I'OTTSVIILB, .Tan. 30. Threo members of tho Legislature are to beolcctod in tho Fourth district this year and thus far there aro twenty-one candidates in tho field for the Republican nomination, or au average, of seven Republicans for each seat. They aro CHpt. Cyrus Sheets, Capt. Jacob Britton, Wra. Wooiuer, Hon. G. W. Kennedy and Gus Shrink, of rottsvillo; John Stewart, of Iieilly Township; Hon. S Cooper and II. W.

Hamsey Potts, ono of tbo wheel- horses of tho Republican party and who has been twico a member of the Legislature, and represented his dlairirt honorably and faith fully, will 1bo bo a candidate for his old seat this year. The Fourth district could not do better than return him. If It is to beai'otts- ville man, let it bo Hamsey Potts. Joel McDonnell, of l'alo Alto, is alio mentioned as a strong candidato for the Legislature in this district. Ho is backed by such men as Senator Kcefcr and William Yvilhcltu, Esq. .Tool would make a good legislator. Meicantilo Appraiser Walter Stevenson starts out on his rounds On the first of Feb- mary.

Elias Davis, candidales for Congress and Shurilf. respectively, were visitors to Pottsville on Monday. In many quarters tho nominations of these tno gcutienien are conceded audit will take tho hardest kind of work to take them on tbo list, if it can bo done at all. There 1 some opposition to Sir. Loich chtrishlng any legislative hopes. Manv people iu this district say that he should not entertain tneni II lie is to turow out his hook aud lino fur a state ollicu. One particular friend of tho bald headed statesman said the other day, bam must nut think he has mortgage on all tho offices. 1 am willing ho should have a nomination for tha Legislature, if ho wants it, but this claiming of even- thing in sight with tho hope of Ji certainty of something is rattier too much of a goon thing." If Sam wants to go to Congress, as somosay ho does, ho must make peace with a goodly number of Republicans, as ho must have every Republican vote under his Btandard. With John Shocnor it is quite dlflerent. Ho has a united party behind his back and will nuvo no tenets to repair. Mr. Shoenor would mako an excellent Congressman, lio would devote his energies to tho Interests of his constituents and not dabble iu affairs in which they would not bo concerned, or schemes to "down" others who may be engaged in legitimate undertakings, but not exactly in touch witli tho Congressman's sentiments. Mr Shoener is a clean cut caudidato aud it nominated he will have the. worklugmeu with him to a man. Hon, D. D. Phillips, of Gordon, has also been mentioned iu connection with the nomination, bin. his friends think ho had better take tho nomination fortbe Legislature in theSecouddistrict, which is his, if he wants It. lliscbances in that direction would ho better than for Congicss, or Senator. It Is almost ceitaln that ho cannot carry the 30th Senatorial district. It is conceded by tho most shrewd politicians iu that district, that Major John F. Finney is thoonly Republican who can carry it. Iu tho ovent of the latter's nomination aud election theru would bo no disparagement tu Mr. Phillips. In their lo 8pectivo places the two could do considerable good fur both the stato aud this county. They are well experienced m state cratt and know us well as the best when the proper moment arrives to no a turn lor their constituents. EXPLOSION IN A MINES.
