Virginia Politics.

The nomination OF DR.. Jno. B. Lawson by the
democrats in the Norfolk (second) congress-
sonal district completes democratic nomina-
tons in every district. This district is largely
republican, but went democratic at the recent
gubernatorial election. The republicans have
thus far put up candidates in three districts,
first. second and ninth, but Langston will I'M
doubtedly be a candidate in the fourth. Hume
independent democrat) In the eighth will DO
supported by the republicans. Wise in the
third, Posey in the fifth, Tucker, sixth. O'Fer-
rail-, seventh, and Edmunds in the tenth are
without opponents, and in each case it
is a denomination. Buchanan's opposition
in the ninth is said to be merely
nominal, as his opponent is new
conner and has never voted in the state, sew
erai leading resident republicans of the district
having declined a nomination. Malone will
undoubtedly do his utmost TO defeat Langston
in the fourth, and there being two republican
candidates III both the first and second the re-
suit is in doubt.

The Heroic Act Of Two American Sailors
Fifty Recognized.

On the Esd Of January, 1888, one Of the ee-
verest storms ever known passed over the Gulf
OF Mexico. The steamship Louisiana Of the
Cromwell line, plying between New Orleans
and New York, was on her regular trip, when
bark was noticed struggling in the tempest.
Signals of distress were observed, and as the
steamer came nearer it was seen that the little
vessel was wholly at the mercy Of the waves
and the crew were olinging to the rigging.
Certain death awaited them.
To attempt to 60 to the bark was apparently
useless, az il did not seem possible that any
small boat could live for q moment in the ter
rife sea. Nevertheless the captain Of the
Louisiana called for volunteers and Capt.
Belts, the second officer Of the Louisiana, and
Joseph Kowski volunteered, and with a crew to
man the boat they launched forth to the rescue
of the crew OF the doomed bark. 1t proved to
be the Pauline Sebbira Of Sweden. This rescue
was not merely dangerous; it was accomplished
in the face Of almost certain death. Few, in
deed, that remained on the steamer believed
that those who sailed forth upon that dreadful
sea would ever return. In the midst Of the
utmost peril. however. the crew OF the Sebbira
were rescued and brought in safety to the
Louisiana.
The attention of the State Department was
called to this brave act by DIR. Colegrove Of
this city some three years since. and after con-
siderable delay and correspondence DR.. Cole
grove has received from the Secretary OF State
the following: "Adverting to your letter of the
LIST November, 1889, in regard to rescue Of the
captain and crew of the bark Pauline
Sebbira by Capt. Belts of the steamer
Louisiana, January %. 1883, have now the
pleasure Of informing you that note has been
received from the minister of Sweden and Nor
way. of the 24th instant, transmitting two sal
wage medals which his majesty, the king, has
pleased to confer upon Messrs. John Belts and
Joseph Kowski in rec ognition of their bravery"
DR.. Colegrove has the medals. which are ex-
tremely handsome in design, and will deliver
them to the heroes for whom they are intended
The brave men have expressed the greatest
satisfaction Mt the gracious act Of his majesty,
the King of Sweden and Norway. in thus
recognizing their efforts to save the lives Of
the imperiled crew. Capt. Belts has been pro-
NOTED by the Cromwell Company and Is now in
command Of the steamship New Orleans.
