THAT irrepressble politico-iudicll luna
tic, Tom MACKEY, of South Carolina who
made himself notorious in the last national
campaign by an indescribablc three legged
straddle, stumping the State for HAYES and
HAMPTON and then voting for TGLDEN and
HAMPTON, floats to the surface again among
the scum in Coftee-POt WALLACE's dirty
political pool. He RECALLED the committee
yesterday with q bombastic description of
his alleged experiences in the campaign of
1876, and would have continued, if permitted
TO talk about himself, 10 spin the same kind
Of yarns until the campaign of 1850; but the
committee wisely cholled him Off. About as
much reliance can be placed in his testi-
mOny as in his political consistency. He is
simply one of HAMpToN's creatures-a vol
uble, sycophantic, judicial courticr and gem
eral hanger-on to any political party that
convicted by his own testimony yesterday
of having belonged within four years to the
GRANT Radicals, the HAYES Liberals, the
HAMPTON White Leagucrs, and the TILDEN
bogus Reiormers having experienced a con-
version from Hayesism to Tildenism be-
tween the stump and the polls. He also
stands convicted of justilying the use OF
bayonets at the polls in 1873. OF course
the committee will not disgrace itself by
permitting this lunatic's testimony to remain
unexplained on its records. Lieutenant
HINTON, whom lie charges with having
begged to avoid the disgrace" while in the
discharge Of his dutyat Chester, will, OF
course, be called to give his version of this
latest cock and bull story regarding mill
tary terrorism in the South.

speech. To their utter amazement, how
ever, he did not appear at all, and ii was
also observed by some bright people that

Senator a lcorn. in fuliiIlment OF his word,

something had gone wrong, changed his

1t was subsequently discovered that the
shrewd Radical managers OF the Zach.

winning Mrs. Sprague over to their side.
They had persuaded her to take m interest
in Hayes's success, and, it Is said. she kept
the New York Senator, on whom so much
depended, from appearing at the Senate
chamber that day.
Now that the scandal Is made public. q
thousand incidents OF the relations Of Mrs.
Spra2ue and Senator Conkling are, told.
That they frequently rode out together On
til very late hours is pretty well known to
many. A family driving towards Edge
wood, just after the extra session, stopped
a runaway horse htched to coupe. With
In short time Senator Conkling appeared
on the road and claimed the horse and We

the property OF Mrs. Sprague, and the
family discovered that the horse had broken
away from its tcther while unattended.
TeleSraphic information received here
last night stated that Mrs. Sprague had, in

freely haZarded that one suit for divorce

a useful device for preventing class OF
accidents by which so many people have
been killed or crippled for life has been in
troduced on the Delaware and Hudson

OF movable steps, which at the station are
let down within one foot OF the ground.
When the cars are in motion the steps are
lifted high, so that it is impossible to Jump
