MACKEY Celebrated Judge in i ?He Talks of St Carolinians Entert of Incidents of His The State Bureau, 1417 G. Street, N, VV., Washington, Feb. 3. "It id necessary, sir, for me to wait to visit South Carolina at frequent intervals for the purpose of rekindling any torch of Auglo-Saxou civilization by the tires which glow in their undiminished ardor and their pristine parity upon that exalted altar.'' He was standing in Senator Tillman's commitee room at thecapitol the other day as 1 entered. Aud he did not say "Augl' Sax'n eiv'i'zash'u" slipping over the "l'?" and swallowing the last Byailables. He never missed a note, and his voice rebounded and the tones reverberated as be pronounced wiih dignity aud eloquence such words themselves replete with eloquence, as 'South Car-r-ol.li.nah. aud Ang-glow, Sax-son civ-il i-za-tiou." You all vyho lived in that elder day know wh& it was; there was one. It was the renouned Judge T. J. Mackey. He was down from New Yojk where he now resides. He is not the kind "l.ves." you underotand; he "rebides." "Oh, yes," said he, "my pres. ent residence is in that mighty metropolis, which though likened by some to Sodom aud Gomorrah, and even by Its traiiiunr^ fn the toad.uulv aud venom ous, but which bears yet a precious jewel in its head. But the duties oi uiy protesiou brings me at utated intervals to the nation's capital, for the purpese of representing two clients, wbo for the space of one and two long weary years have knocked at the door of the national treasury tor their Bhare of the French spoliation claims, and i would not see them knock JoDger in vain." The judge entertained a number of South Carolinians who chanced in to pay their respects to Senator Tillman, entertained them with incident* and eloqueuce for more than an bout, more than two houis, which seemed but a few mluutes, for he is feeling good these days and I he torch of Angio?Saxon civilization as well as of IristTgedi aiity glows in bia heart and in his voice and features, tie is upwards of 75 years now, he is hale and hearty and nas some youth left in him, in his bright eyes and the staieliness of bis carriage. He is still ereot, his hair is grayisb but no white aud he is well groomed. His face is wrinkled on the forehead, around the mouth, up arouud the eyes, bnt these wrinkles do not suggest age, not in/years anyway; rather do they suggest, each and every one of them' some rich experience, rare incident, the tire aBd smoke and blood of two terrible wars, and 'no Spanish war, it you please, but real wars. Stern combat, fiery, deadly, the throe, deeeds of daring aud momentB of suspense, romance, hairbreadth escapes, the tragedy and the comedy of strenous service, at one time or anothter or all at once, to every conceivable party, faotion or affiliation during hose turbulent, soul-trying but most picturesque days of Reconstruction in South Carolina, all are written in these wrinkles. He does not sit when be talks, not often: it matters not whether bis audience is one or a thousand, his language and bis manner is that of an orator, uever a conversationalist. There is no use to interrupt him when he starts. He might condesend to frown at you when you attemp to Inject a remark or Beek to ask a question, but be moves on in sonorous tones ana magmncent phrases to the end of bis perfectly rounded periods. And when now ana then be does pause as do tbe orators for tbe eloquDce to take effect, you can see tbe wrinkleB gather around bis inoutb pointing back up to bis ears. Tbe torcb id glowing in tbe judge's boul, His crisp but still supple lip are parted, and be smiles. But wben will be again rekindle tbe torcb at tbe altar. ' "It is my expection," be said, to return to my native commonwealth unmo timft rinrinir the aDuroachin? spriug for the purpose of delivering a series of lectures in various a counties for the benefit of the worn out, distressed and indigent but grandly heroic soldiers of the Lost Cause. I will take nothing for myself out of the proceeds of these lectures, but it is my intention to propose that half of the prooeeds go to those noble patriots who hazarded tbeir lives, who bore the brunt of battle during four years of truculent fratricidal strife and who have 'since borne the brunt of poverty and the strings ol outrageous fortune, which resulted from that by cruel but majestic holocaust, wrought by the dire bands of defeat, those noble heroes'whose arms were defeated but whose spirits have not been conduered. "But the other half of the proceeeds of my lectures I shall offer to the glorious commonwealth of South Carolina for the erection upon the capitol grounds of a monument iu the commemoration of the redemption of the proud cammonwebltb from the rule of tbeoarpetbagger, the scalawag and the negro. Loug has it been a oherished desire of mine to see upon that sacred and illustrious spot under the shadow of the tall, towering, impressive dome of the proudest capitol of the proudest State In this union of States some fitting memento to the heroes of those days and to the event which masks the restoration of Anglo-Saxon civilization from the ruthless and degrading heels of taitors, villians, and prostitutus of public virtue and public honor." Like all great men who have