All the people who attended the recent
meeting of the Mahoheites in Petersburg
are not dead in love with General Malone.
One OF them who was here 20 day says it
was impossible for him to tell whether the
General wants to be the republican candi-
date for Governor, or wants to remain
chairman Of the party organization 80 as to
make fight for republican majority IN
the legislature, by securing which he can
come back to the U. 8. Senate, seat in
which he likes better than ell other places
for what reason he knows best.

licans in the next Congress from Virginia.

A member of the Tammany Society o.
New York, here to-day, says the true feeling
of the vast ma ority of the members of the

toned to Mahoneite, the latter smiled
satirically and said BRADY knows he is
! beaten, but naturally dislikes to acknowi
edge it. Ee wants to come back badly, but
he must do 30 without special invitation,
snd only as a private in the ranks. General
of the other kckers has a following that
amounts to any thing, and consequently
will not treat with them, as in his opinion
negotiations with them would make them
something, whereas by ignoring them they
are nothing"
People from Harrisonburg, Va, here to-
day eey the reason Gen. Roller made such
an effort TO have MIR. Sullivan appointed
postmaster at that town has been developed
by the fact that his brother had bsen ap-
pointed deputy postmaster there.
A vigorous effort is being made here by some
suti.Mshoneites to have the postmaster at Upper.
Vile, Virginia. who wes appointed under re-
publican administration, retained. 1t is said that
his retention has been requested by all those who
are served with mail at the office, republicans as
we'll as democrats except two of the former, who
are applicants for the place, one of whom can
neither read nor write and has agreed, if he shall
get it. to divide the salary with man whe IS
compete,t t to discharge the duties Of the office.
