Gen. Lee not a Candidate.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has written a
letter to Col. b. o. James, of Rich
mond, Va, in regard to the United
States senatorship, in which he says:
my Dear Colonel have received
both your letters. My duties as com
mander of large body of troops have
occupied so mach of my time that l
have not been able to give the sub
ject you mention the careful consid-
Grafton it deserves. Many letters
from numerous friends in Virginia
are being constantly received by me,
in which they urge my prompt re-
turn to the State in order to arrange
to make canvass of the whole State,
so that the people may be informed,
so far as I can enlighten them, on the
political issues involved in the selec-
ton of a Senator to represent the
State in the United States Senate.
''These letters have placed me un-
der some embarrassment, because l
have been unable to say when can
leave the present important work |
am engaged in, and because, too, l
cannot say how long my stay will be
prolonged on this island.
I'm view of these uncertain cOndl-
tions l think it best to relieve my
friends and the senatorial situation
by authorizing you to say that it is
my desire that my name shall not be
considered in connection with the
United States senatorship. I am
quite sure my friends generally will
support for the seat now occupied by
Mr.. Martin any candidate who can
secure the greatest support from the
people or their representatives.
"In conclusion, express the hope
that the people of Virginia will be
given in the near future the oppor-
tunity for the selection of Senator
to represent their interest in the
Senate Of the United States, and that
no man shall occupy that high posi-
ton unless he can read his title
clear.n

Entered at the Postofice at Accomac
c. e., Va, as second-class matter.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Crisfield Leader, takes MS to tasF
.sfor the few lines we had to say ID
recent issue OF this paper about some
of the citizens of MY Maryland
caught in the act of depradatins on
our oyster beds and now in durance
vile for their temerity. We erred, II
seems, in the epithets we applied &c
them. 1t is not denied, that they came
into Virginia land took things that
did not belong to them" The Leader
admits it and even "deprecates the
violation of Virginia's oyster laws OIL
the part of the oystermen of Mary
rand. - but mirabile dictul it must
not be mentioned, or if at all, in tones
so low and sweet that the oyster dep
redators of "My Maryland will moi
be offended. That our contemporary
has such tender regard for theil
feelings, however. will occasion nc
surprise, in the light of another state
ment made in its columns, viz; thai
the Maryland oystermen who invaded
our territory and appropriated oul
nronerty are no more pirates thar
the Virginia Police Force" which
pursued and captured them and thell
i'll gotten gains. Our contemporary
of course, did not mean this and OF
sober second thought cannot but re-
pudiate a proposition so entirely a
variance with justice and good NOR
ais. The Leader, in its zeal to defenc
all of it's citizens, simply errs in moi
discriminating between its law-aold'
ing and it's law-breaking citizens,ano
we respectfully submit, thereby com
mits great mistake. 1t must agree
with us that the way to stop crime IL
to punish crime, the way, to stop 8
Marylander from taking oysters
which do not belong to him, is not by
backing him up and calling upon the
Governor of Maryland to ask The
Governor of Virginia, because OF the
pleasant relations existing between
the two States and the inseparable
ties of affection and common Interest
which bind them together, to con-
done the offence of the law-breakel
and restore to him mis- property
but to permit the courts to mett
out to him the justice he deserves
No, that has been done too much al
ready. The men now in our custody
for violating our laws and the boats
captured with them must be helc
until dealt with according to law.

The Editor of the PENINSULA EN-.

oystermen in Maryland watershed
ger-Enterprise.
The above is misleading. MARY

people are too closely identified witt
virginians in interest aud in the at
lection they bear to each other for u
sto poke fun at Maryland The
article, to which our contemporary
refers, was intended only for those
Marylanders, "who take things which
do not belong to them" and not only
for them, but Virginians as well, with
a like disregard for the property
rights OF others.

Renorts. received through our ex.

Reports, received through our ex-
changes, seem to indicate that the
peach crop on the Eastern Shore OF
MARYLAND and Delaware this year
will be a failure. 1t is the usual re-
port at the beginning of every year
in those sections and was accepted
when first made with an incredulous
smile and as the same old annual
stovy of the peach growers. The
unanimity, in which they continue to
concur in the matter, seems however
to leave it no longer in doubt. The
hardest varieties even, it is stated,
have been killed.
