An Alleged Assassination Plot.
[Boston Herald.]
A week ago two men were arrested in
Hamilton, Bermuda, on suspicion of having
come out from New York with the express
intention of shooting at, and presumably
hitting the Princess Louise. The whole
matter of the arrest was very quietly man
aged. The men could give no account of
themselves. Though they went round armed
with revolvers, they had no credentials about
them In the shape of incipient consumption,
bronchitis, or even nervous prostration, to
establish a claim to a right to Btay in Ber
muda. Moreover, the New York police had
sent out by the same steamer with them
very derogatory
acter. All this
Hamilton to a determination to lock the
men up till the Princess shall have gone.
Certain it Is that great vigilance is exercised
over all the movements of Louise. Last
week, for example, a public reception was
given her in St. George's, twelve miles from
Hamilton. Two roads lead to the place,
and it was impossible to learn by which she
would either go or return. Indeed, she re
turned by neither, but suddenly embarked
on a gunboat that had been sent round and
came back by water.

The Chief of Ihe land league {.anils in
Thin Country.
New Yokk, March 13.—Patrick Egau.
the former Treasurer of the Irish Land
League, arrived in this city to-dav. Tie
bays there is not u word of truth'in the
statement that lie lied from Dublin 1$ disguise
in order to avoid arrest ; that the chief
purpose of his visit is commercial, in con
nection with the business of his firm, and
that his trip was hastened by the urgent
request of Mr. Sheridan that he
should give evidence in the extradition
proceedings now pending against the
latter. He has no hesitation in saying that
although "the Natioual cause" in Ireland is
surrounded by some difficulties the prospect
is entirely hopeful. He is firmly convinced
that the present state of things, "the bru
tality practiced during the past two years by
the Liberals, or as O'Connell truly called
them, 'the base, bloody and brutal Whigs,'
must result, before long, in the at
tachment by the Irish people of some
measure of National self-government.
He says he is informed that one of the con
ditions on which the Government accepted
the evidence of the informer Carey was that
he should incriminate him (Egan) and
through him the Land League, and that a
leading Castle official said they would spend
£50,000 to hang Egan. It is now admitted,
he 6tated, by officials at the Castle—one of
them making the admission to himself—
that Hynes was hanged in the wrong, and
that it is beyond doubt that four others
were inuocent of the crime, for which they
suffered death. He thinks the charges
agaiust Sheridan are absolutely ridiculous.

J. T. Raymond In "Paradise."
[New York Sun.]
The interest in the great West which has
always been shown by tbe great east side of
New York has made raauifest la«t night in
the reception accorded to Raymond in his
play at the Windsor Theatre. Only Mr.
William Cody could have scored a greater
triumph, aud It is doubtful if even he could
have been applauded more heartily. The
play was Messrs. Jessup and Gill's "In
Paradise." Mr. Raymond,as the wild West
ern editor, metamorphosed into the success
ful Chicago lawyer, waé In Ills best vein,
baffling villainy, regaining his long-lo6t
sweetheart, and making continual allusions
to mysterious games at cards. His realistic
courting scene brought down the house.
Mr. John Marbje, as the impudent and
slangy liartle Hink *, added his share to the
fun, aud the serious business of the play,
devolving entirely on Miss Stella Boniface,
could not have been in better hands than
those of this rising young actress. Major
Bob is not as striking a creation
Sellera , but the play In which the part is 6et
Is better than any other that has been gotten
up to display Mr. Raymond's peculiar tal

