We are frank to admit that General
Mahone's surrender to the Radicals is
no surprise to US. We never had any
faith in the man, and his present atti-
tude, as we regard it, is but the logical
outcome of public career which has
been marked Throughout by duplicity,
sordid selfishnesS and uDciean methods.
At the same time. it is true that the
great mass of the Conservative people
of the State looked upon him as DEM
ocrat, and as differing from others of his
party in nothing except as t0the settle
ment Of the debt; that he claimed him
self to be g Democrat; that three years
ago he was q candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of the
State; that he was proclaimed by his
friends upon the hustipgs, both in the
canvass of 70 and 80, as a Democrat,
and as Democrat he was elected to the
Senate Nor can it be denied, if he
had intimated his purpose Of acting
with the Radicals, he could not possibly
have been elected to the Senate. I'm
questionably. therefore, he is guilty OF
treachery to all who trusted him as a
Democfat, nor can he escape the charge
of stealing into his position as Senator
under false pretences and through false
representations y Winchester Times.

announce the unexpected death of Mrs. Lilly

Guy, ESQ., which occurred, after brief illness,
at the residence Of her husband in this city
about midnight of last Thursday, the 24th IN
slant. 1t has been but little more than ten
months since she came to this city a happy
bride, having been married at the residence of
her mother at Lewisburg, w. Va, on the 18th
of May last She was daugh. er of the late
Judge Joseph Fry. of Wheeling, W. Va, and O.
granddaughter of the late Rev. John Noel
benny. D. D., of Lewisburg. w, Va, and was a
lady of intelligence and culture and possessed
in the highest degree the eraces of a pure. sim
cere. and conscientious christian. It can be
said of her with TRUTH
None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.v
She possessed lovely character. and her
loneliness impressed favorably all who formed
her acquaintance and Thus II ia that though
she had lived here such short time her
friends and admirers in this city are very
numerous, and her death will be sorely felt
and deeply deplored by all who knew her.

DROWNING oF Young LEWIS HARTMAN
Our community was shocked on last Saturday
morning to hear, by telegram, of the drowning
in the Canal of young Lewis Hartman, aged 20,
next the youngest son of Mrs. Margaret Hartman
of this city. The news was at first doubted, but
only proved too true. The particulars of this
sad accident, as we learn them are as follows
He was the captain of the canal packet supply
boat, "John Huntley," and on reaching Cole
mans Ferry, on last Friday, about Il O'Clock
he sent one of his colored hands around the
Ferry with his team. whilst, with the other
hand, he attempted to float his boat down; but
the wind arising, and being apprehensive that
the boat would be driven over the DAM he
stripped himself and, fastening rope to him.
self, attempted to swim to the bank in order to
fasten it to tree. The water was very cold
and he became exhausted when still some dis
| lance from the bank, and called to the colored
man to pull him back to the boat. i his he
attempted to do. but just as young Hartman
was near the boat the rope became loosened
from him, and he sank to Use no more, within
a few feet of the boat. After several hours
search his body was recovered by his brother
Arthur C. Hartman, and was brought to Staun-
ton on Saturday last.
The deceased was young man of fine prom.
Use; active, energetic, of excellent business
capacity, and greatly liked and respected by
all who knew him.
In this, their sad bereavement, the deep and
full sympathy of the entire community goes
out to his stricken mothe and grieving sisters
and brothers.
The funeral services were conducted from the
Episcopal church last Sunday evening, at 8
| o'clock, and were attended by large concourse
of sorrowing friends and relatives. The follow

After publishing the speech in the Sen

ing Malone, the Lynchburg Advonce
says
"We copy above the report of he
speech of the meanest and most vindic-
tive man in New England in endcrsa
ton of Gen. Mahone's course. This
man has always been so vindictive and
f,natical-that the Democrats in Con-
gress applauded even Ben Butler when
he skinned him and expressed his hy-
pocrisy and fanatieisni Now Virgin
ia Senator is seen endorsed and defend
ed by ConkiiDg, Logan and CSC. F
Hoar This cannot be a matter of graft
ficaiien to any Democrat, Bourbon or

A Washington dispatch to the State
says:
"It is reported that nearly third OF
the Republican Senators opposed in
caucus the nomination of Riddleberger
or any other Readjuster as the candidate
of that party for Sergeant at Arms
also, that five have withdrawn from the
caucus, and several refused to vote. II
is said among Democrats that the nomi-
nation of Gilmer for the Richmond
postoffice will be resisted"
1t is doubtless, says the Lynchburg
Vargsnion, an unsavory dish that the
new Republican Senator has set before
them. But they have to take it.
