'! J T! mZtSk BESSEMER STEEL. Sfnnlelpal Honors in Xiondon to Sir Henry Bessemer. The Baltimore Sun says: The city of London, as stated yesterday, has just con ferred the honor of the freedom of that city, In the customary gold box, upou Sir Henry Bessemer, the Inventor of the Bes semer process for making steeL To a resident of London this freedom of the city is a valuable privilege. It enables him to become a member of any one of the rich guilds, to hold any municipal office to which he may be elected, to vote for members of Parliament to represent the city, to become a candidate himself, and exempts him from all tolls and charges for every sort of vehicle he may own in traversing the streets of the city. These tolls all other residents of London en gaged in business have to pay when ever they take up goods in their carts, vans, or wagons within the limits of the municipality. The freedom of the city of London can only be acquired in three ways—by inherit mce from a free citizen, through apprenticeship to a free citizen who is a member of a guild, and by the gift of the municipality, as in the case of Sir Henry Bessemer. This latter honor is only bestowed on notable persons, wh.-ther they be of native or foreign birth, and is very charmingly bestowed. The freedom of the city given to Sir Henry Bessemer is in testimony of the remark able revolution that his process has produced in the making and the cheapen ing of steel. It has only been a few years in operation, and when his invention was first introduced into Sheffield the entire product of steel did not exceed 51,000 tons per annum. Last year the manufac ture of Bessemer steel in England. was 830,000 tons, and it is estimated that in Europe this year 2,000,000 tons will bo manufactured, and in England alone 1,- 000,000 tons. In the United States the product was 783,112 tons, almost rivaling that of England for the same period. The Bessemer process for the conversion of iron into steel has been hitherto ham pered and deprived of some of its effi ciency, as well as made more costly, by the iact that only certain classes of ores were available in the process. In this country, so rich in the various forms of oxidized iron, several classes of ores are capable of conversion; in England, how ever, only the hematites of the Barrow district and the Bilboa ore of Spain have been capable of redaction in the Bessemer converters. It is announced, however, that the new process, known as the Gil- clirist-Thomas process, for converting or dinary iron into steel by means of a basic lining in the Bessemer converters, has been tried on a large scale in the Middle- boro district, and the result is the succcss- ful'convcrsion of common Cleveland ore into Bessemer steel of good quality. The firm of Boikvow, Vaughan it Co., the largest iron and steel masters in the Cleveland district, have commenced work on an extensive scale under this new pro cess, and it is expected that the manu facture of steel rails will receive a great impulse from the success of these experi ments, which have engaged the attention of manufacturers and engineers for some time past. Bo we Eat Too Mis chi The amount of nourishment which a person needs greatly depends on his con stitutional condition of health, habits and work. A sedentary man requires less than one whose duties demand the exercise of his muscles. And a brain worker demands more than an idler. But unquestionably the majority of us take more than we need. Indeed food and work are distributed most unequally. The man of leisure is also the man of means, and fares sumptuously every day; while the laborer toils for eight hours and finds it difficult to get enough to repair the waste of iris tissues. Yet a Chinaman or a Bengalee will toil under a tropical sun and find a few pice worth of rice or jowrah sufficient to retain his strength. A Frenchman will not eat half what an Englishman engaged in the same work will demand, and a Spanish laborer, con tent in ordinary times with a watermelon and a bit of black bread, will toil in the vineyards and grow fat on a dietary of onion porridge and grapes. It is true that Mr. Brassey, when building the con tinental railways, found that one English navvy was worth a couple of spare fed for eigners. But, on tire other hand, the British Columbian and California gold diggers, than whom a more mag nificent set of athletes does not exist, live in the remote mountains of the far West, mainly on beans, flavored with a few cubes of pork. But they also obtain the best of water and the purest of air, aud their out-door life and active exercise enables them to digest every ounce of their frugal fare. The English soldiers, though better fed than those of any army except the American, do not get one half the amount of solid nutriment which