AS a matter of justice we admit the
letter of Capt. Ben Lane Posey de-
Tending himself against the charges
of the sea-coast Bar. Having admit
ted to our columns the report and res
olutions of this Bar il is but right to
give the assaulted party an audience.
OF the merits of this controversy we
know nothing, and we take no sides
in it. But it has been rule of this
Office to exclude from its columns per-
sonal or abusive articles, and as we
have now given all parties fair hear
ing, we hope we will be excused here
after from inserting anything more on
either side, unless the language is
respectful and personally unoffensive.
1t threathens to become otherwise,
and we cannot lend our columns to
keep up blaze of bitterness. If we
had known that the original commune
cation Of Capt. Posey had in it the
dynamite property Of stirring up such
a flame, we should have withheld it
in the first place. But published as 1t
was we believed ourselves bound to
give the report of the Bar, and since
this report is a severe assailment Of
Capt. Posey, it would be unfair to
deny him a defense. But our connec-
ton with the controversy must stop
at this point. With no purpose to Of
fend, and no disposition to do any
body an injustice, we take the case out
of our columns.

Perhaps no individual who occupied
half the public attention Malone did
ever flattened out aud became nothing
so quck as he. Springing suddenly
into national no;oriety as the man who
held the patronage Of the Senate in his
grasp and had the power of the Pres
ident and the goodwill of the Repub-
lican party at his back, he was beset
by all sorts Of people who wanted all
sorts Of things, and besieged his hotel
at all hours and was the recipient Of
more cards on the floor Of the Senate
chamber than any other four Senators.
On the street, even, he was followed
and bored by the public. Ii was con-
sidered a foregone CONCLUSION that Ma
hone would command, through Cor
ham and Riddlebarger, about two.
thirds Of all the patronage Of the Sen
ate. The idea Of this immense power
brought with it the belief that his
name was omnipotent at any Of the
departments. Nobody would dare
refuse Mahone," was the saying, as II
his anomalous position was to be used
for the purpose Of extorting a species
Of political blackmail. On every hand
his name was in great demand for re-
c0mn1eDdations for Office, high and
low, and the most tortuous circumlo-
cufion and strategy vas-not too labo-
rious whereby 10 obtain IL. From this
pinnacle Of greatness Malone fell In
single day. His fall was heavier and
more humiliating than the mighty
Conkllng's. To-day the name q Ma
houe b only mentioned with ridicole
and confemrf.

The citizens of Oxford, not having
been informed of the train upon which
Senator Lamar would arrive AT his
home, failed to meet and extend to
him the cordial welcome at the depot
which they had arranged and expect
ed to give him. Anxious, however, to
show him how much he was appre-
ateti, and how heartily his course, in
the Senate Of the United States was
endorsed, one of the largest crowds
ever witnessed ON such an occasion as
semblcd last night on the square, and
beaded by the Oxford String Band,
marched to his residence, where they
discoursed him the most delightful and
patriotic strains of music.
In few minutes, in response, Col.
Lamar appeared on the portico, and in
speech of twenty minutes the i'm
mense throng was entertained with
one of the most compact and states
manlike speeches we ever heard, and
such as none but he could make. In
brief, lie recapitulated the history of
the gradual accession TO power and
representation of the South in the Con-
gress of the United States. That this
was accomplished by the wisdom, con-
servatism and patriotism of her people,
at being but partially ut first represent
ed, step by step, her representation had
been increased, until at last her voice
was united I'm both branches of Con-
gress that she now held the power in
her hands to take care of herself.
Here he grew sublime and eloquent,
warning the Southern people to take
no false step, urging them to remain
solid, and invoked the lightning of
public sentiment, that it might wither
and paralyze him, who, for personal
ends, should attempt to break the solid
Democratic South, as was the hand of
Rahoboam. He, in this connectipp,
said that few more Mahones wotl,d
have transferred the power of the
South into the hands of the very party
opposed to her interests. That by her
solidity and wisdom she had been
enabled to paralyze the power of the
imperial autocrat of the Republican
party, and send him back to his con-
stituency an humble suppliant for
power before his State Legislature,
closing his splendid speech 10y return
ing his thanks to the crowd for this
manifestation of their unbroken and
continued love and esteem for him,
and invited all to come into his house,
which he said ought to be theirs since
all he had been able to Accomplished
been on account of the honors which
they had conferred on him, and that
they were entitled to share il. After
n few moments Of conviviality and
Misunderstanding, the immense crowd
quietly departed and dispersed, each
feeling and entertaining the conviction
that he is one of the greatest living
American statesmen, and that fail
ure to return him to the Senate, would
be not only calamity upon Missls-
sippi, but wrong to the whole people
of the South and to the great Demo-
cratic masses of the North.

