Some anxiety Is experienced here about
the election held in Portland, Oregon, Tues
day. The Republicans have majority
there of about seven or eight hundred, and
as the Democrats are unable to overcome
that, they ran an independent ticket, which,
il successful Tuesday, will go far toward
securing the county in which Portland is
located to the Democrats, and, with its ten
members OF the Legislature, make certain
the election OF a Democratic successor 10

MAHOYEITEs AT WASHINGTON.
The correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Times SAYS: About thirty delegates from
various sections OF Virginia, ostensibly
representing the Republicans Of all stripes
in that State, are here. They came 10 con-
suit as 10 the course TO be adopted in the
coming canvass whereby party relation:
might be readjusted and an harmonou:
| front presented 10 the Democracy. Thi;
delegation was reported 10 have been
chosen from every congressional district In
| Virginia for the express purpose OF har'
monizing existing difficulties. By co.
incidence which may appear somewhat
singular the members Of the delegation are
all Roadiusters. BY another coincidence,
they make The same report that no regular
Republicans, to any alarming extent, exist
in their respective neighborhoods. The
delegation is 10 hang around here until the
Presidents return, in order to impress this
fact OH him and induce him to wipe out
what little regular Republican party there
Is in Virginia and begin again on the basis
offered by Malone and reputation. This
Is to counteract the straightouts OF few
days ago. The meeting here was called be-
fore it was known that Garfield was out OF
town.
COMPLAINTS OF DISABLED SOLDIERS.
The correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Press states that the disabled volunteers at
the Hampton (Va.) branch OF the National
Home complain Of the management OF Colo
mel Woodfn, the superintendent. Under
the law the pensions TO which they are enti-
tied are paid TO the treasurer, to be dis
bursed for their benefit. One OF their CON-
plants is that they are paid In checks that
are only received by the sutler or trader at
the Home, where they are subject TO over
charges. Several OF the former inmates are
detained 10 Washington by the superin-
tendenrs refusing 10 send their discharges,
on the ground that they are deserters; so
that they cannot receive the arrears due
them.

says: Hundreds OF dollars are paid out
