MAYOR ELLYsoN, of Richmond, in his late
address to the business men of his city, IN
favor of repudiating the coupons of Virginia
bonds, said sometime ago we tried to sell
city bonds, but could not sell one outside
the city. The Northern capitalists would
not take them. They were afraid of Vir.
ginias reputation. If one repudiated Rich
mond would repudate." Well, certainly
there was nothiog extraordinary in that.
1t was the most natural thing in the world
not only for Northern, but for any other sort
of capitalists, to suppose that if the State OF
Virginia would try to repudiate her bonds,
her capital city wouldn't hesitate to do the

THE RICHMOND Dispatch says: I'VE once

seemed to try TO 6ud out how the best peo-
pie of Virgiais were going and then to 60 in

the gentleman referred to ia not one of the
''best people of Virginia. and knows moth

people of Virginia, think OF the GAZETTE !;
for every body else in Virginia except him
self knows that the GAZETTE not only goes
in the opposite direction to the way the

ANOTHER PETITION FOR MAHoNE.-

ANO1HEh EllilON FUR All ~ flONH "A
committee of colored men from Virginia and
Maryland waited upon the President-elect
at Indianapolis. yesterday. in the interest of
Gen. Malone for q cabinet place. The
delegation comprised A. W. Harris and W.
W. Evans, members Of the House of Dele
gates of Virginia, and number of others.
This committee was appointed at the same
Washington meeting that named the con-
mittee of white Virginians that visited the
PIesident-eect couple of weeks ago TO
present Gen. Mahone's name. Harris acted
as spokesman, and presented Gen. Harrison
with memorial setting forth what General
Malone had accomplished for his party in
Virginia, irrespective OF color. Gen. Harri
son gave The committee cordial reception
and spent half an hour in conversation with
them, but did not give them any encourage.
NJ emit that x-Uuited States Senator Malone
would be member of his cabinet. While
talking with the delegates General Harri-
son loosely declared that if he could find
seven. men in Alaska he believed he should
put them in his cabinet as means of main
tanning harmony in the States.

The Samoan Affair.

The President yesterday transmitted to
Congress additional correspondence rela-
tive to Samoan affairs. 1t appears from this
correspondence that the State Department
had been officially advised Of a declaration
of wer by Germany agaist Mataafa. and
that advces had been received from Consul
Blackjack to the effect that Germany had
placed the Samoan Islands under martial
law, which was equivalent to their military
occupation Mr. Bayard at once informed
the German government that the German
officials in Samoa would be required to
scrupulousy abstain from all interference
with American citizens and that no jurisdic-
ton over them or their property would be
conceded by this country.
Prince Bismarck replied yesterday that
all foreigners in Samoa had been placed un-
der submission to martial law, but that in his
opinion this was an undue exercise Of mill
tary authority. Therefore instructions had
been given to withdraw that part of the pro
cemation and furthermore the request OF
the German Consul at Samoa to have the
administration of the islands temporarily
put in his charge, pending the negotiations
with Mataafa, had been refused as involving
violation of previous promises regarding
the neutrality and independence of the
islands.
Prince Bismarck action is interpreted in
Washington as an important concession to
this country.

THE IGNORING of General Malone by the
incoming administration, added to the an
tasonisms he has provoked in the republi
can party of Virginia, will very probably be
sufficient to deprive him OF the control of
taa next State republican convention, for the
negroes, MS many white people do, like to
be On the strong side. If this shall be So,
and the anti Malone republicans of the
State assume the management oftheir party,
it is By means improbable, judging from
what such of them as Congressman Yost
aud Brown and ex Congressman Dezandorf
and Libby, say on the subject, as hereto
fore reported in the GAZETTE's Washington

therefore honorable, settlement of the State

If American life or American property IN
Samoa should be endangered, it would De
the business of The United States to lock al

that done, they should let the Samoans sell
tie their own affairs in their own way. 1T

The New States.

Returns from the four new States which
held elections Tuesday are very meagre at
this writing. but enough is known to indi-
cate sweeping Republican victories In North
Dakota and South Dakota and Washington.
Montana is still In doubt, though
Carter Republican, may be elected to Con-
gress and the legislature be Republican.
These four States will add eight members
to the United States Senate, of which the
Republicans will surely get six; and five
representatives fSouth Dakota having two
and the others one EACH, of which the Re.
publicans will get at least four, and probably
the whole. 1t is significant fact that in
Montana, where the Democrats may have
won, they distinctly in their platform
repudiated the tariff reform plank of the ma
tional Democracy. and declared against free
trade. So no claim can be made that
Montana has endorsed the principles Of the
national Democracy as far as the tariff Is
concerned. On the contrary 1t Is practically
admitted that If the Montana Democrats had
marched to the polls under the banner Of
tariff reform" they would have been beaten
out OF sight. The wealth and corporate in
huence is largely In the hands OF the Demo-
Gratis In Montana, and this 10 doubt was
worked for all 1t was worth, and 10 new
State situated as Montana is it is worth a
good deal. One interesting feature Of the
election was that the ballots were cast under
the Australian system. Slow voting and
great deal OF laundering were predicted In
consequence, but the dispatches Indicate
tnat there was very little of either
The Democrats had some little hope of
carrying Washington. but there the Repub-
lican victory seems to have been overwhelm-
ing. In South Dakota the political contest
seems to have been entirely oyershadowed
by the fight for the prohibition and the lcca
tion of the temporary capital. There were
three contestants for the latter hoLor-
Pierre, Huron and Sioux Falls. AT last &C.
counts Pierre was ahead, with Huron second
