MR. MATTHEW8* CHARaCTBR. The rejection of Mr. J. C. Matthews bj the Republican Senate is having a more serious effect on the party than the partisan Senators ever imagined. The prominent representatives of the colored race all over the country have taken the matter up and have denounced the unjust, narrow-minded policy that led to the rejection of a bright, capable, gentlemanly, welleducated member of their community. Hon. John H. Smyth, ex-Minister to Liberia, has been most determined 4n his efforts to show up the unfairness aad duplicity of the Republican party as shown in this instance. The delegation which waited on the President and presented him with a most eloquent and » strongly-worded address was composed of eminent colBishops aad minister. They regarded it as a question of race, not politics. Ex-Minister Smyth, a Republican, by the ’way, iu a communication to the Argu», alludes to a card published in bur Republican morning contemporary, and signed by a colored man of this city, stating that “All Albany joins yon in our effort to send J. C. Matthews to Liberia.” Mr. Smyth denies that he ever suggested such a trip to Africa for Mr. Matthews, but, on the contrary, considered him jiist the man for the )>osition of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. . Mr. StnbHi adds: “The members of nr part)' *u the Senate opposed his confirmation because he was a negro ' Democrat, saying, practically, that a . negro’s personal liberty is limited to voting with one party alone, and if he dare vote or act with the Democracy he • is to be crushed Mr. Smyth further remarks that the better class of Col- "*? ored citizens at A’bany urged the Senate to confirm Mr. Matthews. He administers the following severe rebuke to the solitary crank who has been airing his spite against Mr. Matthews in the' cot uni ns of our Republican contemporaries: •. - I am concerned when, twenty ’year* after oar enfranchisement, which was not due wholly to white men of the North and West, but was due to the combined effort oS black and white men Vho went to tbe front and,battled for tbe maintenance of the Union. that negroes should not bice learned that tbe advancement of any man among us, whether he affiliated with Democrats or Republican*, tend* to lift the whole seven million* to a higher plane of self-respect and respectability, and to effac* prejudice from white men of both parties. As to the charges Bled here against Mr. Matthews, 1 have to «ay that the committee, through their chapman. Mr. Ingalla aay they were too (rlvolotlt for consideration. It Is a fact shat a universally-signed petitions of colored people fnnh Albany and all parts of the country, whovy respectability. Intelligence and mgterial worth entitle them to high consideration. naked that Mr. Matthews be confirmed on account of hia well known unimpeachable character. superior abilities ard Btness for the -are to which he was appointed. In view of the foregoing, statement from Mr. ■•tails, which was corroborated by Senator Harris, his colleague on the subcommittee to * investigate, can any colored man claim to be In sympathy with the sentiment of the best eleI lent nmong our poopie at Albany, and pretend that the charge* made against Mr. Matthew* are well founded. wlttuMI laying himself open to Just censure *f being n little og—« crank, for illuitraUca. --iiMsy irpu.

