Among the congressman at the Capitol
this morning were Rspres eGtetives Mills,
CatchiDgs, Bynum, Chapman and Peel. The
two former requested the GAZETTE's cores
pendent to print that they, az well as the
other three, think it would be we'll If Chair
man Gordon. of the State democratic COM
mittee, would call that committee together,
and have them adopt formal resolution
thanking Senator Blair, and Repre-
Brumm and the other norther n
republicans, who went to Virginia
to instruct Virginiaus about the manage
and effective assistance they mad rendered
the democracy of that State.
A prominent Virginia democrat here this
afternoon, who was at the headquarters OF
the Virginia democratic State committee in
Alexandria this morning, says he learned
there that the democratic majority in the
State 60 fa5 is forty one thousand, and that
out of q possible one hundred, the demo-
Gratis have elected eighty five delegates to
the legislature. aud out of a possible twenty
one, have elected nineteen State Senators.
They have gained two Senators In the 4th,
one of the black belt districts, and reduced
the republican majority there from eleven
thousand to one thousand.
Senator Voorhees, and Representative By
mum, of Indiana, the latter the gentleman
who made democratic speech in
Alexandria the night before the election,
were interviewed here to day on the subject
OF the recent election The latter said the
victory in Virginia made him feel like an
innocent in his State, who, having been
kent In Jail for six months on the charge OF
obtaining fifty cents on false pretenae, when
acquitted, pulled off his hat AID, waving IL
over mis- head, shouted out "lnrrah, there's
life 10 democracy yet." Senator Voorhees,
said the cause OF the victories in the North
was the awakening of the people of that sec
ton to the injustice imposed upon them by
a tariff that forced them to pay 80 per cent
more for their clothing and agricultural i'm.
plements than the legitimate price thereof,
and that too, not for revenue for the country.

profits of the few rich protected msnufactu-
rers.

SEVERAL things received stunning blows
at lsst Tuesdays elections in the North, es-
pecially the tariff, the civil service law and
prohibition. The poor people of that section
have learned that though the tariff does
enable their employers to pay them higher
wages, that ability is never availed of i;
they have become disguised with the no.
American civil service reform hypocrisy, land
the prohibition humhug hes been rendered
too transparent to deceive them any longer.
All three should not only be stunned. but
be knocked out entirely.

And it is to such men So the one referred
to, and to those who listened to and believed
all he said, and to bis race. few of whom are
more intelligent than he is; OF else to mora
vicious white men, elevated to Office by their
votes, that President Harrison,a white man,
and the grandson ola VirginiaD, would have
entrusted all the interests of Virginia, in or
der that he might thereby receive the vote
of the State in the next national republican
convention. Yes. Hayes had good cause to

In THE circular addressed to bis friends,
asking contributions to his election fund,
General Malone ssd requests for aid
would not be made upon the oficeholders,
as they wouli be reached by other means.
1t has been discovered that the other means
the General referred to were demands for
specific sums. Every Virginia mail agent
for instance, was assessed $50 and, what's
more, every enc OF them is reported to have
paid that amount, though it was hard for
some to Go go It is understood that the
same means we're applied to all the other
Virg MIA federal Office holders, and with the
same effect II was pay, or stand the con.
sequence of refusal-the consequence, of
course, being removal. These enforced as
sessments, added to sbe $4,000 contributed
by the national republican committee, gave
the General Gil the money he thought
would be required to buy the vote of Vir.
ginia. That he supposed he had sufficient
for that purpose is proved by the fact that
voluntary offers of more, made by political
friends three days before the election, were
declined upon the ground that be had
enough. The Generals experience proves
that money can't buy Virginia.

A GRAND ARMY FIGHT
With the Railroad Companies
About Special Rates.
THE ADMINISTRATIONS POLICY
Towards the Territories Colorado's Catholic
Bishop Dead-Germany and Switzerland
AT the Various Indian Agencies.

CHICAGO, July 10.--The fight between the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
various railroad companies reached an
acute phase this evening. This was the
last day of the period named by the Grand
Army men in which the railroads might
gracefully surrender and give the usual
rate of one cent mile to persons attend
ing the great annual encampment an
nounced to take place this year at
Milwaukee. No surrender was made
by the railroads, and this afternoon the
committee of the Grand Army of the Re
public, who have been agitating the subject,
held meeting here and proceeded with
their attempt to carry out their threat that
in the event of the railroads proving obsti-
nate, the encampment should be made, if
possible, merely an assemblage of dele
gates, instead CT huge popular gathering.
The committee voted to send circular
letter to all the department commanders
throughout the country, Arging that at
tendance on the encampment be limited so
far as practicable in the manner described.
Preparations at Milwaukee for the enter
tainment of the great crowds expected at
the encampm9nt have been virtually sus-
pended, owing to the dispute with the rail
roads and to-day the action of the commit
tee Of commanders, it is feared, may end in
j permanent stOppage of preparations.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Secretary Noble
in, an interview with Delegate Carey, of
Wyoming, today said that the policy of the
administration would be broad and liberal
towards the territories, and that lands
where there were no evidences of min

who settled upon public lands or pur-
chased lands in good faith, should
have their evidences, that this
was his policy and that Acting
Commissioner Ston9 was in accord with
him. The secretary also informed Delegate
Carey that he might say to the settlers of
Wyoming that they should have their pat

every proper encouragement would be given
to efforts looking to the advancement of the
territories and their admission as states
