ON HIS WAY TO CUBA.

General Fitzhugh Lee, accompanied
by his son, Fitzhugh Lee, jr., and Thos.
A. Jones, of Lexington, arrived at
Tampa, Fla, yesterday evening. The
Confederate veterans, few G. A. r.
men and number of prominent citi.
zens met the party at the depot and es-
corted them to the residence of Rev. w.
w. Denart, where dinner was served.
After two hours the party left for Cuba,
and were borne away in the echoes of a
lusty Confederate shout. General Lee
stated that his family would follow him
in the fall. He has no apprehension
about yellow fever. He says he dislikes
the thought of so much Importance be-
ing attached to his Office, and does not
wish to occupy a central figure in the
press reports.
Col. John M. Martin, hearing that
General Lee would pass through Ocala
on his way to Havana yesterday, met
him at the depot. Fully 500 people as
sembled. The band played on the ar.
rival of the train. Col. Martin and
others entered the car and brought
General Lee to the platform, where he
was introduced by Col. Martin. R. A.
Burford extended to Gen. Lee a well
come to Florida soil, to which Gen.
Lee made a happy response. He hoped
the dust of travel would be out of his
eyes by the time he got to Cuba and no
more would be thrown into them. 1t
was q great aud pleasant surprise to
Gen. Lee, and delight to the people
to meet the distinguished soldier and
statesman. After responding Gen. Lee
held regular reception until the train
pulled out.
General Lee left Lynchburg on Sun
day evening for Cuba, accompanied by
Fitzhugh Lee, jr., his private secretary.

The Election in Oregon.

PORTLAND, Oregon, June 2.-Oregon
has gone republican by large plural
ity, as indicated by incomplete returns
up to midnight. One of the peculiar
features is the remarkably small demo
cratic vote, most of it having gone for
the populist nominees. The democrats
have apparently voted strongly for free
silver with view of securing such ad-
vocates in Congress. Returns are so
meagre that it is impossible yet to tell
how Senator Mitchell stands for re-
election.

To THE qualification of almost every
body who takes the slightest interest in
the affairs of the country, Congress will
soon adjonrn, and relieve the people OF
the dangers to which its sessions always
subject them. The President tried to
involve the country in war with
Great Britain-in which effort he
was assisted by Congress to the
full extent of its power-though
he now regrets that he did so. Congress
has since then done all it could to foment
wars with France, Turkey and Spain;
all with no reason, except the desire to
court the favor of the jingoes, and now
that jingoism is in allegiance, the most
of its members realize the folly of thei,
action.

lutely disinterested, and that no pay
or prize money had the least attraction
for them, and that they offered their
services to their country just for love"
In view of the hundreds of millions OF
dollars that were paid for substitutes
and as bounty, not only to natives, but
to men from all the other countries OF
the world, for services in the Union
army, the patent error of the Profess
sor's latter statement tends greatly to

THE SELECTION of MIR. Anderson b

THE SELECTION of MIR. Anderson by
the democrats OF Alexandria yesterday
as their candidate for the congressional
nomination in this district was a great
surprise, certainly to many people OF
the city, some of whom, at least, mad
hardly ever heard of him before but
it was only another evidence OF the
prevailing feeling among the majority
OF all classes and parties in this country
in favor of change, not only Of meas
ures, but of men, and of desire for
new leaders in place of the old ones
There must, however, be something
above the ordinary in a stranger, VINO
only a few months ago was unknown
to all except few people in the city,
should in so short a time have i'm
pressed the democrats thereof so favor
ably in his behalf that they have, by a
large majority named him as their can
didate for the congressional nomina-
ton in this district. Alexandria never
has had real bona fde resident as her
representative in Congress, and the dis
trict might go farther and fare worse in
choosing its congressman than it would
do by accepting Alexandria's choice.
