THE DICKENS FAMILY REUNITED.
A completo reconciliation has taken
place between Mrs. Dickens and her sis
ter—it seems too painful to add, and be
tween Mrs. Dickens and her eldest daugh
ter. A few days ago there was a meet
ing between tho three ; much shedding
of tears and poignancy of feeling ; but
tho end is as I have described. It would
appear that it was the deceased alone
who stood in the way. His death unites
tho children to the mother, and sister to
sister! One wishes the veteran Mr.
Hogarth, whose death occured a few
months since, could have witnessed this
meeting. Mr. Hogarth, who was the
intimate friend of Walter Scott, and who
often sat with Wilson in tho “Ambrosial
Nights,” was a singularly tender-hearted
man, and no ono can exaggerate the
grief which he felt ot the indifference be
tween his daughters. I have heard his
voice break ns he spoke of it—He liked
liia son-in-law, and was once exceedinly
proud of him; bnt, after the separation,
lie conld not bear to hear liia name men
tioned. His sympathies were solely
with the wifi*, and it nppfeared as though
some loved ideal was shattered when
Dickens told his wife he could live with
her no longer.
OBEAT MEN AND THRIlt WIVES.
From tho days of Socrates to Charles
Dickens there has l>een ono long succes
sion of unfortunate examples. Poet and
painter, dramatist and novelist, philoso
pher and linguist, the Moliers, the Mil-
tons, the Byrons, theBnlwers, thoDurors
the Sealigers, the Sheridans, the Thack-
erays—will all marry and quarrel in the
future, os they have in the past. All
these men, without exception will, in the
future, as in the past, blame tlieir wives
for tho several successive catastrophes.
Aud yet what a rockord of heartlessness
and indifference our greatest ineu have
left their domestic life. Dr. Franklin,
that old ntiliturinn kite-flyer, went to
Europe, leaving his wife behind, and
never saw her face for eleven years. She
had shared his poverty, practiced his
Poor Richard maxims, pinched and econo
mized, patched and darned, worked ear
ly and late, bred children, nursed them
through spine, jaundice, ml gnm,
whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever
and fits, while Benjamin enjoyed the
splendor of a conrt, velvet coaches,
great dinners and choice society. Of
course when ho came hack the poor
drudge was no match for the philosopher;
there was a great gulf between them.
That her heart rebelled was manifest in
tho headstrong nets of his children. He
quarreled with his sons and disinherited
of them. A just retribution for any
wrong on woman is sure to come iu the
vice and crime of her children to the
third and fourth generation. Henry
Clay thought he could safely leave his
tho circus tent, in the open air, this being
a gratuitous exhibition given before the
commencement of the performances for
the purpose of attracting a crowd. Her
first appearance in public occurred at
Cliicago, in April, 1857. The day was a
windy, disagreeablo one; the atmosphere
was damp, and tho wiro was wet and
slippery. As she commenced her peril
ous journey tho gusts of wind playexl the
mischief with her abbreviated skirts, and
rendered it extremely difficult for her to
keep her footing. But, with balance
pole in hand, she steadily pursued her
way until she had walked half the length
of the wire. At this point she unfortu-
Hatley made a misstep, and to the horror
of the gaping crowd, came with great
velocity to the ground. A stalwart mi
berof the company caught her in
arms, however, and saved her from
injury, whereupon she plnckily tried the
operation over again, and this time with
complete success, walking to tho top of
tho tent and then performing tho still
more defficult feat of descending to the
ground by the same hazardous course,
retiring at the conclusion of her per
formance amidst a general chorns of
shonts and cheers from the unwashed
multitude who had been admiring her
beauty and daring. Tnls was her f rat
appeaaance in pnblic, but she repeated
the performance twice a day tho whole
of the traveling season, which lasted six
or seven months, during which time the
circns visited the principal towns of Illi
nois, Missouri, Arkansas and Kentucky.
During her stay in Chicago she was at
tended on various occasions by a com
mon looking seedy individual, whom she
introduced to the company as her broth
er, but who, it was afterwards learned,
was no less au iudivdual than
HER HUSBAND.
Alter leaving Chicago this individual
vanished from sight, and like Billy
Lackaday’s father, “ho was always kept
in the background an never since been
heard from.” In the Autumn the circns
came to grief at Mayaville, Ky., aud the
members of the company were left to find
their way to their homes as best they
ublic throughout the world.—
i the story of her exploits in
eated a strong interest in her
lit was supposed that on her
arrival th^ro she would be greeted with
an ovation. _ It is probable, however, that
me damaging revolution in regard to
>r antecedents had proceeded her, for

