SOME of the most noted astronomers are
wrsngling about the possible intra- Mercu-
rial planet named by its supposed discov-
erer Vulcan. No one can decide upon its
actu 81 existence until friendly eclipse of
the sun happens TO make it visible. This
may not occur for the next thousand years,
if ever, and the astronomers who cevote
their time to such an ungracious planet viii
meet with no substantial reward. How
much better might they employ themselves
in hunting for asteroids, planetary moons,
and other such useful little bodies, of which
there is undoubtedlys large number yet

Virginia Politics.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Virginia
Republicans re becoming thoroughly
frightened at the completeness of the Con-
servative or Opposition organization in that
State. The administration organ here is
directing the campaign from Washington
standpoint, as if the fate of the Nation de-
pended upon its exertion. 1t has suggested
the nomination of George Deneal, ma
tive of the State, for Governor by the Lynch
burg Convention, and has otherwise inter-
feredE to upset the calculations of the State
Republican politicians who are in favor of
nominating Judge Hughes. The latter,
however, is not the choice Of Senator Lew
is and his clique, but is supported by the
carpet-bag element. 1t is evident
even at this early date that this
| Convention will be stormy one. The Re-
| publican clique under the leadership Of
| Senator Lewis and his son-in-laW, j. Am
bier Smith, Representative-elect from the
Richmond district, will violently oppose the
schemes of Messrs. Patt, Stowell, and other
lending carpet-baggers, including Rush Bur-
| CESS, against which latter they have an es-
pecial grudge, on account of his personal pop
ularity with the President, which has en-
abled him TO retain bis place as Internal
Revenue Collector, in spite of DR.. Smiths
confirmation by the Senator. This act of
the Presidents in retaining Burgess indi-
Gates the preference of the Administration
for the carpet-bag faction, and his repeated
acts of friendship for Mosby indicate that
he is di posed to ignore the Lewls-Smith
clique altogether. .
The Conservatives object to this admin
istration interference in the local political
affairs of Virginia, and some of the naive
Radicals, particularly those who t0low the
lead of Senator Lewis, threaten to bolt the
[ ticket, if the management of the Lynchburg
Convention is retained by the present
Washington Influences.
The material questions at issue regarding
railroad laws and other internal imFfove-
ments seem to be overwhelmed by the fear
that the State may be reduced tOthe
finaEcial degradation which prevails lin
South Carolina, owing to these imporapt
schemes falling into the hands of irrespon-
sible csrpet-bag government.
