of the local elections in Virginia on
the oath ult.. was disaCtrous to the
hopes OF Senator Malone aud his lea
ders. In some of the Southside com.
ties the resulrwas simply astounding
because OF the unexpected political
revolution. In Pr.uce George coan.

lorlty o. about 500 III the last election,
the democrats carried the day by l42
majority. In Southampton county,one

ties carried ty the coaitionists their
majorities are greatly reduced. The
result IN the Underwater counties Was
equally decisive against Malone. in
Norfolk county, which has heretofore
gone Overwhelmingly for Mahope,
the boss sustained an overwhelming
defeat, despite the use Of the navy
yard influence. In this county, Par
