STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

Fifty-four commercial travellers of Rich
mond have signed call for meeting to
form an organization to aid In the defeat OF
Malone.
The democrats have made the following
additional legislative nominations: Gooch'
land, Reuben Ford; Lunenburg, W. l.
Bridy forth both for the House.
Tomorrow the anti-Mahone republicans
will hold conference at Richmond to de-
termine their line of action toward Malone
10 the present canvass. The most important
question to be determined at this meeting
seems to be whether the kickers shall put
up a separate ticket or vote out and out
for the democrats. The indications are that
they will adopt some compromise course,
and while not agreeing to support their old
enemy, will not commit themselves to the
democratic candidate. The conference will
be attended by Messrs. w. P. Graves, Lewis
Mckenzie and probably others from this
city.

a white patch on the side, where he seem.

other. at last discovered why be patron
lad my cabin he came to get drink from
the water Jug. This he could do easily
enough when the water wes high, but when
the supply got low he could not reach it.,
but he wasn't baf1ed, by any means
One day while lying in my berth
I saw him climb the handle OF the
Jug, but when he got to the top be was una.
ole to reach down to to the water, try as he
might. After while he seemed to give it
up as bad job and sat disconsolately on
the edge of the vessel. Suddenly he turned
round and lowered his stern into the pitcher
and let himself down until his whiskered
snout was barely, visible; he then reclimbsd
10 his original position on the jug handle
and carefully licked every rop of water oil
his tail. The ounniog little fellow had dip.

THE FACT of holding government Office

to the unanimous opinion of the three gen.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
MIR. Dear Sir: have just seen, 70: the first
time, q letter from Major Horace Lacy, In
which he states that Gen. Lee had spoken
to me in the highest terms of Gen. Malone.
l am greatly surprised at this statement OF
Mejor Lacy, because come time ago, year
or more perhaps, he asked me if l had any
recollection of such a conversation with
Gen. Lee, and replied emphatically that l
had not. Gen. Lee never said anything OF
the sort to me on the occasion referred to or
at any other time. nor do believe that be
ever entertained the opinion attributed to
him. Gen. Lee may have made Maj. Lacy
his confidant, but be certainly did not do me
that honor. I am very respectfully yours,

perform useful service without involving

fensive."
Now, that was just the way right-think-
ing people all over the country liked to hear
the President talk, because what ne said
was true and was in accordance with good,
plain common sense. And yet, last week,
hardly three months after Mr.. Harrison had
spoken these words of soberness and truth,
he, through his Postmaster General. Mr..
Wanemaker, abolished the postoftice at
Luverne, Alabama, because the white peo-
pie OF that town, the only people who re-
csive any mail there, refused to 90 on the
bond, or to rent house to an Objectionable
negro whom he had appointed postmaster
there. Mr.. Harrison has also appointed
numerous negro postmasters in Virginia
