W,,gygroS, December IA deter

v,r,,niek and some OF his friends to de-
-, Jobn T. McGraW. Mccormick and
I,Ein,op came to Washington on q mid
,,,b, train lsst night and without register
;.,s,s hotel Immediately called on sena-
:. ,.Sbsrnsu, with whom they had g long
o,,,,,sDce. |, is said they worked the
.,,ol5isr dodge, claiming that Mccormick,
,b,s7s UniOu soldier, was turned out

,.v,, smellsd powder. McGrsw's friends
a, hi, weapon will not win the fight, as
v,Co,uick was only 6Eer for the space
,f,.p months in the Twsnty-seysnth lndi-
ana Volunteers, and left the army in 1862,

ira pension in 1862, among the FIRST batch
o:sDpEcstioas, bat it was refused him be

Several Republicans interviewed ssy that

CHoyCg BETWEEN DEMOCRATS
AsNcGraw IS preferable to them over
n7 other. They say the effort to defeat
discrimination is being made by those
usn who turned General DaVall out and
hsy DO no, endorse it. Ons Republican
.n.srrswed SAYS he is in for fighting the
confirmation because if successful it will
roUsu the old fight between Anderson and
Y,G,sv and widen the breach between the
Democratic factions in West Virginia. He
therefore thinks it policy as q good Repub-
Ecsl 10 make the attempt. Others think
here can be but one result. and that would
u si.hsl the rssppointment Of AcGrsw or
Ss appointment of some other Democrat
EAo would be more offensive 10 them.
MALICE.
Mccormick is conducting his part ofthe
Sgat With bis usual mahciOusness, and it
uEholy due to his efforts to vent his per
nlal enmity to McGrsw under the guise
iosleiaing his party, that the contest is
tang made. Prominent men Of both par
6ss sy that the Senate will be made to
sss that at the time Of MeCormicks re-
zors! the great mass Of his party in West
'rgnis did not regret it, and that the
present fight against his successor. is not
conducted By the soldier elem snt IS friends
&Genersl DuvAll. They cannot even con
EE:ently encourage the effort. General
GoF who was one OF McGrsWs strongest
sa3orsers, is scarcely expected now to join
ns 6ght 10 displace him, whsn it cannot
Pos.oly resOl! 10 the appointment Of Re-
pOoICan.