the idlest of club loungers considers indispen sable for his sustenance. An athlete in training is allowed even less food; yet he prospers on the limited tare, aud prolongs his life by the regimen to which he has been subjected. King Victor Emanuel was a monarch of the most robust physique; yet he ate only one meal per day, and it is manifestly absurd for any man to re quire three more or less weighty meals and an afternoon cup of tea, to support the exertion of walking to the club, riding anhour in the park, writing a note ortwo and dancing a couple of -miles around a ball-room. The ancients had their “amethnstoi,” or “sober stones,” by which they regulated their indulgence at table. The moderns have not even this. But they have their gout aud their livers to warn them v wbeii it is too late, that na ture has been overtasked.—London Stand ard. The Best of am. Schools.—The fire side is a seminary of infinite importance, because it is universal, and because the education it bestows, being woven in with the woof of childaood, gives form aud color to the whole texture of life. There are few who can receive the honors of a college, but all are graduates of the hearth. The learning of the university way fade from the recollection, its classic lore may moulder in the halls of memory, but tbe simple lessons of borne, enameled upon the heart of childhood, defy tbe rust of years, and outlive the more mature but •css vivid pictures in after years. So deep, so lasting, indeed, are the im pressions made in early life, that yon of ten see a man in the imbecility of jige holding fresh hi his recollection the events of childhood, while all the wide space be tween that and the present hour is a blas ted and fqrgotten waste. You have, per chance, seen an old and obliterated por trait, and in the, attempt to havo it cleansed and restored, you may have seen it fade away, while a brighter and more perfect picture paiuted beneath i3 revealed to view. The portrait, first drawn upon the canvass, i3 no faint illustration of youth; and though it may be conceal-, cd by some after-design, still tlie original traits will shine through tbe outward pic ture, giving its tone while fresh and sur viving its decay. Such is the fireside, the great institution of Providence for the ed ucation of man. Anotueb Modern Samson.—Joseph Pospischill, who is now a prisoner in the Anstrian fortress of Ofen, on conviction of (highway robbery, Is said to be the strong er. man living. One of the feats for which he was renowned was to support in ■the air, with his hands and teeth, a table ■upon which two gypsies danced, while the -third fiddled. He and one of his broth- •ers, only less powerful-than himself, were ■wont to bear upon their shoulders a wood en platform shaped like a bridge; while a cart full of stones, drawn by two horses, was driven over it. One day, when the jail in which he is confined was undergo ing a visit from the municipal prison In spectors, this Hercules volunteered to give the authorities a specimen of his powers, and, upon receiving their permis sion to do so, picked up with his teeth a heavy mahogany taMe, nine feet long, belonging to the governor, and balanced it aloft for nearly half a minute. Served Him Right.—Thomas Whit taker w as brought before court in Pitts burg the second time for publishing an obscene paper in that city, fined $2,550, and sentenced to eight years’ 'mpriion- 0112 ut. The Morey Letter. New York, October 28.—The follow ing affidavit in the Philips case was read in court yesterday: New York City, and county of^ New York, ss.—Geo. U. Bliss being first dniy sworp, deposes and says as follows: On or about tne 20th of October,instant, there was published in a daily newspaper, print ed and published in the city of New York, called Truth, what purported to be a copy of a letter written and signed by Hon. J. A. Garfield, of Ohio, Republican candidate for President of the United States. On the 22d of October, instant, there was published in said paper called Truth, what purported to be, and was alleged in said paper to be a fac simile of such letter, the original, of which was in said paper slated to be in possession of Truth, and In said paper, on said last mentioned day, there appeared an article of which the following is a copy: “ LYING AND STICKING TO IT. “The Republican National Committee yesterday held a meeting to consider the best way of appeasing the storm of popu lar indignation that Garfield’s infamous Chinese cheap labor letter lias aroused. Garfield has denounced the letter as a forgery. He has lied and tbe Republican National Committee stick to the lie. That was the decision at which they arrived yesterday. On this question of veracity between Garfield’s word .and Garfield's letter, the people of the UnitedStates will know