J. BELL BIGGER.

Senate are. as far as is known at the
present time all candidates for re-elec
ton, without any opposition. The onIl
exception is TO be made In the case o.
the Sergeant-at-Arms. u. Il. Weaver
who held that position last year. tool
French leave before the Legislature adj
journed, under rather unfavorable cir
cumstances, and since then has ever
disappeared from his home, in Giles
county. 1t Is understood that a Mr.
Wilson. who lives in one OF the upper
counties of this State. would like TO be-
come Weaver's successor. 1t has also
been rumored that Mr.. Phillips. of
Henrico county. would not object 10
holding the position now occupied by
| Mr.. William Wilson. OF the same coun-
| ty as janitor and keeper of the records
| OF the Senate. Even should this rumor
| prove true 1t would not be given any
serious thought, for Mr.. Wilson, by his
! familiarity with everything concerning
| the Senate, and his constant politeness
! and faithfulness, has become an almost
| Indispensable perquisite Of that august
| body which he has served for thirty
| years or more.
IN IHK LOWER BRANCH.
In the House Of Delegates. matters are
In about the same stage as in the Sen
ate Mr. John +. Ryan, who was elected
Speaker of the House towards the END
OF last session, to succeed Hon. X. II.
Gardwell, who had then been elected one
of the Judges OF the Supreme Court OF
Appeals. has again been nominated by
the Democrats of Loudoun county, and
will doubtless again represent That Sec
ton of the State in the House OF Dele
gates. He will be unanimously elected
10 the Speakership.
Colonel John Bell Bigger, the old
wheel-horse of Democracy, who has pi-
loted the House through many sessions
as its faithful and efficient clerk, ana
besides wnom no better parliamentarian
can be found in this State, is once more
willing TO give his valuable services ana
his abundant knowledge of parliamentary
law to the legislators of the lower Dranch
An attempt to oppose MIN would uii-
doubtedly be unsuccessful on the part
of any living soul.
Nothing definite can be learned AT tnls
moment, in regard 10 the other places TO
be filled by the House. except that MT. ]
