COL. O'FERRALL'S sUO CEssOR.
An Election viii Only Bs Ordered After "A
Vacancy has Occurred.

Governor Mckinney stated yesterday
that he would not issue a writ for an
election Of a member Of Congress from
the Seventh district until vacancy had
been established, and the resignation OF
Col. O'Ferrall, the Democratic guberna-
torial candidate, had taken effect. The
opinion had been expressed. that the
Governor would order an election as
soon as he was notified by Col. OFerrall
that he desired his resignation to take
effect at a certain date, but Governor
Mckinney does not think that this lati-
tude is admissible by law.
The Governor is apparently guided by
the opinion of Attorney-General Scott
which has been forwarded 10 Captain
Micajah Woods at Charlottesville. who
is a candidate for Col. OFerralls seat
in Congress.
The Attorney-General In his opinion has
the following to say:
I'm my opinion a vacancy must exist
before you can issue writ for special
election. That this election may be held
on the 18th OF November proximo. Col.
O'Ferrall's resignation must take effect
at such time as Will allow the sergeants
Of the cities and the sherIffs Of the coun-
ties In the district to give out at least
ten days motive. by posting a copy OF
the writ OF election at each voting place

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. B-No
information concerning the reVoiu-
ton In Brazil has been received at
the State Department since Monday. when
a telegram was received from Minister
THOMPSON. saying that Rio was under
martial law and that all business mad
been suspended. Since then, according to
press dispatches, a serious engagement
has occurred near Rio, in which the in
surgents were repulsed with great loss OF
life, but there has been no Official CON
irmation Of the report
State Department officials do not dis
euise their disappointment at the
ian capital and the opinion s freely ex-
pressed that Geographic communication
has been closed pending the settlement
Of the present troubles
The cruiser Charleston is somewhere In
the vicinity Of Brazil and Navy Depart
ment officers are chagriEed that nothing
has been heard from her
She is on her way TO the Pacific and
was last heard from at Barbados several
weeks ago. She would have 10 touch at
either Rio or Montevideo for coal. II
she stopped at Rio the department would
have been informed unless the use OF
the cable was prevented.
On the theory that she did not stop at
Rio a telegram has been sent to Monte
video for her TO report arrival and await
q ere for further orders. In case she is
intercepted within the next few days she
will be ordered TO proceed TO Rio imme-
diately after coaling for the protection
Of American interests.
