Starvation in Patrick County.

A special courier arrived at Danville on
Saturday fiom Patrick county, begging re.
lief for the people of that county, 5000 OF
whom are starving for want of meal or -four
The total failure of their crops last year i'm
poverished them many months ago. and
their small supplies have Been at last cx-
hausted. Women and children have al
ready died from starvation, and there are
300 people now at Patrick Court house who
have had hardly anything to cat for two and
three days. The county is situated in re-
mote and inaccessible portion of Virginia.
The roads are mountainous and bad, and
communications are slow aud difficult
Among the poorer classes the suffering is
terrible. Efforts are being made at once to
organize relief expeditions.
A special dispatch from Danville, saws :
Reports from Patrick County are to the eff
feet that 5000 persons are starving. The
drought last yeargreatly curtailed the crops
In many portions of the county hundreds
OF people are crOwding around the settle
ment imploring aid. 4 load of corn was re-
ceived at the courthouse few days ago.
Before it could be distributed hundreds of
starving women and children crowded
around the vehicle, imploring to be given q
quart or a peck Of grain. A courier Just ar
rived gives heartrending account Of the
situation. The courthouse is crowded with
men, women and children begging bread.
Three hundred of them had not tasted food
for two days. The county is isolated in the
mountains. The nearest railway station is
forty-five miles distant. In some cases $500
has been offered for barrel of flour Sew
eral wagons with relief have been sent from
Danville, travelling all night, in hope of say
ing the lives of some"
Per contra, the Richmond correspondent
of the Petersburg Inder-Appeal says, "Awell
known ex-member of the Senate from Pat
rick says that the suffering in that county
is greatly exaggerated. He says that he
knows of but little suffering in the county.
Owing to the drought of last summer and
other causes, the people in that section have
felt the want Of the necessaries of life; but
still from what reliable men who are IN a
position to know, it is not probable that
there is any danger Of anything like a
famine"

PRESERVATION OF THE WILL OF GEN.
GEORGE WAsHINGToN-Thew will of General
George Washington, on file in the Clerks
office of this county, received so much wear
and tear at the hands of strangers who
desired to Inspect it, that the Clerk, Mr..
Richardson found it necessary to adopt
means for its preservation. Consequently.
neat case, with glass top, was made for
7 it by MIR. W. L. Thompson, and while the
will can be seen it cannot be handled by
those who wish to look at the venerable
document, 1t is written on heavy, unruled
paper, about note size, and every side is
covered. There are 81 pages, all of which
have General Washington's name attached
except the 23d, which ended with the words
City of Washington" and it is supposed
that in looking over it, the General mistook
the words for his signature and therefore
failed to sign the page. The entire will is
in his own handwriting, and was written in
l7s9-the year he died.-Fairfar Herald.

grandfather, who was Washngton's family

Correction.
To the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette ::

| To the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
| statement in the New York Weekly Herald
made Oh the authority of DIR. Moore, claims fol
John Dickinson the authorship of the Declaration
of Independence.
Dr. Moore, no doubt believes what he says as he
offers to defend the claim Of Mr.. Dick
| inson against all Corners" His error is not Al,
unnatural one. He finds among Mr. Dickinson's
papers copy of the Declaration in his hand.
writing, and finds also somewhat careless state.
ment in Mr.. Jcfferson's memoirs which seems to
attribute the authorship of the Declaration to Mr.
Dickinson and hence concludes that Mr. Jefferson
himself and all others have been mistaken upon
this point for more than hundred years.
Now MIR. Jefferson was writing forty-iye years
after the Declaration was issued himself then at
the age of scventy-fve. He was careless upon a
point familiar to ALL
To suppose that Mr. Moore is right is to believe
MIR. Jefferson capable of claiming what did not be-
long to him and directing this claim to be nscrib
ed on his tomb.
The idea is simply absurd yet the claim is made
with such apparent sincerity that q correction
seems to be called for
The cxistance of the Declaration will be found
in preamble Of Virgina's Constitution and also in
petition to the Throne of Great Britain both
from the pen of Jefferson and both antidatiug the
Declaration. These documents SO closely resemble
the Declaration that but for their being from his
own pen Mr. Jefferson might well be charged with
plagiarism.
1t seems probable that Mr. Dickinson did make
some trivial alteration in the Declaration so
trivial that Mr.. Jefferson did not notice it. |
infer this much from the quotation given by DR..
Moore from Jeffersons memoir.
This l think will be found sufficient correction
of what seems an obvious error of DR.. Moore

