THE DEADLOCK.

President Andrew Johnson, i'll one oil
his speeches during his famous swing
around the circle" in 1866 said:
Come what may this rock shall fly
From it's firm base as soon as |.
From all that can be seen the two
uuaterniOns in the Board of Aldermen
OF this city are inspired by the same
lines, both sides, apparently, having
become determined to die in the last
ditch" While the rival bands mlngle
as pleasantly rs ever and the best OF
feeling seems to prevail. so far as can
be observed, there is not the slightest
prospect of variation or shadow OF
turning; hence, when thelAldermen re-
assemble on the night OF Tuesday, the
Goth instant, it is expected that the
'four-to-four'' vote will again be re-
corded when balloting for president
shall have been resumed, as the deter
mination to stand by your guns" will
doubtless be in evidence. The suggcs-
ton that the lot be brought into requl-
sition has, it is understood, been re-
jected by sides.

COLONEL .dARYE

As stated Yesterday Colonel Morton
Marye, auditor OF public accounts o.
Virginia, was seventy-nine-years oiu o''
Wednesday. - p;.,,
Tn mentioning his birthday the Rich
mond Times Dispatch says: Probably
this was his first birthday during his
twenty-six years occupancy OF one OF
the most important Offices in the state
government on which he has been un-
able to attend to his Official duties.
For some weeks past Colonel Marye
has been suffering from a painful
though not serious attack OF sclatlca,
which has kept him to his home a
larger part Of the time.
There arc few other men in the
United States who at so advanced an
age OCCUPY a position of SO much i'm
portance and active responsibility.
Although cripple as a result of his
gallant defense of his state, he has en-
Dyed vigorous health, and has given
ihe affairs Of his Office the closest at
tention for ageneration.
This distinguished Virginian was
born on September Z, 1881. In the
days before the war between the states
he was merchant in Alexandria, but
always took y keen interest in military
affairs. He was in command as cap
tain of the Alexandria company OF mi
litia which took part in the attack on
John Brown during the latter's rad,
when he was in possession OF the
United States arsenal at Harper's Ferry
then in Virginia.
At the outbreak Of the conflict he
became commander Of the Seventeenth
Virginia Infantry as its colonel taking
part with honor to himself and to his
command in many OF the most san
guine engagements. At the second
battle of Manassas he received a wound
which necessitated the amputation OF a
leg
Although this incident caused Col
oncl Marye's retirement from active
service, he was breyeted brigadler-
general, inasmuch as the title was com
plimentary, the gallant soldier declined
to accept it or to be called general, anu
elected to be colonel for the rest OF
his days. During the remainder OF the
war he was in service in Richmond rs
a member of board whose duty IT was
to pass upon the retirement OF officers
and men of the Confederate army.
At the end of the war Colonel Marye
was elected clerk Of The courts of Alex
andria, serving there until the election
of the Legislature in 1888, when the
democrats recaptured the State from
the rcadjusters and republicans. When
Governor Cameron went into Office, ).
Brown Allen, now postmaster ut Staun-
ton, was made auditor of public ac-
counts, but his term expired on Janu-
airy l, 1854, as in those days the Audi
tor was elected every two years. Col
one Marye was chosen by the demo
cratic caucus, and took office on ,lanu-
airy 2. 1884. He has never since that
time had serious opposition. There
has been at times talk Of other persons
for the office but it has never gone so
far as contest in the caucus.
Until the time Of the new Constitu-
ton, the election was every two years,
and since every four years. The audi
tor is the only State officer provided by
the Constitution elected by the Lcgisla-
ture. Colonel h1arye's present term
expires on February l, 1913.
