Senators DO Not Like It.

WASHINGTON, d. o., Feb. a.
At meeting OF the Senate Judi
cisry Committee to-day there was
some opposition TO the nomination
OF Judge Jackson to succeed Jus
tics Lamar, and the nomination
went over under the rules. As far
as can DO learned the opposition
does not touch Judge Jackson's
character or dtnegs, or even his
Democracy, but is based on an OBJ
lection founded on principle, tho
Democrats having taken The posi-
ton that it was not proper for an
outgoing President TO fill life pla-
ces Of such Importance. There is
no question that Senators on both
sides Of the chamber are deeply
concerned by tho probability OF Che
nomination Of Republican Circuits
Judge to succeed Judge Jackson,
the Democrats being determined in
advance TO resist the installation OF
a Republican on q Southern circuit
and the Republicans fearing that
they will have o hard struggle TO
confirm such q nomination at this
late stage Of the session.,

Our people were shocked on Sun
day last by the news Of the death
OF Capt. james Parsons, of this
place, chief engineer of the West
Virginia Central, who died from
the effects of a stroke Of paralysis
at the home Of his son-in-law l.. M.
Shepherd, in Cumberland. Mr..
Parsons was man Of great useful
ness and one whom this section can
lily do without, and has been res
ident OF Davis from its FIRST start.
At the time Of his death he was a
member OF the county court of this
county, a position he has ably ELL
ed for several years, and his death
will be regretted by the entire coun-
ty. As husband, he was affec-
tionate. az father kind. as neigh
Dor all that could be desired and
as citizen he filed the place in
every particular, being in every
way man Of usefulness to his fam
ily, his county, his State and coun-
try. He was an Elder in the Pres
byterian church of this place, and
when at his home was always found
at his post of duty. Thus is Da-
Wis deprived of another of her best
citizens. To the heart broken wife
and children of the deceased we
extend our deepest sympathy, az
we'll as that of the entire town, and
the b'st consolation We can give is
TO point them TO him who has prom
ised to be the husband of the
widow aud the father OF the father
less. Tho funeral took place Tues
day at R)mney, this State, conduc-
ted by his pastor, Rev. NJ. w.
Woodwork, OF the Davis Presby-
terrain church. davis Times.
From the same paper we take
the following; Quits q mum Der of
Rev. Mr.. Woodworth' g friend, paid
that gentleman visit ak his home
in this place wednesday evening
last. They took with them plenty
of the good things of life, enjoyed
the evening thoroughly aud cam e

ter of on account of their visit.
desire in this way to return
my sincere and hearty thanks to
all the kind friends who invaded
the parsonage on Wednesday night
last, and who, on leaving. left be-
hind them 80 many substantial to.
kens of theic good will and regard.
To say it mildly the visit was sur

valuable and useful, and both the
gifts and tho feeling that prompted
the gifts are highly appreciated.
