To ths Editor of the Eatieaal Republican:
SIR: VIII you permit me to call the attention Of
gentlemen who are here asking their party for
office, and Of Northern ard Eastern Congressmen,
to few facts?
When the Democratic caucus was held on Sat
urday week 1t IL shown BY the published proceed
ings that Virginia put in her claims1or Clerk and
for other officers, and 1t Is said that when nomina-
tions were being made for the last Of four ofices
that Of Postmaster Of the House Of Representa-
tives, Virginia N. @. put In nomination Mr..
Steuart, and In tsnes Of piteous said:
81 call the attention Of this caucus to the fact
Virginia has got nothing" The Virginia nominee
was elected, and the next thing 10 Q publication
in the Tribune to the effect that the Virginia
Congressmen had held 0 caucus and decided that
they were entitled to all the patronage Of that
officer. This seemed incredible. Il seemed too
arrogant-too selfish and contempdble. But the
List Of published appointments shaws It to be true
and, for piece Of cool arrokance and selfish as
sumption, would be sublime, hftwas not 80 small
Now, the Virginians alone did NOT elect Mr..
Steuart. There are Democrats here from other
States who would like to share In some Of the
ofnces which Democratic ofhcer, elected BY Dem
ocratic votes from other States, has at his dis
pssal, and call the attention OF General Hunton
and the Virginia delegation to the fact. New
York "has got nothing YETI Pennsylvania "has
got nothing yet" and call attention Of Congress-
men and the country to such proceedings.

A CUTTING AFFAIR.

Fight in Gambling psI-serious Result.
81 A cutting ARRAY, which msy yet result very
seriously, occurred about three o'clock yesterday
morning, in low gambling den, on Twelfth
street, between c and D northwest. The place is
known as the "old Iron Door" and is occupied
at present for variety Of purposes, gambling
being not the least important feature. A colored
man named Churchill Carpenter was inticed into
the building during the night, and taken by men
Of his own color to room in the second story.
After playing cards for some time, aquarrel arose
about the ownership OF ten-cent note, and dur
out the lieh and another drew out knife and
stabbed Carpenter in the side, INJECTING o deep,
but probably not fatal, wound. .a.-
Carpenter was found in this condition by the
police, and medical aid was procured, and he was
conveyed to his home on Ridge street. Officer
Harlow, as It was impossible to discover who did
the stabbing, yesterday arrested the man who
rents and occupies the room, Augustus Hollen,
who WAS present at the time.
