SHE RETURNED TO THE SPIRITS.
Henry II. Grnhnm's Reason for Leaving
His Wife. One of the Bangs sisters.

Henry ID. Grn hams Renson for Leaving
His Wife, One of the Bangs sisters.
CHICAGO. April 16.-An answer was filed by
Henry H. Graham to-day to the suit for divorce
of his wife, Mary E. Graham, one of the Bangs
sisters. of spiritualIst fame. Mrs. Graham has
twice sued Graham for divorce The first time
there was reconciliation, but it did not last
long. Mrs. Graham charges that Graham pre-
tended to marry her in New York before JUS
tice of the Peace and it was not until year
afterward that she discovered the Justice"
was friend of Graham's, and had no author
ity to marry anyone. Graham subsequently
married her legally. but treated her with great
cruelty she averred, CONF mpelling her to twice
leave him. On the first occasion when she first
sued him she secured a writ of ne exeat, pre-
venting his leaving the State. She said he de-
posted $3.50 in bonds in bank in their loint
name as a guaranty that he would not depart
but that he went back on this agreement and
fled to Peru She was unable, however, TO get
the bonds.
Graham denies having fed to Peru and
denies that the woman is his wife. He says
she is spiritalist, who induced credulous
and simple minded persons to pay money to
have her communicate with their friends IN the
other world. Mr.. Graham says his wife says
Spirituaism was trIckery. and that she begged
him not to expose her. He put up the bonds
conditioned on her giving up her fraudulent
practices and living an honest life but she
turned to the seance, trance and medium busi-
ness and he pulled the string attached to the
bonds and landed them back in his pocket.
He says he was never married to May and
prays to be "hence dismissed without costs or

he admitted the tuba player. There are

THE LAST REVISION.

After what at one time bade fair to be an
interminabIe succession of changes for
ward and backward, the tariff bill was re-
ported to the House yesterday. 1t is ac-
companied by the majority report of the
Committee on WAYS and Means, which is
summarized elsewhere, and argues the
merits of the bill more fully than can be
done within the limits of a single editorial
article.
The important changes from the pro-
visions as stated in the last summary of the
bill are those with regard to sugar and
hides. Sugar below No. 16 is made free of
dutv, and above that grade is given a pro-
lection of four-tenths of cent per pound,
which lust about covers the labor cost OF
refining sugar. The sugar producers are
compensated for this sharp reduction by
a bounty of cents per pound, which is
somewhat below the average protection at
present. Hides are also left on the free
list
A study of these changes will show that
they are marked improvements. Sugar, an
article OF universal consumption, is to be
made as cheap here as elsewhere. The
power of a combination to enhance its price
will be completely shattered. The produc-
ton of domestic sugar will be stimulated by
the bounty; while sugar refners have pro-
lection equal to the wages which they must
pay to refine sugar. This adjustment pro-
tects all legitimate interests and abollshes
the illegitimate combination which has
levied excessive profits on this staple for the
past few years.
The final decision as to hides is also wise.
1t is we'll known that under that arrange
ment the leather industry has been prosper
ous. while the production of cattle has null
tiplied. At present the cattle interests are
depressed; but il is due to the expansion of
production and other causes with which the
tariff has nothing to do A duty of Is per
cent on hides would have made no appre-
ciable difference in the price received by
cattle raisers, while it would undoubtedly
have hampered the leather industry.
The bill is now fairly launched in the
shape that has been stated. That there will
be hard fights over many of its provisions is
a foregone conclusion; and in what shape it
will be when Congress gets through with it
requires political prophet to foretell.

Seven young ladies. without sign of man

as it steamed out of Pittsburg last evening
bound for Cincinnati. They constitute the first
excursion party of the season, and they were a
merry party. claiming Ashland Ky as their
home. Mr.. ]. F. Ellison, the gentlemanly
captain and partial owner of the boat, said:
Yes this is the first excursion of the season
for us, and it is about two weeks earlier than
usual. The river is delightful now, and these
young ladies are taxing advantage of it. Don't
you think it speaks well for our country and
for the mode of travelling, when a party of
young ladies from l6 to 20 years of age. without
male escort or mature female to remind
them OF propriety. feel at perfect liberty to

were not attributes of the weeks pleasure, as

"Do you often have such pleasant parties

Yes, we have very delightful people travel
with us during the season, which lasts up to the
first of August. OF course our passengers are
people to whom time is no object, and they
generally start out with the intention of hay

who are more congenial to us than others. and
to whom we take greater delight in showing
little attentions. The most trying passenger
we encounter is the woman with the numerous

IFROM STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
WAsHINGToN, April l6.-It is exceedingly
difficult to get expressions of opinion from
Congressman in regard to the Governorship, as
they are deeply interested, to the last man of
them, in their own reelection. A round dozen
of the Pennsylvania members who were seen
by THE DISPATCH correspondent to-day, gave
vent to round dozen of opinions as like as any
dozen of peas. They agreed that either Mon
tooth, Delamater or Hastings would make a
good Governor, and one and all declared en-
Enthusiastically for the nominee of the con-
veDtion. Beyond that they had nothing to say
except that they were candidates for renomna.

Representative Dalzell was more outspoken
than the others. He thought that Justice
Paxson would be happy solution Of the Gov
ernorship,quarre, if be would consent to be
candidate Mr.. Dalzell had no information on
which to base a guess whether the Chief JUS
tice would consent to the use of his name, but
another friend of Judge Paxson, who has seen
him recently, expressed strong doubt in re-
gard to the matter. This gentleman stated
that he and the Judge conversed upon the sub
ject OF the latter's going into politics. the con-
versation having been turned in that direction
by remark of the Judge expressing regret
that he had not gone into politics in early life.
The friend suggested that it was not yet too
late, and that a good time to come out was for
the succession of Senator Cameron in the
United States Senate.

THE PITTsBURG DISPATCH, most enter
prising and entertaining newspaper, has started
out an expedition to investigate the country
roads of the State. This is a stupendOus under
taking that is if THE DISPATCH proposes to
make a thorough and complete investigation,
and the result of THE DISPATCH corps search
will be looked for very eagerly. If The Dis
PATCH people want to see country road, than
which there is no worse all the State over, it
should come to Harrisburg ard send its re-
porters out over the Linglestown road. 1t
would then see what is a shame and burning
disgrace to the people who have had charge OF
that road, and against which public meeting
has been held to demand that it no longer be
permitted to exist. There are other roads in
Dauphin and Cumberland, York and Franklin
counties that are equally as bad, but we have a
commission now to codify and arrange road
law for the control of all the roads in the State,
and in due time-say half dozen years-we
may be happy yet with fairly respectable roads.
The DISPATCH. while it is about it, might also
ascertain the sentiment of the people as to
whether it is best to pay road tax direct or to
permit the taxable to work it out on the road.
