M0ly tho Deolro of the Fne-cnplorod. There is one pen in- the land, ceaselessly active, and which for many years has let fall the dew-drops of fame, to which the unem ployed poor they thought, a right to look in their hoar of distress for a word of encouragement, ot sympathy, of aid. It was a pen it wu, we said that had often been dipped in pathos, in sentiment, in the best impulses of humafttty. He wrote a novel and called it "Trumps," and in it he devoted a whole chapter to' an exquisite description of the tenderness, the womanliness, the lor ing kindness left in a woman from whom virtue had long departed, to the claims for sympathy that even a prostitute has. The-story" was touch! It kindled admiration for the heart of him who had "the greatest of the three" of the New Testament Charity; or, in the better word of the original.

Lore. The sjuan who could beautifully" weave the prostitute into the sympathies of men, it was naturally expected, should have a kindly feeling toward the virtuous millions, whose willing hands are forbidden by law to earn bread. This pen had written eloquently on behalf of the slave. It had painted the agony of the' well-fed man who had everjr thing but liberty. His voice melodiously told us all how that man, who was never in danger of starvation, was the mournful romance of our history, and entitled to the sympathy)! the race.

It could fairly be expected that such a man would have some regard for the thousands of men who are none the worse for being white, and who are lookihg starvation-in the face. Tlu? gentleman of whom we write appeared in the last National Republican Convention, in Cincinnati, as a delegate from his State, ns one of the two Republicans in the Empire Commonwealth who represented "reform." It was proposed in that Convention to adopt a looking simply to the investigation of the facts touching Chinese immigration in tfli-s country. This apostle "of the lowly took the platform, and, with silvery tongue, protested against the adoption of the resolution, on behalf, of the Declaration of Independence. and in the name and for the sake of the leprous, pestilential, licentious Chinaman. It was fair to suppose that the tender love for the lowly that prompted the lofty defense of the pig-tailed peddler of" vice who belongs twelve thousand miles away might be extended -to the near neighbor of the orator.

It might be rationally expected tht the American philanthropist who would love a Chinaman might have a spark of friendliness for a suffering countryman. The gentleman to whom we allude is an accomplished lecturer. He has brought wisdom and beauty and all culture to bear upon the topic of 'Fair Tlay." Once, to a cultivated and applauding audience he announced that his only mission in life was to secure fair play." He stood in. the Constitutional Convention of the Empire' State more than a score of years ago picturing the itiful portraits of the thousands of women in the land who were pricking back death and dishonor by the unrewarding needle, asking for a State Constitutional Amendment on their behalf. It was to be expected that such a man, given the opportunity, would use his shining powers ou behalf of the poor wherever found.

The State of Massachusetts very recently gave to this gentleman a statue of the late Charles Simser, by the Boston sculptor, Milsiore. It was in payment for an eulogy upon the Massachusetts Senator. The bulk of that eulogy was devoted to Scmser's valiant advocacy of the friendless. To this eulogist the friendless thought they might look with "faith" and "hope" fur "love." This brilliant lecturer in one of his public addresses is wont to introduce that most pathetic and representative plea of the poor, voiced by one of the most beautiful of men the song of the shirt Its cadences have fallen from the lips of this lecturer, whose voice was framed, for music, like the most mournful melody, like a melancholy' Why should not the poor and unemployed look to such a man as to -an advocate and friend? That representative of culture, the editor of the Journal of Civilization, that man wh.o could lift a strumpet almost into the admiration of mankind;" who could see the beauty and worth and- the' wrongs of a Chinaman who painted the pathos in. the black man who made his high name by creating the impression that he was possessed of human impulses; the gentleman to whom we allude is Mr.

George William Ctetis, editor of Harper's Weekly. Weekly said a few mouths-ago that there were over three millions of unemployed persons in the country, longing for laborand finding none. Only three millions of homes! George William Curtis says, in the latest number of his Journal of Civilization, touching a great financial measure, that it doesn't deserve attention, fot it is only "the deshe of the unemployed!" Tsie Corse or lea. Capital has always an abundance of advocates and apologists. No matter of what crimes or oppressions it may be guilty, the press, public men," preachers and politicians are ready to fawn at its feet, and obsequious in biinging tribute to lay in its lap.

