General Lees Last Order.

General Porter is well-known TO
the public as a successful lawyer and
Il great story teller, says the New
York Herald. Colonel Marshall is
said to be the ablest lawyer of Mary
land, and, although busy man, has
a great deal more than he can attend
to; but that does not keep him from
rlvaling General Porter as teller of
admirable stories. One of his best,
however, is something that happened
lust previous to the surrender of the
Confederate army. General Lee,
with Colonel Marshall, had ridden
down the lines, and was returning.
AS they did so they passed the head
quarters of General Henry A. Wise,
whose impetuosity is well remem-
bered.
The only water in the neighbor-
hood was the yellow mixture of Vir-
ginia clay In this General Wise had
washed. There were no towels, and,
to use the expression of Colonel
Marshall, the yellow mud drying
upon his face made him look like the
most genuine descendant of Poca-
hontas Virginia ever knew. Rushing
forward to General Lee, General
Wise. with his decorated face, ex-
40 'Ge11eral Lee, L understand, SIR,
that you are about to enter into
negotiations for the surrender of the
army?n
General Lee replied calmly that it
was true. Instantly General Wise's
arms stretched toward high heaven,
and he asked, in tragic tones:
Then, sir, what in the name Of
God is going to become OF me?"
There was a suggestion of a smile
in Lees countenance as he replied,
in a tone of command, General
Wise, go wash your face

Tho Question of POlYgamy.

WASHINGTON, June IAN in
teresting question has arisen in the
Treasury Department, which in.
wolves the legal meaning of the word
polygamist. Commissioner-General
Stump. of the immigration Bureau,
has received applications for the
admission into this country of Robert
Stevenson, his wife, Kate, Barbara
Hunter, Lizzie Naylor and seven
children. These immigrants recently
arrived at Quebec, Canada, from
Glasgow, Scotland and in their
affidavits state that they are Mormons
in religion and full believers in
polygamy, and that each intends to
practice polygamy, if SO inclined, on
reaching their destination, Salt
Lake City. The question in
volved is whether belief in poly
gamy of itself, and in the
absence of proof of any polygamous
act, brings the party within the in
hibition OF the law, declaring that
polygamists shall not be admitted
into this country. Acting Secretary
Wike has the subject under consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Stump is of opinion
that the parties should be debarred
admission.

VIEWS OF NEW CONGREssMEN.
Gold Standard Men Scarce, the Major.
itY Being for Silver.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The World
to day publishes q Geographic poll
of the next Congress, as far as OBJ
tainable, upon the silver. tariff and
income tax questions. The World
sums up the results as follows:
In a general way it may be said
that out of 116 members who gave
unequivocal answers to the silver
questions, fifty five are unq ualifiedly
in favor of free coinage, forty-four
favor bimetallism generally, with the
proviso of an international agree
ment. Only seventeen can fairly be
classed as favoring single gold
standard, and the attitude of some OF
these even is not definite. The South
and far Western States are almost
unanimous for free coinage, the Cen
trail States lean toward silver, with
international blmetallic qualifica-
tions, and it is only in New York
New England and adjacent Eastern
States that there are any avowedly
gold standard men.
In regard to the tariff, only TWEEN
ty. eight members are against all
change, while thirty-fve favor mod
crate changes, and thirty-eight are
pronounced for radical changes. A
few are free traders. The moderates
are chiefly those who think changes
will be necessary in order to increase
revenues.
The income tax question brought
out many sharp and piquant answers.
Forty-Eine Congressman say they
favor the principle of the tax. Forty.
seven oppose it. A great many evad.
ed the question or failed to answer
it.
A few details by States will be III
teresting. Alabama, Arkansas, Cali.
fornia, Colorado, Florida, Idaho
Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North
Carolina. South Carolina, South Da
kota, Virginia, Washington anC
Wyoming are solid for silver, so fal
as heard from. The bimetallists are
chiefly in Delaware, Georgia, Illinois
Indiana. Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana
Michigan, Minnesota. Missouri, Ne
braska, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Yves
Virginia.
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts
and Vermont have the gold advo
Gates. Alabama, Arkansas, TexeS
the Carolinas, Georgia, Louisiana
and most of the other Southern
States are solid for the income tax
New York and the East generally op
pose it. Elsewhere the division ii
nearly even.

