He Discusses the Late Election and the
Coming Legislature.

The Washington Post yesterday pub
lished an interview with Colonel OFFER
rail-, and credits him with saying:
"Our plurality already reaches 1900"
he said, with twelve or fifteen counties
TO hear from, so that my friends have
long ceased TO send figures with their
congratulations" lie had nothing UNI
kind 10 say about his opponents, but he
thought that the State had repldiated
Populisuc heresies and rebuked the gem
tlemen from Colorado and Nebraska. who
had come down 10 teach the people
politics. There had been some uncertain
~ in his mind before the election about
the size of his majority. because il was
so difficult to prophesy which way GER
tain classes of the voters would turn.
They had shown their loyalty TO the
Democratic party, however. He thought
at first that 10000 would be a good plu-
rality. but now his friends were asking
him why he had not made II $1,000. AS
The Post has recently stated. the Old
Dominion seemed 10 be the oasis in the
general upheaval. I'VE have had a great
victory" he said, "and it is very far
reaching as far as Virginia and the
South are concerned" AS to the policy
of his administration as Governor, Colo
mel O'Ferrall said there would be no
radical changes but everything would be
run on about the same lines as hereto
fore. There would be but ten Populists
I'm the House of Delegates and two in
the Senate. so that the Democrats would
have entirely their own way. The Leg
islature would meet in December, month
before his Inauguration, and ne under
stood that Governor Mckinney was al
ready engaged on his message, which
would offer several suggestions. The
two bodies would be concerned chiefly
this winter with the election Of United
States senators 10 dll the uneXpired term
of the late Senator Barbour. the full
term of his colleague, Senator Daniel, and
with the election Of other important
State officers Among these there are 10
be- elected five Supreme Court judges as
well as all the Circuit Court judges,
secretary and treasurer Of the Common
wealth. a superintendent OF public in
structi0n, and a railway commissioner.
AS for the Supreme Court judges, there
would be a clean sweep and no re-eJec-
t0us. All were appointed some twelve
wears ago by the Malone regime. and
although some OF them had been voting
the Democratic ticket. they were not the
kind of Democrats that were wanted.
Judge Lewis had been very efficient in
the performance of his duties, but he
would have no chance al reelection.
Some Of the Circuit Court Judges might
be reappointed.
The Legislature, he added, would pro-
bablv be requested 10 take some action
about the settlen ent Of the oyster dis
putes and also about the depreciation or
the waters and the fisheries Of the state.
The debt Of the State was settled. but
there might be some legislation on the
refunding Of the two and one-half mil
lion Of outstanding bonds, which were !
held for the most part, he believed. by |
English capitalists All IN all, Colonel |
thought that the outlook FOR |
the party in Virginia was very Drisht'

A Reasonable DELAY Deemed Necessary LOT
an unpreIndleed Trial

During a recent conversation as 10 ths

Governor Mckinney took the GROUND 'i4a'
a reasonable delay was necessary III "i :

10 the following case:
In December. 1859. two young white men,
Thomas Cooper and Robert Akers, were
arrested in Montgomery county cnai
with the assault OF two young While "o-
men. Indignation against then WaS 80
great that the Governor had TO order out
the military 10 protect the men itom inOo
violence.
TIN. men were speedily tried" and, ac-
cording 10 the subsequent statement or the
commemorative attorney pubic sehu-
roent called for the extreme penalty Of
the law. Without legal grounds for con-
tinuance, he adds, the men were FORCED
TO trial in time Of excitement and pre-
iudlce. and hence their conviction. Ihey
were sentenced TO twenty years in the
penitentiary and in due time were impH-
soned.
In March last the Governor received
papers from the judge ana Common
wealth's attorney OF Montgomery county
stating that since the trial 1t had been
ascertained that the WoHrh' D3 MHoac
testimony the men had been convicted,
were OF bad character, and that one OF
the women alleged 20 have been assaultei
had since confessed on the witness stand
that Akers and Cooper were not guilty
OF the charge.
Under these circumstances, the judge,
Commonweaith's attorney and other citi-
zens petitioned for the pardon Of Akers
and Cooper. who were subsequently re-
leased from the penitentiary in March
last after having been improperly depriy-
ed OF their liberty for more than three
