THE RICHMOND Dispatch says that when
a suit is brought in U. 8. court against the
officers of State, who have no personal in
terest in the result, and who defend 1t
only as the representatives ofthe State-the
real party against whom reliefis sought-the
action cannot lie. And yet the .. S. Su'
preme Court not only took jurisdiction in
the case of tho Lee heirs for the recovery oil
the Arlington estate. but decided that case
in their favor, though the suit was brought
against the officer in charge of the estate,
who bad no personal interest in the result,
and who only defended it as the representa-
tive of the U. s. government, the real party
against whom relief was sought. And that
action of the court was approved by the
Dispatch, as it should have been.

FOR TIE great good of Alexandria it is
hoped that the advice in the GAzETTE's
Washington correspondence OF yesterday,
suggested by a conversation with an official
of the Alexandria and Washington Rail-
road Company, may be adopted, and that
the city authorities may inform the COM
pany as speedily as possible OF the terms
upon which it can move it's passenger depot
TO a more central and convenient site. 1t
is stated that i've hundred people moved
from this city to Washington in consequence
of the change in the site of the depot, and
the reduction in the number of local trains
It is by no means improbable that they will
move back again, and bring others with
them, it the cause of their departure be re-
moved. Winter will soon be upon us, and,
when the river is blockaded, the enforced
walk to and from the Fayette street depot
Is anything else than agreeable.

Malone Not n Candidate.

A gentleman in Petersburg has received
the following letter from General Malone
in relation to his being candidate for the
Congressional nomination from the fourth
Virginia district
OLD POINT COMFORT, VA Aug. 81, 1856
DEAR SIR j: Any suggestion which places
me in the attitude of a candidate for the
nomination for Congress from the fourth dis.
trict, or which, as if to invite, conveys the
implication that / will accept the nomina-
ton if rendered me, is at once distasteful
and at variance with an unvarying and free
" expressed opinion in that connection.
I protest that I be not put in either OF
these Objectionable relations to the party
and the district. must and will repudiate
any and every implication which presents
me as candidate, or as willing to accept a
nomination I do not desire.
While always willing to servo where duty
and the interests of the party may command
that l shall, have never thought an emer-
gency would come which might bring the
party in this case to conclude that | ought
to take the nomination, and that even then,
in the event of such an unlikely contingent
CIV, solution would be found to satisfy the
paramount interests of the conjuncture.
I have all along, during the past six
months and more, said to numberless gen
tlemen, who desired that consent to take
the nomination, that did not desire seat
in Congress; that under no circumstances
could consent to be considered candi-
date; that could not conceive of an exigen-
cy likely to arise where party duty would
or could compel the acceptance of nomi-
nation I did not desire, nor could | allow
my name to be used to defeat the nomina.
ton of any candidate of good standing in
the party. This has been my position, and
cannot allow it to be changed.
My desire has been, and that desire has
been repeatedly expressed, that the people
should be left fee, unimportuned by any
aspirant or his friends, to choose the best
men, unpledged to any person, to represent
them at the convention, and that the dele
gates SO chosen, after an interchange of
views with the co-delegates from the cities
and counties composing the district, would
with impressive unanimity, name the best
man for Congress in the interest of the coun.
try. the State, the district, and the party.
Yours truly, MALONE.

twice in my presence. ] was not able to
detect the slightest movement in his heart
or pulse. When he said he was able to
move bis heart examined and found no
indication of the presence Of heart. |
placed stethoscope against the groin and
perceived the presence Of an organ that re.
sembled the heart fully, 1t was the only
pulsation to be found on that side Of the
body. It would seem as if the man had no
diaphragm. / have no doubt that his ma.
tural ribs are regular and in their right pos
iton From what point are developed the

ALEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27.

THE PRESIDENT, in one of his many de-
fsnsive talks on the subject of his appoint
ment of colored New Yorker to one OF the
lucrative and important Offices of the Dis
trict of Columbia, says the appointee was
"the best colored man he could find for the
position" Why it was essentially requisite
and necessary that the appointee should be
colored is what nobody but the President
seems to know, especially as the Constitu'
ton forbids any distinction on account
of color. But that it must have been 30 is
proved by the fact that the President, in order
to appoint him, had to 60 30 far as to break
the solemn promise of his accredited agents
at Chicago, by which all the territories ex'
cept one, and half the District of Columbia'
were induced to vote for bis nomination,
that he would appoint territorial and dis
trict men to territorial and district Offices.

How THE POPE LIvEs.-The Pope, now

How THE POPE L1vEs.-The Pope, now
seventy. eight years old, leads very regu-
lar life and is in fair condition of health.
At a. m. he celebrates mass in bis private
chapel. At seven he break fasts on a
cup of chocolate and milk, with sometimes
raw eggs beaten up. Immediately after
wards he receives the visits of his court, and
Cardinal Jacobini reports what has occurred
in the world and gives him an account Of
the letters received on papal business. Be.
sides these official letters others arrive from
all parts of the world, mainly from priests,
missionaries, monks and nuns, while others
contain sums of money from penitents, and
many are petitions for blessing, pecuniary
aid or advice. After these letters in all
languages have been translated and their
contents briefly reported to the Pope.
they are placed in the papal archives. Hun
dreds of kilograms also arrive each day, the
greater part asking for benediction in articulo
morris, which, naturally, often only reach
their destination after the petitioner is
dead. At l o'clock the Pope dimes, and
then retires to his room to rest until the
heat Of the day is past. At 6 p. IN. he repairs
to the Vatican gardens, where his carriage
awaits him. Sometimes he prefers to walk
and to rest in an elegant Eastern Kiosk,
which has recently been erected on the pref
test spot in the gardens, where he takes cot
fee and ices, surrounded by his intimate
friends Precisely at sunset the party
breaks up and the Pope returns to the palace,
as li+ physicians have forbidden him to re-
main out Of doors after that hour on acc ,uat

THE PRESIDENTS WEARINEss.-Tbe Pres
ident was weary man last night, for yes
terday, in company with Dr.. Ward, he had
explored q half dozen lakes and ponds, tray
cling in all distance of twenty miles, one
fourth of the journey being made 90 foot.
They took their trolling lines along, but as
they returned without any fish, neither of
them was willing to admit that they had
had a days fishing. The one unhappy mo-
ment of the journey was when they passed
Col. A. 81. Belo, of the Galveston Ne'rs. on
Long pond, who triumphantly held up for
their inspection a four-pound salmon trout.
A deer got into the lake in front of Saranac
Inn while the President was eating his
breakfast yesterday morning, and it was
proposed to drive it ashore and give Mr..
Cleveland shot at it. Two guides pulled
towards the animal with all their might,
but like the bear which was in the lake the
day before, it got ashore unhurt, notwith-
standing that three balls from Winchester
rifle skirted over the water in dangerous
proximity to it. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Cleveland entertained at the cabin Mr.. and
Mrs. W. 81. Corning, of Cleveland, relatives
of Senator Payne.

THE CANAL CoNyENTIoN.-The results of
the canal convention at Syracuse, n. Y, are
very gratifying to the merchants of New
York, who recognize the fact that the COM
mericial supremacy of New York depends
to very large extent on the Erie canal.
That the convention will Ia influential in
directing legislation favorable to the canals,
no doubt is entertained. 1t is probable that
even the railroads, which have in the past
made attempts to obtain control Of the ca
nails or to cripple their usefulness, will see
the folly of attempting to oppose the strong
public opinion in favor of enlarging and i'm.
proving the canals. Several of the dele.
gates speak Of the presence of the Maryland
delegation as pleasing as we'll as signif.
cant feature of the convention.
