p9r A social event in New York, last week,
was the second wedding reception of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Mackin, given to their New York
friends in the Windsor Hotel. Mr.. Mackin
is State Treasurer of New York, and his
bride was Miss Sallie Britton, of St. Louis,
daughter of ex-Mayor James H. Britton, of
that city. Among the company was Govern
or Tilden. The bride was taken in to supper
by Ex-Governor Tilden. On again entering
the parlor, Mrs. Mackin introduced Mr.. Til.
den to several of her friends, and suddenly
turning to young lady in delicate blue bro
caded silk, said: "Governor Tildeu, allow
me to introduce you to Miss Hazeltine, of ST.
Louis, the lady to whom you are engaged,
you know" Mr.. Tilden, much embarrassed,
hesitated and blushed at thus being brought
face to face for the first time with the lady
whose name has so recently been so publicly
connected with his, but on recovering himself,
he laughed over the widely circulated reports,
and treated the whole affair as good joke.
The meeting between these former strangers
had been anticipated with much interest, and
formed quite the event of the evening.
Bas~ In the Forty. first Congress, out sixty
three Southern representatives admitted to
seats, 6fty.two we're Republicans; and Of
Southern Senators. twenty were RepubIi-
cans The South was just about as solid then
as it is now, but it was on the other side. In
the forty first Congress the entire body of the
white people of the South, the people who
owned the property and paid all the taxes,
were particularly without representation yet
not one word of disapproval was uttered
against the monstrous wrong by press or
speaker of the Republican party. Now, on
vague allegations, totally unsupported by re-
spectacle proof, that the colored people of
two or three States are deprived Of represen-
tation, the partisan press of the North is in an
agony of horror and reproach.

at Barleythrope, near Oakham, accommo-
date no less than 81 couples of hounds; and
next in order of size comes the Berkeley

with 664 couples, and the Belvoir, with the
Duke of Rutland as master, with 62 couples.
Bss% The Baltimore Sun, apropos of the alleg-
ed ballot.box stufing in South Carolina, calls
the attention of the Northern press to the
fact that this art was invented and pefected
ir the North that it was almost wholly un-
known to the South previous to the war, and
only brought here by the carpet-baggers in
the days of reconstruction that it has reached
its highest perfection in the Republican city
of Philadelphia, and that the South has new
er equalled nor will ever be able to equal the
