The Eighth Congressional District.

10 the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
WARRENToN, Mar 80. AS the Alexandra
Gazette is the only daily newspaper il the
Alexandria or Eighth Congressional district
and in the opinion Of many, let me add, the
best daily newspaper in the State, it is but
natural that the skirmishing which always pre-.
cedes Congressional fight should begin in your
columns. And it has begun with vengeance
| have waited patiently for your numerous cor.
respondents in the several counties Of the dis.
trict to get through with their nominations, but
hope deferred hath made the heart sick. The
supply of embryo statesmen in our midst seems
lnexhau:tible, and the cry is still they come.
Verify, the woods are fall Of them | sup.

gentlemen IN the Eighth district ready to serve

country, but one Samson IS all We want, aod

The rannhIican members Ct the u. >. Senate

The republican members ct the U. 3. Senate
held caucus last Saturday to consider the po'
litical situation, ADD arrived at the conclusion
that TO follow Mr.. Howe's onslaught en- the
President would only weaken their party by
driving away frou them all the of6ceholders
and seekers. As this detection would tend to
strengthen the democracy, the caucus deter
mined to bide their time, to suppress any more
eoullitions of the Howe type, and to nomloa!Iy'
at least support the President until 40 oppor'
tupit7 shall arrive for striking him efectualiy,
without iDjuriug the party or helping their po-
litical opponents. What wise people the repuo'

O1e million of silver dollars were coined at

How many have been coined by the counter

is supposed to greatly exceed that Issued by

cuted that they are received at the Treasury.
Indeed it is impossible to Distinguish the true
from the spurious coin, inasmuch as the work
on the latter is as good if not better than that

pure. The counterfaiters make about twelve
cents on every one they issue-a pretty good
profit, and calculated to increase the business.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
On, of the O'Shsa Robbers Captured CON.
mittsed to Await a Requisit'on from
Oregon.

Yesterday afternoon Chief Harris
arrested suspicious character at
the Kansas City Hotel, opposite the
new depot, whom he suspected to
be one Of the three men who rob-
bed O'Shea's pawn-broker's store
at Portland, Oregon, in August last.
The man whom first approached
by Harris gave the name Of Harry
Howard and when arrested exhib-
tied some reluctance to accompany
him. Harris at once handcuffed
him aud brought him down town.
At the police Office the prisoner ad-
mitted that his name was johnson
and that he was one of the parties
that committed the Portland rob.
berry. Harris telegraphed the ar
rest to the Chief of Police Of Port
land who, last night, answered the
dispatch, telling Harris that, If the
prisoner was the right man, he
would find the letters "F T" on
his left leg. On examination the
letters were found as described.
Johnson was then committad to
Jail to await requisiti0n from the
Governor of Oregon. so
Our readers will remember that
the robbery was executed with
great holiness, the thieves enter
Ing O'Shea's store about o o'clock
In the morning and, after Telling
the proprietor with slungshot,
Hooked the door, packed up the jew
elry aud valilables and escaped by
the rear entra nee, passing through
q dry goods store to the street. A
hue and cry was at once raised and
In the pursuit one Of the robbers,
In returning the fire of the pursu-
ers, shot and killed q small boy.
Two of the party were arrested neal
Portland, but the third escaped
and no clue could be discovered al
to his whereabouts until his cap.
ture by our Chief OF Police yester.
day. johnson states that he walked
nearly all the way from Portland
to this city, avoiding all large
towns on the way. His return will
be accomplished at the cost OF
much less personal fatigue and the
Webfoot authorities, we have nc
doubt, will provide him with guar.
tees IN which long pedestrian trips
will not be one OF the prescribed
exercises.

Take Care Of Your Eyes.

Persons having a tendency to
weakness of sight, or those expert
encing unusual fatigue of the eyes
In reading, or similar occupation
requiring close vision, should re-
sort to the aid of glasses imm edi-
ately. Nothing is gained by watt
ing aud much may be lost. But 1t
is important to have the right
kind of glasses. Do not buy them
of venders who have no knowledge
Of optical science, but go to Hirsch-
field, the practical opticiau, who
will give you pair of glasses that
will suit you, whether your case be
weak sight, old sight, near sight or
