characterization To
Follow.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. 1s92.-The news
of this morning from Santiago that the
Chilean Government will Immediately
withdraw the Malta note and also the
request for Minister Egan's recall occa-
sions profound interest in official circles
here.
1t is expected that during the day Min

and confer with him as to the latest phase
of the situation, but this had not been
done up to II o'clock
1t is insisted here that as soon as this
latest communication is officially re-
ceived from Chile the President must ad-
wise Congress, so that the two committees
of that body now considering the Chilean
matters may be kept instructed up to
date.
While the withdrawal of the Malta note
and of the request for Egan's recall
would greatly simplify matters, there
would still remain grave questions to coz
slider.
The President In his message has called
for an apology from Chile for the Baltl-
more affair per sc and that, at bottom, is
the bone of contention between the Two
nations.

An Unpublished Letter from Henry "A.
Wise.
DuNSsyILLE. Va, December 3, 1892.

DUNNsyILLE, Va, December 3, 1892.
To tie Editor Of ne DlSDd'ch:
As the currency appears to be forging to
the front as a subject OF first importance
for congressional procedure and presl-
Dental consideration IN the near future. l
take the liberty of furnishing the DISPATCH
with letter TO me from the late Hon.
Henry A. Wise, written as far back as jan
uary, 1875, from which 1t will be observed
that even at that early period the currency
was entertaining the minds of at least
some OF our great statesmen.
The letter may be interesting 70 some or
the readers Of the DISPATCH, coming from
so distinguished a man, and Is as follows {:
RIcHNoND, Va. January %, 1875.
Dear SRI take it for granted that you
cannot doubt what my opinions are about
the action of the Federal Government, the
Congress. and President towards Lou
isiana.
General Grant had an opportunity, af-
ter being freed from Stevens, Stanton,
Sumner. Seward, and Greeley. TO have in
augurated patriotic policy, which would
have poured balm into the wounds or war
and have restored halcyon days of peace
to the South.
Ihsd a hope at one time he would allow
the good genius Of the country to be his
genius, and if he had he would have left
his office and left this world for a better,
happy and blessed. But he has proved
himself to be but military martlnet-has
obeyed the orders of that hydia monster
Congress. and has broken owners" After
carrying out a prosecuting attorney-gen-
erals law and sending Sheridan to raid a
| legislature. give up all hope in him. But
| Congress has lost its prestige OF power; he
| will be turned neck and heels out OF office.
The owners of the real wealth Of the ma
ton are surely and strongly about the
work of reforming the currency, and a
revolution is commenced which lcan't go
| backwards, and which will certainly build
up new order for new era.
That is my only hope Of saving the re-
public, its laws, and its liberty. Yours
truly, HENRY A. WISE.

The Genuine and the sham.

that So-and-So's" article is the best OF
the kind. Tho sham proves the genuine
merit Of the thing II copies. and never has
this been better illustrated than by the
mutations OF Ailcoek's Porous Plasters.

To ne Editor Of The Dispatch:
viii the editor of the DIspATcH kindly
answer in his column Of queries How it is
that with the sweeping victory lately gain
ed by the Democrats for President and
Vice President their majority IN the lower
house of Congress has been reduced in the
Fifty-third Congress almost one halfl
And this beng the case, how we can
cherish any hope TO destroy very soon the
Republican majority in the Senate?
J.T.B.
The majority Of the Democrats in the
Fifty-second Congress Is AS. In the Fifty
third it will be 90, which is about one third
less.
The Democrats carried the legislatures
of New York. Wisconsin. Montana, Wyo-
ming, and possibly California, which will
give them five more senators than at pres
ent.
Kyle. of South Dakota, votes with the
Dem ocrats. This will make As Democratic
votes Republicans, 40, and Populists, g.
that is to say. counting PETER and with
Kansas and Nebraska to elect.
The Republican majority in tie Senate
has been destroyed.

HOG ISLAND NOW HOMEWooO.
A Description of the Grand Estate OF Ed
ward 4. Barney,
WINDSOR. Va. December 8, 1892.

ward 4. Barney.
WINDSOR. Va. December 8, 1892.
To he Editor of he DlSDdtch:
Noticing your suggestion that the name
Of one of the two places in Virginia which
you say are called Hog Island be changed,
| beg leave to call your attention to the fact
that the name of the original " Hog Island
which is in James river and part of Surry
county, and now owned by MIR. Edward h.
Barney, formerly Of Dayton, Ohio, has al
ready been changed to Homewood."
The change is regretted by many who
valued the unpoetic name. not for its
beauty. but on account of its historical as
sociations, TO which you have referred IN
your paper. But Mr.. Barney being a man
of aesthetic taste and considerable wealth
(though extremely modest with, by the
way, has not only changed what was a
broad waste of marsh and mlre before he
purchased il into a place of beauty and
value. out has also givenlt name more III
accordance with Its present condition.
Neither is it now an island. but by artifi-
cial means and at great expense has been
Joined to the mainland.
There are few more beautiful OF valua-
bic farms in the State than Homewood, A."
and q stranger passing on James river
would never recognize the beautiful land
scape it presents from boat or wharf, as
the island, which formerly afforded a habi-
tation only for Wild hogs. Mr.. Barney and
his family spend the greater portion of
their time at Homewood, and have sur
rounded themselves with every comfort
which money can afford or taste suggest.
The island alone contains about :, 300
acres, q part of which Is woodland, and
the rest Is in q fine state of cultivation.
The marsh is kept arabic by tremendous
steam force-pump, which keeps the water
flowing night and day during the wet sea-
sons and ut very high tides through i'm
mense canals and bitches. The wild geese,
ducks. deer, and smaller game which
range there make 1t attractive 10 sports
men, while the bathing, boating, fishing.
etc.. give IL a charm TO the fortunate
summer guests. MIR. Cleveland or any one
else in search OF rest and retirement
might congratulate themselves upon being
able 70 spend q season there, for Mr.. Bar
ney has made this former abode of swine
indeed worthy of the name he has given it.
1t was my privilege for several years,
upon invitation of MIR. Barney. 10 consider
Homewood nv home" and to preach on
Sunday afternoons TO the large number of
white people who are employed there,
while colorsd preacher did, and does yet,
the like for the colored employees.
Ii may be matter of regret that the
original Hog Islands name has been
changed. on account of its place in history
but il would indeed have been inconsistent
to have retained it, considering the other
changes that have been made. Rev. Il. b.
Shepherd, the Baptist pastor at Bacon s
Castle, another historical place, about
seven miles from Homewood, is the present
pastor also at Homewood.
Pardon this long effusion; but the desire
to correct your error inspired it.
Very respectfully.
