money as
possible. One new feature that | think
will be made in this years work will be
the establishment Of a literary bureau to

the cause, TO correct false reports. &c.
The reorganization under the new con-

SAMUEL j. RANDALL.-No man living de-
serves more at the hands OF the Democratic

OF the South. When the whole influence OF
the Government was invoked TO secure the
passage of the force bill this brave, COOL

defeated that infamous measure. The

that they will not enploy such person, it is
