Among the evidence that will be present.
ed in the Langston. Venable contested con-
gressioral election case, to show to what
% cane General Malone will resort IN order
to accomplish his purposes-the purpose IN
the case referred TO being the defeat OF
Lappstop-will be printed fac simile OF
the tissue ballot he introduced and used In
h,s district when he was at the head OF the
democratic machine there.
Gen. Groner, of Norfolk, and Col. Bs:ke-
lev. of Farmvile, Va, prominent republic
can "kickcrs" in their State, are here to-
day. The latter has had an interview with
Postmaster General Wanamaker in which
be was informed that the administration
meant to etand by Malone to the full ex-
tent of its power. Col. Berkeley says some
Of the white people in his county who have
heretofore voted the democratic ticket are
going to vote for General Malone. General
Mahone's friends here ssy the General ba-
ees large hopes upon democratic detection.
Some of the anti Malone republicans here
say the proposed conference of their faction
will recommend to the republicans opposed
To Gen. Mahone's methods, either that they
run ticket of their OVID, that they vote the
democratic ticket. or that they stay away
from the dolls. Others say that some of
the most prominent Of their allies are still
trying to induce the administration to give
them something If they will support Ma
hone. and that should it do so those who re-
ceiye the gifts or the promises Will follow
the General as submissively ss ever.
The only change in the All class postof-
fees In Virginia made to day was the follow
ing: Sangervlle, Augusta county, Jacob
F. Splitter appointed postmaster, vice j. W.
Crist, removed.
An inspection Ct the tabular statements of
the exports of this country, issued by the
| Treasury Department, shows that notwith-
standing the "mirstion" kept up in the
North over the immense exports of bread
stuff. and meats, that of cotton is twice as
much. and is now, as heretofore, the coun
| try's main reliance for its export trade. And
vet the republicans are doirg all in their
power to produce trouble in the South,
which trouble must necessarily decrease tie
cotton crop.
The State Department here now is In an
xceedingy quiescent state; nothing but
routine work ls being done there, aud that
is done BY the clerks. Secretary Blaire. II
is now thought, will return and resume con
troll of the Department, at least until the
couolusio of the American commercial con-
vention to be held here next month, and IL
which it is expected all American countries
will be represented, 10 the action of which
he takes some interest. It is supposed thai
the only possible action the convention car
take may be with regard to esta blsbing AT
American standard of f1neness of silver bu
lion and standard American coin. hal
it can do nothing in the way of increasing
trade between the United States and The
her American countries as long as the ex
listing tariff of this country shall continue
goes without saying.
Col. John Popham has been invited by
Gen. Malone to accompany him on his cleo
tioneeripg tour, and has accepted the invi'
tation. The Colonel will prepare the press
accounts of the Generals speeches.
Among the late arrivals here is that oil
Mr.. G. Tyson Butcher, once a candidate for
Congress In the 9TH, Va, district, but now
praciicing law in the West.
The action of the Iowa democrats yester.
day in declaring for low tariff is said by
democrats from various parts of the North
west, here to. day, voice the sentiment OF all
the democrats in that section Of tho country
aud nae ms that the national democratic
party in 1892 will be even more pronounced
| In favor OF low tariff than it was in 1855
and that its chances of success will in con
sequence, be greatly increased
! The Virginia democrats in Balii more are TALK
! ing about organizing club there for the purpose
] of sending such Of their State people there who
have not lost residence in Virginia and who are
legally entitled to vote there. back to the State
/ next November, IN orier that they msy vote the
| democratic ticket.
