FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August Is, 1884.

Letters received here from MT. hoopei,
he present member of the House from tne
It'll Virginia district, who is now STRIVING 10
ret the republican nomination lot re eiec-
ion, which General Malone wants 'or MS
ravorte Brady, say that he has canvasseu
almost his entire district anu mat Ills
chances of success are highly 1aVoraole, as
even the colorcd members OF MS party are
becoming .:ed of Malone and his methoas.
Brady, however, has not only the support
of Malone, but the whole weight OF tne
Administration Is thrown III us la'or d., !"
shown hy the Fact that he walked into the
office Of The Sarseant-at-Arms of the U. 5.
senate the other day, and demanded leave
nf absence for negro member of the Capt.
toll nolica. named Bats, appointed by Ma
hone in order that the said Bats, one OF his
strikers might work for him among his
race, and thai though Bats had only been
on duty Il week, he was granted iuriougn'
And vet Mr.. Edmunds, President oil the
Senate. saws he is favor of civil service re.
form. But Mr.. Edmunds is so great TREND
of Senator Malone that he refused to pre-
sent TO the body over which he preslhes u
respectf,,l resolution of the Virginia Legs
l,,,lre concerning the General addressed TO
the Senate through him as lis presiding
officer.
At The democratic headquarters here to-
day il is stated that intelligence from tIori-
4. * TO the effect that instead Of the con
occasional representation Of that State being
divided. as it now is. Bisbee, the republican,
who was only elected by three hundred
majority. will he defeated at the next
election, aud that The State viii give
cleveland lis usual democratic majority.
Intelligence is also there to the elect that
the Mahoneites in Virginia are already at
systematic work organizing their forces,
with such pecunary means as they nave
been enabled TO sqllreze out OF their federal
and State Office holders, hut that so far they
have got no money from the national re-
nublicau committee. In reference to tins
last matter, it has long been the subject OF
talk among Virginia republicans here, that
Hubbeli gave $50, ONO, and that $4,000 was
raised in other ways Tor the Malone fund
at The last election, bit that little Of 1t ever
reached The voters il was intended to buy.
A we'll known Virginia republican in the
city to-day, who has ust returned from
New York, said he was informed 10y MIR.
William Walter Phelps, one of Mr.. Rlaine's
managers, that though Malone had made
perenplcry demands upon the national re-
publican committee for campaign money,
he had nCl received a cent, and had been
given 10 understand that he wculd get none
unless some agreement should be elected
hv which all ,hr anli democratic voters i'll
virginia could he united. This may have
been the reason why the General invited
the straishtouts TO his caucus in Richmond
Yesterday. The gentleman referred TO also
saws ii is fact that Malone when in New
York did tell the republicans there that Gov
ernor Cameron would not call the extra
session of the legislature--aare not do it :;
and that us the session was called
they will not set anything like as much
store by the General as they did before.
Another Virginia republican, now here,
saws that Lieut.. Gov Lewis, Beverly Bolts,
Henry Riyes, Otis Russell, Henry Wick
ham and other straiahtolls will hold con-
ference here next week with Mr.. Dezendori
before the latter goes North, SO that he may
know what TO tell the national republi'
can committee 1t is understood that the
strainhtouts are aided in their efforts TO de-
pose Malone from his self assumed suprem-
acy by many Of his late followers who have
failed TO get anything from him, and that
they are now only waiting a favorable OPP
portunitv to knife him" as they express It,
A letter received here this morning from
Mr.. Ike Hill one Of the most knowing dem.
ocratic politicians III Chic. says that State
is safe for the democrats in October, and tina,
Blaince, with all the help of the monopolists
cannot carry it in November.
The Navy Department has received de.
spatch stating that there is no longer any
doubt Of The genuinencss Of the case of yel.
low fever reported st Key West yesterday.
Mr.. G. T.. Travcr$, Il prominent democrat
from California, il here, on bis return home
| from visit TO his iatEer.in law, Governor
Robinson, Of Massachusetts. He says that
under the late Congressional redistricting o.
| his State one district was made republican
but that he believes even in that, Glascock
the democratic candidate, will be reelected
All the other districts, he says, are safe fol
the democrats. In Massachusetts, he says,
at least fifteen thousand independent repub
licans will vote for Cleveland. With regard
| to the Irish detection he said there is nont
of ii i'm his State. but that there is some il,
| Massachusetts, the reason Of which is that
the republican writers and speakers there are
continually repea:lll:, that Blaine Is great
friend of the Irish But that as invcs,iga.
tons have established the fact that from the
time Blaine defended Il Know. Nothing moi
who tar.ed and lrathcrcd an Irish Catholic
priest in 1855. down 10 his salute to the Bri
fish flag al Yorktown in iooi, he bad been
the constant opponent of everything irish
and as that knowledge is being impaired to
the Irishmen, the def elton alluded 10 is
rapidly disappearing.
1t is said here that Mr.. Johnny Daven-
port got about thirty thousand dollars cut oil
JEWELS committee for his investigation OF
the famous Morey letter, copies of the re-
port of which were published in many re-
publican papers this morning. The
report was completed four years ago,
but when completed was considered so
worthless that jewell would not pay for it,
sIr. Davenport has made some more out of
il by selling it to various newspapers who
printed it simultaneously this morning.
Nobody is ut all interested in it, MS every
one at all familiar with Garfield's senti-
ments on the subject, knows that he wrote
tho letter, and also that his successor in tie
House of Representatives, Taylor, Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, and many other leading Ie
publicaEs, among them Gen. Logan. went
even farther than be did in favor OF Chinese
