The Late Judge Davis.
New Orleans Observation-Disclosures

NeW orleans Flcayune-Editorial)
To live to ripe old age with the
love and respect of ones friends and
neighbor undiminished by Times
changes, is the best reward Of a. we'll.
spent life. Such was the fortune of
Judge Micajah Davis, distinguished
Virginian, who died at his home in Bed
ford City. Va. on Sunday last. in the S5th.
year Of his age.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Plcayune
publishes a sketch of Judge Davis, which.
while just recital Of the main events
OF his long career. affords but meagre
i6ea OF the influence for good which so
honorable a life, lasting over so long a
period OF years. must have had on the
community in which 1t was passed.
All accounts say that he was a Just
and impartial magistrate. a useful as
well as distinguished citizen, whose high
sense Of honor and answering integrity
were pointed to as shining examples for
the imitation OF the younger generation.
Although a man we'll advanced In years
at the outbreak of the civil war. Judge
Davis maintained a keen interest in af-
fairs up to within a short time before
his death. and only retired from the posi-
ton OF County Judge few years ago,
although he had then passed the age of
50 years.
Judge Davis was the father of Major
T. Z. Davis, editor Of the Pieayune.

denomination of Hon. w. A. Young.


The representatives Of the Democracy
of the Second District. in convention at
ocean View yesterday renominated by
reclamation the Hon. w. A. Young for
Congress. This was fitting anu appro-
pirate. Two years ago Mr.. Young was
the nominee Of his party, took the stand
ard of Democracy In his grasp. and car
ricd it to victory. He was discharging the
duties OF his high trust, ably faithfully,
and intelligently, when, by the action OF
a partisan Republican majority, he was
unseated, an outrage that 1t becomes
every true Democrat In the Second Dis
trict 10 resent, and by his vote in the
November election to secure the re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Young TO the next Congress.
1t will require an active, determined.
and persistent fight to secure this re-
suit. The Republican party proposes
to use every effort to control the next
House of Representatives. They will
leave nothing undone to accomplish this
result. Influences have been brought to
bea- TO harmonic all divisions In the
party ranks in Virginia looking ahead 10
the congressional contest. and especially
Will the attempt be made to secure unity
and concert of action, so as to retain
the hold on their present ill-gotten posses
sion Of this district in Congress. 1t be-
hooves, therefore, active and increasing
work on the part of the Democracy of the
old Second to win victory. The standard
OF the party has again been placed in the
trusty keeping Of Mr.. Young. He will
do his part in this as he did in the las.
contest. Support him earnestly and en-
Enthusiastically, faithfully, and willingly.
and he Will be elected.
