WASHINGTON, D. c., November l0.-The
Virginia Democrats are badly cut up at
the election Of Cameron. They predict
that the Readjusters and Republicans in
the Legislature will fall out over the election
OF U. s. Senator; that Malone pledged Lew
is the Senatorship il he would consent to let
his name be used on the Readjuster State
ticket, and that Lewis consented on this
condition, and he holds the Readjusters as
bound to make him Senator Cameron,
Riddleberger and Auditor SIassie, all prom.
inent Readjusters, want to be Senator, and
will make efforts to be elected. The Dem.
oCrats hope and believe that the Republi-
cans and Readjusters will full out over this
position. II they disagree the Democrats
will propose to elect Governor Wickham,a
straightout Republican, II the Republican
members OF the Legislature will unite with
them. The Democrats will gladly elect
Republican 10 beat the Readjustes, and it
is thought that the national leaders OF the
Republican party would, in view OF the
narrow margin In the Senate, advise the
election Of WiCkham rather than have
Coalitionist Senator.

SECRETARY WINDOWS REPUSDryo OPERATIONS
Secretary Windom's refunding opera
tions are entirely completed, few OF the
remaining suspended cases having been
disposed OF. The total amount OF bonds
continued at 81 per cent is$570, 500 $50 and
$4,000, nearly $1,000 being for paper and
printing the bonds, and for all other ex.
penses, including the cost Of making the
exchanges OF about iorty.hve millions OF
bonds in London, s. ,400OS; this makes the
expense Of continuing each million dollars
OF bOndsabout $l7S 81. Mr.. Window says his |
refunding operations will result In much
greater saving to the Government than
would have been effected by tho refund.
ing measures OF tho last Congress, for
the following reasons: The bill passed by
Congress appropriated one.quarter OF one
per cent for expenses, the refunding Of
which would have amounted TO 81 ,4iS,000,
as against less than $4,000 by his plan. A
part Of the refunding measures Of Con.
gress, and In order to induce the banks to |
accept the three per cent bond, bill
passed the Senate unanimously repealing |
the tax on bank deposits, which would
have reduced the annual revenues OF the |
Government $G,560, ,4S6, as shown by the |
receipts OF 1880. The House Committee |
on Ways and Means Of last Congress, for
like reasons, reported iavorably the
bill repeating the tax on bank |
deposits, and also on two cent stamps,
tax on bank stamps, drafts and orders,
amounting in the aggregate to $S,G76,600.
This sum, added TO One.quarter OF one per
cent for the expenses Of the three per cent
reiunding measure amounts to $40, 500.
The difference between three and one-half
and three per cent bonds on the entire
amount OF bonds refunded Is $3.50, 800 per
annum, which, deducted from the total OF
$40, l2j, 800 as above stated, shows an advRn.
tage to the Government for the first year OF
81, ,227,709 by Secretary WINDOWS opera
tions. The refunding measures pro.
posed by the last Congress, and
as II was proposed by the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means would reduce
the annual revenue derived from banks
SS,O 800, in order TO induce the banks to.
take the three per cent bonds at three and
one.hRlf per cent. The plan OF Secretary
Window shows permanent advantage OF
$5,777, $3.50 per Annum to the Government
over the measure proposed by the Ways
and Means Committee In the last House OF
Representatives Another advantage this
measure has over that proposed by Con.
gress Is that the loan Is payable at the dis.
CretiOn OF the Government, and hence may
be paid at any time that the Government
has funds, whether it be this year or
hundred years hence. fI 4
