tract from letter written by Dr. GlNRR, Chair
man Of the Virginia State Central Committee,
ofthe ALxER party, written In reply to one fr' m
n msmber OF tie WELLS wing of the Republican
party urging the uniting of lhe two for the pur.
pose IT carrying out Republican principles in The

"You ask for a CO alition Of tle two wings Of

party is divided. On the eonlrary, claim that
the GRAVITY dker party, is the NATIONAL Repub-
nean party of Virginia, representing the policy
af the Presidsnt aud Of Congress, and MS such,
has no division to heal. tn the hate Wells party

that must luw to Virginia from an unequiyoca

rne New Attorney General.

Governor salisbury has appointed JonN
II. PAYETER, Esq, Atloiney-General OF the
State, in place Of Mr.. Moore, whose term OF
service has expired.
Mr.. Paynter is resident OF Georgetown
Sussex county, Delaware, is about thirty
wears Of age, lawyer of ability, ana
Young gentleman OF high personal integrity
and honor. Besides being prominent
citizen of his county, he is leading
and Influential member OF the Dem
ocratic party Of the State. In 1866 be was
elected Senator from Sussex county, and
served in the General Assembly with credit
during the sessions of 1867 and 1869. His
appointment meets with general favor; and
enjoying as he does the esteem and CONN
dence Of tile Bench and Bar Of the State, he
will doubtless ably and satisfactorily fulfill
the duties OF his new position.
We understand that MIR. Paynter has ap-
pointed IGNATIus C. CRUDE, Esq, oil this
city, as his Deputy. MIR. Grubb is well
known TO our community as an upright, ur
bane and useful citizen, a member OF The
Bar, and enjoying also the respect and cor
fidence of the Judges and his prolessiona
brethren generally. In the long list OF abb,
and acceptable young men of the Bar of Del
aware, we know of NO one whose appoint
ment would give more general satisfaction
than does that of Mr.. Grnbb.

THE ELECTION.

The election on Tuesday. passed off very
quietly and without difficulty, we believe,
in any of the wards. Notwithstanding so
much had been said about the recent act OF
the Legislature.
In the First and Fifth Wards there was
considerable interest manifested, owing, no
doubt, TO the fact thai the Republican candi-
dates for Council Tor the long term had
pressed themselves on the ticket contrary TO
the wishes of large portion of their party,
hence dissatisfied Republicans were most
anxious 10 scratch the intruders from their
tickets.
The Eighth Ward is said to have been
heavily colonized by the successful party,
and some things were done there that re-
qulre little future ventilation. The people
can have no objection to any candidate pay
ing seventy-fve cents per head or any other
sum to q voter for his vote, but they have q
most decided right to complain al the giving
away both the time and treasure of the city
to the men on the pubic streets, as an in
ducement TO vote the Radical or any othei
ticket.
With all the disadvantages, however
staring the Reform Party in the face, they
succeed IN dividing the Council, and cap
turing the entire city ticket, with the ex
ceptlon of the Mayor, Capt. Valentines ma
jorily being considerably less than one hun
dred majority sover his competitor, Mr
a Simms.

AU. s. REVENUE OFFrcER SHOT IN PHn-
AprfpHrA.-About noon on Monday last
marty Of rufllans went into Keenan's liquor
anon. at the corner of South and Arch sts.,
and. ailer inquiring ior Keenan,, asked,
WWhere was Brooks?" Mr.. James t.
Brooks, United States Revenue Officer,
who happened to be present, replied that he
was the man, when one OF the rufilians shot
him with revolver. Brooks's wound is
probably mortal, as the ball passed through
Ills lungs. The assassins drove to the store
in carriage, and after the deed escaped by
the same conveyance, driving off at farious
rate. They were traced through the city to
Paramount Park, where all clue to them was
lost hIr. Brooks was appointed a Govern
ment detective to prevent illicit distillauon,
and the assault was undoubtedly Ia revenge
for his successful efforts in detecting frauds.
Gen. Gregory, the United States Marshal,
has directed his officers 10 take steps lor the
\ arrest OF the assassins. hlr. Brooks is still
alive. but the nature of lis wound renders
his condition critical.
Commissioner Delano has instructed Su.
peryisor Fulton to offer reward of $5,0ul
| for the arrest of the patty who assaulted In
ternal Revenue Detective Brooks at Phila
delphia on Tuesday. provided the latter a
| the time OF the assault was acting In the per
| formance of his official duties.
