A well-known republican from Alexan-
lria, here to-day, says that Mr.. DUH Green,
of Stafford county, will be the Malone can
didate for Congress in that, the Sth, district;
that Mr.. Edmund Burke is running for that
position, and will have the Alexandria
delegation and possibly some individuals in
"a few of the other delegations, but that this
support will only be allowed him in order
to get him committed to the cause, and that
as stated above, arrangements have peen
made by which Green, who Is Mahones
favorite, will be the candidate, and probably
be nominated on the first ballot. He also
saws il is understood that William Garter, a
colorea shoemaker of Alexandra, VIII
probably be an independent candidate for
Congress in the same district. Hesayslike-
wise that + OF Mr.. Mckenzie, but Mr.. J. p.
Aenew will be the republican who will take
the place of Loutham, of Clarke county,
who is now Il citizen Of another district, OH
the Malone electoral ticket. In this con-
n-ytion it may be said that it is reported
here that should Blaine be elected, of which
no democrat now thinks there is the re-
hottest probability, Mr.. Mckenzie will stand
a chance Of being 81 Assistant Postmaster
General.
TX Senator Johnston, Of Virginia, is the
city to-day. He has just returned from
Southwest Virginia, the 9th congressional
district uf the State, which, he says, Will be
sure to send TrlSg, democrat, ID Congress
in place of Bowen, Muhonite, who will be
Mahonc'S candidate for reelection. MIR.
Johnston says that many OF Nlahone's old
supporters in all the counties of that dis.
tiict have left him, ana that at the next
election the district Will give its old time
majority. Trigg, he says, may lose few
votes iii conSeullencr of his having been the
counsel of tiencrai |; +. Eutler in the suits
of .ectlncnG the General had instituted
against certain settlers on the large tracts
of land he has hong Int in thai district,
hut that the reaction there i'll favor of the
dcIiiocra: : is 50 great that he can well al
Cord t., stand that loss. Mr. Johnston stop
ned Il .l,.y or TWO in Richmond before he
cam. 10 This city. He says that tho politi.
ca! outlook there Is most favorable, and
that every iphy will he surprised if of the
ten representatives i'll Congress TO which
the State is entitled the democrats Will
not have eight, those from all the dis
tircts; except the second and fourth,
the Norfolk and Petersburg districts, in
which the negroes have overwhelming ma
ioritics Referring again to the detection
in the Mahone's ranks, he said he unders God
il was not Goa Aimed TO the 9th district but
was general throughout the State, and that
certain prominent Office holders under Ma
hone were open in their denuncation of
their cx-hoss, and attributed the fall of the
readiuster party TO his umsullerable airs,
eeotlsm, vanity and tyranny. When asked
if the loss of Si;O, ono bonds of the LIST Ma
tiona Bank of Richmond, reported TO have
been i'm The, \ hlun bank of New York, and
TO have been appropriated by the deiaultng
cashier of that bank, would hurt the Rich.

that bank it the amount had been 5000, 600.
The Senator Is here overlooking the record
of the republican party rs contained in Con-
pressouui documents, and also to sec about
the patent burglar proof safe lock he has
invented, which, it is said, is destined to
supercc,lc all others, rs when it is locked at
night no power can open it until the next
morning, when il will open itself. The SEN
ator, who is Catholic says the reported
detection among democratic Catholics, so
far .s lie can learn is republican myth.
