FROM WASHINGTON.

fCorresponoence Of the Alexandria Gazette. |
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.
LUCKY in Pennsylvania; unlucky in
Virginia. Did you know, said an en-
thusiastic follower of Genl Malone to
the GAzRTrE's correspondent to-day,
that one man IS q Dig winner in the re
cent great victory of Senator Quay in
the republican convention at Harris
burg? Why, be exclaimed, this mag
ni6cent triumph of the great Keystone
Boss may go q long way towards re-
trieving the fallen fortunes of our
brave, but unlucky little corporal.
Quay has been Mahone's steadfast
friend and it is possible he may be able
to be Of service to him in the near fn-
tnre. If he can, he assuredly ought to,
anddoubtless will. Continuing, he said,
do you know that nothing but disaster
on disaster has heretofore attended
their cooperation and efforts, and that
they have been whipped on every field
OF political strife they have aver fought
on. L make no comment now, he said,
on the persistent and vigorous contest
conducted by Senator Quay for the sale
ofthe Malone lot" as it is commonly
called, for the proposed new printing
establishment Of the government. THAI
is foreign to my mind. But think of
the strange and peculiar fact that in
the broad field of national Presidential
politics they have never shared a ain
gle joy together, nor tasted anything
but the bitter waters of disappointment
and defeat. Quay, as you know, who
is a comparatively young man, has
only appeared as a controlling factor In
two national conventions. In each one
he was publicly and numerically fog
ged with Malone at his side. AS Com
mander, sole and supreme, of the Sher.
man forces at Chicago with a solid
Pennsylvania, 9 solid Ohio, and q solid
South, as he calculated it, at
his back, he was outwitted, and
out generated at every point until the
splendid following OF John Sherman
was compelled to give way to the lean
minority with which Benjamin Harri.
son started out to do battle for the
Presidency. Quay was not the equal Of

COL. MosBY,s DENIAL.

Colonel John S. Mosby, the famous
Confederate raider, sends the Richmond
Times the following copy of q correction
of an article which appeared in the
Confederate Vsteran, of Nashville
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81, 1895.
Editor of the Confederate Veteran, Nash
Vile, Tenn:
1 noticed in the Confederate Veteran
of July last a picture of myself in q
group of my men to which an explana-
tory statement is appended which says
! that the photo was taken in Richmond
in 1865, and that these men elected to
stay with me until death, when they
found that he (Mosby) and two of his
scouts, Charles McDonough and Nick
Carter, were not included in the terms
of surrender" 1t further says that
"Mosby vas pardoned not long after
ward through the recommendation OF
General Grant and was ever afterward
his Jealous friend" The statement
contains many inaccuracies
/. Instead of having been taken in
1865 the photo was made in 1867. So
far from all of those in tie group hay
ing elected to remain with M at the
surrender, several of them were at that
time prisoners in the north.
9. Nick Carter and Charles Melon.
ough did not belong to my command;
they were outlaws OF the Jessie James
order, and perpetrated several murders
In Fauquier alter the surrender. Nc
Donough was killed by some northern
cavalry; Nick Carter escaped to Mex
leo.
8. 1 never applied for a pardon, and
never before heard that 1 had been
granted one. I am not conscious Of
ever having done anything for which /
ought to have sought q pardon.
4. On the day that the news arrived
at Washington Of General Lees sur
render, Stanton, secretary of war, Or
dered General Hancock, then in COM
mand 10 the Shenandoah Valley, to of
fer to all other Confederate soldiers and
detachments in Virginia the same terms
that were given to Gen. Lee, but ex-
cepted "the guerilla chief Mosby."
The next day General Grant directed
Hancock to offer me the same parole he
had given to Gen. Lee.
. s.. I was a warm personal friend of
General Grant, and he YVES mine. 1
did not, however, become his political
supporter until 1872, after the southern
people had adopted Horace Greeley as
their candidate for the presidency, on a
platform endorsing all the radical re-
construction measures, and declaring
their gratitude to the union soldiers and
sailors for whipping US. 1 think you
will agree with me that it would have
been far better for the southern people
if they had followed my example.
Very respectfully,
JOHN S. MosBY.
