The South had no cause to admire
Zack Chandler. He was one of its
bitterest enemies. We give the fol
lowing description of him, which we
find m the Baltimore Sun's Washing
ton letter:
"His style waa of a character calculated
to draw crowds and enchain attention. He
cared nothing for rounded periods or pol
ished metaphors, but always spoke directly
to the point, mincing no wards, bnt calling
eveiytbing exactly as be understood it. He
was fluent of speech, scarcely, if ever, hes
itating; with lungs of the broadest capacity,
and of the most emphatic gesture, snaking
hie bead and describing circles in the air
with M sieage Hammer nsi, almost wiwout
intermission. Mr. Chandler was net, in any
proper sense of the term, a statesman, but
he was an able politician and an influential
one. He had physical courage, and, in pri
vate life, unimpeached integrity. Although
in his public life he was apparently unsur
passed in bitterness and in malignity, tn
private life he was kindly disposed to all,
and was sincere and warm in his friend
ships. He belonged to that, type of politi
cians which caunot bring good to this coun
try, but as a man there was much in htm to
be commended.

He might have been a lawyer,
A doctor or a wood sawyer.
Or per hups a Congressman.
"But in spite of all temptations,
To belong to other persuasions,
tie remains a newspaper mac
ile remains a new-oc-oo-oo-oo-oos-paper

Odr respected evening cotemporary,' in
speaking of tbe "pound party" at Bt.

the benefit of the poor of the city. This is
an error. Tne contributions were intended r
exclusively for the benefit of St. James'
Home, a well-known benevolent institu
tion, which is, however, doing a good work
among the poor, and to aid in support of J
tne same. This was tbe design of the
originators of tbe movement, and, we be
lieve, of all the contributors. If any of
the latter have been misled by oar cotem- j
porary's mistake, the application they de
sire for their offerings can be secured by a
word to the Rector, Rev. ATA. Watson.
