THE SHIPPING BILL.
The army appropriation bill monopo-
lied the attention OF the House to-day
and shut out the shipping bill. Hartford
Convention Lodge made q speech IN an
swer 10 Stone of Missouri, who went for
the Oscar Wilde" member from Massa-
chusetts on account of the force-bill bust
ness and his connection Herewith. Mr..
Lodge made a speech that seemed to suit
the Republicans, but he did not do any
Democrats much harm.
The shipping bill advocates will probably
try to call up that measure tomorrow IN
the House. Nearly all of the Democratic
members, regardless of section. will vote
against this bill. Judge Waddill, of Virginia.
is one of the doubtful members as regards
this measure. He is, however, inclined to
vote for the bill, he says, If he is certain
that il will result in benefit &c the COM
merce Of Virginia, aud particularly to
Richmond. He says also that before the
war Richmond had a bigger coffee trade
with Brazil than any commercial centre,
and If this bill can revive that trade he will
support IL.
lie WANTS TO KNOW.
There have been no pronounced mani
festations from Richmond businessmen
for or against the bill that Judge Waddill
knows OF, and he would like to hear from
some of the leading merchants on the sub
ject.
mind how he will vote until he examines
more carefully the bill in order TO find out
whether II will really benefit shipping OF
whether II is in the interest of clique of
men who grab oil the benefits of le2lsla-
tioD.
LANGsIos's CAN'T.
Here's story that will seem odd bat it
Is learned on the best authority that Lang
ston, in order to get away with Malone, Is
trying to have the Malone postmasters in
the Fourth district turned out and is re-
commending Democrats for the places.
A prominent Virginia Republican says
that he heard tins story, but could
not believe ii until he went TO the depart
ment and was shown in LangstOn's own
handwriting recommendations IN favor OF
Democrats. Langston being asked why he
did this is credited with having stated that
