The National Republican Committee What Its Action Indicates. Special to New York Herald. Washington, December 17. The la bors and conclusions of the National Republican Committee, which has been in session here to-day, have, in the opin ion of the closest and most competent observers, no bearing upon the fortunes of any,candidate. The selection of Chi cago for the meeting of the convention is believed to please the Blaine and Grant men more than the Sherman men. The election of Senator Don Cameron as chairman is said in some quarters to have been accomplished by the influence of the Sherman men, but the better opinion is that he was chosen because he is a skilful and bold politi cal manager and a man of wealth, and because it will increase the zeal of the Pennsylvania Republicans. The only notable fact which appeared in the committee is that the Western men are, almost without exception, opposed to the Grant movement, so called. A f ar Western member of the committee said this evening that he was surprised to find in his journey through the North western States toward Washington that the Grant cry was empty, and hollow. "TheNorthwest," he said, "is for Blaine. The people I talked with and travelled with told me that in their judgment it was not wise nor necessary to re-nominate Gen. Grant; that the party has other men perfectly capable of filling the presidential chair, and that the pro position to nominate Gen. Grant for a third term, even if he wanted it, which was not at all 'certain, was imprudent, contrary to the wholesome political traditions of the country and the exam ples of our great men and without jus tification. They had united in giving him a friendly and enthusiastic recep tion on his return home, but that did not mean that he ought to have a third term nomination." The Situation in Virginia Specula tions on Mahone'g Election. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Dec. 17. The political situation in Virginia continues to claim much attention here. Speculation is rife as to the purposes of the victors, the culmination of whose success has been reached in the election of General Mahone to the United States Senate. The question of greatest interest now is as to the future status of the Senator-elect and his followers. Fears are expressed that Mahone will republican ize Virginia and give the State to the Republican candidate for President next year if he can. While his fight just at this time appears most bitter and irreconcilable, there is much senti ment among Virginians here in favor of a restoration of the party unity, which, they say, should never have been disturbed by the question of the public debt In some of its aspects the struggle in Virginia appears to have been largely personal, and will undoubtedly affect the political fortunes of many promi nent public men. Representative Goode, of the Norfo'k district, appears to have especially incurred the resent ment of tbe friends of Mahone. It is tolerably certain that there will be a considerable political upheaval in Vir- finia next year in the matter of office olding, though there is hardly a rea sonable doubt that the two wings of the Democratic party will unite in support of the presidential nominee of the party. ' . . A Railroad President Hitting: Rack. Savannah, Ga, Dec. 18. At the stockholders' meeting: to-day President Waddy, of the Georgia Central Railroad, announced that the policy of the com pany had been to leave undisturbed es tablished centres of trade, but the am ple facilities it possessed would be em ployed to circumvent the hostile legis lation which had been foreshadowed in the interests of other lines, detrimental to the Georgia Central Railroad and the city of Savannah ; that the compa ny were prepared to accord every privi lege desired by the Northwest in the transportation of freights, and he could not divine the motive of those who, rumor had it, were striving to open up new lines which would injuriously af fect Savannah and the Central Georgia Railroad when there was no necessity for it. The company, however, were determined to use all their advantages to protect tlieir interests. ; ' . r- ' A iftnstaat Soiree or Woader.

