Who Was Gains ,wifsa:

The Rev. G. p, McCarty, who breaches
every Sunday in the University Building,
Washington Square;1New York, as Pastor
of what lis calledl the American Free
Church, endeayored to answer the ques-
tion of ittwho was Gains wife 2" Sunday
evening, February Is. he took his text
from the. fourth chapter Of Genesis, and
the seventeenth verse. The preacher
said that be had selected the peculiar
subject announced at the request of sew
eral members, of. his congregation.
Maintaining that the old theories IS to
the meaning Of the Bible stories had
ceased to be tenable, because of, the iu-
creased light of science, he said that the
theory held by many as to who was Gains
wife would also have to be abandoned.
"The orthodox answer to the question"
said he, ''is, perhaps, Cain married his
sister. We'll, Idon't think hedid. Now,
l am not going to shirk the answering of
this question. 1 have a theory Of our
race which others do not believe in.
Nine out of ten believe thatithe human
race came from one pair I don't believe
it. Do you say that is heretical2 Per-
haps it is, but this is not question to be
answered by those who cling to the old
theory. That old theory can never an.
swer it. In the. first place. Cain could
not have married his sister, when he de-
parted to the lald of Nod because he had
no sister. When Seth was born, Adam
was only 130 years old, very young man
for those days, and Seth lwas his third
child. There is no mention of daughters.
In the second place, Cain departed to 3
country where there were people and he
feared these people would slay him be-
cause of his crime, and the Lord recog-
nized the reality of his danger and set. q
mark on him that-he might be saved.
The Bible nowhere states tnat there we're
only two people originally created.
Adam was the generic name for human
race, and male and female created be
them. Doyou believe that negroes and
Chinese are the descendants of the same
progenitors with ourselves? I don't.
Cain went over to the land of Nod, and
there became chief of q race which he
found there. He built a cityI.. He could
not have done this. alone. This, then,
must be my answer to the question: !:
There were races of people upon the earth
at the time Cain was driven out vaga-
bond, and from this race Cain took his
wife," - 5'si ss4sa

A HIGH SENSE OF HoNoR.-The
Duke of Wellington had sense of honor
in all money dealings, and would suffer
none of his agents to do q mean thing in
his name. His steward once bought
some land adjoining his eountry estate,
and was boasting of having made a very
fine bargain, from the seller being in
Strengthened circumstances.
"What did you pay for it?" asked tue
Duke.
"Eight hundred pounds" was the an
swer.
"And how much was it worth 2"
"Eleven hundred pounds" said the
steward, rubbing his hands in glee at the
thought of the good bargain.
"Then take three hundred pounds and
carry them to the seller With my compli-
ments, and don't never venture to talk to
me of cheap land again"
The steward was confounded, and
could scarcely credit his own ears. The
idea that any one could refuse to profit
by bargain, and throw money away in
paying more than was agreed on, was
hard for him to comprehend.

MIR. Hewitt's Letter.

Hon. Abram S. Hewitt accompanied
his resignation of the Craftsmanship of
the National Democratic Committee with
letter which, while eminently credita-
Bile TO him rs Democratic leader; a
statesman and patriot, affords melan-
choly commentary on the exigency that
led him and q majority of his Democratic
colleagues to favor the adjustment of the
Presidential dispute by an Electoral Com
mission. Admitting the deep and burn
ing wrong of the result, Mr.. Hewitt JUS
titles his support of the bill, and his
assent to the completion of the count
saying that as an honorable man, no
other course was open to him than to
abide by the award of the Commission;
and, 10 his Judgment, laying the question
of honor aside it was the right course for
the country as we'll as for the Democrat
ic party, to proceed in accordance to, law
to an orderly completion ,of the; count,
even with the knowledge that it involved
the installation of Hayes. Mr.. Hewitt
believes that disastrous consequences
would have followed the defeat Of the
count. On one side he saw anarchy aud
civil war, on the other, peace and order.
He preferred the latter alternative.
"Under the circumstances" he says, in
conclusion, IT could not hesitate as to
my course. felt that, as patriot, and
as trusted servant of the Democracy, no
other course was left open to me, and I
feel sure its wisdom will be vindicated by
the early and triumphant success of the
Democratic party, standing as it does
upon the wreck ofjustice and patriotism,
from which no amount of passion or
provocation has been able to move it.
For myself I feel that I have now COM
pleted the duty which was assigned me
at st. Louis. The result of the campaign
was the unquestionable election of our
candidates. That they and the people
have been defrauded of their rights, is
true; but for this result I do not hold
myself more responsible than any other
member Of Congress upon whom rested
the duty of counting and declaring the
vote" The Galveston Neaos thinks the
most memorable portion. of the letter is
that in which Mr.. Hewitt expresses the
conviction that anarchy and civil war
we're averted by the plan of adjustment
covered by the electoral bill, and ex-
ecuted to the legal accomplishment of o
mighty fraud. He is not a man who
would lightly put on record and history
such aniopinion as this. His intelligence,
his vigilance, the nature Of his position
made him peculiarly well acquainted, not
only with the claims and resources of
his own party, but with the pretentions,
the temper and the designs of the leaders
of the opposite party: He saw that the
arrogance Of party spirit had gone SO far
with these men that when commanded
by the people at the ballot-box to resign
power, they were ready to defy the will
Of the people and to attempt to establish
a minority government by sheer force Of
revolution called to consummate the work
of fraud.

