MAHONE
AD Aaron Burr, n Benedict rnoId and a
Judas IacariOI-A Bitter Speech.

An Aaron Burr, n Benedict ArnoId and a
Judas IAeariOI-A Bitter Speech.
The Norfolk ViTginidn gives an account of
a public meeting at Wytheville, Va, on
Tuesday last. Senator Newberry addressed
the people, and expressed IN very emphatic
terms his opinion Of Malone. He declared
that he was the most ungrateful. imperious,
dictatorial and corrupt politician he had ever
known. He compared him to Aaron Burr,
Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot. Said
had he lived in the days of Judas he would
have sold his Maker for twenty pieces Of sill
yer, instead Of thirty, the price obtained by
Judas; that when he had control of a great
railroad corporation he had perpetrated a
swindle amounting to S6,O00,OO0, and that for
his part i'e would not exchange his good
name for 'all Mahone's ill-gotten gains" He
denounced him as "a scoundrel, !" notorious
infdel," and gambler by profession and in
heritance," and said that when he went to
Richmond he did not put up at a hotel like
gentleman, but made his headquarters at
regular gambling den." Was it not a dis
grace to modern civilization and to this
christian commonwealth, he said, TO have
such a character undertaking to play the
role of boss? He regretted that he was not
present; he would rather meet him in dis
cussion, face to face, and tell him what he
thought of him, than to meet any other man
in the State, and he took occasion to announce
that he would speak at Giles and Pulaski
courts, and challenged the boss or any Of his
"lick-spittles" to meet him at these appoint
ments in debate

PILLS.
BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, win
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
lions, where a mild but effectual
cathartic is required.
For sale by all druggists.

GRANT
Troubled About the Title to His House
Ills Portrait as a Broker.


The New York correspondent of the Wash
ington Star says: General Grants superbly
finished residence in Sixty-sixth street, of
which he is so proud, is in jeopardy from
the attack Of an aged negro woman, who
claims the ground ON which it is built
There is a flaw in the title to the deed, and it
is said to worry the general very much, as
he believed that he was settled for life
Grant begins to loom up as an owner of fast
horses. He only cares for trotting stock, and
wouldn't give fig for a running horse. 1t
Is a common sight to see him, late in the
afternoon, skimming up the road in little
ieather-weight wagon, putting new horse
through his PAGES, or extending the legs of
an old favorite. He looks very little like an
ex-president then. He wears a rusty old
ulster, and hat drawn down over his eyes,
and he sits like round-shouldered old horse
man. He has no longer the military bearing
by which he was once distinguished,
and is rather shabby in the matter of
dress. His time is spent with financial men
altogether now. He goes down to Wall
street early in the morning, and remains till
the tick of the bell. He is so much engrossed
in money NAL king that he has refused an in
vitation for Newport, and will spend the
summer at his son Ulysses S. Grants place
in Westchester county, SO that he can reach
the elevated railroad every day, and get
down to his beloved Wall street at an early
hour. Colonel Fred Grant is also coming
out as a heavy fnancier, and u. S. Grant,
jr., is doing some very considerable money
making in quiet, but persistent way. 1t is
not at all improbable that the Grant family
will rank among the wealthy ones of New
York in twenty years or less"

fusion. Khedive Ismail, also, would have no
objection to assist in disturbances that might
end in putting him back in his old place and
dignity. Thus the reader perceives there are
favoring elements enough for an extensive
revolutionary warfare. The European powers
will look closely TO their own interests, and
will interfere as far as it is necessary to pro-
tect them, but as TO the personal strife be-
tween the two khedives and Arab Bey, little

foreign interests are conserved, foreign debts

OF the Cool Head and Ripe Judgment
The scholar and BOOkHornl.

There must be a literary bureau some
where inventing silly stories about Mr. S. J.
Tildep, for the newspapers are full of them
There is no question but that he is yet
strong factor in politics, just as Heratio Sey-
mour might have been had he not Withdrawn
so resolutely from the activities of public
life. Mr.. Tilden has the coolest head, the
ripest judgment, and the clearest perception
of any man familiar with the politics OF the
country. He, however, is not the busy
schemer he Is habitually represented, nor has
he his eye fixed upon this or that elevation.
He is quite content to remain in his present
position, and the temper of his mind is one
of preference for the leisure OF declining
years. His enemies, it would seem, would
deny him the right to have the conviction
that the presidency was stolen from him,
and that it was wrong which all Democrats
should perpetuate in its odious history until
it is righted. The honesty of this convic-
ton, which he shares with many of his
countrymen is unquestioned, and its sound
ness is not questioned abstractly by those who
are in opposition to him. The plain truth is
that the Republican leaders dread contest
with Mr.. Tilden. They know his fertility is
presenting living issues, his wealth of resource
intellectually, his command of details of
politics and his devotion to the old school OF
Democratic politics to which the country in

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 25.-The representa-

here this morning. Twelve gentlemen were
present,representing ST. Louis, East ST. Louis,
Belleville, ILL.,, and other firms in the vicin-
ity. This is the continuation of meeting
held here some days ago, under the direction
of John Jarratt, of Pittsburg. The object of
the meeting is to determine the- schedule of
wages to be paid by employers during the
coming year. Mr.. Helmbacker, of the
Helmbscher Mills, said that outside of Pitts
burg workmen were not demanding an in
crease of wages. He said the trade of the
rolling-mills had decreased rapidly within
the past four months, and prospects were un-
favorable. The railroads have Withdrawn all

thing new, while general trade is exceedingly

BEN BUTLER
As the Democratic Candidate for Gov
ernOr Working Things Up.

NEnOE
Ben Butler is moving mysteriously about
the country, conferring with the powerful
statesmen, visiting President Arthur and at
taching himself TO various men of influence
His present mission is 10 create greater
schism than ever in the Republican party in
Massachusetts,, and then to run once more
for governor. He is working for this end
with great assiduity, and there are even
those in his circle of friends who believe that
he stands better chance of winning this
fall than ever before. He is rich and has no
responsibilities of importance connected with
his wealth. His design has been for many
years to leave the furnishing of his fame to
posthumous history, and he opens his purse
strings freely when he has an object to
accomplish. Ben Butler has a serene
confidence in his power to accomplish
the objects of his ambition, and it is
limited now that the presidential
bee is singing in his bonnet. If he
carries Massachusetts, as the Democratic cam
didate for governor, he places himself in a
position of power forthwith, as being able to
break the chain of Republican States and to
add to the quota of Democratic States, 80 as
TO do without New York, if necessary. But
to follow out what seems to be merely an in
teresting political speculation, would the
South ever forgive Butler? Would they
forgive the hanging of Mumford? the sen-
tence of Presbyterian preacher to the
ain-gang? and the order anent the women
of New Orleans? 1t is intimated that the
willy Ben contemplates a trip through the
Southern States to make friends.

sence caused inquiry, and Griffin said he
