FROM WASHINGTON.

Oh ehEetle'i
WASHINGTON, D. c., October ,, lSS2.-J.
Hale Syphcr, a well-known republican poll
liciau of Louisiana, who returned here this
morning from his State, where he has been
in the interest of Senator Kellogg, who is
now Il candidate for the House of Rcpresen-
tativcs in the district once represeted by
Mr.. Acklcn, says there is no use in attempt
ing to conceal the fact that Kellogg will be
defeated The three candidates in the
district are Acklen, democrat; Kellogg,
regular republican, and Beatty, independent
republican, the latter of whom Mr. Sypher
says will be elected because the democrats
will support him in preference to their own
candidate, with whom they are disguised,
and the republican vote of the district is so
split that the democratic votes he will re-
ceive will be sufficient to elect him. Mr..
Beatty, when he comes to Congress, will
oppose the Administration because the re-
publican Congressional committee has gone
out of its way to endorse Kellogg.
Langston, the colored man who is to go
to Virginia to stump the State for Malone,
is q. S. minister to Hayti, and is drawing a
salary of 81 700 for attending to the duties OF
that position. But he has just as much right
to leave his post and stump Virginia as Z.
S. District Attorney Wise has, or as Senator
Malone had to leave his place in the Senate
for five months to '''run" the Legislature in
his State
The election in Ohio will take place to-
morrow week. Intelligence from that State
to-day is to the effect that Senator Sherman
who has recently been doing what he could
to help the republican cause has finished his
short campaign, and contesses to his friends
that he is byno means sangune of the re-
suit. Democrats say they will certainly
gain the two Cincinnati congressman, and
three or four in other parts Of the State.
There are but three Senators in the city
to-day, Malone. who lives here, and Van
Wyck, of Nebraska, and Jones, of Florida
but the latter will leave tonight.
Among the strangers in the city to-day is
General George Mason Graham, of Louis.
lana: formerly Acknowledgement of that
State.
General Malone poses before those toe
silly or too ignorant to know better, as Ia.
borer for the peoples benefit, but ii is est,
mated here by.thosc who have kept 'thc rul,
of him. that he has Melted over quarter Of
million out of his party exclusive Of the
large amount he has made on the bonds and
stocks of the State and her railroads by
means of his previous knowledge of the leg.
islation that affected their value
1t was stated in this correspondence last
Saturday that rumor was current here t.
the effect that certain Mahoneites from the
Richmond district had been here the day
before comforting with General Malone
about withdrawing Mr.. J. Amber Smith
| his congressional candidate in that district
| 1t appears that's dispatch to the same effect
but containing the names Of the parties re.
| terred to, was sent to the Richmond Dis.
patch but the truth of that dispatch being
| denied, Mr.. John Volt has teleglaphed
to the editor Of the Dispatch that he wrote
it but at the dictation of Mr. Smith 1t is
said here that this will stimulate General
Mahone's desire tosubstitute somebody else
! for his present candidate in the Richmond
district
1t is understood that District Attorne,
| Corkhill is now talking about arrcsting the
| parties whom the Star reuters ridiculously
! charged with having attempted 10 bride the
| jury in the Star route case. There is no ne
| cesslty for such IN arrest, for the parties re
| terred to are anxious to be tried in order
that they may show the character of thu
ground upon which the charges rest
Lieutenant Danenhower was put upol
waiting orders this morning. This increas
es his pay while he is on shore. He intend:
making 4 lecturing tour, and will commence
! it in Brooklyn tonight.
The political news from New York grow:
more and more cheering to the democrats
and their only fear now is that Mr.. Folger'S
long delayed acceptance of the republican
nomination for Governor may never come
Rev. Henry Ward Beccher's emphatic oppo
siton to him is another sr"e sign Of defeat
should he accept the nomination.
There was report circulating among the
Nirginians here to-day that Mr. Alexander
Hunter had been appointed to clerkshir il
the Treasury Department but it was incor.
rect.
John Wise was in the city last night, but
rs he was "booked" for Charlottesville to-day. ht
doubtless made flying visit here to draw insp
ration from the Boss. who still holds out at the
| Portland. Paul who should be at Charlottesville
with Wise, goes TO Franklin G. II. to help Sims
1t is possible OFerrall will meet Wise
