Bro Democratic Troubles in Virginia—The Wise and Hun- weoxal Debgaiion—sction of Dre Electoral College and is Preceden't— Governor Ployd’s Appoiniment toa Seat in Oe Now Catinda Fined Pact, dc., de. ‘The recent difficulties among th: democratic party in ‘Wiis tate, arising, +8 \t is generally supposed, from ihe ation of the Electors’ College im reference to Governor Mhoya, were but the refiex or exposition of feelings aud wentiments jorg ¢xis'ing between two rival {actions in the ‘Wate. 1! \e declaration tn favor { Governor Fioyd was ‘ut the cocasion ‘or the developement on the part of the Banter faction o's ‘eep-rooted, though secret dissatis- ton, engendered by the gr wing popu'arity of Wise, to ‘Me eerious detriment of the present distinguished Sena- ‘ter from ibis Siate. No sooner had Wise been elected to ‘Me pesition which he now occupies, than jealousies Spreng cp; and these bteame till more qmbittered when it was ancertained that he eentempiaicd giving bis support to Buchanen for ‘be Presidency. Im this action the Hanter party @weovered ruin to the prospects of their distinguished Iader, who for years past was an active aspirant for the ‘White House. Regarding Wise’s election as a mere party ‘wiemph, and no} a test of kis personal popularity, they st} trusted to the prestige of the Senator toZcounteract qmy spirit of rivalry that may grow up; and it was only ‘wpom the assembling of the Irgisiature last year that ‘Wey ascertained the true state of the public fecling as tt steed with reference to Bunter and Wise. Now, for the ‘ent time,was the real cheracter and exient of the rivary Pally developed,jand the friends of the former, alive to the @apzere which beset him, took every occasion to diminish ‘Me popularity of Wise. Falling im this, they availed ‘hewse!ves of a circumstance that occurred in Peonsy) - vais, to wit, the reecue of # fugitive slave froma Vir- @taian, named Parsons, who went ‘nto that State in bis Warsuit, to set both Siates s{ loggerheads, aud thereby @strange from Buchanan the voice and ivilvence of Vir gia. NM may probably be in your recollection that a WAR was intreduced into the Logislature to indemnity Fwrrons’ suretics in the sum cf $3,000, the amount of his veregnizance, which, under the bill, was to be fortertet by hic dofanlt.

Burravo, Jan. @, 1887, Between Mrs. MacMahon and the thesire and the ‘Bana there is quite a pretty row im this city justat pre- sent. Perbapea litle rev.ew of the cage will not be out Of order a! this junctare. Severa) weeks since, a lady from New York, Mre. Mac- Mahon, played an engagement of five nights at Mr. Carr's theatre—it being her first appearance ou any stage. The newspapers here, except the Courier, assailed her personally end profeestonally, and her engagement, im a pecuniary pcint of view, was a failure. That there most Eave been some reagon for the assault by the press is evident from the fact that nothing like critictem ts even knows here. The papers puff the theatre some times, and that is ali they oan do, unless they have a reason for blackguerding some woman. Ae a sample of their acumen, I may state the fact that Mre. MacMahon had been promiged a good actor to support her in the part of Romeo, when » young man, who did not know even the words, was put into it In the last scene be Dad no dagger, and by hie carelessness came very near spoiling the entire performance, and yet tBe papere said the Romeo was good. The fact is he wan guilty of the highest professiona! misdemeanor, in going on the etage without knowing the words of a Shaksperean part. ‘The reason assigned for the hostility of the preee is, thal Mr. MacMabox declined to give the editors $100 each, as he was advised to do by the landlord of the hote) and the manager ofthe theatre. The proof ef this is in the statements of Mr. and Mrs. MacMahon, made bere pod. licly and not contradicted. On the last night of ber engagement, Mrs. MacMahon was called before the curtain and addressed the audience a8 follows:— Lipims anp Captinnes—! thenk you for your sitend- arce this evening, ad ! also take occasion to thank thore ed me with their sppearunce on the fi favor evenings Perhaps yeu may think me bold bat, in _agitce to myself, ! feel bound to say on this prescnt occasion, but I will here quote the sentence ot Mertana, in the play of ‘‘The Wife,”’ when she ie false ly accused before her hueband, ‘‘The beart of inno cence i¢ bod,’’ bence, ladies and gentieme! bold at the present time. 1 came a perfect stran- ger amopg you, knowmg no one ‘mp thie he vo tbe mt yf this establizoment, consequenily d DO troops to Gt] the vacancies im this thea- tse during my ehort I bavo been most ferociously abused by the press .
