WHAT SENATOR WRITER'S sAYs ABOUT II.
NEW York, July 5.--senator Withers, OF
Virginia, IL now In this city. Speaking
upon the present and future political out
look, the Senator said to-day:
So far the National Greenback party has
not shown much strength in our State, but
they promise to do great things. No doubt
before the presidential campaign sets in.
they will he strengthened They sue
ceeded in eiecting theirs candidates for
the General Assembly for LYnchburg,
and that is all. There is a new State
party forming. which IS rushing things
fast, and probably will connect 1tsei Win
the Labor party as we'll as the eX-kepubilean
offlce-holders. They style themselves the
siorcible readiusters." They make their
issue on the heavy debt and taxation OF
Virginia, aud on this ticket hope 10 elect
their congressman.
who is likely to be the fayorite candidate
Tor the presidential char among tue peopie
Of the South?
Well, Thurman is ahead at present. de
ia a native OF Virginia, and the people VIII
stand bv him on both sides OF politics. lie
is a square man OF marked ability, and as
political leader can hardly be beaten. Inc
democrats will go for him solid il he can
only get the nomination.
What OF Hendricks!
Hendricks is also a native OF our State,
and is talked OF as the coming man. IN spite
of his last defeat. as Vice-President. de Is
well liked, and has large number or sup
porters. He did not iniure his chances py
running with Tilden, although ne VIII not
do it again. His platform will be different
from Tilden's, il he should succeed in get
ting the nomination. What OF the Repub-
Iican candidate, who he will be, 90 not
pretend to say, but l find that, so far as dis
cussions 90, Grant is TO he the man. LIE IS
looking for a nomination beyond doubt,
and think myself be will get it. There
is general opinion prevailing, SO
far rs I can understand, that he VIII
he the Republican nominee. There is no
doubt that Grant was sent to Europe pur-
posely, and will remain away until he Is
wanted. Then he will be fresh, and his
usual luck may go with him into another
contest. He appears TO be the strongest
man OF the Republican party. II he gets
the nomination the third-term policy VIII
not, think, affect him much.
Speaking Of the Potter investigation Mr..
Withers said: The result OF the lnvestlSa-
ton will show in a tangible manner where
the fraud lay, and that is all that is required.
The evidence all in, the people OF the coun-
try will give their verdict, and you KNOW
what that will be. The result must help
the Democratic party in the next preslden-
tal contest, and, Of course, SO against tue
Republican party"

aINCING-LANE MARKETS.
LONDON, July Gin the Alincing-Lane
markets there has not yet been noticed any
of the improy cmeno which might be expect
ed, now that political affairs have taken 4
favorable turn. The chief feature Of the
week has been business in the new seasons
teas. Three steamers have already arrived,
and a fair proportion OF their supplies have
been sold. There is no excitement in the
market, and dealers are acting with caution.
There have been numerous small public
sales by importers, showing desire to real
izc on lower classes Of Congo, and fall
OF q penny to two pence in the pound on
these may be quoted. The market to-day is
quiet. Sugar is less active than during last
week, but prices are unchanged. Planta.
ton Ceylon coffee sold at last weeks rates.
The supply is limited. Ordinary and pale
kinds are depressed, with prices tending
doWnwards. a cargo OF Rangoon rice has
been sold at decline OF three pence per
hundred weight The spice market is I'M
settled.
LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
LONDON, July G.-The Economist says the
ornount Of business transacted in the Stock
Exchange this week, to considerable eX-
tent. consisted Of realiZations by those who
found it incenyenient to pay existing higher
rates for loans, consequently the progress
admitted to have been made by the Berlin
congress has not produced general I'M
provement in prices. In the early part OF
The week, it is true, there was some advance
in home funds and certain other securities,
but q continued drain OF gold and other
rise in bank-Eate discount disheartened
BUYERS. The results were again very lrreg-
ular. In anticipation OF better supply OF
money on Saturday, resulting from the COM
mencement Of payment of dividends in
consols. the demand was rather less. Terms
for best three months bills ruled firm at
three per cent. discount.
We express the same opinion we DID last
week: that it cannot be said with certainty
whether the present rise in the Bank OF
England in the rate of discount is sufficient
to check the withdrawal OF bullion. During
dividend week it is frequently difficult TO
obtain bills, and the influence OF the French
demand will tend to make this more dim.
cult still: hence, with u small supply OF
bills in market, and the supply OF money
relatively larger than bills offering, it i
quite likely the outer market may not FOL
low the bank rate. The rise in the bank
rate is caused by the demand for gold fol
export, ard not by genuine business de-
mand induced by the requirements OF our
trade. Still, IL French money Is brought OF
caused to remain here by the risein bank
