z. L. White, q well-known Republican
journalist, late correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, has been giving recently
some "reminiscences of the period, and, in
in letter to the Providence Star, he thus

stress was laid as arguments against the

A few days after the battle of Bull Run,
HOOKER called at the White House to bid
the president goodbye. Taking him by
the hand with that friendly OBTAINING
grasp SO habitual with him, the president
said: "Well, Colonel Hooker, what do
you think of the battle of Bull Run ?"
"Mr. Lincoln, was on the field that day,
and am much better general than any
you had there" was the reply. The self
assertion and earnestness of Hooker's
speech and manner struck Mr.. Lincoln
favorably. "Don't 60 home yet, colonel,
we shall want you" Soon after President
Lincoln made him general.
Once when Queen VICTORIA met Dickens,
Carlyle and Browning at a dinner party,
arranged at her own request, she started
as the subject of conversation the probable
future of the second French Empire-a
subject OH which Carlyle was greatly at
home, for in those days he was predicting,
with singular clearness Of vision, how the
whole Napoleonic drama would be ex-
tinguished in fame ard smoke from be-
meath the stage on which it was acted.
Both were standing when the talk began,
and as he warmed with his subject the
Queen still remained on her feet. He de.
sired greatly to sit down; was, in fact,
weary, and finally said to her: eff your
majesty would be seated we could carry
on tho dicussion with more ease." Ol
course, she had never realized his fatigue,
but at once the Queen Of England-and
probably for the first time in her life as a
Queen-took a seat at the invitation of a
subject.

An Old Story.

Mr.. u. l.. White, formerly we'll
known Washington correspondent and
now owner of a Providence paper, is a
very intelligent and reputable witness of
how the Republicans manufactured
their case in 1876, such a case as it was.
The evidence upon which they threw
out enough votes in Louisiana to count
in Hayes, was flimsy enough, to be sure,
but when it is seen to have been fabrl-
Gated almost wholly, its utter insufficient
cy to establish the most trivial case
becomes more apparent. According to
Mr.. White, and to all veracious ac-
counts of the events which trans
pired in Louisiana, a more delib-
crate system of forgery was never
engaged in by the worst villains in
crimes annals than that which was
executed for and by the visiting states
men who went South in the interest of
Hayes, in the pay of Cameron and
Chandler, who never stopped in their
job until they had consummated it by
the prostitution Of the Republican
members of the electoral commission,
and who were rewarded for their infamy
by the best gifts at the disposal of the
administration which was the spawn of
their fraud and The beneficiary of their
crime. The methods by which Mr..
Hayes got into a seat to which he
was never lawfully chosen have
long been painfully obvious. Time
and fresh revelation can only con.
firm the invalidity of his title and deepen
the taint of his elevation to Office. The
moral of it can be drawn from the dis
closures which have been made of the
inner character of his administration.
1t wasan apple of Sodom-inside at least
The postOffice and treasury scandals
were bred from the character of the men
who were rewarded for their misdeeds
and whom the administration could not
ignore in view of the services they had
rendered it. In these disclosure there is a
political retributiOn for that wrong doing;
but sooner or later the whole party must
feel the weight of it, for almost the
whole party assented to, gloried in and
was accessory, after the fact at least, to
the fraud first made triumphant in the
Inauguration of the Republican candi
date in 1877.

No Capse For PanIc.

No Cause For Panic.
There is no good reason why the busl-
ness Of the country should be affected
by the life or death of the president, YET
we fear that the concern which many
people feel at his condition is greatly
weighted by their apprehension that his
death may disastrously affect their finan-
cial interests and the sensitiveness OF
the stock market to the varying reports
Of the presidents condition seems to
sustain this fear. But the general busi-
ness of the country has very little con-
nection with the stock market; and
even though stocks should tumble gen.
eral trade need not be affected. Stock
dealing has got to be little else than a
gamble, and market prices do not indi.
cate real values. Almost anything may
bring disaster to an inflated balloon,
and the general view is that stocks
are in such a state that a triie
may cause their collapse. The presi-
dents death would be turned to their
account by the bears il possible, and
perchance effectively; though unless
there is really good ground for distrust-
ing stock values the disturbance will be
but temporary the presidents death or
life can certainly have no real influence
on values. Presidents have lived and
died, been inaugurated and retired, and
the country lived on without finding a
crisis in the change of rulers. Why
such should occur now we cannot see.
A political revulsion may result, logl-
cally and necessarily, but certainly not
q financial one. The country will mourn
the presidents death, if he dies, but
certainly will not lose its head or throw
away its money.
The business of the nation is in no con-
dition to be affected by causeless panic
however the stock market may be. We
doubt whether even stock prices are to
belowered just yet awhile. Just as sure
" as some stocks are too high so certain
ly are others cheap. Worthless stocks
are selling at great prices, while good
ones are but moderately valued. With
the abundance of money there does not
seem to he immediate pricking in store
for even the financial bubbles; and in
solid merchandise there is no OppOrtuni
ty of loss, because it is valued too neal
the cost of its production to make il
possible that it should depreciate.

counties and minority states, there is no
discrimination in state and national con-
ventions; and while this has been COM
planned of as an unequal system of re-
presentation, it is maintained, no doubt,
as political recompense for the local
odds against which the organization is
kept up in minority districts.

and feeling wealthy, got gloriously drunk,
scattered his money right and left with .
lavish hand, aud paraded his money before
every body he met. He was carried to the
hotel helplessly intoxicated by some Of his
friends, and after nights rest started on
foot for home. His actions of course Gre.
ated suspicion, and the sheriff hearing of
these and other facts, followed after him
and overhaulcd him near Graceville.
When told by the sheriff that he was his
prisoner, Murphy tried the bluff dodge, but
finding it did not work, he submitted to
being searched and the watch and about
$3.50 dollors was found in his possession,
the money being secreted in his vest lining.
Finding that he was caught Murphy made
a clean breast of it, claimed that he was
drunk when he did it and had but little
recollection of how he got the property.
AS there was about $120 missing the sheriff
set to work to find it, and succeeded in
tracing and recovering oil but forty-eight
dollars. The suit of clothes are yet to be
found, but it is likely they have fallen into
other and dishonest hands. The prisoner
was examined Saturday and bound over to
the next term of court when his case will
come before the grand jury. In the mean
time he goes to Minneapolis for safe keep.
