Now for Virginia.

The democratic discOrds In New York having
been settled. the democratic managers are now
turning their attention to the next knotty prob
lem-,he healing of the party quarrel In yIr
gin1a, which has reached point OF soreness
that seriously threatens to give the state to
the republicans In November. 10 the case OF
New lork, IL Is understood that the imperative
word requiring that a settlement should be
made OF the quarrel In the interests of the cleo.
toral ticket came direct from Gen. Hancock,
and was addressed more particularly to the
"regular" or anti Tarnmany democratic organ
fzation. II Is intlmated now that similar
word has gone out from Governors Island to
the democrats OF Virginia, and more directly to
the division calling themselves the regulars
or funders. IL would appear that they have
been notified that the quarrel has been permit
ted to run on until the electoral vote OF the
state for Hancock Is endangered and that
stop must row De put to such fooliShneSs
IL Is reported that aStute agents from the New
York democratic inner councils have been sent
to Virginia and have been for some days active

electoral ticket between the funders and re-
adjusters, even should it;be necessary for the

Malone, who evidently fears that he Will never
be able to rally his party again II 1t abandons
Its distinctive organization and its electoral
ticket this year. This report gets confirmation
from the following in the Richmond correspond
ence or the Baltimore sun OF to-day:
IAN important correspondence aas been going
on for several days between Mr. A. kOtner, OF
Augusta county, the chairman of the regular
democratic state committee and Gen. William
Malone the chairman OF the readjuSter CON-
mittte and the recognized leader OF that wing
In this state. IL is understood from the very
best authority, or what at least purports to De
such, that this correspondence has resulted In
an understanding that Gen. Malone Is to In
vite MI. koiner'5 committee TO meet his here on
October 18th, when some course Will be adopted
which Will withdraw one OF the electoral tickets
now in the field. 1t Is stated by those who are
acquainted with the correspondence, or claim
TO be. that Malone refused TO entertain any
proposition which embraced In It's conditions
the withdrawal or any OF the names on his cleo
toral ticket or IL any other way tended to make
the reaGjuSter party lose Its Individuality. The
correspondence may DC made public In few
days.
prominent member OF the New York bar,
AID gentleman welLknOwn in this state for
hts elOQuence and legal acumen, has been here
and In Petersburg for the past ten days. during
which time he has had frequent Interviews
with Malone and the leading democrats, very
probably with the desire OF accomplishing some
compromise between the two wings. The re-
ad1usters say that the conference will result ia
the withdrawal OF the regular ticket, aud the
reason that will be assigned for that course
will be the broad and high grounds OF pure and
disinierested patriotism; believing that, al
though that wing have a majority. they would
not longer jeOpardiZe the state for Hancock ON
local issues. Ii cannot be denied that the re-
adJusters are full OF hope and defiant. Whether
fe1gned or not, the conference agreed on seems
TO have no terrOrS for them. Major n. Nj.
Meade, OF Culpeper, one OF the readluster cleo
tors, has been here for several days and was
consulted by Malone In regard to the cores
pondelce received from the chairman OF the
state democratic committee.
