From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March G.--I am assured by
those who know that Colonel w. +. Nyc
will be nominated for Marshal OF the East
ern District OF Virginia. He is backed by
Judge Bond, Judge Hughes. and United
States District Attorney Lewis, and Gen.
eral Malone is said 10 be favorable 10 him.
From what heard tonight, il would not

ney Lewis declined the Supreme iudgesliip
and continued in the service OF the Fed
cral Government. lie is fortunate in hay-
ing the confidence and respect OF all par
ties. asked most influential Re-
publican Of your State to-day as to
the chances Of Major Richard +. Walker
for Public Printer, and he replied,
.'He hassome Of the strongest supporters
he could have, and il looks as II he will
win" An ex-senator, who was present
and who is strong with the Administration,
said: al had rather see him appointed
than any one now urged for place under
President Arthur" The feeling in news
paper circles is that he already has the in
side track for the position. The Hon. John
| S. Barbour, designated by his Democratic
colleagues as one OF the Congressional
Committee, will be made, | hear, one OF
the Executive Committee to consist OF
seven Democratic members OF Congress.
The full committee will meet this week and
organize.
AN EXCITING TILT ANTICIPATED.
The Republicans are ralying their forces
in the House with view Of commencing
tomorrow or next day an effort to adopt
what are known a. the Read amendments
10 the rules. These amendments give the
majority more power than ii now has, and
will enable il to reach and pass bills that
otherwise will die on the calendar. The
main object in view is to get at the bill for
the admission OF Dakota, which, without
the remedy proposed, is already dead. Mr..
Randall, the parliamentary leader OF the
Democrats, is fully aware of the objects Of
the movement, and says tonight that it
cannot succeed. The Speaker in paria-
mentary contest is no match for him, and
the Republicans will now miss Mcssrs.
Eugene Hale and Conkling sadly.
SUGAR AGITATION COMMENCED.
Mr.. Gambler, of Boston, a merchant, to-
day introduced a bill marking the tariff on
all sugar up to Is Dutch standard % per
cent. dd UalOrem, and above IL, 80 per
cent. al UdlOrem. This is a very heavy
reduction, both on sugars that have TO be
refined before they can be used rs well as
on sugars that can be used without being
refined. 1t will be remembered that IL is
the dividing line. Nothing, | am sure,
will be done in regard to the sugar tariil
this session Of a material character. and
this proposition Of the Boston representa-
tive is but the commencement OF an agita-
ton looking ultimately to an dd roiorem
and reduced custom duty on this article OF
prime necessity.
TIE EADs SHIP RAILWAY.
Senator Vest to-day, from the Senate
Commerce Committee, reported bill Tor
the construction of the Eads ship railway
across the isthmus. 1t guarantees per
cent. on Sj0,00O.0OO for fifteen years, aud
is in many respects the same as that pro-
posed bv the House committee last session,
of which General King, Of Louisiana, was
chairman.
A NATIONAL BANKRUPT LAW.
The bankrupt law reported to-day from
the Senate Committee on the judiciary i
in the main the Ingalls, bill. 1t dispenseS
with the registers, receivers, middlemen,
&C. and abolishes much that sayOrcd OF
red tape. Then, it transfers bankrupt
cases to the equity side of the United
States courts, and in this way simplihe'
proceedings and facilitates discharges. Mr.
ingalls, gave notice that he will call up TIM
bin "a soon rs measures now pending be
fore the Senate are disposed OF.
INTERSTATE COMaERCE-THE ADAMS BILL
The bill introduced into the House TO
day for regulating Interstate commerce L
what is known as the bill OF Charles Fran
els Adams, Jr. 1t provides for the appoint
ment OF Il bureau Of five railroad commits
sioners. who are to be connected with tn
7 Interior Department. These commission
: ers are to receive $4,000 each per annlim
; and their powers are to be advisory rathe
, than supervisory. They are to investigat
, charges Of discrimination, dc. The friend
of the Adams bill object to the Reagan bill
because, they say, it provides for too cum
brous and complicated system.
