A BITTER CONTROVERSY.

LIVELY CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN TWO WELL
KNOWN VIRGINIA GENTLEMEN.
Mr.. r. Ii. Glass. Jr.. manager and junior proprietor
of the Petersburg (va.) Post, is wagng bitter
troversy with William L. Hinton, Virginia State
senator In the correspondence just published Mr..
Glass alleges that on the 4th OF last November Mr..
Hinton made a speech in the Petersburg Academy
of Music, which was afterward revised and
printed in pamphlet form and circulated throughout
the State charging in effect that the editor of the
deeply i'll debt and that he used the columns
of his journal for personal and malicious purposes
Mr. Glass, Jr., sent reply to a Richmond paper,
which was declined, as the editor did not wish to
take part in the controversy On January II the
Young man printed the .'repiy" in his own paper
and among other things he SAID that Hinton was in
debt and did not pay. The article closed with these

The movement to form General Committee SO as

posed to Tammany, and the attempt the part of

II feel confident that something is going to he

give the points TO in the order which Will lead
you perhaps to entertain my opinions on the matter
II. Mayor Cooper undoubtedly represents the
anti Tammany democracy as one of its leaders, and
he not only sympathized with the movements to
capture the Tainmany Society and to form general
committee out or all the anti-Tammany elements,
but he has largely assisted i'll both. The men en-
gagged in these movements are among the principal

- There is general cry raised by the democratic
leaders in favor OF union OF all the eencnts of the

Governor Robinson is in favor of IL, and several in-
formal propositions as to how it should be brought
about have been made to him.
a. Mayor Cooper is, believe at loggerheads with
General Chester A. Arthur regard to certain ap-
pointments, and especially In reference to the re-
moval of Mr.. Lindsay l. Howe from his position as
Commissioner of Accounts, although his retention
was requested, as Mr.. Howe himself says, by Sena-
tor Conkling General Arthur and other lights OF the
republican party.
'.5. All these facts, TO my mind. indicate that
compromise will be made with the anti-Tammaiy
leaders. don't how II could be possible for the
head of the Tammany organization to cooperate
officially as Comptroller with Mr. Cooper as Mayor
during Office hours. and both gentlemen in the even
ing go to their respective headquarters To fight each
otner politically. Mr.. Cooper can hardly afford, in
my view, to remain in isolated position. in which
he may have the enmity Of General Arthur on the
one hand and of John Kelly on the other.
Then, again, look VI the trouble the Tammany
people had with Nelson J. Waterbury when he tried
10 capture the Tammany Society some years ago.
At that time the vote was comparatively close and
Comptroller Kelly barely obtained sufficient support
to win the fight. Mr.. Waterbury aud his friends
then developed an smount OF strength that was not
expected by their opponents"
