The New York Tribune says that Mr.
Thurlow Weed Barnes is preparing to
present prools of the authenticity of Ihe
Benjamin letter. He will doubtless have
a i uphill business of it. Even many of
the most pronounced Republican papers
discredit the statements of Mr. Barnes
and the genuineness of the letter. No
Southern man would have entertained for
a moment the propositions contained in
that letter, especially in IS6O.
The charges made by the Boston papers
that the bodies of the victims of the Gay-
Head disaster were stripped and robbed
by wreckers in Martha’s Vineyard and
eo stoutly denied by some of the inhabi
tants of the island, ought to be thoroughly
iDvt6tis[Btt?d. No doubt seems to exist
that while many of the people of Gay
Head acted nobly on the occasion of the
wreck, many depi editions were com
mitted. It is due to justice, as well as the
reputation of the better people cf the
vicinity, that the real culprits should not
only bs exposed, but punished.
The uiau Sykes, who killed Kate rown
•end, the notorious New Orleans courte
san, last November, has been acquitted.
The’impression when the trial began was
that tbe jury would disagree; not because
there was any extenuating circumstances
in Sykes’ favor, but because it was be
lieved that he had friends on the jury. It
wH] probablv puzzle the Nfct Orleans
public to explain how he could have been
found guiltless of any crime. It appears
to be becoming almost as easy to escape
punishment for murder when the accused
has money as it is to get a divorce.
Many rumors have been current about
the doubtful position occupied bv John A.
Logan, of Illinois, at the opening of tho
great civil war. It wasbelieted by many
that he was on the eve of uniting his des
tiny with the Confederacy, and it is
Stated that Gen. Fitz John Porter said
bluntly at that time that it was doubtful
on which side of the Ohio Logan would
land. The Boston Evening Star says
Logan heard of this remark, and tor
twenty years has ruthlessly followed up
den. Porter, and that it is mainly due to
to his enmity that the latter has been so
ieag kept from the Justice due him.
Unearned Land Grants.
The Democratic House is entitled to the
credit of passing hills forfeiting unearned
land grants. It remains to he seen what
the Republican Senate will do. During
the whole of the Forty-seventh Congress
this land grant question was pending.
The Judiciary Committees of the House
and Senate bad it under consideration.
Some of the Republican members were in
favor of declaring the grants forfeited,
but they were in the minority. It was
clearly the purpose of the Republicans to
protect the claimants of these grants.
There was no strong argument to sustain
their position. They didn't pretend to
offer any argument. They simply refused
to act, giving one reason or another for
delay. If they had retained control of
the House, it is about certain that they
would have continued to delay action.
That these grants ought to he forfeited
there is no question. They embrace hun
dreds of thousands of acres irf Southern
and Western States. These- lands are
kept out of the market. The Secretary of
the luterior has refused, and
still refuses to sell them until
Congress settles the vexed question of
ownership. In fact, he cannot safely give
a patent to them as long as the govern
ment’s right to them is questioned. The
claimants, in most cases, are the rep
resentatives of dissolved railroad com
panies. They have no intention of
building the roads in aid of which
the lands were donated, but if they
were permitted they would continue to
hold the lands with the hope that they
eould eventually make something out of
them. This policy would prevent the
lands from being settled upon and im
proved, and would be injurious to the
States in which they are located. Con
gressman Holman, in an able letter which
was widely circulated, pointed out the in
iquities of this unearned land grant busi
ness last summer. To him is due, in a
great measure, the prompt action of the
House iu passing the forfeiting hills.
It is worthy of notice that the Texas
Pacific grant is included in the forfeited
list. Mr. Huntington finds that his lob
bying methods are not successful in this
Congress. He has been doing bis best to
get this Texas Pacific grant. It com
prises about 18,000,000 acres, and his
Southern Pacific Railway runs through
it. This is the grant that Tom Scott is
alleged to have paid several "hundred
thousand dollars to Congressmen to ob
tain. If the Senate is as sincere iu pro
tecting the interests of the government as
the House has shown itself to be, there
will soon t>e several millions of acres
more of land open to settlement.
Bidding for the Workingmen’s Vote.
The New T York Legislature is consid
ering some very unusual measures this
session. The Republicans, who are in the
majority, seem to be aiming to catch the
workingmen’s vote, it is certain that
they are not particularly anxious to im
prove the condition of the workingmen
because it ought to he improved. Doubt
less they have a selfish purpose in view.
