After q brief but painful illness Henry

he has lived in Cambridge and he will
there be greatly missed. His patriarchal

thousand unexpected ways his strong
influence, always exerted for the right. viii

From youngest to oldest every one will
miss him But not alone has Cambridge
met with a great sorrow; every town and

loss; all over America there will be.mourn-
ing for the strong yet gentle spirit who
has gone-yes, wherever the English
language is spoken, there will the news OF
the death of Henry Wadsworth Longfel-
low come as a personal bereavement. He
was one of the first TO take captive the
heart OF America by his poems of home
life and he has held it 10 the last. His
Excelsior " has been detained all over
the land; his Psalm of Life" has given
comfort to many discouraged soul, while
such poems as Resignation" and There
is Reaper whose name is Death" have
been sobbingly sung oyer many a coffin

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Ssr: The
disgraceful case of bribery which has just
come to light in the New Jersey Assembly
is but link in the long chain of Legislative
corruption. And New Jersey is not alone
in infamy, as the following will go to
show: Some time since l was talking to q
friend of mine, gentleman who has rep
resented this country in the New York
State Legislature. He is one of the few
honest politicians that / know Of During
our conversation the Sessions case came
up. He informed me, and as matter of
fact, that lobbyists had regular price set

The principles of democracy enunciated by
JEFFERSON and illustrated by the admins
tration of jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
jackson. are sacred and immutable. They
must endure, in more or less practical APP
plication, so long as the present constitu-
ton survives; the abandonment OF one
means the abandonment of the other and
all the total loss of local self government
in these ststes. They are always fresh, al.
WAYS needing iteration and reiteration, as
the very gospel of free Institutions; and the
man who talks about them as matters OF
departed interest, merely advertises his
ignorance or his impudence.
But there have been Democrats since
jefferson, and even since Jackson. A very
great majority of the American people
declared themselves Democrats by their
votes in 1876, and duly elected the candi-
dates of the Democratic party, only to see
themselves swindled out of their right to
choose their own rulers. Mr.. Tilden was
a Democrat He scattered the Rings, pun
ished the thieves, reduced expenses and
taxes, and gave us an honest state govern
ment.
That was Jeffersonian Democracy, and
was found to be very timely indeed. Mr..
Randall and u majority of the Forty-fourth
Congress were Democrats. They cut down
expenditures by the millions, drove out the
lobby, crushed jobbefy, and for once re-
lieved Congress of the scandals which Re
publican corruptionists had brought upon
it. That was also Jeffersonian Democracy
the very essence of it. 1t was warmly
approved by the people. 1t always has
been approved by the people since Jeffer-
son himself put it in practice; and it always
will be whenever their sober judgement is
invoked upon it. If the Democrats are
wise, they will, in 1884. teach the Tribune,
Jay Gould. the centralizers, and the mono
pclists, this plain lesson in way not to be
forgotten.

The following extract from Danish pa

Delmonico, recently found himself in an
awkward dilemma. His chief revenue is
from meals served out of the house. The
throngs in the street interfered with their
delivery. Walters sent out on foot were
sure to be run against and the dishes they
carried to be upset. If sent in wagons the
frequent street blockades arrested their pro-
gress, and the food grew cold before it

VICE PRESIDENTS CHAMBER,
Washington, March % 1882.

DEAR SIR: / regret extremely that the
demands of Public duty viii deny me the
personal satisfaction of being present al
the Cooper Union meeting on April 8.
My sympathies are earnestly enlisted
for the object which has made that meet
ing necessary, not only for the protection
of American citizenship abroad, but as an
emphatic protest against the violent action
of the British Government in treating
Irish-American citizens as criminals. with:
out a hearing, and without trial, against
their: reiterated declarations of innocence.
If there was no treaty to protect them,
international comfy, and the constantly
professed friendship between Great Britain
and the United States, entitled these i'm
prisoRed citizens to at least the rights
under the boosted common law.
England may suspend habeas corpus
in time of profound peace, and under that
suspension, she may assume to violate the
letter and the spirit under existing treaties.
But when she touches the person, and re-
strains the liberty of an innocent American
citizen, she does it at her peril, and should
be made to feel the consequences of that
arbitrary and indefensible act:
Congress explicitly directed fourteen
years ago what should be done in cases
like those which have justly provoked
deep resentment. That duty has yet to be
performed, and | hope the strong voice OF
your meeting will prevent any further
postponement of the plain command of the
law.
The time has come when the fullest
rights of American citizenship must be
asserted. The present experience and other
examples equally trying to public patience
render this assertion now an imperative
obligation, without which the United
States would deservedly lose position be-
fore the world. Very respectfully,
DAVID DAVIS.

WOMEN AND LADIEs.-In the days of
our fathers there were such things to be
met with as men and women; but now
they are ell gone, and in their places n
race of gentlemen and ladies-or, 10 be
still more refined, n race of "lades and
gentlemen" hae sprung mp. Womcn and
girls are among the things that we're !;
but "ladies" are found everywhere. Miss
Martineau, wishing tc see tho women
wards in prison in Tennessee, was an.
swered by the warden, "Iye have no
ladies here at present, madam Now,
SO far as the ladies nre concerned, it was
very well that mono of them were in
prison but it sounds little odd-ladies
in prison! 1t would seem bad enough
for women to &C to such place.
A lecturer discoursing upon the char.
ncterstics of women illustrated thus ::
WHO were the Inst at tho cross? Ladies.
Tno were the first at the sepulchre I?
Ladies. On the modern improvement
we have heard Of but one thing that
beats the above. 1t was the finishing
touch to marriage ceremony, performed
by an exquisite divine up to all modern
refnements. When he had thrown the
chain of Hymen around the happy cou.
pie, he concluded by saying, 81 now pro.
nounce you husband aud lady" The
audience stuffed their handkerchief in
their mouths and got out of the room as
quickly as possible to take breath.
