has been in terrible state Of dsstitution
in Cincinnati and Dayton, and came near

in the thtesher. works in this city. He
speaks bitterly Of the way the Govern

He says that the hams we're rotten and
the flour full OF ,weeyils which were fur

tion, and that in spite OF the fact that Ben
nett spent 100000, and the Government

them; Captain Spencer eays that when be

How He Educated an Octoroon and
Arterwnrd nnrrled Her. @

PHILADELPHIA, January 30 There IS
quite romantic history connected with
the courisbip and marriage to bus octoroon
wife Of Congressman Mackoy, Of South
Carolina, who died in Washington on
Monday. Mrs. Mackey's father was a
white man, one Of the celebrated Sumpter
family Of South Carolina, and her mother
q .quadroon, was Cecilia Preston, a sister
Of William Preston, turnkey at the Nine
teenth District Police Station, Eighth and
Lombard streets. Congressman Mackey
frat met bis future wife, vickey Sumpter,
when she WIS q girl Of twelve years ol age
and ho man Of twenty.three. At that
time she was child Of great beauty and
without any education. Mr.. Mackey felt
In love with her at first sight and determin.
ed to make her his wife. He gained her
mothers permission and sent the girl to
Oberlin College, in Ohio, 10 be educated at
bis Expense, that she might be fitted 10
become bis wife. She passed nearly Eve
years at Oberlsn, diligently pursuing her
studies, and corresponding with Mr.. Mac.
key, but never seeing him until the day
before abe was 10 be graduated. Her vaca.
tions had always been spent In Philadel-
phia with her uncle. William Preston,
with whom her mother and younger sister
resided. ~ Il -4
In the spring Of 1874, when she was to
be graduated, Mr.. Mackey came on from
Charleston and took Mis- Gumpter's
mother on with him to Oberlin TO witness
the commencement exercises and to bring
Miss Vlckey home. When Mr.. Mackey
met her there, after the five years. separa-
ton, she had grown, II possible, more beau.
tiiul than ever. She was highly accom-.
plished,- and received her diploma with
honors, after which Mr.. Mackey, the
young lady: and her mother came TO this
city and stopped at the Continental
Hotel. That evening Bishop Simpson was
sent Tor, and the young couple were mar
rled in sparlor G. The only witnesses to
the ceremony were the BRIDES mother, her
young sister RosaIie and William Preston,

IL other States Republicans are begin
ming to discuss the question Of representa-
lion in the next Republican National Con-
yention. This time there is to be district
representation, and Republicans are asking
how this representation can be made most
effective. The idea Of the new rule-a
considerable "reform within the party"-is
that the district delegates shall represent
the will OF their respective districts, and
the will Of nobody else: in ehort, that the
representative shall repre- 3ent the people
in whose name he acts. Thus the party is
to be brought as close ns it can be brought
TO the convention and the convention to
the party, aud a direct and short line Of re.
sponaibiliiy is established.
The district delegates could be elected
by popular vote at the primaries, by dis
.rict convention, or at the time Of the State
Convention by the delegates to that con-
yention from the counties composing the
Cougre ,sional district. It might be found
entirely safe to allow the district delegates
to be chosen at the time and place Of the
State Convention, which chooses the dele
gates-a,.large. On the other hand that
plan might be found to defeat the intent
OF the district rule. Men determined to
capture the whole delegation would natu.
rally prefer the State Convention plan.
That plan, it is true, would commend itself
10 districts not well provided with traus-
portatioa facilities, and which for this
reson might object to the trouble and ex-
pepse Of district convention. But it is the
duty and the interest Of Republicans 10 e1-
ert themselves to build up the National
Convention from the bottom, and build it
strong. 1t is duty which comes but once
in four years.
The party having demanded the reform,
ought to put it to the best use. The IN
TELllaEScER hopes that Republicans and
Republican newspapers will give express
ion on this point. 1.
