This much we desire to say before alluding
to an interview with Mr.. WAYNE MAcVEAGH,
late Attorney General of the United States,
printed in the columns of Philadelphia
newspaper Monday morning last letter
was given the press Of the country purport-
ing to hayo been written by Mr. MAoVEAGH
to the President giving reasons why he could
not remain in the Cabinet of President
Arthur. Stripped Of its fringe of rhetoric
and its tinsel embroidery, the gist of Mr.,
MAcVEAGH's purported letter to the Presi-
dent was to the effect that he could
not remain in the Cabinet for the
reason, as he believed the President
would not favor vigorous prosecution OF the
star-route conspirators. That is the sum and

Typical cnscs In the south.

The three cases of Lynch, Chalmers, and
Kellogg are typical The first is colorcd
man, the second native Southern white
with q record in the confederate service, and
the third a Northern emigrant. The effort
to cheat them all shows that the Bourbon
rings represent nothing hut their own greed
and lack of honesty. When occasion offers
they prey alike on men Of all sections and
all races. After all the parties really injured
are not so much the candidates as the people
who elected them. After years of conciia-
tion the white leagues show as little regard
for honesty and the rights of the people as
ever. The Southern wing of the Democratic
party has reached Il point of debauchery
whore it can be reformed only by being
broken up entirely.

The most ungcnerous, unmanly, and iniu-

for many years is the current attack upon
Mrs. General Sherman because OF her faith in
the Roman Catholic religion, The mere mem

President opened the sluiCc-ways of gossip,

CHICAGO, Dec 3.-The captain of the barge
A. w. Luckey. one ofthe consorts ofthc steamer

of the loss Of the Peters with all on board.
The Luckey was sighted ten miles down the
lake Saturday afternoon by the tug Tom
Brown. She was in a disabled condition, and
was drifting with the wind On arriving at
the port the captain of the Luclley gave the
details of the loss of the Peters substantially
as follows: At 2:30 o'clock this morning the
Peters, with the Lucloy inflow, was in the CEN
ter OF Lake Michigan, heading for Manistec,
when she suddenly took fire, but from what
cause the captain Of the Luckcy could not as

speed, and the Lnckey was some distance in
her wake. The night was dark and blind

crew ofthc Luckcy saw Il mass OF flame shoot up
and then all was dark again. 4 few seconds af-
terward there was another binding glare and
the crew OF the Peters could be seen for an
instant struggling with the flames and man
ming the lifa-boats. Tho sea was running
worry high and both vessels were rolling yiu-
lcntly. Aftor another brief interval of dark
ness the flames broke out with great fury,
and were Gepn TO be amidships. The crew OF
the Luckcy lost no time in attempting to get
nearer the burning steamer, but the gale was
SO strong that they were unable to reach her

Grants One Mistake and His Great cour
IOtUd SidiC RCOiSter.

All men, being mortal, make mistakes.
even a Homer mods" General Grant, if he
has made any mistakes which were grave
enough to live into history and beyond the
passion of partisan hour, has made one as
we believe, in his surprising defense of
this cashiered soldier (Fitz-John Porter),
whose jealousy and sullSing rage left
thousands of brave soldiers, who might
otherwise have been alive to-day, dead
or dying in their own blood. But even in
this he still shows his lyon courage, and de-
f5nds, against the world, man to whom he
owes. nothing, because reflection has convinced
him that he has been uiSiudgcd. So this
mistake, if it is one, as we fear and feel it is,
is that OF a man Of great courage taking great
risks.
