From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Jan. 13, 1890. Ex-President Cleveland either expects to return to Washington to live or he considers Washing- ton real estate the best investment for his money, or both. He has just purchased several lots near the surburban residence which he still owns here and where he spent the greater part of his time when President. Mrs. Cleveland in writing to friends here, con stantly speaks of when she will return to Washington to live. All of which may, or may not have a political meaning. By the death of Representative Kelley, of Pennsylvania, the honor of being the "father of the House," that is, the member who has served the lonerest, falls on ex-Soeaker Randall. Judge Kelley's funeral took place Saturday in the hall of the House of Representatives. The body was taken to Philadel phia accompanied by committees of both Houses. Ex-Secretary Whitney was one of the New York delegation that appeared before the Senate com mittee on the World's Fair to boom the claims of the big town. While here Mr. Whitney called on many of his old friends. At last it seems likely that a bill for the transfer of the Revenue marine service from the treasury to the Navy department will be come a law. For many years the opposition of the Secretary of the Treasury has prevented Con gressional action, but now Mr. Windom favors it. 'Another im portant transfer that may be re garded as certain to take place during this Congress is that of the Weather bureau from the War to the Agricultural department. New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Washington have all made their strongest arguments before the Senate committee on the World's Fair, and now the com mittee of either House or Senate will recommend a city for the location of the Fair. It will be easier to settle that question by vote of the two Houses. What they will do will be to report a bill embodying: the best points of the several measures introduced providing for the Fair. The feel ing between the representatives of the rival cities has been, and is, the very best. All are prepared to hurrah for the winner and to take off their coats and work to make it the greatest World's Fair ever held. Senator Voorhees' resolution, upon which he made such a bom bastic speech last Wednesday, has been answered by the Attorney General. He denies that any in struction, written or oral, has been given by the Department of Justice to District Attorney Chalmers, of Indiana, in reference to the arrest of W. W. Dudley. Mr. Voorhees now wants to know why Mr. Har rison does not remove District At torney Chalmers, if he is not in sympathy with the recent illegal action of that official. The impression is growing among democrats that trickery is being practiced by the republican members of the House Committee on Rules. It has been given out that the republicans of the com mittee could not. agree and that was the reason for the unprecedent ed delay' in. reporting the Rules which are. to govern the present House. This is now believed to have been only a ruse to gain time. Speaker Reed promises that they shall certainly be reported this week. The war on Mr. Harrison's nomi nations has not so far amounted to anything. Morgan and Dorches ter, Commissioner and superinten dent respectively, of Indian Affairs, against whom there was apparent ly such a big fight, only had one vote against them in the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. 1 hey are certain to be confirmed this week. Washington has an unusual quantity of sickness. Opinions differ as to whether it is caused by imagination, colds, or "la grippe. The doctors say it is the hrst two combined, while the newspapers and a large portion of the badly frio-htened population insist that it is the latter. z a The Youngest Married Couple. Taylorsvllle Journal. Perhaps the youngest couple 1 . 1 O 4 A ever married in mis oiaie were married in Davie countv. The bride was Miss Elsie Westley, aged eleven years and six months, and the groom was John Richmer, aged thirteen years. The parents of both consented to the marriage and a o-reat concourse of friends and relatives witnessed the cere mony. It is said the bride tips the scales for only 73 pounds. Note. If the above is true, the marriage is void. Only males of 16 vears and upwards and females of 14 years and upwards can legally marrv in North Carolina. The item above, which has been going the rounds of the State press, is without foundation it is to be hoped. Editor Herald. i STRANGE LETTER. 1! Wilkes Booth's Justification for Sis Killing of Lincoln. Richmond, Va., Jan. 6. The fol lowing letter is given to the public through the Richmond Dispatch. It is said it was hidden shortly after the assassination of President Lincoln. It was written by J. Wilkes Booth a few hours before he took the President's life. It was printed at the time but the papers containing it, it is said, were quick ly suppressed by the government. "Wright or wrong, God judge me, not man. For, be my motive good or bad, of one thing I am sure the lasting condemnation of the North. I love peace more than life have loved the Union beyond expression. For four years I have waited, hoped and prayed for the dark cloud to break and for a restoration of our former sunshine. To wait longer would be a crime; all hope for peace is dead. My prayers have proved as idle as my hopes. God's will be done ! I go to see and share the bitter end. I have ever held the South was right. The very nomina tion of Abraham Lincoln four years ago spoke plainly war war upon Southern rights and institutions. His