WASHINGTON, March 10, 1882.
A few very innocent remarks in a
former letter relating to Senator
Coke's peculiar graces of oratory
seem to have aroused the anger of
one of that gentleman's most rabid
ne Tspaper reporters, who has forth
with proceeded to yentilate some
very severe structures on the sub
Ject. This ls pity-not the strict
ures, but the anger. The newspaper
in question ought not to allow its
passions to arise at such a simple
thing as a taint--a very faint-pic-
ture of the honorable senator's evolu-
tionary gymnastics on the floor Of
congress. It ought rather to keep
cool, hunt up its old school books,
and copy few elementary rules on
the art of delivery for the benefit of
the senator it supports so furiously.
This would be rendering its idol q
substantial benefit, and would, if ef-
fective, deprive me of my most fu-
tile amusement. Whether that
great tariff explosion was
as stupenduous speech
Gs Mr.. Coke and his newspaper or
gan imagines, is for his constituents
to judge. The majority of your
readers are, fear, benighted
enough to insist that my sex makes
1t impossible for me to be a compe-
tent judge, no matter how long l
might study tariff, or how much
midnight oil l might burn seeking
out the mysteries of "protcction !"
but be the speech good, bad, or in
different, no one can deny that the
astonishing and athletic style of its
delivery

ALLUDING to the anti-Bourbon
movements in various southern
states, the Chicago Tribune, ultra
Radical, says that they have spread
"with determination and enthusi-
asm which will either compel the
Bourbon Democracy to adopt more
liberal platforms or turn these states
over, for time at least, 10 the Re-
publican party" From which it
will be seen that the Republican pa
pers north and west recognize no
difference between .lntependentism
and Simon pure Republicanism.
