Three Remarkable Widows

Three remarkable widows are living II
New York. The frat is Mrs. John j
Crittenden. tail, handsome and stately, in
tpiendid health, and always fnagnifcently
dressed. The second is Mrs. Daniel Web
ster, not-se well preserved, nor so young
but still q noticeable lady. The last is
Mrs. Major General Phillip Kearney, a
magnificent woman in respect to appearance
with much natural beauty and q good deal
faose that is artificial. Gen. Kearny, il
will be remembered, left two widows--eacl
ofwhom was designated in his will as his
secord wife. This was his second wife, fol
meTly o Miss Maxwell, daughter of Hon;
Hugh Maxwell, former collector of this
port, and distinguished merchant. The
first Mrs. Kearny was Miss Diana Cuthbert
Ballitt, Of Louisville, Kentucky, of New
Orleans, and an estimable lady. While she
was still living, KearneT saw and admired
Miss Maxwell, and she admired him. 'rhe
two went to Europe together. and after
heiAg gene ahoHt year. during which q
Buit for divorce from the first Mrs. Kearny
vas prosecuted and obtained by some means
returned and were married. When Kearny
was killed, his estate was left tohis second
wife, With a.provisioa Of eighty thousand
dollars to Mrs. Kearhey, nee Bellitt, and
the same to each, other children. Mrs
hcarny, nee Maxwell. is living here in fine
style. She is said to be very charitable
aud takes great interest in the welfare O
soldiers and their families. She is a bean
sijul woman still. and is much coarted ant
admired. = N. Y. Correspondent.

Letter from Gen. Early.

Gen. Early writes. from Havana, iinde,
ldate OF December 18th, to the New York
News. as follows: Having seen it stated
in several papers published in the United
States that ] am an applicant for pardon
Il desire to say through your columns that
THERE'S no truth whatever in this statement.
1 have neither made nor authorized such
duplication, and would not accept pardon
from the President Of the United States
III gratuitously rendered me without condi-
tons or restrictions of any kind. / have
notmngto regret in the course pursued By
me during the late war; except that my ser.
vices We're not of more avail to the cause
Tor which thought; and my faith in the
Justice of that cause is not ut all shaken by
the result. | have not given parole or
incarred any obligationt to the authorities
OF the United States, and ! utterly disclaim
all allegiance to, or dependence upon, the
Government Of that country I'm a voluh-
tary exile from my own country, because j
am not willing to submit to the foreign
yoke imposed upon it. All declarations
attributed to me which are inconsistent
with the above statement are entirely with.
out foundation. and hope there will be no
further misapprehebsion as to my position.

spE CouLD'yr SrAxD IA gentleman,
resident ola city not d Thousand miles from
New York, had the exdberent fortune Of
five consecutive wives He had buried
them. one after another, lib death made its
demands upon them, and three or four Of
them happened to be in different places, at
distance from each other. Two or three Of
them were in different towns. TO recon
Gle his sense of sacredness with his sense
OF order and numerical unity, he started one
day on a tour ofcolection to bury them all
in one place. lie mounted the wagon him
self, and drove around till he had got them
all together in one load, and then. as fate
would have it, was obliged to drive by the
house where the lady Of his present ad-
dresses, to whom he had offered himself, was
sitting at the open window. Seeing her
sitting there, he bowed to her. as any gen.
|tleman would. as he drove.hy With his pre-
cious load of FIVE collins with their contents.
1t was too much for the lady; she declared
she never would have him, and has to this
day kept her word.

The Trial Of Mr.. Davis,

Klnderhook, q Washington letter writer
for the New Orleans Picayune, thus writes
to that paper Of a recent date:
Before Congress adjourned for the holi.
days there was a good deal of discussion
among the members III regard to the case
of jefferson Davis. When the question iii
relation to his trial comes up, there win be
a strong party, both in the Senate and the
House. in favor ofhaving him Immediately
set at liberty. without trial: and this par
y Will be composed ofas many Republicans
as Democrats. Even those members who
are in favor of having Mr.. Davis tried in
the civil courts, do not think he can be con.
vlcted OF treason. ] understand that seve.
ral speeches will be delivered by prominent
members, in favor of immediate release.
The ground upon which such action will be
based, | understand to be as follows:
1t will be argued that the, oGencesof Mn.
DAVIS is purely political, tapid that political
offences ought not to be punished with
death. Modern history is rich in illtstra-
trions Of this rule, and they will be adduced
freely. It is founded hpoh the fact thai
such acts as those alleged against jefferson,
Davis do not originate in moral wrong, but
IN differences of political opinion: that
they often result in success; and that when
they are Successful. they receive TIE fastint
admiration of mankind. Washington was
rebel and traitor in precisely the same
legal sense as Mr.. Davis. Charles T of
England. and Louis of France, were tried
and executed for treason. and the univer-
sal decision Of modern times has cohden,n-
ed those executions as unwise and cruel.
nose executions will always remain as the
blots and stains upon the history Of those
two nations.
Such is the line of argument that will be
used. And tits even said that some men
OF the Stevens school will take the ground
that as the Coafederacy was foreign ma
ton, therefore we. cannot punish the head
of a foreign nation for treason against our
government.

