1t is said that the adherents of Randall are
bent on his election as Speaker at all hazards
and it is even said that if it is discovered that
he cannot be the choice of the Democrats they
will Withdraw from the general caucus, and
then, by coalition with the Republican mem
bcrs, elect him. 1t is charged that Randall is
trading with the Republican members. The
only thing charged against Kerr is that he is
not strong enough physically to perform the
onerous duties of the Office, bat this has been
emphaticaly contradicted by Mr.. Kerr who
says he was never 10 better or stronger health.
Mr.. Randall has the united support of the Ohio
delegation, he having pledged himself to sup
port Thompson, their candidate for Sergeant
alarms.
The Virginia deleg ltlon is nearly all here,
and are divided on the Speakcrship. They
will have private caucus as soon as they all
arrive and can meet together

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
RICHMOND, Va, Nov 3O.-Ihe city to-
night is filled with the incoming members Of
the General Assembly. A gentleman took the
trouble to count the number of candidates for
different positions, and ascertained that there
were just about twentythree more candidates
for cerkshps, doolkeepers sergeant al. arms,
and pages than there were members present
of beth houses. This will givs some idea OF
the numbers anxious to rive, 10 any way, their
bleeding country. The first contest will be for
Speaker of the House. The most prominent
candidates will be the gentleman who filled the
position last year, Mr.. Marshall Hanger, of
Augusta; Gen. E. R. BagweIi, of Aocomac;
Gen. w. B. Taliaterro, of Gloucester and
Hon. R. a. Coghi Of Amherst The contest
will be between the former and the latter, With
chances 10 favor Of Hanger
The most exciting contest will be the SeDa-
torIal. | think either the present incumbent,
Senator johnson, or Hon. Joho Goode will be
elected. It IS very doubtful whether ex-Gov.
Walkers name will be presented. Ii II ls he
will get very small vet. IT the fight Is very
close between Johnston and Goode some third
party will doubtless be taken up whose name
has not as yet been even mentioned. Such ls
the opinion of number of politicians with
whom have converSed.
General Imboden has not arrived in the city
yet. He was a delegate to the Pacific Railroad
Con7enton 10 ST. Louis. He was baiIed for
his appearance before the Police Court Thurs
day, the End instant. and will, [ think, GER
;aln!y be 10 the city ID morrow. The friends
OF Geo. lmboden say that he will certainly re-
sent the attempt to cowhde him which was
made BY Gen. Bradley L. johnson, and it is
feared that the parties will fight, notwthstand-
standing the fact that they have been bound
over to keep the peace in the sum of $1,000
each. STRoNGBoW.
