HON. {. c. VENABLe'S SPEECH
Prepared to be Delivered when His Seat

PETERSBURG, Va, sept. IL Special. ri
Hon. l.. c. Vcnable will publish tomorrow
in the lndeX-Appeal the speech he prepared
for delivery in the contest, and which hc
was prevented from delivering by the re-
fusal of the Republican majority 10 allow
him or any Democrat To- debate the case.
He makes the following reference TO
Speaker Reed: "When the Congress as
sembled the small majority Of the dominant
party, and the determination 10 adopt eX-
IRENE party measures, were deemed 10 have
made il necessary TO Increase this majority
by unseating number of members. OF
course contests had been made with
a view to this contingency. The
absence Of Democratic contestants was
not an evidence, as has recently been said
Of the fairness Of the elections in the dis.
tricts in which Republicans were returned,
but was an evidence Of the preNa-
lcncc Of the opinion that Demo-
cratic contestant could not get justice. De
nunciatiOns Of the Committee on Elections

have passed. as the mere ebulitlOn OF party

be permitted 10 comment on the want OF
good taste exhibited IN calling general
public attention 10 the discreditable
work i'm which the committee was engaged.
Nothing could more disturb the conscience
Of scrupulOus Judge than the conscious
ness that his precOnceptiOns or bias might
weigh in his judgments, and TO be told
by the author OF his official being that
his prejudices were expected TO mould
MS judgment is probably the most exquisite
form of insult yet invented. James IL.
would not have wounded the tender suscep-
tiblities Of Jcnreys by proclamins the ne
cessity for judicial murders. The judgment
in this case is a matter Of little personal
concern 10 me or mine
The whole speech is a bitter review OF
the discreditable conduct of the Republican
majority in contested election cases. Mr.
Nenable denOunces the report of the Repub-
lican Committee on Elections. and says that
he needed no defense and asked no iayors.

Malone VIII not Run for Congress
Fourth District Republican Plans.

PETERSBURG, Va, sept. Il Special l--
THE TINES correspondent to-day asked a
prominent Republican, who is an intimate
friend OF General Malone, what truth there
was in the rumor that the Genera! would
probably be a candidate for Congress from
the Fourth Congressional District Of Viz
ginia. His reply was. that there was no
truth i'm the report and that General Ma
hone had no idea whatever Of being can
didate for Congress. II l. under
stood that the probabilities are that
the white faction Of the MahOne
wing OF the Republican party will not
make any nomination. but that the cOl0red
people Of the district who are friendly to
Malone and opposed to Langston will proba-
bly, pilt up a candidate The names of three
cOlored men, one residing in Petersburg.
and the other two in NOtt0way and Prince
Edward counties. have been spoken in con-
nectiOn with the nomination. Ii is pretty
well understood that General Malone will
use all of his influence 10 defeat Langston
should he be a candidate for Congress from
this district at the next fall election, a. he
will no doubt be.

duced her own letter. and demanded to

LISBON, Sept. 27.-The patriotic fever that
has been raging here with or more or less
virnlence since the beginning OF the year,and
that has led 10 the commission Of no end Of
absurdities on the part of those attacked by
the disease, has now nearly spent It's force,
and the citizens Of this and other
towns are realizing that the fer
vid street and other demonstrations
had no other excuse than foolish b0mbast.
They are convinced that no genuine popular
feeling melted these Outbursts. and that
their only effect has been 10 cripple the
commerce Of the country. This is shown
not only by the large falling of in the col
lectiOns at the custom-houses here and at
OpOrtO but in the general decrease Of busi.
ness throughout the kingdom. According
to 10 COmmerciO, the leading commercial
organ. the transactions Of the Lisbon dealers

up One-third of their average sales. Even
dealers i'm the necessarics Of life have sut-
fered. owing 10 the stoppage of credits. The
