The Petersburg Intclhgeneer reproduces n
precious moroccan from the pen of Mr. Wise. in
1888. Passing through that city, on his way
to the White Sulphur, he was invited by the
Wings to partake of public dinner. His en-
gagements and health did not admit of his nc
cepting the oompliment-but he replied TO the
invitation, in characteristic letter, expressing
his grateful surprise at snch a manifestation of
regard, "in land of strangers" But he
says. "Hhigs knole each other ny THE INSTINCTS
OF GENTLEMEN AND OF PATRIOTS" He SAYS he
hardly dares decline to "name IA day for the cloth
to be spread. around whose board we should
learn to know each other better and pledge 10 be
better Wings than now are even in the day
of our eountry's trial" He hopes that God will
spare him TO meet them again. as brethren of
the same faith and the same fathers, in tho meat
and drink of a Wing dinner, 10 gather new
strength aud catch new inspiration in cause of
which every patriot should be proud, and in which
every pirginian should Rerer tire" The Intel
ligencer reminds Mr.. Wise that this is his first
appearance among them since this promise was
made, and calls upon him to fulfill his long sus-
pended engagement. Meanwhile, we commend
to the amiable consideration of our democratic
friends the means by which Mr.. Wise was accus-
TONED to recognize Wings, and the deduction as
to the opposite means by which he recognized
Democrats.

Griswold, in his Republican Court " relates
the following anccdote of Washington;
Edmund Randolph had been an object of Wash
mgtons kindly interest from his youth his pow
ertul influence had caused him to he elected Goy-
cnor of Virginia; he Ind appoint ii him success
sively Attorney General and Secretary of State,
and had treated him in every wny with unlimited
confidence and almost parental tondness. The
Nuga and violent abuse with which he was as
sailed in the disgraced minister's " indicntion,'
therefore inccnscd HIM to nm extraordinary de
gree; the occasion WIS one of those IN which his
feelings for Il moment obtained n mastery oven
his hnbitunl self control. We have from unques-
tionahe authority an nnccdote illustrating this,
which has not been hitherto Published. L pom
the settlement of the boundary between Penn
sylvnuia and Virginia some OF Nashngton'a
lands fell within the former Stnte, and the late
Mr. james Ross. of pitshurg, was his agent for
the sale of them. lie came to Philadelphia Ia
settle his account. and sending word 10 the Pres,
deni that he would whit ON him mt his pleasure,
was invited 10 breakfast the next morning. On
arriving he found all the ladies-the Custises,
the Lewiscs, Mrs. Washington and othcrs--in
the paror, obviously IN great alarm. MIR. Ross
described them as gathered together III the mid
die of the room, like II flock of cartridges in
field when II hawk is in the ueghborhood. Very
soon the President entered. and shook hands
with Mr. Ross, but looked dark and lowering.
They went into breakfast; and after II little
while tho Secretary of War came in, and said to
Washington, :" Have you seen MIR. Randolph's
pamphlet {" IL have, said Washington. q" and,
by the eternal God, he is the damndest liar on
the face of the earth p" and he spoke ho
brought his fist down upon the table with all his
strength. and with violence which made the
cups and plates start from their places. Ross
said he felt infinitely relieved, for he had feared
that something in his own conduct had occasion
ed the blackncss in the Presidents countenunce.
The latc Chief Justice Gibson had this from
Ross himself; and he mentioned it at the house
of the late Mrs. John b. Wallace, OF Philadel-
phia, as showing that, naturally, Washington
was man of extraordinary passions and scnsi-
bilities.

The Trial of George ". Green, n wealthy cit
izcn of Chicago for the murder of his wife, II alb
sorbing tic attention of the people of that city.
The posiion and standing of the accused lend II
very great interest Ia the proceedings, and the
court room is constantly crowded. The Demo
crnt SAYS that during the iireo days spent IN
getting jury, Green appeared much detected,
as his fellow citizens one after another camc up
and declared that they could not serve on thcJn
ry, ms their minds were made up on the merits
of the case. Tho man visibly appeared to grow
wears older in these three days. His eyes be
gan to sink in his hcad and his detection to be
extreme. However, as the testimony progressed
he began to brighten up good deal. At the
close of DIR. Birds testimony ho appeared Nls-
bly, relieved, and acted if great load had been
taken from OH his heart. Tho case is conducted
with great tact aud skill 10y his counsel. SO far
they hive felt every step of their way nnd fought
every inch of the ground with pertinaoty and
ablit, which assure the prisoner Of the iuct Tint
hc is well defended
One Cd his Sous, twenty years of age, tcsidoa
that he had left his father house two ycnr4 pre-
yious on aceoaut of his fathers nratnent to his
mother. Mr.. Green had behaved very badly t.
her and upon one occasion Ind knocked he.
down with his fist. Another son IF the pr >one.
twenty three years OF ngc, testified that the ne
cusod had often whipped the deceased, and had
threatened To poison her. He heard hor say that
Mr. Green had attempted to poised her. Ii
had seen the prisoner knock her down aud bea
her. The testimony elected from two sisters o
the deceased, Mrs. Noble and Mr.. Blanc, wa
much 10 the same effect rs the sons showing
that he had expressed great affection fr ON
of them, and had often wished TINT his wife wa
out of the way.

come out and acknowledge or repel the allegation.
Would it not be well enough for the Enquirer to

Naturalization

Public attention is everywhere turned TO the
naturalization laws. Judge Clinton. OF the sn-
perior Court Of Buffalo, agrees with Judge Dean
and holds that the law is not properly admins
tered unless the court itself, 10 its satisfaction
receive proof that the applicant, for five years
next preceding his application, "has behaved a.
u man of good moral character, attached to the
principles of the Constitution of the United
States, aud well disposed TO the happiness AMI
good order of the same," and that the court can-
not delegate to the clerk the power of determine
ing upon the suiliciency of the testimony. There
is good sense in these decisions, and no intellt-
gent alien can object 10 them. Hitherto, in INA
ny Of the courts the subject of manufacturing
American citizens has been given over to the
clerks. The Judges have, generally. been rcgu.

HAMpToN's VEGETABLE TINcTURE. By its
mild actions on the stomach, liver and the kidneys,
will cure dyspepsia, cough, asthma. bronchial and
lung affections; pains in the back, side and breast:
consumptiom scrofla, rheumatism, govt, neuralgia,
fstula, piles, boarel complaints aoornls and nervous
debihties-with all diseases arising from impure
blood, and is the greatest female medicine ever
known. This invaluable medicine is working Won
ders upon the human frame. The letter which we
publish to-day will be read with great interest by
the afflicted. We lately had conversation with
venerable clergyman of this city who detailed to Us
the particulars of most remarkable cure effected
by this medicine upon woman who had for years
been sorely afflicted with scrofulous affection.
Similar statements from like reliable authority
prove beyond all doubt, that there is virtue in
Hampton's Vegetable 1incture, which be found
in no other Observation-Disclosures Republican and