AN UNUSUAL EVENT.
A Divorced Wile Congratulates Her Huh
His Remarriage.
The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican says :
The marriage of Stilsou Hutchins, editor
ol the Washington Potrt, to Miss Brady,
under ordinary circumstances would attract
attention. Mies Brady is well and favor
ably known by her family connections and
because of her cleverness and ability. She
has occupied a position in one of th£ depart
ments for some years aud at one time wrote
letters for the Chicago Inter-Ocean, leaving
the department for a year to devote herself
to this work: but finding the labor too hard
and not sufficiently remunerative, she gave
it up and returned to her desk, where she
remained until resigning to marry Mr.
Hutchins. He made ample provision for
his family aud, indeed, has always been
very generous in the support oi his wife and
their children.
Whatever Mrs. Hutchins felt of sorrow,
she accepted the legal separation as perhaps
the better way to hriug happiness to both
and to terminate the years of estrangement
with their semblance of married life. And
he on his wedding day received a letter from
this wife of his youth and mother of his
children, full of kind wishes for his future
happiness and prosperity and expressing the
hope that this union would bring him the
conteutment he had failed to find in his first
marriage.
The woman who could do this mußt pos
boss a strong, magnanimous nature, great
enough to sacrifice herself for her child
aud also for the
another woman. He could hardly forget
his wile In New Hampshire, sending from
her home among the bleak, granite hills a
sort of blessing on his wedding, in such
brave Christian words.
Mr. Hutchins, with his new wife, sailed
for Europe the next day, having left here
soon after the ceremony for New York. Ou
their return In the autumn they will begin
housekeeping in the elegant house being
built by the side of Ex-Senator Windom's
Massachusetts avenue.

THE TARI EF BILL.
Sherman's Opinion of the Withdrawal of
Mr. Bayard Jb'
mlttee.
the Conference Corn
[Interview in Philadelpliia Press.]
Correspondent—What effect upon the
Conference had the withdrawal of Senators
Bayard and Beck?
Senator Sherman—I cannot say that it
had any, except to enable the conferrees to
patch up a little the iron schedule, as I have
already stated. But their withdrawal
gave the Republican conferrees the oppor
tunity of reporting and proposing a
thoroughly protective Tariff bill, just aud
harmonious in all its rates. This could
easily have been done, by a fairly adjusted
duty on wools aud woolens, by putting
cotton ties at the same rate as hoop iron
and tin plates at the same rate as sheet iron
and steel bars for wire at the same rate as
other steel. We would have made many
other rates in the bill more harmonious
with each other. We would then have had
a tariff that all Republicans could have
stood upon, which could have been raised
or lowered as the necessity for revenue
varied. The conferrees would not take
thiB responsibility, aud, accordingly,
left the rates named and some others
palpably unjust, and have opened
the door to contests in the future. If these
errors had been corrected the bill would
have received every Republican vote in the
Senate. The struggle over the bill proved
that the Democratic party was hostile to the
policy of protection, though occasionally a
Democratic Senator voted with us to protect
his local industry. The sj'stem must 6tand
or fall with the Republican party. We
might, in the way stated, have made a
square political issue, which I always prefer
to do, rather thau to lean on my political
adversaries for occasional votes.

rspecial correspondence of the Gazette, j
Dover, March 14.—A calm has fallen
over legislative business, and yesterday was
unenlivened by anything- calculated
create a thrill of public interest. It is,
doubtless, the "calm before the storm," as
the Wilmington charter, the representation
amendment and the school hill will doubt
less soon come up for final aetiou. Last
night the new charter was considered by
tbe ( ommittee on Municipal Corporations,
and tbe City Council committee
by luvltation.
The bridge bill, it is thought, will come
up in the Senate to-morrow, and as things
now look I should not be surprised lf~it
would pass with practical unanlmitv. The
petitions and letters In favor of ils 'passai.,
are surprising In their strength aud uum
bers, while the opposition is scarcely strong
enough to be dignified by tbe name. The
justice of the measure is so manliest, aud Its
backing so Influential, that while Its
passage is not doubted it would not be sur
prising If not a single vote was recorded
against, it. The uujust. attacks thaï were
made upon the bill immediately alter its

The aggressive light la now on the part ol
the bill, aud wit»; no arguments and less
cause, the few appointments can do hut
little to stem the sturdy progress of those
who have so freely expressed themselves in
favor of this act of justice and honesty.
The police and water commission amend

to see any real partisan legislation in this
respect will be disappointed, but that there
be some change
