When that iustitution, in- tertwined with every fibre ot southern life, grew into its very existence, that doctrine strengtheend into a political nccessity. The danger was that the republican party, elevating the nation above the state, would be controlled the war, desperately, viciously, fero- ciously solid.

Then the south professed loyalty, but under the plea of white civiliza tion against African barbarism, sus- tained in part by some republican misrule, they made local war on the freedman, his ballot and his friends and murdered them right under the nose of General Grant. They appro- priated the thirty congressmen that represented the freed- man, and under the old plea of a divine mission to protect anglo- civilization in the south against the theory that the majority must rule, though that wajority be expressed in the colored vote, they stood solid once more with the democratic vindicated by our best blood as the chiefest fruit of the war. Bofore the war they were solid, and declared that their home rule and civilization de- manded that they should stand by slavery, and it took ten thousand na- tional cannons to knock that notion out of them. So now they aro solid and declare that the samo home rule and the samo civilization require ‘hat they ehould stand by the doctrine that the majority, if expressed in the col- ored republican vote, must not and shall not rule.

Bosides all this there is a deep-seated feeling among Ohio republicans that the administration is far from follow- ing the footsteps of Garfield.

The recent sudden death of Mrs, Nicholas Smith (Ida Greeley) has re- vived anew the extraordinary interest that was felt in all that concerned the great founder of The Tribune, She was a pleasant and iotelligent lady who might have had a very conspicu- ous social life if her reticence had not made ‘“‘a career” distasteful to her. As it was, she preferred to stay at home and transfer her sccial duties and privileges to her younger sister, Gabrielle. She never seemed to enjoy exhibiting her talented and handsome husband, *‘Col. Nich,” as a woman ambitious of social distinction would have done. *“You ought to be a happy man to have such a woman to show off us your own,” tho Prince of Wales is reported to have said to Mr. Langtry. And the complimented propiietor blushed ambiguously and shrugged his shoulders. So Mre.

Mr. Charles . Congden was one of these, Mr. Rouker, I'believe, was another. Mr. Congden ‘‘resigned” his pension recently—though what could happen to cause a man to resign such a unique and peculiar source of income I cannot imagine. Mr. Rooker sits here i the counting room, an impor- tant factor in the publication of the paper. 4 “How did you happen to join Mr, Grecley 8o early!” Iinquired of him, 1t was more accident than inten- tion,” he said. “I was a ‘jour’ aud I cawe to thecity, and had y geen sub- bing all around here trying, o get a good case, I subbed on The Sup, which was located right where we sit now, en this very corner.

The startling news in the paper were the announcoments of the death of Presi- dent Harrison a week before, and his funeral four days before.

Mr. Dana took five of the shares, which speedily paid for thom- selves from the accruing dividends, and gave him a surplus of tens of thousands of dollars, He was a great managing editor, and we were sorry to have him go. “How came he to leave The Tri- bune?” “His unnecessary and indiscreet persistency in sticking to one idea— as he sticks to his derision of ‘Dea- con Smith’ and Childs long after the original cause of the lampoon must have disappeared. ‘Along in May, 1861, our armies assembled rapidly in Virginia, and Mr. Greeley, in one of his short, impatient editorials, ex- claimed, ‘Now, on to Richmond!

The board of stockholders demanded that Mr. Dana should no longer be managing editor, When Mr. Greeley announced our action to him, he was very angry and left the paper, iudig- nantly declining to remain as editorial writer. If he could be kept from managing the editor-in-chief and the owuners, he would make a model man- aging editor. His going was a serious loss to us.” ““Was Mr, Greeley's ordinary man- uscript as bad aa they say(” § J“Not half. Iiuever had any trou- ble with his writing.

On the following morning the splen- did ranch of Hen, W. F. Cody was visited and the fine brood mares looked at. A visit was also paid to Con.
