lNDIhNAPoLIs, January 13th.-Ye esterday
was Virginia day with the President-elect.
his principal visitors being large delega-
ton of prominent Republicans from ten
Congressional districts in Virginia, who
came here to urge the appointment of Gen.
eral William Malone to place in the
Cabinet. They came as 8 delegation ap.
pointed by the Republican Committee of
Virginia, at its meeting December 18Th, to
convey to The Prosident-elect certain reso-
lutions adopted at that meeting in the
interest OF the appointment of General Ma
hone. They also brought memorial
signed by the Republican members elect of
the Virginia Legislature to the same effect.
General Harrison received the delegation
in the back parlor
In his address 10 the President-elect, Mr..
Craig said they asked the appointment of
General Malone 10 the Cabinet because that
was the almost unanimous decision of the
party in Virginia. He made a strong argu-
ment to show that if the South was TO have
place in the Cabinet, Virginia should get
1t, and in that event Malone should be
recognized He said all the efforts to break
the solid South had failed, and in fact the
Republican organization in Virginia was
abandoned, till i'll 1879 Malone led the
liberal movement whereby over so 600 ex-
Confederates and their sons united with
the faithful band of Republicans. As to
the opposition against General Malone in
Virginia, it practically amounted TO moth
ing
Several other members made talks for
Malone. General Harrison was an atten-
tive listener, and after cordially welcoming
the visitors and expressing pleasure at
meeting them, he briefly stated in substance
that the matter presented should receive
his careful consideration
The Virginians expressed themselves as
greatly pleased with their visit, and espe
cially their cordial reception by General
Harrison.

RaisisA Culture.

A number of the vineyardtsts in this.
county turned their attention to raisin-
making with profit. The Dixon Tribaae;
in speakingsof the subject, says:
1t is passing strange that while it is con-
tended on all sides and by the best author
tics that the raisins produced in Solano
county are superior to those grown in anp
ether past of the State. ncsexcepting the,
famous Malaga district of Fresno county,
that greater acreage is not set to that
important industry. There are only one
or two vineyards of any note in northern
Solano, although the soil is admieably
adapted TO raisin-growirg. DIR. Wells, the
pioneer rsisin-grower of Solsno county,
planted his first vines cn a small tract of
land that he could not utilizs for any other
purpose. and even nov his Justly famous
Muscatelle vineyard eovers bat rev acres
of ground, but the doctor realizes more
from his raisins each year than from the
remainder of his large farm, which is
planted to cereals. We are constantly
hearing complaints that wheat-growing is
no longer profitable business. Then why
do not our farmers abandon it, at least in
part, for one which is bound to prove re-
munerative after q few years, even if ord +
nary care is taken, as there is always. a
good market, the supply never being en rsl
to the demand The vineyards of So.
lane are entirely free from phyl.oxera
and other pests common to raisin-f rowing
, districts. A few acres planted to ines will
neve, be missed from the mai.n BODY OF
land, and will prove constant source OF

NEW YORK AppKA1sER,s OFFICE
Secretary Fairchiid Personally Investigat-
ing the Frauds.

Secretary Fairchiid Personally Investigat-
ing the Frauds.
NEW YORK, January 12th.-The frauds in
the Appraisers Office are even more extern
sive than at first supposed. Secretary Fair
child is on here to investigate the matter
personally. The shower" has begun and
the names of Assistant Appraiser Sturgis
and Examiner Hammill, of the tobacco
division, and Examiner Bardwell, of the
wool division, were all sent to Washington
for removal from office
Sturgis and Hammill will be removed
because of frauds in the importation of
Sumatra tobacco, which ought to have paid
75'cents a pound duty, but was permitted
to be released upon a valuation of only So
cents.
Bardweli goes because, under his admin
istration, wool noils, which ought to have
paid l0'cents per pound were admitted at
an differentiation by which certain lucky
importers got them through at Just half
that rate.
Another discovery made is that Appraiser
McMullin's signature to important invoices
instead of being personally made, was
stamped with rubber stamp used ny any,
body in the office. In two cases the matter
is made even worse By the allegation of a
special agent that the pretended signatures
on two of the invoices in question aye dated
after Appraiser McMullin had been re-
moved from Office by Secretary Fairchild's
orders. This discovery is most important
and is the gravest reflection Upon Nc
Mullins administration which has yes
come to light.
