Especial Correspondence of the Alexandria dnzette
WASHINGTON d. c., september ., lso2.-
1t is said here that the action OF the repuo- 4
lcans in Prince William county, Virginia,
Yesterday, in repudiating the Malone can
didates for Congress in that. the LIST district,
and in the State at large, is only bold an
nouncement of what will be done without
such previous avowal by many republicans
in every other county in the State with re-
spcct to Capt Wise, the Malone candidate
for Congress in their respective districts.
The general impression here now, among
republicans rs well rs democrats. is that the
bottom has fallen out of Mahone's party, !
and that it will not be long before the sides
will soon fall in also,
Well informed Marylanders in this city
to-day say that Urncr the republican men,
Der from the district bounding Washington
on the North will not be renominated, but
that Hutchinson, of the Alaska Seal Skin
Company, will be nominated i'll his stead.
| They also say that in the district adjoining
the city on the South, now represented by
Chapman, democrat, the democrats will
have some trouble in selecting their nominee.
As an evidence Of the transparent deceit
and hypocrisy of even the most reputable
men in the present administration. 1t Is
stated as fact that though Hubbcll's col
lector was publicly informed by Secretary
Folger of the Treasury that he did not sane
ton such collections, the collector never
thcless went through the Treasury Depart
ment and made the clerks pay rs they did
in the departments. The Secretary could
have prevented this il he had chosen 10 do
so. but he knew that such action would
have been Objectionable TO the President and
so though he told the public that he did not
sanction the collections he allowed them 10
be eXacted
Mr.. Robert Ingersoll commenced his ar
gument for the defence in the star route
case to-day. The court room is crowded
both within and without the bar, all the
cousel being present including the Attorney
General. rufilrs and ALL and many other
distinguished lawyers. He is arguing to
prove that any one single point i'll an in
) dictment is not sustained the whole case
falls. He is making the best argument the
{ case allows, and though generally serious
y occasionally produces smile, rs he did
when having concluded what he had tC
