Tenney, of Brooklyn, re- sponded. He congratulated the Spellbinders on the auspicious occasion which bad brought them together. As to Lincoln, no man ever stepped on the arena to accomplish more good than he. We revere the memory of Washing- ton.” said he, “and all the patriots who have walked sun-crowned into history, but none lie so near the American heart as Lincoln. His life was @ monotone pitched on a minor key, which seemed to foreshadow its tragic en: His life was as stainless as crystal. Mr. Lincoln was greater than any office, grander than any station, H's memory is fast becoming as sacred to the south ax north.

It is proper that the first act of the new administra~ tion should begin a brillant career by adding to the Union four more new states. The addi- tion of these new states is but the result of re- publican rule. The republican party has ob- literated the western frontier. of the east in now in the Dakotas and amid the Rockies.” Judge Miller was interrupted by juent cheers for the new states. The Speli- binders gave three lusty cheers for Warner Miller. “THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND ITS BIRTR” was responded to by Gen. Wm. H. Gibson, of Ohio. The republican party, he said, was born of conscience. When asked “Shall we be free or slave?” this was born in answer that freedom should be the watchword. “Our first conflict cost us the defeat of John C. Fremont,” said the speaker. “but we educated the people to the idea of freedom. nations of the earth said the country wax dead. but, thank God. she to-day strides the earth the grandest of nations.

Loxpox, March 2.—It was exactly a fortnight Yesterday since Mr. Soames, solicitor to the Times, entered the witness-box to testify to the genuineness of the forged letters; a fortnight that seems more like a generation, so great is the change in public feeling and in the situa- tion. Other events, some of them important, have passed almost unperceived. The public eared for nothing but what was fimie before the Parnell commission, i after everybody was convinced that the letters were forgeries. the minutest details of evidence were closely followed. ‘There remains, indeed. plenty of matter for discussion and’ controversy.

