LITTLERHODY’S BACK UR-
FEDERALINTERFERENCE.
*‘BAD MKDICEQS** FOB YANKEES.
Nkwpobt, R. L, March 6.—Governor
Howard presented a report of Chief Con
stable Northernp to the Senate yesterday
afternoon in relation to the official inter
ference of United States Marshal Cogg-
shall at the recent seizure of liquors
which wero under the protection of the
State. His speech has, it is said, caused
a profound sensation throughout the
State. The following is the substance of
tho speech:
In the collision between the officers of
the Stato and the- United States, I was
called on by a member of the constabul
ary force and informed of an existing dif
ficulty and asked to interfere iu the mat
ter. It seemed lo me, ou an examina
tion of tho facts, that although there was
no donbt in my raind that I might direct
a portion of the military establishment
of tho State to sustain the State officers
of law, yet prudence required that the
question might better be decided by a
court, than by an intervention of the mil
itary; besides, I was reluctant to bring
the military to antagonism with the po
lice of the city of Providence. I there
fore directed the constabulary to make
no farther effort to seize the liquor then
held by the United States marshal and
the chief of police. As a result, this has
been placarded as a victory on the part
of the Uuited States marshal apd his
It seems proper that I should therefore
say that the pnssillanimity, if auy, is
mine than that of the State constabula
ry, and tho obloquy, if any, is mine. I
agree fully with the universal opinion
that these attachments are collusive, and
a thinly disguised sham, and I share a
general sense of mortification at the in
dignity to which onr commonwealth was
subjected. I realize also the gravity of
the situation, and recognize it as an im
perative daty to take measures for an
early and proper adjustment of the ques
tion.
There have been dinned into our ears
for,the past six months, threats with re
gam to Fort Adams and revenue cutters,
but so long os these threats were words
and idle words, they have been treated
as such ; yet when it is gravely stated by
a respectable and intelligent journal that
troops from Fort Adams and the United
States revenue cutter Samuel Dexter,
had been placed at the disposition of the
marshal, it seems proper to ask why is
this done? Whom is it desired to attack?
Not a foreign foe—not a turbulent com
munity in rebellion! It must be then
for a purpose of waging war on the peo
ple of a 8ta»e—a State whose people from
the date of its fettlement have been
noted for their intelligent conservatism
and patriotism.
It may be improper for this honorable
body to consider such menaces so loDg as
they are menaces, but now that an issue
is directly forced, I think it onght to re
ceive your attention. Your presence here,
Senators, is a mockery and a farce if such
proceedings as these are snstained by the
Federal government. Your honorable
Judiciary and Executive may as well re
sign their offices and leave the control and
direction of State affairs to the subordi
nates of the United States government
No graver question has been forced
upon the State since its first settlement.
It is a vital question, for in it are involved
the sovereignty of the State and the har
monious relations of the State with the
United States. The little State of Rhode
Island is entitled on sucbnxriuts to an
equal respect as larger Slates, or the Gen
eral Government itself. I make no argu
ment on this question, the matter is in
the hands of the General Assembly, and
T am confident it will be adjusted in snch
manner as to vindicate the honor of the
State and maintain the integrity of the
laws. I have not the slightest doubt that
the authorities at Washington, when this
matter is properly communicated to
them, will promptly and emphatically
condemn and repudiate the proceedings
of the marshal in these premises.
Type is a Newstapek.—The Pough
keepsie Eagle, in an article on “How
Mistakes Happen in Newspapers,” figures
on the number of types used in a news
paper of the size of the Eiqle at 000,000,
the actual number of bits of metal ar-
ranged aud re-arranged every day in pre
paring a newspaper the size of the Eagle,
which is about the same size of the Con
stitutionalist, for the press. We suppose
few people think of the priming trade as
the most exact and particular business,
but it is. In makiDg type, variations that
might be allowed in the machinery of the
finest watch would render tho type use
less. It is very rarely that type furnished
by two separata foundries can bo used
together without a good deal of tronble.
though they try to make it after thesnn
standard. We read once in a while of
wonderful piece of cabinet work, coi
taining ten, twenty, or fifty thousand
pieces, the maker of which has spent
months, or even years of labor in pro
ducing it, and people go to see it as a
great curiosity, but the most elaborate
and carefully fitted piece of work of this
kind ever made does not compare with
that which the printer does every day.
Tho man who does the first is looked upon
as an artist—a marvel of skill, and if a
hundred of his pieces are put in wrong
side np, or turned the wrong way, it is
