Congress in the Alexandria district,
there yesterday, say if the latter is like
most other people he will not desire to
meet the former on the stump again, US
he was presented in such ridiculous
aspect that though the audience was
almost, if not quite, unanimously against
him, their feeling of opposition was iost
in that of pity. He was compelled to
acknowledge that his desertion of the
democratic party was no new thing win
him, and forced to confess that though
he had taken part in democratic con-
yention, he voted against the nomi-
nee thereof and for a republican.
Among the visitors here to-day IS U.
s. Marshal Watts Of the western dis
trict ofVirginia. Mr. Watts says Col.
Marshall will be the democratic candi-
date for Congress in the 9th district, and
that probably Newberry or Snavely
will be run against and will beat him,
as the republicans and the third par
ty men will unite. He says the third
party numbers about three thousand in
that district, nearly all of whom have
heretofore voted the democratic ticket.
He says he doesn't known anything
about the Petersburg district though he
attended the recent meeting of the re-
publican State committee at Richmond,
except that if General Malone wants
the congressional nomination there
though he doesn't believe he does-he
can get ii without any trouble, and,
what's more, that if nominated he will
be elected, and that even Langston will
support him.
ii is reported here that Representa-
tive McCreary of Kentucky, democrat,
being convinced that his appointment
as member of the monetary commits
sion is unconstitutional, has declined to
accept it. The bill creating the COM
mission was passed by the Congress OF
which he was a member, and the Con-
stitution provides that no Senator or
Representative shall, during the time
for which he was elected, be appointed
to any office which shall have been
created during such time. Senators
Allison and Jones, republicans, who
were appointed with Mr.. McCreary,
have not as yet intimated any intention
of declining their appointments.
Acting Secretary Spaulding said to-
day that inasmuch as the appointment
OF Mr.. George Cake as an immigrantin-
spector was made by Secretary Foster,
he has concluded to defer action in the
matter of the charges against him until
the Secretary's return to the city next
week. Cake is charged with bigamy.
Acting Secretary Spaulding said to-
day that the Treasury Department will
be liberal in granting leaves of absence
to employees of the customs service i'll
all parts of the country desiring to par
ticipate in the Grand Army encamp-
ment here next month, and that the
privilege of visiting the cncampment
will be granted to all G. A. R. employ
ees who have not yet exhausted their
regular annual leave.
At this mornings session of the flor
lists the nominations for officers of the
society made yesterday were confirmed
by election. "Flowers for Holiday De-
mands" was the subject of q paper read
by Henry Young of st. Louis.
Messrs. Payne, Parish and Maupin, of
Charlottesville, Va, are here to-day to
purchase the horses belonging to the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad,
but for which that road has now no use,
as it has substituted cable for horse
power. They say the third party's
strength in Albemarle county will net
exceed fifty votes. They also say they
have heard since they came here that
Gen. Malone has offered to bet $4,000
that Virginia will not go democratic
next November If he will bring or
send that money to Charlottesville, they
say, it will be covered in two hours.
Congressman Meredith of the Alex
andria, Virginia, district, passed
through here this morning on his way
to Aide, Loudoun county, in that dis
trict, where large number of his con-
stituents will assemble to attend Bap-
fist meeting to be held to-day.

Harrison Bradley, Of Illinois, to be U.
