Having consented to be a candidate for the office of Judge of this district, my desire was to visit von in person to solicit your support at the coming elec­tion. But causes of a private nature put it out of my power to do so ; and I am obliged to deprive myself of that plea­sure, and to pay you my respects in this manner. I fe. l the more satisfied, how­ever, that t is omission on my part will not make any material difference ia your determination a« to whom your votes will be given, inasmuch as I can not my­self say anvthing as to my fitness and capaeitv to fil! t! e office I ask, and as my position at fhe Bar and on the Bench for the last thirty years has made me sufficiently known, either personnallv or by reputation, to almost every voter in the 'district.

Asking nothing: more than your sup-po "t if vour consider me worthy of the office, I subscribe m- self.

We sincerely eongatulate Gov. Moore of this nomination, as Mr. Bond proved himself worthy, in every respect, of sue an honor by his merits and intellect ; and, no doubt, he will fulfill the duties of his new position in a loyal and chi­valrous manner.

The Jus'ire Z. Richer.—We learn with reg et that Justice Z. Richer, of the Bor-d MUX district« will resign the office which he is filling since several years with much ability and justice. The motive attributed to such a détermina-1
