The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer is response.
bic for the telling Of the following
amusing incident:
A great deal of curiosity has been
manifested among Republican poll
uciaas here to- witness the first meet
ing of Blaine and Logan and see how
the distinguished candidates would
greet each other. They met on
Pennsylvania avenue only q day OF
two ago. Blaine was riding in q
carriage and Logan was returning
from the Senate on foot. They
sighted each other fully q block
away, and when the carriage was
about passing Blaine raised his hat
in most dignified manner. Logan
cleared his throat and shouted
"lTow are you, Burchard2"
Blaine's face flushed for an IN
slant, and he looked embarrassed
Then he smiled, and Logan went
into the street and both men shook
hands heartily. The incident was
Witnessed by several citizens, and
is being repeated at Blaine's ex
pense.

Mr.. Beecher is credited with the
following: "As to my late political
course, felt that the great party
which will go down TO history
crowned with honor for its works
would receive the last blossom OF
honor if it brought in a sentiment
of unity and love for every part OF
the country. This was the best
thing to be done. | was bitterly
disappointed when this was not
thought of. God is my witness,
would have shed tears of joy and
laid down my life if only the Re-
publican party had put into its
platform a welcome to the South
and had E,ade Southern man one
of its great candidates. I was in
dead earnest in the canvass"

certain declaration of his to the eff
feet that if every man who had VIC
lated the 7th Commandment should
vote for Cleveland his majority
would be 100000; and then as if to
prove his saying, voted for the
President-elect himself. 1t strikes
us as rather subsequent for these
captious church members to be
raising fuss with Mr.. Beecher on
such a score as this, for if every
preacher who has violated the 7th
Commandment were held to a scru
pulous account therefor, the tcsti-
mony is very convincing that Plym-
outh Church would long since have
been without the services of heI
present pastor.

The Natchez Democrat learns
from the best authority that ar
engagements have been completed
looking to the extension of the N. j.
i C.. Railroad to Macon and Colum-
bus, and the change of the gauge to
the standard gauge of four feet
eight and half inches, and the
laying of the track with the best
character of steel rails; in short, for
making to the points named a road
that will be first class in every re-
spect.

Ex- President Davis was inter
viewed by reporter of the Vicks-
burg Post recently while on his way
from his Mississippi plantation to
his home at Beauvior. After declar.
ing that he never discussed politics, he
expressed the belief that in the cleo
ton OF Mr.. Cleveland to the Presi.
dency an era of good feeling is as
sured, similar to that secured by the
election of Mr.. Monroe. He declined
to express an opinion upon the for
nation of his Cabinet, but feels
confident Mr.. Cleveland will call
to his aid the ablest men of the party
and upon the whole he predicts o
most prosperous era both for the
South and the North growing out oil
the success of the Democracy. He
pleasantly waived discussion of tht
General Sherman newspaper contro
versy, further than to say, the news
paper so far have the last of it.
Mr. Davis appears in excellent
spirits and is enjoying his usua
good health.
