Respecting the Petersburg district, in Vir-
einia, it is learned that Professor Langston
J saws be is confident of the republican con-
gressional nomination in that district, and
that he saws all he wants is free and fair
6oht and for General Malone to keep his
hands eff. He says be doesn't want any
money, as his race has large majority in
the district and wants to be represented, and,
he adds, the district has not been we'll rep
resented of late years. 1t is understood that
General Malone will comply with the Pro.
fsssor's wish, and will take no part in the
congressional convention there, nor express
SOW preference between Mr.. Gains. the pre-
sent representative, and the Professor, who,
up to date, are the only avowed candidates.

Representative Brown OF the Danvlle
district, Virginia, says the only way he sees
by which the question of the republican
electoral ticket in his State can be settled, is
for each of the republican congressional
conventions, when they shall meet, to APP
poin. its own elector He said that so far
as be was concerned, he would favor such q
plan, and be supposed General Malone
would as from, what he could learn most, If
mot all of those conventions would appoint
Malone electors.
General Malone is still here. at Chamber
lain's. He has had frequent consultations
with leading republican politicians but
chic with Senator Sherman, with whom
he Is on the most intimate terms, driving
and taking meals with him. When asked
about the differences 10 bis party in Vir-
ginis. he replies TO the effect that nothing
vet has b. ell determined upon, but that the
future will tell 1t is thought here by many
republicans that the General will not be a
very earnest worker in the coming cam
paipn, for two reasons first, because Brady,
with whom and Wise, he will have nothing
to do, though he is making up with most OF
the other kicker5, is the Virginia member OF
the national repuhl can committee; and

Blaine influence will pre- ominate hls adj
ministration, aud that il flnence will always
be against him.
CLOCKS more and more as if the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Fuller for Chief Justice would
not be confirmed. When it was first made
il was said that the two Illinois Senators,
Mr. Soooner, and Mr.. Riddleberger would
vote for it, but since then change seems to
have come over the dreams of at least some,
if not oil of the Senators named, and what
the result may be nobody now is certain. Ii
is iutimated that while all the democrats in
the Senate wii vote for confirming the nom
ination, some Of them will not break their
hearts a crying for lis rejection.

Senator Allison says he thinks the Mills
bill will reach the Senate about the 2Oth
inst; that when it does, the Senate will
have it's own bill ready, and, after short
debate, will pass it; that the bill will then
be referred to q conference committee, IN
which the democrats will Insist upon free
wool and the republican upoa wool duty;
that in that committee the bill will die CT a
dead lock, and that the session will end
about the 18th proximo. The object the re,
publicans of the House have in delaying a
vote on the bill is that they may bring out
all of what they suppose are its weak points
and what will make for them gooG campaign
capital.
