The Washington correspondent of the Ale:

The washington correspondent OF The Alex
andria Gazette says:
1t is understood here that General Malone
has issued circular to his captains in all the
counties, towns and cities in Virginia, direct
ing them to assemble in Richmond on the 22d
inst. for consultation with reference to the
organization OF his defeated forces for the next
campaign. 1t is also stated that by the recent
assessment made by the assessors appointed by
the readjuster judges, the valuation Of proper
ty has been SO reduced that the tax Of fifty
cents on the one hundred dollars of it will be
utterly insufficient to pay the interest on the
public debt, and that either the tax must be
raised or the amount of the debt be reduced,
and that as the former is prohibited the latter
must be done.

The Decline of Russia,

Hon. j. W, Foster United States minister
at st. Petersburg, in communication to the
State Department, dated September %, gives
some interesting facts in relation to the nation
al finances, the grain trade and the general
condition of Russia. He says that the imports
into Russia are largely in excess of the exports
and that the government finances are by no
means in a satisfactory condition, deficit be-
ing annually reported, and the country labor
ing under forced paper currency more than
30 per cent. below par, with tendency to
greater depreciation. The exports of the lead
ing cereals for the first six months of 1880
We're only 7255S, 500 bushels, against 104, 49,
Sls for the same period in 1879. The business
OF the railways shows falling off Of 81 900 900
or IL per cent, while depression is felt in
nearly all industries. The remedy for all this,
suggested by writer in the ST. Petersburg
Journal, is the building of more railroads, i'm
provement of navigation, and so cheapening
and facilitating transportation as to enable the
Russian grain producers to compete success
fully with America and Australia

As General Receiver of the Circuit Court am very
ten directed to loan money real estate security.
In making loans, well for my own protection as

1t is of course, of the utmost Importance that the

A RASH RIDE TO DEATH-On Tuesday last
when the Southern bound passenger train
arrived at Greenville, 5. c., the body of and
old, grsy-haired man was found on the pilot,
seated on a saddle, stone dead. He was recog-
nized as George Martin, a cotton planter.
About his neck was string, to which was at
tached the handle of a jug, emitting strong
smell of corn whiskey. The engineer saw the
man on horseback attempt to cross the track
what had become of the man was not known
till the train reached Greenville The whiskey
jug handle explains the rashness of the unlucky
man.

THE NEW APPORTIONMENT

The states of Maryland, North
Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee
will each lose one member Of con-
gress under the new census, making
loss of four votes for the South.
The states of Arkansas, South Caro-
Ina and Missouri each gain one,
and the state Of Texas gains four
mbers, making Il Southern gain
of seven votes. The remainder OF
the Southern states will remain as
they are now represented--not hav.
ing made sufficient advance in popu-
lation to make any gain in congress-
1t will therefore be seen that while
four Southern states have lost four
members, four Southern states have
gained seven, making a clear gain
Of three votes tor the Southern
states, which is equal, in the house
of representatives and the electoral
college each, to an absolute gam OF
six votes.--(Iazette.
