WIDOW STEWART.
n Rich Woman Lives in New York.

AaON u hich WOhna Lives In New YORK.
New York Correspondence Pittsburg Telegra oh.
When l came past Mrs. Stewards marble
mansion, at the corner Of Thirty fourth street
and Fifth avenue, the other night, l thought
that no tomb could be quieter; there was but
one apartment lit up, to all appearances, aud
III the moonlight of the May evening. the
place seemed indeed a " whited sepulchre,'
given over to ghouls and private watchmen.
One of the latter genus is OH special duty
every night, and makes his rounds, as a pre-
caution against tire or robbers, from u o'clock
p. IN. until early morning. Since Stewart
died the b~edchamber wherein he breathed his
last has been u~noccupied, the widow prefer
ring to climb one flight of stairs rather than
sleep in a room full of such mournful associ-
atlens. She resides alone, attended only by
servants, and every night goes up to the third
story, where her W room now is. On the
second floor there is only one bedroom-that
IN which the merchant prince died-the rest
OF the apartments consisting uf a library and
living rooms.
Mrs. Stewart has discarded mourning habil-
iments altogether, although she is eighty years
of age, and goes to dinner parties attirad in
garnet velvet and wearing diamonds that
flashed so that a gueast said the other evening
that no electric lights are needed when the
widow Stewart is present. Her diamond SOL
itaire earrings are not only twenty-five carats
fine, but are remarkable from the fact of be-
ing without a flaw; they are literally "gems
of purest ray ~serene.' Mrs. Stewart has
also prided herself on her figure, which is in
deed very youthful and well proportioned,
and now she looks younger than ever because
of wearing a couture made in one piece by a
skil!ful manufacturer of wigs, who has stud
led the most becoming to the perennial Cor
nelia. Mrs. Stewart is . woman of much
goodness of heart, but she has certain weak.
nesses in respect to dressing more youthtully
than a person should at her t me Of life.
However, she is mistress of her own actions.
| saw her tripping along on Judge Hilton's
arm at Saratoga last ummer they had been
dining with a party, including Mrs. Stewards
niece, Mrs. Smith of Long Island. at the
Windsor Hotel, and were returning thence to
the Grand Union. Mrs. Stewart had already
relinquIshed Grape and bombazine for founces
and white flowers and other insignia of hall
mourning. She is very near-sighted, bul
otherwise seems as little like a woman of feul
score as can be imagined. She told a friend
the other day that her late husbands remains
had never been found, the impression to the
contrary notwithstanding.

A WdriiEe Outlook.

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 10, 1880.
Active operations aga nst the pratt
cal vessel h whi;h have been depredatipg
so long in Virginia oyster waters are
about To be- commenced. The land and
naval forces Of the State are to be called
out to capture the vessels and put step
to oyster dredging by allen ships. This
war Ike course is Indicated by the pas
sage of joint resolution in the House of
Delegates to-day, which states that in
view OF the depradatioDs by mara1ding
vessels in the waters on the EASTERN
Shore, and the outrages on the people
| along the banks of the Rappahannock
River by The crews of such vessels, sew
eral of whom have committed murders,
the sum OF 81 800 is appropriated 10 en-
| force the oyster laws IN that section. DIR.
| Pitt, the delegate from Lancaster coun-
| ty, the citizens of which have been so
outrageously victimized, said that there
is now quite a fleet, numbering some
thirty odd of thu se vessels, in the mouth
of the Rappahannock River violating
the oyster laws of the State; that the To-
cal authorities are powerless to prevent
them, and that two citizens of the cOun-
~ had been murdered by these non-resi-
dent pirates. 1t is proposed TO fit out an
| armed expedition either here, at Norfolk
or Fredericksburg, consisting of vesse
steamer, ii posi- ble-t0 be manned by
sixty men armed with long range rifles
and having on board battery of rified
artillery. This vessel will be despatched
to he scene of the outrages with a view
to blockade the marauding feet in the
river anu arrest the crews. The militia
forces of Lancaster and other counties
alopg the Rappahannock River will be
on hand to cooperate with the steamer
and it is confidently expected that the
invaders will be captured and made
prizes Those who know the crews o.
the trespassing oyster vessels and tn,
manner in which they are armed will
the best long range rifles assert that ther,
will be bloody work as soon az an attacl
Is made upon them. Quite au excite
ment has been created ia official circle
by the warlke outlook. The Joint reso
luton will pass the Senate tomorrow
ard will then be signed by the Cover
nor, after which the expedition will b
immediately fitted out.

From the n. Y. Herald.
The Third Term and the Re
publican P0g.fu.

