HATCH'S CASTLE.
Tho gray granite castle that
steeds in uboet the centre of the
hillside village of Tarrytown, says
a New York letter, was built by Mr.
A. \Y. Dimock, of Dimoek \ Co.,
who recently suspended. Five
years ago Mr. Dimock sold it to
Mr. A. S. Hatch, ot the drill of Fisk
A Hatch, which recently collapsed,
bringing down in its ruins the New
ark Rank and causing jintold mis.
ery among the poor depositors in
Hint concern.
That Mr. Hatch’s residence is
really Ilia castle from turret to foun-
d.tion stone no one will doubt. It
looks, standing among the dwarfs
of country cottages, as though Mr.
Dimock had gone to Tarrytown one
day with laborers, mechanics and
artists and ordered them to build

n. b. hatch’s mansion,
Mr Daniel B. Hatch, of tho sus
pended Arm of Ilntcli A Foote, for
merly bankers at No. 12 Wall
street, continues to reside in his
splendid four-story brown stone
mansion, No. 58 West Fifty-fourth
street, near Fifth avenue. It is
one of a row of buildings, all re-
markable for their size and fash
ionable exteriors, and its interior
decorations arc models of lavish
display of wealth. About 3 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon an elegant ba
rouche with glass windows in front
stood before the bouse. A pair ol
dashing brown steeds were harness
ed to tho vchicto, and a negro
coachman in livery sat on tho box!
■Some of tho family were about to
takoa drive in tho Park.
Columbia Heights is the most
fashionable section of Brooklyn,
and many wealthy New Yorkers—
bankers, brokers, merchants and
manufacturers—have their houses
there. Among the many desirable
sites for dwellings in this section is
Montague Terrace, which com
mands an expansive view of the
harbor, and in all other lcspccts is
regarded ns itnapproached by any
other street in Brooklyn. The
most magnificent dwelling in this
Is at the corner of Montague street
and the terrace, on the west side.
The buildings and grounds cover
an area of about a quarter of an
acre, and whilo there is no attempt
nt gorgeous display, the establish
ment is palatini in its appointments.
This is the home of George I. Sene
the late president of the Mctropoi
tun Bank. To strangers it is often
pointed out with pride as one of tho
most costly residences in the City
of Churches, and thousands who
pass and repnrs it daily going to
and from Wall street ferry have
admired its striking architectural
design and beauty of the well-kept
grounus with which it is sur
rounded.
orant’h home.
Gen. Grant still occupies the
four-story brown stone bouse, with
its bay-window front, which is the
first cast of Fiftli avenue, on the
north side of Sixty-sixth street. A
broad staircase leads to the costly
stained glass doors. If you ring a
colored footman conducts you to
the small reception room to tho
rightof tho exquisitely fresooedjeor-
ridor. This room is a gem in it
self. A heavy velvet carpet is on
tho floor, the walls arc hung with
fine paintings, and nt tho window
is a large bronze vase filled with
growing flowers. Further along
the corridor and turning to tho
left you pass through an archway
room which rich velvet hangings
depend into the spacious drawing
room. There the acme of luxury
and good taste seems to have been
reached in tho bright tinted carpets
and satin furniture of odd design.
There also are displayed the valua
ble presents received by the Gen-
cral from the sovereigns of foreign
Innds during his tour around the
world. The library, dining-room
and tho rooms up stairs, though
fitted up in less magnificent style,
display the same ovidcnce of wealth

of any other private owner in the
city.
ENO’S HOUSE.
Mr. John C. Kno, who specula
ted away $4,000,000 of the deposi
tors’ money while he was President
of the Second National Bank, still
resides in his mansion, No. 40 Park
avenue. It is in the centra ot the
Mock on the west side, between
Thirty-sixth and Thirty-scventb
streets, and is one of most impos
ing structures on the avenue. The
edifice is of brown stone; Ionian
columns of the same material rear
their massive fronts on cither side
of the broad entrance. The sills of
the parlor windows arc ornamented
with banks ot flowers. A tiled
vestibule leads into the carpeted
corridor, the walls of which arc
bung with rare paintings. To the
left of the corridor is the drawing
room, which Is divided into two

