Colonel Cab. Maddux of Virginia is
here again. He says ex-State Senator
R Walton Moore of Fairfax county will
bs the democratic nominee for Congress
in the Sth district at the next election
and ex. Postmaster Agnew of Alexan-
dria be his republican opponent.
Messrs. McCabe of Leesburg and Glib
son of Culpeper will, he says, be candi-
dates for the democratic nomination,
but will be unsuccessful. He says MIR.
McAdoo. Assistant Secretary OF the
NAVY has been shooting birds with fair
success near Marshall. The Colonel
also says that the racing at jackson
CITY is now conducted on the square
and is proving great success. The
proprietors, he says, being sporting
men, know that any other than square
racing would be losing business, as in
such a case the book makers would be
the first to quit. He also says the talk
of Governor O'Ferrall's interfering
with that racing is nothing but wind,
az the Governor couldn't do so even if
such were his desire.
Secretary Carlisle was again before
the House banking and currenry ccm-
mittee to-day aud explained his tihan-
cial bill. 1t seemed to be acceptable to
most of the committee of both parties,
and, it is reported to-day, will probably
60 through the House. Pending the
arrival of Secretary Carlisle, Mr.. Horace
White, of New York, addressed the
committee.
Among the strangers at the Capitol
to-day was Col. Morton Marye, Audi
tor of the State of Virginia. The Colo
mel saws his State is now in good finan-
cial condition and is likely TO continue
SO, though she may be straitened by an
increase in her expenditures on pension
account, which are growing. He says
her criminal expenses are also large
and are increasing, but that, like the
GAZETTE, he thinks they would be re-
duced to bagatelle if the whippins
post were re-established.
Messrs. Meade Haskins of Richmond
and w. G. Swanson and B. S. Belt Of
Danville are here to-day to attend the
marriage of Congressman Swanson OF
their State, that will take place here to-
night. The Congressman's colleagues
from his own State will make him a
handsome present.
The Turkish legation here received
today full account of the recent al
legged Armenian massacre, by which it
is shown that the Armenians brought
the trouble upon themselves.
Among the attendants at Court here
this morning was the colored ex-Con-
gresham, Langston, from the Peters
burg, Virginia, district. He says Mr.
Thorp, the republican candidate for
Congress in that district, was defeated
because no effort was made to elect
him, and that there is nothing in the
talk about his having been counted
out. He says General Malone has
lost all his influence, and deserved to do
so from the course he has pursued {
Congressman Marshall has not re-
ceived any reply to the telegram he
sent Postmaster General Bissell yester-
day in reference to the appointment OF
o postmaster at Marion, and doesn't
expect one.