HON. ALEX. II. STEPHENS.
Visit of Ex-secretary Fish.-tTtterances
of the Dying Statesman.
WASHINGTON. March 13.

WASHINGTON, March 13.
Hon. Hamilton Fish called to pay his
respects to Mr.. Stephens to-day, at his
sick rooms in the National Hotel. Mr.
Fish was cordially received by the sick
man, who extended his attenuated hand
from under the bed cover, saying, "I am
glad to see you. Mr.. Fish"
Mr.. Fish, have called to see you at
the earliest moment I could, after being
relieved from my public duties.
Mr.. Stephens-Succession in office is
one of the fundamental principles in our
republican form of government.
Mr.. Fish-Yes, it. is happily constitu-
ted, and it is gratifying to me to know
that my successor is man of sterling
worth and great ability.
After few further preliminary in
quiries the conversation turned on Presi-
dent Hayes Southern policy.
+ Mr.. Stephens am glad to see that
Mr.. Hayes is shaping his policy some
thing after that of General Washington
by calling around him good and tried
men without regard to their political Or
partisan antecedents-by calling to his
aid on this great crisis. of our country
men irrespective of party, and assigning
them duties because of their peculiar fit
ness for them. Under the circumstances
that now surround him, looking alone to
good of country and not merely to the
formation of party; if he shall follow out
this policy to its legitimate conclusions,
his administration will prove success,
and confidence will be restored to the
country.
Mr.. Fish-It seems to be Mr.. Hayes
policy to give the home offices to home
men.
MI. Stephens-Yes, and if he will give
these to men of character and standing at
home, men who have the confidence and
respect of the people without reference to
their party affiliations. but who accept
Office as q high trust rather than for
emoluments, Mr.. Hayes will soon find his
administration growing in the hearts and
confidence of the people everywhere.
Democrats may accept of these offices
from MI. Hayes without any compromise

ana and South Carolina, as we'll as other
Southern States, the desire is to be left to
themselves, to govern themselves as may
seem best to them, and all Mr.. Hayes
can or need do is too see that their gov
ernments are republican in form, and
that they obey the laws and keep the
peace. If he will do this, the corrupt
carpet-bag governments will disappear,
and constitutional, peaceful governments
take their places. This will bring peace
and contentment to the South, and pros
perity to the country. I know my peo-
pie; they are law-abiding if left to make
and execute their own laws, as in other
sections of our country. Secure to them
this boon and they will be, irrespective of
race or color, prosperous, contented and
happy. .a
that your strength is not equal to your
will to talk and I will now bid you good
day, promising to call and see you again
very soon.
Mr.. Stephens Goodbye. Bear my
kind regards to General and Mrs. Grant

election scheme is his, but it has not even

It can be said on undoubted authority
tonight that the President does view
with favor. one method of settling the
Southern question-namely, that of or.
idering the troops, not to interfere in the
local governments in South Carolina and
Louisiana. This plan has also the favor
of the most influential members of the
Cabinet. It's to be that one which at
the Cabinet meeting tomorrow will
probably come up for discussion. The
President hesitates about adopting it at
once for only one reason. He is fearful
that if it were done there might arise
some disorderly proceedings in Louisiana
which, he apprehends, mig ght be used BY
5demagogues in the North to inaame
prejudice there against the conciliatory
policy toward the South on which he has
determined and for the success of which
,hei;is very solicitous. He has frankly
stated this fear; to Southern men with
whom he has conversed very freely, and
he asked them to procure him guarantees
and evidence which shall satisfy his
mind that no such troubles as he fears
would arise, if he should withdraw the
troops. Such guarantees he will receive
tomorrow or at furtherest within few
days. The Southern men with whom he
has spoken are entirely satisfied with his
position, and see that his anxiety on the
subject is just aud reasonable. Governor
Nichols has already telegraphed here to
,a!personal. a friend that he is ready to
guarantee absolute peace and good order,
and that not a hair of Packard's or any
body else's, head shall be hurt if the
troops are withdrawn, and he will-no