Bsddri, Prince Bslm-Salm was in dis
grace with bia.noblo relatives in conse
quence of various escapades anterior to
liis alliance with this woman. He took

Letter from How. Linton
Stephens.
Sparta, Ga., 6th September, 1870.
CoL D. A. Alston, Secretary of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of Georgia.
Peab Sib—Yonr letter was duly receiv
ed, informing me that I was chosen Chair
man of tho Democratic Executive Com
mittee of this State, at a meeting held at
- Atlanta ogAhe 1st inst., iu pursuance of
a call from the President or the'Demo
cratic Convention, 7 to assemble at the
time aad place stated, and complete their
oraanizntion by electing a Chairman ont-
Me of their own number.
While sending to the committee
through yon my acceptance of the posi
tion assigned, and my sincere acknowl
edgments of tho honor conferred, I take
this occasion to express my own vieus
on a subject which the committee lias
brought before tho public, by taking ac
tion on it before their selected Chairman
hail accepted his appointment, and be
fore, therefore, they had a complete or
ganization or even the number required
by the resolution of the Convention pro
viding for tho formation of an Executive
Committee.
The subject to which I allude is the
selection of candidates in tho approaching
election, with reference to their eligibil
ity nuder existing so-called laws, and the
certainty of their being allowed to take
their seats if elected. The recommenda
tion which some members of the Com
mittee, in its unorganized and incom
plete state, have given to the people on
this subject is already receiving different
interpretations. For my own part I am
at a total loss to imagine how any man
elected to Congress from this State conld
have any “certainty” of being allowed to
take liis scat without avowing his uncon
ditional adhesion to the creed of the Rad
ical party. If the recommendation means
this it w’ill bo promptly repudiated by
every tmo Democrat in the Uuited States;
and I will not do the members of the
Committee, who put forth the recom
mendation, the injustice to believe for a
single moment that they intended it to
reach to this event. Nor can I believe,
suppose, that they intended to
advise the people to put up only such
candidates as can tako the iron-dad or
test oath.
I remark just hsre iu passing that the
13th Amendment abohahing slavery
stands upon an entirety different footing,
and in nay judgement, constitutes a nu
part of the Constitution. This doctrine
—that the only p*—im*
or disabilities for members of Congress
are those to be found in tbe Constitution
itself—always observed, in the better
days of the government, sad violated,
only by revolutionary Radicalism, will
certainly l>e respected and enforced by
every true Democratic Congress in the
future.
I think, therefore that we should se
lect members of Congress without the
slightest regard to so-called disabilities,
except that we shoold not fail to send at
least some who are Subject to them, and
who have ability to show their, invalidity
and enormity. They must have a hear
ing on the question of their right to
seats, and that question, well argued on
the theatre of Congress, would shake this
country from centre to ciroomferenoe.
Onr strength lies in attact—in attacking
the usurpation aad smn'niitiws of the
parywimutf i ***&&**:
whole system of government by first
crushing out the States which stand as
the obstacle in the way of their scheme
of centralization and consequent unob
structed public plunder. Our strength
is in the truth, and their weakness is in
their guilt Our. policy is not to shrink
from the contest, but to wage an unre
mitting war on tho field of truth and
reason; and we must briug forward
such issues as will reveal the malignity
of their designs and tl
guilt. Itisatimewl
ly and weakness, and courage is wisdom
and strength. We are invincible on the
issues if tuoy are rightly made ; and let
us remember that nobody ever gained a
victory by running away from the battle
field.
These ontliued ideas may be enlarged
if the Committee shall hereafter submit-
address to tho people of Georgia
Yours, very respectfully,
Linton Stephens.

