Blaine Himself Concedes the State to the Democrat*—No Longer a Shadow of Doubt as to the Result in November —Mahone'a Day Gone. Washington, Aug. 2ft.— The Evening Star < Dem.) publishes the following: The Republican managers are verv much concerned aliout the condition of affairs in Virginia. Mahone’a curious attitude towards the straightout Republicans and his imperious arrogatmn of all power to himself not onlv practically assures the electoral vote of the State to tlic Democrats, but endangers several Uongresiional districts which would other wise go Republican. Not satisfied with driv ing the straightouts from their own partv organization, lie lias, by his imperi ousness, disgusted his own followers, lie has refused to allow the real Republicans of the Mate the least representation in the political organization, and has nominated for Congress twelve of his own men, who have all lieen Democrats and most of them ex- Confederates, thus causing a disruption of the party and a loss of nearly all the Republican influence in the State. The Republican managers who have assisted him and gave him control of the situation l >y snubbing straijirhtouts an<l recognizing only nis delegates at Chicago, are disgusted with the outcome and have very little hopes for the S ate. Neither ( auieron nor Iliudleberger will have anything more to do with the little i>"Ss. and even John 8. Wise is disheartened. < 'aineron has offered lo bet two to one that if a Mahoneitc is nominated at Norfolk he will be defeated. THE CAUSES OF THE REVOLT DETAILED. The Republican managers are very much disturbed by the internal dissen sions in tbe ilabone party of Virginia. At the outset the Republicans had some idea ol carrying Virginia, although they had no good reason for it. That idea lias' been abandoned. The secret of the disaffection in Mahone’s party is found in Mahone’s plantation manners. His lieutenants, for he never had any associates respecting his ability and his political attainments, stood bis offensive ways as long as they could and then revolted. Col. .Simms led the way at Chicago, when Mahone attempted to vote tbe Virginia delegation as a unit for Arthur. lie has now been joined by Riddleberger, Cam eron and others quite as well known, and Mahone’s political existence is threat ened as it has never been before. Whether Mahone is destroyed or not, one thing seems certain, the breaches in the Mahone party will not be healed before the elec tion. The Democrats now count confi dently upon success. Shrewd observers think that Mahone’s power will be perma nently broken. Their opinion is based not so much upon the intrinsic strength of the rebels against Mahone’s tyranny as upon the belief that James G. Blaine is aiding and abetting them by every means in his power. Their theory is that Blaine, believing that Virginia could not be car ried by the Republicans this year in any event, has encourage tbe revolt with a view ot destroying Mahone, whom he has always cordially disliked. lie has no desire, should he be elected to have to submit to the demands of the little boss.

The Murderess then Puts a Razor to Her Own Throat with Ghastly Effect. St. Louis, Aug. 2ft—At O’Fallon, HI., about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Crowther was found in a smoke-house on her premises by ber son-in-law. John H. Lehman, bathed in blood, with her throat cut from ear to ear, and a bloody razor lying by her side. Surgical aid was at once called, her throat sewed up and she was made as ’comfortable as possible. There seemed to be no motive for the dread ful deed, but two hours later it was dis covered to be the sequence of a crime still more horrible. Mrs. Corinaek, a highly respectable widow, and sister of Hon. li. J. A ancourt, was found lying murdered in the garden adjoining her residence, half a mile east of town. Her head and face were dreadful ly beaten and a terrible wound appeared in her breast. A file was found near by, and also a blood-stained piece of an iron kettle and a club, both of which seemed to have been used with terrible effect in the tragedy. Upon closelv ques tioning Mrs. Crowther she confessed to having killed Mrs. Cormack. Mrs. Crow ther’s little daughter had done chores for Mrs. Cormack and a dispute arose about tbe pay for her services. Bad blood already existed. Still more angrv feelings arose, and Mis. Crowther, in her passion, seized the weapons at hand and beat Mrs. Cormack to death. She then hurried away, and in the reaction oi her feelings attempted to end her own life. Three sealed butunaddressed letters, said to have been written by Mrs. Crowther, are now in the bauds of the Coroner. Mrs. Crowther died between ft and 10 o'clock last night alter repeatedly saying that she killed Mrs. Cormack, but with out giving any reason. It seems to be well-known, however, that she enter tained bad feelings towards Mrs. Cormack, growing out of jealousy, and tout she had several times threatened lo kill her.
