BOGUS WRECK.-The Baltimore Sun says
"Aman who says he is Captain Richard Robin.
son reported at tho Custom House yesterday
that his vessel, tho schooner VIM. II. Morgan,
from Charleston, with 351 tons phosphate rock
for the Patapsco Guano Company, of Baltimore,
had been sunk in the Chesapeake. His statement
was TO the effect that last Sunday night. during
o heavy Stow storm, his schooner was in coils
ion with tho threo mas!cd schooner Ida d.
Sturpis, of Boston, ard that tho Morgan wss
sunk If six minutes Of Watts Island, but tha!
tho crow Of seven men were ell saved. He said
his vessel belonged to Keyport, New jersey, EOl

and insured for $1,000. The cargo, no stated,
Office Of q notary public and had tho alleged
shipwreck noted, es required by lew. He asked
for and obtained copy Of the wreck certificate
FROM the custom house clerk and tried unsuc-
cesssully 10 get duplicate Of the paper he caus-
ed to be prepared by the notary. Tho story OF
the shipwrsck, when made known to the undpr-
writers and several ship brokers' caused an ln-
quiry 10 DO made, and the results were decidedly
puzzliny No record could be found showing
that tho schooner VIM. H . Morgan hsd an ez-
isscnce. The Patapsco Guauo Company had no
cargo of phosphate rock on the wsy from
Charleston. The insurance SCENTS never heard
of the company in which Capt Robinson ssId
his vessel was insured. The man, sitter making
his statements, could not be again found, and
the mystery could no. be cleared up. he said
he was out of money, and tn st the papers OF me
vessel and all he possessed we're lost with the
schooner"
This is evidently the same man who made a
similar report at Georgetown few dogs slnoe,

Virginians on the next Presidency
The New York Herald prints the following
as tho views of some ofthe Virginia Congress
men 10 relation TO tho mkt presidency:
Mr.. r. 4. Bcale. of tho First Vireiuia dis
trict, successor Of Beverly Douglas, says As
To 1876. | can say that tho sentiment OF my dis
trict YES decidedly against Tilden for the trie-
nal nomioatlou, and, 10 my judgment, wCul1
be more decidedly opposed to him next time.
The fact is they do not regard him as ut and
accurate representative Of their hnancial ideas
Thurman or Hendricks would be far moro
acceptable down our way for this reasoo. and |
think with either Of them wo could easily de
feat the republican nominee. Grant? Gcs,
it does look very much az it he had power
enough to force nomination at the hands Ct
the republican party, and this will force Us 10 be
very careful about our election"
Mr. John Goode, Second district-"Mr Til
den has 10 chance whatever for the nomination.
He had bis opportunity and let it slip, and the
South cannot forget this fact. II on Novcm-
Der he had issued proclamation, stating that
be had been elected aud meant to go into the
Office, he would have fouad the country and tie
democracy q. bis back. Hendricks, Thurman,
Bayard and Hancock ell have strength 10 Vir-
eiria. We shall have Grant to Eight, believe,
from TUG present luu!C2tloo, Uut VIC Gu Ueal

MIR. George G. Cabeli, Of the Fifth district,
says ~ have no hestancy in saying that my
State is anti Tiden by large msjoriry. don
know or caro- anything about tic republican
nominee"
Mr.. Randolph Tucker, of the Sixth district
II would rather not sag anything now. as my
opinions might change. But am wiling 10 say
that don't think Mr.. Tildcn will be the cauGi-
date 10 1880"
Sir. Eppa Hunton, Eighth district $50
isr IS my State is concerned the feeling is over
whelmingIy against the denomination Of Ti!deD
on grounds of policy. BE has had bis day. 1t
is too early to think of another candidate. but
many better one could be easily found East or
West. have thought up till very lately that
Grant would DO the republican nominee. but it
strikes me be, has lost ground during the past
two MONTHS"
MIR. A. l.. Pridemore, of the Ninth Virginia
District, said that among the common people
Tilden would still prove strong card, but there
were others who did not believe 10 his
adaptabiity or his financial views. When the
cipher dispatches were first sprung on Gramercy
Park there was decided feeling against Tiden,
but sioce the old gentleman has made bis vindi
cation SO clear a marked reaction in his favor
can be observed. 1t doesn't make any difference
whether they nominate GRAFT or not We can
carry Virginia 10 1880 with Tildep o. COY good

Considering the extent to which Ale1andtlans
are liable for the State debt, the people of this

that it is therefore useless to kick agaiuss the
