letter from Petersburg says: "It is not
believed here, as has boon intimated in several
qusr.crs, that General Malone will allow himself
10 be nominated for Congress in the Fourth dis
trict next fall. The defeat of his party in recent
campaigns, especially the signal defeat it mot
with last fall will probably keep him from coming
directly before the people AZ a candidate for any
position. He will have no difficulty in securing
the candidacy of one of his friends in this Dist ict
He is power in his party yet, and will exercise
that power, though he has tho same enemies and
organic atoms within his party to contend against
that fought him with such vigor last year. There
is no doubt that there will be two republican cor
ventions and two republican candidates again
this year"
