The souvenir coin of the Chicago
Fair is to become current half dollar.
1t was at one time supposed that these
coins would command fancy prices as
souvenirs. This expectation was not
realized. The whole issue authorized
by Congress would have been turned
over to the Worlds Fair managers, but
for their violation of the agreement
which was made condition of the gift
in respect to opening the fair on Sun
DAYS. In consequence of this breach OF
engagement $l,795,9S0 in souvenir
halves remained in the Treasury at the
close of the fair. A demand having re-
Gently sprung up for them at their face
value, Secretary Carlisle to-day issued
an order to the sub-treasuries directing
them to pay out on demand the soul
venir coins at the same ratio as the
legalized half dollar of the United
States, namely, at par with gold.
Mr.. Edgar Allen, prominent Vir-
ginia republican, here to-day, says that
if what he hears be true, the republi-
cans in his State will carry the ID, 4Lh,
5th, 9th, 9th and 10th districts, at next
months election, but that, to be frank,
he doesn't place entire confidence in it.
He says that the national republican,
State, nor any other republican COM
mittee has recognized Southwark
as the regularly nominated repub-
lican Congressional candidate in
the Richmond district, and that
therefore no republican is bound
to vote for him, Southwark, he
says, is a republican and has right to
run for Congress as any body else
has, but that there is no regular
republican candidate in that district,
and will not be, as, under the Walton
law, it is now too late. He also says
that ifSouthward andGregory, the latter
the populist candidate, both remain in
the field, there will be no doubt of the
election of Mr.. Elicit, the democratic
candidate.
The secrets of the A. P. A. are kept
remarkably we'll, but it is known that
a new lodge of that association was Or
ganized in Georgetown last night, and
that the association in this city already
has no less than seven hundred mem
bers.
No complaint from anybody at APP
pomattox Court House has yet reached
the Postoffice Department against the

At republican headquarters to day it
was stated that all the compaign litera-
ture that was there has been distribu-
ted, aud that there would be 70 more.
II was also said that the chairman of
the republican congressional campaign
committee, Representative Babcock,
would probably speak at the repubii
can rally to be held at Fredericksburg,
Va, on the 18th inst.
Intelligence at democratic headquar.
tiers here to-day is to the following ef-
feet: That all the dfferert democratic
factions in New York will support the
regular democratic congressional candi-
dates. and that the gubernatorial ticket
nominated by the mugwumps and anti
snappers will only receive the support
of such democrats as would have voted
for Mr.. Morton if that ticket had not
been nominated, and that, therefore. lift
shall hurt any body, it will be Mr.. Nor
ton rather than Senator Hill.
An order was issued at the War De-

In reply to letters sent by the Vir-
ginia democratic association of this city
to the democratic candidates for Con-
gress in Virginia, answers have been
received from Messrs. Otey, Tyler,
Meredith and Turner Mr.. Otey says
there is great apathy among the demo-
Gratis in his district but be thinks the
feeling is improving and that his pros
poets are favorable. Mr.. Tyler says
his prospects are bright, but all depends
upon getting out the vote. Mr.. Mere
dith says all / need is that the voters
turn cut on election day. Mr.. Turner
says some democrats are apathetic but
that he thinks they are warming up.
The republicans in his district, he says,
are well organized and evidently have
some money. The general tenor of all
the letters is to the effect that apathy
and lukewarmness are prevalent in
their party in their respective districts,
but that better feeling will prevail by
election day.
