WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Thc Vrginians at
Washington are del GIFTED at the great Con-
servative victory at Richmond. Last night
they were eager to hear the returns, and
this morning sought the telegraphic COL
umns OF the papers early to ascertain the
result. 1 heard Major John w. Daniel
assure n party OF congressman last eve-
ming that all the cities OF the Common
wealth would 60 right except Petersburg.
the defeat Of tie party at the metropolis
OF Virginia would have had here just now
on the presidential situation; for every
political event is deemed OF Importance,
and no State has attracted more attention
for months past than Virginia.
THE PASSAGE OF THE EXPORT TOBACCO BILL
BY THE SENATE.
Senator Johnston did great work for the
tobacco.men OF Virginia to-day when he
succeeded in getting up out OF its order in
the Senate the export tobacco bill. Both
he and Senator Withers supported it with
earnestness, and were seconded by Senators
Baysrd, Herman, and Beck Mr.. Kirkwood
wanted to amend it so as to repeal the ten
cents export tax contained in the Carlisle
wbiskey bill, but the Democrats, while
willing to repeal this Objectionable tax
in separate bill, were unwilling to embar-
rass the tobacco bill by any such amend
ment. All amendments were voted down,
and the bill passed. 1t will pass the House
without trouble, as similar bill Is now on
its calendar with a favorable report from
the Ways and Means Committee. Colonel
Burwell looked as happy as the father Of
two bouncing baby boys, and had right to
feel so, for he has labored most faithfully
all the session for this bill at both ends OF
the Capitol.
THE MATERIAL FEATURES OF THE BILL.
The following section contains the mate
tation to the collector of internal revenue
OF detailed report from the inspector Of
customs, and certificate from the collector
OF customs at the port from which the
goods are to be exported that tie goods
removed from the mandatory under
bond, and described in the permit
OF the collector OF internal revenue, have
been received by the said collector OF GUS
toms, and that said goods were duly laden
on board OF foreign-bound vessel, naming
the vessel. and the said merchandise was
entered on the.outward manifest OF said
vessel, and that said vessel and cargo were
duly cleared from said port, and on the pay
ment Of the tax on deficiency, il any, the
after be, required to be given under the
provisions OF this section, shall be can
celled.
THE sUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION BILL.
The House sat until after this evening
and completed the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill in Committee of the Whole. twill
he taken up after the call Of the States on
Monday, and although "aye" and "no"
votes have been demanded on twelve OF the
amendments, the belief is that 1t will be
disposed Of and go to the Senate Tuesday.
THE RIVER AND BARDoR BILL.
The Senate Commerce Committee to-day
reported the river aud harbor bill with sew
enty amendments, most Of which are not
material 1t has increased the aggregate
amount voted by the House about Sl5O,O00.
It cuts down the appropriation for the Ken
lucky river 100000. 1t strikes from the
House bull $4,000 for Totuski creek, and
81, 800 for Urbana creek, Virginia. The
changes In the appropriations for North
Carolina are immaterial, and those for West
Virginia are increased $4,000. The appro-
priation for the James remains at $4,000.
APPROPRIATIONS FOR FORTRESS MONROE.
Mr.. Goode has worked faithfully for
Fortress Monroe and the Norfolk navy
ward. and his efforts have bee1 rewarded.
The sundry civil bill gives $4,000 for the
artillery school at Old Point. On Mr..
Goodies motion an amendment to the bill
was adopted appropriating $4,000 to con
struct timber sheds at the Norfolk navy
yard, and $4,000 to repair the wall. MIR.
Goodies amendment for $780, to repair
the public buildings at Fortress Monroe, as
stated yesterday, was, regret, ruled ont OF
order. The Congers OF the North are always
ON the lookout for whatever is located within
their States, and never fail to get their full
share when an appropriation bill OF any
kind comes before the House. am glad to
ace that southern representatives are just
as watchful now for their States, and the
river and harbor bill, for example, proves
that they know how to look out for home
and home people.
THE DEPUTY MARSHALs', SUPERVISORS, AND
ELECTORAL BILLS,
The best manager among Democratic
senstors, and one whose judgment IS ac-
knowledged by both sides to be equal TO
that OF any man In Congress, said to-day
ave ought not to fix day for adjourn
ment. but let the Republicans see that we
mean TO pass the bills relating to deputy
marshals, supervisors, and the electoral
count now on the Speakers table OF the
House II 1t takes all the summer to do IT."
A POOR CHANCE OF QUORUM NEXT WEEK
So many Republicans have gone to Chi
cago that one OF the Democratic leaders ol
the House told me tonight that he was
afraid the House next week will lind itsell
without a quorum. Appropriation bills
where there is no radical difference OF opin'
ion, can be considered without quorum
