that people of any class come out of

GOV. TILDEN.
The white House Will Not be without
Feminine Attractions.

Gov. Tilden, although not blessed
with wife, has the good fortune to be
80 compassed as not to feel the distress
OF bachelorhood very acutely, and his
home in Albany Is said to be as snug
and cosy as one could find throughout
the country. The members of the Gov
ernor's household at Albany are his sis
ter, Mrs. Pelton, sedate, matronly
widow lady; her son, Col. Pelton, and
his wife and daughter. the latter little
iady OF some twelve summers, who has
two years old. So it may be seen that
the bachelor Governor and prospectiye
bachelor President is rs pleasantly sur
rounded socially as most married gen
tlemen. He has his pets, and they all
seem to encourage and repay his kind
nesses. In the event of his election.
should such be the result of the coming
canvass, Mrs. Pelton could not fail to
prove as graceful and accomplished a
hostess in Washington, as she is uni
versally acknowledged to be here. She
has resided with the Governor since his
Inauguration, and, being as affable and
entertaining as he Is himself, she has
contributed in no small measure to the
enjoyment OF his guests. Mrs. Pelton,
though Of an extremely quiet and home.
loving disposition, Is an acknowledged
leader in Albany. In one notable re-
spect she deserves to be 50 regarded
that is in the extent and liberality of
her charitable donations. Her name
stands at the top Of many list OF CON
trlbutions, as, indeed, does the Gov
errors own name. Mrs. Col. Pelton is
New Jersey lady, whose maiden name
was Miss Dickerson. She, too, is pos
sessed OF winning manners that secure
neI the lasting regard of such as are
lortunete enough to number themselves

The establishment Of new military
district, including small portions Of Lou
isiana and Mississippi, under command
OF Col. Brooke, which excited surprise
by its incongruty. does not seem so in
congruous now that tho cat has been let
out of the bag. A prominent Radical
official In this city Is endeavoring to
propagate the belief that recently there
has been an immigration Of fourteen
thousand niger Uoters into Louisiana
from Mississippi, whence they have
been driven by oppression" That
such largo number of nigger Uoters
should have invaded our State within so
short time without not only attracting
attention, but creating alarm, is pre-
posterous. The Specification of this
evident intention to convince our people
that such is the case is only the fore
runner OF an attempt to colonies the
State q few days prior to the November
election, and the creation Of the new
military district ceases to be mystery,
since 1t may well be suspected that the
colonization Is intended to be perpe-
trated within its jurisdiction. Isn't

Hayes has put his foot In IT., he was

to indorse the Cincinnati programme

serves the continued hearty gratitude
