The Northern Correspondents on the
virginia Situation.

The correspondent Of the New York 7ri-
June telegrapbs from Richmond as follows ::
Undoubtedly General Malone fully under
st1nds the situation, and will exert his pow
erful Influence in behalf OF such action as
will command the approval Of all who are
opposed to Bourbon rule in Virginia and to
solid South. There appears to be no
prospect, however, that in any event the
Virginia Republicans will even temporarily
abandon their party organization.
The Herald correspondent says: There is
a rumor tonight that William Ii. Barnum,
chairman OF the National Democratic Com
mitlee, stated when here recently that the
President would withhold his support from
the Readiusters in the coming campaign !;
that he would not bestOw any patronage on
members Of that party, and that he would
encourage and support straight-out Re-
publican ticket. In consideration for this
negative aid to the Democrats the senators
Of that party are to support and sustain The
Administration by confirming all his aD-
pointments, and by such other means as lie
i'm their power. give this for what 1t i
worth, at the same time noting that it comes
from a creditable Democratic source.
The correspondent OF the Times says :
Indications are that the fight in the Conyen-
ton will be a very warm one. Cameron )
delegates are bent upon having him, and il
auy movement Is adopted which will defeat
their aims there is likely to be trouble.
General Malone, however, is on the ground,
ready 10 heal all differences and secure bar
mony. Should any open revolt be threlt-
ened, there Is little doubt that Malone him.
self will permit bis n9me to be used Tor the
nomination, which he can secure, 1t is con-
coded, by acclamation.

N0TTowAY.--The correspondent OF the
Inde1- appeal says: County ELECTIONS on
Thursday resulted In complete and most
gratifying triumph OF the regular Copserva'
tive nominee for clerk, Herman Jackson,
ESQ, present Incumbent, being elected by
339 majority over sampson, northern Re
publican, and the nominee OF his party.
Some OF the minor offices are still in doubt.
Vote polled In county about 100, which Is
considered a good turnout for ordinary
county elections.
NANsgMONp.-The Suffolk Herald says
There was no excitement, and the day
passed off quietly, without accident or incl
dent worthy OF note. Judge Peter Il. Prentis
was rejected clerk OF the county and cir
cult courts without opposition. -;
ALBEMARLE.-TheC Charlottesville Jcter-

The New York Papers on the Situa.
lion at Albany.

The New York Times in commenting on
the ballot at Albany says: "A more sud.
den and ruiuous collapse OF power appa'
rently so great as was that OF Mr.. Conking
even a month ago has never been seen In
our political history"
The Tribune says: "The Administra-
ton men are encouraged 10 look for an
election Of senators before adjournment.
Governor Cornell, despite his refusal to be
candidate, is regarded as the strongest
man yet named. Seine OF Mr.. Conkling's
friends profess not to have lost hope OF his
ultimate success"
II also says there are only two solutions
OF the present crisIs-first, the adjourn
ment Of the Legislature by a Conklng-
TiIden coalition; aud second, the election
of two Republicans by Republican votes.
1t does not seem credible that any Republic
can should hesitate moment as to his duty
in these circumstances. There are two va
cancles in the Senate OF the United states.
The Republican State Of New York has the
right and the power TO fill them to-day with
Republicans. II by the treacbery Of twenty
six members OF the Legislature those seats
are sold or given away, and the Republican
majority in the Senate Is thus lost for years
to come, no sufficient excuse can ever be
made for the men who shared in the act.
The Herald says: Taken as a whole, it
indicated that when the concentration does
come it is likely TO be on Governor Cornell
as one candidate and somebody OF anti
Conkling presidents as the other. For this
second place the competitors will be nu-
merous, as the tally-lists prove. Mr. De-
pew.a Mr.. Wheeler lead off for the mo-
ment, but the successful candidate Is quite
as likely TO be one whose supporters to-day
were so few rs to attract little attention.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-06-02

