The present ls an age of polltics and polltical strife, and ln ropubllcs and among free people the tendency aeema alwaya towards groater polltical ngltatlon. Often, before the smoke of ono battle has cleared away, the akirmiah llnes of nnother aro being formed, nnd those who are promlnent ln their conduct are ln an almOBt continual state of turmoll and con fusion. Owlng to tho long Blege Incldent to constitutlonal revlslon ln Vlrglnia, there haa been no surcease among hor people for auveral years, and atlll tho end Is not In slght. Before tho present Legislature shall bave talten Its snmmer recoss to allow Its Revlslon Commltteo to do Its work, tho battle involvlng tho eloction of the next one will be on. and lt promlses to bo full of llfe and lnterest frorn Its very inoeptlon. A grent many of the present mombors will not atand agaln, and others who do mn may be oxpocted to meet tho cold comfort of defoat which comos to bo many publlo mon ln tho end. MAY BE MANY JUDGES. There aro many reasons both in favor of nnd agairist a large numbor of candl datea, though at thls tlma the former would soem to outwelgh the latter. For InBtance, there are a hundred county Judges who wlll. go ont of ofuce on tho flrst day of next February, and It ls sald, that many of them wlll deslro to round up thelr publlc caroer wlth Bervice in the Doglalature. If thla bo tnio, a large nura ber of them may asplro, and oa a rule thoy are mon of much popularlty ln thetr rfc?pectlvo locallUes. But the number of ellglbles 18 reduced, on the other hand, bv a oonstltutlonal Inhlbltlon agalnBt the eiectlon of poraons holdlng other oHlces, such as clerka of courts, Commonwoalth a attornoy, supervlsor, juperlntendont of schools; &c. Many of the present mem bers who now hold suoh oftlces wlll elther have to surrondor them or decilne to run for tho Loglslature thls fall, BOME OTHER REA30NS. Thero are stlll other roa.sons whlch would seem to lndlcato that the flow of candldates wlll not be altogothor so heavy ns ln tho past. Tho Conetltutlon has flxed the term ot tho Gonoral Assombly ln futuro at Blxty lr.Btead of nlnety dayS, and after paylng campalgn expenses members wlll not find lt profltable to come here for the sum of $210 por sesslon, whloh wlll hardly pay thcir actual llvlng expenses. As It ls, most men who Berve ln the Genernl Assombly do bo at a clear net loss, and stlll they come, becnuso, per haps, of tho fasclnatlng llfo, and becauso ot tho anlmatlng scenes In whlch thoy are mndo consplcuous and sometimes dls Ungulshed actors. In Bomo quartors the new constitutlonal provlslons upon tho legislativo dnpartment of the govemmcnt aro not popular, and as a rule they aro oommended by the rank and flle, along wlth the entlre In strument. ?_ OCCTJPATION GONE, Thero Is no longer any need for corpo ratlon attorneys to sacrlflce thelr tlme and othor buslness to come to the I/egls lature, and few of thom are expected to run ln futuro, as the ConBtltution Inrgo ly strlps them of thelr powor In thls Une, and transfers most of thelr flghta to tho Corporation Commlsslon. Neither ls It expected that groat lobbles wlll come hero durlng futuro sesslons of the body as the Constitutlon vhas loft them lltt o If aitythlng to do, and the futuro I-eglsla tures aro expected to attond strlctly to tho Stnte's buelness and go home. The nshU aro alrcady beglnnlng to open up, and wlthln tho next few months prlmarles wlll bo held ln somo oountloa ,to be fol lowod In rapld auccosslon by othnrs, un tll all the nomtnatlons shall havo been There is evory good renson to bolleyo that the next Degislature will contaln many Ropublicans, and there aro those who will wolcomo the presonco of a Hlronu, hwllthy mlnorlty, ln tho interoRt of tho PubUc gnod and of wisor and aafer leglslative aotlon.