Northern Defenders of (he Koulli.
Northern men and Northoi n capi
tal aro so rapidly and largely lie-
coming incorperatcd into the social
and industrial system of the South,
that very soon we shall find the
defenders of this section of the
Union from the aspersions of its
enemies by no means confined to
native Southerners alone. Indeed,
it is already beginning to bo so.
And the time is near at hand, we
hope, when, wherever or however
the Southern people may he cari
catured ns they have been and ns
they arc, there will lie fair minded
and well-informed Northern men
ready to exposo the misrepresenta
tion with proof of its falsity derived
from their own personal experience
and observation.
The South, is misrepresented in
tho North, sometimes from a want
of information, and sometimes with
the deliberate purpose of keeping
alive the prejudices of that section
against this, for tho attainment of
selfish ends at the expense of pa
triotism, truth, justice, and welfare
of this whole country. The masses
ol the Northern pcoplo never read
the newspapers of the South; they
seldom bcc a Southern man, and
they are taught by the Northern
press to regard Southern sentiment
as tho reverse of what it is. This
state of things has gone on for
years; but, at last, and fortunately
for both sections, there is reason
to hope lor a'change. Tho resour
ces of tho South aro attracting
Northern capital, and Northern
capital brings along with it North
ern men. These men see for them
selves, and, having interests in tho
South, they soon find, naturally,
that in their Southern associations
they have Southern sympathies,
too. Thoy learn much of trutli and
they unlearn much of falsehood as
to tho characteristics of the South
ern people. They soon become de
fenders of the South. And they
are the best defenders the South
can have, tor they aro partial wit
nesses made impartial by a removal
of traditional prejudices and delu
sions through the agency of their
own intelligence pertinently ap
plied in practical inquiry and ob
servation.
Tbcro have been Northern-born
men conspicuous fortheir Southern-
ism before the war, during tho war
and sinco tho war. And with tho
extensien of Northern interests and
tiie increase of Northern settlers in
tha South, it will be irore and
more the fact that among the most
ardent defenders of the Southern
icoplc will be found tho just, the
irave, nud tbc ingenious men who
have como from tiie Northern into ing.

Not a Satisfactory Platform.
Tho New York Times, tiie lead
ing Republican paper of the coun
try, says that the “convention
might have made it worse platform,
for all things are possible under the
sun, but we do not see in what way
one could have been made much
more ridiculous than this. If Mr.
McKinley, of Ohio, and Mr. Charles
Emory Smith, of Pennsylvania, be,
as tha text of the platform indi
cates, the authors of Ibis precious
document, they are entitled to tbc
credit of producing a more artisti
cally absurd and insincere and
senseless hodge-podge than has dis
graced any party.”

Washington, June 0.—The beat
en Republican candidates express
dignified scquicscenco. Arthur,
Edmunds, Gresham and Haw'cy say
that they did not seek the honor
and aro not at all disappointed.
They predict tho success of the
ticket. Tho Demooratie revenue
reformers say that witli a good reve
nue reform plank and a good can
didate they will win,-with such a
candidate for example as Bayard.
The revenue reform leaders have
all been interviewed. They ail say
that they have no doubt of success
it the Democrats will but act wise
ly. The nomination of Logao is
thought to strengthen the tioket in
the West, bnt will not help Blaine
in the East.
Mr. Mon Ison said that Blaine
would make a strong candidate
in tho West; but that ho felt more
hopeful of a Democratic vlotory
•ban he had for a long time. The
Republican nomination rendered it
necessary for tho Democratic party
to put its best foot foremost, and
to nominate the best man on a plat
form setting forth in unequivooal
terms tho principles held by a ma
jority of the parly. The Democratic
platform must pronounce in favor
ol revenuo reform so clearly and
holdlv as to win for its candidate
'.ho confidence of the people.
Mr. Dorsheimer,of New York,
thought it folly to underestimate
the strength of the Republican
ticket. Still it could bo beaten.
In order to do this Hie Democratic
party must make itself strong on
tiie platform as well as in the can
didate. An omphatio declaration
in favor of revenue reform is abso
lutely necessary to offset the Jug
gling phrases of the Republican
platform.
Randall said that in order to suc
ceed it would be necessary to meet
the strong declaration for protec
tion in the Chicago platform with
a tariff plank which would give con
fidence to tho bnsincss interests of
the country. A free trade plsak
would mean defeat. Upon a proper
platform, a proper candidate could
easily defeat Blaine.
Speaker Carlisle regards Blaine’s
nomination as a triumph of the
worst elements of the Republican
pirty,buttho strength of tho tioket
among tho pcoplo must net lie un
derrated. To defeat it a hard fight
would be necessary, a fight made
on prinaiple by men ol tho highest
obaractcr. He said that the Demo
cratic Conviction mast boldly anil
directly declare in favor of revenuo
reform, and nominato a man iu
whom the majority of tho poopio
would have implicit confidence.
Such u candidate, on a fitting plat
form, would cosily defeat tho nomi
nees of the Republican party.
Eaton, of Connection^ said that
Blaine was a brilliant man who
would mako a brilliant campaign,
but that be would not have an un<
divided support of his party, and if
the Democrats acted wisely at Chi
cago he would not bo elected. The
Democrats must, however, give
such assurances in regard to tailff
revision as would givo tho peoples
neat reform which would not endan-
5 er tho interests of American in-
ustrics and American labor.
Tho Republican Morale.
Phllld.lpbls Tlmn (IuL)
The vagueness and confusion of
this mosaic platform would be
ludicrous if it were not so distress-
It is not a declaration of
principles; it is simply a bid for
votes, an attempt to promise every-
thing to everybody—except those
who only want good government
and a wise and dignified national
policy. For thcso tue platform
contains only words.
