ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER II.

GEN. WICKHAM is demanding OF the dem
ocra.s in the Legislature recognition OF the
services rendered them and the State at the
late election by the straightout republicans.
IF the democrats are wise the demand will
be acceded to. No matter what the reason
NAV have been, The fact is that the straight
out republicans did render the democrats
valuable service last November in their sue
cessful effort to remove the State from the
hands of the rapacious gang who then con-
trolled her; and if service in any cause ever
was entitled to recognition, surely it was in
that which redeemed Virginia. The more
reputable republicans We'd with the demo-
Gratis in the work of beating down Malone
ism. and the success Of that work is partly
attributable to republican efforts, and those
efforts made, it must not be forgotten, IN
the face of the declaration Of republican
President that he meant TO throw 1.-THE whole
weight of the Administration" against them.
The straightouts made common cause with
the democrats in the war against the most
dangerous enemy Virginia ever had, and
they certainly deserve a share OF the honor
of the victory. To refuse them their share
would exhibit selfish, mean and avari-
cious spirit, by no means calculated to win
the support of effective allies in possible flu

EXECUTION OF O'DONNELL.

LONDON, Dec 17.-O'Donnell was hanged
at 8 02 O'Clock this morning. Despite bois-
ferrous and squally weather a considerable
crowd assembled at the prison. Among
them was O'Donnel's brother, who passed
to and fro opposite the flagstaff in most
restless and detected manner, exciting the
sympaty of all present. The hangman's ar.
engagements were perfect, and the execu-
ton occurred without hitch. O'Donnell
was calm and collected. He made no state
ment on the scatfold. O'Donnel was mott
fed at $50 a. N. to make ready. He ex.
pressed great sorrow for his outburst of
temper in the dock at the conclusion of his
trial, and seemed perfectly resigned. He
said he had felt the greatest animosity for
the witnesses who appeared against MIN,
but that had now disappeared. After commu-
Mon had been administed to the condemned
man Binns, the hangman, entered the cell.
O'Donnell submitted to the operation of pin
O'Donnell walked with great frmness to
the scatfold without the assistance Of the
wardens. The lever of the trap was pulled
precisely at O'Clock. The crowd in front
Of Newgate increased rapidly, and shortly

at least, but the throng observed quiet and
orderly demeanor. The Irish element was
not conspicuous in the gathering When
the black flag was hoisted announcing the
end of the tragedy, there was no demon
stration, although suppressed excitement
marked many faces. O'Donnel's brother
remained to the last, bitterly weeping, the
center of a sympathizing group.
During the final prenora tionc for tho axa
cution the brother of O'Donnell took up
place in q door way opposite the prison in
full view of the flag staff upon which his
eyes were riveted. When the black flag
was hoisted he moved his hat and remain
ed for sometime apparently praying. To
people who fingered around him he said in
a hoarse voice: MY poor brother, he has
died as bravely as man ever died." This
was received with cries of Eyes" He then
departed and the crowd dispersed.
The body hung for one hour when it was
cut down and removed for the proper legal
inquest.

WHEN TIlEdemocratsg got possession OF the
Senate they removed the secretary and the
chaplain Of that body for the good and suf-
ticicnt reason that those officers were active
partisans who awaited themselves Of the in
iinencc Of their official positions TO advance
their party's ends and to delay the restora-
ton Of such feelings between the people OF
the two sections of the Union rs should ex
ist between fellow citizens OF common
country The republican members Of the
Senate inveighed against their removal up
on the ground that they were competent
and efficient officers, and asserted that their
removal was for no other purpose than to
give hungry democrats their places. Five
year, have not elapsed, ard yet those same
republican senators determine TO remove
capable and efficient officers, who, from the
time they were elected to the present, have
taken no part in politics, and have devoted
themselves solely and entirely to the
faithful discharge of their official du-
ties and this, too, in the face of the
fact that during the interval those iden-
teal senators nave passed a civil service re.
form bill Indeed, it seems that the whole
republican party agrees with ex.commls-
siounr Raum, that u modern politician
cant afford to be consistent"

might burst with the discharge, he held at arms

as to crush the young mans skull badly. The ac-
cident occurred at about eleven o'clock on Thurs
day night, and the yonng man died Friday

Now THAT investigations have commenc-
ed, or are about commencing, with reference
to some Of the doings of the Mahoneites
during their control of the States affairs, it
is to be hoped that the whole matter of the
sale Of the States interest in the Norfolk
and Western Railroad, and also that of the
settlement with the Richmond aud Dsnvile
Railroad may be thoroughly investigated, so
that the reported crookedness in both those
transactions may be definitely refuted or
confirmed.

SENATOR II. w. BLAIR, of New Hamp-
shire .ex-attorney for the Peruvian Company,
aud sponsor for Gen. Malone before the re-
publican senatorial caucus, wants an amend
lnent to the Constitution TO prevent the
importation, manufacture, and sale of aco-
holc liquors within the limits of the coun-
try. The Senator, having no taste for liquor
himself, exhibits the characteristic of the
people OF his section by attempting to pre-
vent those who have that taste from crafty
ing it. Congress has no more business to be
lesi,a.iug about what people shall drink
than about what they shall eat or what
they shall wear. But New England would
be unhappy il not engaged in an attempt 10
force one of her numerous isms upon the
unwilling people of some other portion OF
the country.

4 resolution has been introduced in the
Legislature requesting the Board of Educa-
ton TO state the reasons which prompted
them TO change the hooks in the public
schools The prevailing impression is that
the change was made with no reference To
the Improvement Of the schools, but for
large contributions to the Malone fund by
the book publishers, and To allow certain
Mahoncitcs profitable places as book agents.
Whether his impression be correct or not
will he determined by the searching inves-
tiga,lou to which, it is hoped, the resolution
referred 10 is the prelude. Every well-in-
formed man in Virginia is convinced of the
rascality Of the Malone regime, but that
rascality should be made so plain that il
may inc apparent to the whole country.
