republicans. The only change in Vir-
ginia was as follows: Flat Ridge, Gray
son county, Hiram NJ. Jenkins appoint
ed postmaster, vice Eliza Perkins, re-
signed.
Representative Meredith and a dele
CATION of Alexandrians, among whom
were Colonel L. l.. Smith and Messrs.
Bendheim, Marbury, Barley and Carlin,
called at the Postoffice Departmental this
morning to urge Mr.. Bissell to appoint
Mr.. John a. Marshall postmaster at
their city. According to the new rule
in such cases, Mr.. Agnew, the republi.
can incumbent, will not be removed
until four years from the date of his
commission, some time next March,
except on charges.
A Virginian here to-day, who has
lust returned from the Chicago fair ,says
he felt really ashamed of his State
when he called at the Virginia building
there. Two beautiful and accomplish
ell Virginia ladies. Mrs. Caskie Cabell
of Richmond and Mrs. James Leigh of
Norfolk, were invited by the Virginia
commissioners to reside at the building
and preside over the social functions
there. They accepted and have taken
up quarters there, but are so i'll pro-
vided with the requisite necessaries for
such a place that they a hardly en-
terrain their most familiar friends, let
alone distinguished strangers. Recent
ly when some of the latter called,
SO ill-furnished is the house and so
scant the furniture that they had
to be received on one of the porticoes.
Some of the Virginians living in Chi
cago, becoming aware OF the condition
of things referred to, have endeavored
to improve it, but have so far only par
tally succeeded; the rest, he says, should
be done by Virginians who live at
home.
Some surprise is expressed among
Virginians here that Mr.. O,Ferrall
should have made Police Justice Frank
J. East of Norfolk, the manager of his
campaign for the g~ubernatorial nomi-
nation in their State.
Some OF the parties interested in the
Washington and Arlington electric
railroad residing here are dissatisfied
with the recent action of the Virginia
court in appointing a receiver for that
road and will apply to the .. 5. court
for the appointment of another receiver.

A CONDITION CoNFRoNrs THEM.

A CONDITION CoNFRoNTs THEM
The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg appeal says:
"a month ago bets that O'Ferrall
would carry Richmand would have
found few takers, but now the condi-
tons have materially changed. That
Col. Buford will get considerably more
than half of the delegates appears to be
quite certain. The local pride of the
democrats will be worth to him many
votes. Recognizing the fact of Buford's
powerful following, at least two lead
ers in the O'Ferrall organization, men
with State regulations, are very decid-
edlv in favor of not pressing the fight
in Richmond. They argue that nearly
all the Bufordites will be for O'Ferrall
as second choice, and it is better to do
nothing to incur disfavor with them.
In other words, it is their idea that the
O'Ferrall men should work along quiet
ly and by no means try to persuade the
Bufordites that O'Ferrall is better fitted
for the nomination, but always to praise
Buford and say what a splendid Gov
ernor he would make if it were possible
for him to get there"

Eppa Hunton, jr., for the Legislature.
MARKHAM. Va. June 9th.

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
1t is generally understood that a seat
in the next House of Delegates would
be acceptable to the gentleman whose
name stands at the head Of this article.
If political honors should be bestowed
for eminent party service, then does
Eppa Hunton merit any thing within
the gift of his people. From the time
of the Tilden campaign when he made
his maiden political speech at o flag
raising in the town of Warrenton, after
all the powder had been burnt by
such men as Jas. V. Brooke, R. T. Scott
and Murray Forbes until now, he has
always been found at the post of duty.
Through sunshine and through storm,
when victory has perched upon our
banner, or when it Las trailed in the
dust of defeat, he has never faltered.
He possesses talent of no mean order,
has intelligence sufficient to grasp any
question and the ability to present his
views to his fellow men. His name is a.
sufficient guarantee of his integrity.
He would reflect honor upon his oun
tv and State in any deliberative body.
nominate him for q seat in the next
Legislature.

AS INVESTIGATION proceeds, the mag
nitude of frauds perpetrated in, by and
through the Pension Office, becomes
daily more apparent, and, from present
indications, it would not be surprising
lift be disclosed that one-half the pen
sioas that are drawn from the Treas
ury have been fraudulently obtained or
unlawfully granted. So numerous are
the frauds that in the district of New
Mexico alone, where some 800 pension
ers reside, it has been found necessary
to dispatch an examining board to AL
buquerque, n. NJ, with instructions TO
investigate every pension case, and to-
morrow Drs. J. D. Morgan, W. K.
Frisbee and N. P. Trist, medical eX-
aminers, and Messrs. IT. Maneir, Z,
e. Holford, j. D. Laf1erty, H.. l.. Fitz-
hugh and Eustice c. DePutron, special
examiners, will leave for that city, un-
der instructions from Secretary Smith,
to ferret out the frauds, by the side Of

canoe: and it must be remembered the
pension investigation is yet in its incip'

Mr.. Harrison EXTENDED" the civil SER

no intimation that Mr.. Cleveland will
do any thing by which the republicans,

and they were thrown into the water. Brave
efforts were made to rescue them, one man
jumping from the bridge and another ap-
preaching the unfortunates in a boat. The
latter reached them, but in endeavoring TO
save themselves they capsized the boat and
threw the rescuar into the river. Int of the
men succeeded in reaching the girl and hold
ing her head above water for q time, but was
finally compelled to release his hold, and both
the young people sank to the bottom. Their

who may attempt to assassinate the
Car or members of his family, says
that Mr.. KEENAN,, an American writer,

Justice is administered in Russia than

much about Russia as Mrs. Harriet

about the South before the war; and
no more, as is attested by Rev. DR.. Tai

turing in this country on the imaginary
barbarities of the government of a ma

THE sILvERIrEs say the fall in the
price of silver is the result of a conspir-
acy of the ''gold bugs" and that they
will resist it and fight for silver dollars
till the last armed foe expires. The
silverites are puissant, to be sure, but
as Great Britain, Germany, the Latin
Union, Austria and India, and a ma
iority of the people of their W coun-
try have declared against them, and as
a silver dollar is now worth only half a
dollar il any of the silver markets of
the world, the fight its friends propose
to make for it may be heroic, but will
certainly not be war.

o'DoNNELL's TRIAL.
Some of the Pinkerton Witnesses Get
Ratified.

some Oh the 1,lHkcftOn w lUucSS6S OCt
Ratified.
PITTsBURG, Feb. 15.-The throng that
filed the criminal court when the trial
of Hugh O'Donnell was resumed was
limited only by the capacity of the
spacious chamber. Captain Cooper, the
commander of the New York delegation
of Pinkertons, resumed his testimony,
but it did not differ from that the wit
ness gave at the trial of Jack Clifford.
He saw O'Donnel1 on the shore when
the barges first landed, and again at the
time of the surrender.
James Malay, Pinkerton, testified to
seeing O'Donnell on the shore when the
barges landed. O'Donnell cried out:
The first one of you that comes ashore
will be killed Saw him again
at s o'clock. A man was
standing on the bank with a revolt
yer in his hand. O'Donnen ordered him
away and placed a man there who had a
shot gun"
In the cross examination witness said
he had not heard O'Donnell give any
orders, but had seen him shifting the
men around. Witness was standing on
the bow of the barges when he saw all
this. Witness said he chad seen the
bullets" as they were fred from the
shore strike the barges. Witness became
very angry at counsel for defense, who
succeeded in getting him very badly
tangled in his statements.
Colonel Joseph s. Grey, the sherifss
deputy, said he gave the captains of the
Pinkertons orders not to fire until they
had been fired upon.
