FROM WASHINGTON

Especial Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON. ID. c., January 10. 1881
A leading readjuster from the Valley of
Virginia here to-day says that General Ma
hone assumes to be greater autocrat than
the Car of Russia, that he wants every
thing his own way, and will brook no inter-
ference with the accomplishment of his de.
signs, and that unless the party deposes him
from his supremacy it is bound to 90 to
pieces. This gentleman says the party
must be perpctuated, but that that can not
be done as long as it allows Malone to be
its king.
1t is understood that the chances of Mr..
Paul's retaining his seat are diminishing
daily, and that consequently his efforts are
increasing to secure thejudgeship for the

but he is not one of the Generals favorites.
Lieut. Gov. Lewis, of Virginia, who was
here for day or two left Yesterday
has had several conversations with Mr.. Paul
and other Mahoneites and republicans in
the city. He is no better disposed towards
Malone than formerly, and thinks that as
the republicans supplied the latter with all
bis strength, they and not he should rum
the alliance. The feeling between him and
General Malone has not been sweetened on
the part of the latter by the recent decision
of Mr.. Lewis's brother, Judge Lewis, in the
Burks-Hinton case, and one who knows the
General well says he would have the Judge
impeached if he could by the next Legisla-
tnfe.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1883.

JUDGE LEWIS reviewed the Constitution
ence in it to the length of the terms of the
judges of the Court of Appeals was that
those judges should be elected for twelve
years. He knew that under the former
on the bench occurred the judge who was
elected to fill it was elected for full term,
and his common sense and natural ideas of
proprety taught him to believe that as
courts should be removed as far as possible
from politics, it was never intended that an
entire court should be elected every twelve
years by the party then in power, and of
course all belonging to that party, butt on
the contrary, that the vacancies as they oc-
Cured should be filed for whole term, so
that the court, like the Senate, could be a
continuing body and that in course of time
hardly more than one judge ever be elected
at one session of the Legislature. With
such knowledge and belief-and how any
one else can know and believe otherwise
is hard TO tell--he dissented from the
opinion recently rendered by the other
members of the court over which he pre-
sides, and thus showed that the partisan
legislature which elected him under the
idea that he was partisan reckoned with
out its host, and instead of getting a judge
who would do the bidding of its boss got
one who renders his decision according to
the plain reading Of the law. The inter-
probation of The law by the other judges
was strained, to say the least. They may
have been conscientious in their opinion: but
it is unfortunate for them that they did not
avail themselves of the grand opportunity
they had Of convincing all the intelligent
and fair-minded people Of the State, ire
spectiye Of political utilization, that though
elected by partisans for partisan purposes, rs
judges Of the highest court in Virginia,
partisanism was eliminated from the factors
that determine their decisions.
