A BohimUc Story Connected With Hi*
Marriage
There is, says a Philadelphia special
of January 39, a romantic story con
nected with the courtship and mar
riage to his octoroon wife of Congress
man Mackey, of South Carolina, who
died in Washington Monday. Mr*.
Mackey’s father was a white maxi—one
of the celebrated Sumpter family of
South Carolina—ans her Mother, a
quadroon, was Cecilia Preston, a sister
of William Preston, turnkey at the
Nineteenth-district police station iu
this city. Congressman Mackey first
met his future wife, Vickey Sumpter,
when she was a girl of 12 vears and
be a man of 23. At that time she was
a child of great beauty,- but without
any education. Mr. Mackey feii in
lore with her at first sight and deter
mined to make her bis wife. He
Sained her mother’s consent and tent
e girl to Oberlin College, Ohio, to
be ed seated at hit expense, that she
migbt.be fitted to become his wife.
She paseed nearly five year* at Ober
lin, diligently pursuing her studies
tad corresponding with Mr. Mackey,
but never seeing him until the day
before she was to be graduated. Her
vacalieu had been spent in Philadel
phia with her uncle, William Pres
ton, with whom her mother and
yoHitgor sister resided. In tbe apring
ef 1874, when site was to be gradua
ted, Mr.kackey came on from Charles
ton and took Miss Sumpter’s moth
eron to Oberlin to witness th* Com
meneemeat exercises and to bring
Miss Vickay home. When Mr.
Msckey met her there after the five
years’separation, she had grown, if
possible, more beautiful. She was
highly accomplished, and received
her diploma with honors, after which
Mr. Mackey, tig young lady and her
mother camrio Washington, and
slopped at tbe Continental Hotel.
That evening Bishop Simpson was
sent for and the young couple were
married in the parlor. The only wit.
nesses to the ceremony were the
bride’s *gpther, her young sister Ro
salie, and William Preston, her uncle.
Mrs. Mackey has three children, who,
like herself, are blondes. Two or the
sons of the late Congressman, who
are students at Maplewood Institute,
Concord villi). Pa., received a telegram
to-day celling (hem to Arlington.

On Thursday last Charles Cope, tho
nineteen year-o'd-son of Charles Cope,
Sr., a wealthy gentleman residing on
Roland avaiiue, Baltimore, and Mtii
Mary Porter, of the same age, aud
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 father, and, being taking
before Justice Dorsey, was committed
lo tho House of Refugoas incorrigible
and beyond his father’s control. The
lad obtained a writ of habeas corpus
and expected lo be released. Al
though the young wife is a Catholic
and Iter husband is a protestant, it is
thought that his father's objection is
founded upon the poverty of the
family.
