CADIz, O., July 19.-The Republican, to-

Hollingsworth, declining to permit the
further use Of his name as candidate for
Congress in the Seventeenth district. His
letter concludes as follows:
1.-THE recent canvass, so far as 1 know,
was conducted by my friends in this spirit,
and shall ever remember with feelings
of pride and gratitude the voluntary sup
port they gave me, upintuenced as they
we're by promises or other unworthy con-
siderations.
'The substantial and fattering increase
of my vote in the late convention is also
matter of special qualification.
"Now, however, although / have the
most positive reinsurance from old friends
and from many new ones, l am unable to
satisfy myself that any further effort in
my behalf will be conducive to the
best interests of the Republican party
in the district. The principles of the
party are, or should be- paramount TO the
interests of any individual member. No
personal ambition, either OF the candidates
or of their friends, should be permitted to
stand in the way Of party success: Office
is not the sole end OF an honorable life.
The next Convention must be harmoni-
GUS, and, for one, l cannot willingly add
to its possible distraction. On the contra
~, l shall cheerfully forego all hope OF
present preferment, and shall do my full
share as heretofore toward the election of
any good man whom the Convention may
nominate. My friends will therefore do
me favor by no longer regarding me as a
candidate. In Withdrawing from the can
vass for the sake of harmony, l make no
reflections against any of the candidates
who see proper to remain in the field; con-
scious of my own personal rectitude, |
impute no unworthy motives or actions to

WASHINGTON, July 19.-It is stated, Ton
what is considered good authority, that it
is the Presidents intention to veto the
River and Harbor Appropriation bill.
II Arthur is the politician he has the
repbutltion of being, however, he.willlnot
seek personal advancement in this direc-
ton. He will, perhaps, find from short
review of the political history Of the past
that Democratic President lost his head,
and a Democratic party its supremacy
by the vote Of just such
q bill as this. Moreover, the policy of
large appropriations to rivers and harbors
marks as distinct an issue between the
Democratic and Republican parties as any
other public question. 1t is to its policy
in this matter as much as any other that
the Republican party owes its supremacy,
and to which the Democratic party owes
its deposition from the control OF
the Government. A free use Of
the public purse in all directions is car
dinal rule in Republican politics as against
retrenchment and reform as the most prom
inent plank in Democratic politics.
Moreover il will not be forgotten that
one of the first messages by which Arthur
sought to curry public favor after his in
stalment IN the executive chair was to re-
commend the appropriation OF S6,O00,OO0
for the improvement OF the Mississippi. II
he does not sign the river and harbor bill
il will be not because it appropriates too
much but Omits to appropriate enough.

A sharp Fight for the Nomination Be

From an Occasional Correspondent
CHARLEsrowN, JEFFERSON COUNTY, July 10.
Politics in this end of the State is begin
ming to warm up. The greatest interest is
manifested in the Congressional fight
wkich has taken lively turn. Judge Hoge
and Hon. D. B. Lucas are the only candi-
dates for the nomination thus far announced.
Mr.. Lucas and his friends claim that an
agreement was made al the Fairmont con-
yention in which Judge Hoge pledged HIM
self not to be candidate against Mr.. Lucas
''this time" in consideration OF which the
Lucas delegates were turned over to Judge
Hoge and Hon Ben. Martin was "scooped"
Judge Hoge denies that he accepted any
such proposition. He says the proposition
was made to him. but he declined to accept
il. Thus the matter stands, and is likely
to bring out an animated discussion pro
an con. The friends of both candidates are
earnest and active, and while Judge Hoge
seems to be in the lead, the result is still
doubtful. The bitterness Of the fight has
suggested the probability of dark morse.
and in this county the name OF Hon. T.
Boyd Faulkner has been suggested as
probable candidate in case of a failure to
hsrtnonize on either of the two prominent
gentlemen now in the field. Mr.. Faulkner
has taken no part in the fight between
