DEATH OF AN OLD AND P0PU-
LAR EDITOR.

III. n. Gallaher, Esq, senior edi-
tor of the Charlestown Free Press,
after an illness Of over one year died
at his residence in Charlestown, on
Saturday, Nov. 3rd, 1883. He was
born in this town, Jan. 10th, 1908,
and was aged rs years, 9months and
IS days at the time of his death.
He had been identified With The Free
Press for more than sixty.two years,
and was one Of the Oldest journalists
in point of service, IN the country.
As an editor. he was vigorous and
bold, yet always gentlemanly, in the
maintainance Of his opinions, and
was known for his strong devotion
to the friends Of his choice. lie was
man of warm and generous impul'
ses and as true as steel to his friends.
He always retained warm place
in his affections for the companions
of his youth and the place of his
birth. During the last years OF his
life he came to Martinsburg at least
once year, and found great delight
in visiting old friends and the places
where, with them, the happy days OF
his youth fled by. More than once
on these occasions have we been
gratified and instructed by listening
to his recital of the time when Mar
tinsburg was but a village, and his
contrast OF it's growth and people,
with the people, their habits and the
smallness of the place in the years
long before, when he,a merry heart
ed boy, rambled over her bills and
ravines, and drank il the pure air
that swept down from the mountains
near by. But his labors have ended.
About year before his death he
joined the M. e. Church, South, and
waited with patience the coming of
the summons. 1t came. He has
crossed ''over the river" and is at
rest. May we meet him on that
other shore.

MALONE AND BUTLER.

Malone, of Virginia was showed
under, in the elections of last Tues
day, and Butler, of Massachusetts,
encountered something of cyclone
also. The defeat of these two men,
in their respective States, has given
more general satisfaction to men of
all parties than any political event
of recent date. One represented the
Democratic party and the other the
Republican party, although neither
was fully identified with or consid-
cred a member of the party to which
they claimed to belong.
Both of these men had acquired
national reputations-or rather ma
tional notoriety. Both have their
peculiar methods in politics both
are demagogues, and both unScrup-
ulous in the carrying out of their
methods. Neither have any fixed
principles, and each have bent their
energies to the accomplishment of
the one purpose-self'aggrandize-
ment and elevation to place and
power-regardless of the effect upon
the best interests of their respective
States or their nation.
The ambitions and purposes of
these two men are almost identical.
Their methods of carrying them out
are almost similar. Butler is man
of decidedly more brains than Ma.
hone, yet Malone has decided ad-
vantage in his powers of leadership
and organization. He understands
human nature, and is a holder man
than Butler. Malone has followed
the plans and patterned after Cata-
line, the Roman conspirator. When
he conceived the idea of overthrow
ing the reigning leaders in Virginia,
and getting power into his own
hands he sought out the brightest
young men in the State and made
them his allies. These young men
were brilliant and ambitious, but be-
ing poor, and not in the line of easy
promotion, readily essented to Ma
homes plans, and became his most
trusted lieutenants. So with Cata'
line. But it took several campaigns
for these young men to discover
that their promotion was entirely
subseryient to the whims OF Ma
hone. Instead of leader in whom
they had confidence, he developed
into dictator. He quarreled with

From the Winchester Times:

The apple crop of Frederick and
Shenandoah this fall is immense,
particularly in Shenandoah. Thous-
ands of barrels have been shipped
North weekly. There has been such
a scarcity of barrels that in many
instances shippers were forced to
load the cars in bulk. The quality
of the fruit is fine, and the orchards
are proving great source of revenue
to our farmers. We have several
local buyers, in addition to Balti-
more men who have purchased large
quantities of this splendid fruit in
this county, and we will later on, as
the shipping season approaches a
close, give some statistics of the
number of barrels shipped from this
point and other depots in Fred
erick.

a WASHINGTON correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer has been
writing of the financial standing of
the Southern senators, and shows
them TO be pretty well fixed !"
With incomes ranging from Sc, 900 a
year, ind 3ndent of salaray, to a
wealth OF millions, the truth Of the
assertion that poor men are not Of
ten elected to high office is strongly
illustrated. OF the West Virginia
Senators the writer says:
"Camden, of West Virginia, is
very rich. He is rated as twice a
millionaire, with "A fortune which is
fast increasing
Kenna, the junior Senator of West
Virginia, has no fortune TO speak Of
except youth, health and courage"

Frederick County, VA
from the Winchester -News:

from inc v IHtHebItT -Ne1t5:
Rev. Mr.. Shinn, Universalist
preacher held forth to a numerous
congregation in the Court House
Hall last Sunday night. We believe
that it was the first sermon of the
kind ever delivered in Winchester
A number of gypsies have been
encamped on the Wildwood road for
week past. Quite a romance is con-
nected with them as one OF the
young ladies Of the camp was carried
off, with her consent, by one of our
young men, and conveyed to her
lover who had followed her to Win

mURDER- rT sHoULD sToP.

The enlightenment Of the age, our
b3asted civilization and Christianity,
the zeal of home and foreign mission
aries, the spirit that nnderlies free
government, the feeling that should
animate every lover Of his country
should unite protesting and denounc-
ing sucn miserable proceedings as riots
over eleciions--the wanton, useless and
causeless numbering OF citizens OF any
color for such nonsense. The questions
upon which american citizens usually
differ are mostly matters Of expediency
and not Of such nature as to require
one man to seek another's life. The last
gasp of those lives, at the muzzle OF guns
and reyolyefs at Danyille, Virginia,
was not necessary that Virginia's gov
eminent be maintained, the Federal
union be preserved and the laws OF the
land enforced. What booted it whether
Re-adjusters or Funders be elected =
those elected must follow the law or
suffer its penalties, as administered by
the courts of the land. ltwas lawless
proceeding in plain violation of God
injunction, the christian creed and
mans statutes--th thou shalt not kill. 1t
was useless butehery, and whichever
side be wrong or right, needless sac
ritice.

CONTEMPLATING BUTLER.
From an exchange we clip the fol-
lowing terse congratulations of bold
Ben Butler
speare.


speare:
''Tis something, nothing;
Twas mine It's his"
"If such one is fit to govern; speak;
am as have spoken "
One year ago, when General Benz amiu
Franklin Butler was elected Gov ernor Of
Massachusetts, he addressed his constitu-
ents beginning with tbese words, "Be-
hold" 1.-THE stone which the builders re =
iected. the same is become the head of the
corner" This quotation used by the pi-
Gus Governor elect, occurs in st. Luke s
Gospel, chapter Xxx, verse II. In view of
the magnificent work done in the glori-
Gus old Commonwealth of Massachusetts
on sday last we beg leave to invite
General Benjamin Franklin Butler, Coz.
ernor Of Massachusetts, to read the eigh.
teenth verse OF the same chapter, which
to save bis time, we will quote
"Whosoever shall fall upon that stone
shall be broken bu on whomsoever it
shall fall, ii Vlll grind him to powder. "