how to decide. They will not be deceived by the persistent lying of tbe Re publican committee. Garfield’s own words in Garfield's own writing confront Gar field’s lie. Tbe Republican candidate for the presidency in his desperation has tried to lie himself out of tbe difficulty that will swamp him. The Republican Gen eral Committee, while cursing his lolly in their hearts, lie for h ! m because his swamping is their utter destruction. Pay no heed, voters, to what is said on one side or the other. Examine Garfield’s letter as it is la<d before you to-day, and judge for yourselves.” I fuither state that I have, in connection with others, caused an investigation to be made as to the authorship of said forged letter and said article, and as to the use which had been made of the same by pub lishers and proprietors of said newspaper, and bave ascertained that said proprietors and managers have caused to be issued several hundred thousand copies of said newspaper, containing copies of said forged letter and a large number of copies of said paper containing said article. I further state that, aftercareful investi gation as to tbe authorship of said forged let.er and said article, I am led to believe and do believe, and I therefore chaige, that said letter was written and forged by a person named Kenward Philip, one of the editors of, dr writers for, said newspaper, and that having forged said letter he wrote and caused to be published in said paper, called Truth, said article referring thereto, which is hereinbefore quoted; and I further state, upon information and belief, that tbe ar ticle so published reflecting upon the said Garfield, is a false, malicious and wicked libel, and that said article was intended to assert tbe genuineness of the said 'forged and fraudulent letter, which said Philip knew to be forged and fraudulent. That subsequent to said publication in said Truth, or at some time, the pro prietor of said Truth, as I am informed and believe, entered into some agreement with the DemocraticNational Committee, or with some members thereof, by which it was arranged that large numbers of said forged letter should be circulated, ahd to that end, since tbe denial of its authen ticity by said Garfield, have delivered or entrusted to said committee said foiged letter for the purpose of having the same copied and photographed or litlirograplied, and that in pursuance thereof the said committee have caused many hundred thousand copies of said foiged letter to be circulated in various forms, both in the English and German languages. An affidavit follows by Jos. E. Payne, an expert in handwriting, stating that the Morey letter is not in Garfield’s handwrit ing, but that it coincides in some particu lars with that of Philip. He declares that certain manuscripts signed Kenward Phil ip and K. Philip, submitted to him, and the Morey letter were written by one and the same person. A. F. Soutliwortb, of Boston, 'and D. T. Ames, of New York, also experts, make corroborative affidavits. New Yoek, October 28.— In the trial before Judge Davis to-day, in regard to the alleged foiged letter of Garfield on Chinese labor, the prosecution demanded he production of the original letter from which the photographic copy was made. Joseph Hart, one of the proprietors'of the paper which printed the original letter, said he had the original letter, but de clined to produce it at the present time. His counsel said they would produce the original when they deemed the proper time had arrived. The court committed Hal for contempt. The further hearing of the case was postponed until commit ment papers had been made out. Counsel for Philip have decided to produce the original Morey letter in court this afternoon. The proceedings in the case attracted a large crowd of spectators. The charge upon which Philip is arraign ed is malicious libel on General Garfield. Judge Davis occupied the bench, and there was a full array of counsel on both sides. Assistant District Attorney Bell, for the people, called as first witness Colonel F. M. Rockwell, United States Army, of Washington. He testified be had known Garfield twenty-seven years. Was his classmate and graduated with hfm at college. In his extensive corres pondence with Garfield, more than one thousand letters had passed between them. Witness was, therefore, perfectly familiar with Garfield’s handwriting. New York, October 28.—A communi cation was read last night at the Demo cratic headquarters of the National Com mittee from Richard S. Goodwin, of this city, stating that he had lived in Lynn, Mass., from 1870 to 1880; knew the or ganization called Manufacturers’ union, or Employers’ union; knew Morey, also, and that lie was.agent for the union. New York, October 2S.