How people do change, to be
sure. There are the Pingreys, for
instance. Six months ago, before
they were married, when Henry
used to leave her house, Martha
would stand at the gate and
throw kisses at him until he was
out of sight. This morning, when
he left home, instead Of a kiss.
Martha threw a fire shovel.--Bos-

General Fitz Lees Position.

In reference to paragraph which ap-
peared in the news columns of the Gazette
a few days, ago stating that Gen. Fitz
Lee was opposed to Massey for candidate
for Congressman at large from this State,
we understand that the only opinion that
General Lee has expressed on the subject is
that, while recognizing the courageous and
conscientious course taken by Mr.. Newber-
ry and his friends in the last Legislature,
the duty of the 100 900 democrats who
voted for Daniel, and all others who would
now vote with them, is to name through
a convention, ut the proper time, properly
called, their candidate for Congressman at
large, and to which the claims of all aspir-
ants should be referred so that the nominee
should go before the State with the proper
credentials. At this date Cen Lee thinks
the question Of candidacy lies between Mr.
Massey or some aggressive democrat taken
| from the Southwest or Valley, because from
those sections the white voters in the last
contest were in greater number disatfected
that i democratic convention should decide
the claims of all candidates who propose to
run as democrats, and its decision be cheer.
fully acquiesced in by all true democrats.

The club met Mt the residence of n. w.
Pierson, May q, President R. F. Roberts in
the chair, E. E. Mason, Secretary.
The minutes of the last meeting were read
and R. F. Roberts asked that they be correc-
ted so as to read that the extra quantity of
milk with the amount of hay left over that he
would have to sell would more than pay the
extra expense Of his ensilage With this
correction they were approved.
The critical report was called for but no
opportunity offered for it's consideration, as
the club had to endure its monthly Scold by
its censor.
After recess the ladies aud gentlemen con-
vened together to listen to paper prepared
by Jesse Wilson of Washington City enti-
tied: The farm, the school OF true manhood.
At the close of the reading of which vote
of thanks was rendered Mr.. Wilson for his
courtesy i'll giving the club the benefit of his
literary acquirments.
At supper we were treated to some rolls
and cake furnished by Chas Taylor, of Alex

COMMUNICATED,

/ find the following in the editorial
columns of the Richmond Wing and cannot
refrain from putting in a word in favor of
the good and wise city government of Alex
andria of which know something by ex-
perience and observation:
"The extremes of fanatical Bourbonism and
blue-law PuritanSm meet ut the Council Board
of Alexandria. Urder All ordinance of that city
not even glass of soda water eau be sold Oh Sun
day. The effect of this policy has been to drive
away the numerous excursion parties from Wash
ington and other points which formerly spent
their Sundays-and their mOney-in Alexandria.
So they would turn aside, if they could the vital
currents that are beginning to pour into the Com
| monwealth.
Such filings as this might we'll be expected
! from such q source. Money and spoils are
the wa chwords of the Wing and its party,
no matter what means are used to
attain them, and though its dimes should
be gathered at the expense of Sabbath desc
Grafton, drunken Sunday carnivals, broken
heads and police fines they are dimes all
the same, and the Wing would gather them
The glass Of soda water that yirtuous
journal refers to is quoted for effect Ifany
Sunday excursion party is diverted from
Alexandria by the city ordinance referred
to it is not on account Of the Council cutting
off the soda water, but the whiskey, which
is really the vital arrert pouring into the
Commonwealth in the estimation of the
Wing. Alexandria, in the opinion of all
good men, displays her wisdom, her good
taste, her responsibility and her Christianity
when she chooses her Sabbath quiet rather
than the dimes of visiting excursionists, and
she very wisely prefers to be without such
parties rs would visit the city in order to
patronize her barrooms.

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1882.

No MATTER how correct republican news
papers may be in other respects, not only
their reasoning but their very premises be-
come wrong as soon as they refer to South
ern matters. The american of Philadelphia
says:
There are plenty of Northern republicans
who are anxious that the South shall re-
cevc every kind Of fair play. They have
opposed to the utmost Of their power the
coalition in Virginia, which, if Mr.. Garfield
had lived, would not have been helped by
national patronage to the control of the
State. They regretted and denounced the
equally lamentablc coalition in North Caro-
lima"
That there are not plenty Of Northern re-
publicans anxious that the South shall have
fair play is proved by the patent fact that ii
docs not have fair play; and there is nothing
more certain than the fact that Mr.. Garfield
was as much in favor of the infamous coali-
ton in Virginia as is the man who drew
the Presidential prize in the lottery OF
assassination.

Baltimore society is considerably exercised over
the disappearance of Mr.. Ernault H. Williams,
son of Hon. George H. Williams, president of tile
State senate. Mr. E. H. Williams is a grandson
of the late John S. Cuttings, from whom he in
herited fortune, it is said, of about S25O,OCD
He is about % or "a years of age, and somewhat
eccentric. Some weeks ago he became engaged t.
be married to Miss Lizzie Hazlett, daughter of
Mr.. James Hazlett. The wedd ing was originally
set for June 2S but at the solicitation of Mr.. vii
liams the date was changed to June IA All the
usual preparations for the ceremony were made
but few days ago he suddenly disappeared, and
has not since been heard Of. As his prospective
marriage was understood to be distasteful to his
relatives on account of his youth and peculiar
temperament, it is surmised that he was induced
to leave the city.

HAVING THE dead wood against them,
and being compelled TO acknowledge the
tact>that General Malone did vote against
the repeal of IL statute that was and is in
tended to degrade the men ne led and dis
grace the cause for which he fought in the
civil war, his few white supporters have no
other excuse to offer for that remarkable
vote save the ridiculous assertion that it
was attended to ''allay strifc;' for, save the
fact that he did vote against the repeal Of
the statute referred to, nothing is better
known than the other facts that the repeal
was recommended by every republican
Senator on the Military Committee, that
the only strife that had to be ''allaycd' wa.
that uccasioned by the implacable malignity
Of Senator EdmnndS, and that his, Mahone's
single vote for the repeal would have allayed
that strife temporarily, which is all that
could have been expected.

SOME ILLOGICAL protcctionists point to
the high wages now paid such mechanics rs
are employed in house building as an evil
dence OF the benefits Of IL protective tariff,
and thereby hoist themselves by their own
Petard, for the labor Of the men to whom
they refer is not protected in the slightest
degree by the existing tariff: In fact no
Kind Of labor is protected by tariff, and it is
only the kind employed in factories and
mines that people acquainted with the sub
Ject assert is so protectcd; and that even
that assertion is incorrect is proved by the
fact that the price of such labor in Eng
land has advanced under the operation of
free trade in that country.
