WASHINGTON, April 22.-Thc Rcadjuster-
Republicans in Washington wear long
faces to-day. The anticipated adjournment
OF the Virginia Legislature without the
passage OF their proposed measures fills
them with disappointment and alarm.
They feel that their hold on the Admistra-
ton is weakened very much by their fail
ure to so arrange the congressional dis
trictS in the state as to secure a coali-
ton representation in Congress. Be-
sides this, many Of them have private
reasons for deploring their want of
success with the Legislature. The
Reorganization OF the Circuit Courts
and the appointment Of county commissions
ers for the sale Of lands throughout the
State would have furnished many fat offices
for that party. md tllU>e WIlU Were ,-,l,oet
ing a reward in that direction must now
seek il in Washington. The result will be
n greater pressure than ever here, and cor
responding increase OF discomfort on the
part of disappointed oflice-scekcrs. The
National Republican this morning. i'm q
two-column article, bewails the situation
and lays The blame on ga senator named
Williams" declaring that hut for him the
Rc;idiuster- Republicans would have Sc
cured eight out Of the ten congressman to
be elected next fall.
PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
The fight in Virginia being thus virtually
ended, politicians here are now turning
their eyes towards PENNSYLVANIA as the
next centre Of political attraction. The
situation there is by no means satisfactory
10 the Administration. President Arthur'S
course in handing over the patronage due
that state TO Senator Cameron has given
offence 10 the anti-CamerOn faction. In
addition to this, Senator Mitchell, who en-
tered the Senate inclined to preserve ncu-
trality between the sections OF his party, is
dissatisfied with the share OF patronage
that has been accorded him, and the oppc-
nents of the CamcronS think it likely that
he will hereafter act with them in
opposition TO the senior senator. They say
that Senator Cameron will not be able to
hold the party together with the vise-like
grasp Of his father and that Mitchell,
WAYNE MacVeagh, Bayne. and the other
IIalf-Brced leaders will be able to form
combination that will shake ii it does not
topple over the dynasty OF the Camcrons.
TO candid observer the odds seem TO be
against them, hut there is no doubt that
there will be a bitter conflict in Pennsyl-
vania for the control OF the party in that
state. This domestic feud will OF course
greatly strengthen the Democracy there,
and Pennsylvania Democrats look forward
with sanguine hopes to the fall elections.
NEW YORK.
The discomfort known is not confined to
Pennsylvania. New York also rembles
in the balance. The President and Gov
ernor Cornell are known to be at cross
purposes, and though they have not yet
come to open hostilitieS, their partisans are
less discreet, and there is already firing on
the picket-lne.
TIE WEST.
The West, too, i not a tranquil rs the
Administration wouldwish it. The friends
of the dead President out there are indig-
nant at the manner in which his successor
has used the power placed in his hands by
an assassin; and their Indignation finds fun
vent in the Half-Breed press OF that Sec
ton. Notably, the Chicago Tribune, the
leading Republican paper Of the North
west. openly announces It's reprobation OF
the methods Of the President and it, oppo-
,ition to hi, nomination for a second term.