It is the proudest boast of the Enqcibeb that, while waging no upon capital "as such, it is the friend, the advocate and defender of tire great masses of the non-cipitalists, otherwise voiceless and defenseless, against the encroachments, the exactions and extortions of organised capital, operating through the machinery of monopoly, and forever grinding the faces of the 'poor. In opposing the further impo'rtation of Chinese coolies into -this. country, the is actuated by no partisati spirit, and has no eye to any possible political advantage to be gained thereby. It is moved solely by its concern for the welfare of society, and its fegard for the interests of laboring inert it is our firm conviction that both are seriously imperiled. Free and intelligent labor is abundantly abler to Like care of itself In any fair coin petitiyn; but in a contest wjtli coolie labor the odds arc too great.

Free, labor requires of the comforts, and at least abine of the luxuries of life. The laborer generally surrounds himself with a family, and their wants must be provided for. He and they inusfbe well fed ami comfortably clad. The coolie requires none of these. He has no family ties, and hisoWn wants are but few and easily supplied.

He will fasten on the offal from a poor white -man's kitchen, and grow rich at a rate of compensation upon which an American or "European laborer would starve. There aren round 000 of these creatures in California. Nearly- all are the bonded -slaves of foreign capitalists, represented by the SixConipanies. They are hired out at low rates to the capitalists of California, and thus in direct competition with free' labor. They are employed riot only In the low and menial occupations, but are rapidly pushing their way into-every avenue of employment, and are already found in manyplacee requiring the skilled laborer.

For example, 1,600, sewing machines in San Francisco are now run by. coolies. The workmen in the woolen, paper and powder mills, broom, pickle and borax THE CINCINrATI DAILY EtTQUERER. SATXJTIDA.Y ilAIlCH 9. 1.878.

works, fruit' orchards, vineyards and ranches are nearly all cooliesw They manufacture boots, shoes, hose, underwear, furniture and watches. One direct result f- this is seen in the suffering condition of the unemployed laboring classes of San Francisco, living in enforced idleness. During a large portion of the past winter the Churches hare spread free lunches for those who were unable to procure the actual necessaries of life. The numbers who have thus been obliged to resort to the bounty of the Churches to avoid actual starvation have ranged from fifteen hundred to two thousand daily. This is a picture which requires no retouching or coloring to bring it home to the heart of every lover of his race.

Up to this time we hare regarded the Chinese question with the indifference born of distant contemplation. There were comparatively few Chinamen east of the Rocky Mountains, and. those on the Pacific Coast could not affect -us directly. But it can no longer be regarded from a distance. The evil is at our own doors.

The terrible famine in the northern "provinces of China is about to Btart a human tidal wave in this direction, the end and consequences of which no maucan foresee. And this ware, while it will break upon the Pacific Coast, will not 'expend its force there it will spread eastward. Says the San Francisco' Call: "The indifference of the East upon this question is the cause of our being; overrun with Chinese, and we now propose to run them through to the East as fast as they arrive. Our plan will be to refuse them work except la limited numbers, and the conse-quoDce will be that they will continue their journey a little further inland than they contemplated when they left China. Our Eastern friends say that we here in California are- more frightened thatt hurt that we ara making a great fuss over an imaginary evil.

Very well. We will take measures to transmit a little of the evil to them. If they like it as well in close quarters as they do at a distance they will hare no cause of complaint: if they do not they will stir themselves to procure the legislation we sJc It the factory operative finds a Chinaman by his side learning the simpler parts of his occupation he may understand that that inoffensire and mild-looking Chinaman is the enteriag-wedge of a system which will reduce wages twenty to fifty percent. Behind this one Chinaman are four hundred millions, one-fourth of whom would be better off working in this country for' twenty cents a day than they are at home." This is tbe banquet to which the people of this country are about to be invited, and these are a few only of the disastrous results which may be apprehended from continued public indifference and legislative inaction. But we do not believe that Congress will much longer slumber over the crust of this volcano.

