every heroic and courageous minis

ave hold that the proper attitude

filiations, we do express the opinion
that they should not allow them

The efforts ofthe Democrats to keen
step with the tariff and anti-tariff
music in their ranks are suggestive
of a little story of bygone Boston
days. Old Rummy was a famous
member of the Ancient and Honora-
BILE Artillery Company. One day
when marching through Beacon st.
before the Governor. his steps were
noticed to be very irregular. "Uncle
Rummy," said a friend, "you must
have been taking too much tangle-
foot" mot a bit of it," said the old
man. "But there's band both be-
fore and behind our company, and L
am trying to march to two tunes"

There is something refreshingly
wary about the tone in which the

we shall have an old-fashioned fight
worthy of our better and victorious
days."

Victoria Home Again.

New YORK, Sept 13.-It was dcfii-
nitely ascertained to-day that a recon
ciliation has taken place between Mr..
Morosini and his daughter, Victoria,
and that she is now in her fathers
house, whittier she went upon leaving
her husbands home eleven days ago
A little less than two years of life with
the man for whom she had rorssken
ease and luxury has apparently salts
fled her that she took a false step, and i,
required but little persuasion to induce
her to return home.
The chief agent in bringing about the
reconciliation was George b. Mcclellan
who lives at the Wcstmoreiand, and il
was he who arranged several conferences
between Victoria and her father. The
last took place the Sunday before her
disappearance, and was held in this city
and it was then that she was finally
forgiven and agreed to return to her
home
That divorce from Schilling will be
obtained is unguestiored. That the
husband will receive $4,000 or any
other sum is only known to the persons
Immediately concerned. Young Nc
Clellan has gone on an extended vaca-
ton to Europe. and will probably visit
Paris and the East before he sees New
York again. In talking to friend

celved here that Mr.. Scdgwick's broth
cr-in-law had charged that Minister
Jackson and his friends concoctcd the
stories Of Mr.. Sedgwick's conduct here.
much Indignation was aroused in the
American colony. This morning a call
was published for an American meeting
at half past three this afternoon, tho cali
being signed by thirty five of the most
prominent members OF the American
colony. The meeting was large and
harmonious, and was composed Of lead
ing Americans, among them being six
ministers Of the Gospel. General Jack
sons carncs!neSs, patriotism and ability
was strongly and enthusiastically in
dorsed by Il unanimous vote. Consul
General Porch's telegram to Mr.. Bayard
dcnouncing Mr.. Scdgwick was also in
dorsed with but two dissenting votes.
The following resolutions were adept
ed
Resolved, That we hereby tender the
Hon. Henry r. Jackson our heartfelt
thanks for the fidelity and zeal with
which he has ever cspoused the cause
Of his countrymcn residing in this Re-
public.
Resolved, That we appreciate the SUI
pcrb ability he has at all times brought
to bear in projecting the interests Of
those whom it is his mission to defend
ard the evidence he has constantly cx-
hibited Of II keen perception Of the man
fold phrases Of his duty.
Resolved, That Gen. Jackson, by the
purity and uprishtncss Of his character,
his manly independence, sincerity of
purpose. patriotism and loyalty to the
government, has at MI times inspired US
with pride that such Il man should have
been sent to represent the United States
Government at this capital.
Resolved. That the late attacks made
upon Gen. Jackson in the press Of the
United States arc entirely uncallcd for
and not in any sense justified by the
facts. We view with pain and indigna-
tion the attempts being made to nscribe
unworthy motives TO him in connection
with recent deplorable occurrence, and
express sincere regret that silence and
forbearancc on the part Of resident
Americans in regard to said occurrence
are being used as weapons to iniure
their honored representative, whose
character we regard as above rcproach,
and hereby publicly express onr admi-
ration Of the manly, honorable and dig
nified course pursued by him during the
exciting events Of the last few weeks.
After these resolutions the following
was passed:
Resolved, That this meeting indorse

sui General Porch to Secretary Bayard
as stating correctly the facts of the

LUCIUS EAIRCHILD
Commander in Chief CT. 4. Il.


Governor Fairchild said last night that
he could say nothing more than is said
IN the appeal. He and Col. Gray were
both appalled, at the situation here and
recognized the necd for liberal and i'm
mediate aid. lie was convinced that a
large sum o? money was needed for this
and he was confident that his comrades
IN the North and West would make an
immediate and liberal response to the
call for help.
Governor Fairchild was general in
the Union Army during the war and lost
an arm in battle. He commanded the
FIRST corps Of the army Of the Potomac.
Col. Gray commanded the 2Sth Wiscon-
SIN regiment, and like Gen. Farchild
served with distinction through that
long and fearful struggle.
