THE HEADLIGHT”1
• JOHN H, WALSH,
Kwmt.
SENATOR OVERMAN.
The malt of e few weoka
contest gives ua Hon. Lee
8. Overman as U. S. Sena
tor, to succeed Senator
Pritobard. Wall, we ere
satisfied. Hr. Overman, so
far as wo‘are informed, waa
fairly sleeted, and we shell
give him all the support and
honor to which, aa a Senator
hais entitled. We would
have pieferredC. B. Watson,
and we think this hoaor
should have been conferred
upon him for three different
reasons:
First, because ha Wat the
equal In every respect of any
other aspirant, second, be
came he submitted to the
gubernatorial nomination in
1000, hi the very face of de
feat, this too. whan it had
Uea declined fay at least one
ether: thirdly became be
wm a gallant veteran who
carried a gun, and the only
veteran who will probably
aver ask for the honor.
There la not a Confederate
let scan la either branch of
Congress, and now we aak,
why in it thus? It means
something—h is no more
heppeneo. la H boeauae the
boys who wore the gray are
grttiag too grey? Wbjrtbere
are enough ir- band now to
raise a yell that would strike
terror In twice their number
w, who never
baaed the thrill whistle of a
mionie bail or the roar of
ter of surprise, as there
seems to be a disposition on
the |>art of some of the young
bloods, to above the veterans
to the rear, on the plea that
they sure tpo old. We honor
youth where honor can bo
worthily bestowed, and we
like to see onr young men
brought to tho front and
placed in tho ranks with
those who are older and
wiser and trained to fill the
highest positions in church
and State ; but to AH all the
offices with young men, man)
of whom are totally unquali
fieri, is a big venture upon
the part of thoee who place
them tbore Richmond has
a young man in the legisla
ture, and we *ro free to sn)
that he honors Richmond,
a-xl Richmond honors him.
But we have digressed some
what. Ws thought Mr.
Watson shonld have receiv
ed tho nomination—and wo
still think so. However, we
bow to tho will of the major
ity. ' Especially do we do
this, boeiuue it is good de
mocracy to do so Again,
we do so bocausu Lee Over
man is a great man, and a
pure democrat, to tho man
ner born. North Carolina
has no son, more worthy—
none who will sorvj her bat
ter.
OUR LEGISLATURE.
Last Saturday, Hon. A. S.
Dockery who represents
Richmond in tho legislature,
suggested that Saturday
should bo a working day,
tho same as any other. Hur
rah for Settle! It’s a pity
that all the members can’t
see it in the same light. The
legislature has beau in ses
sion uearly a month, and
pray, what has been donel
We shall certainly expect
more from this session than
was done by the last session ;
and that, what may he done,
will be done for the benefit
of the people at large, witli
ont partiality, fear or favor.
Great responsibilities rest
upon all the members. Their
people are watching them
closely, and their future
popularity will depend upon
their votoe upon all import
ant matters that may oome
Iwfore them.
