Ex-senator Riddleberger left for his home
this morning. Before he started from MS
hotel for the depot, being asked what he
thought of the Presidents congratulatory
message to his 'great and good friend,
Queen Victoria, he promptly replied that it
ought to have been transmitted by Raby
Mckee, Secretary of State. "What OF the
compromise ?'n Brady is unlcaded on
Malone. Now, you just ask Malone how
much of the campaign fund he would give
to get rid of that old man of the sea-"
Virginia democrats here to-day are good
deal amused at the manner In which ten.
Malone has succeeded in gobbling up the
"kickers," and making those who will not
be gobbled of little or no consequences. Ihey
say the only man among the "kiekers" VINO
endorsed the so-called compromise" Dy
which the General retains sole and entire
control of the party in his State, 10 Colonel
Brady and that the fact that the Colonel
was to day appointed internal revenue Gel
lector for the Richmond district shows loo
plainly to require further demonstration the
terms upon which his endorsement was CD
tanned. They say it would have looked bet
ter if the Colonel had not received his pay
on the very same day the official announce
ment of the bargain and sale was made.
Senator Barbour of Virginia is In the city
to day. He says he knows nothing more
about the possible action of the Virginia
democratic convention to be held in Rich
mond next month than what he sees in the
newspapers. He does not think the con-
yention will have any trouble about nomi-
mating it's ticket He says he supposes rep
resentative members OF the convention from
all the districts of the State will meet and
compare notes, and that whoever appears to
be the strongest man will be nominated, and
that it will be the same way with the cleo
ton of the chairman of the State committee.
Mr.. Barbour said he saw by the GAZETTE
that Malone, Aguew and Walker were talk
| ed of as the republican ticket, and that such
| q ticket would be q pretty strong one, az
strong a one possibly az the republicans
could select. He said that in the election

the sunou acement of the famous 'compro'
mise"

city to-day was Mr.. Park Agnew, of Alex
andria, who ia spoken Of as the candidate

kiokers got themselves in hole by submit
ting their case to arbitration. as the nation
q democrats did in 1876, aud that. like the
latter, they must abide the decision. He
saws he hears that Mr.. Lewis Mckenzie, Of
his city, who with General Groner and Col
Brady represented the kickers side to the
national republican executive committee,
saws that if The others think the "compro'
mise" all right, he will not object. MIR. Gus
