to elect the republican congressiona!
Candidates in Virginia. MIR. Brady says
he is on the same terms with General
Mahone that he has been for the past
fo1r or FIVE years. Mr.. Brady also says
that from what he hears, the republi-
cans stand good chance of electing
several congressman in Virginia next
month. and that unless their candidates
in some of the districts are elected, IT
will be due to gross frauds.
The city to-day is full of race horse
D ,ople from all sections Of the country,
but mostly from the North, all bound
to the Alexandria race track. Train
after train in rapid succession left the
9Th street depot, all crowded to their
utmost capacity. The club opened its
new track-St. Asaph's-under most
favorable auspices. The weather was
everything that could be wished, the
track in good order aud the crowd
large. About 800 horses are nov quar-
tered in the 81. Asaph's stables,
including the Belmont cracks, and
such we'll known stables as

ciated as judges at the meet and jim
my" Ro We acted as starter. Fred Taral,
Snapper" Garrison, Simms, Griffin,
and A1idgley were among the well
known Jockeys who had mounts.
The Postmaster General has return
cd, but nothing yet has been done in
the matter Of changing the name of the
postoflice at the site Of the old Apo
mattox Court House, and nothing will
DO done for at least week, as Assistant
Postmaster General Maxwell is going
,w4y and will be gone for that length
Of tine, and nothing will be done in the
,a'c until he shall return.
Among the visitors here to-day is
Mr.. Walker, the republican candidate
for Congress in the Winchester, Va,
district. He says if he does not beat
his democratic contestant, Mr.. Turner,
he will give him close race. He says
he will certainly carry Shenandoah,
Rockingham, Madison and Page coun-
ties, and will divide Albemarle county.
But republicans from that district, not
80 interested, say Mr.. Walker has nc
conceivable chance of election.
Capt. Rush Wallace of the navy was
examined to-day for promotion to the
grade of commodore, to fill the vacancy
With will result from the retirement
Of Rear Admiral Gherardi.
A Cleveland democrat from New
York, here to-day, says he nor any body
else can possibly tell how that State is
going next month, as there are so many
different clashing interests involved.
Though on familiar terms with the
President. he doesn't know whether
Mr. Cleveland will support the State
ticket or not. He says the Cleveland
men of New York have not forgotten the
fact that Hill prevented the confirma'
ton of many democratic postmasters in
their State, and that some things are
too hard to swallow.
A democrat from Stafford county
Va, here to-day, says Messrs. Meredith
Little and Mason spoke at StafordCourt
House yesterday, and after they finish
ed, Mr.. Lowery, republican, spoke
for Mr.. McCaull. He says he thinks
Ste ford will go republican next month
and that there is no reason why it
shouldn't, as it is republican county,
and has only been carried by popular
local democratic candidates and the
expenditure OF money. He says King
George county is close.
Mr. Hudson, well-informed demo
crat of Halifax county, in the 9th Vir-
GINA district, largely engaged in the
manufacture of tobacco at South Bos
ton, in that county, who is here to-day,
says he believes Rucker, the populist
candidate, will carry that county, and
that Hoge will not get the full republi-
can, nor Otey the full democratic vote
there.
Senator Butler of South Carolina,
who is now here, says his State is now
in the condition Virginia was during
the Malone regime, only more so, as
Malone is better man than Tillman.
A gentleman from Southwest Vir-
ginia, here to-day, says the salt works
there, capitalized at one million dollars,
that only paid four per cent. when
making salt, now that they have been
turned into soda ash works, are paying
from twelve to fifteen per cent.
Mgr. Sharetti, auditor of the apostolic le-
ltior, was seen to-day in regard to the state
ment that Archbishop Satolli was to be made
Cardinal and lcgate a latere. He said he had
neither been informed from Rome nor by
Mgr Satolli as to the matter, consequently
knew nothing about it. He refused to ex-
press an opinion as to whether the article was
accurate but it is believed here that the facts
ara as stated in the New York Dispatch. At
the Catholic University no information on
the subject has boon received.
