spondent of The Alexandria Gazette writes
Ex-senator Johnston is in the city to-
day. lie takes a hopeful view Of the pOllti-
cal situation in his State, and says that after
q careful survey Of the whole field he is
induced 70 believe that the Democrats will
control the mex Legislature, and that, too,
even upon the Massey vote Of last fall,
which, however, he is certain will be large
~ increased.
Judge Harris, Of Rockingham county,
Va, who was here Yesterday, when asked
about the condition OF politics in his pOr-
ton OF his State, replied that politics had
not warmed up sufficiently there yet awhile
TO develop any change in the condition OF
political affairs there.

lFor the Dispatch.
Tariff

The Democrats of Virginia are in favor q,
repeating tho internal-rcvenue law. and in
favor OF rating the duties on all goods M
articles of every description coming in
competition wish American productions
at the highest point that will Weld the
largest amount OF revenues; to this extent
they are in favor OF protection. All ar.
ticleS not coming in competition with
home productions or manufactures should
be rated Us the necessities OF the Govern
ment may require. DEMOCRAT.
The Lynchburg Convention, if il should
deem it wise TO say anything on the subject
the tariff, would not, in our opinion,
improve upon the above. But we are in
duced 20 think that il would be wise to
draw no lines on the tariff question.

"what do you think of the plan suggested
by Gen. West in regard to changing the form

Of Gen. Hovey yesterday.
81 don't know that am prepared to ex-
press an opinion yet, for haven't thought
of it sufficiently" was tho reply. ~ am op-
posed to being governed in any way without
having an opportunity to express by my vote
my opinion of the governing party. should
prefer to have but one head rather than three,
as we have now, for then there would be
some one upon whom we could fix the respon-
siblity. Gen. Vests plan may be tho best we
could get, aud as il cognizes suffrage
should be in favor of that if VIC could do no
BETTER"
"He makes commission of FIVE with
three of them elective. That gives the peo-
pie of the district the balance of power"
Yes, but as | said ] am opposed to double
headed arrangement any way. / prefer a
single head. However, that plan may do
" You see," said gentleman standing by
who in former years had good deal to do
with district affairs, "a municipal form of
government is one of denial; that is you are
compelled to refuse ten men where you grant
the request of one. If, as in the present case
the ruler is appointed, the people who are
refused think that he has no sympathy
with them; that he Is appointed
by tho government, and all he
cares for is to satisfy the district committees
without any thought or care whether the
citizens are satisfied or not. Now If he was
elected by the people, those who went 10 see
him and were refused would go away believ-
ing that his refusal was simply because it was
not in his power to grant what they asked.
| believe that there is q growing sentiment
in favor of suffrage. / know that it is of tho
utmost Importance to preserve the present
partnership between the general govern mont
and the district If the ardent advocates of
suffrage make their onset upon congress, the
democratic house may grant what they ask
and take away the aid that the government
gives u.s. Then we would be in nice fix.
Now ! have for n long time been opposed to
suffrage, but | see the effort that will be made
for it, and look upon Gen. Vests plan with
considerable favor. The trouble with us be-
fore when we had suffrage, was the large
proportion of ignorant and nonproperty
holding population, and ! have feared that
if ever W. returned to suffrage that element
would still be potent.
kBut think | see a way to neutralize them.
Let the right TO vote here be granted to all
the employees Of the various government de-
partments-no matter whether they vote in
their states or not-and then you are safe
from the riff-ratf. If there is q commission oi
| five, and these are elected by the people, we
will feel that wo have the balance of repre-
sentation upon the board, while the United
States will have two-the commissioners OF
finance and of improvements-which ought
to be sufficient"

Tilden,s Vanity.
BoMon 1rapeL,n.. Washington l

Boaon IrdpeEr5', Washington Letter.
Said gentleman who is, and has bee n for a
long time, an intimate friend of Samuel j.
Tildon, to me recently, "There are a great
many things about Tilden's character which
have never reached the public ear. In the
first place he is a very vain man. No one,
save those who have been intimately ac-
quainted with him, would imagine that such
was tho case, but it is fact nevertheless. To
illustrate this will tell you something that
happened in 1880. 1t was during the time of
tho Cincinnati convention, and on the
very day that Tilden's letter was read de-
clining TO stand at the head Of the ticket
again. A friend called upon him and the
governor Immediately 'ked for the latest
news from the convention, The gentleman
said: Governor, the most interesting fea-
ture Of the proceedings to-day was the read
ing OF your letter. 'Ah,' said Tilden, what
was the general impression produced on the
conventionp Well responded the friend,
to tell the truth, great many distiust your
sincerity Never mind that, never mind
that interrupted Tilden, didn't the conven-
tion admire its high literary style That in
cident shows how full OF vanity the Sage of
GTamercy Park is"
