FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.l
WASHINGTON, August "A.

Senator Morgan, in talking to-day
aboutPresidentH arrison's latest retalia-
tory proclamation against Canada, said it
was perfectly iustifable and if it shall
not produce the desired efecs shoUid
he SUPP cmented with another one even
more stringent. He said probably Can
ada would retaliate and that this coun-
try might suffer n consequence, but
that nothing is more certain than the
fact that Canada would suffer a great
deal more. He said Canada could
hardly support her population during
the winter without food from this coun-
try. Continuing, the Alabama Senator
said, Canada always had been dis
agreeable neighbor, and was naturally
so, as many of the tories of this country
took shelter there after the Reyolu-
tionary W.. and had.increased and null
tiplied there.
The Treasury Department has COM
municatcd with the agents ofthe steam
ship companies, whose ships ply be-
tween Hamburg and Bremen and Balti-
more, requesting them to have their
steamers report at the Cape Charles
quarantine station, Va, before proceed
ing up Chesapeake Bay. The steamers
will be inspected by the officers of the
Marine Hospital Service at the quaran-
tine station.
An intelligent newspaper correspon-
dent Just returned here after month
spent in western Pennsylvania and New
FORK, says the farmers in that section
of country are alliance men but not
members of the third party, and that
though most of them have hereto
fore been voting the republican ticket,
great change has come over them, and
that, as he was frequently told by them,
they have tried the republican party
long enough and will next November
vote for Cleveland and see if they
won't be benefited by tariff reform.
He SAYS the Dutch among the people
referred to arc great admirers Of Mr..
Cleveland.
Mr.. Mayors, who has been removed
from the postoifice at Stevens City,
Frederick county, Virginia, and whose
place has been given to Mr.. Grove, at
tributes his misfortune to Gen. Malone,
who, it is said, by reason of his control
of the republican party of his State, is
recovering some at least of the influence
he formerly held with the federal adj
ministration.
Mr.. James Lewis, son of ex-senator
Lewis, of Virginia, says that in his, the
Valley section of his State, the demo-
cratic members of the farmers alliance
will vote for Cleveland next Novem-
Der, and will have nothing to do with
Weaver.
Mr.. Swain, editor of North Carolina
democratic newspaper, is among the
visitors here to-day. He says the third
party is on the wane in his State, and
that as the democrats there have de-
termined to make thorough canvass,
not only of every district but of every
county, he thinks there is little if any
real danger of the loss of the State. His
congressional district, he says, though
largely republican, would go demo-
cratic this time if it were not that both
the democrats and the third party will
have candidate, and that consequent
ly the republican nominee will be
elected.
A private letter received here from
Gettysburg says that last week, while
an excavation was being made near that
place, the bones of seventeen Confed-
crate soldiers were uncovered, and that
Judging from the buttons on the rags
found on them they were those of North
Carolina soldiers, and that as Pendar's
division was ON that part of the field,
they probably belonged to that division.
, The bones are in good state Of preser-
walton aud can be taken away if sent
for.
An old and experienced e1-Virginia
editor here to-day, who reads the news
papers of his State, the first he says,
being the GAZETTE, thinks that The third
, party there has less strength now than
it had month ago, and will have less a
month hence than it has now, and that
; the State will give lis usual democratic
majority at the coming election. He
adds, however, that it is we'll for
the democrats that Mr.. Harri-
, son, and not Mr.. Blaine, is
the republican Presidential candidate,
: as otherwise the State would certainly
be lost. He says Harrison is the only
man Cleveland can beat, and Colonel
Ingersoll spoke the truth when he said
each of the PARTIES now would like to
defeat its own candidate if it could do
so without electing that of the other.
Among the visitors here to-day is
Mr.. Brady, U. S. internal revenue col
: lector for the Petersburg district of his
State. 1t is rumored here That in con-
sequence of 1Ir. Brady's opposition to
General Malone, who is the acknowl-
edged head of the Virginia republicans,
he is looked upon by the managers OF
the republican party, and consequently
by the administration, as q hindrance
rather than help, and that though he
took prominent Harrison part in the
Minneapolis convention, the republicans
in his State would be more united and
therefore more effective without, than
with him in office, in view Of the large
number of federal employees in his dis
trict, who, with General Mahone's ia
nous methods" could be made to add
great strength to the republican force
in that State.
