can committee of Pittsylvana county anu

county. MIR. Peasants being chairman OF Inc
town committee. ,c
MIR. Sam Kimberley, Of Norfolk, last sat
urdav asked General Malone to endorse his
ennlicalion for the customs house at that
mort The General told him he should shoot
at something within reach, which that was
mot as he wanted that place for his frlend

all his. KimberIey's, misfortunes were the
result of the support he had given him, MA

Elk. Congressman Brady. OF Virginia, has
gone back to his home in Petersburg, but Is
eypected to return about the middle OF the
week. andIo be appointed collector OF inter
nal revenue for his district. He said before
he left that the appointment of Mr.. Farr did
not mean that the President would give the
patronage OF Virginia to General Malone,
but indicated that he would distribute 1t
among all the different elements of the party,
and that having recognized Malone in the
Farr appointment, he would probably take
his next Virginia appointee from among
those who are known as anti Malone men.
Whether Mr.. Jesse Wilson will be appoint
ed one of the District Commissioners or not IS
unknown, but it is known that the Presi-
dent sent for him recently and bad long
talk with him.
Among the strangers in the city TO day
was Mr.. Cooper, thu agent of the foreign
holders of Virgina's bonds He says he
gained COUPON cults to the amount OF
lSll 600 in Alexandria to-day, and
that about $4,000 of Vireinia's
taxes would ne paid this year in cou-
mons. a little more than last year. He says
| he confidently expects the decision of the
| u 3. Supreme Court in the coupon cases
next October will he in favor OF the hond-
holders. and that he hopes the next legisla,
ture will then accept the favorable terms for
the settlement of the debt that have
already been offered by Virginia's creditors.
He saws he knows nothing at all about the re-
ported mission of Messrs. Henderson and Par
sons to Europe to settle Virginia's debt, and is
induced to believe that if they have gone on
any such mission, they are self appointed.
He also says that few Or no English and
| Amsterdam bankers hold any of Virglnia'5
bonds, and that nearly all the foreign bond
holders are or will be represented by the
council of foreign bondholders of which he
| is the accredited agent.
Col. Clark, Clerk of the t. S. House of
Representatives, has decided to print all The

for the Virginia State Senate, but now, like
40 many of the other VirgOians who follow
ed the General out of the democratic party,
not on good terms with him, left here this
afternoon for bis present homo in Missouri.
The Colonel says he regards the Generals
affairs now with sort Of regretful indiiler-
ence. but that from what he hears as he can't
read much, on account of his defective eye
sight. he is disp sed to think that up to date
al least the indications here are rather iav-
orable to Malone. He says he understands
that the postoffice in Petersburg will be put
at the Generals disposal, but that that at
Richmond will be given to Wise man, that
ia. if Wise shall still claim residence in
Richmond, if not, TO friend OF Judge Wad.

mum, deceased but that Senator German is MT
| Barbour's favorite for chairman.
Virgininia republicans here say rs Mr. H.
Farr who has recently boon appointed U. S. Mar
shall for tho eastern district of Virginia, halls

| now, of Alexandria, will be appointed internal
revenue collector for the Lynchburg district, rs
it is hardly probable that two such prominent OIL
fees will be given to the Congressional dis
trict.
