 The following from London, shows the high esteem in which the late Longfellow was held Tn foreign lands: ::
 The Times says the news of Long. fellows death will be received with deep regret wherever the English language is spoken. The death of no literary Englishman could excite more genuine sorrow than that of the much loved author of "Evangelinc." He will be no more sincerely lamen- ted in America than in this country. The News, Standard and Telegraph speak in equally graceful terms of Longfellow.

SPECIAL to THO Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON. November 27.-Out
Of report that Secretary FO,ger pro-
posed to give up his handsome resi-.
dence near the British Legation. at
the expiration Of his lease, December
10, grew the rumor that ha Was to
retire from the Csb,nss Ca that date
This rumor was very circumstantially =
put in a dispatch from Washington
published in New York this morning
1t was said that the Secretary had
rendered his resignation, to date from
December 10, and that the President
bad accepted it. 1t was added that
after his resignation he would settle
down in New York as counsel for the
New York Mutual Lille Insurance
Company. Secretary Rolger classed
both statements with the nonsense
which has been written about his
Forthcoming report as absolutely with.
out foundation. The statement 90 to
his becoming counsel for the Life
Insurance Company was also denied
by the President OF the company. 1t
is stated that Secretary Folger has
renewed his residence lease for an.
other year, and it is reported that
before spring be will haye married
again.
A Stalwart friend of President Ar.
thur said to night: II have no doubt
that Secretary Folger is entirely
sincere in saying that he has no pres
ent intention of resigning | have
reason to believe that the Fresident,
with qual sincerity, has recently ex
pressed desire that he would resign
Having taken Judge Folger from what
was practically a life position, the
President does not see how he can
with decency shove him cut In
the cold. But he hoped
that Folger would resign when he was
nominated for Governor OF New York
and that on another occasion he was
equally hopeful that Judge Folger
would accept the Mission to England
He would offer him any Office in his
gift gladly if he thought the old gen
tleman would give up his present
position fer it, 1t looks, however, as
if the President would have TO wait. T"

Death OF UsiOr wiIlO Haywood.

Major Willo Haywood, one of the
best known and ablest editors in Ten
nessee, died at Brownsville Monday
afternoon at half past three o'clock,
after an illness of several months. He
came Of a distinguished old pioneer
family, and was a man Of large brain,
fine intellectual powers, and courtly
manners. To these natural advanta-
ges were added culture and a general
knowledge Of men and the affairs Of
the world. For some years past, and
at the time of his death, he was editor
aud proprietor of the Brownsville
Democrat. He was we'll informed,
graceful aud forcible writer, aud
fearless advocate OF oldfashioned JEFF.
fersonian Democratic doctrines
No one could excel him in
courtesy. yet his style was in
cisive and direct. His articles
we're models OF good English and
sound logic. In his public life he
was always genial and smiling, yet he
bore about him great physical trouble
which the outside world little suspec-
ted until recently. In his childhood
he received a severe injury in his
right arm. He grew up splendid
looking man, and did service in the
Confederate army, but the arm was
never sound. 1t was a constant source
of pain and annoyance, and year or
SO ago he submitted to an ampu-
tation. This gave no relief
the experiment cane too late
For months previous to his death he
seldom stirred from his room, although
he continued almost to the last to take
an interest in public affairs and TO
direct the course Of his paper lie
passed peacefully away, attended by
his venerable mother, who is now
eighty-four years of age, and other
members Of his family. His was
generous and a manly heart, always
loyal to friends and State, country and
convictions.

The TariG In The south,

The growth OF manufacturing inter-
ests in the South, and the changes it is
likely to make in the political rela-
tions Of the States OF that section. is
remarked upon by the Charleston
News. 1t sees an evident tendency in
Virginia to reject free trade theories
and unite with Pennsylvania in favor
of protection. Should this impression
be correct, that paper believes that
the South Atlantic States will have to
look to the Northwest for new political
alliances. Then the line OF demarca
tion beween the free trade aud protec-
tive States will not run as now, from
the East to the West along the Ohio
valley, but from the Southeast to the
Northwest. Political changes are
doubtless being wrought out by The
new industrial interests of the differ.
ent States, but 1t is not probable. Al
the News supposes, that there will il
the future be any sections solid in favol
| u or against protection.