TheT are now considering a hill for limit
ing the working time of street car drivers
and conductors to twelve hours a day.
They propose, however, to insert a condi
tion in the hill that drivers and conductors
may w’ork more hours a day if they want to.
A bill w ith this condition will not be worth
much to those rt is intended to benefit,
because if the street car companies want
longer hours ot labor they will employ
only those who are willing to work more
than twelve hours.
Another bill under consideration pro
hibits the construction of any public
building in the State of stone not cut in
the State. This is for the benefit of the
New York 6tone cutters. If this hill
should become a law the State would have
to pay whatever price the stone cutters
asked, if it undertook to erect a building.
Competition would be prevented. This
bill certainly gives the stone cutters all
the protection they could possibly desire.
In their efforts to gain the good will of
the workingmen at the present time, the
New York Republicans are doubtless pre
pared to make any concessions. The con
cessions are not the occasion of so much
complaint as the object for which they
are made. If the stone cutters of New
York are entitled to he protected against
the competition of the stone cut
ters of other States, then all
classes of workmen whose work comes
in competition with that of like classes of
other States are entitled to protection,
and they will not be slow in demanding
it. This idea of protection is so firmly
imbedded in the minds of the people of
some of the Northern States that they
would doubtless favor levying duties en
products of other States, which find a
market In their States, if it were not for
the prohibition contained in the Constitu
tion. It seems a little curious that the
Republican party, which has always fos
tered monopolies, should so suddenly
take so deep an interest in legislation for
the amelioration of the condition of work
ingmen. .
The Protection of Labor.
One of the ablest Republican politicians
of Pennsylvania is Col. Matthew S. Quay.
A day or two ago hg furnished the Phila
delphia Times with an interesting inter
view. In the course of his tails, he said
that, in his opinion, if the Democratic
party were to come out flat-footed for free
trade it would lose in the manufacturing,
but would gain in the agricultural States,
He did not think it would lose more than
it would ;?ain. It must be remembered
that this opinion is from a Republican
source. For himself, Mr. Quay said that
he was in favor of a tariff on labor. What
he meant by this was that the great man
ufacturing and coal producing companies
should not be permitted to import cheap
Hungarian, and Italian labor when
labor was commanding a good price
in this country. Mr. Quay has touched a
point that has not received the attention
that it should. In all tariff discussions
one of the great arguments used by the
protectionists is that a high tariff is
necessary for the protection of the Am
erican workingmen. It is iterated and re
iterated that if the tariff is reduced to a re
venue basis American operatives will sink
to the condition of paupers. It is true, as
Mr. Quay says, that tariff legislation up
to this time has been in the interest of
capital, not labor. While insisting upon
a high tariff the capitalists have used
every means iu their power to cheapen
labor. Not very long ago there appeared
in the Pennsylvania papers accounts of
threatened riots iu the goal regions of that
State. The mine owners had imported
thousands of Hungarians to work the
mines. They paid these foreign laborers
only a small fraction of what they had
been paying the native laborers. The
foreigners were not only densely Ignorant,
but lived in a way that excited the hos
tility of the community. If these Hun
garians had left their country to seek a
home in this country without solicitation,
the rich monopolists could uot be blamed
for employing them, but the arguments
of these monopolists in favor of a high
tariff are entitled to no consideration
w hen they become the importers of pauper
labor. They cannot defend themselves by
urging that although they are protected
they must have cheaper labor or suspend
business, because the statement would
not be believed. Their object in se*
curing cheap labor is to increase their
profits. While there should be no ob
struction put in the way ot immigration,
there should be a check put on the im
portation of laborers who are satisfied to
work throughout their lives for pauper
wages.
The Fitz .John Portei- Bill.
The bill for the relief of Fitz John Por
ter passed the House yesterday by a large
majority. Ex-Governor Curtin’s speech
api>ears to have been the feature of the
debate on the bill. Mr. Curtin is not an
eloquent speaker. He seldom addresses
the House. He is a very earnest
talker, however, when he is
interested iu his subject. There is little
doubt that the bill will pass the Senate.
The Democratic Senators will support it
and Gen. Porter has several friends on
the Republican side. Gen. Porter is at
last certain of the vindication
which he has sought so long
a’nd so earnestly. He has waited
for it a long time— twenty years. He is
an old man now, and may not live long to
enjoy the justice which has been so long ,
withheld from him, but he will hare the
satisfaction of leaving his family an
blemished name. It is hardly proba > e
that the Senate wiil debate the hill at
great leugth. Gen. Logan will doubtless
be its chief opponent, but the Senate and
the country have heard already about a
he has to say. The pronounced majority
by which the* hill passed the House will
assist in hurrying It through the Senate.

