FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondents OF the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. 16, 1885.
Private intelligence from Richmond to-
day is to the effect that the recent interview
between Mr.. Wise and Gov. Cameron was ut
terly ineffective so far as placating the Gov
ernor's iustifable angry feeling towards
Malone for the abuse he has showered up
ON him through the Northern and Western
newspapers that still support the General,
and that the Governor is now engaged IN pre-
parinr paper in which he makes complete
expose of Malone and his methods, and that
he and his friends will no longer be only
lukewarm republicans, but will give active
effective aid to the effort now being MADE
to eliminate General Malone from Virginia
politics.
As anticipated in this correspondence
three weeks ago, the President has declined
to accept the Invitation to attend the State
Agricultural Fair. He had SO many SINH.
lar invitations that he could not well make
an exception in favor of Richmond.
A Virginia gentleman now here on his
way home from visit to New York says
that General Malone may be receiving 3
great deal OF money from the republicans OF
that city, but that he doesn't think he is,
for that while there he conversed with large
numbers of republicans and that none Of
them seemed to take any stock in the Gen
eral, and now that the U. S. Senate is as
sured, no matter how Virginia may CO. he
believes from what he heard them say they
would rather the General should be defeat
ed than elected.
1t is rumored here that the President has
practically determined upon the men he
will appoint to the various offices in the
District of Columbia Of which he has the
disposal, but that as is his way he will not
intimate who they are until their appoint
ments shall have been made, and that that
will not be done until after the November
elections.
The fact that among those who sent con.
gratulatory dispatches to Mr.. Foraker, the
bloody shirt candidate who has been elected
Governor of Ohio, are General Malone and
Mr.. John S. Wise, of Virginia, is said here
be to reminder to Mr.. Foraker that any of
his surplus campaign funds or any more
money that can be raised by his efforts if
sent to Virginia will be placed where it will
do the most good to the Malone cause.
That the statement of some of the demo
Gratis of this city to the effect that they have
SO far and will continue to refuse to sub
scribe to the Virginia democratic campaign
fund for the reason that the President re-
fuses to appoint District democrats to the
District offices, and that they don't intend
any longer to help party that doesn't help
itself when it has the power to do 80, is ut
terly groundless has been proved by many
instances heretofore mentioned in this cor.
respondence; but another one may be ad-
duced. In 1882, when there existed none Of
the causes now assigned by the District
democrats as their reason for refusing to
subscribe to the Virginia democratic cam
paign fund, four well-known, highly re-
spected and authoritatively accredited gen.
tlemen went on collecting tours among the
prosperous democrats of the District for the
democratic campaign then in progress in
Virginia, and the result of their days work
was sos. Since the Ohio election one of the
democratic clubs of this city, the East Capt.
toll club, has informed the Virginia demo-
cratic association of Washington that call
upon them for the benefit of the Virginia
fund will be responded to literally.
A motion for receivership of the Alex
andria canal will be argued before the court
in Richmond next week. It will be resisted
by the lessees, who have engaged Mr.. Leigh
Page as counsel. The lessees have an idea
that the bernie bank of the canal will be
wanted one of these days for railroad, and
they don't want to be tied up if an offer for
that purpose be made to them.
Ohio democratic politicians, well-known
in this city, just arrived from their State
this morning, repeat the story of yesterday,
that the democrats there have the Legisla
ture and are going to keepit They seem
to know what they are talking about, but
if they believe what they say, it is more than
any body does.
Col. L. W. Reid, of Alexandria, whose
appointment as chief of division in the Office
of the Register of the Treasury was an
nounced in yesterdays GAZETTE, will receive
salary oftwo thousand dollars.
AS Mr.. Calderon Carlyle, of this city, and
Rev. DR.. Curry, of Virginia, married sisters,
and as Mr.. Carlyle is the agent of the
Spanish government, and Dr.. Curry, the
Minister to Spain, the censorious are already
saying that Spanish interests in the United
States will be well protected.
An old resident of Washington when
talking to the GAzETTE's correspondent to-
day expressed qualification at the fact that
the people of this city by being deprived of
the privilege of suffrage are happily ex.
empt from the fuss and troubles of elections
He said he remembered a prosperous firm
here, the two members of which had been
life. long friends, and who by their combined
efforts had built up large and lucrative
business, but that they took different sides
at local election, that the animosity thus
soon made them dissolve part
nership, that they set up opposition houses
by which both lost all the money they had
made, and that neither ever amounted to
thereafter.
The white marble terrace on the north |
and south sides of the Capitol having been
almost finished, the work of that on the
west front of the building has been com.
When the whole is completed the
appearance of the ediice from the west ap-
proach will be greatly improved and more
imposing.