Mr.. RIppLEBEkoER d not only our nrst
choice for the RexdJastsr nomination for
Governor, but General MAuoSE's drst choice
as well. II we may believe The Washington
correspondent Of che Cincinnati Commercial,
who writes as follows:
He [General Malone has urged Riddle
berger 10 take the nomination., but ne does
not want It, and Mahone's next choice u
william T.. Cameron. Malone has Insisted
In every conference with his friends thai
sboever NAV be nominated for Governor,
ex. senator John r.. Lewis, Republican Re-
adiuster. shalt be selected for Lieutenant
Governor, 80 as 10 give pledge to Republic
cans and win their support Tor TIE ticket
The Readiuster leaders are 10 have con
ference at Richmond, aud " possible ar
range their ticket and platform before tue
Convention meets next Thursday. Malone
anticipates great uprising OF independents
within year or two In Georgia, Louisiana,
North Carolina, and Tennessee, Ia case nus
PARTY carries the State election In virginia"
So the General prefers that two OF his
ticket shall be men known 10 be acceptable
TO the Republicans. Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER Is
the Republican nominee for Sergeant-at'
Arms OF the United States Senate, and Mr'
LgwIs is a Republican infuS Ell in cute
That's good policy. The Republicans have
got TO furnish the votes. and it Is but ia'i
that they should furnish one or Two OF Inc
candidates.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-06-02

WE SECOND TIE NoMINATIoN.-Tb state
recommends Mr.. W. G.. ELAN as tue Re-
adjusier nominee for Governor. We second
the nomination. II a man ever earned
nomination for office, Mr.. ELAN has earned
one at the hands of the ReadjusterS. His
supposed iucligibility need not be consid-
cred. II elected, he cannot take his seat
before January; and ii he is elected, his
party will carry the Legislature, and that
body can remove his disabilities in Decem-
Der. The Democrats will unite in the vote.
So there is no difficulty 10 the way. We
have in another column, as we have done
before, DECLARED RDDLrBERGER to be our
first choice. He is an editor, toe. But
ELAN has superior claims even to his. In
fact, it is time that the Richmond editors
were on. strike; and il ELAN is over
slaughed, we shlll try TO get up strike III
the fraternity. OF course, however, II he
Is nominated, we shall do all that we can to
defeat him. All we ask for him Is fair
show-a nomination.

The MAY No. OF SOUTHERN HISTORICAL
SOCIETY PAPERS is no departure from the
high standard OF excellence which this adj
mirable historical magazine has maintained.
Professor W. w. FOYTATNE's paper on
the Descent OF General K. h. Lee from
King Robert the Bruce OF Scotland"
which was read some weeks ago before the
Louisville branch Of the Southern Histori-
cI Society, and excited good deal OF in
terest and comment at the time, is given in
full, and is exceedingly well done. 1t does
not, OF course, add to the fame OF LEE to
prove that he is Of royal descent Qor in all
the attributes which 90 to make up true no.
bilty OF character he was in himself very
king Of men); but it is Of curious interest
to trace his lineage back TO the heroic
BRUCE, and the paper will excite wide at
tentiou.
Judge Ii. W. BRUCE, Of Louisville, whom
many OF our readers remember as the
courteous and accomplished gentleman who
represented his district in the Confederate
Congress, contributes very entertaining
paper on "Reminiscences of the I'd Of
April, 1865"
The secretary gives full description Of
the unvcling OF the JACKSON statue at New
Orleans.
JOHN c. BUTLER, OF Macon, Ga, gives a
very interesting paper on the "Origin OF
the Lone STAR and Coat farms of
Texas" in which be shows that it originated
with Miss TRoUIMAN, OF Georgia.
Major PAUL #. HAMMOND contributes
the first of several interesting and valuable
papers on General KIRBY SMITHS campaign
into Kentucky in 1862.
DR.. j. WILLIAM JONES, in his paper No.
4, "reminiscences OF the Army Northern
Virginia" gives a description OF JACKsoN's
capture OF Winchester and the rout OF
+" SToNEwALL's Quartermaster," General
BANKS.
Then follow interesting and valuable re-
ports on "Cavalry Operations in North
Alabama," by General S. ID. LEE, and SEX
petition to Pine Bluff" by General MAR
MADuKE. Editorial Paragraphs and Lilera-
~ Notices complete the No.
The Secretary is vigorously agitatiDg the
question OF permanent endowmeutfor the
southern Historical Society, announces
some encouragement in bis effort, and
says: "We need and must have an en-.
dowment. Who will help us?"
surely the men aud women who can and

