FROM WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. ~. ", ~, Io'-'
The Mahoneites who come to this city from
Virginia are not wise in their generation.
One of them. who is from the lower part OF
his State, here to-day, when talking with
democrat about the removal of republicans
in Virginia from office and the giving Of
their places to -Confederates, was indis-
Greet enough to say in the hearing of two or
three republicans from the North who have |
settled in Virginia since the war; 1--WE are
getting even with the ID Yankees now.
You all couldn't do ii, but we are paying
them Off with interest," He also said that
the Yankees and Enelishmen owned most
of the Virginia bonds andas they had found
the niggcrs the only security the State had
for her debt, she ought to repudate the
whole of it. Such talk is not calculated to
win republican support TO rapidly waning
cause whose only hope now rests upon re-
publican assistance.
Intelligence here to-day from Richmond
is to the effect that Malone has wrecked his
party as throughly as he did the A., NJ. &
O. R. R., and that he now has but few fol-
lowers except those to whom he has given
Office. Fulkerson and Jorgensen are doing
all they can to defeat him in their respec
tive districts - the ninth and fourth -
and his candidate in the I'd district,
Spaulding, is so alarmed ut the pros

of the contest, and will withdraw if Phoebus.
of Old Point, can be induced to take his
place. Paul in the 18th district on republi-
can authority is as good as defeated. In
the 1st Sd, 9Th, 9th and Sth districts the
democrats will re-elect their present repre-
sentatives by increased maj orites. 1t is be-
lievcd in the 9th district that Massey will
carry that district by at least twenty-five
hundred more votes than Tucker.
Mr.. Martin. the only member of the House
from Delaware, has been defeated for re-
nomination by the democratic convention of
that State. When Mr.. Martin was sworn in
as il member he had to take the modified
oath. as he is an eX-Contederate Though

Mr.. f. John Ellis, who was decidedly
ishy during the last session of Congress. has
been to his home in Louisiana and found
out that liberalism is not so popular there
as he supposed. He is sojourning at the
watering places in the North now, and saws
that though the South has been opposed TO
what he and the republicans call Bourbon
ism for the last three years, the expulsion of
fairly elected Southern democrats from Con-
gress and the disreputable coalitions the re-
publicans have. made in the South, have
made that section more solid than il ever
was before.

will have nothing to do with it. Senator
Ransom, who is also in the CITY TODAY
agrees with what Mr.. Bonitz says about the
political prospects in his State.
An ONO Judge in the city to-day saws that
republican prospects are anything but IA
