The BAR ASSOCIATIONS ACTION.

No one can De more e1ac'iDg OF mem
Der of any profession than the brother
members of that profession. A lawyer
Judges lawyer most severely, and doctor
doctor, and none are more capable of
passing judgment than they. For this
reason it is that the recommendations Of
members Of such professions coming from
those professions should be entertained
with respect aud have doe consideration.
The bar associ alton Of this city has seen
proper, at a called meeting of its mem
bers, to express a preference for can
didate for county Judge. Their seton is
before the people of the county. 1t is for
them 70 say at their primaries whether or
not they will take the suggestion of the
members of the bar in good part and act
fAvorably upon it, or whether they prefer
some other name than that now presented.
The gentleman they have mentioned,
Judge James II Burts is q lawyer
Of fne ability and great experience II &C
tive practice, and if elected 20 the office
would doubtless fill it with credi; 70 him
self and the satisfaction of the county aud
with due regard TO all its interests. The
STATESMAN at present has no 'ayori.es for
the position. Il merely wishes 20 CON
ment with approval upon the action OF
the bar association in taking an active in
tsrest in this question, and viewing sust
interest as an excellent sign of des r.
beiag abroad TO secure good and efh,ien'
officers for the county, commends th'
preeedent 20 the community as being
sound in principle snd wise in policy.

GAMBLING IN VIRGINIA.-George Alfred
Townsend says that the particular vice OF
Virginia is gambling, and he relates this III
oidept of his recent tour through the State !:
"When returned from Leesburg ! heard
two men talking behind me for the space OF
two hours, and their whole conversation
was descriptive of games of cards held the
night before-how one man had held two
pairs and another had tuli, &c Into this
game these grown up men of respectable ap
pesrance-men probably fifty years ofage-
went with minutie and relish that was
astonishing" At the Virginia villages, ne
says, you see the young men ride up at about
II o'clock and hitch their horses. They en-.
ter the groggeries, in the back part Of
which, behind sheet, are tables lot caro-
nlavinp. There they drink bad whisky and
win each others money till about O'Clock
In the afternoon, when they mount their
horses and ride home.
