prominent town in the south soon
after J0hnsOn's surrender. and befnre
anyhody's temper had. cooled down.

TACT be known. He was from Con.

1t. He hadn't heen in the town two
hours before an 'unregenerated' pull

"Ah-yes !" said the man from
Connecticut. "Was that accidental ?''
"No. sir J No, sir! ~ was the fierce
rejoinder.
"Did it purpose, eh ?''
"Of course did"
"WelI, l shouldn't a-thought il of
you! I'll pass it over as a case of
temporary insanity"
An hour later. as h. sat in the ho-

"You must have wohbIe on your

"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
"You shouldn't do so. When I'm

In the afternoon he was given the
hint that he had better leave town at
once, and when he demurred, law

"What is it for?" asked the Yankee
as he read the missive.
"You insulted him, and he de-
mands satisfaction" explained the
messenger.

"No, sir !"

The publication Of the Cincinnati En-
ouier OF a letter written by Murat Hal
stead to Secretary Chase twenty-five years
ago turns out to have been stolen from
the desk Of Mr.. j. U. shuckers, now OF
Philadelphia, formerly private secretary
10 Chase. This is the explanation given
by Mr.. shuckers. The 1SrRLLIGEScER
knows him and believeshim to bea truth
ful man:
Mr.. Hslstead has made a manly defense
Of himself. OF course the publication Of
the letter asgiven him pain. The fact that
even The earnestness Of his love for the
throne he had misjudged such consplcu-
GUS champions of the Union as Lincoln,
Stanton and Grant would Of itself be sut-
ficient cause OF regret and modification.
His letter can be defended on the
ground Of an important loyalty
not confined to Mr.. Halstead, Of
transformation touching essential
tlcta, to the general state OF the loyal
mind every where when the Union cause
seemed to be suffering at the hands Of the
enemy. Those were war times, and senti-
lnents uttered then in the confidential re-
lation Of friendship are not to be weighed
and measured 81 though they had been
spoken in calmer times or with intent to
enbarrass the Union cause. Mr.. Halstead's
motive was good. His heart was right.
What is to be said of those who are re-
pponsible for the theft Of private CORE
tpondenceP First it was theft-an of
Tense punishable with imprisonment. The
motive Of the publicationwas bad. There
was no pretense or possibility Of accom-
plishing good end. It was spitetul and
malicious act. Mr.. Halstead's position is
,aore desirable than that Of the persons
who have tried to drag him down.

The end Of the Ohio campaign is very
near. The canvass has been one Of the
most active in the history Of State noted
Tor It's capacity and readiness in matters
OF this kind. The situation SO near the
close Of campaign has never been so
much complicated. Each side makes
claims, but neither is confident OF the re-
suit.
Republicans have this to go on: that
Ohio is a Republican State; that the DEM
ocratic party has triaed with the people
ON the liquor question, trying to carry
whisky on one shoulder and water on the
other; that the Democratic State Admins
tration has squandered the revenues; that
the Democratic Supreme Court, bowling
70 the will Of the party managers, has cut
OF more than 100000 OF annual reve'
nue. produced by the Scott law and at the
same time had neither the honesty OF
the courage TO rule that the liquor
men were entitled to receive back the
money taken ON them, as the Count
said, without warrant in the Constitu'
ton; that the late Legislature, being Dem
Ocratic, sold seat in the United States
Senate and otherwise behaved scandal
ously; that the non.political prohibition
lists have had their eyes opened to the
understanding between the Democratic
managers and the Third Party manipula'
Tors. Notwithstanding all this, the result
must remain in doubt SO long as the
Third Party strength is undetermined.
The coming joint discussion between
Foraker and Hoadly, on Thursday night
utToledo and on Saturday night at Gin
cinnati, has intensified public interest
Foraker's friends feel confident that he is
more than match for Hoadly. II this
confidence has reference to ekill in de-
late, 1t may be doubted whether it 10
wellfounded. Hoadlyis an accomplished
man, Of abundant resource, OF keen and
ready wit, expert in the tactics Of in,
tellectual fence. Foraker has been re-
parded rs having solid ability and strong
reasoning power, with sledge-hammer to
drive his points in. In his two cam
raigns he has displayed also lighter
vein which pleases his audience and wor-
ries the opposition. The advantage that
Foraker will have lies in the weak points
Of his anti onist's armor and the cause
he champions. Hoadly's record is ynl-
nerable, and so is that of his party, and
skilliully handled this will turn the tide
strongly against Hoadly. The Democrats
are anxious about the outcome OF the
i,int discussion, but they insisted on
having 1t, and now they have their
chance to make the most oft.
