PHNCHBACK.
a PEN Sketch and n story
About Him.

Every one who reads has heard
of Pinchback, the newly elected but
not yet admitted United States sem
ator from Louisiana. For a year or
more his name has been constantly
before the public, which is treated
to a description of his personal APP
pearance by the Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Globe,
who-as Mr.. Lincoln would have
done-tells a 'slittle story" of the
distinguished gentleman. Hear the
correspondent:
Pinchback is of medium height,
rather slightly made, while his skin
is but very little tinged with the
shadow of what he would gladly
obliterate if he could. His head has
the curious negro formation, the
broad, high forehead receding till it
meets the line of the waVy hair.
This is very closely cut and oiled,
till the gloss is Interestingly greasy.
His eyes have an unmistakably At
rican look, but the thick Tipped
mouth spoils everything with its
incessant smile. / have never seen
him without that disagreagle smirk.
If it would be content to linger
around the lips it might be endura-
BILE, but it climbs up into the rest

it, and quote Shakespeare on smil.
ing Williams, mentally, If not orally.
The mustache is long, meeting the
beard, which is also long and care
fully trimmed to q point. At this
he is constantly pulling. as if he
would gladly straighten it utterly.
His dress is fanltless from the pol
ish of the delicate linen collar and
cuffs to the equally perfect shine of
the boots that fit too nicely for the
tell tale foot is not shaped after the
purest Caucasian models. When
standing among other men, and
wearing his hat, almost any one
would call him Spanish or French.
This fact reminds me of q story,
apropos just here: Pinchback was
dining al the Ebbet house a year
ago, with q quartet, one of whom
was g Newspaper man." The par
ty attracted the attention of every
one by their apparently unlimited
enjoyment. Very few dreamed who
the stranger could be, and when, af-
ter dinner, the neWsy individual
sought the parlor to speak to some
young ladies, the dear creatures i'm
mediately beset him to know who
had been his distinguished friend"
DID You ever know q newspaper
man at fault for an explanation ? B.
cleared his throat wonder if his
conscience is clear yet7-and ex.
planned after this manner: "You

"Of course we do we know all the

ated such q sensation as the Senior
will make before the week is over.
He is immensely rich and it will be
a shame if he gets away from Wash
ington without taking an American
wife TO show him how to spend his
money!"
OF course the dsmsels blushed,
but begged Mr.. B. to present the
distinguished foreigner as soon as
possible. The mendacious wretch
promised, and then finding his emo
ton uncomfortable, walked off,
where he could safely laugh it out.
When the girls discovered that
they had been regularly sold, there
was great wrath and Indignation,
but one of them, an exquisite Ken
lucky belle, tossed her lovely head,
exclaiming: 81 don't care! He is
nice looking, and has made himself
more famous than most of the white
men that know, and l shall be in
troduced." Her papa knew better.