From the New York Sun, March 3. To the theatrical world, and, indeed, to the Public at large, there can hardly be a greater surprise than will be called forth by this an- nouncement that Maggie Mitchell, one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most respected of Amer- ican actresses, has entered a suit for absolute divoree from her husband, Henry T, Paddock, the well-known realestate broker of 137 Broad- way. Their mutual disaffection has virtually separated them for over a year. Her friends sey that she charges her husband with inf- delity, atid that s Syracuse woman, now mar- ried, but who was single and a resident of Toledo at the time of alleged offense, is made the co-respondent. There has been a determined effort to sup- press the developments in the affair, with what success may be judged from the fact that, as early as October last, Miss Mitchell filed the pers in her first suit it her husband in 1 chancery court at ton, N. J. Subse- juently, however, all proceedings were aban- is said to be due to the discovery that Mise Mitchell had lived with her husbend subsequent to the date of the offense set forth in her petition. Later investigation tends to show that she is yet determined to secur legal separation from him, and has already en- at once to enter, a second suit. The troublesome relations are said to have occurred about five years ago in Toledo. Mi k was then ‘traveling with his wife as her manager. His friends assert that he will bitterly contest the case. putting in a claim for compensation as Miss Mitchell's er and business adviser. It is very likely the affair will prove one of the most notable divorce suits ever known among stage people. Miss Mitch- ells wealth is variously estimated at from $300,000 to $500,000. Until their separation her husband looked after all her property, and there may be other complications growing out Troy, this state, on October 15, 1968, while Miss Mitchell wae’ playing in that city. “No suit has been entered as yet,” Miss Mitchell said on Wednesday last, in answer to ‘@ query as to the truth of ramors that she had already begun new procee: in the Jersey courts, “I consulted a few days ago with my lawyer, who is also my husband's legal adviser, as to my probable course in the matter. Iam to have a final interview with Mr. Paddock either to-night or Thursday forenoon, to see if some compromise cannot be effected. I do not wish the trouble and worry involved in an aj peal to. the courts, I utterlyzdislike lhe idea of publicity being given to the least thing that concerns my private life. ‘Through- out the long course of my professional career T have always studiously avoided interviewers, and have never said relative to my personal or. I may say, home affairs.” “Yes, failing to reach such understandi with Mr. Paddock as Lexpect_ and for,” she disconsolately continued, “I will, of course, be compelled immediately to resort to iary considerations 20 measures. Pecuniary c alone, far as I know, stand in the way of asettlement,” she said, in answer to a query as why the arbitration had been have frequently made fair and liberal tions, but Mr. k is desirous of ob’ ing an amount which I consider much more than is equitable. Tam resolved not to pay it. Talso understand that he pate forth, a cbunter claim for compensation for services afforded me for = number of seasons. Mr. Paddock, you know, directed my tours « good je ago.” e may but it is more than she ought to pay. They charge that her husband's habits have been expenrive, and that he has daring the past few years wasted fully of her property. Hence her firm resolve not to pay bim '» sum which she considers exorbitant. On Friday it was learned from 7 sources that Miss Mitchell had failed to effect an amicable settlement with Mr. Paddock, and that she had instructed her lawyers to renew the divorce i ed as to the truth of this later on the same day, she refused to deny or affirm the statement, though her non-committal manner indicated that action of some kind hed been taken, At this ‘iser Mr: Cbarion Abbott; ihe leeding’ ‘actor sa viser Mr. al ‘actor her company, a tall Moa ieee man, com- dative in his’ manners, His statement that he was her manager was denied by the theater people, who asserted that another ntleman was’ intrusted with those du seked if there was any reason why Mr. Abbott should assume ship of Mise Mitchell's private affairs, the at taches wore a knowing look and begged to be exeused from answering. Mr. Abbott seemed very much distressed lest Miss Mitchell should “say too much,” as he put it. He iss South re what it was before. Neither side is much elated or much depressed. GLADSTONE’S HISTORICAL SPEECH. The debate was not a particularly good one. The honors were carried off by Mr. Gladstone, who made a truly amazing speech of two hours anda quarter in duration, full of animation, studded all over with sharp points against his adversaries, abounding with dramatic touches which the most consummate actor in the world might have envied. is wonderful that that man, in his eigh- tieth year, should be able to endure the phyical fatigue of delivering so elaborate a speech, not into account at all his marvellous’ fac- ulty composing extemporaneously ovér so long a time, for he used very few notes, In the grand parliamentary manner of old days there is no one to approach Mr. Gladstone, His face is as full of expression as his words, As a rule, too, there is a dignity in his and manner which assuredly the new sch can never hope to rival. Differ widely fro1 him as some of us may, we must all feel that when he is gone we shall never see his like Ne’S TRIUMPA. The next greatest impression was undoubt- edly produced by the short but remarkable speech of Mr. Parnell, He rose a few minutes after 11 and delivered, with much more empha- sis than is usual with him, a pungent, forcible, but withal singularly moderate address. H evidently bad a general election, whenever i may come, weli before his mind. Hence his | declaration that a scheme may be devised to give Ireland the management of her own af- fairs, while leaving England to adopt such safe- guards asshe might deem necessary for her own protection and security. There need not be the slightest shadow of danger or risk to the interests of the empire. All this is well calcu- lated to produce a great effect on the poalar mind, especially at this moment, when Mr.Par- nell stands vindicated from an abominable charge concocted by a professional blackmailer and forger. “A most dan; one to another, when doubsless it is so to them. UNCROWNED, BUT A RIXG, But the most striking incident, after all, in connection with this debate was the extraordi- nary reception Mr. Parnell met with when he arose to speak. To see Mr. Gladstone get wy jn his place and bow to the Irish leader, fol- lowed by nearly all his party, was indeed a ourious spectacle. if the queen had entered the house Gladstone and his friends could have done no.more. Sir George Trevelyan, Mr. Fowler and one or two more remained seated, otherwise the whoie Gladstonian party made obeisance to the uncrowned king. Mr. Glad- stone bowed low, and repeated it more than once, said unionists, ‘arnell sat down, and PARNELL AXD HARTINGTON. Lord Hartington never moved an eyebrow or muscle; his head reclined on the back of his seat, as usual, and he seemed entirely uncon- scious of what was going on. It takes a good deal to arouse him from his lethargy; in fact, Thave never seen it done. He is the ‘embodi- ment of British sang froid. Certainly if any- thing could astonish him it would be to see the aged leader of the liberal party making a rev- erance to Mr il, such as is reserved tor ‘the sovereign. Stole Lotta’s Money. ADVANCE AGENT MERRIWETHER RUNS OFF WITH THE BOX RECEIPTS. Says o special from Louisville, March 2.— “Dink” Meriwether, for several years advance agent for dramatic companies going out of New York, but who has lived in this city for the last few months, is mysteri- ously missing, and with him departed nearly 1,000 belonging to Manager John T. Macauley and Lotta, the actress. The latter was booked at Macauley’s for the entire week commencing last Monday, but when Miss Anderson was secured for the first three nights Lotta’s manager cons@hted to play at Lexing- ton and Frankfort upon the same terms whic were offered here. Mr. Macauley could not leave the city, so Meriwether was engaged to take charge of the box office at the two towns. The rs of the theaters were to receive 90 per cent, and Mr. Macauley and Lotta the remainder. The en; nt closed at Frank- fort on Wednesday night, and the net receipts of the trip amounted to #960. ‘This money was paid over to Meriwether. On ym rriwether left on the 5:80 train, before the members of the company got up, ‘He was heard from in Covington through « letter which he sent to a friend here, but since then nothing has been heard of him. Manager Macauley says that Merriwether was as much Lotta’s representative as his, and that he is not responsible. Mana; , of the Lotta combination, however, holds that Merri- wether was Mr. Macauley’s representative, and the latter is responsible for the amount due the company.
