A Husband of the Period,

During the middle or latter part of 1881
one Munden, resident of Elizabeth City, n.
c., member Of the North Carolina Lcgis-
ture, and who, as alleged, was reported to be
held in rather bad favor throughout the sec
ton in which he lived, ran away with the
wife of J. A. Johnston. who had his home in
or near Elizabeth City The pair succeeded
in getting away with upward of $1,000 of
Johnstons property in cash and other val
uables. The affair made quite stir in tide
water North Carolina at the time of the oc-
currence, and was much talked Of II was
thought for long time that Munden
| and Mrs. Jhonston had fled to Texas and it
is still probable that they were in that State
some time after their sndden departure. 1t
seems that Johnston was good deal more
wrought up at the lass Of his money than at
the course Of his tathess wife. He had
himsefappointed by Governor Jarvis spec
ial agent for the State of North Carolina to
pursue and arrest the guilty parties and
bring them back to justice. Munden, it is
stated, was a married man but, as no eyi.
dence existed to sqow that he married Mrs.
Johnston, he was not amenab:c for bigamy
and theft, but only for the latter oilense
Slnnden and Mrs. Johnston, after quite
tour i'll the Southwest, settled in the interi-
or of Missouri There Mrs. Johnston wrote
to her sister in North Carolina, and, wheth-
er unintentionally or otherwise told enough
to enable the recipient Of the letter to pat
Special Agent Johnston on the track ofthe ru-
gitives. Johnston proceeded to Kansas City,
and before Munden knew that he was sought
he was told to get ready to go back and set
tie some matters in North Carolina that re-
CURED his presence, and Sunday Johnston
reached Norfolk from the West having Nun
den in custody. He was taken to Elizabeth
City, the scene of his former exploits, where
he will be dealt with according to law.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1882.

IT Is reported that Mr.. Dezendorf, who,
it should not be forgotten, is republican of
the strictest sect, and was one before and
during the war, says that General Malone
mistook his man when he attempted to
bulldoze him that he, Dezendorf, not only
can but will return with interest all the
blows he receives that the Generals course
toward him and all the other true republi-
cans in Virginia has produced a feeling of
resentment in men who avowed themselves
republicans when it required physical as
we'll as moral courage to do so; that having
entered upon the defence Of republcanism
against the attacks Of Mahonesm he has
enlisted for the war" and that in his dis
trct at least the General has an opponent
who watches his every movement, and OPP
poses him at every point These are not
Dir. Dezendorf's words, but they contain
the gist OF what he is reported TO have said.
Mr.. Woodfn, the republican candidate for
Congress in the 9TH district thinks and talks
upon the subject Of Mahoneism just rs Mr..
DeZendorf is reported to do. 1t is not at all
surprising that consistent and long. standing
republicans should oppose General Malone
as nothing less will satisfy him than their
support of man who is on record rs saying.
less than two years ago, that 'Nirgnia re-
publicans We're not republicans from princi-
ple'but as a matter of trade land barter that
they were men without character and inu-
ence, who would starve without Office, and
who brought the party to which they be-
longed into dsreputc and turned respecta-
BILE men away from it."