Hood Signs Visible.
Philadelphia Record ( Ind .).
As long as the people remain under control
of the party managers, who look upon ques
tions only through the medium of the spoils,
the contests for President will continue to tie
exhibitions of irrational excitement. There
are signs everywhere that this domination of
party is breaking down; and when it docs the
fury of Presidential campaigns will be at an
end. Political questions will then be deter
mined by the public interests, without regard
to the selfish hopes or fears of parties.
Unendurable Silence.
Philadelphia Times (Ind. Pen,.).
The bloody-sbirt has been torn to tatters
long ago and the people of all sections are
heartllv sick of it, but just as long as its rags
can be used to exhibit Southern folly at its
worst, just so long will it be serviceable in the
Republican property room. The Democratic
statesmen should imitate the frugal boarding
house matron, who studied what the boarders
didn’t like, and gave them plenty of it. W bat
the Republican statesmen don’t want is silence
ou sectional issues. Give them plenty of it.

MAUONE WON’T RESIGN.
AVhat the Virginia Senator Says of the
Bequest for Ills Resignation.
Senator Mahone apparently gives him
self little anxiety about the resolution of
the Virginia Legislature asking him to
resign his seat in the Senate, says a
Washington special to the Philadelphia
Press. “They have no right to do any
thing of that kind,” said he, in an assem
blage of gentlemen, as the subject was
broached. “Who are they, anyhow? Do
they think that, because another political
party has got control since I was elected
they are able to ask me to resign ? If that’s
the case,” he continued, “and if Senators
ought to change with the political com
plexion of their State Legislatures, why
don’t the Ohio Democrats send notice to
Sherman that they want his seat to be
vacated? There would be just the same
justice in that that there is in this Vir
ginia Legislature asking me to resign. 1
shall simply pay no attention to them.”
••But what about the charges they
bring against you. Will you make any
answer?”
“The principal charge on which the
resolution is based is that 1 have sland
ered and vilified the State and injured its
reputation by what I have said against
the Bourbons’ and their efforts to prevent
a fair expression of opinion by intimidat
ing voters. Of the truth of my statements
the country will soon have ample evi
dence. The committee of investigation
which will soon be appointed will make a
thorough examination into the Danville
and other affairs in the State, and every
body can then judge whether I am right
or wrong. The fact is, however, continued
the Senator, that the resolution has not
been passed as a matter of justice to the
State, but as a personal effort to injure
me. The men who brought it up and
voted lor it are the same men who have
been turning out of office, without
shadow of right, every official who was
placed there by tlie party to which I be
lung. They are the same men who have
refused seats in their Senate to those who
were honestly elected to them, simply be
cause they were not of their kind, politi
cally. The object of it all is, of course,
to defeat the Readjusters and turn them
out of power.”
“And will they be able to accomplish
it?”
“That’s hard to say. I think, how
ever, thatthe people of the State, when
they can give a fair expression of opin-
will continue the party which has
been of so much benefit to them. All
that, however, is the future,” added the
Senator, starting off with a friend, “but
one thing certain now is that the resolu
tions will have no effect whatever, upon
me.”
Congressman Cabell, of Danville, who
oresided at the Democratic meeting at
that town on the day of the massacre,
said, regarding the Legislature’s resolu
tions, that he hardly expected that they
would have any effect on Mabonc. “They
have put the Legislature and the State,
however, on record as opposing him and
his methods,” lie continued, “and show
clearly that he is repudiated by the peo
ple he’purports to represent. The major
ity by which they were passed shows an
overwhelming sentiment against him and
his party, and indicates that the State is
tired of’jsuch misrepresentation,[and is
willing to go any legal length to get rid
of it. I don’t think anything more can be
done. If he won’t resign we can’t force
it, and we can only repeat that we are not
responsible for him.”
THE LATE MR. MACKEY.
A Romantic Story Connected witli HU
Marriage.
