Will He Resign.

One of the most important questions now agitating the minds of our leading citizens is will Judge Vanderburg resign his position as a judge in the Fourth judicial district in time to give Gov. Pillsbury an opportunity to choose his successor? Under the peculiar circumstances of the case, it would seem perfectly safe to conclude in the affirmative. In the first place, there is a belief among some that Judge Vanderburg is a party to a trafficking bargain, wherein he is to keep his seat upon the bench until Gen. Hubbard assumes the Gubernatorial title, so that Col. Benton may receive the much coveted judgeship. And, again, he is accused of still harboring a bitter feeling of hostility towards Gov. Pillsbury, engendered by an old misunderstanding or personal difference of opinion, and therefore he will exercise every opportunity within his power to frustrate Gov. Pillsbury and prevent the use of prerogatives. Now, those who best know Judge Vanderburg, entertain a very different opinion. They believe that all in good time he will formally tender his resignation, and that Gov. Pillsbury will appoint his successor, which latter will probably be either D. A. Secomb or J. M. Shaw.
