A Wjinan Crowns Hertrlf In Despair al
the Death cf Wr Lover.
l'roui the Cincinnati Kr.quirer, .. oh. 17.
On Friday aftcrnuon last, the
steamer Maggie Hayn, hountl lr"in
New Orleans to Vit-khburjr. i -piodeil
her boilers in the chute t( Island ,
near Helena, Ark. It wiis only a
common oecurrcnoe, such u happens
very few weeks Bponthe Mississippi,
and only four plnom were harried
out of the world. One of these v:i
IJarney Martin, the Captain of the
vessel. He was blown to the hurri
eane roof, and hi, body was afterward
found in the hold, lie waanotdead,
but three hours after ho had been
gathered from the wreck and pl.iced
ou board the steamer Commercial, he
died. The news of that disaster eame
over the wires, and it created only
BUchasluH'k as mijjht ' antici)ated
when calamities atel stirring event
come crowding so fast Umii each
otlierthat then- is no timepven to
consider. Upon one that intelligence
ft'l! with deadening weight. It was a
woman. On the day ofthe disaster,
handsome, well-dressed lady called
:.t i he steamboat otliceol Cunningham
A Oeuy, on the public landing, and
tearfully inquired if it was true that
Captain Martin had been killed by
the explosion of the Maggie Hays.
She was told that it was. "lid you
know that he was married?" she
asked. "1 know that he wasn't mar
ried," was the reply of the party ad
dressed. The woman wept bitterly
and turned away.
Every day thereafter the .same wo
man eame and went upon the lev.-e,
among the boats and the rier men,
always weeping and always inquiring
of those she met whether it was true
that Capt. Martin was (Mad. H- r
trrief obtained for her univers.il sym
pathv; her manner ex riled wonder.
The poor girl only said, "I am the
wife of Captain Manin, and I must
know if he be dead or not." Monday
brought a sad realization to the broken
heart, for a boat touched at our wiiart,
bringing the remains of C'apt. Barney
Martin, of the ill-fated rtcawwr Mag
gw? Havs. They were in charge of a
Iat.'f. and they were b.-iug bo.'ll.. to
SteteraviiJe, Pa., the former home, for
jnterm. nt. The same sad and dis
tmcted woman hovered about the
landing when the boat came to the
wliarf, ind she begged and plead 'hat
he might be jK-rmitted to aeeompany
the remains of hiin she called hus
band to their last resting place; but
the brother, who kuew her not as
a wife, denied the privilege. She
claimed that she was the wi: of the
dead captain, but the world did not
know it, for the marriage had been
private. The story was not credited,
t,;it the frenzied woman was permit
ted to look upon the remains of the
one she bad so tondly loved and wor
shipped. In glief and sorrow, si.e
turned aw."y. (fie remains Were placed
on board ofthe ataamw K- B Hudson
tor shipment up the river, and then
came the resolve to her to whom tin
world was now a cold and chueriess
blank, to join, !eyond the unknown
sea, he whom death had taken from
her.
This was Tuesday morning. The
(Kite steamer Mary Anient, which
makt's daily trip-to New Bichmond
and t'hi.'o, was nearly ready to take
her dejari:ire at 1 p.m., when a wo
man tame ou' board and took passage
to "New BichaetiPd, registering herseii
as Mi-s Chamberlain- After the boat
:-K the dock she toe? the Captain she
was the wife of CaptatO Barney Mar
tin, and naked him how kwrit would
be before the Hudson, with Ids re
mains, would pass them. Then she
cliut herself up in her atataraoai, and
was seen no more until the boat touch
ed at Now Richmond. The Hudson
bad not come up yet. The woman
came out of her stateroom and told
the clerk that she had expected to
meet friend at Richmond, but that
she would eontinne on the boat to
Chile, and return to Bichmond in the
morning. She paid her additional
fare, her tr'-pidatioii and apparent dis
tress being ol-servable at the time,
and then siie returned to her state
room, never to be seen again, saying,
"I will not be long away from my
husband."
!S;ght came ,.n, and the Ixiat plou-
tied It

living though crushed heart, and after

This must heve been the sad sequel,
for the chambermaid, who visited the
stateroom of the atvsjtge woman,

Mr. liutler, from the Beconstruction
Committee, lepUl'ted back the Senate
bill re-moviug jolitical disabilities
BrOH betwe-eu four and five hundred
p -i -ni- in laiiuua Olstoi. Some eight
of the perSOUB named, he said, had
bem elected tei office iu Mis-issippi,
and if the bill were not passed they
Would be disqualified.
Mr. Whitterman offered as an
amendment the House bill embracing
about Ml ersons.
Mr. Cox inquired whether there was
any principle states! in this bill in
Which theise name-s were reported.
Mr. Whitterman replied that there
was not.
Mr. Cox Is it proposed to attach to
ihe original hill, or to the amendment,
a system of HllHUtj through the
courts, or otherwise?
Mr. Whitterman Not at all; that is
in a separate bill.
Mr. Cox 1 will never vote for a
meaaun pfrpfrlng out men by name. I
irai ta uaaenl iiiimwIj
Mr. Butler, o! M,i-sachuetts, said
no man in tin House was more
anxious than himself to get a general
bill to remove disabilities. Such a
bill had beau reported, and he would
press it at the earliest possible mo
ment, but that would take- consider
able time in the House and Senate,
and he was anxious that, in the mean
time, this bill should be passed, ami
after this he would not report any
furtherdi-ability bills until the House
has passed the General Amnesty bill.
He was only sorry to be himself
obliged, from his position, to report
this bill first, did ho not foel so
obliged.
Mr. Brooks, of Ne w York, declared
him-elf Opposed to the whole system
of peddling Government pardons; in
detail, it was wrong from Beginning
to end, unworthy of the character of
the Government, undignified and im
proper; and if there were no other
me-mber to vote against it, he would
sjone. Then was much to be
said against the pes iplc of the South,
but there was much also to be said
in favor of their heroism, of their
Anglo-Saxon Native American pluck,
and uf the' wonderful resources they
had exhibited. lie desired to have
them welceim.sl bank, so that in case
oi a foreign war they would fight
alongside of the paunta of the
North in BOmmoU defence
of the- suuairjr. He had Ml nrouel of
their heroism", and he had lelt proud
of the generous te rms secorded te
them at Appomatta Courthouse by
Qn I o neral Ot the Army, and he only
udahad that distinguishe-d otlle'er was
as generous now ;-s then that lie
were- Iom of a pwUl ilium. a:;l more of a
soidier. ite vi?!ied that BUOh gene
rosity could be extended to the peapto
of the South; that the Govern
ment could safely calculate on
the aid of their half a million
of ritic in any war that might
be engaged la againat England, France
or Spain. Then- wan no self-government
in the- South. More had been
Imposed e.r. thai people than had apes
been imposed by any civil people on
any aamugated nation. They had
MM robbed of self-government, the
military had been placed over them,
their States had Ix-en reorganized by
force-, they had la-en made the slaves
of slaves," and was not that punish
ment enough? Was net that revenge
enough? Had not the amplest desire
of punishment beau gratified? He
appealer! to the Hou-o to rise-to the
iiiagtiituelc of the asaaafou and throw
ride open the eloors of pardon.
Mr. Bee-k, v iiib- agreeing with his
friend from NewToik, expressed sur
prise at hearing linn say that he
would vote againat the bill. Fer his
part he would vote for every bill re
moving the disability of any erson.
Mr. Voorhe'is concurred viih his
Maud from Kentucky, and hoped the
