NEWPORT, March 19.-The reported de-
olination of Mr.. II. Hunter TO serve on the
Democratic ticket for Representative is a
surprise TO no few and many are of the
opinion that he has unwise advisors. It
has been generally supposed that Mr..
Hunters name would be used for the
mayoralty next fall, but It can't be posi-
bic that such will be the case when he
now declines the nomination rendered
him. The secretary of the convention,
when seen by your correspondent
last night, said he had had no
official notice of the Intentions of Mr..
Hunter, or of Messrs. Fludder, Grams
ton and Seyer, also reported as declining
to stand. All of these gentlemen, he
said, may have sent notice TO the Secre-
tary OF State, but he could say nothing
definite on the subject.
Historical Society.
The annual meeting OF the Newport
Historical Society was held last evening
and the old board of officers, of which DR..
II. T.. Turner is president, was reelected.

sented to the society medal made by
new process.
The Finals.
The finals in the pool tournament held
at the Business Mems Association Rooms
will be played today between Messrs. T..
A. Edes and w. y. Clarke, Jr., and pro-
mise to be very interesting. Mr..
Clarke Is third class man
and Mr.. Edes has to allow him
II balls. IL was generally supposed al the
start that Mr.. M. j. Lockrow, last years
champion, would again be the victor, but
when he was defeated by Colonel A. p.
Baker, IL was a question who would win.
The general opinion is that Mr.. Clarke
will win on the handicap.

ROTUNDA TO BE REBUILT.-The
great calamity to the University of
Virginia, caused by the recent disas-
trous fire excites the liveliest inter-
est in the welfare Of that great insti-
tuition, not only in Virginia, but
throughout the whole South, and
there is a strong demand for the
prompt restoration of the Rotunda
just a. Jefferson left il. In Rich.
mond the friends of the University
have already subscribed about Sl2,-
900 to this end, and subscriptions will
be taken in all the cities of the old
Commonwealth. 1t is expected that
the Legislature will make liberal
appropriation, but unfortunately the
condition Of the States treasury is
not such rs to justify such an appro-
priation rs the case demands, hence
private aid is being solicited, and
the indications arc that the alumni
will respond nobly to the call made
upon them.

Election Returns.

Elections were held in thirteen
States on Tuesday last. Public in
terest centered chiefly on the result
in New York, Maryland, Ohio and
Kentucky.
The Democratic revolt against
German in Maryland made the re.
suit there very uncertain. The re-
suit shows that German has met his
Waterloo. Lowndes, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor, carried
the State by majority ranging from
5000 to 10000. The Legislature is
also Republican, insuring Republi-
can successor to Senator Gibson.
The result in Kentucky is in doubt.
Both sides claim the Governor. The
Legislature is also in doubt.
In New York the Republicans
carry the State by about 1000 ma
jority. The Legislature is also Re-
publican. Tammany Hall, however,
trium phed in New. York city, elect
ing their municipal. ticket by ,about
10000 majority.
The Republicans swept everything
before them in their. majority
as claimed by them being 100000.
The Legislature is of course Repub-
lican.
New Jersey goes Republican by
about 10000. The result in other
States shows no change from former
proclivities.
