THE G.. A. R. has threatened the
President with personal outrage in
St. Louis; its commander-in-chief has
expressed the hope that his heart, brain
aud hand might be paralyzed, and last
Wednesday, one of its posts at Pitts
burg tore down and trampled upon his
portrait. And yet, by his order, a
large number of the places in all the
departments at Washington are set
apart for members of the organization
referred to, and SO well-known has this
fact become that for such places there
now are no other applicants.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence Of the Aiexsndris Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA, 1884.

w ASdlN6lON, CCPo' AAi $780,
Gen. Walthall, of Mississippi, who
resigned his seat in the US. Senate
before the expiration of mis- first term,
after his election to second one, has
decided to at least begin the latter.
Congressman Marshall, of Virginia,
is here to day. He says there are SO
few populists in his, the 9th district,
that they have no congressional candi-
date there, and that Judge Morrison,
the democratic nominee, will be elected.
Rev. DR.. Hoge left here yesterday for
Richmond, and Bishop White, this
morning, for the same city.
The President to-day commissioned
Richard w. Meade, as Rear Admiral in
ia the Navy, Robert L. Pythian as
Commodore in the Navy and James d.
Adams, as Lieutenant-C Commander In
the Navy. =,
Race l,eople here say there will be
FIVE hundred horses at the Alexandria
race track next month, among them
some of the most famous racers In the
country.
Among the callers at democratic head
quarters here to-day were congress
man Meredith, of the Alexandria dis
trict. and e4-State Senator Moore, from
Fairfax county. Mr.. Meredith has SO far
spoken at Louisa G. II. and at Water
| fall, in his own county, Prince William.
He will speak at Culpeper next Mon
day, and at Orange on Monday week.
He saws before he went to Louisa he
heard there was great detection IN that
county, but found none when he reach
ed there, but did find that the populists
there would vote for the republican
candidate if they had none of their
own. He now, be says, hears there Is
detection in Alexandria, but believes
the report has no better foundation
than that from Louisa. MIR. Moore
saws he hears of no detection in Fairfax
county, that there are no populists
there to speak of, and that if the proper
means be taken to get out the demo-
cratic vote, the county will give its
usual democratic majority next No
yember. The loss in the democratic
vote in Maine at the last election, as
tsbulated at headquarters, amounts to
no less than thirty thousand. Virginia
could hardly stand such loss ard re
tain a solid democratic Congressional
delegation.
The contractors for removing the
garbage from this city say they hope
to be able in two or three months &c
have an establishment by which the
garbage can be converted into fertil,
izsr without becoming nuisance, and
that in the meantime they will have tc
send it down the river in scows, and
trust to luck to escape bombardmeDt
from Alexandria.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
Mr. DENLY will continue for some time
vet to represent the United States as
Z. S. Minister to China, and that MIR
Whitehouse will not re-enter the dipio
matte service of this administration, as
although his record is an excellent one
he has had sufficiency of diplomatic
career. Last winter he married very
wealthy Boston lady.

Senator sherman interviewed.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 14.-In the course OF
an interview with reporter last even
ing. Senator John Sherman said: ut IS
too early yet to say just what the
general effect of the new tariff is to be,
but presume the country will ulti-
mately adjust itself to the new indus
trial condition with more or less fric-
tion." The Senator expressed great
confidence in the republicans securing
the majority of the next Congress and
said he had seen very little indication
of great strength for the populists.

THE committee on resolutions of the
G. A. R, at yesterdays session of that
body, tabled the following resolution !:
"That all mob violence, from what
ever cause, must be vigorously
suppressed by all the powers of the
States. and that those guilty of overt
acts, intimidation. or threats must be
severely punished" This evidently
shows that the G. A. R. is by no means
as keen set upon the preservation OF
law aud the observance of order as it
might be.

Breckinridge Attacks owens.


LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 1.-The
people of the Blue Grass were astonish
ed this morning when they read the
interview with Col. Breckenridge given
out last night. He says that W. G..
Owens, his strongest opponent, has
been professional gambler for years,
and that he won money from young
Kentuckians, while they were drunk.
He further says that Mr.. Owens was
elected from Louisville hotel because
he tried to register there with young
woman as man and wife. Col. Brock
iaridge reproduces the account of this
affair from the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal of November II, 1892. he also
produces an affidavit from several
witnesses who witnessed the election of
Owens and the young woman from the
hotel. The friends of Hon. W. c.
Owens here are denouncing Breckin=
ridges efforts to shadow the name of
their candidate with dishonor at this
late date. After being advised by bis
friends here that Col. Rreckinridge had
given out to the press an interview
in which he was charged with being
elected with a young woman from a
Louisville hotel, Mr.. Owens telephon-
ed this morning prorouucing the story
absolutely false.
A large number of women met here
this morning at the Opera House and
decided to spend the day tomorrow in
a body praying for the defeat of Brock
