The straightouts OF the Virginia republican
state central committee claim that the CO.
aHtionistS played little game of deception
upon them at the meeting in Richmond last
TUESDAY. II appears that Mr.. Lewis after
suddenly changing the place of meeting from
the custcm-house to the Exchange hotel wrote
q note TO Gen. Wickham Offering to voluntarily
REIGN the craftsmanship IL he (Lew1s) was per-
mitted TO call the committee to order. Gen
Wickham and his friends held conference
and believing that Lewis proposition was made
In the interest OF harmony, they consented to
it Instead OF Immediately resigning after
calling the committee to order, Lewis pro-
ceeded to perform the duties pertaining to the
chairmanship. Clarke, who had been present
at the meeting Of the i1st uIt., and voted for
Wickhan1, offered the resolution changing the
time and place Of holding the state convention
and calling for the aodication OF both Lewis
and Wiekham ard the election of some other
member 10 the position Of chairman. When
this resolution was finally adopted Lewis
resigned and Clarke was made the candidate OF
The CoalttioniSts for chairman. 1t was discoy-
cred then that Clarke had disappeared leaving
his pIoxy In the hands OF a brother member,
and as the latter voted for Clarke In the ballot
Tor chairman. it seemed to be prearranged
anair. The strafghtouts ran Cochran and
elected him. Cochran voted for his competitor.
but when 1t was learned that the latter had
voted for hmself-through his proxy-one
member changed his vote from Clarke to
Cochran, elecung the latter by Is to ~. There
were ten proxies at the meeting eight of whom
were In the coalition interest, one being Lewis,
brother and another his son. The straight.
outs maintain that they had votes enough to
have entirely sustained the action OF the 2lst
ult. had they desired to be arbitrary; but that
In spirit of harmony they willingly made
certain concessions.

The part Of Tennessee through
which | have been knocked about is
full Of "reminiscences of the war, but
there is none of its bitterness left.
In war time the people were greatly
divided in their sentiments. and no
man could tell t'other from which.
This remark reminds me of story |
heard yesterday about an estimable
woman OF seventy odd, who died two
or three years ago, here on the mount.
aims. One day, during the war, when
the country was fairly alive with
gHerrillas, she had occasion to take
some valuable goods with her on a
trip she was making, and put them
on her horse, back OF her. When she
had gone some distance in the woods
she heard a squad Of guerillas an.
preaching. and knowing her goods
would not he safe for a mo-
ment, she straddled her horse,
man fashion, and throwing her long
skirt over the package behind her,
completely concealed it. When the
guerillas rode up she was unable to
guess whether they belonged to the
North or to the South--their uniform
being no solution whatever. She de-
termined, If questioned, to play a
bluff game with them, and she soon
had chance to exercise her wit.
"Hellol" called one of the guerrillas.
"Hellol" she returned. "What side
are you on?" he challenged. She
laughed a good laugh at him as she re-
piled, kicking out her feet, "On both
sides, Of course; can't you seer" This
brought roar from the whole squad.
and they began to banter her in her
own fashion. Which side is your
old man oD?" asked one of them.
He's on neither side" she laughed:
hes on his back, and has been for
years" Such Wit saved her, and they
let her pass unmOlested."

Tom Neal in Meals State Gazette.l
Returning from a short visit up
among the mountains of Vermont,
where we had spent few sunny days
with the natives, we tarried over night
at the little village of Cambridge,
Washington county, New York. Its
name suggested classic remembrance
of old England, aud we gazed cut
curiously as we were whirled rapidly
adown its principal street, up to the
Union Hotel. The quiet beauty OF
the scene, the Plrilanical stiffness
that brooded over all-the arching Of
the noble elms overhead, almost shut
ting out the suulight-the vine clad
porches, with the gay verandal chairs
spread invitingly eut-the peaceful
ringing of the Sabbath bells-were
all in harmony with the beautiful
town, and especially grateful to our
Southern travel-worn eyes. 4 =
I'VE next directed our steps to the
Hillside Cemetery, justly the pride OF
the place, for nature and art have
Joined hands in making it a most
beautiful home for the dead. AL
most the first inscription that met our
eyes was the following, on handsome
monument:
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1881-07-02

The tomb was erected by Il. Rice
the poet, in 1874
How strange that in this far away
land our feet should stumble, as il
we're, upon the grave of one whose
name and memory are revered in
Tennessee, as perhaps have been none
other since his time. Among our
boyhood "reminiscences of our native
city of Nashville are the tales of John
Maffit-his personal beauty-strauge
magnetism, wonderful eloquence and
great power over men. 'Tis said he
was instrumental in saving over TWEEN
ty thousand souls. His parents had
selected for him the mercantile pro-
fession, but in opposition to their will
he determined upon the ministry.
He had joined the Wesleyans in 1913.
In a few years he came over to this
country, and was received as a mem
Der of the New England Conference.
Bye and bye he removed to New
York, acting thereafter as local
preacher. Moving at his own discre-
ton he continued to preach. lecture
and write. In connection with Rev.
Lewis Garrett, he issued the first
number of the Western Methodist at
Nashville, Tenn. In 1867 he was
agent for LaGrange college, in Ala
bama; and subsequently elected to the
chair of Elocution and Bellies Lettres.
In 1S4l be was Chaplain to the lower
house of Congress. Returning to
New York he became somewhat lax
in his church relations and lost his
membership. Removing to Arkansaw
he was licensed to preach. He tray
eled then to the gulf cities, and died
subsequently Of heart rupture near
Mobile, May 1850. John Newland
Mafit was one of the greatest pulpit
orators the world has ever known.
A chequered life was that OF John
Newland Mafht-sometimes floating
upon the full tide of worldly prosper
ity and popular favor, but often assaiI-
ed by envy, malice and SANDER. 1t is
thought that his death was fastened
by an unhappy scandal. which was
unjustly afoat, involving him. He is
said to have exclaimed They have
broken my heartl" and died. At the
post mortem, which was held, his
heart was actually found severed in
three places. So ended brilliant life
"a useful career.
eau the martial pomp Of height and power,
All terrsne bliss, the world e'er gave,
Must fly at deaths apprO ching hour,
And clear the passage to the grave"
