! homes. and some 10 Washington 10 confer
with General Malone and Congressman
Fulkerson and Paul. Malone Is known to
| be out-and-Out against Massey. Fulkerson.
however, has written here to more than
one person saying that he thought the Mas
sey matter might have been n little better
managed in caucus. Paul, II seems, has
not been heard from. but the probability is
/ that he would rather have Massey remain
Auditor than see him enter the lists against
him for Congress.
/ Messrs. Hale, Lybrook, and Newberry
are here. Their homes are too distant 10
make satisfactorily visit and return in
( three days. Mr.. Williams, the other one

efforts TO get up meetings to scare Hale.
Newberry. and LybrOOk-eSpecially Hale.
Their friends are informed that men have
been sent from Richmond. from Lynch
burg. and from Wytheyillc TO work up
anti-iour meetings. But it is not likely
that "old man Massey" will let them
have the game all their own way.
When the meetings take place doubt
less he will have friends there 10 rep
resent him and the gentlemen who, despite
persuasionS and inti.nidations, are stand
/ ing by him so firmly. R'adiusters who
want to bet that Brown Allen will be Audi
/ tor in less than week ere no doubt basing
| their opinion upon the effect OF these meet
ings.
/ Tomorrow will see considerable change
made in the penitentiary guard; some ne
grocs will be put on.
