WASHINGTON, j. c., Dec. s, 1883.
Lieut. Gov. Lewis, Of Virginia is still in
the CITY, and will probably remain here
until after the meeting OF the national re-
publican committec, on the 18th instant, OF
which his personal and political friend, MIR.
Yust. Of S!aunton, is the Virginia member.
Mr.. Lewis thinks the republicans of his
State have been treated shamefully by the
Administration through the false represen-
l.tjyns Of General Malone, and hopes to
have the i'm preSsious produced by those
REPRESENTATIONS removed by full and cor
rect statement made to the national COM
mittee.
Mr.. DeZcndorf has invited all the promi-
nent Virginia republicans, including the
members OF the straightout committee, TO
meet in conference here on the 18th inst.
and determine upon the line they snail
pursue and as TO the advisability OF attempt
rr 10 make any statement to the national
republican committee, which will meet here
the ,lav after. Most all the republicans OF
any prominence in Virginia will be present,
and the conference, it is expected, will have
an important effect upon the future of the
republican party in Virginia. One thing IS
certain that the great body of respectable
white republicans in Virginia are sick and
tired OF Malone and disguised with his
methods. and that no efforts Of the Ad-
ministration not even sits whole weight,
can induce them TO submit to his dictator'al
sway any longer.
4 delegation of Congressman waited upon
the President this morning and urged nm
to reoi,cSt The British Government to sub

give the matter early and proper conslderl-
ton.

While Capt. Hannermann's volunteer Ar
tillery Company was firing salute on the

| The change in the Offices of the Senate
seems to be Us far OIL as ever. Senator
Anthony is expected to arrive here this
afternoon, but his coming will not hasten
| the change, as he is one Of the republican
Senators who are not enamored of Malone.
| There are three good reasons why the re-
| publican Senators should be content to let
| thugs stay IL they are: \ desire TO con
| lrtst with the democratic Senate in the mat
ter OF civil service reform the dislike some
| of them have to Mahones candidate for
secretary Mr.. George G. Gorham be-
cansc they have most of the patronage as it
| is, aud would probably not have as much
| III der u change rs they have now. There
| * also rI!mUr atIoat To the effect that the
democratic Senators informed the leaders
on the republican side that they acknowl
edged their right Ia the offices of the Senate
ana would NOT OBJECT if they nominated an
objectionable republicans, but that they
wunId oppose sith ali the means at their
|
hi,late. Mr.. Gurham.
IL is Understood that Mr. Hntchings, OF
| New York, will, al IN carly day, Introduce

Gales reaches the sum oil thirty millions, and
10 Withdraw the one and two dollar green
| backs and substitute in their place IN equal
amount OF silver halves, quarters aud dimes

LEGISLATURE shall have passed the resolution
| requesting Senator Malone to resign the
first appropriate opportunity will be availed
| of for having il inscribed upon the records OF
The L. :. Senate.
The Prince OF Wales and the members Of