PROPOSED "COMBINE." Tk* nu It II.-In* Together St* York's Senator-Elm and the. rolltleiaa front Maine. The project to tiring Senator-elect >ck ami Mr. Blaine together at the reception to the legislature by the Fort Orange Club, which takes place next month, is a most sagacious move on the part of the new ''bosses’' of the Republican party in this State. lion. Thomas C. Piatt amt Hon. J. jf. Belden. It will emphasise f tnore completely the victory of the "combine” by the presence of the chief “boss" of the party at a. reception in which the hatplsonic statesman from Syracuse is expected to lie the central figure. There will be an excellent opportunity for the gentleman from Maine To cultivate the acquaintance of the disfliuguohtsl im-ml>em of the “combine" who now control the destinies of New York Republicanism, and Who received such valuable encouragement from him during the recent contest. In the love feaat which is likely to characterize the meeting of those shining lights of the party many old sores may be healed up ami assurances of distinguished consideration. etc., exchanged. There could not be a more favorable occasion for Mr. Blaine to give an exposition of his views and uuliosom himself to the new machine in one-of his inimitable magnetic speeches. And should he find, next morning, in cold type, any unfortunate slip* of the tongue, he will be spared the unpleasant trouble, as in other places, of denying his ova words. It may be that his severe Senatorial duties would prevent Hon. Warner Miller front joining the love feaat, or. perhaps, his well-known antipathy to any thing of the "combine” order would keep him away from the punch in question. The same cause may deter the genial Speaker of the Assembly frotp participating in the reuuion. although he would find it hard to be , away from his /da* Achates. Mr. Erwin, who has solemnly assured him that.be is at “ good man.” But, with the persuasions of Hon. Henry G. Bur- . leigh and Hon. George West, the reluctance of the Herkimer statesman and the Peekskill Macchiarelli might * be easily overcome. We assure Mr. Blaine and Mr Hiscock of a hospitable reception and warm greeting, with the freedom of the city to boot. By all means let them come and they will uot soon forget what a gay place Albany is in winter time. Mr. Blaine will learn more of New York politics in one day heiy than he would in a year at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.—AlViay Argus.

-Pool m aster-General Vilas "was wade the target of abuse by some of the more rabid Republican organs because he refused to be buildokhI and Rotated to by the Pacific mail lobby. His firmness won in the end and brought the recusant companies to terms. The British postal department has imitated his example of firmness in breaking the monopoly that restricted the transatlantic mails- The mail for New York will now leave on four days in the week and the day of monopoly in that line is past.—Albamy Argus, -The Republican party cherishes the colored man not because he is colored. nor yet because he eras once a slave, but because he worked the political treadmill and ground out votes. When this same colored man becomes a Democrat, he is transformed into a Monster with a capital M. and must be ground to powder. There is nothing in this cold world so delightful as a great moral idea as a foundation for political schemes—y.

WAS LINCOLN •* HONORtD. ” <lk WMknrt “ With ItoUnMui It—, with Clurltj lor AH.” It hM long been tke custom of Democrats to meet on Jackson's Day, the anniversary of Old Hickory's great victory over the British at Mew Orleans, and renew their pledges to the principles which he clung to during a long career. They also commemorate Jefferson’s birth, and in toasts and orations recall some of the more conspicuous teachings of that celebrated patriot and statesman. At these Democratic gatherings in is the practice to applaud the wisdom of the Democracy’s patron saints and to revive recollections of their doctrines and theories rather than to attack present opponents or to belittle other names now held dear by the majority of Americans. In the first important attempt by Republicans to introduce this curtom in their own party a happy seleei/on was made in the choice of the man whose memory it was desired to honor, but in the scope and character of the exercises the pitch was altogether too low to he particularly edifying to anybody. Dying before the Republican party m it exists to-day was evolved from the war party, Abraham Lincoln was a character which the present leaders of that organization might well study on every suitable occasionThat bis temper, habits of thought, lofty patriotism, humanity aud broad nationalism do not at present actuate the Republican leaders, is, perhaps, due to the fact that they are more closely interested in the promulgation of unwise and unjust policies relative to business and to the perpetuation ol sectional animosities than they are in the contemplation of one of the most picturesque figures in American history. Meetiug together on- the anniversary of Lincoln's birth, modern Republicans might, if theywookl. draw much inspiration from his life and character, but they must approach the subject in a different frame of mind from that which seems to have been uppermost at the New York gathering. The speeches at Delmonioo's were not indicative either of a'profound aj>preciatiou of or veneration for Lincoln’s character. They were principally vehement, bitter and foolish denunciations of somebody else. It is not in this spirit that professed followers of the Emancipator can honor hii memory or keep bright the great lesson of bis life. With malice toward none and with charity for all. he was in the broadest sense an American, not a sectionalist. He ean be honored as an American as Jefferson and Jackson are honored, without dragging into his eulogy the petty criminations of the present day. Perhaps when the New York Republican Club has had a little more experience it will be better.— Chicago Herald.

PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY. A. Significant Correspondence Which Tell* the Store of Their True Relations. The correspondence between the President and Secretary of the Treasury contained in the press dispatches from Washington this morning, disposes at a stroke of a great volume of gossip and rumor concerning tiie personal and official relations of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Manning which has gained currency during the past few weeks. In rendering his resignation, for the second time, and in insisting upon its acceptance, the Secretary declares, very explicitly, that his withdrawal from the Cabinet is due solely to the impaired condition of his health, which rentiers him unequal to the “exhausting round of administrative tasks” which devolve upon the head of the Treasury Department. It is evident from the general tone of the letter, and especially from the hearty expressions of continued confidence and esteem contained in the closing paragraph, that Mr. Manning is, and has been from the beginning, in cordial sympathy not only with the financial policy of the Administration, but with the methods and principles which iflias applied in all the affairs of the Government. The Presidents reply expresses his sincere regret at Mr. Manning's re-, tirrment, and testifies very cordially and frankly to the value of the Secretary’s services and the popular appreciation of his achievements and success. The President accepts the resignation with unfeigned reluctauce. to take cftect April 1, and in conclusion ventures the “earnest hope” that in his new field of labSt* there may be allowed to him “more of comfort and of ease than a conscientious discharge of duty heir permits.” There i» just a touch of pathos in these closing words, coining as they evidently do straight from the heart, and suggesting a certain weariness and disgust on the part of the President with the trials, responsibilities and perplexities of his lofty station. To the man who, more than any other, has shared these burdens, augmented, as they have been, by the unjust suspicions, the harsh criticisms, the persistent misconstruction of motives and the systematic annoyances and persecutions of professed political friends and supporters, these words will appeal with special force. No one so well as Daniel Manning can grasp their deep and pregnant meaning, or appreciate so fully the difficulties, anxieties and embarrassments that called them forth.—Chicago Time*.

That Day Has Gone By. Governor Oglnby road a list of Ums oar Governor*. Tboae of popular favorite* were freer ed with applause, while the mention of Horatio Seymour among them brought out a curtouu strife for supremacy between those who clapped their hands and those who hissed.—Rtport if Jyjmufco Dinm*. Horatio Seymour was a “war Governor.” As the Executive of the Empire State he performed his whole duty, ami Edwin M. Stanton and President Lincoln again and again testified to this fact. If Seymour had not acted the part of a patriot while Governor of New York State “Uncle Dick” would not have mentioned him.. Those who applauded Seymour's name were right: Those who hissed forgot that on June 37. 1863. Edwin M. Stanton wrote to Governor Seymour in these words: “I can not forbear expressing to yon the deep obligation I feel for the prompt and cordial support you have given to the Government in the present emergency. The energy, activity, and patriotism you have exhibited I may be permitted personal!)' and officially to acknowledge without arrogating any personal claim on my part in such service or to nay service whatever. I shall be happy always to be esteemed your friend.” Replying to an almost complimentary and entirely anexpected letter from President Lincoln. Governor Seymour said: “For the preservation ot this union I am ready to make any sacrifice of interest, passion or prejudice.” The day for hissing the name ot Horatio Seymour has gone by.—Cki eofo Moil <&*.).

