Fron "a Me1r ~ HeraLd


RALEIGH, n. G. Jan. 9.--FOr some time
past the Goldsborough papers the Times
and the IRteIrlqeRcer, have been at dag
gers drawn. statement was made by
the Times that Mr.. saw. Henley, the ed
itOr Of the IBtelLigeRGeT, was sailing IN
der false colors; that his real name was
not Henley and that he was in hiding. In
te-day's issue Of the Times sffidavits are
published to the effect that Mr.. Ren-
ley's name is really Sperry w. Hearn
and that ne came from Tappanhannock,
Va.
la tO.day's issue of the IBtelJjQeacer Ed.
itOr Henley relates his whole history aud
acknowledges that Sperry W. Hearn is
his proper name. The story be tells is
strange one. Fifteen years ago Henley
{ or Hearn, as he must now be called was
a printer at TappanhanBock in the en-
plOyment Of the Essex Gazette. There he
fell in love with a pretty school girl, and
from this single beginning all his future
troubles dRted. In 1874 a dark cloud
came between the girl and himself and
he attempted 10 commit suicide. He had
as a rival an eK-Union officer, and sought
to force him into duel or even street
fight For two months he kept the town
IN a state Of turmoil. This aroused the
indignation Of the people, aud all his
frieuds save one deserted him. He be-
came Disguised with his own folly and
decided 10 leave the place forever. In
October. 1874, he left Tappanhannock for
Baltimore. and there assumed the name
OF :. w. Henley, which until now he has
borne. Since that time the people Of
TappanhannOck have not heard Of his
whereabouts. For years they thought
him dead.
In conclusion he says: "Ihave now had
my say. / have endeavOred TO tell the
whole and entire truth, and have little
fear that the people OF Arson county Will
think less OF me now that they know a
little more Of my lite than they did when
they knew me simply as 5. w. Henley,
aud knew nothing Of my antecedents.
Having SAID this much / am done. forev-
err abjuring the name Of ;. ". Henley
thus laying aside the mask under which,
for nearly twelve years, | have hid my
folly. | subscribe myself as | desire in
future TO be called. Sperry W. Hearn."

BLAINRs FAST SKINNER.
The Maine Statesman Most Persis-
tent Yaohter.

AUGUSTA, ME-, Jan. 10.-Right through
the centre of this pretty city flows the
Kennebec river, famous for its great
''drives" of lumber and it's immense crop
of clear blue ice.
Snow is , feet deep upon the city
streets. but the,ice surface Of the Kenns-
bee is as clear as cut-elass. The great win
ter sport is ioe-yacbtIng, and this season
there are more and faster yachts IN use
than at any previous time. Every young
man who aspires to be fashionable owns
his ice-yacht, # il IS not much longer
than haud-sied, and the pretty girls pre-
fer dash over the glare ice 10 a sleigh
ride behind the fleetesr pair OF Maine trot-
ters.
The ice-yachts vary IN size from the lit
tie craft meant to carry but two persons
to the big boat in WAich a gOJ0-siZed
family can sit and still nave room enough
for guests. Although tie vachts differ IN
size, they are all constructed upon the
same principle. The work is so simple
that most any one can bulld his own boat
in day or two. Three wooden beams
are arranged somewhat in the shape Of
a letter Y. Tue sharp point is the now
ana under it is fastened a movable skate
or strip of steel, by which the course Of
the ice-boat is instantly changed in any
uGSlItU ulIGttiphs aNt<tta are Atftb litet-
ened under the stern or the boat, and with
the addition. OF sails the craft is ready for
use.
The speed OF some Of the ice-yachts 10
use upon the kennbec Is almost marvel
Gus.
Some of them have been known TO sail
faster tcan mile minute, aud it re-
quires the constant effort of the pretty
passengers to hold on their back hair
while they yacht is cOursing over the icy
surface.
The tracks OF the Main Central Rail-
road run along the river bank for some
miles, and racing between the Boston ex-
press and some of the fast ice-yachts
is daily occurrence. In most cases the
train IS quickly left behind, although
running at the rate Of iorty-dye miles an
hour.
The residence Of james q. Blaine is only
100 yards flom the river bank, and the
Maine statesman is one Oi the most per
sistent OF ice-yachters. Clad in "a big fur
overcOat and a fur cap, be always insists
upon steering the Yacht himself, and his
icp.bOat, tue "kenncbeckeI.' is one Of tlc
heetest crafts on the river.
Collisions are Of frequent occurrence,
and the force with whica the boats crash
together sometimes splits them into kind
ling wood. Serious injuries 10 the passen-
gers are infrcduent, however. rs expert
ence has shown them bow % slip over the

bic smash-up takes place.

