WASHINGTON, June 5.-Senator Ride.
berger, Of Virginia, laughs at the claims Of
the opponents Of his party, that the Read
justers have sustained losses in the late
local elections in his State. Any intelligent
analysis OF the results, whether considered
by counties or sections, he says, will show
that the Readjusters have reaped verysuo'
stantial fruits OF success. In the Southwest
and the Valley, where the Readiusters have
hitherto won, the Senator says his party has
more than held It's own; it has surpassed it's
former victories, "and these are the sec.
tions where, in consequence Of the
heavy preponderance OF the white vote,
the stable and reliable influences aud fac.
tors in Virginia politics are TO be found,
and they are fixed for us tor years to come,
said Mr.. Riddleberger. He states positive.

claimed 10 have redeemed cannot be de.

JULIaN's TACTICS.
An Apostaie's Attack ON Carl Schurz,
His Ipsignifiennce.

WASHINGTON, Juae 5.-Mr. Julian ap.
pears in print again to-day, with an attack
on Mr.. Carl Schurz, and this time he shows
his desperation by charging personal cor.
ruption. These continued attacks Of Mr.
Julian are nauseating to all here who know
the two men and are familiar with theil
public records. MIR. Julian, since his apos
tacy from Republicanism, has spent much
Of his time in the Washington lobby. He
has been treated with studied contempt by
his former political associates, whom be
abandoned, while the Democrats, to whom
he deserted, have not hesitated to manifes,
their utter Disgust. While he was true to
his principles he had very prominent
place, and commanded general respect,
He was the anti.monopoly champion, and
the loudly proclaimed friend OF settlers.
or late years his business here has been
in the lobby, and the work he has sought
and performed, when he found any to do,
has been in directions quite contrary to
his former professions. his associates here
have been OF the lobby. He has circulated,
month after month, about the House anu
corridors OF the CApitoi, a man who seemed
Stunned by both parties and all bis former
friends He has gained admission to the
floor, as an ex.member, by practically cer-
tifying in writing that he would not use
the privilege for lobbying, and, in spite oi
this, has piled his vocation whenever
measures in which he was interested were
pending In a word, no man OF once fair
standing here has fallen to more insig
niticant position since the Republican
party came into power.

BILE influence on the coal trade. Mr.. Refs

he states, has gone to Ohio, and it locks as
II the mines would have to close down on
July 1st until September. Mr.. Reisinger
SAYS that at their mines there are not more
than half the force OF men at work. Ebe.
