From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, October 3.-Judge Hughes
Is quoted as saying that Cameron will get
more white votes in Virginia than Daniel.
Now, the Judge is not q good prophet. for
ne was confident that Wells would beat
Walker, and was sure that he would get
more votes than kemper. Your canvass il
attracting much more attention, find, than
that Of either Ohio or Pennsylvania. Every
body seems to think that Daniel will be
elected, but Democrats are not 50 confident
about the Legislature. In fact, there l. a
feeling here that the Coalitionists have
given up the governorship, but hope to
secure the Legislature. and with It the
United states senator>hip, the Court OF APP
peals, the State officers &c.
GRANT TO TIE FRONT-TIIE CABINET.
WaShngtonians believe that the prc,i-
dency Of Arthur will bring General Grant
TO the front, and they regard Granti-m a,
synonym Of liberaliIy. You hear every day
on the street, that he can be- Secretary OF
War if he will only say he will take the POI
sition. Ills closest friends, however, say he
will not under any circumstances take
Cabinet position. The rumor is tonight
that Mr.. Lincoln will, on his fathers ac-
count, be certainly retained i'm the Cabinet.
There seems to be no doubt that Secretary
Hunt will DE the first Of the late Presidents
constitutional advisers 10 b" retired.
THE YORKTOWN CENTESNIlL.
There is even more interest here in -
gard to the Yorktown Centennial than ut
Richmond, and but for the death Of Prc-i-
dent Garfield Washington would have taken
q most conspicuous part in entertaining the
French visitors. | think il very certain
that President Arthur will. in response to
the Commissions invitation, participate in
the ceremonies.