WAGES OF PLAYERS.
The Risk. and Profits OF Metropolis
tan Managers.

New York Letter to Cincinnati Gazette.
The salaries Of actors vary accord
ing TO the experience and talent The
pay of leading performers outside OF
New York rangers from fifty to one
hundred dollars week, while minor
actors receive from fifteen To fifty dol
lars. In New York small "utiityn
people get from twenty-five TO forty
dollars. A good Dutch comedian,
like williams or George Knight, aver
ages one hundred dollars. Ballet
girls are paid one to two dollars a
night, and of course have their
dresses from the theatrical wardrobe.
They are the poorest paid Of all the
atrical attaches, and yet there is "A
constant pressure for such employ
ment.
Scene painters are for a short time
among the best paid theatrical peop'e.
sherwood, formerly at Wallack's,
has SIS week, while Roberts and
Witham, of the Fifth Avenue, get
800 week. Mat Morgan, Voegtlin
and Leary are paid by contract, aver
aging about $500 a complete set Of
scenes.
Stage managers average from $40 to
SIS week, and business managers,
outside Of New York, are paid little
better Prompters are rated at SIS.
The business managers of the New
York theaters are well paid. Tooker,
formerly of Booths got while there
500 week, and a percentage on the
sale of tickets; Stephen Fiske, former
ly of the Fifth Avenue Theater, had
more. Theodore Moss,
of Wallack's, is said TO be n partner,
and A. NJ. Palmer, of the Union
Square, Is also n partner. Augustin
DAILY Is said to have made large sum
by writing plays, but bis failure as a
manager shows how easily money
can be lost. The history of theatrical
indeed, is a strange
record of failure, occasionally set off
by brillieut success, and the risks Of
the drama are considered greater than |
almost any business.
The salaries paid 90 New York ac-
tors and actresses are estimated as
follows: Clara Morris, when at the |
Union Square, had $500 a week, fur
nishing her own dresses. Fanny
Is said TO have received
$3.50 week last year at the Fifth
Avenue Theater, but IL Is more proba-
BILE that her pay was $1,000. Rose
Eytinge got $3.50 week at the Union
Square; Ada Dyas had $3.50; Kate
rlaxton had SIS. ETC., etc. These
salaries seem large, but when one
considers how many ambitious girls

1ense Of such life, II Is not so very

BLACKBURN AND CoNGEF


Blackburn, of Kentucky, and Con
ger, OF Michigan, were members oi
one Of the many special committees OF
the House of Representatives that
were raised just after the Electoral
Count rascality had defeated the will
of the people and placed In the
Executive Chair the smallest man
who ever occupied 1t. They were
scarcely acquainted, for our Kentucky
Rupert had been a member OF Con-
gress but short time, and old Conger
Is not a man that Southern men love
or one whose acquaintance is apt to be
sought by a Southern man.
One morning just before the hour
for the meeting Of the Committee OF
which they were both members ar
rived, Conger was abusing and villify-
ing the Southern people. He had his
feet on the table and was leaning back
in his chair, while his scorpion tongue
was engaged in its favorite strain.
Blackburn was FESTIVE, as were sew
eral other Democrats on the Commit
tee. Finally Joe rose and walked up
TO Conger and said: "Senator Beck
told me that you were even a meaner
man than you look. / regarded the
statements as incredible, butt now find
il is true. / have listened 10 your
SANDER Of my people as long rs | In
tend TO. You have got to stop IT, Ia
my presence at least, and instantly"
Conger leaned back farther In his
chair and burst into laughter, at the
same time complacently stroking his
iron gray whiskers, and remarked
Blackburn, as little as you think Of
IL, am regarded as q very handsome
man up in Michigan, and am a great
beau with the ladies In that State"
OF course Blackburn could say no
more after being 80 disconnected by
this remark, aud he let the matter
drop.
Several days afterward Blackburn
had made one OF his splendid speeches
In the House, and bis admirers had
sent him a magnificent bouquet which
was on his desk. CHANGING his eye
over the members gallery, he spied
