VIRGINIA is fairly ablaze with politics
just now, and Mt no other time has there
been so much interest awakened, the
reason given by correspondent Is that
leach party realizes that the losing side
this fall will be eliminated, from polti-
cal power for good. Everybody in Vir-
ginia Is remarking upon the wonderfully
peaoeable and good-natured character
OF the canvass. Two years ago there
was good deal Of bad temper in the
campaign on both sides, and two or
three duels took place and others were
threatened. 1t was feared that this
year would see a repetition of all this,
but so far the State is pleasantly dlsap-
pointed. There have been no ugly
personal Vindlctiye denunclations by
either side, but the points of difference
have been presented with the skill that
comes from long practice in discussions

advanced in education and intelligence
than when the province was conquered
from France, and hence the bitter oppo-
sition to the adoption of the best results
Of modern medical science. That the
doctors are themselves divided on the

ment In favor Of the stand taken against
it by the French Canadians. for the
objections are more generally based
on the evil results that sometimes
follow from AN abuse Of the practice. or
from carcossncss in the operation or the
use Of impure lymph, while the Mon
treal objection arises from an objection

al objections To vaccination. there seems
TO be no doubt that when it is properly
performed it guarantees reasonable

a certain length Of time. Objections
may be raised to compulsory vaocina-
tion, just rs to compulsory education,
but when the people have been proper

New YORK, Oct 2i.-[Special to the BEE. [
In an interview in the Tribune State Sena-
tor Arkell, referring to Depew's letter on
of President johnson, recalls conversation
he had with Grant just before his death. "Af-
ter reading book called the Downfall of
the Republic" says Arkell, "Grant said: L
have been called as commander of the army
to conclude the suppression of the rebellion,
and have been the personal means of prevent
ing subsequent civil war, menacing and
dangerous, yet of which little | know A
venerable financier, who used to be well
known in Wall street, and who was thor
oughly informed in political matters, in al

physicians who reported 1t, attributed to
possible mental wandering from physical
weakness, said: II remember the time well.
The rumor struck the street that some pOr

ribly from some unknown cause. The cause
of the depression was found to have Orlginat-

procured by Bob johnson, the presidents
private secretary, who had surreptitiously
copied and sold portions of Il draft of an in

proposed to declare congress adjourned and

would recognize. This corroborates, says

Hendricks Hoodoos the Charge.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, oct. 25.--The News
yesterday contained an interview with
Vice President Hen bricks about the story
put In circulation by Chauncey NJ. Depew
about President JOhnsOn's contemplated
congress to be composed of rebel sympa-
thizers entirely. "rhs story won't do"
said Hendricks, land publ opinion will not
sustain any such charges made twenty years
after the alleged events happened, and after
all the persons who We're directly connected
with them are dead. Personally, 1 know
nothing of Mr.. Johnson's opinions or inten-
tions, further than the information that
came TO me in the position held. was in
the United States senate, and L both spoke
and voted against the impeachment of John
son. While l never had any conversation
with him on the subject referred TO
silch intention. He believed in restoring and
not recOnstructing the states, and that the
federal government had no right 10 change or
abrogate their constitutions. l think Mr..
Lincoln held this view also. / have no doubt
that Johnson wanted Stanton removed, but
II was on personal grounds, for they were not
good friends. cannot believe he had any
such purpose as that attributed To him, and
never heard it charged before the last few
political matter should have remained silent
Tor twenty years. 1 have read the various
statements IN the papers and am inclined to
give the greatest cledeEce to that of Judge
