Resignation of Judge Linn: In another column of the REPORTER, our peaders will find the letter of res- ignation of Hon. Samuel Linn, Presi- dent Judge of this Judicial District, addressed-to the people of the same. We are gratified that Judge Linn’s resignation is in the spirit of our arti- clo upon this subject, which appeared in our last week's issue. We can as- sure the Judge that hisaction, namely, resigning in time to give the people an opportunity to choose his successor, will we commended by the people who elected him. For the Judge's reasons, we refer our readers to the letter, An election will therefore have to be held next October, to fill this vacancy, until which time the hench will be oc- cupied by an appointee of Gov, Geary. The White North Must Knock Under. We have given the acceptance of nominated them for President Vice President, that the negro shall have the right of suffrage in the Uni- ted States. The ‘elections have been held in the southern States, under Ste- vens and Sumner's re-construction bills, and the negroes have a majority in the Legislatures of those States, by the as- sistance and intervention of the milita- ry satraps of Congress, who are deter- mined to rule the white man with a vengeance—not satisfied with this, the negro must be elected to Congress, as will be seen by the letter, published and copied from Forney's Press of the The following letter written by Senator 2), 1868, SENATE CHAMBER, June man to Congress.

Torne reorLe or THE 256th Jupt- Gra Disrrions Lam about to resign the office of President Judge, Had my personal interest and inclinations been alone consulted, 1 would havedone so at least four years ago. But, on making known at that time, privately, my desire to resign, to several of the most prominent and discreet men of the district, with- out distinction of party, they united in suggesting that I would be doing in- prevailed during the war, and thus re- quire the people to cleet a successor at a most unpropitious period. Conced- the time being, though at the saerifice my sedentary hadits were injuring my health, and that a change to more ac- tive pursuits would be greatly to my advantage. Since then the baneful in- fluence of a sedentary life has been aradually growing upon me, until, within a few weeks past my physician has, in kind, but unmistakable lan- cuace, warned me that if IT would es- cape serious and permanent injury to my health, a change must be made in my manner of life, and that too with- out any delay, This determined me to hesitate no longer, and give up my office at once. The only question left was, When shall my resignation take effect ? In this behalf I determined to act honorably and conscientiously — leaving conse- quences to fall whore they might. A careful consideration of the subject has led me to conclude that it is my duty to resign just now, so as to allow the people to fill the vacancy at the first general election that shall occur here- after. I received my office from the | people of the district, and when 1 ean | no longer serve therein, a sense of hon- Cor and justice prompts me to give hack that which was conferred upon me asa from whom I reeiived it, that they | may transfer it to a person of their own choiee, in manner provided by the Cou- wealth, | I to retire {fron without expressing to you publicly my with which you have treated ing the whole of my term, and the man- ner in which my official acts and de ions have been received and sustained by a coustituency by far too officer an entire freedom from mistakes t in judgment.
