HAHN PACHA'S CASE.
The PcrsecutiOns Of the viceroy.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The NEW YORK HERALD OF June 25 contains the
protest addressed by Hahn Pacha the representa-
tves of foreign Powers in relation to the prosecutions
to which he is subjected by his nephew, Ismail
Pacha, the present Viceroy OF Egypt Hahn Pacha
Is the only surviving son Of the celebrated Mehemet
ALI and If 1t had not been for the tricks Of diplomacy
he would be viceroy OF Egypt as the Of his
father. Hence the jealousy Of Ismail Pacha ntensi-
fed by the fact that Hahn is revered and beloved by
the people on account OF his admirable qualities Of
mind and heart, his answering integrity and the
frugality and simplicity Of his life. This jealousy
OF the viceroy against his iliustrious uncle has
lately degenerated into systematic persecution
against him. which Ii carried out with all the
not little to rouse public opinion against Moslem
rule. The Sultan and Fuad Pacha himself are
highly dspleased with the conduct OF the viceroy,
inasmuch as 10 throws odium upon the whole en-
pre Of Islam and Ia used by Christian Powers a.
argument against the possibility Of the extinction Of
what exasperates still more the friends OF civza-
ton in the East and at the same time the admirers
OF the worthy Hahn Pasha Is the circumstance that
not satisfied with having made this prince the vic
tim OF all sort and manner Of snares, the Viceroy
determined to drive him from his palace OF Choubra
on acc1aa OF s sa ia aG @ an
visitors of Cairo AS Hahn declined to leave
q palace which belongs to him and which the
VicerOy wishes TO despO him OF for the purpose OF
converting 1t into his harem, his ighness orders the
road leading to the palace TO be destroyed thus not
only virtually making his uncle prisoner In his
own house, but also running the neighbOrng
farmers whose produce is thus deprived of che
only road that brings 1t to the market and realizes
Its value.
This matter has created painful sensation, and
all the representatives OF the foreign Powers in
dIgnant against the vicer0y; but who unfortunately
il supported by certain pachas who rose TO power
from the lowest strata OF society, and who are bent
on the ruin Of Hahn Pacha because he sets the
example OF progress and civilization, his palace
being filled with agricultural and industrial ma
chinery while their palaces and that Of the Vceroy
are filled only with the thousands OF their Caucasian
slaves and victims OF their lust
As an old resident OF Egypt think 1t right to bring
these facts " your knowledge and that OF you

The New York Erening Post puts seymour's
majority In that State at GIGS; tho CONNER
eial advertiser at 1874; and the Albany Jour
nal at s807.
The New York Sun says that, As near IS can
now b ascertained. General Grants majority
over Governor Seymour on the popular vote Is
about 5000. This Is the largest majority
ever obtained over all his opponents BY any
Presidential candidate, with one exception.
That exception was In 1854. when Mr.. Lincoln
received 4ll,2sl majority over General Nc
Clellan. But this was an extraordinary occas-
ion, since, because Of the rebellion. eleven States
did not vote at all. In 1882. when according to
the traditional belief, General jackson carried
the country Overw helmingly against Mr.. Clay,
he received popular majority ofabout 100000.
In 1880, when General Harrison was regarded
as having swept the field. he only got $4,000
over Mr.. Van Buren,.
Lewis Barker said In his speech at Brooklyn.
that the Republican carpet Dagger was one who

fully appreciates II. She Is q remarkably hale
and happy old lady, and rejoices In quiet way
over the success Of her son.
Her only desire for his advancement seems to
be that he may be placed In q position to do more
good. At the age Of fifteen she was married to
Schuyler Colfax the elder. At the age Of seven
teen she was left widow, with one child. Four
months after the death Of his father, Schuyler
was born. The elder child died In infancy.
Some years later Mrs. Colfax was married to
Mr.. Matthews. Nearly thirty years ago the
young couple. with little Schuyler and other
children that had been born to them, removed
to New Carlisle, L,porte county, Indiana.
Since the death Of the wife Of Schuyler Colfax
his mother has presided over his home In WASH
