This clamor for his bloo I is not for tbo purpyee «f wvuuging Garfield or satisfying justice, but their theo ry is this: H itc/i^bo shown that this was the act of a sane man, then that!" The recess hour was marked by soveral heated discussions iu the corridor upon the gonoral question of the moral and intellectual respon sibility, ns sot forth by Mr. Seoville During tho rocesi Mr. Seoville re ceived the following t lngram: New York, January 18—Mr. Sco- villr, Attorney for Ouite.au: Tho Now York Court of Appeals has just de oidod that tho uroseoutiou, whore some evidence of insanity is produc ed for the defenso, mast make out tho case of.sanlty beyond areasona ble doubt.” Couu&ol for defense Will call at- teution to tho latest decision, uud ask Judgo Cox to charge tbo jury to that effect. In resnmmg his ar guinent, Seoville called attention to tho fact the actions of tho pri&o tier at the time of the shooting and immediately after wore in keeping with tho theory of insanity, aud to prove this he quotod the testimo ny of a number of witnesses for the I irosecution, who, he suid, could not >c charged with Idas iu favor of the prisoner. Mr. Gcoville then con Unuod his reviow of tho evidence and pointed out various iucidouts in the prisoner’s life which went to show insanity, or at least tho lack of something in his mental compo sition which other wen possessed Mr. Bcovillo continued to speak tin til three o’clock, when tho court ad journod till to-morrow.

Win. H. Felton. Tins letter is certainly tho most bitter uud veuomous summary of charges against my publio and pn vafo character I have ever seen. The vilest production of carpet-bag slums could not say more t<> defame me. I am pictured as having been all my life—"before the war, during the war and since tho war"—a “cor uipt,” "hypocritical,” “malevolent," ‘'mendacious, man, whoso counsels have "blighted the State of m.v birth, and destroyed tho Democratic par ty,” and as one who, ‘under profes sion of friendship," has always beon treacherous and vindictive! All public men are liable to abuse. I thought I had enjoyed my full share nml would have some exemp tion from such in tho fntnro. But this letter gathers up nearly all of the worst calumnies of the past, Mot ors them with new odium and thou adds new ones invented bv the nn- fliorfor tbe occasion. This fierce flood of utuporntiou comes, too, from a man of whom I never in all my life spoke or wrote ono unkind word but in whoso behalf I bad spoken and written mor - kind words than I over did for anv other man, aud because of my friendship for whom for seven veArs I hud almost imperiled my own stunding in the Democratic party. * * # * # No man has been more earnest, or more frequent, or more fulsome in his praises of mo for forty years than Dr. Keltou. No man has re pelled with more indignation all slanders upon my public and pri-j vate life, aud especially some of the i very slanders he has now rehearsed to defame me. * * * * * If ho did not believe so while pro nouncing such eulogies he has co r - tainly shown himself to be tho most export hypocrite ever yet known.— To act the pait of such a hypocrite for a long Reries of years, without ever exciting the slightest suspicion of his sincerity, la a success in hy pocrisy never before attained, and would eutitle its author to tbe dis tinction of being the hero of hypo crites. * * # * On the other hand, if Dr. Helton did not believe the charges to be true, and yet made them, and made them, too, with suob furious mendacity, then he has shown him self to be the most perfidious aud ungrateful slanderer that the pur lieus of a degraded form of politics ever produced. Without provoca tion, without explanation and with out the slightest previous notice, he has slandered an admitted friend of forty year?, and a friend who, for seven years exposed himself to the reproaches and criticisms of hia par ty in order to maintain this ono man in his political aspirations. the interview which is or which c»h be justly construed to bo personally nn hird, nud Mr. Gmdy or tbe Con stitution, has so distinctly stated * « « ■ ' tf Either Dr. Felton tailored the charges made nud invents I in his letter, or did not believe them, and ou this subject theso propositions aro uow established: 1. If he bolioves the charges he couvicts himself of being the worst bypoci itq ou record. 2. If he does not believe the oher ges, he convicts himself of being tbe worst slanderer ou rwoord 3. The excu-e he offers lor mH king the charges was nM only nn founded, but was Known to be false when offered I I will iro! announce tho terrible conclusion as to What the letter ami the pretense together convict him of being I leave him with the fuctn^ and tlio simple state rnent that a man who will be false to a frfend will bo’(rue to Dothing. »* #■ • •« 1 « Tho truth is the only cause of this unprecedented lottur exists, and cr isis only iu Dr, Felton himself. Af ter a hard struggle with the bitter ucss of defeat, and the wooing of ambition, Dr. Felton has formed n uow purpose, and is ta have now friends and allies. He has not chan ged any of bis political conviction*, but ho has ehanged bis pob'icai parfioses nnd aifiiiaUonst and be is himself ashamed of the obaage. He hopes to deoeive others who have Btood by him in all his strug gles, and he hopes by deceiving them to carry them to his new Allies, But he has no hopes of deceiving me. * •# a * 1 did not npprove of Dr. Feltou's so-called independentism,butfor four elections I refused to go into the district to oppose him, and for ev character, personal aft cry election l g tifleato of gooa and political, which I was often told by both parties and by himself he used with great effect. — ► ♦ ^ w- O — Uud:r the Banks. fi u Conkliog and Arthur created a pro- tba found sensation in tho court rfiom. As soon as reepss was announced Mr. Seoville was surrounded by la dies and gentlemen and congratula ted upon his "fearless exposition." As there eonld be no possible rea son for this conduct, tbe next qnes tion is, What is tbe excuse for it? Dr. Felton uses for his exense an interview with me reported by Mr. Grkdy, in which interview he says I At Loire, in Franco, a Fisher man in digging for bait, unearthed what has proven to be a treasure to tho antiquarians. He foaud a vast qunntity of hummers,axes,jave lin heads, broken swords and dag gers, together with brao-dete, necli lac s, aud oil coin. These relics of ti e past clearly antedate Oteear and his Gallic conquest. The earth is full of memorials of the past, and scientific men are everywhere dig ging for the remains of anoient em pires.

Ilero is a touching aud character* istio story told of this brave, heroic and lamented soldier by a correspon dent of the Courier-Journo); The revival of the history of Hood's Tennessee campaign recalls a circumstance of the bloodiest bat tle, considering time and numbers of the engagement, of the war. Tin morning niter Frankl a I came npon tho body of General Fat Cleburn, among other * that had Been remov ed to ou> temporary hospital. There was a large red silk handkerchief tied loosely about the De«k, and his feet bare to the socks. Remarking on the shame of the thing, that a Confederate Boldier should have thus robbed the deaid )>ody of glori ous old put Cleburne, an officer standing by, whom 1 took to bo of' the dead soldier’s staff, replied that the body had pot been molested. - He related that on the previous af ternoon, a few minutes before we were called into line of battle, Gen eral Cleburne bad come upon one of his command, limping along the line, hi. b ire feet cut by tbq sharp rocks. The bruvegnutpd at, once dismounted, aud against; the protest pf tho fopt-so're private and hero, stripped tho boots from hia feet and made the soldier put teem, on his owu. It was by such- actei as this that Gou.-Cleburne endeared him self to his command; and thus it happened that he went into the bloody charge at Franklin in bis sock feet, and, gallantly leading the pbarge fell in front of Ids columns.
