here last week TO see SenatoE'elec' Danioi
and ask him to deliver an address at
meeting to be held there some time this
month to raise funds for the erection OF
monument to the Confederate dead buried
in that city, and, in case be could not, to re-
quest him to ask either Congressman Breck-
lnridge, of Kentucky, or congress
man Wilson, of West Virginia, 70 40 so.
Mr.. Daniel told the General it would be I'M
nossible for him to come to Alexandria this
month, as he YVES too much engaged, but
that he was preparing an address on the
subject of the Confederate dead, which ne
Thought would contain something new, and
that he might deliver it in Alexandria next
October. He said this morning that he had
asked both Messrs. Breckenridge and Will
son. but that both these gentlemen declined
to 90 not only this month, but also after the
adjournment of the session, on account OF
pressure of business.
The Virginia bondholders have notified
the House Judiciary Committee that their
counsel will appear before them during the
the latter part of the current week, and
make an argument in favor of paying Vir-
ginia. either in public lands or money, for
the territory out of which the State of West
Virginia was created. A member of the
committee says they have not been officially
informed that Mr.. Conkling is the counsel
referred to, but that they hear so.

wholesale tobacco house, who has just trav-
eed through the States of Pennsylvania,
MARYLAND, Virginia and Tennessee, says the
predominant feeling of the republicans of
all those States regarding the next Presiden.
CIV is in favor of Mr.. Logan for their partys
nomination. The prevailing impression on
the subject here is that Mr.. Blaine will be
the nominee, and that his vote will be lar
ger than it was before.
In the House to-day Mr.. Harris, of Geor-
eia, introduced bill providing for gradu-
ated income tax. There is no doubt that

ing slowly but surely.
In the House to-day Mr. Kelly, republic
can, of Pennsylvania, made a personal at
tack upon Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, for
the latter's speech last Friday, criticizing
and censuring the late Secretary Stanton.
and moved that that speech be expunged
from the record and that no more copies Of
that record as printed be issued Mr.. Herbert
objected, as Gen. Wheeler was not present.
Mr.. Kelly then gave notice that he would
renew his motion tomorrow, when he hoped
Gen. Wheeler would be in his seat. Mr..
Crisp, OF Georgia, then rose and apologiZed
to Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, for the words
he had used in the heat of debate last Sat-
urday evening, saying he made them under
q misapprehension, and paying high COM
pliment to the worth and standing Of the
"great objector," though he did not desig-
nate him as such. Mr.. Holman replied in
terms equally as complimentary, and the
two gentlemen repairing to the space in
rear of the seats shook hands amidst the
applause of the entire floor.
There was long debate in the Senate to-
day upon the reference of the oleomargarine
bill, Messrs. Beck, Butler, Mcpherson and
Aldrich favoring its reference to the finance
committee, and Mr.. Miller of New York,
contending that it should 60 to the agricul-
tural committee. Mr. Butler said he could
not for the life of him see why it should not
go to the finance committee and why it
should 60 to the agricultural committee,
and that if 1t were not measure to raise
revenue it had gotten into the Senate on
false pretenses.
Among the strangers at the Capitol to-day
was Mr.. Bell Bigger, Clerk of the Virginia

ate the condition of the people of Ireland,
and moved its reference to the Committee
on Labor, saying that as the Foreign Affairs
Committee had not yet reported on SINH
ago, it was plain that this one would also be
pigeon-holed if sent to them, and that there.

on Labor. His motion was defeated by
large majority.
As no witnesses have as yet been sum-
moned to appear before the Senate Post
Office Committee to testify in relation to the
charges brought against Mr.. Glennan, post
master at Norfolk, by Gederal Malone, to
prevent his confirmation, none may be for
some time, as Mr.. Conger, who is the chair
man of the committee, and who offered the
resolution to that effect, has now gone to
