FROM WASHINGTON,

Especial Correspondence Of the Alcx'u Gazctte1
WASHINGTON, D. c., May s. 1SS2-The
independent" movement in Texas is in as
unsatisfactory condition to those inter-
csted in it and has as poor prospect of
success rs the so-called liberal" movement
in Virginia. Mr.. Jones, the greenback
Congressman from that State, rs at present
determined, is to be its candidate for Gov
ernor. but since he has thrown Off his
democratic disguise and come out in repub-
lican colors, he has lost the support of many
who have heretofore voted for him under
the impression that on a strict party uues-
| ton he would always side with the demo-
Gratis. The republicans in the State too,
are so divided between the Davis faction on
one side and the Norton and Russell faction
OH the other that each prefer democratic
success to that of the other. 1t is probable
! that the democratic candidate will be Mr..
Ireland.
Gentlemen from Norfolk say that Mr..
Elias Guy, the democratic nominee for
Mayor of that city, is the best man that
could have been selected. He is successful
young plumber, and having passed through
years of experience in that business without
having lost the confidence and respect of
the community, will concentrate the entire
united strength Of the democrats and will,
it is supposed, rs successfully esrapc the
dangers of the Mayoralty.
Senator Johnston has received memorial
from several citizens Of Broadway, Rock
ingham county. Va, with the request that
he present it to the Senate, representing
that because Il few Of the people Of that
village thought proper to send their letters
through the postal route agent rather than
through the Mahoneite who has been made
postmaster there, Is they had a right to do.
the Office was discontinued and asking
Congress they have any redress for the
grievance under which they sulrr. Another
thing that will strengthen the democratic
cause there is the fact that the negroes of
the State, like those Of Georgia, have re-
solved to vote as one man, and have there
fore revived the color line with all its
+ dangers To the independent or republican
party in disguise.
The President and his Cabinet and the
Commerce and Appropriation Committees
Of the two houses of Congress will make Il
trip to the illuminated buoy of Alexandria
on the Tallipoosc tonight and inspect the
working of the new invention

authority of a republican Senator who said

was to he a called session Of the Virginia
Legislature but no credence is put in the
report as several Of the present members
, have accepted federal offices since the nd
5 journment, and their successors, who would
, have to be elected. would be opposed to the

, ministrator Of republican effects in that