The searching weather from which
we have been suffering Of late, is a
little ahead of any in this respect
ever known so early in the season to
the Oldest inhabitant, and not far
behind, if the length of the spell is
taken into consideration, with that
of any portion of the summer. The
same intense heat is reported from all
sections of the country, and together
with it prostrations innumerable,
many of which have resulted fatally.
That our people have been able to
pass through trying ordeals like the
present in safety when so many fatal
tiles are reported elsewhere, while
due to some extent it may be to free
dom from exposure, wholesome diet,
etc, may be better attributed, per-
haps, to the general healthfulness of
our county as place of abode.

1.-THE members of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' Association
cheered heartily the sentiment ex-
pressed by Capt. J. H. Martin, of
Memphis, in speech before the
Convention in Atlanta, last Satur
day, that President Cleveland should
be elected for life at a salary OF
100000 year" and thereby put
themselves upon record as the great
est body of cranks in the country.
The time can never come in the his
tory OF this nation when any man of
average intelligence can hope for the
elevation of anyone to the Presiden-
tial office for more than TWO terms,
who is patriot enough to desire the
perpetuity of our Republican form of
Government. Mr.. Cleveland of
course can never be elected President
again and the members of the Gro
GERS Association, who gave express
sion to different sentiment, know
ing it as they did, were guilty of a
little toadyism disgusting beyond
measure.

Crime in Virginia.

The people of Virginia indulge in
the luxury of crime at as great a cost
as perhaps, population considered,
any community in the world, says
the Richmond Star. The criminal
expenses as shown by the report OF
the auditor for 1894, were $3.50,
14S47, while the revenue from liquor
licenses was S2S7,31574 and the rev.
enue from all other licenses other
than liquor was SS4, 40O0S. These
are startling figures for the con-
temptation of the taxpayer.
Richmond paid for criminal ex-
penses for the fiscal year ending
September 80, 1894, $40,G309S and
received from liquor licenses $50.
956S6 and from licenses other than
liquor $S,2S1.06
The expense of the public schools
of the State, according to this same
report, was $730,54S.01. 1t will thus
be seen that we pay little more than
double as much for the free education
of the citizen as for the trial and
maintenance Of the criminal.

AccoMAo COURTHOUSE, VA.
SATURDAY, JUNE s, 1895.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second-class matter

The Carnegie Company, so fresh in
the memory of the people of the
country, because of the strike and
bloodshed associated with it few
months ago, of late has been attract
ing attention in another way-in the
advance of the wages of its thirty
thousand employees. In submitting
the fact, further comment seems 10
be unnecessary, than that the wage
earners Of the Carnegie Company
were shot down for resisting de-
crease in their wages when the high
protective tariff was in operation and
the increase has been made since the
present tariff law Went into effect.
No other cop eteidsion of course could
be reached by anyone except the
calamity howlers of the Republican
party, than that the advance was
due to improvement in business
brought about by the present tariff
laws. Reports received through the
Press daily not only in this instance
but in hundreds Of others, show the
good results of the present tariff moi
only to the workingmen, but to mel
in every line of business-and the
Democrats ought to be able to con
vince the people when the time O
election arrives again that the in
terests of the country are safer il
their hands than in that of any other
party and should remain there.

1t is disappointing to know that the
city of Lynchburg shows a decrease
nearly equal to that of Danville The
old assessment was $S,29S,340 and
the new is $7,429,54 decrease of
10l per cent. There is also decrease
of ST per cent. from South River

On the other hand the following
counties show a gratifying increase:

Judge W. R Norwood, one of the
fusion, partisan judges of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina,
was indicted by grand jury at Lum
berton, in that State, charged with
drunkenness, he having been under
the influence of intoxicants to such a
degree as to incapacitate him for his
duties. This is probably the first i'll
stance on record where judge has
been indicted for such an offense by
the grand jury of the court over
which he was to preside.
