iHe ConsefNAtlVe virginia JOURNALS announce
the fact that the republican state committee is
levying contributions upon the federal ONCE
holders in the state to carry on the present
campaign. The Virginia Sentinel learns that
Mosby's men" will not respond favoFably to
this request, and Is waiting to see II their Official
heads will be cut Of. The President announced
during the last Presidential campaign that no
governmentemplOyew would be removed for re-
fusing to contribute TO q political fund, and it
is not at all likely that he will cause the re-
moval Of federal ofice-holders in Virginia or
any other state simply because they decline to
ad with their means one party or the other.