VttCNtfN
What with the screams Of the demo-
cratic politicians and the maneuvres of
their republican antagonists, the public
miHd has been falling into a muddled
and hysterial condition about General
Grant, which Is entirely unnecessary,
and if it continues will be prejudicial to
sober judgment. We pIopose in what
follows an attempt TO return to sober
thinking on question of far too great
Importance to be decided by the A merlS
can people In q passion.
In the tirst place, there seems no lou
ger any doubt that General Grant de.
sires third term ef the Presidency. Ac-
tiOns, the old proverb says, speak louder
than words, and tue rightly, as me- pc
hevs, accepts as a fact that the General
wishes and hopes to Occupy the White
House for third term.
This being 80 it is well for all of us 10
remem Der that there Is no constitutional
prohibition 10 ominating, and, II the
people want him, TO re-electing, g General
Grant to the Presidency. 1t is undoubt-
edly against the political traditions of
the country; it Is contrary to the exam
pie set by by Washington, Jefferson and
Jackson But II is not contrary to the
constitution. So far as that instrument
is concerned it leaves the people free TO
re-elect an individual for an indefinite
number of periods of four years each.
A considerable body OF Republican
politicians strongly, and indeed vehe-
mently, desires his reelection. This Is
not surprising. The Grant men are
those republican politicians who had
place and power for eight year. unGer
their favorite, and who were, for the
most part, turned adrift on a cold world
when Mr.. Hayes succeeded General
Grant. They have not very sanguine
hopes of a return to pleasant lives under
any Republican except Grant, aud II
would be very surprising indeed II they
did not labor necessarily for his return
to power. They assert boldly that
Grant is demanded also by the RepuolI-
can voters; but here they come upon dn-
bious ground-they do not want what
the Republican voters want. The most
influential journals of thar party are
silent on the subject most of them are
believed to prefer some or indeed almost
any other candidate. The fall elections
tell nothing on the matter, unless 1t
should be said that Ohio and New York
were tests; but In that case IL would ap.
pear that in the former State, where the
Sherman and admi nistration men con-
trJlled, the people were heartily with
them, while in New York, where the
party was openly committed by its lead
ers To Grant, 1t would have lost The cleo
ton but for the split in the democratic
party. But we do not attach much i'm
portance to these two instances.
General Grant seeks denomination
from the Republican party. It's conveD-
ton meets at Chicago next June. If
when it meets a maj jority of the dele
gates prefer General Grant to any other
Candidate they will nomin nate him; that
is all about it.

TIE late Bishop Gil Haven was once
offered the editorship of the New York
Independent, and though he declined 1t,
he was pleased with the offer and so
warm friend OF the paper that "after
his death, he wanted it sent to him in
the other world If there were any 'malls
that would reach there" The Inde-
pendent, with an idea of coming as near
to the boundary as possible, promises to
send q copy to the "Haven normal
school, Waynesborough, Ga, for the use
of colored Students" A religious .con.
temporary suggests that if the IndeDen-
dent ever gets across the line, its able,
Renial, bat perhaps too liberal too liberal
editor might omit the advertisements,
and especially the prominent insurance
department. as IL is believed no Prov.
siOns against death and fire are needed
in the land to which Bishop Haven has
gone.

ENTERED AT WILMINGTON POST
An SECOND osElEa GLASS MATTER.
rMUnsDAY. JANUARx IS. 1850.

LEGAL TENDER REPEAL.-Unques-
tionably the Democratic party is in favol
Of gold and silver as legal tenders. The
idea of q single gold standard will
greenbacks for legal tenders has passed
away, at least for q generation in this
country.
The only fear that has been expressed
In the Democratic journals is that the
repeal Of the legal tender clause might
contract the amount of the circulating
medium, unsettle contracts, and disturb
the business of the country.
Senator Bayard has met the objection
As to the contraction of the greenback
circulation by disclaiming any desire to
do so and maintains that there need be
no contraction that for every dollar of
legal tender greenbscks that is Withdrawn
dollar in U. s. Treasury notes may be
issued. This It seems to us ought to be
satisfactory with all who are not favora-
BILE to paper promises TO pay being made
legal tenders in the payment of debts.
At present the United States bank paper
issues are redeemed in legal tenders.
They are superior. Whether it is pro-
posed 10 make the United States Trea-
sury notes serve the same purpose or
not, Is not clearly shown; but II this is
done the U. s. Treasury note promise to
pay may be just as good as the legal tep-
der note was. The government is bound
by Its promise to redeem the legal
tender greenbacks in coin; it will be no
notes in coin.
What Senator Saulsbury's views are
on the repeal resolution does not yet ap-
pear; but in his able speech in the Opera
House in the State campaign Of 1878, he
declared himself opposed to increasing
the interest paying debt by the sale of
bonds to buy gold for redemption pur-
poses, and also to the issue of more legal
tender paper to redeem the bonds Of the
U. s. banks held by the government
but said he would vote for the Issue o.
U. S. Treasury notes to redeem the
bonds of the banks. So that we infer
that Senator Salisbury is still in favo
Of the issue of Treasury notes and op.
posed to legal tender paper money.
Now, will there ever be more con
venient season for getting rid of the lie
gal tender clause2 1t is extremel,
doubtful, and there might not be one 5,
favorable again. We find large mas.
of business men in favor of the pas
sage Of the resolution to repeal the lega
tender clause, and so far no rea
cause for delay is given, Will
there seems TO be no disposition to hur
ry IL through the Senate; and the amp
lest opportunity for discussion will b,
given.

THE Springfield Republican, because
1t wishes to use John Sherman to defeat
Grant and Blaine, consents to extol him
as great statesman. Perhaps the end
justifies the means, but history will pre-
serve the memory of Sherman as Pres
Ident stealer, rather than as a statesman.
His genius for such rascality as the
Louisiana fraud utterly overshadows his
genius for anything else.