81 100000. All of these 700 ten
ants have been visited during this
week. Astors's collectors are men
of brief language. All that nee,ls
to be done is to utter the cabaiis-
tic words ,scheck for the rent"
and delays are taken with ill
grace. The reply is, ave can not
be running twice-too much to
do" Indeed, if people want to
hold Astor's property they must
be ready with the money. The
rent roll is said to fill thirty pages
of writing paper. Even the im-
dorsement of the checks is no
small task. Old William b. was
wont to do this until extreme age
infecbled his hand. How many
thousand checks has he endorsed
with his potential name! The
Astcr land Office has received in
this manner during the past week
nearly 100000, and all is not yet
collected. This money is deposit
ed in the Bank of New York, the
Chemical Bank, aud other old
fashioned institutions, and will
soon be reinvested in good secnri-
ties.
THE SPRING BATTLE.
After the landlord has collected
his rents, the quarterly excitement
abates and the painful thought re-
ours, 81 must wait three months
before l can get any more" But
the quarter-day of which 1 have
spoken has opened a conflict be-
tween landlords and tenants in re-
gard to rent. The latter demand
reduction corresponding with
the times. This will in some cas-
es be conceded, while in others it
will be denied. Rents in high
priced places must decline heavily.
The fact that a hundred millions
of rent is annually paid on this
little island is astonishing and
this immense tax should be reduc-
ed.
HOW ASTOR MANAGES.
Astor examines his rent roll ev-
cry season. Each house is exam
ined in detail, and he carefully
fixes the rent at as large a figure
as he thinks can be obtained. If
this be not offered, the house
stands vacant, for no second price
is allowed. If a tenant demand
repairs, he is referred to the car
penter, who reports the amount
necessary to be laid out, and this
is the ultimatum. AS in so large
an estate a number of houses
must be always vacant, one man is
detailed to look after them; he
keeps them in order, ready for &C.
cupation. l saw him to-day,
securing the door plate of viii
liam's former residence in Astor
Place, which is now to let. The
old man lived there thirty-seven
years, but last spring he NOV
ed up to the Fifth avenue, so
as to be near his son, John
Jacob. The old mansion
is of unusual size, being fifty
feet front. The rent demanded is
$4,000. and at this rate it will
stand empty. The prospect Of re-
duced rents is shown by the fact
that Edward Mathews (of whom
1 have spoken) offers offices in
thirty different buildings. This is
d large vacancy for one estate, and
there are other signs of a similar
character. KNICKERRoCKER.

learned, talented and very eloquent.
He was tall, handsome, grave and
commanding in his appearance.
His fame was in all places in which
he delivered sermons. His first
charge was at Maryviue, Blunt
county. His eloQuence was unfav-
orable to his staying long in any
one place. Attractive calls caused
him to go from place to place down
to the end of life.
Rev. Isaac Anderson was his snc-
cessor as pastor of Maryville church,
and continued as such during q long
period down to the end of his life.
He was leaned, talented and an
able speaker. He founded at that
village 3 seminary, in which he
taught both science and theology,
and brought a considerable number
of young men into the ministry,
who otherwise would have been
unable to enter the sacred Office.
Hence there is reason to believe
that he will have many stars in his
crown ofglory. He opened fount-
ain of life that is still flowing and
widening "a it goes, and, doubtless,
before time will end, Its influence
will have passed upon millions of

Another prominent member of
Union Presbytery was Charles Cof-
fin, D. D., president of Greenville
college. This institution was found
ed by ReY. Hizekiah Balch, who
went to New England and collected
funds for that purpose; and while
there he became a convert to a met
aphysical system of theology, first
taught by DIR. Hopkins and matur-
ed by DIR. Emons. After he return
ed home he propagated his new sem
timents with great zeal. He was
charged with holding those errors,
and was brought before the Synod,
and finally before the General AS
sembly. His errors were condemn
ed. He made some concessions and
promises, and there the matter end
ed. But he did not cease to believe
as before, and he zealOusly propa-
gated those doctrines to the time of
his death. President Coffin was
from New England, aud was a firm
believer in the doctrines taught by
Emons, and taught them to the stu
dents who were under his tuition.
Some of these students became
ministers and zealously propagated
those doctrines and caused them to
predominant in Union Presbytery.
The result was bitter controversy
of moro than thirty years. duration.
The actors in this long controversy
have passed away and the contro-
versy has ceased.
Rev. Robert Henderson, a promi-
nent member of Union Presbytery,
never introduced into his public
discourses any of those metaphysic-
al theories.
The ministers of Union Presby-
terry purchased two colored men
who were slaves, educated them
for the sacred Office. To one they
gave the name of John Gloucester,
and to the other that of George
Erskin. John was very eloquent
and travelled extensively and preach
ed to both white and colored people
with a high degree of popularity.
He became pastor of a colored
church in Philadelphia, and, aft
er some years. service, died.
George Erskin was an able preach
er, and after serving a white church
in Tennessee short time, emigrat-
ed to Liberia and died soon after
his arrival there.
