General Lee on the Eastern Shore.

General Fiz. Lee visited Chincoteague
Island Tuesday, and spoke there that night
to an immense audience, composed of nearly
all the residents on the island. His speech
aroused the greatest enthusiasm among the
islanders, who will give him large majority

lighthouse, on the Atlantic coast, and catch
ing some fine salt water trout, General Lee
returned to the mainland and went to Belle
Haven, on the border of Accomac and
Northampton, where he addressed a crowd
of more than five hundred people, among
whom were many ladies. General Lee ap-
peared at his best and made a superb speech.
The meeting closed with three rousing
cheers for General Lee as the next Gov
ernor of Virginia. After speaking at East.
vile TO. day General Lee will leave the
Eastern Shore for the Valley. His visit has
been continuous ovation, and the demo-
Gratis are aroused and confident of success.

LETTER FROM ORKNEY.

Correspondence of the Alexandria GAzErrE.l
ORKNEY SPRINGS, Va, Sept. Last
Wednesday night was a gala night at Ork-
ney, or one of many gala nights at this SO
charming place; it being the occasion of the
grand dress ball given by the indefatigable
Col. Maddux to his guests.
The spacious ball room was tastefully de-
corated, and as the superb strains of Prof.
Williams band hoated on the air, the grand
march began and was vertically grand
sight. The beautiful girls, the handsome
women and the magnificent toilets, fit sett-
ings to the fair faces, the attendant cava-
Tiers, the lights, flowers and flashing jewels,
formed kaleidoscope picture of beauty. At
II o'clock the supper room was thrown open
and here "Cab" was at his happiest. "a
feast for the God's'-a trite, but in this
connection true quotation-every thing to
satisfy the inner man and please the eye,
for each table in the handsome dining room
was thing of beauty, and '.joy forever"
to remember. Salads, cold meats, crabs,
ices, champagne, etc, was but portion of the
delicious menu; but every body knows
Orkney and how immense" mine host is
in the gastrono1nic, as in all other virtues
Dancing was renewed after supper and
continued till a. M, and then good nights
were most reluctantly said. So ended one
of the most brilliant and enjoyable affairs
at these far famed springs. Next morning
a "lovely," las the girls say German was
given-thirty couples led by that king of
leaders, DR.. Day, of Warrenton, formed
charming sequel to the previous night.
when the leaves begin to turn" Orkney
is at its best, and 'they hirt they hirt, they
firt, and that's what they do at the springs" is
changed some what, to the moro profitable enjoy
ment Of the beauties of nature, and no where has
nature been moro lavish with her gifts than
around this favored spot. Though the season
is SO far advanced the crowd still fingers, and
numbers are booked for all September. During
the summer tine hotel and cottages have been
crowded to their utmost capacity. Another sea-
son will render new buildings necessary. COL
Maddux understands thoroughly the "true in
wardness'' of running hotel, and with his eff
cient and courteous chief clerk Mr.. M. w. Lam
bert, and other able assistants together with the
famous "Bear Wallow," form combination that
bids fair to make this the most popular resort in
the State. All leave Orkney with regret, and all,
if possible, return.

Killed by q Sheriff.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 3.-The Globe Demo.
crat prints the story Of an affair in the little
town of kirkwood, twelve miles west of
here, on the Missouri Pacific railroad. 1t
appears that Mrs. Randell highly respect
ed lady of the place had sent trunk to the
blacksmith shop of F. w. Bauchel to have
key made for it. Early yesterday afternoon
the lady called for the trunk and while she
was at the shop Mr.. Bauchel, an unmarried
man of fifty years, endeavored TO impress
her with the idea that he was greatly smit-
ten with her. Mrs. Randell received these
advances coldly, whereupon Bauchel be-
came very angry and seizinga carbine which
was in the shop, fred at and shot the lady
in one of her lower limbs. Bauchel then
marched up and down the street with his
carbine and dirk knife and deGed arrest.
Sheriff Allen was sent for and when he ar
rived called upon Bauchel to surrender, but
that individual who was now in state of
high excitement refused and.opened fire on
the officer. The sheriff returned the fire
and shot Bauchel twice, once in the head
and once in the groin, infcting wounds
from the effects of which he died. Mrs.
Randell who has painful but not very seri-
Gus wound, was conveyed to her home.

