The Republican Committee, of Fairfax
county. has declined to support the Ma
hone county ticket on the ground that they
poll 1900 votes and the Malone people only
$50, and the ticket ought to be a Republi-
can one.
Judge Rives ridicules the idea that he
intends to resign and will remain on the
bench as long as his health holds out.
The Tennessee legislature indicates by
its votes that it will pay the whole debt of
the State and fix the interest at 3per cent.
1t is now certain that there will be no
extra session Of Congress and the govern
ment may go on paying its high interest
on its bonds.
A meeting was to be held in Highland,

ulster county chairman, of all who were
willing to accept the Riddleberger blu as
final settlement of the debt.
The Washington correspondent OF the

ternal Revenue for the Alexandria dis
trict."
The Republican Executive Committees
of Portsmouth, of Norfolk city and Of
Norfolk county, have adopted resolutions
disappearing of the recent action of the
negro convention at Petersburg, in favor
of Gen. Mahone's plans, which are as fol-
lows:
Resolued, That representing as we do in
the aggregate some six thousand (6000)
Republican voters in their name we enter
our most solemn protest against The inter-
ference of Federal officials who live in th-
or parts of the State, and who claim to
represent General Malone; we feel that
the Republicans hereabouts are competent
to manage their oaoaa affairs as they have
always heretofore done, and propose dong
now.
ssListen to the old liar,'' said Virginia
Readjuster to friend in the Senate gale
ry the other day. while Senator Johnston
was speaking. "He save be is Demo-
GRAFT, when be was an old Wing and Know
Nothing.' Whereupon lady at once
turned to him and said: "You are mista-
ken, sir; he was born Democrat, reared
a Democrat and will die a Democrat. l
ought to know, as am his wife," There
was speedy retreat of the couple.
A telegram from Washington to the
Pittsburg Telegraph March Oath, says:
Rlddleberger was "a Colonel in the Con-
federate army, and is now one of the edi-
tore of the Staunton Valley "Virglnian. y
The correspondent has doubtless found out
by the late debates in the Senate who Har-
~ really is.
! Capt. John S. Wise has written letter
| in reply to one urging him to be candi-
date for Governor, before the Readjuster
convention, in which he says he is not a
candidate, but if nominated, will do his
best to make the ticket success.
When the U. S. Senate met Wednesday
morning, magnificent floral ship, sailing
upon sea of violets and roses, gift of
the ladies of Alexandria, Va, to Senator
Hill. of Georgia, ornamented that gentle
man 8 desk, and was greatly admired.
1t was accompanied with the following
note: ''These Virginia flowers, from tt e
ladies of Alexandria, are presente to Sen
ator Hill, of Georgia. as feeble testimO-
NAL on their part of their admiration of
the3brilliant manner in which he recently
exposed the corrupt bargain made by a
senator from Virginia Oh one part and the
Republican party on the other. This ship,
Senator, has not cleared from the White
House, nor is its voyage in quest of Fed
eral spoils. 1t is simply bound to tbt
Georgia Senator because he has anchored
himself in the hearts Of true Virginians

speech he has made in defence of the hon

sword of one of her own senator's which
had been treacherously pointed to pierce

The N. Y. Herald speaking of Sena-
! tor Mahone's ''great speech last Monday,
says:
On the whole the speech was a disap-
