letter from Petersburg to tho Nor
folk Ledger says: 1.-The idea of Gen.
Malone and John NJ. Langston going
together as delegates to the national
republican convention strikes many
people as somewhat strange in view Of
the former hostile relations existing pc
tween these two leading Republicans of
the Two races. 1t verifi-s tho truth of
the old axiom that politics makes
strange bed-fellows." 1t is said that
their election as delegates has been
formally decided upon, and it is pretty
certain that they will head at least one
Of the Virginia delegations to Minneap-
