National Politics.

Not member of the Virginia delega-
ton IN Congress favors Tilden. Beale
says he ''would lose Virginia" Gen. Joe
Johnston SAYS the same. Cabell thinks he
couldn't carry Virginia under any cir
cumstances.'' Tucker thinks .the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Tilden would be suicidal"
Harris thinks that with Mr.. Tilden the
state would be absolutely lost to the
Democratic party" Hunton thinks that
the nomination of Tilden would lose Vir-
ginia and ''endanger five other Southern
states.'' Richmond thinks ''Tilden can
not run in Virginia atall," and Senator
Withers thinks that Tilden's nomination
would ''jeopardize Virginia." Senator
Johnston was not in Washington and his
opinion was not gotten. The congress-
men from Louisiana and Mississippi speak
the same way for those states.
The city election in Keokuk, Iowa, was
carried by the Democrats, Monday, for
the first time for years. One of the rea-
SONS for this victory telegraphed was that
the s'large negro vote was neutraliZed. >
This sounds like an election telegram from
the South rather than from the North
west. a
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore "Sun" says that sOn,e weeks
ago Geo. q. Gorham, the friend of Gen.
Grant, went to Richmond and had an in
terview with Gen. Malone and that on
Gen. Mahone's recent visit to Washington,
Gorham was one of the prominent Repub-
licans with whom he had conferences.
Hon. J. Muellar, Republican, eALieut.
Governor. after careful survey of the po-
litical situation in Ohio, and special inves-
pressed the opinion that if Grant is nomi-
mated the State will give Democratic
majority of $4,000 to $4,000.
Erie county, Pa, has elected a divided
delegation to the Democratic State Con-
vention, three of the five delegates favor
ing Mr.. Tilden. The convention passed
resolution favoring the State sending an
uninstructed delegation to Cincinnati.
Of the % members of the Georgia Dem
ocratic COMMITTEES, which met at Atlanta.
Monday, were for Thurman. 8 each for
Bayard, Hancock, Hendricks and Field, l
for Tilden, l for Pendleton, and for the
nominee.
Republican primaries in Missouri indi-
cate that Grant will have solid delega-
ton from that State at Chicago.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Leader" an in
fuential daily newspaper, is out for Blaine.
It has been for Grant all along.
A canvass of the Minnesota Democratic
State Committee shows the following
ing presidential preferences: for Hancock,
one vote; for anybody but Tilden, one
vote; no choice. five votes.
Democratic primaries were held at
Utica, New York. Saturday, to select del
egates to the regular State Convention,
and resulted in the election Of representa-
tives opposed to Mr.. Tilden. Utica is
the home of Seymour, and many of the
delegates were instructed in his interest

Spring at last seems to have opened up

Auditor Massey has notified the collec-
tors Of the Revenue not to receive tax
receivable coupons in payment Of the one
fifth of the property and the capitation
taxes set aside by law for public schools.
The result will be that case will be made
up and go to the Court of Appeals which
has long ago decided that coupons are re-
ceivable for all taxes. The late Auditor
Taylor, it will be remembered, was re-
strained by the Court and made to receive
the coupons and the present one will have
the same experience. It is hard to see
what can result from Mr.. Massey's course
except an agitation which does not appear
to be unwelcome to him.
If he lives long enough and his party
aids in electing Republican Con-
gress and President, he will see something
even more disagreeable to him and his fel.
low Readjusters than writ from the Vir-
GINA Court of Appeals-he will see new
laws Of congress and writ from the U.
S. Supreme Court requiring him to receive
the coupons and comply with the contract.
Anyhow that is the drift of all the Repub-
Ican legislation and judicial decisions OF
the day. State rights are not apt to stand
between the creditors and the legislation
of the future which, if Republican, is not
likely to be adverse to the "bloated bond
holder"

The ''Sorgo Hand Book'' published by
the Blymer Manufacturing Company, of
Cincinnati, is received. Its main intent
is an advertisement, but it contains a
large amount of information about grow

mitted and the prize was awarded to Chas.
Ghiselin, of Norfolk, Va, member of
the senior class in Union Theological Sem
mary, at Hampden-Sidney. Its subject is
the character of Christ as an evidence of
