meeting was held in the Office Of the State
journal, the Republican organ. Six mem.
bers we're present, about half the original

er of the Republican Constitutional Con.
veution, and others, denounciug the address
adopted by the majority yesterday, as di
rect censure of the President aud Congress
and in opposition to the Republican party
Of the country and that the declarations in
the address about the danger to Republic
ans in the State are untrue that the life OF
Republican is as safe in Virginia as in
New York, and that Congress would discov'
er the deceptive character Of these ssser
tons in the address to be to the ultimate
injury of the Republican party.
The general drift of the speeches was
that times have changed, and that the Re
publican party in Virginia must be put in
accord with the Republican party Of the
country prescription and reckless deDunci
alton of the people OF the State must b'
dropped as obsolete ideas. and the party
must be made strong and respectable enough
to carry the State on its own merits, as the
party in other States does.
All the speakers disclaimed the idea o.
forming another party, and only desired tt
reorganize on that now existing.
| A committee of six was appointed to cal
Republican convention at such time as i
may think proper, for reorganization.

WASHINGTON, Nov. &c. There is reaso
to believe that Secretary Cox will 80 far dl
regard the pressure for the removal OF tn
, capital as to recommend. in his report al
preparations for the repairing Of the old, an
aud the erection of some new, public bu'i'
ings. The commission, comprised OF Seer

, under a concurrent resolution OF Congres
at their last meeting voted to report in fave
Of locating the new State Department upo
the present site Of the War Departme'
edifce, on Judiciary SQUARE, near the UT
Hall. The previous determination to ioca
the State Department on Scott Square,
which the commission were by no meat
t unanimous, elected, it is understood, the o
0 position of Gen. Sherman who suggested u
= change which was subsequently made. II