SfadelSCampton, who has just come from South Carolina, brings encourag ing reports with him. The conflict be tween bourbonism and liberalism in that State still goes on, but the victory has thuf far always rested with the party of progress, and the reactionists are now not likely to gain control. Gary, of Edgefield, always the most prominent leader of the "straight-outs" in the "up country" and a bitter opponent of Gov ernor Hampton's liberal policy, is mak ing a push for the governorship, but his candidacy does not develop a great deal of strength, and the nomination seems more likely to go to Comptroller General Hagood, a good representative ot the liberal movement. With a liber al Democratic ticket and platform Sen ator Hampton does not think the Re publicans'ean make any effective oppo sition. 116 'believes that the seven teen or eighteen thousand negroes who voted for him at his first election in 1876 have been joined by enough others since to easily give a fair Democratic ticket a majority. As for the general condition of the negroes Senator Hamp ton says that it is better now than eyer befere. They are more industrious, accumulating more property and get ting along with their white neighbors more harmoniously than in any pre vious year. A Railroad Prize. A Louisville (Ky.) dispatch says it is officially announced in that city that the Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern Railway has procured, through secret agents, the franchise and road-bed of the partially-constructed Georgia Western Road. Vice-President Newcombe, of the Louisville and Nashville, in an interview, is quoted as saying : "The importance and value to the Louisville and Nashville, and the advantages which she acquires by this brilliant stroke of strategy, can only be faintly realized. We haye acquired for a mere song a roaa lor wmcn the city of Atlanta has already expended $500, 000, and which has valuable depot and terminal facilities at the city of Atlan ta. The road is graded some thirty seven miles, and will tap a fine mineral region, supplying the city of Atlanta with just what she needs cheap and in exhaustible fuel. A corps of engineers will be sent out immediately to survey both the projected routes. As the char ter provides for the building of the Western Georgia Road from Atlanta to Birmingham, Alabama, or Decatur the Louisville and Nashville has thus the choice of the two routes, and can not determine which route it will se lect until the surveys are completed. By this movement the Louisville and Nashville secures an independent line to Atherton, and obtains the ad vantage of the long haul to Decatur and Birmingham, instead of delivering her passengers and traffic to the Nash ville and Chattanooga at Nashville, as is now done. The acquisition recently by the Louisville and Nashville of the Montgomery and Mobile, and the con trol of the Mobile and New Orleans and Pensacola roads, and Louisville and New Albany and Chicago line, and now the Georgia Western, gives to the Louisville road a grand and continu ous line, extending from the fresh-water lakes of the great Northwest to the Gulf of Mexico, with an independent line to Atlanta." "My son.' Paris Letter to the Philadelphia Telegrai h. I heard a story of Sarah Bernhardt the other day that illustrates the cool effrontery of that eccentric personage. One of the first invitations to dinner that she received during her sojourn in London last spring was extended to her by a certain severe and stately matron, who w-as somewhat surprised when her gifted guest only accepted her invita tion on condition of her being allowed to bring "a friend." The permission was accorded, however, and at the ap pointed hour Mile. Bernhardt entered, accompanied by a tall boy of fourteen. She advanced to the hostess, graceful, gliding, gracious, "Madame, allow me to present to you my son !" The con sternation of the lady and her guests can better be imagined than described Morgan's Opposition to Rayarti. Special to the Philadelphia Times. Washington, Dec. 17. The financial speech made by Morgan, of Alabama, in the Senate to-day, in opposition to the Bayard resolution and in fayor of the unlimited coinage of silver, by no means reflects the sentiments of the leading Southern Senators, some of whom have already pronounced it not only unwise, but unsound in many re spects. It was mainly hodge-podge of exploded economic and financial the ories and a repetition of threadbare fal lacies. Tbe speech was listened to at tentively by nearly all the prominent Senators, a fact which foreshadows the great interest that will be taken in the long debate on the legal-tender question which is inevitable after the holidays. The Talk at the Capitol. Wash. cor. Richmond Dispatch. There is no doubt but that Republi cans of the House are seriously discuss ing the proposition that the New York Legislature shall gobble up the elec toral vote of that State, in spite of Til den or anti-Tilden Democrats. The Maine matter was again talked of, and the Republicans are terribly vexed at being out-generaled. South Carolinians say that the candidates for Governor in that State will be Johnson Hagood (Democrat) and General M. W. Gray (Independent). I heard that while in Georgia Senator Lamar expressed him self most strongly in favor of Mr. Bayard, saying if nominated he has a good show of carrying even Massachu setts. Senator Lamar was called to Georgia by the death Of his mother. The Old Man Knew His Sons. Rledsvtlle Times. Mr. Wormley, a very wealthy man, who lived in Chesterfield, Va., had two sons, Tom and Jack, both fond of play ing poker, but Jack was sharp at the game and Tom veryJ flat. When, the old man died he left" Tom ninety thous and dollars and Jack only a thousand, but he explained; at the foot of his will that one thousand was j ust stake enough for Jack to win everything that Tom had, and it was a wise provision, for so it turned out. Why He Did Not Cross. Raleigh News. General Joseph Johnston was late ly in Raleigh and a gentleman asked him rather pointedly why the Southern army did not take Washington after the first battle of Manassas. Rising on his toes, he replied: "There were two reas ons myself and the Potomac rive. I had reached that age that I knew an American soldier could not ford a riyer a mile wide and eighteen feet deep." ' 115 Thousand Pounds of flhercoats, ULSTERS AND ULSTERETTES !
