THE JoHNsON.HIGLEY CASE.
Mrs. johnson Thinks Her Husband Insane
She Sues for Absolute Divorce. !'


Collected from New York Papers.
Mrs, Eli Johnson has decided to fight back
againt her husband who accuses her of inn
proper intimacy with Henry A. Hgley, the
wealthy commission merchant whom Mr..
Johnson has sued for 100000 damages for
seduction, etc. Mrs. Johnson to-day began
suit in the City Court for an absolute divorce,
on the ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment 1t is only fair to the lady to say
that many of the congregation of Plymouth
Church thoroughly sympathize with her and
believe that her relations with Mr. Higley,
which are admitted to have been friendly,
were pure and innocent. 1t is said that Mr.
Johnson is trying to bring about reeoncil-
tain any proposition of that kind.
Mrs Johnson was seen by reporter of the
World. She is a handsome woman, about forty
five years old, and was not at all embarrassed
while conversing with the reporter. She said
"that the statement of Ford, the detective was
wholly true, and that Mr.. johnson could not
be believed under oath. Mr.. Hlgley, seniors,
statement" continued Mrs. Johnson, 'is
also true, in regard to the rooms l occupied
in the boarding house after l left home, IL
home it can be called, for Mr. Johnson did
not supply me with even the necessaries of
life. Jealousy has probably caused my hus-
band to take this step, for do not know of
any trouble with his mind He had trouble
with his brain last December But do not
wish to talk on this subject; / am willing to
let fair-minded people judge between myself
and Mr.. Johnson"

New Haven Comm Special.

new Haven CConn.) Special
Mrs. Reid widow of Colonel Reid brother
of Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Trb-
une was married in this city, on Friday. to
John NJ, Quackenbos, of Brooklyn. She
came here ten days ago, alone, and at first
went to the Tontine Hotel but subsequently
took room at the Selden House II was
soon whispered about that she was waiting
the arrival of her intended husband, and
that they were to be quietly welded in
church. 1t was reported that the groom was
gentleman of large wealth, much the sem
Tor in age, and bearing an old and respected
name. All this proved to be true Mrs. Reid
is about thirty-eight years old, while her hus-
band is seventy. She received the BRIDE
groom this morning, in the hotel parlcrs,
and later in the day they were quietly mar
ried and then took the train for New York
1t is supposed that it is runaway match,
and that Mr.. Quackenbos had good reasons
to evade certain relatives who have been anx-
iously awaiting the final disposition of his
property. The sequel, it is thought, may
not be unlike that OF the famous Hicks Lord
case in New York.
New York Tribune, Saturday
New Haven dispatch to the New York
Times, yesterday, reported another Hicks
Lord affair" "a runaway match between
John NJ. Quackenbos, of Brooklyn, and.NIrs
Reid, widow of Colonel Reid, brother of
Whitelaw Reid of New York" The groom
in the Brooklyn papers last night, says there
was no runaway and will be no Hicks-Lord
business; and the statement about the bride
is equally inexact, since Mr.. Whitelaw Reid's
only brother survived his wife six months
and has been dead for twenty years.

An old and crippled gate ana I,
And twenty years have passed

Betwixt those posts so fast;
But now I've grown so powerful weak
Despised by man and beast
I'm scarcely strong enough to squeak.
Although I'm never creased.

Came kind of hanging round my way
Most every other night.
He hung upon my starboard side

TIL Susan Smith became his bride,
And in due time mother.
Igroaned intensely when heard
Despite 1 am no churl-
My doom breathed in q single word;
The baby was girl!
And as she grew and grew and grew,

For she was very fair to view.
And II was the gate!
Then, in due time lover came,
Betokening my ruin,
A dapper fellow, Brown by name,i

They sprang upon me in the gloam,
And talked of moon and star;
They are married now and live at home
Along with ma and pa.
Ny lot was happy for year.
No counting night or day

Bad luck would come my way.
But oh !! this morning, save the mark!
There came wild surprise,
A shadow fitted grim and dark
Across my sunny skies.
A doctor, with a knowing smile.
A nurse with face serene,
A hustle in the house the while,

My hinges ache; the lock is weak,
My pockets in a whirl;

Riddleberger Speaks.

