George tloyd was my associate counsel, a sound lawyer, well read and pains taking, flc opened tho argument, laying down the law in plain, forcible language, and wasfol lowed by defendant's counsel. When the last of these closed it w as about d.iuk.nnif 1 lagged of the court the privilege of making my sjieech at once. I detained the jury for Itrtlewwr an hour, In the best speech of my lifts, and made by candle -light. I was warmed up as 1 had never been before. Her father was in the c ourt room, his long gray hair falling about his shoulders, and his ruined daughter sitting, with bowed head, by his side. From the beginning of my speech to itscloseyou could have heard a pin drop-in fact there was no other shadow of sound but my own voice, save now and then ttie broken sobs ol old nod young in the audience. In less than five minutes alter beginning 1 bad the crowd, judge, jury and spectators completely In tny hands, and fell myself utasUr of the oc cation. I was only soiry 1 had not deman ded $30,000 instead of SIO,OOO. I portray ed tfae coM, sly, snakey steps of the scduc or, the importunities, the final orerpower ing mastery of hia strong mind and body. I dwelt upon woman's trusting lore and constancy ; drew the picture of the poor girl as I had scan her but slew months be fiMW, ind dwelt upon the contrast now. 1 depleted the heart anguish of the old father tottering to the grave under the cruel blow of the mart he had trusted as a son. I burled anathemas against the. seducer—l protested, in the name of our common manhood, against the wrong inflicted upon our mothers, wives amFßistera in the per son of that poor girl, and demanded of the jury whether •they could be bribed Into oowardly silence by ihe villainous author of all these woes. I closed with tide apt and. forcible quotation from. Scott Where shall the traitor rest. He, the deceiver, Who could win maiden's breast, Ruin—and leave her!

The effect was electrical. When the iJudge could compose himscif and the ' rgowd sufficiently to Charge the jury to retire and make up their verdict, the too. man asked that his honor should retain his sea!, as they would return In five minutes j Bure enough, In less lime, they brought in j* verdict giving damages in the whole amount asked, #IO.OOO This comptoudy j broke up and ruined the seducer, and h< moved out ol the country If the very [ ' i had invoked la the word* of Hot* * had been directly visited upon him, mis for- I liiue cotild not hVe followed sooner' or reore signally lledie<la few year# ago. scorned ofaii men and women ; while hi* s victim afterwards marrind a clever gentle mao, and i* to day a happy wdc and moth er [ Louisville Journal. 5,000,000 - f — -- Pales ol Ootioii Will, pfo‘<ahly be made this year Huy only what you cm pay lor with Cotton nt 10 to 12 1-2 otn _ ELLIS &t~ MOORE i T vy ill open new Cm* hk 1h — RttJrF W lath BOUOHTINNEW YORK DREHH GOODS, hands nun and clcg>ut.