CHASKA'S WIDOW. UKrhtlwUnli RecmlUxt hr tkn Dwtt A short time ago u Indian woman fa asillarly known lo the white people ns Lucy died in her unpretending habitation at Mendota. She was almost as well known to the inhabitants of the twin -eitiea as the historical "Old Bets,” says the St. Pant Piaimr-Pnu. Bp the earlier settlers aba was generally called "Le-tt” (her lodge), and eras the was the wife of the celebrated Chaaka, who eared the life of Major George II. Spencer, late United States Indian Agent at the Crow Creek Agency, Dakota, daring the outbreak ol USA and who also sared the life of George A. Brackett, of this eity, la 1864. Mr. Brackett and Lieutenant Freeman, cf St Cloud, had left General Sibley’s command for the purpose of hunting i telope, and suddenly unexpectedly encountered a party of hostile Sioux, who fired upon them, killing Freeman. At this juncture Chaska, who was a aeon t accompanying the Sibley expedition, appeared upon the eaeae Neither could understand the language of the other, but Chnska finally succeeded in making Mr. Brackett Understand that tbs only thing for him to do was to dismount, abandon his horse, and conceal himself in some tall grass near by until night, when he could emerge from his. place of concealment and rejoin the dbmmand. Chaska then informed the Indians that they had killed the white men, and they soon took their departure, after securing the horses and equipments left by Messrs. Brackett and Freeman. Mr. Brackett obeyed his instructions and escaped!, making his wayback on foot to a supply camp which hail been established by General Sibley a few days previously. It will be remembered that some two or three hundred women and children were held as captives by the Indians, and were subsequently released by General Sibley. Some of these unfortunates fell into good hands and were well treated, but the condition of others was deplorable, often suffering from the pangs of hunger even while there was an abundance of food in the hostile camp. The dead La-ti proved herself the friend of the captives, giving them food, attending them-when when sick, and trying to cheer them up with assurances that they would soon be restored to their friends. Chaska demettstrated his friendship for the whites in more ways than one, and at last laid down his life in the service Of the Government, which was engaged against his own people. The conduct of Chaaka and the noble, generous deeds of La-tii during she bloody massacre of 186d will! long be remem be red. THE GIRL OF TO-DAY.

A Constant Than* tor Admiration. Kr IlKtloD and Cmimlnlitlon. This tnagnjficent-lookinggirl who swings along at a four- mile gait is not only a subject for reflection, the is a theme for admiration. for congratulation, for tenderness. and the sight of her sends ten thousand new impulses through the mind and heart, says a love-siclc writer in the New York Star. This is American womanhood. Not the Ameriean womanhood of Washington Irving’s day, when flimsy dresses were in style, which were dampened At night to make them cling closely to the form, and when shoes with paper soles were in general favor and the donning of them was as good as a cordial invitation to the pnennonia. No; those were the days not only of meager brains, but of deceased and dyspeptic stomachs, hesitating hearts, pinched cheeks and fragile limbs. American womanhood of the past was a ghost This is the American womanhood of today, and oven more truly of the future. Heaven be praised. Look at the rosy cheeks, the sparkling eyes, the shoulders thrown back, the firm and certain steo. Notice how well nourished the cheeks are, how deep and trua the inspirations, and and how plump and well-rounded the arms, which taper down to the wellgloved hands. Is it not a glorious sight! There is no chance for paper-soled shoes here. Broad, substantially soled button boots cover the handsome, muscular feat, and in place of the tawdry costume whosa likeness is preserved for us by dozens of aid engravings, here we have a neat add well-made cloth suit, which fits the owner’s form to perfection. Can any thing be more satisfactory to the eye than this picture of honest health, of alert, though not, perhaps, subtle intelligence and womanly beauty! There may be no suggestion of sentimentality here, nothing of what every-day novelists call poetry, and there is no romantio melancholy, but, without atyr sacrifice of womanliness, there is grace, and, above all, there are life and strength. 5 Princess Louisa of Lorn*. Princess Louise gave an undoubted tin petua to fine art in Canada when she was there. She got to like the clear, cold climatd, tihe effects of snow and froat on lake and forest, and the fast-rushing and full-flowing rivers; but the accident she met with when riding in a covered sledge, by injuring her health, spoiled her capacity for enjoyment, and obliged her to rs« torn to Europe to seek at European water-ing-places a cure for nerves that wert permanently affected.

