ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20:

THE MAHoNEITEs, before the recent eiec'
ton. were continually babbling ABOUT the
kindness entertained by the b'alnei'es u
the North for the South, and of the thorough
and complete restoration of amlcaole rela,
tions between the two sections that "oulo
be effected by the election OF their canoi'
date. and of the great material dement's
Virginia would share with the rest OF the
Southern States as the natural result OF tne
obliteration of sectionalism incident to the
election of Mr.. Blaine, and of the desire the
Blaineites would have, when in power, 10
manifest to the people Of the Southern States
the feelings that should subsist between
fellow citizens of a common country. NO
body at all familiar with the real feelings
of Mr.. Blaine and his supporters for the
South believed one single word of all this
twaddle, and the few intelligent people who
did, now see by Mr.. Blaine's last speech
and the applause it received from Its near
ers, how grossly they were deceived.

The entire work has been completed under
the direction of the two commissioners
Col. w. J. Aydelotte, of Maryland, and Mr.

The SENATE The securing Of tho Illinois
Legislature by the democrats, and the consequent
election of democrat to succeed Genera! Logan
in the Senate, will cause the Senate. after the ltl
of March, to stand as it does now-:}S republicans
36 democrats and Malone and HI dicjrfgnr
Malone and Riddlrbcrgcr, If SO disposed, woa'i
and thus give the casting vote to Fce-Pre'Idcht
Hendricks. But Malone has burned his bridge.
and there is no prospects OF his acting with IL"
democrats, and probably not much more prosp""'
of Rddleberger going over to them. The rtpnh.
licaps may therefore with good reason calcuia"
upor working majority in the Senate for rs"
years to come.

AMONG THE benefits 10 the democratic
party of Virginia secured by the election Of
President Cleveland is tho discovery, and
therefore the correct estimation, OF the real
character of such men as SIR. Berkeley and
the other members Of the party who left it
because they vainly supposed Blaine would
be elected. There were several of them in
all the counties Of the State. all Of whom
are known, and each of whom will be re-
membeled. The democratic party is well
rid of them, and the republican party will
not be benefited by their adherence.

WILL OF THE LATE G. J. FAULKNER
The Photographic will Of the late Hon. Char
les James Faulkner has been admitted to
record in the county court clerks Office at
Mar,insburg, w. Va. 1t opens as follows
"In the execution of so solemn an act as a
last will and testament which is destined to
speak when the dust has returned 70 It's
kindred dust and the spirit has assembled to
the God who made it, it seems emlnently
proper that should announce my convc-
lions on certain fundamental doctrines of
religious faith 81 may say then, that be-
lieve in the existence of one great, all power
full and all merciful God, who is the source
of all created matter, In the divine nature
of Jesus Christ on earth, in the Immortality
of the SOUL in the suffering and death OF
Christ as an atonement for sinners and in
his power and willingness to save from per-
dition all who have faith in His divine ma
ture, aud who act in conformity to his holy
teach :ngs."
The estate is varously estimated to be
worth from 5000, 900 to $3.50 900. The widow
remains in possession of "Boydville,' and
receives bonds of various kinds, amounting
to 100000. "Boydville" is entailed, so as
to pass to one Of the sons Of Hon. c. j.
Faulkner Judge of the Circuit Court OF
that judicial district, the Judge being at
liberty to designate which son shall be the
heir. The only public bequest is that which
bestows upon the town OF Martinsburg the
valuable library of law and miscellaneous
works, comprising hundreds of volumes,
many of them rare and some which have
no duplicate 10 this country. The town
authorities are required to build suitable
repository for the library within the period
of three years. To aid in this work the
will sets apart the sum of 81 900 In case
the town fails to avail itself of this oppor-
tunity, the law portion of the books is to be
divided between the sons of the testator,
Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner and Judge c. j.
Faulkner. Certain historical books and
papers will go to the State Historical So
ciety

GEN. MALONE denoupces the democratic
members of the Legislature for repeating
his election law and enactiug one to suit
themselves, for the reason that such action
is partisan. Surely his assurance is un-
bounded. Why when he owned the
Legislature he did not hesitate to avow
openly that its action was and should tie
partisan, and nothing else; and all his re-
quirements for judgeship were that the
applicant should be his partisan, and once in
his life should have opened law book.

FATAL EPIDEM1c.-A tale of deep dis
tress comes from Buchanan, Wise aud
Dickinson countless on the extreme western
limit of the State. For number of weeks
a fatal disease has been prevalent there, and
many deaths have occurred. The nature OF
the disease ia as yet underlined, but it is be-
Aeved to arise from poisonous water. A
drought that has continued there for mouths
has nearly dried up all the streams, springs,
and wells, and it is supposed that the water
left is impregns,ed with mineral pcisons.
A correspondent writing from there tells
pitiful story, aud says that In some cases as
many as four corpses we're found In single
house.

AS PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is on record
as one term President, he will naturally
devote that term 10 the interests of his
country rather than to schemes aud prof.
ects intended to secure lis reelection.
But it is no less natural that such a course,
of all he could pursue, would be the most
likely to induce the people to force him to
accept second term.
