MEETING IN FAIRFAN.--A gentleman
from Fairfax Court House, who was in tue
city to-day, says the meeting to take place
there on the 3lst inst, in honor Of General
Fiz Lee and of ID. NJ Chichester, esq, the
democratic candidate for the Legislature
from that county, will probably eclipse any
thing in the way OF a political meeting ever
held in that county. A basket picnic will
be orc of the features of the affair, and
horsemen from every section of the county
will meet at Anandale and escort General
Lee into the village. Persons from the adj
joining counties of Fanqu!er and Louaonn
are also expected to attend. The day will
be made one of general holiday By the peo-
pie of Fairfax, and the personal popularity
of both General Lee aud Mr.. Chichester
will cause great cutpouripg Of the people.
Many from this city will doubtless be pres
Ell, and take part in the meeting. After
the meeting at Fairfax General Lee will
como to this city, and speak at the Opera
House that night

Senator Sabin, of Minnesota, be-

would be opposition to the Presi-
dents nominations OH The Republi-

In certain class Of nominations
there certainly will be. Where
drunken scoundrels have been put
forward to make charges against re-
putable officials, and removals have
been made on charges affecting
mems characters without giving
them an opportunity of defence
charges affecting their position and
standing in society, that go into the
records of the departments, and I'M
less disproven form a blot and
stain, from which no man is safe,
in all such cases-and they are
numerous there will be opposition
to confirmation. Ihave no objection
to the Democrats taking any posi-.
tion they see fit for a Democrat.
But they shall not, with my con-
sent, be-spatter honorable men with
secretly made charges. | think the
possession of the offices by Republi-
cans under a Democratic admins.
tration is an clement Of weakness
to the Republican party. The men
who are retained become lukewarm
and Indifferent. and inefficient Re-
publicans. The men who get kicked
out become strong workers. They
have an incentive to their grievance.