A public sentiment is ripening which will speedily demand prompt and vigorous action. This country has not yet recovered from its tremendous expenditure of blood and tears and treasure resulting in the extinction of African slavery within our borders; and it can not be possible that our people will so soon permit the establishment, by foreign capitalists, of a system of bondage more revolting, cruel and pernicious in its effects than was ever the African slave- trade a system established, protected and perpetuated by Chinese laws, and in direct defiance of our Constitution Here is something suggestive to Ihose who like to Rtart new fashions lu drcs.1, or arc anxious to have them started. We notice in the (0.) Iferald a (inscription of the riding-habit ef a young lady of tliat place, who returned borne with ber father, on horseback, in ISIS, from Philadelphia, where she had been tteudlag school.

RABZOREO. YVtint Cnme of Fooling with fllind Maaieian l'robablw Fatal Cntlius; A flair Last Si Is lit In Back town. About half p.t six o'clock, last evening there occurred in Buck town a cutting affray, which will no doubt have a fatal termination.

The victim is George Saunders, the keeper of the White Star restaurant and cheap boarding-house on SJxtb street, just below Broadway. The offender is John Price, a blind colored musician, who has lately made a livelihood by going about the streets, play ing an accordion. Price says he has been staying at Saunders' during the last two years, and he thinks that a conspiracy was concocted among the boarders (all colored men) to aggravate him until be would leave the premises. At any rate, for some tune past Price says there was a regular system of teasing him kept-up constantly. At supper yesterday a colored man named Jack Ball would put his fingers In Price's victhals, at which tbe latter raised his re monstrances, but without any eoect, except to ex cite him to more tricks.

After supper Ball and a few others followed Price about -and put salt in his pipe while he was smoking. At lost Price crew enraged, and warned Ball that unless be desisted he would hurt him. He said he was blind, but would uot submit to treatment such as even a dog would resent. Ball followed him upon the street, and would not "quit foolinsr," when at last Price hurled a stick at him. Ball dodged, and the stick broke a window of Saunders place.

The pro prietor was lying down at the uine this occurred, but was summoned to the scene by his wife. He demanded payment for the broken glass, and Price promptly refused to give it Thereupon he laid hands upon the blind man, and a tussle ensued, during which Price pulled a rasor and cut the landlord--twice across tbe back, producing two gahcs, ech six inches long, and which the attending physician says will most probably result (sully. When cut. Maunders exclaimed. "I'm Tbr.n to bis wife, called roe to my death." Price surrendered, and was taken to Hammond-street Station, where he was locked np on a charge of cutting with intent to kill.

Uerch 10th, at the Bellevue House, Professor Edwin Stebblns, a one-legged reteran, wlil walk five saTlcs against time for a the same track that Miss Millie Rone will tue. The latter starts on ber one hundred miles in twenty-six hours to-nlgbt at 7 o'clock. Miles. at 2 3 4 5 fi 7 8 9 10 11 12 IS 14 li BERTHA TON HILLEHN. She Bejina Her Eghtj-Uine-Mila Walk.

A Splendid Andiamo. in Attendawoa, Bertha Voa Hillern started on ber arduous task of walking eighty-nine miles in twenty-six hours at Greenwood Hall at precisely eight o'clock last night in the presence of a very large, refined and intelligent audience, almost half of whom Were ladies, and there was a total absence of any thing approaching the "reugh" element usually in attead-aoce when pedallstic feats are being performed. few moments before she began ber task. Miss Von HIilern was called on in ber room by members of tbe press, who had a pleasant confab with ber. physician was also present, and examined ber pulse, finding it about elghty-eix.

