remedies, and the position Of the Rus

lemma she will choose the lesser evil,
which is war. She knows she is sure

THE WIVES OF WALKER.
Louisville CourierJournal. !


Robert Walker, glass-blower employed at
the Star works, in New Albany, according to
the statement of his own daughter, is much
married man. Miss Louisa Walker, aged six
teen years, came to New ALBANY in June last
from England. where she left her mother and
two sisters. Her object in coming was to live
with her father, whom she had not seen since q
mere child. The girl had not been in New
Albany long before she found that her father
was living with another woman, and that he
had six children whom he called his own.
Louisa lived with him q few weeks, and Is his
wife made it very unpleasant for her, she con-
cluded to leave, and SO informed her relatives.
Her father declined to give up her clothing, and
she was obliged to do the best she could in her
everyday dress. She found employment at
the Phoenix Hotel, and afterwards secured .
better place at the residence of Mr.. Albert Trim
ler. Since she has been employed at the latter
place her father has made application to have
her weekly wages paid to him, and Mr.. Trinler
holds of the letters wherein Walker
acknowledges that he is the father of the girl,
and that he of right ought to have the money
she earns. It has been the object of the girl to
earn enough money to pay her way back to
England to join her mother. Louisa says her
mother does not know the condition of things,
but has been written to and will soon send her
marriage certificate to this country, that her
trusnt husband may be punished. Walker says
that he was married to his present wife In Bos-
ton, Mass, and that he obtained q divorce from
his first wife in Boston in 1866. He does not
remember the name of the Judge who granted
the divorce, or on what ground he obtained it.
He does not deny that he had wife in Eng
land, but says she has no claims on him now.
William Perkins. nephew of Walkers sub
Stimulates the statements made by the girl, and
says Walkers first wife knows nothing Of the
divorce. ,.-.~

A CHAT WITH GROESBECK.
NAV York firanhic ]

Ex-Congressman W. IS. Groesbeck ia at the
Everett House, having just arrived from Eu-
rope, where, as one OF the commission to the
monetary conference, he has shown his acumen
knowledge of finance. Mr.. Groesbeck, when
visited by the writer, aaid he did not care to
speak of the monetary conference, as the re-
port would be likely to be forthcoming in
short time. Ex-Governor Fenton will pass
the winter in Italy. The European commits
sioners were in favor Of the rules of the Latin
Union, Mr.. Groesbeck thought, and the action
of MIR. Groschen, one of Englsnd's representa-
tives, was influenced by the policy of the home
government.
While abroad Mr.. Groesbeck met General
Grant for short time. The general and his
chances for denomination are, he says, much
discussed over there, Grant has many warm
friends, owing in great part, Mr.. Groesbeck
thinks, to the fact that he is constant in his
friendships. Senator Conkling, too he thinks,
is strong in his respect. Mr.. Groesbeck hardly
believes That the General will be renominated.
'Hew do you regard resumption. Judge?"
asked the writer.
The people seem too willing to give the re-
sumption law fair trial, and no obstacles are
likely to be throw in its way. 1t remains to
be seen whether the national banks and the ma
tlonal banking system Will accord and harmon
lie with resumption. Thus far, the people
have experienced only the benefits and few of
the defects of that system. They still here:
In the East at least IN favor of it. They have
attacked the savings banks because they have
suffered by them. 1t is extremely difficult to
attack gigantic power, like the national
banks, en- naossc, but the time may come when
it can be done in detail. The failure of the
banks from time to time will cause the people
to become dissatisfied with the system. Ez
uno disco omnes.''
Senator Thurman and Ex-Governor Hen
bricks, Mr.. Groesbeck added, ARE both very
popular in the West. and it is difficult to say
which is ahead in the Presidential race. Thur
man is man of fine intellect" he added.
What do you think of politics in this State,
Judge Groesbeck?"
1T seems to me that the alliance of the Re-
publicans and Democrats will not be of long
duration. Where there is = divergence on SO
many points a concentration on one point is
not likely to be a lasting one"
Mr.. Groesbeck inquired as to Mr.. Tilden's
prospects, and said that his hand was apparent
in the recent elections in this oity and State"