INJUSTICE CORRECTED. To Oar Headers : In common with many publishers and editors, sreisve been accustomed to loolt upon certain statements which wo hare •sen in our ooltuans an merely adroit ailTOTtisilkff, Consequently We feel justified in taklag the liberty of printing a few points fronyii prirste letter recently received from o(p> of onr larawt patrons, as a sort of oonfesision of faluNO onr readers. We quote: & “We have/ telling i produced S the public a ted what ' evinced ourselves that by Ewe know to be true, we have ■edSfr’Tast a wnaaneal roaMetiaa in ubiic mind. Beven years ago wo what the national disease of thiis country was, and that it was rapidly in* errmtina. Three years ago we stated that a marked check had been given it. . , “Tbe statistics of one of the largest life insurance companies of this country shown th«t in 1888 and 1884, the mortality from kidney disorders did met incmu* over the previous years: other companies stated tine same thing. It is not presumptuous for ns to daim credit for check,mg these ravages. “Seven years ago we stated that the condition of the kidneys was the key to the condition of health: within the past fitne rears all tartful life ineurante companies have conceded the truth of this statement, for, whereas, ten years ago, chemical analysis to determine the condition of the kidneys was not required, to-day utiUiome of dollar* in rieke arf refuted, because chemicad examination discovers untutptcUd diseases of the kidneys. “Seven years ago we stated that the ravages of Bright's Disease were insignificant compared with other unsuspected disorders of the kidneys of many misleading names; that ninety-three per cent, of human ailments are attributable to deranged kidneys, which dlls the blood with uric acid, or kidney poison, which causes these many fatal diseases. “The uric acid, or kidney poison, is the majority of cases of parjireal cause of the ... . ysis, apoplexy, heart disease, convulsions, pneumonia, consumption, and insanity; over kolf lha victims of consumption are first the victims of diseased kidneys. “ When the recent death of an honored ex-official of the United States was announced, his phvsician said that atihotntll he was suffering from Bright's Disease, that was not the tautc of death. He was not frank enough to admit that the apoplexy which overtook him In his bed was the fatal effect of the kidney poison in the blood, which had eaten away the substance of the arteries and brain; nor was Logon's physician honest enough to state that his fatal rheumatism was caused by kidney acid in the blood. - if the doctors would state in official reports the original cause of death, the people of this country would be alarmed, yea, near It panic ttrick'n, at the fearful mortality from kidney disorders.”

me writers 01 tneaoore tetter give tueso facts to the public simply to justify tto r'aims that tAry hat* madc, that -if the kidneys and liver are kept in a healthy condition by the use of Warner’s safe cure, which-hundreds of thousands have prov ed to be a specific, when all other remedies failed, and that has received the endorsement of the highest medical talent In Europe. Australasia and America, many a life would be prolonged and the happiness of the people preserved. It is successful with so manv different diseases because it and it alone, can remove the uric acid from the blood through the kidneys.” Our readers are familiar with the preparation named. Commendation thereof has often appeared in our columns. We believe it to be one of the best. If hot the best ever manufactured. We know the proprietors are men of character and influence. We are certain they have awakened a Wide-spread interest in the public mind Concerning the importance of the kidneys. We believe with them that they are the key to health, and that for their restoration from disease and maintenance in health, there is nothing equal to this great remedy. The proprietors say they “do not glory in this universal prevalence of disease, but having started out with the purpose of spreading the merits of Warner’s safe cure before the world, because it cured our senior proprietor, who vmgitenup by doctors as incurable, we feel it our duty to state the facts and leave the public to its own inferences. We point to our claims, and to their pssblie and universal vrijicahun with pride, and if the public does not believe what we par, wo tell them to ask their friends and heighbors what they think about our preparations.” * As stated above, we most cordially commend the perusal of this correspondence bv oar readers, believing that in so doing we are fulfilling a simple public obligation. —Philadelphia Call.