election proved it. "Await an overt act." Yes, tiH you are bound and plundered. What folly ! The South was wise. Who thinks of arguments of pati ence when the fingers of an enemy press the trigger? In a foreign war I, too, could say, "Country right or wrong;" but in a struggle such as ours, where the brother tries to pierce the brother's heart for God's sake choose the right. When a country like this spurns justice from her side she forfeits the allegience of every honest free man, and should leave him un trammeled by any fealty soever, to act as his conscience may approve, and justice, people of the North, to love liberty, to hate tyranny, to strike at wrong and oppression was the teaching of our fore fathers. The study of our early history will not let me forget, and may it never. This country was formed for the white man, not the black, and look ing upon African slavery from the same standpoint held by the noble framers of our Constitution, I for one have ever considered it one of the greatest blessings, both for themselves and us, God ever bestowed on a favored nation. Witness heretofore our wealth and power; witness their devotion and enlightenment above their race elsewhere. I have lived among it most of my life and have seen less harsh treatment from master to man than I have beheld at the North from father to son. Yet Heaven knows no one would be willing to do more for the negro race than I, could 1 but see a way to still better their condition; but Mr. Lincoln's policy is only pre paring "the way for their total annihilation. The South are not now, nor have they ever been fighting for the continuation of slavery. The first battle (Bull Run) did away with that idea. Their causes since then tor war have been as noble and greater far than those that urged our fathers on. Even should we allow they were wrong at tne contest, cruelty ana injustice have made the wrong be come the right, and they stand now before the wonder and admiration of the world as a noble band of patriotic heroes. Hereafter in reading of their deeds lhermopylae will be forgotten. When I aided in the capture of John Brown, who was a murderer on our western border, and who was fairly tried and convicted of treason before an impartial judge and jury, I was proud of my little share in the transaction deemed I was doing my duty in helping our country to periorm an act 01 justice. But what was a crime in poor John Brown is now consider ed by themselves as the greatest and only virtue of the whole Re publican part)', btrange trans migration ! Vice became a virtue simply because more indulged in. I thought then, as now, that the abolitionists were the only traitors in the land, and tnat tne wnoie party deserved the same fate as poor John Brown; not because they wish to abolish slavery, Dut on ac count of the means they have ever endeavored to use to effect that abolition. If Brown were living I doubt'whether he himself would set slavery against the Union. Most or many in the North do and open- ly curse tne union 11 tne ooutn is to return and retain a single right guaranteed to them by every tie which we once revered as sacred. The South can make no choice. It is either extermination or slavery for themselves worse than death to draw from. I know my choice. I have studied hard to discover upon what grounds the right of a State to secede has been denied, when our very name, "United States" and "Declaration of In dependence" both provide for secession. But this is no time for words. I write in haste. I know how foolish I shall be deemed for undertaking such a step as this where on the one side I have many friends and everything to make me happy, where my pro fession alone has gained me an in come of more than $20,000 a year, and where my great ambition in my profession has such a field for labor. On the other hand the South has never bestowed on me one kind word a place where I have no friends except beneath the sod; a place where I must either be a private soldier or a beggar. To give up all the former for the latter, besides my mother and sisters, whom I love so dearly, though they so widely differ from me in opinion, seems insane, but God is my judge. I love justice more than I do a country that disowns it; more than fame or wealth; more Heaven pardon me if wrong than a happy home. I have never been upon a battle field; but, oh! my countrymen, if you could all see the effects of this horrid war as I have seen them in every State save Virginia, I know you would all think like me, and would pray the Almighty to create in the Northern mind a sense of justice and right, even if it should possess no seasoning of mercy, and that he would dry up this sea of blood between us which is daily growing wider. Alas! poor country, is she to meet her threatened doom? Four years! I would give a thousand lives to see her remain as I had always known her powerful and unbroken and even now I would hold my life as naught to see her as she was. Oh ! my friends, if the fearful scenes of the past four years had never been enacted, or if what has been was but a fearful dream from which we could not awake, with what overflowing hearts could we bless our God, and pray for his continued favors. How I have loved the old flag can never now be known. A few years ago the entire world could boast of none so pure and spotless, but I have of late been seeing and hearing of the bloody deeds of which she has been made the emblem, and would shudder to think how changed she has grown, O ! how I have longed to break from the midst of blood and death that circles 'round her folds, spoil ing her beauty and