them also have been sent to States where
their votes will do the most good.
Mr.. Dezendorf, Of this city, who has been
speaking in Virginia for the Malone cause,
saws be will bet his head that that State
will 20 for Blaine. That his head is not
attached to his trunk very securely is shown
by the fact that Malone removed it with
out any trouble, which fact should teach
him not to be so brash, lest he lose it again.
A well-informed gentleman from Caiitor-
MIA, whose occupation compels him 10 he
continually travelling throughout that State,
is here to-day. He says that when he left
San Francisco last week most every body
there thought the State would go for Cleve-
land, and that five of the six congressional
districts would elect democrats, and that
he has seen nothing in the newspapers since
that tends to change such result. He also

Judge Key, of Indiana, ex-senator Nc
Dopald's former law partner, being asked
to-day by the GAzETrE's correspondent if
he thought Indiana as safe now as he did IA
month ago, when he was asked the sam"
question, replied to the effect that he did.
That his hopes were not the fathers Of his
thoughts, that if he were republican he

democrats there, while not having the
drawback they had four years ago, have
many advantages they did not have then.
and, besides, have the experience gained By
the Dorsey campaign.

three weeks off for arguing that case, which
has been advanced by the court. He sass
the case is a simple one and that he is sure
he will gain 1t. In talking about the result
of the election in Virginia Mr.. Royal says
the Blaineites will attempt TO create dis
turbances at the polls there for two reasons,
one to deter timid people from voting and Il Q
other to afford ground for throwing out the
vote Of the State; and that the proper course
to be pursued by the demo Gratis there would

Intelligence from Virginia here to-day is
to the effect that Malone has got some
money from the national republican COM
mittee, bat not as much as is generally sup
pose, and that he sent his treasurer, Clarke,
to New York on Wednesday to get more If
possible that of this money he has sent
some to fuckers district, some 10 Daniels,
O'Ferrall's, Trgg's and Wise's, as well as
some into Louisa county, in Mr.. Barbours
district; that he is not sending any Into
the districts in which his candidates are
able to help themselves. In Brady's dis
trict be will not spend any, as he thinks
Brady as internal revenue collector should
help himself; Libby, in the I'd district, is a
rich merchant and should do likewise, and
as for the 1st district, he does not like Mayo,
the candidate Of his party, and refuses to
help hirn. CabeIl's district he considers
certain for the democrats, and of course
will spend none there. The money he is
spending he is placing in the State Sen
atorial districts in which elections will oc.
cur next fall, with a view to controlling them
as far as possible for himself in the election
of his successor. But it is thought by many
in his party that the General is doing what
was said at the time, be did last year,
which was to keep the most of the
money he got from the national com
mittee in his own pocket. He is also
said to be doing all id his power to elect
his Presidential electors, even at the ex-
perse of his congressional candidates, whom
he will not hesitate to sacrifice for that pur-

collector Brady, and the Generals failure
to send him any money, the former is very
much embittered against the latter. who he
says has grossly deceived him about the