At precisely two minutes to eight the little lady made ber appearance oa the track, escorted by Mr. Thomas. She was received with a round of applanae, and ber appearance was eagerly scrutinized by the ladies. Bbe is a little below theaverage woman In height and. weight, very trimly built, with square shoulders, broad hips and very ru oscular ly -developed legs.

She was attired in a light-colored brocade silk drsaa, the skirt. of which came down well below bor knees, yet displayed to advantage ber shapely nether limbs, which were Incased in gray stockings. On her bead was a jaunty Tray hat; around her waist she wore a broad leather belt; at ber throat was a bunch of flowers, and pinned to her dress was a gold medal presented to ber by some admirers of her walking abilities. Her shoes were long, broad, very low in tbe heel, and were laced well above the ankle. In her hand she carried a little riding-whip, which was presented to her by the ladies of Boston.

All being in readiness she toed the starting mark, and just as tbe bells of tbe city were striking eight the word "Go" was given by a well-known reporter of this city, and Miss Von nillern stepped eul at an easy gait, accompanied by Mr. Thomas. He walked the first lap. with her and then left her to trudge along alone. After she bad walked four laps, she gave the signal to the leader of the band on the stage and he started up a lively tune.

Thus aidwi. she quickened her pace and made bar first mile Mr. Harry Kline ot the Commercial keeping tally of the laps aud as. U. Clegg of the Gazette keeping bis eye on tbe watch three seconds 'less than fourteen mitiutes.

Tnis first 1 mile was merely a warmer," and when she began the second mile she settled down to her work lu earnest. Her style of walking is much admired, as. in sporting parlance, she "goes free." with her shoulders well squared, her body inclined forward but not bent or stooped, and her arms swinging well forward from her hips. She is a little "pigeon-toed," but it does not interfere with the giacefuinesa of her striae. As each mile made the judges announced the fact by tinkling a little bell, after wlnqh it and the time made was rccorOsd f.u a biack-bonrd for the in-Si-tirin of the audience.

The ladles were very favorably impressed with Miss You iii lern's presence, and more thau one pair of rosy lips were heard to ejaculate, "Oh, I do bopo srie will succeed." To succeed she will bave to walk harder than ever she has done before, as the truck in Greenwood HU has to be encircled twhoty-iive times to each mile, while she has never heretofore had to make more than seventeen laps to the mile. This is especially severe on her. as she walks the entire eighty-nine miles in one never "reversing," as Is the custom with most pedestrians, and the "turns" here are very abort. There was a very large attendance of physicans present, and they kept a watchful eye on the little lady until lHte in the night. There was also quite an attendance of notables, among wbom may be metitiooed Hon.

AT THE CAPITAL. Special Correspondence of lite Enquirer. Wajshisotom, March 6, 1878. THAT VETO. While men on all sides are expressing pity for tbe President, I regard him as the most fortunate man ever called into public life.

AH the high offices held by him bare been the rcsnlt of accident, so for as he was couccrned. He never was known to solicit one never known to labor for one or express any anxiety as to the continuation of honors eo strunaely thrust upon him. From tho fin-t when tbe Court, through some unknown impulse, selected the modest yonng lawyer to defend Nancy Parrel), until now he has been seized upon by lucky winds and lifted into Aud when so elevated he has dune nothing whatever to insure a continuation of favor, save consent to it. In Congress he voted, but said nothing. As a Governor be pardoned a few cou-victs and appointed notaries public, but nothing more.

Aud now, as a President, he drifts along aud drifts into success. This continues through this silver legislation. The great political power Of our free country is what wc know as the Moneyed Power. It controls the press, makes Congressmen, Influences the Courts and nominates Presidents ior both parties. John Sherman, whose financial ability lies in his Instincts, who follows the financiers as a dog does a wagon whose conduct 'never indicates a reason.

but invariably a course was delegated by the Moneyed Power to find a candidate for the Republicans to nominate for the Presidency. It had already secured a candidate for the Democrats in Governor Tllden, and John selected the modest, bland Governor of Ohio, and the Convention was held at Cincinnati to insure his nomination. My esteemed friend, William Chandler, said he was nominated through accident and elected from necessity. Not a bft of it Not a bit of it The same power that nominated him elected him by forcing Tildeh from tbe track. And bow adroitly tbey played their President! He was told that the South must beauteted.be-cause the South should be a source of income, and not one of loss.

