dictator, and doubtless will be as long as he
wishes or us his health , holds out He is the
youngest of the live, and, I should judge, the
youngest of the tritunvirate which controls
the policy of the paper- Like Most newspaper
men, his rise has not been unattended with
difficulty, but it is to' be presumed that the
largo honors of the eminent position he :•
now holds haie caused 'him to for
get the severe struggles of • his ' youth
and earlier. manhood.._. 'l'ime was when,
the alelolute dietater of the greatest power in
the Northieest was living as best, he could, on
a weekly - stipend no larger than a stone
cutter's daily wages. ' Mr.'White doesn't write
ns much as formerly, although the editorial
columns- i bear frequent evidence of his terse
and vigorotis style.. '.;The editorial; on the
administtation of Grant, which was the occa
sion of so much comment throughout the

The Evening Port, also Republican to the ex
tent that a very able Independent-writer- can
stick to his text, is a thorn in the side of the
Ertning Journal, and a fresh, spicy ; lively, in
teresting visitor to everyone else. The years
of the Post, Ibelieve, now number three. The
central figure of the Poal—a centre of no phy
sical insigniffeanne•- • -is Dr. Charles A. Ray,
editor-in-chief. One of the founders of the
Tribu ne,and one who contributedperhaps more
than any other to its early reputation, he left
that, journal some years ago; amassed a for
tune, let it slip through one'of those oily holes
in the ground lb Pennsylvania or. Cinada,
and has returned to his old trade. Finding it
difficult, 'doubtless, to bo a servant where once
be bad ruled, he Could ,not work on the Tri
bune, and joined his vigorous auff 'Versatile
pen to the forces of the Post. The Post is now
established, and on the road to a fair pros
perity. Its political, position• is somewhat .
anomalous. It is a "rabid" free-trader, and
quite inclined to all the Omits which seem to
afford anopportuuity for eccentricity or origin
ality. It has always been Independent, but, •
for some strange reasorglas tif, late taken
sides with the “Ring," which has the support
of no other journal. •

The Iron •Mask may. yet drop from .the phan

nius may issue forth into the light from be
neath the shadow of the great name under
which he has lurked for a century. The time
has come when 'the secret of the separation
between Lord and Lady .13vron has been given
up to the world. Ana what a secret! The
raising of the veil of Mokanna. revealed a tem
revolting spectacle to his expectant hosts.
' And how marvelously was the secret kept !
MOre'tlein fifty years it had perplexed the cu
rious world, anti no hint of it had ever, got
into print until Mrs 4 Stowe gave it .to .the At-
Eolith: Monthly. Whether the truthshould not
have been folever buried in darkness is a;
question which will. be discualediand .pro
nounoed upon according to. the different points
of view and the different ways of looking at.
things of the disputants.
There can be no doubt of the sineerity. of;
Mrs. Stowe's purpose to justify Lady _Byron.
before mankind, nor of her belief that she has
effectually done so ; but we are compelled, to.
say that she has made a fearful mistake, if. the
facts she tells are indeed as she states them.
That we have some reason to think that this
is not the case we shall presently explain,
though without any imputation. on, Mrs.
Stowe's truththluess of intention. But if the
story be as,she relates it, it would. have been,
better if it had slumbered forever, in dark
ness, and been an enigma to the end, of, time.
As it seems to us, Mrs. Stowe's narrative places
Lady Byron in a, position only less revolting
than that of her husband and his. incestuous
paramour—in the position, to , wit, of an an
eeksory after and during the fact to their
hideous guilt.' Her'expression is somewhat
clumsy; but, as we understand her,
Mrs. Stowe means to say that after Lady
Byron was fully informed of the incestuous
relations existing between Byron and his sis- '
ter, "she would neither leave herhusbandinor
betray him," and this during," two,years of
convulsive struggle!" That is to. say, Lady
Byron continued to live with her husband as
his wife for two years after knowing of his
incestuous intrigue; and, of course, in rola
lions , of friendly Intercom/se before the world
with his detestableparamour ! We. believe
this to have been impossible. No, woman,
not herself infamous, could have doue such, a
thing. But that Lady. Byron, who inipra.sSed

ceive of. It there be no error in ,the revela

intentionally, of course--what will send her
friend's name down to posterity covered with
disgrace and • ridicule—disgrace for having
condoned this infamy for so long a time ? and
ridicule for havingdene so in the hope of con

—from the error of his_waysA, But we, think
that it will be 'found that Mrs. 'Stowe must
have mistaken' or misrenteinbeied some, of
Lady Byrim's statements, and; 'in her desire
;to make as striking a picture as she cotild of
her friend'ssufferings duzin,g, her inarti.age,

Indeed, it is due to'Byron,-his wife, and'to the
public that everybody 'who can .throw any

weight on Mrs. Stowe, who is responsible for

to her a sufficient justification for making it.

For a period of thirty years—from 1890 to

Executive power.of.the State, and with the

three mills on real estate ,producing annua ll y

pay the interest.• . This was purely' Democratic
policy. That party is fairly : chargeable with
the $40,000,000 debt and the $1,800,000 tax.
And this is not all. They are responsible for
the war of the rebellion ; and being responsible
• for the war, they are responsible for its con
sequences, among which. we may reckon $5,

was obliged to: incur to:enable her to enact her
part in the war, and sitbsequeutly as= which
will probably reach $10,000,000 to house,
