Hon, John F. Lewis.

II ever there was a true gentlemen UNI
Justly aspersed and maliciously slandered
it was the Hon. JnO. F. Lewis during the
canvass just closed. The whole Bourbon
faction seemed to be ambitious to take q
part in the vile calumnies and unmitigated
falsehoods which were heaped upon him
There W AS scarcely fact Of his public or
private life that was not perverted and mis-
represented. Brave, generous, honorable
and manly, as he is known to be in all the
relations of life, partizan necessities de-
mandedthat everyviItue he possessed should
he contnrted into vice, and every inspi-
ration Of devotion to his native State
he converted into sinister motive to stab
her To her vtals. We have never known
such INSCRIPTIONS defamation. such wicked
ISLANDERS and malignant denunciations. But
the people have answered them with an emf
phasis that cannot be mistaken and re-
buke which will be felt. And the political
power, for whose sake he has endured this
gross yiIli6cstion, will not forget him, nor
allow his public character and reputation
to 90 without more formal and complete
Yindication.
1t is one Of the strange phases OF the cam
vass that persons who had always recog-
nized Mr., Lewis as gentleman without
reproach. shoud have allowed themselves to
be carried into such excuses Of yituperation
aud ialsehood. simply in the hope Of affect
ing political result. But it was so. and If
they baye any consciousness, we do not en-
w their eoppuEctjons now that the contest
Is over and their vicious and malicious Pnr-
pose defeated.

The New State Administration

Col. Cameron will take the oath of office
and assume the duties of Governor of Virginia
under propitious surroundings, yet be called
upon to face and consider grave responsible
ties He will have to cooperate with him in
carving into effect the pledges aud policy of
iparty majority OF the Legislature, and itf
Is well that it is SO. The responsibility cannot,
therefore, be divided. That he will be equal
to the duties which will confront him and
prove true to the trust confided to him we
have no doubt. He is gent leman OF splendid
intellect; extensive culture, unquestioned
courage and patriotic intentions, and before
him lies broad field of usefulness. He will
have it in his power, by the concurrent action
of the Legislature, to give to the State wise
and prosperous adminlstration-to restore the
constitution to its original provisions as it af-
fects the ballot-to enlarge and improve the
educational privileges Of the masses, and to
introduce liberal and just methods into gov
ernmental affairs. With him and Legisla-
ture, which reflect the sentiment of his par
ty will rest the perpetuation or destruction of
the organization which elected him. 1t may
become the controlling power of the State for
years to come, by wise and catholic measures
and studied concern for the rights and inter-
ests of the people; and in the degree that sue
cess attends in these respects will the influence
emanating therefrom be exerted for the good
of the sister Commonwealth of the South
The field is now an inviting one for q
courageous mind, for there are possibilities in
it which may determine the existence of par
ties and the political destiny of the South
In the discharge of the duties which will
devolve upon him he should receive the hearty
sympathy and support ofall patriotic citizens,
whether his friends in the recent contest or not
His hands should be upheld and strengthened
by all who wish we'll for the State, and no un-
seemly impeachment thrown in the way of the
reforms which his party has promised
1t is our purpose to sustain and defend him
in every honest endeavor for the good Of Vir-
ginia, but it will be no partizan support. We
believed that it would be best for the Common
wealth that a change in party rule should oc
cur, and now that it has been effected and an
able and courageous chief magistrate chosen
we shall patiently and confidently await the
result |

The State is specializing how the House of
Representatives may and may not be organized

Bourbon Democracy, and will be susta ined by

Two three-story buildings in New York
city fell on the Och. killing nine PERSONS
Among them were Mrs. Hill and her two
little children--the husband being severely
injured. The children, it was thought, were
suffocated from the dust arising from the
debris surrounding them. Mrs. Hill was
fastened between the broken timbers, with
her hands and arms encased in the dirt from
tie walls, only her face being exposed. In
this condition she attracted attention by her
cries, and after eight or ten hours bard
work, was extricated by as many men. She
was tenderly handled and cared for, but
soon expired. after being taken to the hos
pitsi. While the workmen were removing
the drs anG broken timbers that sur
rounded her, she eOnyersed freely and
calmly with those around. Her eight
wonths' old child was in her arms when the
crash ea9,e and 1t was AIKEN out dead with

caused much excitement sR1 feeling.

The manufactures of New York amount an

has become protective tariff city. Virginia
will soon understand this question better, as
