have received universal plaudits from his
countrymen. Grant measured his man, and
has thus crushed out formidable rival. He
has used him for his own purpose while he
could be made useful, and now he brushes
him by thwarting his well-lsid plans 10 cap
ture all the guilty. Mr.. Grant is doubtless
prepared 10 deal thus with all who rival him
in his aspirations.
But is there not virtue enough In the Re
publican party TO rise up 10 the dignity and
Importance OF the situationr Can they not
see that Mr.. Grant has been indirectly, 81
least, fostering corruptionf Is there not q
melancholy danger that the $4,000 in cash
with which Mcdonald went East on one OF
his missions, and was found riding with the
president and threatening the secretary,
was LETT some where upon which the light
will yet shine? Is there not virtue enough
in the Republican party to choose defeat
rather than success tainted as q victory
with Grant would BET Can there be any
campaign enthusiasm generated over the
rottenness that smells to Heaven from the
present administration Can the heroes OF
the war adhere longer to himt Will the
clergy OF the church commend himi VIII
the Republican leaders stifie every honest
aud honorable connection and be found
again shouting hossnnss to this msni II so,
let liberty draw her chaste robes around her
and bid sdieu to Republican America.

The Herndon Murderer.

MANASSAS, PRINCE WILLIAM Co., Va,
March l2-The Gazette of tomorrow will
contain the following:
Major w. w. Thornton, of BrentsVille, re.
ceived letter from Governor Kemper, a few
days ago, stating that application had been
made to him to respite Jesse Fouks, sentenced
murder of the Herndon family, consisting OF
Dao aud wife and coored boy, on the 5th
day of December, 1874, 10 the county of Prince
William, and requesting the Major to go to
the Jail aud see the condemned man and ascer-
tain, if he could, if such respite would DE ad-
yisable.
''Maj Thornton visited Fcuks % Wednesday
last ,aud held conversation with him. 10 which
conversation the prisoner reiterated his guilt,
and said be thought he Dug BIT to be hung. Maj.
L. has sent the result of this interview and also
a copy Of the Manassas Gazette, contalnlng
Fouks' confession, to the Governor.
''Fouks, on being Informed by Mr. woodward,
jaiior, that an effort was being made to put OFT
his execution for short time, said he did not
desire it to be put of, " but wished the time
was nearer at hand Fouks prays almost oou-
tinualIy in his waking hours, nlght and day,
but still says he has 20 evidence of forgiveness
from God, for the crime he has committed.
He said 10 conversation with the Sheriff aud
TAILOR on Thursday morning last, that he de-
sired to see either Mr.. Marsh or Mr.. Dullp,
ministers Of the New School Baptist Church,
and we have no doubt one OF both of these
gentlemen will visit him as soon as they get
word of his desire.
"Fouks was visited GU Tuesday last, by a
physician of Fauquier county, who requested
the prisoner to give him his body after the exc
cuton, to which the condemned man readily
consented, stating that it would be taken up
by some doctor anyhow He said he cared
nothing for the body so he could save his soul.
''Fouks will be executed in the Jail yard at
Breutsve on Friday next, the 10Th inst The
gallows will be erected during the coming week.
Had Fouks remained in the cell where he was
first placed he could have seen the gallows from
his window but haviog escaped from the cell,
when recaptured, was put in front cell.

By our Special Correspondent.I
Port Ludlow is rushing things
1t has been the busiest little town
on the Sound for more than year
and is hvelier now than ever.
Capt. Hall makes business lively
in his ship-yard. His ninth vessel
sailed on Saturday last. The
same day the keel was laid for a
larger vessel than any built there
since the Forest Queen. She is to
have a length of keel of l27
feet.
We notice a new chimney, com.
pleted for the mill. 1t is over
eighty feet high, and so far as we
can judge in excellent proportion.
New boilers arc coming and all
the adjuncts necessary for making
all the steam that may be required
for cutting more lumber than ever
before.
We are gratified at the prosper
ity of Port Ludlow, as the propri-
etor deserves success for his un-
bounded enterprise.
The Adelaide Cooper, com
manded by Capt. Halves, is being
recoppered at Port Ludlow, as
the work can be done cheaper
here than in San Francisco; so the
material was purchased below and
brought hither. She will be ready
to take in lumber in a few days.
The Ludlow Hotel is full to
overAowing. The house is orderly
and well kept, and the table pro.
vided with all the market affords.
Those whose lot it is to board
there appear to enjoy the advan-
tages it affords.
The reading room is well pat
ronized, which is quite new and
healthy moral feature in such an
establishment.
The Forest Queen is in, having
made the round trip in twenty7six
days. 1t is a source Of gratula-
ton to Puget Saunders to know
that the fastest vessel in the lum,
ber trade, was built on our shores.
She is a beautiful model without
and has excellent arrangements
within. The gentlemaniy and
eficiens Captain Burns. who has
so successfully run her sincs her
debut, kindly showed us Through
his and the passenger quarters,
which appeared exceedingly neat
and we'll adapted for their respee.
tive purposes. s1.-si ssaZ. (
