Congressman Burrows, of Michigan, who
has been stamping for Gen. Malone in Vir-
ginia, arrived here this morning from Fred
ericksburg, where he and General Malone
spoke last night. He Gays the only inter
ruption to last nights meeting was made by
man who asked Gen. Malone about his
use of tissue ballots, and that the General
shut him up by saying that the man who
said or intimated that he, Malone, had ever
used, advised, or suggested the use of tissue
ballots is falsi6er and the truth ia not in
him. Mr.. Burrows says the General will
certainly be elected, if not cheated in the
count. A Virginia democrat who heard
what Mr.. Burrows said remarked that with
the direct and positive proof that Gen. Ma
hone had used tissue ballots when Hinton
was his Congressional candidate, and al
ready had them printed for use at the com.
ing election, his denial thereof showed his
possession of q phenomenal amount OF ef-
frontery.
There is no doubt of the fact that PTesi-
dent Harrison is entirely out of accord with
the managing and working element of his
party. Not only are Senators Cameron,
Quay, Cullom and Farwell in open revolt
against him, but numerous other Senators,
among them Senators Plumb, Henderson
and Spooner. They say he is monumental
migrate. 1t is stated that three. fourths of
the appointments In Indiana were made, mot
only without the recommendation of, but
even without consulting the republican
members of Congress from that State. The
open revolt Is 80 extensive that 1t can not be
told now who will be the Presidents repro.
sentative in either branch of Congress, and
already many of the Presidents appointees
have been informed that their nominations
will either be held up or rejected.
In the year 1878 Richard Arell and
Eleanor, his wife, decided to Rev. DR.. Thorn
and others of Alexandra, the lot on south
Fairfax street, in that city, on which the
1st Presbyterian Church now stands, on
which to build aPresbyterian meeting house,
and to be used forever for the purposes such
church. The Arell heirs, some of whom
reside in this city, having heard that the
building on the lot is no longer used for
church purposes that its pastor has re-
signed that no successor has been called,
and that the congregation has gone to an
other church, are making arrangements for
instituting legal proceedings for the recovery
of the property.
Intelligence here to-day from Ohio is to
GQ6 6u6Cb GQ6U tQ0G6 Will 10 SOt0u tuOu-
sand more white democratic, than white re-
publican votes polled in that State, that the
result of the election depends upon the ne.
gro vote thereof, that there is some threat
ened detection in the colored vote there.
and that it ia to correct that detection that
Laugston, of Virginia, and Lynch, the negro
4th auditor OF the Treasury, have been sent
there.
Congressman Cheadle, of Indiana, repub.
licsp, Is here to-day from campaigning tour
for General Malone in Virginia. He says
he has spoken in many places In that State
and has never been treated at any OF them
with nything else than courtesy and even
kindness He says that 30 far as his ex.
perience goes, northern republican speakers
receive as kind treatment in Virginia as
southern democratic speakers would re.
ceiye in the North. He says it seems to
him that there Is more enthusiasm among
the republicans of Virginia than among the
democrats. He also says that IN petersburg
and in Notaway and LuneDburg counties
there is some little negro detection at pres.
emit, but that be thinks it will sll be re-
moved by election Gay, and that the negro
vote of the State will be practically solid.
A well known sporting man of this city, Vir-
pinian. who recently received a letter from Rich-
mond telling him to take all bets that were Of
fered on General Mahone's election, says he has
diligently sought for bets on Malone but can ind
none to take.
Democrats here to-day from Washington coun-
~. Va. and from the Danville district Of that
State, say the democratic organization is by no
means as perfect in those sections as it might be,
while the Mahoneites have all their forces well in
hand and will have every man at the polls.

fees of Virginia were made to-day: Falmouth,
