FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the AIexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.

among Tue caOo1 appointments W
West Point to-day was that of A. f.
Morrissitt of Manchester, Virginia.
General Malone has returned to this
city from Petersburg, which is not an
agreeable place of residence to nun
now, and lie occupying his old quarters
at Chamberlin's, where he meets con-
genial society. He says the majority
of the people of Virginia are IN iaSo ese OF
fair elections. Democrats !eoM suaV
State here now say that 10 this Inc
General speaks the truth, but that the
majority he refers to are not in favor OF
his sort of fair elections.
Colonel Thomas Smith, Chief Justice
of the q. s. court for New Mexico,
passed through here to day on his way
back to that Territory from his old
home, Warrenton, where he was called
by the illness of his sister, now consid-
erably improved. The Judge says the
people of Fauquisr county don't seem
to be much interested in their local
election to be held in November, though
he thinks the democratic nominees will
be elected with their usual majorities.
He says that from all he heard while in
Virginia he is glad to believe that Sen
ator Daniel will be reelected, as he
ought to be and no matter what his
opinions may be, on the currency ques-
ton. He has little hope that New
Mexico will be admitted as State into
the Union by republican Congress
under O democratic national admins
tration.
J. NJ. Langston, the negro ex-Con-
gresham from Virgins, who is urging
the appeal of Waller, the negro ex-
consul now in g French prison, convict.
ed of being spy, says he is convinced
that this administration will interfere
In his clients behalf, though it will
wait reasonable time for the French
government to furnish an official copy
of the proceedings of his trial. He
says he, Langston, is republican, but
he must say that he admires the manly
course this administration has pursued
in this case.
Senator Carlisle denies the report
that Mr.. Whitney has notified the ad-
ministration that if its opposition to
the election of the democratic ticket in
Kentucky shall succeed in the defeat
of that ticket, 1t will make little differ
ence who the next democratic Presi.
Dental nominee may be, and says that
though he, Carlisle, will not take part
in the Kentucky campaign, he hopes
and believes the democratic ticket will
be elected. But, Notwithstanding what
the Secretary says, other prominent
democrats assert that the report IS sub
stsntially true, and besides, that the
defeat of the democrats in Kentucky
would be more agreeable to the Presi-
dent than their success, and that il
owing to that influence, that State and
Maryland be removed from the demo
cratic column in November, the proph.
esy that Mr.. Cleveland would break
up the democratic party would be full
filed, and the hope of the election of q
democratic President next year be
clean gone.
Frank M. McVaugb, a sub-contractor
on the new addition of the Government
Printing Office, was arrested last night
on warrant charging him with max
ing his employees work more than
eight hours per day, which is in viola
ton of statute requiring eight hours
day for work on all government
buildings. The employees OF McYaugh
complained to the Federation of Labor
of this city who investigated the matter
and caused McVaugh's arrest. Last
night he gave bond for $3.50 for his ap-
pearance in court to day. When the
case was called this morning McVaugh's
counsel stated that the presence of his
client was necessary at the Govern
ment Printing Office as the work of I'M
dermining was in progress and
the building was now in about
the same condition as that of
the old Ford,s Theatre building
and there was danger to the EMPLOYEES
if the work was not properly looked
after. Upon this representation the
case was continued for one week and
the bond of McVaugh was increased to
$1,000.
