gone to assist in organizing the Conserva-

WASHINGTON, July 2s, 1869.
The Cabinet meeting day after to-mor-
row. to attend and preside over which the
President is about to forgo the pleasures
and rccrcations of Long Branch, is looked
for with more than usual interest, and the
giid names predict q variety Of results
affecting number of subjects now promi-
ncnt in the public mind from the delibcra-
tions Of that day. Some think that matters
concerning the election in Virginia will be
discussed, and that the situations in Ten
ncsscc. Mississippi, and Texas, will be
talked over, and efforts made by the Rodi-
cal lrinq of the Cabinet TO have the Ad-
ministration enter heartily into the canvass
in the last-namcd States in support of their
favoritc candidates.
Il is ,ceN enough iH2Otrn that the con-
SENTATIVE people of Virginia-those who
have so thoroughly entered into the spirit
Of devotion TO the Union and the Constitu-
ton as evidenced by the recent election
have firm friends here not only in high quar-
tcrs outside the Cabinet, but ~ the Cabinet
rs we'll, and there can be no doubt but that
these friends Of Virginia, made earnestly so
hv recent events, have the ability, the
strength of mind and the influence to in
sure patient hearing and u just response
TO any representations they make either to
the President or Congress in her behalf.
The indications point clearly to q wide
division Of sentiment among the Republi-
cans in the next Congress, even if it does
not become prominent in the Cabinet before
December.
Cuban sympathizcrs here believe that the
Cabinet will on Friday next 60 into the
consideration Of matters connected with af-
fairs in Cuba The recent visit of Sccre-
tary Fish TO Long Branch, they assert, is
one OF the evidences that important infor-
nation requiring the action Of this Govern
mcnt has been received by the President.

MURDER IN ACCoMAC COUNTY, VA.-An
unproyokcd murder was committed at the
fourth election precinct in Accomac county,
Va, on the 9th instant. We have not been
able TO learn the full particulars, but it
seems that two ncighbors and voters at the
same precinct, Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. East,
met at the polls, and, so far as was known,
we're on as good terms as men generally
arc-at least Mr.. East suspected no diff
Guilty; but some time during the course Of
the day he was approached by Lewis and
asked if he (East) had not some old grudgc
laid up in store against him, to which East
replied, "No," with the interrogatory
" What reason have for having grudgc
against You? Z" and received i'll response
from Lewis, "Wcll, have against you"
Some ether words, though no blows, followed,
and East, seeing that Lewis was bent on a
quarrel, and may be mischief, took shelter in
Mr.. Wright's store, supposing that nothing
further of a bclligerent character would oc-
cur. But, alas! poor man, he was mista-
ken; he had entered that store for the last
time, and instead of it proving a shelter
and protection to him, he met with Il sudden
and terrible death within its walls; for,
while considering himself perfectly safe
from molestaton, Lewis land if we mistake
not Lewis's sony rushed in upon him with
fearful demonstrations, the while threaten
ing an attack and violence upon East. East,
for self-defence, quickly seized q stool or
common chair, but failing to ward off his ad-
versaries, scuific ensued, during which one
of the palties-the young man we believe
struck him n violent blow near the point of
the hip with a ponderous bowie-knife,
glancing to the front, it completely severed
all those veins and ligamcnts in the region
of the groin, and also cutting the femoral
artery. This one blow was so powerfully
and so unerringly dealt, that the murder
Gus steel in the assassin's hand too certainly
accomplished its purpose, and death ensued
in a very short time. For the moment con-
sternation was depicted upon every counte-
nance: but. on the first terrible shock sub
siding Lewis was arrested, taken before a
magistrate, who could not do otherwise than
commit him, and he is now in Drummond-
town jail awaiting the action OF the next
term of the criminal contradictions (Hd.)

Hon. Horace Greeley is here on return
trip Of observation through the western
part Of the State. He addressed large
crowd tonight. His illusions to political
affairs were brief. He thought that Walk
er's platform embodied the only true
grounds of reconstruction. He is opposed
to political disabilities, and advocated the
protection of the interests and rights of all
classes. He dwelt upon the great material
resources Of Virginia-especially its un-
PARALLEL supplies of coal and iron, and its
productive soil. He urged the young men
of the State to remain, there being enough
here for all to do, and opposed the substitu-
ton of coolie for negro labor. MED.
