stated that his Alexandria opponent would

Let me be truthful If may seem to hurt.
Mr.: nellie, to appearances, is a very young
man to be hankerlng for Congress indeed, he
rattles on in a boyish manner, and what he
says is ill considered, in bad taste, and of
course injudiciOus His treatment of Gen.

but unfalthful In performances, and then
turned around and made the most extraya-

HUNTERS MILL, FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA,
August 9th, 1S1S-Editor Star: There is great
excitement all over Fairfax at the present over
the contest which will be DE- cided next Satur-
day between Hunton and nellie. Although we
are sure Hunton will be the nominee by a
large majority, we expect quite an exciting
time at some of the polls and perhaps blood

The Eclipse of the Moon Tonight.
There will be partial eclipse of the moon
this evening, visible wherever that body is
above the horizon. 1t is caused by the earth
passing between the sun and the moon. The
sun shining upon the earth casts a shadow
upon the neon. This shadow is conical, its
base being on TIE earth and projected into
space. Surrounding this is a cOnical partial
shadow, The Penumbra,' whose base is
away from the earth. The eclipse commences
here at fOul .een minutes and twentyfour
seconds after four this afternoon, when the
moon enters the Penumbra or outer shadow.
The sun being at that hour considerably above
the horizon, this phase OF the phenomenon can
at 81 minutes and Is seconds after five. The
eclipse may then be visible through strong
glass. At eighteen seconds past seven will
if the weather is favorable At 26 minutes
and Il seconds past eight the moon leaves the
shadow, and at 46 minutes and seconds past
nine it leaves the Penumbra or partial shadow
over the moon from east to west, Obscuring
about siX-tcnthS of its surface from the sight.
This portion will be what ordinary folks would
remaining four-tenths Of the moons surface
will be seen as usual. The eclipse will be OBJ
served generally by astronomers throughout
the country. 1t IS not, however, of any special
are of frequent occurrence. They would be
more numerous if the planes of it's and the
sun OrDltS dld not make an angle with the
earth. If the two orbits were in the same
plane there would be an eclipse at every full
moon. There would also be an eclip. e of the
inclination. however, there can only be an
eclipse of either of these bodies when the
moon comes within what is technically called
the ecliptic limit. In any one year the great
est number of eclipSes possible is seven and
the least two. In the former case five will be
solar and two lunar eclipSeS. In the latter
both must be solar. Under no circumstances
can there be more than three lunar eclpSes
in one year, while in some years there are
none at all. The latter will le the case next
year.

Commissioner of the General Land Office has

The RECEPTION OF THE CHINESE EN-
BAssY, When it arrives in Washington next
September, will not be quite as elaborate and
gorgeous as it has been stated it would The
Chinese ambassador and suite will be received
by the President and his Cabinet much in the
same manner that other foreign ambassadors
have been heretofore. The suite of Chin Ian
Pin being larger than that of any other for
elgn minister, there will necessarily be more
people i'll the room at the time The President
and his advisers are not anticipating any
great trouble in being able to convince the
embassy TO take the same view that they
maintain on the subject of Chinese immigra-
tion. 1t is impossible to tell what their in
structions are on this subject from the home
government, but it is not thought that China
is opposed to a limitation of the emigration of
ner people to this country. Mr.. Seward, our
Minister to China, will be here at the time of
the Embassy'S visit, and will by his experience
be able to facilitate the transaction of all buSi-
ness between the representatives of the Unt d
States and China.

Robinson said in the council room last
night that he didn't know that that ques-
ton had ever been an issue in our CITY
politics. Does anyone remember how Mr..
DImlck used to fight for that landing,
Does anyone remember why Mr.. Peter
Fries, good democrat, was defeated in
such strong democratic ward, or WIN
Mr.. Bailey a partizan republican was
elected in the same ward. We were under
the impression that the ferry landing had
been al issue in our city elections,

Steamboat MONOPOLY.

The city council, by the casting vote q
Mayor Reynolds, has decided not 70 give
the Diamond 10 Line equal privileges OF
the levee with the Northern Line They
granted the Diamond 10 Line such priviI.
eyes as cannot be made available and thus
they have given the Northern Line a mon
opoly. The effect of this will be to drive
large amount of business awav from tbf
city, inasmuch as it makes it impossible
for the Diamond 10 Line to do its railroad
transferring at this point
The council by the casting vote of Mavo,
Reynolds also authorized the removal Of
the ferry boat to the foot of 18th street
10 accomplish this it was necessary r.
drive the Diamond Jo Line away from
the CITY, In giving the casting vote on the
hrst question the mayor said they might
as we'll have some fun out of the matter as
not, and in giving the casting vote for tbs
removal of the ferry landing he said be
must vote as he thought right
80 important, in the matter of right
are the interests of the ferry that shippers
may be subjected to the extortions of a
steamboat monopoly and large business in
transferring freight at this point
may be driven away, unless the ship
psrs and business men can induce some
owner of private property on the bank of
the river to give the Diamond 10 Line the
same privileges that the city has given to
the Northern Line.
In reference to the removal of the ferry
landing Is unfortunate Cor the people, as
we'll as very silly done on the part of Can't
Robinson that the issue was not sprung
until after election. By this move the
terry becomes an issue at city elections as
it was from 1869 to 1874,

Who is Rlrhr2

Capt. Robinson stated before the council
last night that he never consented to the
location of the ferry at the foot of 18th
street The ARGUS does not saw of its
own knowledge whether this statement be
true or not, but it will say that Capt.
Robinson has said that he was willing to
land there if the city would make a good
landing at the foot of that street and this
the city has done. This much THE AR
GUS will say that James Nj. Buford who
was mayor at the time and Jacob Riley
who was alderman, both now say that he
was consulted at the time and consented
to the location at the foot of eth street and
the landing was accordingly improved.
inns we believe was before he purchased
the property where his bank is now located
The excuse that be made when he first
attempted to move back to 18th street was
that the landing at 18th was not good.

WORK. When Capt. Robinson saws to the
