FALLS CdOhIhB De- eono SoSH'
To the Editor of the alexandria Gazette:
Dear sir-I am resident of this rather
pretty New England village, located here by
employees of Uncle Sans Government, and
which learn az "new conner" has been
founded, built and established, inside OF
seventeen years We have here eight
churches representing the same number OF
denominations, six devoted to the white
population and two to the colored, not count
Ing the chapel of St. James, where Catho-
lies worship, and which is located on the
old Sewell estate which l am Informed by
Mrs. Sewell (now almost a centeparian) was
called by General Washington the garden
spos of Virginia. Now, as q citizen of the
world, / have rather unlimited views on the
fraterna! brotherhood of man; his equality
In the race for existence, &C., &c, but when
the same rights are denied me OF course
feel disposed to, in the vulgar parlance OF
the period, "kick." When l place the mat
ter am driving at in the proper light you
will, am certain, as fair minded journal
ist see the justce of my statement. NOW,
the main support of this village is produced
not by agriculture, but by the salaries OF
some twenty gentlemen who receive sums
VARYING from $1,000 year up to S2,00O.
These men have built here pretty villas Tor
their families at great expense and boast,
az one of the most desirable of living advan-
tages here, good health. The town is
strictly temperance one, 30 much so that
local law exists which entails fine OF 500
on the seller of any Intoxicating drink. Yet
with all these precautions, it is no very un-
common thing to hear pistols fired at mid.
night by some of those gentlemen OF the COL
ored persuasion, who tell the people
the next morning that the newly
appointed postmaster here made them feel
good over his expected appointment. Now
we can stand even the buildozing of local
postmaster, but then when it comes to the
darkies boycottiug the families Of the gov
eminent officials here, we think it high time
to ask the Hon. John Wanamaker to send
us down few of his Bohemian and Russian
work people whom he employed tn work
for his mammoth clothing house in Quaker
town. I am led to make this statement
through the columns of the GAZETTE, as we
have no local newspaper here, all the gossip
being done by the Inhabitants at the vari-
GUS religious meetings. although the COM
munity may be considered an intelligent
one. So pity me, good editor, pity me. l
have, after sill my many peregriDations over
two continents, struck veritable hornets
nest on the borders of fair Virginis. There
are some short haired women here who can
don the pants when boycotted by boss post
masters and their wards of the nation, the
18th amendment additions to the glorious
constitution. b.