not observed in the general effect; hot
if the printer, in fitting ten times as many
pieces together in the same day, puts one
where another should be, or turns one
the wrong way, everybody sees it, and is
amazed at “the stupid carelessness of
those stnpid printers.” Even in
short article there are no levs than 1 7J*
separate pieces of metal.—Augusta Con
stitutionalist.
Mb. Stephens. -We find the following
paragraph in a letter from Washington
to the Colnmbns Times:
I found him (Mr. Stephens) very fee
ble. He spends his days on a lounge in
a room adjacent to his bed-room. It ia
a sad right to see this intellectual giant
stricken by his physical ailment. He
never expects to* leave bis room again.
He grows eloqaent in his dennndation
of the Louisiana outrage. He proposed
at one time to embody his visws in a
written protest, to be read by bis friend,
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, bat being
a member of the House, it was abandon
ed as out of the role. He ssys Grant is
spiteful and small in his recent polioy,
under which he baa opposed hi* will—
the will of one man against the expressed
sentiment of the entire nation.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says
two ex-Gonfederate soldiers, each of
whom lost an arm in the late war, died
in that city Wednesday, and their funer
als took place together yesterday after
noon from Asbury M. E, Church. One
was Mr. Samuel Ratcliffe, formerly, we
lelieve of the 10th Georgia, and Mr.
Dawse Ware, of company C (Georgia
Mght Guards), 48th Georgia, who lost
Lia arm at the second Manassas.
Husbands and Wires
How often is it said in the present day
that men and women ore falsely placed
with regard to each other. According to
one party men are too strong, and they
demand that women’s perogative be
forthwith greatly increased—they would
make men of them at once. Others con
sider that by a different course of educa
tion, which should direct their minds to
great objeots, women wonld quietly as
sume a position equal to that of men,
without any more active interference. A
third and large party assert that, so lar
from men being the stronger, they have
always beon the victims of the other sex.
There is is perhaps some truth in each
of these propositions; but when we con
sider that men have always been the
law-makers there may be a suspicion of
their having secured to themselves an
undue portion of powers and privileges
of social life. It is so easy to make a
law in favor of one’s self, that we think
there is a chance of the suspicion being
“’ell founded. On the other hand, the
rca’.l amount of troth which we have
supposed to exist in the proposition above
slated is completely swamped by the
presence of a load of injustice.
The destiny of man and woman, hus
band and wife, is the same; each has cer
tain du*ies to perform which, of them
selves, combine for the matnal advantage,
as truly and beautifully as the ingrafting
of two trees will produoe one excellent
kind of fruit. If men and women, when
brought together by marriage, and who
have to live together for the whole of
their lives, would make up their minds
to be as ohairitable to each other’s fail
ings, as much disposed to mutual for
bearance, and considerateness towards
each other’s feelings iu private, as they
appear to be when in presence of their
friends, we should hear mach less about
injustice, and false position.
To use a common expression, what is
fair for one is fair for the other; in the
married state there should be the strict
est equality. The husband should come
down from the position of master, not
that his place msy be taken by the
woman—
“For woman ia not undevelopt man”—
but that she may be the sharer of his
pleasures, hopes and joys, os she has
ever been the partaker ol his pains, fears
and sorrows. There is nothing more
beautiful than friendship; and the friend
ship of husband aud wife insures the
highest earthly happinees.
Many married men consider themselves
justified in passing most of their even
ings away from home, among their com
panions. If this is fair for the man it
is equally fair for the woman to go oat
and visit her friends also. If it be es
sential that the woman always have a
smile ready to greet iier husband when
he enters, it is equally esseutial that he
should bring good humor andai pleasant
countenance with him. True, he may
be troubled and annoyed with business
cares; bnt is she not troubled aud an
noyed, often to a greater extent, with
family and household cares, with the
difference that, while she is always
amougst hers, the man by his more ac
tive out-door life does, in some measure
modify his. If it be fair for the husband
to keep the purse, it is fair that the wife
should know how much or how little
theie may be in it There must be no
secrets on either side; what the mAU
knows the woman ought to know. In
cases of difficulty woman’s feelings will
often suggest a better remedy than u
The case might be met by the mutual
recognition of one common pnrpose.and
object, combined with respect for differ
ing in views regarding its attainment
Generally speaking it may be said that
wants for man, more sympathy, for
woman more of discretion :—

