Death of Alexander St. Clair Bows.

This gentleman died in Hillsboro, Ohio, on
the 25th ult., after several years OF i'll health
He was native of Staunton, and son OF the
late DR.. William Boys. He was born IN the
year 1917, and, consequently, was fifty one
years of age at the time of his death. lie
never married.
The personal acquaintance Of Mr.. Boys need
not be told that he was a man of high charac-
ter and attainments- uncommon talent and
chiyalrous honor. Soon after completing his
legal studies, he located in Chillicothe, Ohio,
and continued to practice his profession there
and in Hillsboro, till interrupted by the SICK
ness which terminated his life The distinction
he attained is evinced by the fact of his having
been selected at one time by the Democratic
marty as their candidate for Judge OF the Su-
preme Court of Ohio. Of his eminent fitness
for the place no one who knew him could doubt.
He. however, shared the defeat of his party
He never acquired the habit of public speak
ing, but, as a talker, he was almost unrivaled ;
and as profound thinker and vouminous wri-
ter on all questions connected with politics. he
exerted a wide influence. But the old friends
of Mr. Boys, still living in Staunton, will be
more interested to learn that he never ceased
to be Virginian in heart and soul. and chung
to his native State, and his own people through
all the trials of the last eight years with evel
increasing affection.

The Spirit Of Lincoln in the Executive
Mansion.

The Washington correspondent "E' of the
Baltimore Gazette, under date of the 18th inst,
says:
1T appears that the Spirits will not down,
even at Executive bidding, but have again
invaded the White House, and this time the
audience chamber of the President Under
the escort of Col. Tom Florence, the editor and
proprietor of the Constitutional Union, Mrs.
Daniels, the Boston medium, visited the Exc
cutive Mansion few days since and sought an
interview with his Excellency. Col. Tom is
himself first class spiritualist, and he was but
too happy to present the fascinating medium
to Mr.. Johnson. His card, as usual was tails
manic, and the Presidents mahogany door
soon opened for the admission Of the gallant
Colonel and his companion. But no sooner
was the door again closed than the President
was startled by the well-remembered horse
laugh of the Slate lamented Lincoln" with the
words from the lips of the entraneed medium,
Let him laugh who wins What could it
mean? There was no installing the laugh, the
manner, the expression. Colonel Florence
swears it was Lincoln's own laugh, and the
President recognized it, and was dumb with
establishment. LET him laugh who wins
said the spirit Ct the 'Martyred President -
and his coarse good natufed laugh again rang
through the Presidential Mansion. What did
it mean? All! there's the rub Mrs Dan
to have long talk with President johnson on
another opportunity when the President was
less occupied with official duties. Before leav-
ing, Mrs. Daniels was presented with magnif-
cent bouquet, in partial remuneration, perhaps,
for the thrilling souvenir she had left Of ''the

Expulsion of negroes from the Georgia
Legislature.

It is a noticeable fact, says the Richmond
Whig, that the Radical newspapers deal with
the action of the Georgia Legislature, in ex-
polling the % negro members of the lower house
of that body as if it were the result of mere op-
ton and not of an honest construction of the
Constitution of Georgia as it bears on the sub
ject. 1t is to be remembered that the grounds
Of this exclusion of the negro members, as clear
ly and forcibly stated in the three days debate,
were that under the provisions of the State
Constitution negroes are ineligible to office. It
was not that the House did not choose to re-
cognize them as members because of their color,
but because the Constitution itself excluded
them from membership. That Constitution,
lately adopted, should, at least in Radical con-
temptation, be held as 1.-THE will of the people.
The Radicals are accustomed to proclaim the
will of the people as the supreme law Will
they now dishonor their favorite dogma?
Every step in the progress of ''reconstruc-
ton" so-called shows that it is an utter failure
There is no stability, no permanence in it. 1t
has to be bolstered up at every stage by tempo
rary props and expedients 1t requires constant
mending and fixing up. 1t rests upon an I'M
natural basis and nature itself will ultimately
destroy it. r.

Maine Election.

The State election took place in Maine on
yesterday That State has been actively can
vassed by both parties. The Radicals have
been working live beavers, aud have been
spending large amounts of money.
The Portland, Me-, correspondent of the
New York World says that, ''the Radical say
they will give up all hope of carrying the Pres
idential election unless they carry Maine by
twenty thousand majority" We do not be-
lieve that they have carried it by more than
half that majority. The election is now over.
and by tomorrow or next day we will know
the result The States which vote on the 18th
of October will indicate how the Presidential
election will result. The New England States
are not affected by those questions which, it is
believed are working such favorable changes
in the Central and Western States.

Pendleton's Speeches.

In speaking of the admirable campaign
speeches of this popular and distinguished gen
tleman, the Enquirer and Examiner says
They are models of capital eleetioneering ad-
dresses utterly free from vituperation. slang
and clap trap, and instinct with stubborn facts
and irrefragable logic. We are reminded in
reading them of the mature efforts of Clay,
with their polished sentences, ardent patriotism,
stirring appeals and strenuous demolition of adj
versaries
In reading these brilliant and demonstrative
addresses We feel disposed to congratulate the
Democracy that in this supreme crisis of the
fate of the Republic, this eloquent tongue was
not silenced by a nomination, which would have
constrained its possessor to sacrifice the inter
ests of his cause to the etiquette Of candidacy

Radical Economy.