He was at liberty to indulge to any extent in bis Civil Service theories, provided be could conciliate the politicians. But in all matters affecting th interest of the power that made him he must be firm as the rock of ages. Some men nearly all men in following the com mander would have come to grief. Not Rutherford B. Tbe blind goddess stands by aud protects him.

Now this silver legislation is feared by the Money Power not because of any injury to it in the law. There is nothing in it It Is a delusion and a snare-There is no help to the country in it, as we shall soon live to see. We need trade to give us better times, but while trade will give us money, money will not bring us trade. What the Mouey Power feared was that in this legislation there was a move or step.N eo to speak, in a direction terrible for it to contemplate. If legislation can make a legal tender out of silver, can 'not the rame process make a legal tender of greenbacks? The brutal instincts of the people are so quick to jump to conclusions.

These bonds were bought with greenbacks, why may they not be paid in greenbacks? Aud so Rutherford was ordered by our masters to veto that bill, and so he did in the face of what Stanley Matthews had demonstrated in advance was two-thirds of the Senate Itself. Now had not Stanley Matthews secured that two- thirds and the veto had defeated tbe will of the people, Rutherford would have found the White House untenable. So much had been promised from the law that a revolution, quick, violent and not to be resisted would have swept the money changers from their power in thirty days. But the veto satisfied our masters, while the people will for a short time enjoy a fool's paradise, and then, sprely chagrined and mortified, will move on to some other barren victory. The most disappointed men in Washington to day are the re wd fellows who started the silfer agitation in hopes that it would bo defeated.

So yon see luck waits on-Rutherfoid. TUE TARIFF. If one wants to realise how utterly tlte old-fash ioned Jeffersonian Democracy is demoralised, let such listen to a Democrat from Pennsylvania let loose his opinion upou Fernando Wood and bis Committee, now engnged in an attempt to substitute a revenue for a protective tariff. Democracy is now the organized ignorance of the land among tbe masses. With tbe leaders it is a belief in a name aud a hope of office.

You think this rather severe. Well, go opou the floor of the House, and I will wager something that you can not find over tea Democrats who off-hand can tell you the differ ence between a revenue and a protective tanfr; and every mother's son of them will have some' product In his own district that he wants protected. which means a bounty paid for it tnrougn a law oi Congress. I remember when the question of free trade was being discussed, with the Sou. Robert Schenck, Chairman of the Committee of frays and Means, theoretically a Protectionist, but practically a Free Trader; for In his attempt to protect every thing he destroyed protection.

Beck, then a member of the was a prominent Democrat Beck wanted hemp protected. "But, Beck," I said to bun, "yon lose more on your hoe than you gain on your hemp.1' "That's true enough," answered the shrewd Scotchman," "but tbe devil of it is. my const! tuants can't see It" Of like sort was tbe answer of Niblaok, then representing a District Democratic, of coarse, In Indiana. I said: "Nib, don't vote with these rascals to take the doty from tea and coffee. That- is a toll that goes directly to tbe support of the Government These fellows want to shift it to articles that will snpport the monopolists."

Now don't be alarmed. I am not going to write yon an essay on the tariff. It can be disposed of in a few words. It is a process through which certain moneyed interests are Insured a profit through legislation. And it comes from a party that bowls itself hoarse against the Commune.

A proposition to have the Government establish and snpport workshops so as to give labor employment and living wages is met with denunciation. All tight No sensible man doubts the absurdity of that plan. But here we have the Government directly supporting mines and manufactories, not for the benefit of labor, bat of capital. The laborer reaps no benefit from such class legislation. It is notorious that wages in saining aud manufacturing centers have not augmented with the increased profits given tbe owners.

