MAHoNE,s ADDRESS.
1t Is Regarded as a Pledge to Co-opperate
With the Republicans.
Especial to the Gazette.l

Especial TO the Gazette.1
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The address oi
Senator Mahone is commented on Ia some
quarters as indicating a pledge to CO
operate with the Republicans. 1t sets the
organization OF the Senate In the hands oi
the Republicans beyond any doubt.
A STRAIGHT OUT REPUBLICAN PRoNoUNcEs
TIA TISSUE OF FALsEHooDs.
Especial TO the Phila. Press.J
RICHMOND, Nov. 10.-The receipt of Ma
homes letter here, In which he charges
wholesale murder in Virginia, has created
the greatest excitement among the Demo
Gratis. It is believed by them to be a pre-
lude TO the plot of Malone and his board of
canvassers to count out sufficient number
of Democrats In the Senate to give HIM the
majority, and, fearing the result, he pro-
poses to have United States troops here to
aid him in his undertaking.
This address is pronounced a tissue of
faisehoods. General Wickham, straight on.
Republican, elected by the united votes OF
whites and blacks In Hanover over Jones,
Mahone's candidate, is out in card this
evening in reply. The State Board of Can
vassers meet sext Monday.
General Wickham's letter will appear in
the Richmond Dispatch tomorrow. Com
menting upon the address of Senator Ma
hone the General says that nothing short of
lunacy would Justify such an address, and
that the wholesale ISLANDERS which 1t con-
tains will doubtless be fully refuted by a
statement of figures and facts in the next
few days. The statement in the address
that the "crack of the Bourbon weapons en-
gagged In political murder resounded and
the Bourbon knife sank deep In the county
of Hanover" causes him, as the representa-
tive of those people In the Senate of Vir-
ginia, to announce the falsity of the charge.
The letter says that colored man, a
Coalitionist, had been murdered In Han
over, by colored Republicans; that the
Richmond Wing had to fairness to declare
that it was due to personal grudge, and
had no political significance whatever; that
William Malone ought to have know the
facts of the case, and asks, that if he did
not, by what principle OF justice did he
utter such slander against the law abiding
people of Hanover, without assuring him.

LocKPoRT, N. Y, Nov. 19.-Patrick
Kane, an old and respec ted citizen residing
on Adam street, East Lockport, was arrested
this morning on suspicion of having mur-
dered his vile while drunk last night. The
body of the woman, who was about 55 years
old, was found dead at o'clock this morn
ing on the floor of her sleeping room. Her
clothes and the carpet were covered with
blood. Her lower lip was cut and there
were small Commissions on her head
and face. Her husband, who first
discovered that she was dead, said
that they had been drinking whiskey
last night and she, having dyspep-
sia badly, had vomited blood great deal,
but there had been no quarrel or blows
struck, and when he awoke this morning he
found her dead on the floor. The police
found sharp stone In the yard with bloody
marks upon it, and Kane was placed in Gus.
tody. He has lived here 80 years and borne
good reputation. The post-mortem ex-
animation held to-day developed the fact
that the woman had not vomited blood, and
the doctors state also that there was no ap.
parent cause of her death in bruises found
but they are very reticent about the case
The Coroner's jury held a secret session to
night, excluding reporters. No witnesses
were sworn and the jury adjourned to Wed