There Is, says a Philadelphia special of
January 29, a romantic story connected
with the courtship and marriage to his
octoroon wife of Congressman Mackey,
of South Carolina, who died in Washing
ton Monday. Mrs. Mackey’s father was
a white man—one of the celebrated Sump
ter family of South Carolina—and her
mother, a quadroon, was Cecilia Preston,
a sister of William Preston, turnkey at
the Nineteenth district police station in
this city. Congressman Mackey first met
his future wife, Vickey Sumpter, when
she was a girl of 12 years and he a man of
23. At that time she was a child Of great
beauty, but without any education. ’ Mr.
Mackey fell in love with her at first sight
and determined to make her his wife.
He gained her mother’s consent and sent
the girl to Oberlin College, Ohio, to be edu
cated at his expense, that she might be fit
ted to become his wile. She passed nearly
live years at Oberlin. diligently pursuing
her studies and corresponding With Mr.
Mackey, hut never seeing him until the
day before she was to be graduated. Her
vacation had been spent in Philadelphia
with her uncle, William Preston, with
whom her mother and younger sister re
sided. In the spring of 1874, when she
was to be graduated, Mr. Mackey came
on from Charleston and took Miss' Sump
ter’s mother on to Oberlin to witness the
Commencement exercises and to bring
Miss Vickey home. AVtaen Mr. Mackey
met her there after the five years’ separa
tion, she had grown, if possible, more
beautiful- was highly ttucomptished,
and received her diploma with honors,
alter which Mr. Mackey, the young lady
and her mother came to Washington, and
stopped at the Continental Hotel. That
evening Bishop Simpson was eept for and
the young couple were married in the par
lor. The only witnesses to the ceremony
were the bride’s mother, her young sister
Rosalie, and William Preston, her uncle.
Mrs. Mackey has three children, who,
like herself, are blondes. Two of the sons
of the late Congressman, who are stu
dents at Maplewood Institute. Concord-'
ville. Pa., received a telegram to-day
calling them to Arlington,
FROZEN SOLID FOR OO MILES.
The Ice Embargo In Chesapeake Bay—
New England Vessels Rocked in.
The ice embargo in the Chesapeake bay
has gotten to be quite a serious matter.
For sixty miles the bay is frozen solid.
A narrow channel is kept open, but is so
full of drift ice as to be hardly navigable.
A host of vessels are frozen in and some
are so cut by the ipe that it is feared that
they will sink as soon as the ice breaks
up. The ice has nearly carried away the
large iron lighthouse on Seven-foot Knoll
Shoal at the mouth of the I’atapsco river.
Large iron piles, eight inches thick, are
cut into as with a knife. The govern
ment is placing piles around it for pro
tection. Nine New England vessels, la
den with bituminqus coal, are frozen up
in the harbor and cannot proceed. They
are the schooners Eva L. Ferris, John
Proctor and Isaac T. Campbell, for Bos
ton, Orvat Horaitz, Bertha Walker. Wil
liam 11. Walker and Samuel H. Walker
for New Haven,'and Joseph F. Baker and
William G. Hart, of Providence. The
united ‘cargoes aggregate 10,000 tons of
coal. More moderate weather than the
present is needed to break the embargo.
“Served the Dentist Right.”
The boys said that It served old Doctor
Toothstuffer right, when he had the tooth
ache so badly that he couldn’t sleep at
night. He had inflicted so much pain on
other people, in pulling and mending their
teeth, that they thought it would be good
for him to suffer a little himself. The
leading dentist ot Portsmouth, N. H.,
knows what pain is and has relieved him
self from the twinges of neuralgia by the
use of Perry Davis’ Pain Killer. Disre
gards it without a rival.
AWAITING HIS INEVITABLE
FATE.
A Hunter Kills a White Deer, and
Knows That He will Soon Die.
A correspondent of the New York
World says that Silas Rohrbacher, of
Hunter’s Range, Luzerne county, Penn
sylvania, has sold his property and re
moved to another county because of his
superstition that the killer of a white
deer is sure to die soon or meet other mis
fortune. Rohrbacher and his son discov
ered a white doe in the woods on Tuesday
of last week. It was' lying prostrate on
the ice and unable to gain a hold by
which it might rec#rer Its footing. Rohr
bacher resolved to rescue the deer from its
position and at the same time give it a
place of security until the show had
melted in the woods. His son went home
aud returned with au empty leed-bag and
two pieces of rope. The bag was drawn
over the doe’s head, and her feet were tied
with the ropes. She was then lilted and
carried to Rohrbaclier’s clearing, where
it was turned loose In the cattle shed
with a cow and a yoke of steers. It soon
became reconciled to its position, and fed
with the cattle.