THE NsGeoEs.--T Richmond corre-
spondent OF the Petersburg Appeal has
been told how the negroes were kept out OF
the State Convention which meets to-day.
lie says:
"That the negroes will have no show in
the Convention there can be no doubt. An
aspirant for the goyernorship assured me
that in the counties where that race have a
majority IL had been SO managed as TO send
them as alternales."
And OF course the alternates cannot claim
seats In the presence OF the delegates.
1t may bc assumed. therefore, as settled
that on the ticket to be nominated to-day
.he negroes will have no place assigned 10
one OF their race. II they are so fortunate
as TO secure tbeir recognition either pros
pectiyely or presently, they will please re-
port the fact at this Office. We should like
to know what offices they are to have.
But that "aspirant for the Goyernship,"
il his name transpres, will not get the votes
of many Of the negro delegates.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-06-02

The New York Tribune says: "The
Republicans OF Virginia outnumber the Re.
ad1usfefs more than twofold, being very
lilile inferior In strength to the Bourbons.
II is for them, therefore, to lay down the
manner and the terms Of any scheme for
Joint action which may seem advisable TO
pursue against the common enemy. The
Republican party in Virginia must retain
It's organization intact and Its relations with
the party OF the nation, and must also abide
by the Republican doctrine OF honesty in
finance, or II will cease to be Republican"
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat says: We
predict that Mr.. James q. Blaine will not
be member OF the Cabinet when Congress
meets IN December,

Washington Republican.
The foregoing is another proof that COR

get the Administration patronage in Vir-
GINA. Let the Republican Readjusters
look out. We noticed yesterday on Broad

Honest Money.

We trust that General MALONE will not
forget "honcst money" when he constructs
his platform. We would be charmed 10 see
q resolution adopted declaring In favor OF the
existing nationai.bank system and against

with greenbacks. There are so many OF the

hwouid seem TO be indispenssbly necessary
That he should silence them and CRAFTY the
hepuhliean Re&diusters by adopting So
much OF the national Republican platform
rs Is requisite to satisfy the Republican adj.
yocates OF honest money. Indeed. we do
not see how the Republicans can consist.

to come out for the banks and for honest
money. II they are on Mr.. GARPIELD's
and Mr.. BLAINE's platform they cannot be
greenback luhatics; and they should make
It clear to the Administration that in going
for General MAHoNE's nominees they are
not going for unlimited greenbacks.
And how can any Republican be expected

The Political Situation from "a Wash
ingtOn Standpoint.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Times says:
Conkling is regarded here as a desperate
man, who will avail himself Of any possible
opportunity to get back to the Senate, even
II he has TO come, with Democratic col
league, as an Independent senator.
THE sTALwARTs GREATLY MORTIFIED.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun says: The very feeble sup
port received by Mr.. Conkling in the New
York Legislature to-day is the cause OF
great modification to bis friends, and Of
surprise TO his opponents, who had not
dreamed how weak he really was. IL is
% morally considered here that II Mr.. Conk-
ling ever had any chance for reelection, be
has none whatever now, and the most
ignonnions defeat is predicted for him.
The President and Mr.. Blaine are, OF
course, delighted, and are now quite
confident of the election OF two out
and-out Administration senator's. Some
of the shrewdest and most expert
enced politicians predict that this blow
will be the end OF Mr.. Conkling's political
mower, and that in no future contingency
can he get back into the Senate. But others,
who ale well acquainted with Nh. Conkling,
say that he is not one 10 abandon such
fight as be has on hand, aud that, although
he may be defeated for RE ection now, he
will continue to take a band in the Repub.
lican politics Of New York, and will be
bound to make his influence felt appre-
Gladly.
THE VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS WILL HOLD
CONVENTION.

Washington The Republicans will GER
taiuly hold Il convention, but probably not