aes- A Washington special to the South.


asAl- A Washington special to the South
crn Star of the 18th says:
The advocates Of negro suffrage il, the
House, admit that they speak for buncombe,
rather than with the expectation that they
can force the South to allow eolored men to
vote.
Negro delegates are coming here occa:
sionally, to influence Congress on the suf
srage question. They sit In the galleries
and look on. One is expected here soon
from Louisiana, to help Warmoth.
They are enjoying themselves hugely, at
the expense, they say, of the plantation
bands and other negroes who invest in
them.
Revendy Jollnson's speech against the
appointment Of Provisional Governors for
Che South is highly commended.

A SCRAP FOR THE HlsToRIaS.-While
Gen. Butler is writing his reply to Gen.
Grant. let him,not forget to insert con-
versation between himself and an able Off
Ger whichis not unknown in army circles.
An expedition was planned against
Richmond. Butler observed to the propo-
sed leader, " You must leave nothing OF
Richmond. DO you mean, seriously, de-
stroy the city," 9 Yes, and have the
ground plowed up" The officer addressed
replied, I" am not the MAJ, for the expedi-
ton Yes, yon are; you are just the
man." There must be according to num-
bcrs, at least one thousand children, one
thousand aged and decrepit persons, and
one thousand women big with child. These
helpless persons must all perish if fire the
city, and, setting aside all prohptings Of
humanity, do not care to go down to pos
terity with that load Of infany upon ME. "
Better go down that way than not go ut
|all." & N. Y. World.

Sumner and Stevens the Radical
Chiefs.

4
With criditale candor, The Tribune re-
Dukes MIR Charles Sumner for incident ram
cor with which his lieentious tongue as
sailed the Presidents Message This man
Is frantic with the rage ofsectional malice:
and like crazy Indian, he RUNS, a-muck
against the South and all who are not smit-
ten with the fury ofhis E.natcism. If then,
reason be an attribute of craftsmanship, the
Massachusetts Senator is not entitled to
that distinction. He proposes no rational
0b)ect---he pursues no consistent cohdhct.
He is all passion and prejudice, and his
lcounsels are. the incoherent utterances Of a
mailman. Happily, the force of his intel
lect is not proportioned to his mischieyeous
disposition: otherwise the coantry might
suffer serious detriheht from his cccentrici-
ties. People regard him with pity rather
than apprehension; and when they recolect
the incident which SO inhames him against
the South they are disposed to pardon
something to the rescn t,nent Of chastised
and humilisting spirit. 7.
His confederate in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes is equally under the dominion of
personal vindictivefess. Mr. Thaddeus
Stevens Is naturally not ah il-natured per
son; but the c6haagratidh Of his iron works
By the Confederate soldiery has kindled
q flame in his bosom which the frost of four
score years cannot mitigate, much less ex-
! tinguished. "That way madness les and
the poor old h,ah never reverts to the ruin
of his fortune, bat his reason stagggers, and
his unbridlcd passion runs into an excess Of
frenzied yituperation. 1t is q sorrowful
spectacle. Will not the old mans people
remove him from theater upon which he
exposes his intirmities to the pity of
friends and the derision ofenemies? Chari-
ty for our common nature pleSas that he be
scquestcred from public observation.
Now these are the leaders of the Radical
faction. Here are the men, who, above all
others, stand in the way of q prompt and
pacific restoration Of the Union. The one
a charlatan in literature, and pretender in
politics-without profound thought, with
out accurate reading; endowed with some
facility ofsonorous speech. but bereft of all
reason, and utterly infected with the venom
of personal maHgnt5. The ether an aged
aged and inRrm person whose intellect, al
ready impaired by years. has been shattered
by sense of that particular sort of injury
which is least capable Of forgetting or for
giving mean an itfiKtion of pecuniary
damage. These are the individuals whose
counsels, if needed, would precipitate the
nation on irTapa1abic rafh. These are the
representative men Of the Republican party.
These are the leaders Of the Radical fac
ton. These are the Arch isunonists
