Jacob Els, Fifth Auditor: of the ‘Treasury, spent two or three. days:Jn. Richmond inst week, In-conversation with a correspondent of Time Tupenr to-day jhe said: that aol- though his. opportunitfes for studyIng the political situation wore not great, yet he saw enough te convince him that the strength of the Readjusters was being underestimated. In fact, Mr. Els thinks it-more than possible that the Funders will Sau themselves out- voted if they stick to. thelr present program, As to 4 compromise, ‘that! seems impossible, and the Funders are niuecli more likely to sur render. everything and join with the Read- justers upon the National :ticket than are the | latter to abandon their,pdsltion, Tho most convincing proof of thisistate of affairs which came to Mr, Elo’s notice was the ovi- dence of energy and action manifested on all sides by the adherents 76f ° Gen, Mahone.

ON THE OTHER AND, , the Funders are solemn and deprecatory in thelr discourse, but secjn¢ quite too respeuta- biz to bu enthustustle. One very agreeabiv change in the litten! stinosphere of .Vir- ginin was noted by Mr, Ela ‘as a direct result of the split in the Democyatic ranks, It has had the effect of humanizing the party,/so that Republicans are tredted in the main as preity good fellows, Tho.days of the bull- dozer are, Mr. Ela thinks, at au end in Vir- ginla, and the Republienns are likely to get the benefit of the votes they enst. They will probably divide as do the Democrats on State questions, and yote ata yhit for thelr Pres- idontial Elestoral ticket! +Predictions of the success of any party or’fattion cannot safely be made.