On the contrary, they ae In practice of Importing from Earope the very pauper labor against which they so steadily cry out and denounce. It is difficult to overestimate the injury done as through this selfish, and stupid system. Take the article of iroa alone. This enters into erery part of industry, and the increased price we have been forced to pay during tbe last sixteen years would have pensioned off and supported in idleness all the laborers engaged in Its production during that time. Yes, fonr times over.

And yet iron that with ns lies almost in the surface in common with coal, and Tooth In the same locality, ought to be cheeper with us than any people on the earth. And yet, througlvall that time, until within the last three years, it baa been dearer tuau in Eugland. From this fact we are unable to keep lu repair our worst net-wnrk of railroads. Our bridges are so slight tbey are dangerous, while the agricultural interest, that underlies and supports all others, has its profits taxed out of it through this stupid system of Communism. Th most striking illustration of what I am driving at comes out in a report made the American Institute of Architects the other day, which I have before me.

Iu it the Committee estimates the loss to us through fire annually to be over a hundred millions. This comes of faulty construction. Our buildings are not made fire-proof. The report says that this amount saved for twenty-five years would render eve structure in the United States and Canada fire-proof. To accomplish this end iron should be used instead of wood to a great extent, and if we could rid ourselves of a monstrous system of so-called protection one-half the time estimated would be sufficients.

The same narrow. Communistic policy that makes iron dear is extended to wood. Because we will not peno.it our consumers to import lumber our forests are being wasted, never to bo restored, and our dry climate changed to the injury, if not ruin, of the great Mississippi Valley. Say all this to your members from Cincinnati. Banning and Sayler.

DICKEY AOAISaT TYTV8. Ohlo'a Sensational Breads or Promise Caoe Perjarjr Cincinnati Cotrespondence N. Y. Sun. March 4-1 When the news got out that Nancy A.

IHckey had brought suit against John B. Tytus for breach of promise, tbe best society of Ohio was stirred to its very Not for many years had it bad such a sensation. Tbe case came to trial on Monday of last week and ran six dsys. verdict being handed in to the Court on Saturday evening. A measure of the interest excited may be found in the fact that tho Cincinnati newspapers gave up the bet )art of a page daily to the report of the proceedings.

This interest la easily explained. Not only was the case at once curious and scandalous tn the last decree, but the parties it Were scions of the tint families. Tbe plaintiff's father was one of the most respected citizens of Butler County, Ohio. The plaintiff herself is singularly beautiful in face and form, well educated, brilliant In conversation, aud an acknowledged belle for years past how many years it would be uneallant to say. On the witness stand, and under oath, she said that she did not believe she was y-t thirty-three years of age; it is uot disputed, however, that she is several years older than the defendant Until recently the aristocratic drawing-rooms of ber native place, Middletown.

bave counted her one of their chief omameuta. and she has been an always Welcome guest in some of the host bouses of Cincinnati aud Dayton. The defendant, her playmate from early childhood, is considered as handsome a man as he is a wouiun. He is the son of the great man of the town an immensely rich paper-maker, whose gray head and stern, impassive face gave the Cincinnati reporters tbe text for a little of that fine writing In which they excel. Young John is now in his thirtieth year.

lie. too, has a good education, be is much ought after in society, and one of the plaintiffs counsel indulged In wtthoring sarcasm ou the subject of his dog-cart arid liveried servant. Moreover, since tbe scandal first became public several thiUh's have happened wbet the popular appetite. Both. Miss Dickey and Mr.