tarnishing her honor; but no; dav by day has she been dragged deeper into cruelty and oppression, till now, in my eyes, her once red stripes seem like bloody gashes in the face of Heaven. I look now upon my early admiration ot her glories as a dream. My love, as things stand to-day, is tor the bouth alone, nor do I deem it a dishonor to attempt to make for her a prisoner of this man to whom she owes so much of misery. If success attends me I go penniless to her side. They say she has found that "last ditch" which the North have so long desired and been and endeavoring to force her in, forget ting they are brothers, and that it is impossible to goad an enemy to madness. Should I reach her in safety and find it true I will proudly beg permission to triumph or die in th?t "last ditch by her side. A Confederate doing duty on his own responsibility, J. Wilkes Booth, "Sic semper tyrannis." April 14, 1865. MAJ. GRAHAM'S CANDIDACY. Major "W. A. Graham, of Lincoln, may be in the Ein for CongTess this Year. Charlotte Chronicle. Maj. William A. Graham, of Lin- coin county, was in the city yester- day, and was seen by a Chronicle reporter concerning the rumor that he is a candidate for Congress in his (the eighth) district. When approached on the subject Mai. Graham said that he would not run from the nomination. Maj. Graham is a prominent Alliance man, and when question ed as to the Alliance and politics he said that the Alliance is more interested in measures than. men. While the Alliance as an organiza tion, will not go into politics, he thinks that it is likely to exert some influence in determining who shall be the candidates of the party in the next campaign. He thinks that it will require legislation to relieve the conditions of the farm ers, and that the farmers want to elect men who are in sympathy with them. Maj. Graham has been a candidate twice before. Dr. Acker's English Pills Are active, effective and pure.

STRATFORD OX AYOX. A Herald Correspondent Visits Sixth-Place of Shakespeare. The To the Editor of The Herald: One pleasant afternoon in Sep tember we took the train for Strat ford on Avon, the birthplace of him who wrote "not for an age, but all time," We took coach to the Red Horse Hotel, made famous by Washington Irving's "Sketch Book." The parlor, a low room about 12 feet square, is the one occupied for months by Irving, and his arm chair is still in use. Various other articles used by him such as his tongs and shovel and iron poker are careful ly preserved, and shown with pride to the many visitors who frequent this place. The only other hotel of any importance is the Shakespeare, where, instead of numbering the rooms, as is the 1 .1 usuai custom, tney nave eiven them the names of his plays. Thus one is ordered ud to "As You Like It," "Midsummer's Night's Dream" or "The Tem pest, &c. In driving through the town one is struck with the ap parent newness of the plajre, and cajjnot but wonder at it; but this is explained when it is learned that in recent years the water of the Avon makes superior beer, and, in consequence a large brew ery has been set up there, which has enriched, transformed, and according to Richard Grant White s fastidious tastes, ruined the town of Shakespeare. This river is also famous for the fatness and fine flavor of the eels found therein. We first mend our way to that antique relic of the past the poet's birthplace, which is immediately recognized from the numerous pictures we have seen of it. Here the poet was born April 23rd, 1564; but the house in which he died on his birthday 16 1 6 was, many years ago, torn down by its proprietor, much to the regret of the inhabitants, as well as the visitor. The former is situated on the principal street, standing close to the sidewalk, with no yard in front. It is a two storied timbered building with bricks filling the spaces, plastered over and painted a light-gray or steel color. Like our Mt. Vernon, it is owned by an association, and kept for the inspection of those interested in places of the kind. It necessarily has undergone many changes in order to keep it in re pair. Not the least interesting feature of the place are two quaint matrons, at home in a conversa tion doubtless many times strung out thus making it appear al most mechanical, taking turns with each other in doing the agreeable, at the cost to each visi tor of a modest shilling. Among other interesting things they told was, that some years ago, " the place was occupied by a butcher. Little notice apparently was taken of the place, and was fast falling into decay, when our world-re nowned Barnum ever on the alert for the curious, and some thing to attract the public, offered a reasonable amount and was I going to remove it bodily, when Mo! the Encrlish awakened to the importance of the place, offered a larger amount, and have since taken every precaution to preserve it. The first room we visit m the house, is the kitchen, with its wide chimney, the kitchen in which I John Shakespeare and his son I Will sat, the latter doubtless re- reivino manv an insniration as he I watched the blazing logs, and fed I his young imagination to the full with that food which gave such I lite to it in alter years, t rom the kitchen the ascent is made into the room where the poet was I born a low, rude apartment, with huge beams and plastered walls, where is seen one mosaic mass of pencilled autographs and inscrip tions of visitors to this shrine of genius. Even the panes of glass in the windows have not escaped, but are scratched all over with autographs by the diamond rings of visitors; among them is shown