FROM RICHMOND

Especial Correspondence of the Alex. Gazette
RICHMOND, April 19.-It is conceded on
all sides that the legislators represented
the people of Virginia have gained grand
victory in the cause of right. Malone was
mashed pretty thoroughly. 1t now remains
to be seen whether those who have defeated
him will be content to rest quietly and let
him undo the good work ofthe past three
weeks. 1.-The General feels indisposed at
present. but is doing all he can to make his
followers submit to little more bossing.-
Many Of them who have not vet come out
openly against him are growing very FESTIVE
under his domination His policy, at pre-
sent is TO keep quiet and restrain the vol
cano of his wrath until he can use Hale or
at any rate one Of the Firm Five. When he
has done this lie will begin his game of
getting even with them. But the ques-
ton arises whether these five members do
not know this man and his methods pretty
well now? If SO, they will not be caught
| by chat: 1t is generally believed land in
fact Mahoheites do not deny it, that the re-
cess resolution will be defeated and then the
attempt will be made to adjourn sine die
about Monday or Tuesday. which attempt
|
quandary. There eau be no doubt that with such
stump speakers us Ncwberry and Massey to con-
tend against and perhaps Nalaski Walden, of New
| Kent. Malone will have uphill work in going be-
fore the people. Ah ha Could there he bette,
fun than to Newberry and Massey the
| stump with Riddlcberger and Malone to debate
1.-The situation with them? Wouldn't the noun,
tains shake with the joke and wonldnt the wind
sport the pieces. II is safe tn venture prediction
that Malone will not attempt to speak when New.
berry or Massey will be present TO reply. II the
| Malone idea of hudozing one of the Firm Five
succeeds. Governor Cameron will b. put in the
awkward prediramcnt OF calling & second special
session Of the Legislature TO pass the partisan
measures of 4 Boss. 1t is not deemed probable
however, that any one OF these five men can be
made to break down. The whole plan of the Boss
now may be summed up in Il few words: it is tC

they claim was better qualified for the place and
had more claims Oh the party. Be that as il may
TanCill is the man. and will not be gotten out IS
easily as his opponents desire STRoSaEow.
