AUTHORIZATION JOHNSTON COSGRATU-
LATRD-GRSEHAL PLyNE-PERsONAT.

Prom Our Regular Correspondent
WAsHISGToy, October 3l.-SoW that the
Senate has adjourned very little is talked
Of except the Virginia canvass and the atti-
tude Of Republican and Democratic sena-
tors in regard to ReGdiuster appointments
by the President for your State. The Dem
ocrdts here take the liyeliest interest in
your State and legislative ticket, and gene
rally believe that both will win, but here
and there you find one who is alarmed.
This is occasioned by the reports thst meet
you at every turn that Grants resources in
the closing year Of the Confcderacy were
not more illimitsble as to men and the mu-
nitions Of war than are now those OF the
Virginia Coalitionists as to money and the
sympathy and support Of northern Repub-
leans. How much money they have / can
not say, but il is clear that they are in the
closest accord with the Republican leaders.
On the other hand, / have never seen
Democratic senators and other leaders more
bitter than they are against them, or more
anxious than they are thst Daniel shall be
elected and with him a Democratic Legisla-
ture. l am sure that II each Democratic
worker and speaker of Virginia could only
spend day here and hear how earnestly
northern, western, and southern Democrats
seek information in regard TO the canvass it
would nerve them to increased cXertions.
THE FIGHT AGAINST GENERAL MALONE AND
lis PARTY.
The fight which commenced against Cor
ham and Rlddlebergcr last session, and
was continued against the confirmation Of
Statham, the Lynchburg postmaster, will,
/ am sure, lat as long ~ the President
sends TO the Senate FOR Federal Offices in
Virginia any supporter Of General Malone
and his cause. ] say this after talking to-
day with Democratic senator's and other
/ Democrats Of national prominence. Now,
while it has been given out that certain
| Democratic senator's were more stalwart
than others, the fact IL that there
was in the recent contest no difference
OF opinion, and all were ready TO
follow the judgment OF Senator Johnston
in the matter. The senator named, know
from talk / had with him tonight, is rs
determined as Cromwell would be were he
alive and a Democratic senator OF the
/ United States, that 10 CoSiti0n officer ap-
pointed 10y President Arthur for Virginia
-hall ever be confirmed while he has the
power TO prevent II. Now, two senators,
If they had the physical endurance, could
prevent action on any nomination forever
but with one fifth Of quorum, which can
dcmanda csll Of the ayes and noes, per-
Detual filibustering becomes an easy task.
WHAT WILL BB TIE EFFECT or THIS on TIE
PRESIDENT.
In the fight over the Virginia Federal
Offices, which the recent contest fore
shadows plainly, the Democrats will be-
come more and more consolidated each
day, and they and the President will he
driven further apart. The result viii be
| that when he wants their help at pcrilous
stage OF his administration no one Will re-
spond. ! asked the western Democratic
congressman whose views / have just
given il he thought the President would
| not be able so TO harmonic his party - to
be independent Of the help Of Democrats.
"Why, bless your soul, 10. 4 year will
not clapse before recent splits in the Re
publican party will be lovc-ieasts to that
Arthur will have to deal with"
AREvIEw CT THE Session JUST OVER.
While the action OF the extra session was
important, your correspondent has to re-
cr.t that it furnished 50 little for daily
ncwsy letters, because its important events
could all lie condensed in Il Geographic
paragraph. The Senate was for nearly the
whole time in executive session, and when
this is the case the chamber-doors, all white
and solid, look as il they were scaled, and
the doorkccpers It each remind one Of the
guard at the entrance to the marble vault Of
some great digntary.
SENATOR JoHSsTON's APPOINTMENTS.
/ Senator Johnston looks frs,-rate, and
will certainly speak at Leesbuyg tomorrow.
He will address the people at Gordonsyille
Thursday, and wind up at Stanton on
Monday next, the 7th. An the information
he receives from Virginia is favorable. lie
adds that Democrats are aware Of the actiV-
itv OF their adyersaries and perfectly alive
10 the importance Of the campaign, and are
working accordingly.
I TRLRGRANs FROM VIRGINIA.
I Senator Johnston has received numerous
kilograms and letters from Virginia con-
graduating the Democrats OF the Senate on
their conduct in regard to the nomination
Of Statham.
THE NEW YORK INJECTION.
I encountered tonight New York
Democrat who correspondents look upon
a IN authority in regard to Empire State
politics. and he said, ave will certainly
elect cur ticket" l know that New York
Republicans are gloomy, and DO not talk
ike men who have hope Of success. The
indications all, in fact, point to a Demo-
cratic victory in that state; and what is
more, no one here thinks that Lord Roscoe
will she'd tears over such result. lie VIII
rather think il a righteous rtlrlDution on
those who threw him overheard at Albany.
lie can hardly be blamed.
Mt. DEZENDoRF AND TIE PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Dczendori has had quite lengthy
talk with the President, and the Virginia
political situation was o. course the theme.
What either said is not given out, but my
informant reports accurately when be says
that the representative from the Norfolk
district asserts that he was not changed in
