exceeding two hundred dollars, whereas in
most Western States it amounted to several

Hon John II. Lewis, Of Virginia, intro

Of 1872, which afteruard, through the abe
aud energetic manner in which he pushed it

GINA and several other Southern States So 900

constitutional BY the ablsst lawyers in the
country. bat the Court Of Appeals of Vir-
GINA and Judge Alexander Rives, United

SENATOR LEWIS.
CT the agt

Several weeks ago the bill relieving from
political disabilities Hon. r. NJ. 7. Hunter
was defeated in the Senate by the objection
Of Senator Foreman, to taking it up. Since
then Hon. j, 7. Lewis, has taken a particu-
lar interest in the natter, and finally succeed
ed in having the bill taken up ard passed
Senator Lewis regarded MIR. Hunter in the
same light, precisely. as he did other prom
uent Vireinians. and he could see no valid
reason for granting amnesty to Cows. Smith
and Leake, and others of equal note, and
Withholding it from Mr.. Hunter.
TIE fact is, Senator Lewis is one of the
best representatives We nave ever KNOWN
He has done more routine and departing Mt
business for the people of Virginia than all
the IT, S. Senators we have ever had His
labors have been especially cnerous since the
commencement Of the past session. Being in
political sympathy with the administration
every one who had favor to ask, or desired
to push through she departments some bust.
ness of non partlzsn nature, called on Seua-
tor Lewis for his aid. This he invariably
rendered. His plain, strait-forward name.
of dischargins the duties Of his position and
meeting all questions, have inspired the con.
dieace CT the departments and the admins
tration in his honesty and integrity, and it i.
shis that gives him much Of his influence =
In addition to the multifarious duties of {
personal character he has attended to for The
people Of Virginia, much Of his time ha. beer
employed during the session, in pressing be
fore the committee on Roads anu Navigation
the interests Of the James River and Kan.
VIA Cana! aud the declaratory bankrupt bill
before the Senate judiciary Committee
These he has pressed with energy and fore.
| and it was through his opportunities and coz
stancy that the judiciary Committee tool
prompt and favorable action on the bankrup
bill OF course, Senator Lewis was not aloD.
in these efforts. He was sustained actively b.
the Republican members Of Congress, and es
pco;aliy Mr. Plat, and also the Couscrvativ,
members, as we'll as the members elect, Hons
j. Ambier Smith and j. 3. Scner.
We have had occasion to observe tn
promptness that charscterizes Senator Lewis
attention to the requests Of his constituent
of both parties, and can testify that We hae
never seen more faithful, impartial labori
GUS and efficient representative in the Senate
or the House. We think the people Of Vir
GINA appreciate his services, and withou
distinction Of party, are disposed to accord t
him proper credit Of course he must ex
pect unjust reflections and insinuatiye Geo
sure, for where is the faithful public servan
who has escaped them? But he can affort
to bear them, for if there is man in Vlr
glna whose public acts are free from dissin;
ulation and deception, il is John T. Lewis.