Tytus were iileuibers of the Baptist Church of Middlctowu: Miss Dickey has been expelled or disciplined In some manner, and Mr. Tytus is still hi good and ipiiilr ataiiflinir. kima time aco a story KOt into the newspapers of an on his or that of his accuts to Kidnap or accrete ner i-uiiu jiw num, as she alleues little Alice, now four years 8till more nwsently. the Commercial brlntedan interview with Dr. McCarthy, who has nrnminpntlv in Hie cuk.

in which tho Doc tor asserted that some of the papers in the case bad been stolen from his ouice, and that ue nau suDse-mmtitly found a THirciiDiue Dair-weiht of his in Hie possession of one of Mr. Tytus' lawyers. This is tho Dublirat.on In consequence of which an action for criminal libel was brought against 1 ield Mar.ihak Murat Jialstead, the editor oi the Com The first wltnc-fs culled la? week was llUs tiicfiey herself. She testilkd in substance that young Tvtus had a-ked her to become hii wife, and had promised to marry her several years before the seduction, thmigh she could not fix ihe date: that re had seduced licr under that that lie gave her money to procure an abortion Uiat lie paid her board in Cincinnati during licr coiihnenient, told her he had done so; tliut after the child was born, he came to see her, cried, and called himself a villain and that he talked to her about thoi marriage within a mouth of the day ou which be married another womau. She produce'd ami Identified several letters iu which he addressed her as dear Nan," but none continued auy thing about marriage.

Her testimony corroborated to tha attentions uaid to ber bv tne ucfcndaii aud on other points, by several of hex relatives aud friends. To this story yonng Tytns opposed a blunt de nial. Ho swore on the witness-stand that lie had never proposed marriaue to her or thought of doing so. that he had not seduced her, and that ail be had done in the way of advancing money and making arrangements had bocu out of pure friendship. Tbey hud been brought up topether; the had been intimate with bis sister: she came to him in her trouble; he felt proud of the confidence reposed in him.

and resolved mat sno snouid lift rt-ucnt It; the chance now biougbt against blrn bad taken him completely by surprise. As be uttered his euulinlic denials, -one the other, he looked steadily into Miss Dickey's eyes. Fhe cried out, "Oh, John, how can you?" and buret into tears. witnesses for the defense were intro duced to prove an alibi, and others, apparently, to mnirch the plainlin reputation ty nraraay, infer ence and innuendo. Some of this testimony) ns well as some of the cross-exaniiiialion Of plaintiffs witnesses, can only beunscntieo as outrazeoua.

But. in the faco of Miss Dickey's evidence, of tbe admitted facts, and of the circumstance that an attempt had beciv made to compromise the case lor So.inxi, jonn acniais anu tne tactics oi nis counsel proved enually unavailing to bring bim off. The jury found for the young lady, aud gave ner so.OW damages oi tne sji.uou aaxea iu me com' plaint. When the verdict was announced the Court-room rang with cheers. As young Tytus' counsel reserved exceptions to tbe wnoie ot tne juage cnarge an unusually lm-oarlial one there may be more litigation yet te fore Miss bickey gets ber lo.OUu.

But there the matter rests for the present. OLD POLITICAL rEl IM, Tbe Dlffereneee Between Bea Wade aid Salraoa P. Cbaae How Each Kept tbe Other From Being; President Fesaen dea's ITnforsrlrina; Disposition Toward Wade. Washington Cor. Pittsburg Chase and Wade never agiVed in politics.

Without itssupport Wade could do not bin so Chase won the fctale deiecntiou from Wade, aud so fardefeated him that bis name was not eveu complimented by a presentation, but Wade returned tbe compliment on Chase. At that time he was a power to be fea-ed in Republican politics, so he went to Chi cago and worked with his utmost strength to win the chances of Chase, and he succeeded at the close of the first ballot, when Seward was leading his competitors, yet showed plainly that be could not master enough, favor to nmni iaie him. and that i.iahilitips.

At tbe of the trial of President Johnson, and hen Wade was the President pro tern, of the Seu- ate, and the consequent successor tr tbe Presidential chair, be was tha cyraueureof all eyes, and he came nearer reaching trie 'residential chair than aur other man that ever lived. In this respect be beat Chase, aud be could have been i resident bet for one personal matter, and that was a difficulty between Wm. Pitt of Maiue, and himself during the heated war discussions.
