ton. Marshal Lam0n then narrates
this incident, quaint and touching
as it will be to Mr.. Fanlkner's pos
terity:
l well remember my last inter-
view with President Lincoln. 1t was
the day previous to his assassination.
He was sending me to Richmond,
which had then fallen, and was in
possession of our troops, on special
mission. In taking leave of him,
the last words he addressed to me
were, Now Lamos, be sure you
don't return from Richmond without
bringing Faulkner with you.'"
Mr.. Faulkner's shrewd o5serva-
ton aud judgment detected the
seeds of disorganizatlon and failure
as soon as he entered the Conteder-
acy, and he spent the greater part
of three years and a hall there in
scholastic retirement at the abode OF
his daughter, Mrs. Bocock, in APP
pomatox County. The official battle
reports of StoDewall jackson, which
have been admired on both sides OF
the Potomac, were the compositions
of Mr.. Faulkner, written out from
the rough notes of that celebrated
commander. OF these be wrote
twenty two, and all but the last were
revised and signed by General Jack
son. With this literary labor. which
shows his grasp of great movements
and faithfulness Of detail, his active
life IN the Confederacy began and
terminated.
1t has been said that the Southern
revolt produced many heroes, but
few who survived it with heroism.
Among these latter the subject OF
our sketch may be classed as proba-
bly, the most notable example in the
South. Reflective, studious, with a
cheerful temperament and flexible
faculties, yet blessed with a remark
able tenacity of purpose, he emerg-
ed from the war without selfaccusa-
ton, and proceeded to redeem his
affairs, resume the practice of his
profession, and give aid and conf
dence to his neighborhood.

THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.

The recount of the vote of the
State of New York is going on, but
so far there is no material change Of
the vote announced. 1t may take a
week to complete the recount, and
if any part of the vote is contested
it will then go into the Courts. The
Republicans ask nothing more than
fair vote and an honest count, and
il Cleveland has a majority of the
votes cast, they will be the last tC
raise any objections.
That there is room for doubt, the
very figures of the Democrats show
themselves. Cleveland's election is
claimed by pluralities in New York
ranging from 400 to 1000, and nc
two sets of figures are alike. His
election was taken for granted, and
every means were made use of to
create that impression over the
country. The recount has developed
various errors, tickets counted out
and tickets counted in, that if decid-
ed by legal investigation may change
the results. The Republicans count.
ed without their host, for a sharper
schemer than German of Maryland
it would be hard to find.
There is no other country under
the sun that could have safely en-
dured the political strain this cOun-
try is enduring.
Blaine made gallant fight and
carried States by majorities seldom
exceeded, but the political combina-
tions against him were overpowering.
He was the man for the people, but
not for the politicians, for the plain
reason that he was his own master,
and the superior of any of them.
His election would have Immediate
ly restored confidence to the bust
ness interests the country; but as it
is, the tendency is toward a general
stand-still, awaiting legislative de-
velopments. True, there is Repub-
lican Senate, a strong Republican
membership in the house, and a
number of the free traders not re-
turned, but it is the policy of the adj.
ministration that encourages or dis
courages the business world. Eng.
land is rejoicing that the day of heI
redemption has come-that long
looked for day. During all the years
of Republican victory there were nc
such threatening demonstrations
against law and order as witnessed
in the cities the past few days. In
Baltimore, roughs interfered will
the mails, insulted federal office hol
ders and killed an inotfensive color
ed man. AT Richmond the U. S
Tag was torn down and into shreds
and the lives of Republicans threat
ened and endangered. Talk abou
sectionalism now The Democrats
themselves admit that in the strug
gle for the spoils The South viii
come out ahead.
1t is only the prudence and jus
tice of the conservative and fair
minded element on both sides tina
can be relied upon to prevent ex
tremes and excuses in this height 0
political feeling. Men get excited
over politics and rave aud go on
who never derive one iota of benefi
from either party, and aside iron
their support at election times, ar,
left to look out for themselves.
politics alone will keep the variei
industries of the country going ant
afford a living for us all, then wei
and good hut if we have to live an,
labor together for cur common in
terests, the quicker we get down t,
it the better for all concerned.

Platform adopted by the Chicago Republi-

J. Kinds excelled himself as speaker, not
his indisposition, having
been sick for several days previous, and
unwell at the time Of speaking.
Great enthusiasm was demonrs ated at
the mentioning of the names of Blaine and
Logan, our gallant standard bearers, whose
portraits could be seen in the rear of tho
platform.

Each prisoner, when asked by the
Judge if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced
upon him, protested their innocence,

ter layout had lied"

THE CRIME.
The crime for which the men were
sentenced was one of the most afro
cious ever committed in this section.
Henry Porter came to Sand Noun
tain with his family for his health
from New England two years ago;
be built handsome residence, had q
superb library and his home was fur
nished in splendid style. On the
night of March 25, 1888, this band
of outlaws hearing there was a sum
of money in the building. entered
forcibly and pinioned the old man
and all the inmates and attempted
to extort a confession where the
money was concealed. The old man
refused 20 reveal it's hiding place.
The rufians then set fire to the build
ing in their rage, and left the family
to burn alive. They barely manag-
ed to crowd out, but all they had on
earth was in ruins, and the old man
soon died from exposure, and the
ha, py home was destroyed. After a
long search, in which Captain Glover
was conspicuous, the dastardly dev.
lis were captured, and are soon tc
reap their just reward for their he
inous crime.
There are ten other prisoners in
Jail here charged with capital crimes
Eight with murder and two with
rape. Our people are determined tt
put an end to the reign of lawlessnes
and some dozen hangings are prob
able. Court will hold special tern
in July to try the murderers. Chat
