FROM RICHMOND.

! Especial Correspondence of the Alex. Gazette
! RICHMOND, April 22.-Thc adjournment
sine die, of the Legislature to-day marks the
most signal defeat of Bossism in Virginia.
Of course there is much rejoicing at the re,
suit by readjusters, democrats and republi-
cans who were ready to make common
cause against this new danger which has
reared its head in Virginia. 1t was to Ma
homes advantage that the Legislature adj
journed sine die to-day for had it been in
session much longer there would have been
Il strong revolt against his domination nv
some firm readjusters in the House. More
than one of them had become impatient un-
der his eNactions, and it needed but a spark
to kndlc the flame Of independence of the
yoke.
The last desperate fight was made to
capture Mr.. Hale Friday evening and the
Mahoneites felt so sure of having him that
Liet!-Gov. Lewis was OH hand ready TO give
cllnching vote when it should be required.
Mr.. Hale, however, was not to be fooled
rand upon that discovery the caucus in great
haste decided to 90 for an adjournment of
the Legislature Saturday Their haste was
remarkable, and they did not even care to
extend their stay until Monday or Tusday.
II is now said by Mahoneites, who boast
that Malone can order Governor Cameron
as he can some of his servitors. tFarr. for
instance that he will command the Gov
ernor to call another extra session as soon as
he can bulldoze one of the Firm Five.
There is Il rllmor aHoat that the Governor
and the General had some words upon the
subject Friday, and that when Malone gave
this order to Cameron the latter took occa-
sion to say he wanted the Boss to understand
that William E. Cameron was Governor of
Virginia and not William Malone, or words
to that effect. This, it is true, is a rumor
but as it seems to have had its source from
a readjuster quarter there must be some
truth in it.
If another special session is called the
Governor thus demonstrates that he is
h6ssed By Malone and made to WELD q
State Legislature for paltizan purpose
Will hedo il? Hisfriends say not. Ofcourse
the political need for calling the Legislature
will only be when one of the Firm Five Sur
renders or in the event of the serious illness
or death of a democratic Senator
Very few Of the members are in the CITY
tonight. They left by every available train.
The session was trying one to all. but as, a
rule the members of the contending partic:
parted on friendly terms, which fact auguls
we'll for the future. The conscientious re-
adjuste:s are tas! leaving the Mahoncites. =
They know they have done all they could

HUMAN REMAINS IN A SOAP VAT--A horrible
occurrence is reported from Terre Haute While
an empoye at the soap factory there was testing
the strength of the soap he brought up from the
vat in iipper portion of the flesh of human
body Further dippinga brought to light the
skull, several ribs, and part of the two legs. A
souncll OF physicians was held to examine the
bones. They were not in sufficient state of
preservation to determine the sex of the. dead
person, although it was decided that the person
must have been small and elderly There is no
definite clue, but it is thought the remains are
those OF Theodore S. Test, a Vandalia railroad
employe, who has been missing since Thursday.
He was OF temperate habits, happy in his domestic
relations. and it Is surmised he was killed robbed
and taken to the soap factory and thrown in the
VT as means Of covering the crime.

lowers of the boss, and the boss himself

examined critically, rs even small i:NOrs
should be accepted thankfully. the adjourn
ment will he received with becoming graft
tudc, and with III earnest desire Oh the part
of all tho true friends Of the State that the
session may have been blessing IN disguise.
which will be the case if. rs many believe
and more hope. the effect of its proceedings
has been To pnt quictus upon that worst
form of cpublican-M ahoncism. The most
deplorahlc acts of the session were the
election of Mr. Riddlcbcrgcr to the /. :.
Senate, the election of Il Mahoncitc Court of
Appeals, the passage Of the Riddlchcrgcl'
bill, and the abolition of the whipping post.
The first of the these evils il incurablc. and
the second can only be corrected by Il new
