Mr.. Arthur.

SpeculatlOns abound in the northern
papers az to whether Mr.. Arthur will
or will not be a candidate before the
Republican Natioral Convention OF
next year. There Is a test which we
regard as infallible. 1t is his subser-
viency 10 Malone. When he shall
have refused 10 GIL the pOst-offices in
Virginia as Gen. Malone orders them
10 lie filed, Mr.. Arthur may be set
down as having abandoned all hope
of ever being elected President Of
the United Sla!es by the vote OF the
people; for his only chance of securing
the nomination OF his party for that
Office lies 10 the fact that the delegates
from the southern States can be infln .
enced By the Administration. through
such men as General Malone, 10 vote
10 that Convention for only thecandidate
SIR. Arthur may desire to have nonl'
ted. General Malone controls the ne
groes OF Virginia, and these constitute
a large majority of the Coalition party
which, as he himself says, has in the
black counties hardly white men
enough 10 officer the negroes. When
Arthur shall cut loose from Malone he
will cut loose from the vote oil Virgil
MIA in the National Convention. The
former, therefore; be will not do until
be has concluded not to run for Presi-

Two hundred gentlemen and sbout
so ladies assembled at the Simpson
Farm, near Hunts Point, in The an
nexed district, yesterday, tn occasion
being the third annual sale of JerseY
cattle from the celebrated Simpson
herd. On the lawn in the rear OF the
homestead two spacious marquee tents
had been erected for tie accommoda-
ton Of the visitors. In the rear OF
these was q temporary stable under
canvas, where the 60 ANIMALS to ne
sold were placed on exhibition. A
fourth tent was devoted to lunch, which
was served at midday. Mr.. William
Eastou officiated as salesman, and a
dozen employees of the farm. dressed in
raudy uniforms of red and blue, led
the handsome animals about the lawn
for inspection. Several ofthe famous
bulls of the herd were exhibited pre-
vlous TO the sale, which began shortly
after IL O'Clock. The bidding was
spirited, especially when Rayon D'Or'
The famous bull Of The herd, and Lady
Vertummus, one Of the handsomest
creatures in the herd, were brought TO
the block. In the case Of Teach of these
imported beauties the opening bid was
$500, that figure being quickly lett 10
the rear in tie sharp competition to
get possession Of the prizes, which
eventually sold at 81, $50 AID $1,000
respectively. The price paid for Rayon
Dor was very low when tie fact that
he is the best bred living son OF Far
mer's Glory and CoOmassle is taken
into consideration. The only animal
withdrawn from the sale was Alphea
Chief, an iubrod Alphca bull, which
was zoo sick to be sold. In Lis place
was substituted a bull calf not quite a
month old, about the size Of pointer
dog ard as lively as kitten. The