the strings of somebody’s plethoric
purse. But, like the celebrated Grand
Duchess,
SHE LOVES THE MILITARY.
Soon after the breaking ont of the re
bellion, Miss Agnes figured conspicuous
ly at Washington, and will be remem
bered by many who were connected with
the srmV at that time. With good looks,
and active intelligence, a frank, pleasing
manner, and boundless audacity, sho in
gratiated herself in high quarters, and
soon had several distinguished military
personages in her train of admirers. Th*
fascinations of spangles had been eclipsed
by tbe more substantial splendors of
shonlder straps and epaulets, and Miss
Agnes was determined that her name
should henceforth Txi identified with
battlefields instead of itinerant show*.
She doubtless hoped to see it figure as
prominently in official bulletins as it had
heretofore appeared in circus pro
grammes.

The difficulty of making a recommenda
tion which should present any uniform
rule applicable aliko to elections for .Con
gress and election for the the State Legis
lature was foreseen by tho recent Demo
cratic Convention, and induced the Busi
ness Committee of thut body and that
body itself, to forego the attempt. I
roust also remark that the gentlemen who
have put forth the l-eootamendolion in
question, have fallen into a mistake ns to
mere having been auy recommendation
on this subject from tbe Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of the United States.
On tho contrary, tho whole subject of eli
gibility of candidates, as effected by so-
called disabilities, has been left by the
National Democratio organization and
by the Dcmocrrtic State Convention,
without auy recommendation at nil—
leaving tho members^of tho party every
where perfectly free to shape their action
according to their own convictions of
principle and policy in the different local-
itiis. But since the subject has been
brought before the publio in a quasi
official form by members of the Commit
tee with which I am officially connected,
I deem it due to myself to make known
iny own distinct and strong convictions os
to tho course required by. sound policy
and sanctioned by sound principles.
As to members of the Legislator .
think the people should select only those
who are free from oil tbo so-called dis
abilities; and this simply as a matter of
policy. The Legislature will be subject
to the roanipulaticn of the dominant
party ot Washington; and that party will
exclude from it all iiersons who maybe
subject to any of tbe disabilities which
they have prescribed for aud attempted
to fix upon the clasi- of officers. For the
Legislature we have abundant sound ma
terial which is free from all disabilities
prescribed for that class; and by electing
a Legislature from this material, we shall
either get n sound administration of the
State affairs, or else drive the enemies of
constitutional liberty into the perpetra
tion of some outrage, aud thus pile up and

accelerate the retribution which awaits
them at the hands of an indignant poo-
ple. It mnst be borne in mind that
the iron-clad, or test oath, has not yet
been required for tho members of the
Legislature.
Members of Congress stand on a diff
erent footing, and with regard to them I
believe a different policy is demanded.—
In their case the iron-clad or test oath is
required. Let not onr people persuade
themselves that the party flow dominant
Congress will dispense with that oath
individual cases or by general repeal,"
except for a consideration— a price paid,
or to be paid. That price will bo noth
ing less than the acceptance of all their
usurpations as “fixed facta,” without
even a pledge against nnlimited usurpa
tion in the future, I firmly believe it
would be far better that our people
8liould remain forever unrepresented
thou that they should be misrepresented
by men who can either take that oath,
or get a dispensation from it. ^ It is idle
ana foolish to expect the Radical party,
in the present condition of affairs, to ad
mit into Congress any real representation
of our people.
They will ocoept only those who, would
destroy oar moral power by misrepresen
ting and debasing us. Let us, therefore,
dismiss all idea of getting real represen
tatives into a Congress where there is a
Radical majority; and let us not forget
that a true Democratic Congress will
admit any members who may have the
qualifications required by the trss Goustt-
tution: Stripped of the destructive u*u^
