Mr. Rixey, the mocratic candidate
for Congress in u. 3.n Virginia district,
left here to-day ior King George and
Stafford counties u that district, which
he will thoroughly canvass. He says
all the other counties in the district are
we'll organized, and that the two re-
ferred to will be by the time he leaves
them. He speaks very confidently Of
his election, and says he is obliged TO
Secretary Morton for helping him. as
though there never were many gold
boilers in his district, Dir. Morton e
recent unprovoked attack upon the e1-
Confederates will induce most Of them
10 come back to their old fold.
II il reported here by New York re-
publicang that $50, 900 has already been
sent by Dir. Hanna TO Virginia, divided
IN TWO equal parts between the State
com mitteea Of the republicans and the
gold boilers, and that $50, 900 more will
be sent to the STATE before the day Of
election. Mr.. Hanna thinks that $50 !,
900 will exert no title power in Eir,
sinia, whose people, be has been in
formed, will do any thing for money.

transparent sale Of themselves, the
Virginia democrats will make it their
business to reregent his implied impu-
tation upon the character of the men
who ever since the war have voted the
democratic ticket in what's left of the

that some Of the registration officers Of
their State cannot be relied upon, and
that unless the democrats keep watch
upon them anti.Bryan voters will be
registered up to the very morning Of
election day, and that by means there
of, thousands Of men who have no legal
right to vote in Virginia will cast Nc
Klnley ballots there that day. Nobody
here supposes the Palmer decoy ticket
will receive any support there.
Senator German was at democratic
headquarters again to-day. To his
friends and in private conversation he
expresses the opinion that the demo-
Gratis of his State who left their
party two years ago are tired of
the republicans to whom they
gave CONTROL Of both their State
and of Baltimore, and that most
of them will be found voting the
democratic ticket next month. While
