HER PRAYER "a. GRANT
Chicago Times.

Na~-E4 1880
i poor Wisconsin woman has been con-
hIinE her troubles to the tender mercies of
the President. She Lost a husband during
the war, and writes a long letter to the
President about il. The r%everential man
ner used by her in addressing the President
solves the question how far dis ant O1e gfll
have to be, In order to regard the President
as a god. The following IS her letter:
"Mr. Grant, President of the United
States; also our good father Of our cOuntry,
and for thc last few years until now, this
present day, IS being u care on this earth
Dear Sir: Please do not refuse to hear
the complain Of a poor widOw-one who
have lost heI husband in the army during
the war Of 1862, for her distress. / beg
pardon Of your honorable power not to
reject the answer Of these few lines. The
obiac. Of these few wOrds are great to the
poor widow. Dear father of our country,
in care Of so many people, l present myself
not in body but AL ms heart before your
powerful and pOliteness, with the wish and
hope that you would not condemn me-.
With the hope of God l pray that you viii
pity the Crieve Of a desOlate widow, one
who give her dear husband volunteer sol
der for the glory Of Our county. Oh, dear
father Of the union country, be also the
father Of a poor widow, one trembles before
your name. Oh, good God, me give health
in this gloomy world, and strength to sup
port my regret and despair, so l can have
or receive a word from the honorable Pres
ident Of the United States. But no, no, I
must be mistaken. Ny lord would not
herr prayer Of poor woman"
The closing line Of the letter is evidently
inspired.

EvARTs' Fatal ADMISSION.
New York Sun. Nav 3.

IT, -NaA '@AA --NL "a
The defense in the Beecher case has
rested without calling either Mr.. Bowen
or Mrs. Tilton. ThefOrmer was an en-
tirely competent witness, to whose APP
pearance on the stand no legal objec-
ton could have been made. The latter
might have given her testimony by
consent Of all parties. Tilton's lawyers
made the square offer 10 accept her as
"a witness for Bcecher, and let her testi-
fy under the ordinary rules IF evidence,
as # she were not the wife Of their
client. Beecher's counsel refused to
take advantage If the offer, Mr.. Evarts
excusiug their refusal IN remarks which
we T forced to regard as himsy to the
last degree.
The same eloquent counsel, at an
early stage Of the trial, aroused public
sympathy for this accused wife, silanced
Iy the law from speaking In her own
behalf, and the UniYCrsalfeeling has al
along been that 1t was only Just and
fair that she should have an o]pp0TJUni-
ty 10 appear on the witness stand, from
which her husband lad told his story Of
her infdelity, AID her alleged paramour
had sworn away all guilt on his part,
and east on her feeble shoulders what
little fault there was IN his relations
with her. Yet after stirring the popu-
lar heart by eloquent denunciation of
the husband, who essayed @ -estIfy TO
her injury, while she must be dumb,
lIr. Evarts a~stOnIshes the public, and
must bitterly cisapPoint the hopes Of
Alr. Beecher's friends, by declining to
take advantage Of Mr.. Beach's offer TO
allow the object of this sympathy to be
sworn and examined.
1t is not for US to discuss the tactics
Of the counsel In this case on either
side, but this treatment Of hrs. Tlton
Is a subject larger than the mere legal
Investigation. Il touches mems sense
Of justice, and tends to fasten their
conviction Of the Plymouth pastors
guilt. If AIr. Beecbcr was so ready
without her husbands knowledge TO
bring this wife before the secret tribunal
OF bis 0wu society, and under his con-
trol, there TO cast repUoach On TIE hus-
band and clear the skirts Of the accused
paramount. why is he now unwilling to
brilg her before the tribunal of the
law 10 again tell her ezculpatOry story
under the ordinary rules Il evidence:
This Is a question we can assure Mr..
Beecher's friends that every reader of
TIE proceedings of the trial Oh Friday
viii ask himself; and answer viii be
because the defendant dare not do It.

Moo law and tlie Theory Of Equal
RiShfs-Fhe Moral Of the Nashville
Tragedy.
II. y Rs Tennessee Letter in the Cincinnati
Commercial.
While 1t is very true that those who
murdered the prisoner are themselves
guilty Of murder, and deserve to be
punished, yet nothing Will ever be done
about it. If a negro commits a crime
Of peculiar atrocity upon a white per-
son, he is almost sure to meet with
death at the hands Of mob, and the
mob IS as sure to escape punishment.
This is true not only in the South, but
the world over where two separate and
distinct races Inhabitl the same
territory. IL is the case IN Cali
fornia, as between Cinnamon and
the whites, and in the Northwest,
as between the Indians and the whites.
In Northern Minnesota, if an Indian
kills q white man, he swings FOR 1t very
quick; but if & white man kills an
Indian, the case is managed much as
it is here when a white man kills a ne
Gro. The world over the spirit is the
same, the members Of the weak races
exist among us to a disadvantage. We
talk endlessly about equal rights, but
there is no such thing when a weaker
race Is involved. While l was in Mn
nesota, three years ago, / learned OF
the brutal murder by a mob, Of two
Indians, at Brainard, who were con-
fined in Jail on charge Of rape. The
case against them was by 40 means
clear, but, as IN the South, the mob
wanted blood, and blood they had.
A negro who commits this crime in
the South rarely gets as far as the Jail.
Vengeance Is swift and certain, and
the mObs VINO turn eXecutIOuers are up
held by public opinion. There was a
case Of the sort IN the Upperpart Of the
State last year, and the negro, as usual,
was swung to a limb without Judge or
Jury. The District Attorney was a
Republican, and by some means the ru-
NOR had currency that ne would ndlct
the members Of the mob This brought
from him a card, in which he declared
that the report was a base Islander"
and that, so far from prosecuting any
iadF t0r hanging a negro who had
committed he would himself help
to pull the rope and swing the %EelaA
from a limb.
What's to be done? Under our form
Of government nothing EXCEPT to ele-
-ate and educate public sentiment. As
long as the two races inuabit the same
territory. if ore Of the blacks commits
an atrOcious crime upon one Of the
whites he viii almost surely suffer vIo-
lent death at the hands Of anrexaspe-
rated mob. On the other hand, If one

THERE is said to be a growing cool
ness between the President and Secre-
tary Bristow, Of the Treasury. This
arises from the indiscreet warmth Of
the latter's friends who begin 10 speak
OF hin as a promising Presidential as
puant. Tall Kentuckians stand about
the hotels, advocating the claims Of
"the man who is hoDor-a perfect gen
tleman. sir. and a man who has back
bone, sir" Bristow feels too highly
fattered TO stop this buzz, and it may
cost him his official head. Congress
man Packer, of PENNSYLVANIA, is among
the more demonstrativC admirers Of the
Kentuckian.

The beauties Of Credit MobiIier
management have been again illustra-
ted, by the late wash-out on the Union
Pacific. The embankments which were
swept away consisted of loose soil and
alkah dust, which becomes mere mud
when water pours upon it. No "rag-
ing torrent" isneededto sweep it away.
The culverts, too, are altogether too
small, and wretchedly built. 1t is this
sort Of sham which was certified by
dishonest officials to be a "frst-class