been thorough stirring scenes and help to stir them, who has likewise been stired some little himself, the judge is an historian. He is writing a history of the war, "that gigantic struggle which surpassed &)1 previous conflicts among the sops of mpn." This history, which is nearing completion, and advanced sheets of which he wi|l have with him when he gives his lectures, will "recount," he9ays, ''the transpiration of many events which no other historian has ever recorded." He told us some of these events the other day, and none present remember to have read them anywhere in any story. uA no Q nnmKot> nf f hrJIUnor inni. dents of this redemption in which he figured. I wish I could report them all just as he told them. But one must suffice. The scene is laid in. old Winnsboro and it shows by what heroic men the State had to qa redeemed. 3ut I will let the judge tell it him self, himself speak: It was the sixteenth day of June iu the year of our Lord 1872 that I arrived in Winnsboro, ope of t^e paost renowned municipalities that peptled under the Southern sky. Chamberjaiu was governor of South Carolina, the Hon. Daniel H. Chamberlain from Massachusetts, an alleu and a stronger; troops paraded the streets of our lair capito}, and ballots were east under a AT CAPITOL i Characteristic Scene artling Times?South ained by a Recountal itoric Interest. canopy of bayonets; the scalawag, the carpetbagger and the regro ruled bu. pre me, treading to the du&t that hiiberto unbesmirched Anglo-isaxon civilization which bad been tbe heritage of our fathers. When I arrived at Ihe court house, three negro officials eat upon my ri^ht. Three carpetbaggers sat upon my left. The jury consisted of 17 negroes and seven of the most degraded type of white men. Immediaetly haviug comprehended the appaling and humiliating situation at a glance, 1 ordered a new jury empaneled. A new jury was empaneled, consisting of 18 white men of the best type and six most respectable negroes. Court proceded, and ere the sun went down at the conclusion of the fourteenth day, I had pvery county officer of the county, of Fairtield in the peni teutiary." I would gladly bave stayed and llsI tened to the judge as ooine did till the lights were turned od, till they were turned off for the evening, and then at the judge's request turned on again, while he told me more of his experiences. But I had to leave. As I was going out he was standing before the window looking out over the trees of the Mall at the Washington monument, the most effective and inspiring view of which can be seen from iust such a spot in the rear of the capitol. 'You see yon tall towering obelisk which rises full five hundred feet cutting a slit in the blue canopy of neaven" ne was saying, Bebo Id it has no name on it. But be not decieved; the end is not yet. Some dark night while the beauty and chivalry of tbe nation's capitol are asleep, wrapped in Ibe arms of Morpbeus, thQ angels looking down from on high will behold a man steal* ing from the White House with a bucket of red paint and a brush withal, with which he will write there on that obelisk in bold letters "Theodore Roosevelt." Then will a special messenger be sent to congress asking for an approprlatiou to make it a few feet higher." Zach McGhee. Hlsilng Mother, A father talking to his careless daughter, said; "J want to speak to you about your mother. It may be that you have noticed a careworn look upon her face lately. Of course it has not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is your duty to n.haw it ?cunw T monf *??' * < ?? ?? ? -w ? .. ?J m A VtMUV J VU KV ^Cl up in tbe morning and get breakfast; and when your mother oomes Id and begins to express her supriee, go right up to her ana kiss her on tbe month, and you can't imagine bow it will brighten her dear face. Besides, you owe ber a kiss or two. Away back when you were a little girl sbe kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever tainted breath and swollen face. You were not so attractive then as you are now. And through those years of childisb sunshine and shadows she was always ready to oure with the magic tonch of a mother's kiss, tbe little dirty chubby bands whenever they were injured In those skirmishes with the rough old world. And then the midnight kisses with whiob she routed so many bad dreams as sbe leaned above your pillow, have all been on interest these long, long yeare. Of course" she is not so pretty and ki&ableas you are; but if you had done your share of the work during the past ten years, the contrast would not be so marked. Her face has more wriDkles than yours, and yet if you were sick that face would appear more beautilul than an angel's, as it hovered to minister to your comft>rt, and every one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over (he dear old] laoe. She will leave you one of these days. These burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. Those rough, hard bands, that have done so many neoessary things for you, will be oroBsed upon her lifeless breast. Those neglected lip*, that ^ave you your first baby kiss, will be forever closed, and those sad, tired eyes will have opened in eternity, and then you will appreoiate your mother; but it will be too late.
