and Queen for a joint discussion of the
political situation. .....
1t was agreed that Col. Burgess and Col.
Beard should lead off in speeches of half
an hour each, Major Bland to follow in
speech of an hour, and Col. Burgess to
close in half an hour. These preliminaries
were speedily concluded and the work be-
gan. Col. Burgess was introduced, and for
half an hour passed in rapid review the
policy of Grants administration--the good
results to the country of its wise, just, and
economical measures, and concluded by re-
viewing the visionary schemes, which, from
time to time, have impressed the brain of
the Tribune man. ... ..-. -....r ...r =.
Colonel Beard was next presented, who,
in his clear, strong and concise style, pre-
scented the principles of the Republican
party, and the history of the country under
the influence of such government, con-
trasting its condition with the period when
the people were being educated and indoc-
trinated under the Tammany fathers and
their founders. It was conclusive and con-
yincing. .E aE IFS
Major Bland was then presented. The
Major is an eloquent and able man, and
for an hour worked earnestly to turn the
tide OF sentiment which it was but too
apparent seemed against his candidate. If
the Major had sound political views, and
tolerable good candidate, he would make
formidable opponent; but notwithstanding
his ability in the management Of his case,
when Colonel Burgess came to reply, and
in his ponderous and sledge-hammer style
to show up the fimsey defamation of Grant,
and the record of Greeley, it was too much
the crowd yelled and stamped and cheered
for Grant and Wilson, and as each succeed
ing point was made by the Colonel the good
humor increased. lie concluded amid the
widest enthusiasm, and has made a fine
impression on all sides at the Point, which
will result in much good to our ticket.
Let him come out again. .l,

TIE GAS INVESTIGATIONS
Kelley began his Investigations into the
gas muddle this morning at his Office in
the City Hall. There were present the
Mayor, Messrs. Starl1e, Whitlock, Metzger,
Scott and Oliver, of the City Council, and
the reporters of the city press. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were examined as wit
nesses in the search for information as to
the alleged irregularities in the gas inspect
or's office. William Hall Crew, William
l.. White, r. Jones, A. G. Franklin, Col
lector Regnault, Mr.. Riddick, Treasurer
Greenhow, John G. Pryde, and Mr.. Nc
Carly.
The testimony thus far elected reveals
many irregularities in the conduct Of the
business in the inspectors Office, and
shows that all the employees of the office
are delinquent in the payment of their gas
bills. The fact was also revealed that
many pages of the delinquent book, embra-
cling the alphabet from IN to 81"
for the years 1865 to 1868, had been
distracted from the Office, and that, too,
since the investigation into the affairs of
the office by the committee on light had
begun. The check-book shows that some
bills have been checked off as paid, when in
reality they never have been paid, as was
proved by one of the debtors, who also testi-
fed that he knew Of no one in the inspec-
tors office to whose interest it would be to
settle his bills.

Political Discussion at West POint-Triamph

WEST POINT, VA, September u.

WEST PoINT, VA, September u.
10 he Editor NJ the STATE JosGFrat;
1t will doubtless interest our friends to
know that Republican influences are at
work here as well as elsewhere in the
State. For some time it has been known
that our gallant standard-bearer, Sener, the
Republican candidate for Congress from
this district. had made out programme
for speaking in the campaign and included
September court-day for his address to the
people of King William. - .s,r II q.
Taking advantage of his coming, the
Republicans in the vicinity of this town
arranged for a meeting here to-day and
expected Mr.. Sener to inaugurate his short.
sharp, and deciSire fight in the precincts Of
this inyincible Republican stronghold, as our
beautiful city is styled by the Dolly Warden
politicians of the day. But Mr.. Sener was
unable to reach here in time for the
meeting, and our prospects for public
speaking seemed very much like
the enthusiasm for Greeley, dying out !;
but according to Pophan,, ''the Gods are
lust, Virginia must and aoiN be redeemed"
So was our expectation of having a meeting
at West Point fully redeemed by the pre-
sence of two of your townsnen, who had,
fortunately for us, strayed off in these
wilds-once the famous hunting grounds Of
the great pamunly chieftain aud his
braves who peopled this land before the
| exigencies of Democratic misrule made it
necessary for the election of Republicans
to save the country. -
These gentlemen were in search OF game
sora, partridges and such llke-bnt, follow
ing the glorious example of our Savior, wht
changed the fisherman's occupatson, they
were prevailed upon to become hunters o
men, and right well have they performed
the task. Colonel Rush Burgess and hi
friend, Colonel Beard, laid aside guns an'