Instead of the public debt of the United
States having been diminished since the close
of the war, it has actually been increased to
the amount of sl56, 579, 4O3,33. Such is Rad
ical economy in time Of peace Though we
have peace, SO called, the army costs the Gov
eminent eleven millions of dollars per month.
For the purpose of forcing negro suffrage and
negro equality upon the Southern people at the
point Of the bayonet, that the Radicals may be
continued in power, twenty thousand troops are
stationed South of the Potomac at cost of
forty millions per year. Glorious administra-
ton of the Government? Happy people p

PERSONAL DIFFICULTY AT BRISTOL. Bristol
was enlivened on Wednesday by set-to be-
tween the editors of the Ner0s and q citizen
known as Squire Shangle. The Squire, it
seems, took communication to the newspaper
Office for publication, which reflected severely
on the editors and others. They refused to
publish it. The Squire replied that he was
responsible for it. Fine Senior then proceeded
to knock him out of the door, and the Junior
jumped on and pummeled him soundly. And
that was the end of it.-LyncA. Nyinian.

Suicide in Frederick County.

In Frederick county, on the Sth inst, Mr. J.
z. ID. Brumback, a worthy young man, "a
years of age, committed suicide by blowing his
brains out with rife. The Winchester Ne,os
says that, ION the fly leaf of book, that he
carried in his pocket, he requested his friends
to inter his remains quietly, and without any
show whatever. His family possess means,
and have always been held in high respect
among the people of that section of the county.
The deceased was good soldier, and served
during the war in Co. c., 18th Va. Cavalry
His remains were inferred on the 9th instant,
a large concourse Of sorrowing friends follow
ing them to their last resting place"

The Authoritative Voice of Virginia as
Exnressed in 1919

We published last week the admirable reply
of Gen. r. E. Lee and other distinguished
Southern gentlemen to the letter addressed to
Gen. Lee by Gen. Rosecrans
The people of the South endorse the senti-
ments SO well expressed in that reply. In the
absence OF any recent authoritative expression
of the sentiments of the people of this State
the committee appointed by the Conservative
State Convention in December last to issue an
address having, as yet, failed to do so-it is
well, we think, to republish portion of the
joint resolution adopted by the General As
sembly in 1866, as the views and feelings of
the people of this State have not undergone
any change since that time in reference to the
duties and obligations imposed upon them by
the result of the war. The views of our peo-
pie so clearly and explicitly expressed in the
authoritative voice of both branches of the
Legislature, representing all parts of the State,
should be kept before the people of the North
SO that all who may wish to do so can learn
what they really are-so that even the wayfar-
ing man, though fool, could not err therein
The following is an extract from the joint res
olution referred to and adopted by the General
Assembly of Virginia in 1865: 81
eve accept the result Of the late contest
and do not desire to renew what has been so
conclusively determined {; nor do we intend to
| permit any one subject to our control to at
| tempt its renewal, or to violate any of our obi
cations to the United States Government.
That involuntary servitude, except
for crime, is abolished, and ought not to be re-
established; and that the negro race among us
| should be treated with justice, humanity and
good faith, and every means that the wisdom
of the Legislature can devise should be used to
make them useful and intelligent members of
society,""
our distinguished townsman, Hon. Jno. B.
Baldwin-as chairman of the committee ap-
pointed to present them to the President of the
United States, In presenting them to Mr.
johnson, on the 10th of February, 1886, used
the following uneqaivocal and explicit lam
guage:
I'm declaring that the people of Virginia
and their representatives accept and abide by
the results of the late contest and that they
intend in good faith to meet all the obligations
thereby incurred the General Assembly ex-
been uniformly recognized By our people. ind
uidgatly and en- naasse, and IN regard to a0Iich
there IS no hesitation or discussion az Virginia !"
Chief among the results they accepted is
the universal conviction that the Union Of
these States is an established and enduring
fact, and that the whole future of our people
is indisso!nhly bound up for veal Or woe with
the success or failprs Of the Government of
the United states.'

Pennsylvania in the Coming Contest

What Of Pennsylvania What of the Key
stone State? What will she do in the coming
contest? are oft repeated inquiries Our reply
is, she will do her whole duty. During the
past week we have seen several gentleman who.
in the routine Of business, haye travelled the
State from the Delaware to the Ohio, and the
reports they give Of the tone of public sentiment
everywhere uniformly point to an overwhelnl-
ing Democratic victory. Our informants are
gentlemen of Intelligence, who would not will
fully misrepresent facts. Their opportunities
for observation have been very extended, and
but for the fact chap we can place implicit con-
hdence In their statements, We SHOULD feel In
clined to doubt the possibility Of such an en-
thusiastic awakening of the masses in behalf Of
the Democratic nominees as they report In
the large cities and towns, in the retired villages
and throughout the rural districts, the universal
cry is: Give US change ofruers. Any change
must be for the better. We have had our ELL
of taxation, OF negro supporting, of constitution
breaking, and OF rottenness fraud and corrup-
ton. We have given the Radical party fair
trial. For eight long, weary years we have per-
mitted it to control our national affairs at the
dls erection of its leaders, and what have been
the results? 4 nation whose peace is imperiled !;
whose credit is brokep whose industrial inter-
ests are parayged; whose people are tagged
heavier than the people OF any other country on
the face of the earth whose Constitution has
been violated, and who, to-day, protesting to be
republican nation, hold in militia y and negro
bondage the white people often sovereign States.
These are some of the indictments which the
people of the State of Pennsylvania are prefer
ring against the Jacobin party. They have ar
ragned this destructive faction on these and
many other accounts, and, having given it a fair
and impartial traal, have resolved to render
verdict in accordance With facts-guilty If,
then, our friends abroad desire to knoW how
matters stand in the Keystone State, we say
to them all is well. Judging from the present
state Of feeling, Seymour and Blair will carry
the State by such a majority as will bury Radi.
calism forever in the Keystone Commonwealth.