On Thursday last Rohrbacher wont to
the shed to throw down hay to his cattle.
As ho opened the door a gust of wind
caught it and threw it wide open. The
doe caught a glimpse of the woods through
the open door and sprang towards it. As
the deer went past him, Rohrbacher me
chanically raised the long-tined hayfork
he had iii his hands and thrust it at the
deer. The tines struck it in the side, and
were buried to the handle in its body.
The tines broke off as the deer leaped out
of the door and remained in its side. The
doe jumped the high log fence around the
cow yard, and ran lor a hundred yards
down’the road, when it staggered to one
side and fell heavily on the snow. Rohr
bacher ran to the spot and found the doe
dead. Almost crazed, he hurried away
to where some choppers were at work in
the woods, and told them what had hap
pened, and said that he had sealed his
doom. One of the men took the deer’s
hotly into the woods, removed the skin
and’ threw the carcass in a swamp, the
meat being unfit for food at this time.
The skin he sold 19H $lO. Two days later
Rohrbacher left the neighborhood.
AVhite deer are exceedingly rare, not
more than a dozen having ever been seen
in the mountains of that region. They are
always does and are said to be larger than
the red doe. The last one killed in North
ern Pennsylvania previous to the above
mentioned one was shot by three hunters
in 1872, and the believers in the white
deer superstition refer to that killing as a
positive proof of their belief. The hunt
ers were Ilornbeck Shinier, of Wilkes
barre; Charles Ilaney, of Luzerne coun
ty, and Lyman S. Bevens, of Port Jervis,
N. Y. They started the white deer on the
Shohola creek, and each shot at it and hit
it, killing it. Shinier at that time was
proprietor of tbo Exchange Hotel in
Wilkesbarre, wealthy aud the picture of
health. Bevans was a prominent mer
chant in his town and Haney was largely
interested in coal mining. Shimer died a
bankrupt after a painful and lingering
sickness about a year afterwards; Bev
ans failed in business and blew out his
brains, and Haney died from small-pox, a
poor man and alone.
Sent to Prison tor Marrying.
On Thursday last Charles Cope, the
nineteen year-old-son of Charles Cope, Sr.,
a wealthy gentleman residing on Roland
avenue, Baltimore, and Miss Mary Porter,
of the same age, and daughter of a poor
widow residing in the neighborhood, were
married by the Rev. A. D. Melvin. The
young couple remained at the house of a
friend until Saturday, when the young
husband was arrested by the order of his
fattier, and, being taken before Justice
Dorsey, was committed to the House of
Refuge as incorrigible aud beyond his fa
ther’s control. The lad obtained a writ of
habeas corpus and expects to be released.
Although tbo young wife is a Catholic
and her husba’inj is a Protestant, it is
thought that his father’s objection is
founded upon the poverty of the family,

Put a Brand on Him.
“Women are a necessary evil,” he said,
bringing down his first hard on the counter to
emphasize the heartless remark. It was in
the village store at West .Milton, Saratoga
county, and the speaker was the central figure
or a group of bucolic philosophers. lie was
homely, slovenly and sixty.
“There’s where I differ from you altogether,”
said Mr. George T. Graham, of the same plaee.
“Women are mostly what men make ’em.
AVhcn husbands are brutes wives will fall into
submission or make home hot for the men;
and they’re unnatural in either character.
Love them, and especially lie good to them
when they're sick, and you’ll have no trouble.
There’s my ojvn wife, now. She’s suffered a
good deal with dyspepsia, nervous prostration
and other ailments that took the bloom off her
cheeks and the springe out of her steps. Well,
she saw an advertisement of Parker’s Toxic,
and thought it would he just the thing for her
ease. Gentlemen, I sent five miles after a
bottle, she took it. 1 sent again after more.
So several times. Trouble? W hv, if you could
see how much good it has done lier you would
say that women are the greatest of God’s
blessings, and I’akkeu’s Tonic is the next.”
This preparation, which has been known as
Parker’s Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be
called simply Parker’s Tonic. This change
has been rendered necessary by substitutes im
posed upon their customers bv unprincipled
dealers under the name of ginger; and as gin
ger is really an unimportant flavoring ingredi
ent, we drop the misleading word,
There is no change, however, m the prepara
tion itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands oi dealers, wrapped under the name of
Parker’s Ginger Tonic contain the genuine
medicine if the fac simile signature of lliacox
,t Cos. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