letter TO be seen by the President. 1
urged that this opportunity to heal the
wounds OF Gen. Hancock should not be
al owed TO pass. Grant, in the month that
Meade died, had been reelected by an
| overwhelming majority. 1t would be a
graceful act to give Gen. Hancock this
command BETTING his rank.

sherman honorable to mis- sOldierly feel
ings, in which he said:
81 have just read your letter to the
President and believe he was impressed
with il just as you wanted. l surely have
always been anxious TO recognize Gen.
HancOck's claim, both on account of his
rank and eminent services, and told the
President that this was good chance to
do so by letting Hancock take Meade's
place in Philadelphia. Really, and in
truth, there is no reason for Keeping up
the Division of the Atlantic; it was done
outOf respect fer Meade, and the same
reason (which is good One) will sane
ton the assignment Of Gen. Hancock TO
IL, and | viii be glad il the President Will
do it. have never mad the least difference
with Gen. Hancock, but the President
did refuse to let him have a command
(Halleck's, at the South J, because OF the
belief that Gen. Hancock's opinions on
vital questions differed from his own.
There was also special reasons for Gen.
SchOfeld's going TO the Division OF his
Pacific, and TO this Gen. Hancock did take
exception, but the matter was clearly
within the province OF the President, and
once resolved on had to be submitted to
gracefully. Now, if the President Will
assign Hancock TO Philadelphia / will be
perfectly satisfied, and have so notified
him. Probably the matter will be con-
cluded, and announced by telegraph be-
fore you get this. For your kind express
sions of friendship and regard | am sure
Gen. Grant felt pleased, and l know that
| bear in honor all the sentiments you
express of Meade, Thomas and Mower,
and all the really good and great men who
have preceded us little to our common

The order assigning Hancock to the
Division OF the Atlantic was made, In
which command he still remains, and it
re-established entire friendly relations be-
tween him aud President Grant.

THE INVASION or DELAWARE.
Ancient Origin OF the Hostility of Mr..
BsYard for Gov. Curtin.
From tie Neio York World.

From tie Nel0 York World.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-All have won
dered at Bayard's antipathy to Gov
Curtin, and been curious to learn the real
reason. Curtin, while acting as Governor
of Pennsylvania during the early part Of
the war, heard from what he considered
a good source that certain Southern SYM
pathizers in Delaware and Baltimore had
lald plan to capture the Dupont powder
works, then the most important powder
mandatory controlled by the LOYAL in
terest. These works were three miles
from Wilmington. GOV. Curtin tele-
graphed what he had learned to the War
Department. He was instructed, in replv,
If ne believed this report TO be we'll found
ed 10 proceed with the State troops under
his command, with such support as might
be necessary, to defeat these reasonable
plans. Gov. Curtin promptly sent de-
tachment of Pennsylvania troops to guard
the powder works, whose supplies We're
absolutely necessary to the salvation of
the Army Of the Potomac. This move of
the loyal Governor was bitterly resented
by the States rights statesmen of Della
ware.
1t was made the occasion of a tremen-
dOus States right speech by Senator
James A. Bayard, father Of the present
Secretary Of State. 1t was also the Occa-
sion of the celebrated Dover speech Of
of Thomas +. Bayard, which speech was
one Of the causes of his being defeated for
the nomination at Chicago last year
His father, after ne made the speech at
lacking Curtin, for the invasion of the
sacred soil OF Delaware, passed through
Philade phia on his way home. Thomas
f. Bayard was with him. A Union mob
hooted them and threw stones at them.
1t is not, therefore, to De wondered at that
the name OF Curtin is hateful to Bayard.
This chapter Of earlier history, now
nearly forgotten is neces sary 10 be known
TO understand the reason why Secretary
Bayard refusd to even consider Gov.
Curtln's recommendations last summer.
and why he worked 50 hard TO hunt him
away from the head OF the Foreign Affairs
Committee.
