Do.—It is stated upon what 1s said to be high republican au- thority that Senator-elect Mahone will this weak publish a document setting forth.explicitly the principles, objects, and aims of the Virgiola re- adjusters; that he will show that his party and its policy are committed to the honest pay- ment of the state debt; that the readjusters are In fact the debt-payers while the fungers are the repudiationists. This publication, accord- ing to report, is intended to pave the way to a union of the readjusters and republicans of Virginia into one party, sup.orting the nztional administration; that Gen. Mahone’s statement is already prepared, and ft {s so clear and convincing as to the honest policy and pur- poses of the readjusters, that Gen. Gartield, to Whom it has been shown, approved it and the proposed coalition. It is anticipated that this coalition in Virginla, which, report says, has been indorsed by the republican leaders, will form a party strong enough to control that state and wiil open the way to the reorganiza- Uon of the republican party throughout the south. It is qo out, too, that this new or- ganization in Virgina will become a part of the Stalwart republican party. PERSONAL.—Associate Justice Woods, of the U. S.

Gen, Sheridan, Chicag I have just received the following dispatch from Major Iiges, at Camp Poplar river, under date of 2a in! ‘After my talk with hostiles one 31st December, which had led me to believe them to be sincere, they, tarough Chief ‘The Crow,” sent me yesterday a very impertinent message that they would not move, and would fight me. I moved against them to-day, and surrounded their camp, shelled them and com- pelled them to surrender; Killed one and wounded two, and lost no soldiers. I have now at agency about 300 hostiles and about 390 horses and 40 guns. ‘They threatened fight, but showed uone, but deserted their villages. | burned up about sixty of their lodges, whtch will burt them badly. Will start at dayllgit after the hostiles, who have gone to Yankto- nals camp, about twelve miles distant. The Yaunktonais by six of their principal men as- sisted me to-day, and were a great help to mo, and I will give them some of the ponies. I have “Gali” as a prisoner, and will have “The Crow” to-morrow. ‘These people are in great, distres for want of food and covering, and I will do what I can for them.

What the Apportionment Bill Wi Do. ‘The apportionment bill, soon to be reported to Congress, will recommend an increase of the membership of the House to 300, as that num- ber can be more equally apportioned than the present number. Deducting the population of the territories and of the District of Columbia from the aggregate of the entire country as shown by the census returns the population of the states foots up 49,500,000. This would with 300 members of the House give one representa- Uve to every 165,000 of inhabitants, and under that plan the apportionment’ of _repre- sentation would be as follows to the states: Alabama, 8; Arkansas, 5; Call- fornia, 5; Colorado, 1; Connecticut, 4; Delaware, 1; Florida, 2; Georgia, 9; lilinois, 19; Indiana, 12; Iowa, 9; Kansas, 5; Kentucky 10: Louisiana, 6; Maine, 4; Maryland, setts, 11; Michigan, "10; Minnesota, 5; Mississip |, 7; Missourl, 13; Nebraska, 3: lampsbire, 2: New Jerse} BS a, 8; Obto, 19; Oregon, 1; Peni vania, 26; Rhode island, 2; South’ Carolina, 6; Tennessee, 9; Texas, 10; Vermont, 2; Virginia, 9; West Virginia, 4; Wisconsin, 8. This makes a total of just 300 members. Under thts appor- Uonment Indiana, Maine, New Hampshire,Oato. Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Vermont would each lose one member and New York would lose 2, as compared with their present representa- tion. ‘This would be an aggregate loss of nine, which would go to the states that have tn- creased most 1h population, together with the seven additional members, making sixteen, which would be divided as follows: Arkansas, California, Michigan, Mississippi, South Caro- lina and West Virginia wiileaca galn one mem ber; Kansas, Minn: Nebraska will each gain two, and Texas will gain four, making thesixteen. This {3 as near the provable pew apportionment us figures can reaco In advance. SOCIETY NOTES, Yesterday was a delightful day for visiting ‘This 1s by no means intended for sarcasm, but 1s literally true; for cheerful parlors and cordla! hostesses appeared to greater advantage br con trast with the incl2ment weather, aud as no one made many calls there was plenty of ume to chat with the ladies recetving, wno on bright days when there 1s a constant succession of visitors have opportunity to speak only a few Words to each one. Most of the ladies who usually recelve on Tuesdays had many calls. Among those recelving were Gen. Sherman’s faintly, Mrs. Clatiin, who was assisted by several young ladies, Mrs. Helster Clymer, Mrs. and Miss Starin, Miss McLean of Iowa circle, Mrs. Yuag Wing and Mme. Asta Buruaga and her daugh- ter. Most of the ladies whose husbands are Representatives in Congress receive on Tuesdays except those who live at the Riggs House, who are at home on Mondays Senator Williams and his wife and herdaugh- ter, Miss Hamilton, who spent last winter at the Riggs House, arrived at that hotel last crenine. eS ete enetied by Miss juchanan, daughter of Andrew Buchanan, of Louisville. Mrs. Hone, who as Miss Cadwalader, presided for her brother while he was Assistant Secre- lary of State, met with a serious loss recently in New York. A man entered the chamber in which sre and her husband were sleeping, and, before she could thoroughly rouse Mr. Hone, or call ald, succeeded in robbing her bureau of numerous valuable jewels, many of which were 'presents when she was married in Sep- Taber. The party given at Judge Swayne’s residence last evening was a quite small one and in- formal. Very few, save young people, were invited. The young ladies whose fathers are Justices of the Supreme Court attended, and some others. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. Galt gave a large danc- ing party to thelr children jast nighv in their msgnificent new restdence, 1328 Connecticut avenue, A large number of Washington fami- les were represented in the assemblage of young people that filled the spacious parlors, and thelr good looks and bright appearance spoke well for the rising generation of the city. uring the evening several figures of the ger- man were danced. The supper was declared ‘just splendid” by all present. Mr. and Mrs. Galt exerted themselves most successfully for the entertainment of their guests, as did their son ao and the Misses Galt. Mr. Galt, who 1s well known asa citizen of great enterprise and public spirit, has not only one of the finest. lences in the city, but one of the pleasantest homes. Governor-elect Porter's marriage to Miss lace this afternoon at the resl- Stone takes dence of Mr. W. S. Gurnee, uncle of the bride, No, 626 5th avenue, New York. On account o! a recent death in the Gurnee family the wedding will be conducted as privately and quietly as Possible. There will be no bridesmaides or groomsmen. The ceremony will be witnessed only by a few personal friends and relatives of the bride and bridegroom. ~ The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. Quinton Corwine were infully shocked to-day by the news of Mrs. Corwine’s sudden death, which occurred at a late hour last night.