A sCALAwAG Ex-Governor of South Caro-
lima in the New York pcnitentiary is only
"A legitimate result Of the policy that though
long pursued by the republican party to-
ward the South has only recently been for
mulated by Senator Sherman, and which is
that anything is justiliable in law and
morals that will beat down the democratic
party" Crime in the name of liberty, is
committed in the South now, as it was in
France during the days of Madame Roland
The success Of the so-callcd liberalism and
indcpendentism Of the South means the
supremacyofa electromagnetic maintained by
the solid negro vote. and the case of Moses
affords Il fair example Of the effect of such
supremacy.

ONE or the protested tcncts of Mahoncism
is regard for and obedience to the will of
the people but that tits no more binding upon
the followers of That faith than any of its
other doctrines which they disregard with
IMMUNITY, is proved by their refusal to call Il
convention to nominate a candidate for Con-
gresham ut large, and their avowcd inten-
ton to usurp that authority for their central
committee. They refused to submit the re-
pudation bill to the vote Of the people, they
defeated the land sales bill because the DEM
ocrats made the commissioner elective by
the people, and now they refuse TO allow
the men who vote their ticket the right to 4
voice in its selection. One man power may
he, and doubtless is, the right government
for ignorant and semi-civilized negroes, but
it wont do for white Virginians, whether
they be adopted citizens Of the State or to

JOHN CHAPMAN HUNTER died at his home
IN Georgetown, on Friday evening last, in the
forty-sixth year of his age-in the prime of man
hood: He had been sufferer for some time, but
bore his affiicton with becoming fortitude, and
met his end as man should do. Intellioent
amlable and generous to fault he was a favorite
wherever known, and he has gone down to the
grave amid the heartfelt sorrow of host of
friends. He may have sinned who has not but
the recording angel rs he looked into his heart so
iull OF gentle Kindness, must have blotted out the
record with tear. Peace to his names, and may
the turf above his grave be ever green, as his
memory will be in the hearts of those who knew
him and loved him.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE -, 1892.

As ALL the republicansin Virginia arenot
the kind Of men Capt. John Wise and Gen
eral Malone represent them to be, it is not
unlikely that some Of them will agree with
and endorse every word Of the following ar
ticle from the Baltimore american:
1T is almost inevitable that large body Of
the Virginia Republicans will withdraw
from all alliance with the readjusters at the
next election. Nor can General Malone
wonder at this. In spite Of the warnings of
cool-hcaded people he carried the dictator
ship ofthc party to pitch of arrogance that
alienatcd some of the ablcst of his rcadjustcr
friends, and he was so unjust to his allies,
the Republicans, that he has alicnated many
of them. What could he expect when cX-
Union soldiers and staunch Republicans
We're turned ont OF office to make place for
Confederate Democratic Read uStcrS ?
What could he expect when colorcd Repub-
leans were turned ont to make place for
Democratic Rcadjusters? Could he imagine
that the Republicans would bear such per-
$slcnt snubbing as this? There was anoth-
CT difficulty. The straghout Republicans
are in sympathy with the independents" of
PENNSYLVANIA and the Half Breeds of New
York, and they were Disguised at the effort
made just before the Virginia legislature adj
j"urncd to carry the Rcadjustel-Republiran
coalition bodily over TO the Stalwart wing of
the Republican party. Senator Malone has
difficulties to face greater than any that he
has encountered in the past