Beach on Beeeciier.—The learned
lawyers in tho Beecher Tilton case
no opportunity of airing their eloquence
before the scandal-hungry crowd that
daily throug ihe Brooklyn court. Mr.
Bench, during the argument on the ques
tion of allowing Tilton to testify, found
place for a very telling allusion to the
great preacher. Viewing the case from
a social standpoint, he drew such a pic
ture of Beecher’s alleged crime that the
audience were overcome, and Tilton him
self was moved to tears. He depicted a
happy home, the wife frail and delicate,
but devoted to ber husband. He pic
tured the past* r as teaching the wife to
believe in pious adultery, and leading
her along a flowery path to a precipice
over which she fell. Referring, with a
scornful smile, to the pastor standing at
the head of his h- no red profession, he
described, in a voice tinged with bitter
ness, the assiduous and silver tongue that
would lure au angel from Paradise. “She
looked npoQ him, - ’ said Mr. Beach, “with
a veneration .second only to that with
which she legarded her God! Nay! if
au incarnate Christ had come down with
the glory of Calvary upon His brow, and
the love of sacrifice in His eye, she wonld
not huve bowed to Him with more obe
dience than this woman did to her pas
tor.”—Com:

Why-Mbs. Moulton Kissed Beecher.
When I kissed Beecher, I was sorry at
the anguish he exhibited. He was cry
ing, and I was crying, and I felt as if I
was in the presence of death. I thought
that I should never see him again, as
I was afraid that he was abont to commit
suicide.
I remember also one Friday evening,
Beecher came into the room very much
depressed, and I put my hands on his
shoulders and said to my husband,
“Frank, take care of this good man."
On the evening when I kissed Beecher
on the forehead, I told Frank when he
returned of the interview, and of what I
bad done.

k-There was a fair in Gilbertsville,

and here let the Pottstown Ledger step
and tell the rest: “When the an
nouncement was made a wild scene of
excitement cusued. Miss Nestor was at
surrounded by a crowd of admiring
swain, who carried her bodily from the

upon the counter, and called for drinks

never been admitted to the Philadelphia

S&-Gov. Porter said to a Nashville
Banner reporter the other day, in a
versation concerning the civil rights bill:
“It was enacted not to benefit the negro,
but to briDg about strife and bloodshed
that tbe Republican party might wade
through human gore to success in 1876.
That party proposed to make a sacrifice
of the poor black man that it might be
continued in power. But the Southern
people ought not to permit themeslves to
be entrapped and made tbe instruments
by which that party might be perpetu
ated. Though this unconstitutional
monstrosity may be hard to bear, yet
should foil the Republican leaders in
their scheme by doing jast what they did
not intend for us to do—to commit
sets of violence npon any citizen. We
shonld maintain a peace and dignity that
will not only call forth the admiration of
the American people, but contribute to
the overwhelming defeat of the Repub
lican party iu 1876.
A report is afloat of a lively en
counter between General Bntler and
Judge Poland. The Jndge was very
naturally indignant at Butler’s interfe
rence with bis parliamentary rights, in
calling up the mo*ion to reconsider tbe
vote by which the resolution reported by
him from the Arkansas Committee was
recommitted. Poland informed him
sharply that he conld attend to bis own
business without the General’s aid. But
ler retorted that be had reason to believo
that Poland did not mean to call np the
Arkansas report. Poland wanted to
know what reason Butler had to believe
it, and the latter replied that he had in
formation from Mr. Blaine leading him
to thaCconclnrion. The Jndge, who had
waxed very warm, expressed bis firm
conviction that Butler had received no
snch information. “ Then yon mean to
say I state what is not true ?” raid the
General. “I mean to say you are a d—d
liar,” cried Poland, hotly. “That ia
pretty talk," returned Bntler, “bnt it
deen’t require mnch ednrage to say it. 1
I “never pretended to have much," was
the retort, as the Judge moved away,
'and there is certainly no occasion fo r
the display of any'in this case."
