He says he doesn't show

he Malone collar, but he wears it all tue
ame and that the General is not the kind
f man TO 20 to Chicago if he were not salts
lad that he would be admitted. He says 1t
all bosh and humbug to talk about admit
ing the anti Malone delegates, as they don't
epresent any body but themselves, the one
rom his district, Mr.. Pendleton, being the
,nly kicker in the district. The ex- Narshai,
ike all the other Malone delegates, is
Sherman man. He called upon the Senator
yesterday and says be is in the best ofspirl'e,
and seems confident of receiving the noml-
nation.
R representative Gaines of Virginia says
that be nor any Of the other republican rep
reseptetiyes from Virginia except MIR. iost,
who ia an anti Malone man, will 60 to the
Chicago convention that General Ma.
hone never intimated desire that they
should go, and that yesterday when he In
formed them that he had seats for them in
his Car it was too late as they bed made no
arrangements for leaving the city. He says
the General nor any of the other real repuo
icans of Virginia have ever thought OF what
action they will take il they shall be re-
iected by the Chicago convention, as they
have never contemplated the possibility OF
such contingency.
In the House yesterday Mr.. Bowden In
troduced bill for the relief OF Templey
Noiheet also q petition for the relief OF

The 9th street depot this morning, when
the train containing the delegates to the
Chicago convention started, had very much
the appearance and other conditions incl
deut to the departure of a colored excursion.
The whole place was crowded with Coiored
people, and many of the departing delegates
were o)lored. The train was q long ono,
aud was deco, ated with hags, and bore on
the sides of the cars long strips marked with
the word victory. Both the Malone and
the anti Malone delegates left on it, but OF
course not in the same car. Most OF the
colored delegates were for Sherman, and
from what was going on it was apparent
that all will be by the time they reach
Chicago.
Architect Clarke, of the Capitol. has pre-
pared bronze tablet, which will be inlaid
10 the marble floor of the old hall Of the
House of Representatives to mark the ex-
act place where John Quincy Adams was
stricken BIZ death. 1t bears the inscription,
"John Quincy Adams, Februry 2lst, 1S4S.
Here"
About four hundred Virginia democrats
were present at the meeting held here last
night by the Virginia democratic associa'
ton of this city, to ratify the action of the
st. Louis convention. Senator.elect Bar
bour made very happy and stirring extern
poraneoue speech. Mr. John Goode also
made an excellent speech. in which he en-
dorsed the Presidents last annual low tar
ff message. A letter was read from Gen.
Lee, in which he said the ticket nominated
at St. L ,uis was splendid one, and one
which he was sure would be triumphantly
elected.
The latest Intelligence from Chicago here
to day is that its action more than that OF
any previous national convention ever held
will be, either directly or indirectly, the
result of money. Three of the principal
candidates for the nomination, Depew,
Sherman and Alger, are millionaires, and
their agents will not hesitate to spend it to
further their ends. Sherman will 60 into
the convention with more votes than any
other one man, but with not enough to
nominate. and it is thought his strength will
be higher on the first than on any subse-
queut ballot. The Blaine men still cay that
the nomination Of their man will be neces-
sary to secure harmony as well as speedy
action.
Mr. Frank Hume, Of Alexandria county,
called upon Senator Sherman at the Capt.
toll yesterday with reference to the proposed
Mt. Vernon avenue. The Senator said he
was in favor of such road. but, like most
of the other Senators who have been talked
to on the subject, seemed to think better
plan for securing it would be direct and
simple Congressional appropriation for that
purpose, without any reference to claims of
Virginia or to anything else. He said he
thought bill for such purpose would
pass, and that ne would support it.
The House to-day after little morning bust
ness. among which was the reception ola favorable
report for equipping the militia of the District of
Columbia, took up the army appropriation bill.
There were only seventy members OF the House
present day, nearly all the republican members
having gone to Chicago, and their democratic
pairs home or elsewhere There was only one
virginan in the House to-day, Mr. Browne, of
gone to Chicago. D
Mr.. Hip Lung, Chinese merchant Of Chicago,
recently informed the Secretary of State that he
proposed making a visit to China and bringing
back with him his wife, who has never been in
this country. he asked for information on the
subject His letter was referred to the Secretary
of the Treasury who has informed him that while
there will be no legal objection to his returning
into the U. s his wife will not be permitted to
land except upon the production of the certificate
from tho Chinese Government required by section
of the act OF July &, 1884.
1t was announced in the House to-day that the
consideration of the tariff bill would not be re-
sumed until after the adjournment of the Chicago
conven ton.
