scene at the white House.
IGlnl,e. pcmocrnt1


There was n scene at n social dinner nj
the WHITE House early in March that was
NOT put Down in the programme. The
President had brought around him the
members of his Cal net, few Senators
and friends, with an eq.t number Of
ladies', for one of the most exqSisite dins
ners that he had then given. The siIlsd
walls, the pomegranate plush hangings,
the thickets OF azelcas, the beds of roses
and the table with its beautiful flowers
aud crystal that was set in the center of
the private diningroom, all ministered 10
happy hearts and smiling faces. Mr.
Blaine sat facing the host, and in In
general sociabiliiy Of the party there was
baking across and all around the bonrd
in which The President and Mr. Blaine
were foremost in humor and repartee.
Several times the Pres ident addressed
him as ''Mr. Secretary" the title TO which
Cabinet officers are personally designa-
ted, and each time MIR. Blaiueis nlumage
was visibly ruffied, and his black ewes
snapped Impressed sparks. At the third
time his words were repeated, Mr. Blaine
leaned forward and said quickly, I'm
thank you, Mr.. President. not to address
me by The title of the Office of which YOU
have deprived me. To you l an imply
Mr.. Blaine"
The company we're struck dumb, and
sat pale and silent as if hit by thunder
clap. The President eolored, for be
bushes as easily rs a school girl, attribu-
| ted his using the title 70 the habit acquir-
ed during their pleasant official rela tions
together, and deprecated ever having de
privsd him Of an Office il would have
given him such satisfaction to retain. 81
1 beg your pardon sir, you did not depriys
me OF my office, said the chagrined ex
Secretary, AID 1t was then left for The
President TO restore soeiabitity around
the board and help his guests forget the
unusual contrstemps.

Soon after the firing on Sumter a gen
ueman of New York, who pas;st,s his
summers by the waters Of South Ray,
had occasion to drive from New York t.
Islip, and TO pass through the principal
villages along the shore. Nearly every
where the patriotism Of the people was
manifested by numerous flags that waved
from poles, or were fiI;ng from windows
and each village contained groups of mei
who were discussing the important event,
of the day. One village only was with
cut hunting, and there was sulleu crowd
at the principal store, whose breathing
were anything but loyal. The gentle
man was well known To the inhabitants,
and felt justified IN reproving them for
tlleir politic.l attitude He told what he
had seen on his way down. how the
other villages were decked with flags,
and asked why they did not do hike their
neighbors. The men looked one toward

SENATOR jackson may have supported
or voted for the 50-4 measure submitted
to the people in August 1879, or he may
not We do not remember to have heard
Of him on the stump. He may have stood
with the LEDGER on that question then
without making the fact public. He
must have been in favor Of such a basis Of
settlement at the June convention, but
since then he has changed his views and
must admit logically that he has been a
repudiator and that yeryrecently. A man
who admits on the stump that he did not
know much about aquestion in 1879 which
had agitated the State for ten or twelve
years, win not make much headway as a
public advisor. He made serious po-
litical mistake, and virtually admits it in
Withdrawing from a discussion with his
ADLER colleague. Personally, we presume,
they are as good friends as ever. Differ
ences of opinions and political divergence
very seldom affect the amicable relations
that exist between gentlemen of common
sense and broad views Senator Jackson
is an excellent man for a law office, for
the social circle and in private life, for
which nature and education fitted him.
AS public advisor on this particular
issue, he comes, like some others, with
nothing new at late day, and is alto
gether failure.
