sou,e fssa,,s of Intorest I.clRtcdby Judge
hIaeiicy After his Recent yisittO tho Ma
tionai Capital.
From the Chester Bulletin. Junco.
Judge Mackcy returned from Wash
ington last Wednesday where he has
been for several weeks, looking after
the Mexican pension bill, and other
matters. He was as usual full Of
Washington events, and the moment
he appeared OH the streets he was sur
rounded by Il ncWs-hungry crowd. At
one :i,n0 some, seeing an unusual con-
course. si:unGht u row Was imminent,
and wrnt iii Il ran, unti'it WAS dis
covered thttt the Judge Was the emo
sure OF attraction. Judge Mackey
draws well, and wherever YOU see him
Oh the streets, he is surrounded by Il
nucleus Of incn, who are being enter
tanned by the surprising versatility Of
the man
We happened to meet the Judge,
and having seen his name mentioned in
connection with the United States Mar
shalship, mentioned tho fact, lie said
IL was trUc that lie had been spoken Of
in that connection, hut it was not
through any desire on his part. lie
did not seek tho appointment, and al
tough liu could have had il tor thc
asking. heggcd%Presideni Hayes moi 10
consider his appointment. He says,
noW yer, mat Gen. " y. Walker, OF
this place, is being urged for tic APP
i'o!Htirrnt ly Senators Hampton and
Eutlcr, and 'lcrc is a bit Of probpbil-
t. thut liS name will be iavorably con-
:ihcrcu at the hands OF The President.
lie also urged Gen, Walker for the
place and spoke of him TO the Prcsi-
dent as Il man who would make an i'm
partial, fearless and efficient officer.
l'rHsid"nt Hayes asked ofwhar politics
,,ic Gcner"i was. hen Judge Nlackcv
replied iha. l!c was Il Democrat, but DC
what h" may, he would make u Unit
ea States Marshal.
Judge Mnckey says since Hampton
has made his great speech in the Sen
asc on the Kellogg case, South Caroli-
Iii! has become foremost among the
Southern States at The National Capi-
tai. He says Hampton and Butler
have great Influence in affairs general
ly"nnd supported by our able dcle"a-
ton Of Representatives,, have won hon
or and fame for our State. Hampton,
says the Judge, is regarded as the rc1Y
HI'St man OF the South, and is honorctl
and trusted Dy all political classes.
Even the stalwarts haye the profound
est respect Tor both Hampton and But
lcr. 10 show what is thought of
Hampton and Rullcr in the North, he
continued, you have but TO sec what
tho New York Times, strong parti-
san sheet, says. The Times Of May,
22nd has the following;
''Thc speeches Of Hampton and But
lcr arc marked by Il dcgrcn Of candor
and learning, and possess a logic and
power never surpassed in the Senate.
In view of these uticrunces from such
distinguished Democratic leaders, it is
Dcccssary for The Republican party to
oppose the Democracy upon other than
purely sectional issues We mHst, in
order to win, oppose Them by better
men and better measures than they
offer for tho support Of the people,
We cannGt go into the campaign in
view OF hesc statosmenlikc speeches,
with q candidate whose only contriDu-
ton to the Southern question is the
stand Of the rebel brigadicrs.'"
Again, committee lromthe Penn
syl"nnia organization of tho Grand
Army OF the Republic recently waited
on Hampton 10 invite him 10 address
them a.; such time and upon such sub
jcct as l.r may deem proper. Hampton
accepted the invitation, and is now en-
gagged in preparing his address. His
theme is "NatiOnal Reconciliation -
The speech is to DC delivered soon after
the Adjournment Of Congress. This
mark of respect, coming from Pcnnsyl-
yania, is regarded as significant, mas
much as Hampton has always been
charged with the burning of Cham
6crsburg in that State.
Judge Nluckcy says Tilden, Field and
l5ayard are tho only very prominent
Democratic candidates for the Prcsi-
!cncy tiiat arc now being discussed in
Wasiiington. Tildcn is ahead, so far,
having already about 40 voicS pledged
10 him. Ii is believed, however, that
H"yard will carry off The prize at Gin
cinnai.
