Inc members of the Cabinet, of the
U. S. Supreme Court and of the Dlplo-
matte Corps left here this morning in
three separate trains, each magnificent
IL furnished and sumptuously provided
with every conceivable luxury for
Chicago, to attend the dedicatory cere-
monies of the Columbian celebration.

bring his case before the grand jury,
but will have him tried by New York
magistrate rs soon as Col. Shepard, the
Counts hacker, shall return from the

ncr, the only one here, was suspended
to-day across Pennsylvania avenue from
the house of Perry Carson, the negro
republican leader of this city.
A Virginia republican here to-day, in
talking about the demoralized condi-
ton of his party in his State, laid the
blame of it on General Malone, and
said it served the party right for tax
ing as its leader man rejected by the
democrats. He also said he couldn't
understand why the reputable republic
cans of his State should submit to the
Generals management any longer, es-
pecially as he had seen the Generals
affidavit in the court house here, FLED
in u suit against him, in which he
swears that ''tor the past eight years CT
more the city Of Washington, ID. c., has
been my business residence.

Intelligence from Virginia here to-
day is to the effect that Gillian in the
1 II and Franklin in the 10th districts
of that State, will, like Bowdcn i'll the I'd,
withdraw from their congressional cam
paigns. At Gen. Mahone's instance the
national republican committee would
rive them no money, and rs republi-
can campaign in the South without
money from the North is even less ma
teral than third partyism in the Sth
district of Virginia, there was nothing
else for them TO do.

ing his State pretty thoroughly for Mr..
Cleveland, was here yesterday. He
told n friend that Cleveland's majority
in Virginia would be from twenty to
forty thousand.
