ELECTION IN VIRGINIA. 1ss
The Legislature of Virginia has fixed the
2lst for the election of State officers. and IL
is thought here, from private intelligence
received from Richmond, that it is the de-
sign of that body to reinstate old officers who
hold places under Gov. Smith. Gov. Pierpont
would regard this as personal insult, and
it is believed would retire from Office in that
event, which would force upon the govern
ment the appointment ofa Provisional Gov
amor.
EXCITING SCENE.
There was a remarkable and exciting
scene in the Circuit Court to day. Mr.. Brad
ley expressed the hope that Judge Olin
would not urgue certain facts to the Jury.
Tho Judge denied he had interferred with
the facts and said be would not be insulted,
and would not suffer Mr. Bradley to state to
the Court what the latter knew to be un-
true.
Mr.. B.-If you mean have stated what
know to be untrue, you are a har and
scoundrel.
The court ordered the marshal to take Mr..
B. into custody and he was removed from
the EaeunO.IIl OIuereU ruIc to be served on
Mr.. b. to show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt of court.
VISITORS.
Among the visitors to the President To-
lay was Henry Smith, President of the
Central Bank of New York City, who had a
Drotracted interview.
