Ho knew ' of the Hamrick matter, but a few months ago settled. So last October ho went to ? the oounty soot and there gavo to the solicitor or a grand juryman tho infor mation That Bowors was violating tho statute bv unlawfully liviug with a wo-' man, and that tho woman Tiad also vio-; lated the law in committing bigamy. Now here was a situotion. Iwjwers and his wifo was .arrested, and SSeuator j Elias, a lawyer of roputo iu all that ro- j Eion, was sought to defend them. The j usband, who had given bond for his j appearance at court, rodo many miles, alter "Lawyer Elias" and told him tho ? wholo story. Tho lawyor, a man of culture, was j astonished at tho story thus unrolled bofore his oyes. Court met and the | lawyer used all his eloquence and per suasiveness. He told tho wholo story? of the deserted wife, tho long vigil of love, the giving up of the first husband for doad, the remarriage, tho return of the loBg lost husband, tho verbal agree ment that he should return to tho far northwest and all remain as it was. The narrative had ita eiToot upon the rudest mind; but the law had teolinical ly, unknowingly been violated; it must be technically enforced. So thore was a technical *"rdiot oi"0-uiHy? with a recom nymcktion to the meroy of tho court if {henparties lived separate and apart. This waa Lawyer Elias's chance, his opportunity; ho aeizod it. Ho told Bow ers that ho and his wifo had best go out of that neighborhood, and thatvthoy might live together; that tlib vcrdict was only teohnioal, and the judgment a more form, and that in tho futuro tho law would not again disturb them. They aetod on tho suggestion, ro movoa to Macon oounty, and now livo there at peace with all the world. Only a fow weeks a$o tho son was married, and in tho spring tho girl will become a bride. So Sonator Elias told tho story, a true story in all particulars, which has in it all tno elomenta of tho fanoiful and the unreal, and is yet just as true as the fact, known of all mon, that tho groat peaks of tho Blue llidgo raise themselves sky ward in Western North Carolina.

Tho Tulk of Kiiitical I.on?l?rs---'l'lni Tenure of Oflirt' Aft mill How II ltutlierH Them. (Letter to the I'liilodclpMa Times.) Washington, March ID.?There is now no doubt that a quiet movement is about to be inaugurated looking to a thorough organization of the political forcivs on the basis of tho President's j?olicy of progressive administration and reform. The fact as to whether he de sires a rcuominatiou or not is secondary ! to the placing of the Democratic party, as ho interprets its duty, on a higher piano and l>y that means to draw addi tional strength of influence and numbers from the discordant elements among tho Republicans, Sufficient is now known of tho state of sentimont in the Republi can party to muke it olear that tho re nommation of Mr. Blaine will arouse greater disaffection tlian manifested itself iu tho campaign of 188-1. There is no doubt of the apprehension which exists among tho Republican loaders on tliu loss of ground in many localities which have hitherto been counted as certain. A prominent Now Hampshire politioian and former Re publican Governor said to-day that a change of lifty votes iu tho last olootion would have made tho Legislature Demo cratic, and would havo sent a Domoorat to the United States Bonato by tho leg islature this summor. This would havo reversed tho strength of parties by giving tho Democrats thirty-eight, in stead of thirty-seven, with Riddleborger doubtful. Tlio friends of Postmaster General Vilus are talking Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa as doubtful Repub lican States, and this feeling is said to be spreading. There is no doubt what ever that tbo conservative i>olicy of the President has given such a hold upon the better soutime.il of tho country that ho is not only stronger than his party, but is tho only man in tho party who can command tho outside support which will bo nccessary to continue the present control of tho oxocutivo power. The repeal of tho tenure of oflico act iH another important point gained. It evideutly so regarded 111 administration circles. Previously it was impossible lor the Prosidout to make removals. lie could only suspend, which inferentially was for cause, which gave tho Republi can Senate a sort of caveat upon re iuo /aIs to certain degroe. Tho Presi dent can now remove for the sake of romovid without assigning even the fiction of offensive partisanship for his act. This has taken away an obstruc tion to tho appointing power of tho Prcsideut contrived originally to curb tho personal partisan aots of' Johnson. Tho President has now a clear Held and proposes to use it in building up a fol lowing which will not only represent liis oonstruetion and fulfillment of the Dem ocratic platform of 18S4, but will be a guarantee of equal fidelity to tho will of the people in tho poiforinanco of tho pledges of tho rofortns which may bo mr.do tho issues of tho platform of 1888. What most perplexes tho averago Re publican politician is tho iusido reason lor tho repeal of tho tenuro of oflico aot by Republican votes in tho Bonato at ft time when a Doruocratio administration is in control of tho patronage. Tho Ro publican Senators themselves aro divided in their opinions. Some c^airn that it was done iu order to prevent it from coming back to plague them in tho event of a Republican administration and a Democratic Senate two years hence. It was a notification to tho party workors in tho campaign of next year that with success will conio the partisan rewards of tho loot of ofllcc. Tho Republican leadors claim that tho administration, having tho oillcos filled with their own frionds, the best they cau do is to hold out tho expectation of a now donl in ovent of success without regard to civil servico fanoies. Another version is that it is part of a Fchomo for certain manip ulations by tho irreconcilable Republi cans in tho ovont of tho nomination of Blaino, and that oeitain prominent Re publicans in tho Sonato were parties to tho sohomo when tho repoal was pro posed. Tho friendly relations botweon tho President and many K Republicans is not without some ultorior inotivo, if tho oooasion should come for its application. Beorotary 'Manning, in a rocont con versation, did not hesitate to say that ho was agreeably surprised to fteo tho poli cy of tho President from a purely politi cal standpoint bearing suoh oxcollont fruit. He said that all groat reforms produce moro or loss friotion, but the disappointment of a few porsons aftor tho offices would not stand against tho durable benefits of a permanently estab lished ascondonoy of tho Democratic party, not of l8(M), but of 1888, He re garded tho poriod from the campaign in support of President Cleveland to tho campaign of next year w^a political j^ohSnan, ' whSTX) |roat seotfo issue of slavery and freedom la. oret. Tho war wds an ah fortunate oidont of tho struggle, although it mil be regarded- as a sort of herolo treat ment of tho diseoso, which, in the resto ration of the functions of government over tho wholo oountry, left tho govern ment stronger and tho people better sat isfied with oaoh othor. iiotn parties appreciate tho import ance of tno timo betwoon now and the assembling of Congress. At a conforonoo among tho frionds of Mr. itlaino in thin oity n few days ago tho liint was dropped by one who had hoard from him witldn a Hhort tiruo that ho would accept tho advico of his friends mid go to Europo in May. Ono of his near friends pro Bounuod tho idea that tho success of hte torary oll'orts h id oreaUnl a strong fil ing that ho possessed a genius for litera ture which he never know ho pobsowkkJ, and ho was not so suro hut that litera ture instead of politics was his proper field. Tho gontlcmen present looked aghast at, this idea, in doubt as to whoth ef the partios woro in jest or in earnest. Tho trip of Bonator Hherman through tho HoutJi as a preliminary movo to stimulate his friends, increasing in num bers and intlueuco, will doubtless make headway for him in advance of the se lection of men for delegates to the National Convention. There will he a bitter struggle, however, in Virginia.