LEE AND FoRAKER.-Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
the democratic nominee for Governor of
Virginia, made his opening speech Of the
campaign in the presence of the people as
sembled at Accomac Court House on Mon
day last. Judge Foraker, the republican
nominee for Governor Of Ohio, formally
opened the campaign at Portsmouth, in that
State, on Tuesday. The matter of the two
speeches was wholly different. That Of
Gen. Lee was manly plea for peace and
unity; that of Judge Foraker for sectionalsm
and disruption. Gen. Lee went to New
York, "where men from North and South
united" as he said, "to bury great man
and great soldier" and where, joining in
the funeral procession, he saw "the two
sections marching elbow to elbow and heart
to heart in peace and unity" Gen. Lee be-
lieved that if peace between the North and
South was not assured before, it was sealed
over the dead body OF Gen. Grant. Judge
Foraker, following the lead Of Senator Sher
man, insists that between the sections there
can be no peace. He hoists once more "the
bloody shirt" and cites long catalogue,
running through quarter of century, of
"outrages, fraud, violence, murder and assas.
sination by bull.whips and shotguns," and
he summons back to earth the ghosts of The
white leaguers and ku.klux clan to bear
witness that they perpetrated, on divers oc-
casions, and "by agencies Of the most dia-
boical character, horrible barbarities upon
colored and white republicans" 1t is the
old story revamped. 1t has done duty in
many republican campaigns already, and
for want of some other issue on which to
fha y,onr1a oF tbo Soptb no fol lis
back upon the WORKOUT theme of the
sufferings of the negro and the bar
barity of the Southern whites. OF
the terrible years of reconstruction, when
the South was under the armed heel of fed
eral soldiers and the carpet baggers ruled
and rioted, and by fraud, chicanery and
downright robbery grew rich on the plum
der Of the Southern people, Judge Foraker
says nothing. Everything that was then
done appears to be just and right in his
eyes, and his evident desire, like that of
Senator Sherman, would be, if it were still
possible, to parcel out the South into mill
tary satrapies and make the negroes COM
pacted into solid mass by unscrupulous
white republicans, the controlling power
in the Southern States. Ever since the
carpet baggers have been expelled those
States will compare favorably for peace
and order with the most law abiding
of the States of the North and West.
Where Gen. Lee finds peace and order, and
counsels union for the sake of the Union,
Judge Foraker charges thesouth with every
crime in the decalogue, sees in every South
ern democrat rebel, and in every Southern
negro republican voter with his political
rights suppressed and his civil rights ignor-
ed. 1t is lurid picture, and there is only
one fault to be found with tit is not true.

JUDGED BY the expressions of some of the
Northern republican newspapers, thereon
incendiary utterances of Senator Sherman
are as unpalatable to the reputable men of
his own section and party as those OF Gen.
eral Mahones candidate for Governor, and
hisother jackmen are to the right thinking
republicans of Virginia. Both Senator sher-
man and his friend General Malone will
howl in vain for the continuance of sectional
hate, in view of the fact that Southern gen.
erals acted as pail bearers for General Grant,
and Southern troops as the escort of his re.
mains.

To the editor Of the alexandria Gazette:
l notice an article published in Wash.
ington paper, in which Mr. E. J. Birch il
mentioned as one of the applicants for the
position as postmaster at this place. This
is incorrect as he is mol an aspirant to the
position. Mr. Almond Birch who is
staunch democrat fled an application
for the position and was endorsed by Tn,
oldest, most substantial and unucu;ial
democrats within the delivery of the Office
but from some reason failed to get the ap
pointment. In his canvass for the place he
was careful not to obtain any names outside
the delivery of the post office and all who
signed his application were democratic "a
irons. The names of republicans were tot
solicited. AMITY.

It's PLAIN to be seen that General Malone
eutertains no high opinion of Governor
Cameron or of his political influence, when,
through his organ, he speaks of him in the
following ironical style:
Governor Cameron is the first Governor
Of this Commonwealth who has gone upon
our salt waters himself, in command of an
armed naval force, and maintained the dig.
nifty and rights of the State with regard to
this matter of the oysters of Virginia. The
outcome of the courageous course of Virgin
las first republican Governor remains yet
to be seem"
One OF the Generals characteristics is his
malignity. He will never forgive the Gov.
ernor for the expense and trouble to which
he put him to elect his jackman, ex.Collec.
tor Brady, to Congress last fall.

In AN ARTICLE entitled 1.-The Silent
South" in the September number OF the
Century magazine, Mr.. George W. Cable
adds weak support to the idea that there
could be mixed schools, mixed churches,
mixed hotels, restaurants, theatres, railroad
cars, summer resorts, and, indeed, equality
in every other conceivable respect save social
equality, and yet that all this could exist
without social equality. Healso makes the
utterly incorrect statement that the colored
vote in the North is not solid, and then
says that in order to dissolve the solid negro
vote in the South, 1.-The white vote there
should first divide though, unless the dol
lars he has gotten out of the North for TAX
ing its part against the people of his own
section have run him clean daft, he must
know that to do so would put every South
ern State in the hands of such scalawags as
General Malone, who says if the white vote
of Virginia would only divide he has his
solid negroes from whom he could get any
majority he might want.