that of Walter Scott, though in all truth, it takes a stretch of the imagination to decipher it among such a mass. At the side of the fire place of this room is the well known actor's pillar a jamb of the fire place thickly covered with the autographs of actors, who have, from time to. time, visited here. However, visitors are not permitted now to write upon any portion of the building. In an adjoining room are collected many things, once owned by the great bard; letters written by him, and writings with which he was associated; portraits of him by various artists. Here is the vis itors' book a literary, as well as an autographic curiosity con taining the writings of all classes, from prince to peasant, in every language, even those of Turkish, Hebrew and Chinese. Another upper room is devoted to the ex hibition of a variety of interesting relics and mementoes among them the school desk, at which Master Will conned his lessons at the grammar school, and a sadly battered affair it is, hacked and cut in true school boy style. As we stood there the shadows be ginning to lengthen twilight had set in, and we noticed the old ladies were beginning to grow restless when one remarked that it is one of the rules of the au thorities, always rigidly adhered to, that the building must always be closed by six o'clock, as no match is ever allowed to be scratched to strike a light within its sacred walls for fear of fire. In winter it is heated by steam from pipes brought from a dis tance across the street. On our way to the hotel we came to the sign "The Falcon," which swung over the hostelrie of that name at Bedford, 7 miles from Stratford, where Shakespeare and his asso ciates drank too deeply, as the story goes, which Irving repro duces in his charming sketch of Stratford. In passing along we note the shops in the quaint little streets of Stratford, all naturally making the most of that which has rendered their town famous. Busts of Shakespeare good, bad indifferent pictures, guide-books, carvings, all sorts of mementoes to attract the attention of visitors, are displayed in the windows. At the age of nineteen Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, and the cottage where she resided is shown within the parish of Holy Trinity about a mile away from his birthplace. The next morn ing, bright and early, we visited the grammar school, which was founded by Henry IV, and in which Shakespeare studied and was birched. Courteously met at the door by two Oxford students, dressed in the costume of a scholar of that University, who were evi dently employed as teachers. In that old building how we found history repeating itselfl The boys, mischievous and irrepressi ble, ready at the slightest pretext, when the teacher's back was turn ed, to commit some prank. We next proceeded to the Church of the Holy Trinity, a Gothic struct ure, kept in thorough repair. It is at this season of the year they have Harvest Thanksgiving when the fruits and grains of the season are placed in different parts of the church a festival recently in troduced in England in imitation of that which has come down to us from our Puritan forefathers. In front of the altar rails, upon the second step leading to the altar, are the gravestones or slabs of the Shakespeare family, among them that of his wife, Anne Hathaway, but the one bearing the poet's epitaph is, of course, that which attracts the attention, and as one reads the inscription which has proved such a safe guard to the remains of its author, he cannot help teeling something of awe at one so threatening. 'Good friend, for Jesus sake forbear To dig the dust enclosed here. Blest be ye man yt spares these stones. And cursed be he yt moves my bones." It is doubtless the unwillingness to brave this curse that has pre vented the removal of the poet's remains to Westminster Abbey, and the fear of it that will make this little church his last resting place. It is noticeable how this particular slab has been spared by the innumerable feet that had made their pilgrimage to the place, for while the neighboring ones are worn from the almost constant friction of many feet this is comparatively fresh no doubt the invocation having its effect. "Blest be ye man yt spares theso stones." But in the midst of our reveries, we are reminded that it is nearly train time, and hasten to take our departure, and on our way to the station, take a view of the beauti ful stone drinking fountain, given to the town by Mr. 'Childs of Philadelphia, and not far distant is the handsome little ' brick theatre recently built, on the outside of which arc inlaid three beautiful white marble slabs, rep resenting Tragedy, Comedy and History, presented by the emi nent American actress, and a great favorite with the English- Mary Anderson. In a little while we board the train, our mind still dwelling on him, who was "In judgment a Nestor, in genius a Sophecles, In art a Virgil. The earth covers him, the peoplo mourn his loss, Olympus has him." "Edmoxia." Revenue Haling- Reversed. SUtesrtlle Landmark. The present Commissioner of Internal Revenue last week re versed the ruling of the former Commissioner as to the C. O. D. business. Commissioner Miller" ruled that a liquor dealer shipping C. O. D. to another point was liable to a license tax at the point where the liquor was delivered, that be ing the place where the sale was consummated. Commissioner Ma son overrules this decision and says the dealer may ship C. O. D. without being liable for the li cense tax anywhere except at his place of business. The ruling is of much consequence to shippers of whiskey.
