senntor Johnston's Successor.

1t is generally supposed that Capt. Harris
Riddleberger will be elected to the United
States Senate to succeed Senator John
ston the present incumbent, Democrat
whose term expires March A, 1882. This
supposition is far from n certainty. 1t is
understood that Malone is in favor of ex'
Senator Lewis, the present lieutenant'
governor-elect, for that position, and that
Cameron also favors him for the office.
DIR. w. Douglas, of Northern Neck, who
is prominent Republican in Virginia, and
has been very active in the campaign, OK
presses himself assured that Lewis-not
Riddleberger-will be elected to the Senate
Another prominent Virginia Republican to-
day offered to bet one thousand dollars on
Lewis against any other name that would
be mentioned.
The name of Riddlebcrger will be pre-
sented again for the Sergeantcy-a ol
tho Senate, and by many it is believed
that since the favorable result of Mahonet
fight in the State that he will be elected.

The murder of Charles p. Miller, the
king of the gamblers of New York, on
Monday night by VIM. Tracey, equally
notorious, was the result of feud originat-
ing in a drunken quarrel last spring.
Tracey was the keeper of drinking saloon,
and Miller and number of his sporting
friends becoming drunk and noisy, he told
them he did not want their patronage or
company. Miller fired three shots ut Tracey,
inflicting wound in his thigh. On Mon
day night Tracey went into another saloon,
where Miller was, and opening the door,
pointed pistol at Miller's breast, saying !:
l have come here to kill you" The ball
penetrated Miller's abdomen. He attempted
to draw his pistol and fell, uttering exca-
nations of pain and anger. He died before
he could be taken to the hospital. Tracey
is in custody. Miller was the son of a
county officer in Texas. He began his
business life by selling papers, &C., on rail
roads running out of New Orleans in
which occupation he began to act us
"steerer' for several notorious gambling
places there. He afterward started Skin
game of his own, but was obliged to give
it up and quit the city about six years ago
having cheated Congressman out of &c.,
900. His reputation in New York has been
that of gambler, bunco- player and conf
dcncc man. In the latter he excclled.

MIR. Mortimer's New Play.

The following tribute to an American
playwright is from the London Times Mr..
Mortimer is n brother of Mr.. l.. s. Morti-
mer of the Post-onicc Department, in this
city: A new comedy in four acts, adapted
by Mr. james Mortimer from the Vieur
Gdrcons of NJ. Victorien Sardou, and entitled
Reclaimed" has been produced at the Hay
market Theatre with every sign Of success.
Considerable alterations have been made by
the adaptor, and the motive OF the new
play and its dialogue differ in many re-
spects from those of the original Enough
that is French remains in the early acts to
render them scarcely suited to the English
public. So soon, however, as the strong
situation of the third act is reached the SUI
perb acting of Mr. Hermann Vein and the
support afforded him by Mr.. Dacrc and
other members of the company stir thor
oughly the public and bring about COM
pletc success. Concerning the story it is
enough to say that the vices of a middle
aged roue bring him under the rcbuke of
his son who is ignorant Of the relationship
complete act of penitence he wins
the forgiveness of youth whose
manlincss and heroism he cannot but
admire. Around this example of selfish.
ness are grouped other characters of a
similar stamp, and the edifying lesson is
read that married life is wholly superior to
single. The great merit Of the entertain
ment consists in the acting which is excel
lent. Mr.. Vein has never shown q finer
piece Of acting than he exhibits as the
father. From first to last his performance
was inimitable and indispensable. Mr..
Dacre was thoroughly manly and sym
pathetic as the son, and Mr.. Alfred Bishop
reappearing on the regular stage in n
wonderful makeup, acted fairly us an old
| fop pretending to be still young, and Mr..
Harry st. Maur assigned great individuality
to a small part; Miss ]. Clifford, as vapor.
GUS lady, carrying on what may be called d
Platonic intrigue, gave an admirable study
Of character, and Miss Lydia Cowell was an
ingenue; Miss Lotto Venue, Miss Dore
Miss Taylor, Messrs. Shelton, Smedley
Weathersby and Fawcett were all excellent
and the performances, whether as regarded
ensemble or the result of individual char
acters, deserved the highest praise. A dis
tinct success has been scored.