We will not trouble our readers with
q reproduction of the long-winded story
told by correspondent of the Baltimore
San, respecting an interview with the
junior Senator from Virginia, Mahone's
t'Me too.n It is enough to say that Mr..
Riddleberger comedies that the debt
question is virtually settled-that as
judicial question it Is closed; but that it
must, and will be kept open as q politi-
cal question, and for political effect
And so, this man, who, in an evil hour
was lifted to position to which, under
other circumstances, he could never rea.
sonably have aspired, and under no 9th
or than those existing at the time, could
have reached, coolly avows the purpose
of himself and his party, to play the role
of agitators with dead question, to
serve the ends of their selfish ambition
With q few people, who are like
minded. and have little care for the
honor and welfare of Virginia as Mr..
Riddleberger seems to entertain, this
outlining Of the policy of the agitators
may serve its purpose; but we shall be
| greatly mistaken, if any considerable
| number of the white Democrats of Vir-
! ginia. who have been misled heretofore,
and find themselves betrayed NOW into
| an unnatural alliance with the Stalwart
wing of the Republican party can be
longer deceived. They engaged, origi-
| nalIy, in the effort to secure readjust-
ment, because they thought it right and
proper; but never started in this course
with any view to landing in the Repub-
lican party, and especially the worst
faction thereof. Nor do we believe that,
simply to preserve the power of William
Malone, and to keep adventures In or
flee, they will consent longer to be led
by men who have unlearned all they
were taught about Democratic princi-
| pies, and ablured all ideas of political
honesty. As the Petersburg Mail well
.If Mr.. RiddIeberger thinks that the
mass of the people of Virginia are stark
idiots, he might at least have kept his
opinion to himself; and if he felt con-
tempt for them as the popular judges in
this matter he might very readily, as
Currans once did, have studiously con-
tempt for the court. But here he am
nounces that the question is to be re-
opened; evidently trusting that the
masses are 80 crack-brained and 80 fee
BILE of intellect-that they will at once
gulp down the utter nonsense which he
| and other coalitionists will endeavor to
make them accept as inspired truth"
| We have a better opinion of the in.
| telligence and moral reetit1de Of the
white people of Virginia, than this two.
| penny politician seems to entertain
and we believe that all who are not In
| Office, or hungry for the spoils that have

tied, there is no longer any reason te

History versus Credulity.

There is prevalent and apparently
ineradicable error IN the minds of the
negro population, that the war was
waged for their emancipation. Moth
ing could be farther from the fact. At
ter Mr.. Linc0ln's election, lin Deem
Der, 1867 he wrote as follows to Alex
ander 81. Stephens
"Do the people of the South really en-
terrain fears that Republican Admin
istration would, directly or indirectly,
interfere with the slaves, or with them
about their slaves? If they do, wish
to assure you, as once friend and still
| hope not as an enemy, that there ia NO
cause for such fears"
The negroes are taught to regard Lin
coin as the modern Moses, raised up by
Heaven to lead them through the Red
Sea of carnage to the "happy land OF
Canaan" Well, il that be SO this much
is certain, they were led by way that
the guides at the first saw not, and did
not mediate. After Lincoln W as elect
ed President (but before his Inaugural
tion) he wrote as above quoted that the
Republican Administration would not
directly nor indirectly interfere with
the slaves, nor with their masters about
the slaves" In his inaugural message,
and in q subsequent message to Con-
gress, he reiterated this sentiment. And
at the memorable Fortress Monroe in.
terview between Mr.. Lincoln and the
Confederate Commissioners, as late we
believe as the Fall of 1864, Mr. Lincoln
proposed among the conditions of peace
that the slaves should remain such ex-
cept in the localities where they had
been liberated by actual Federal occu-
patton. Now these are the stern facts
of history. The application we make
of them 10 simply this: The negroes
owe their emancipation to the eventp-
ality of the war; not to q premeditated
purpose on the part of the North to set
them free at the point of the bayonet.-
Mr.. Lincoln and all his Cabinet, and
every body at the North. except a hand
full of fanatics. were always willing and
urgent to end the war and leave the
slaves in bondage. And 80 the liberia
ted slaves owe them nothing. And yet
the deluded negroes yield ready Gre
dence to the mendacious pretensions of
these hypocrites who want their votes
solely as stepping stones to office and
power. They will trust and follow the
most audacious liar and scoundrel who
may drift down South in search of plum
der, rather than the men whom they
have known all their lives to be honest,
upright and truthful. -Lynchburg Var-