—The litho graph was handed witness and identified by him as a copy of a letter received by him in December from Garfield. Beil asked counsel for the defense if they had tbe original Morey letter in court. In reply they stated that they did not pro pose to answer that question at the pres ent time. A photograph of the letter in a gilt frame was handed In by the de fense. Mr. Bell declined to receive this, and again called for the original, in order that he might examine Col. Rockwell in re gard to it. Counsel for Philip stated that the orig inal letter was not in the possession of their client, but was held by Hart, the publisher of llie paper in which it first appeared. Tbe latter was in court, and was called to the witness’ stand. Hart said he had not the original Morey letter with him; it was in the possession of a friend,'but he declined to give his name. Witness could not procure the letter, as his friend was out of town. Mr. Bell demanded the name of the party to whom the letter had been deliv ered, but Mr. Hart again refused to an swer. The court ordered him to answer, but he again, in a respectful tone, declined. Judge Davis ordered him committed for contempt of court, and he was handed over to the custody of Police Captain Walsh. . Mr. Howe made a motion to puige Hart from contempt, saying that Hart was willing to produce the letter, bnttliat he wanted a guarantee that the letter should bo returned to him. Howe explained that lie did not mean to say that the court would take the letter, but that it might pass into subordinate hands and he lost. Continuing, Howe said that if the letter was to remain in custody of Judge Davis, Hart was willing to produce it. Answering, Judge Davis said that the letter would remain in his custody. On motion Hart was allowed three hours to go with connsel, and procure the letter. Ho made a statement that he was willing to produce the letter, but that it must be returned to him, or else remain in custody of Judge Davis, which was agreed to. Hart and his counsel then left to get the letter. Col. Rockwell wa3 then called, aud asked as to the identity of the letter writ ten by James A. Garfield to Marshall Jewell> denying the authenticity of the letter. He testified that Garfield’s letter to Jewell was genuine. Question by Mr. Bell: “Look at this copy of the newspaper called Truth, and also at tbe copy dated the 20th. Look at the photographic copy of the letter pur porting U> be signed by Jas. A. Garfield, and slate if in your judgment it is in Gen. Garfield’s handwriting.” Mr. Brooks, for the defense, objected to tbe question, as the comparison was made with a photograph copy and not with the original, which would be produced. J udge Davis ruled that the evidence was premature, as no proof had been given that the fac simile was a photograph copy, and that the prisoner had not as yet been connected with it. Arecess was then taken till 2.30 p. m. New York, October 28.—Mr. Hart came into court at seven minutes to three o’clock and tendered an apology for being late, saying that he had been delayed by an indictment in the State court for libel on complaint of Marcus Cicero Stanley. He then took the stand. Hart produced the letter, and it was marked for identifi cation. Bell asked for the envelope and Hart said he was told to bring the letter only, and that it would take him five hours to get it. New York, October 26.—In tbe Philip libel case counsel for Hart have pre pared a subpoena directed to James A. Garfield, commanding him to appear and testify at the investigation this afternoon. The connsel claims that Garfield is at the Windsor Hotel, though not registered. New 1 oek, October 28.—At half-past two, on the reassembling of the court, Mr. Hart produced the original Morey letter, purporting to have been signed by Gen. Garfield. He failed to produce the envel ope, saying it was not called for in tlio subpoena. He also said that he kept it for protection, as he was informed that an order for arrest had been granted against him in a suit instituted by Marcos Cicero Stanley and George Wilkes. Judge Da vis told him that while he was a witness he would not be interfered with, and he then promised to produce the envelope to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. Col. A. F. Rockwell was called. He testified that he purchased a copy ot the Washington Gazette when it first pub lished the fac simile cojiy of tbe Morey letter and compared it with' letters in his possession received from Garfield, and then thought it a forgery. He communi cated with Gen. Garfield, and on a tele graphic request from Henry E. Knox, came to this city and submitted to Col. Bliss a dozen letters he had received from Garfield, and one was chosen to compare the exhibits and facsimile copies of the Morey letter. The letter was chosen by Bliss, but he didn’t know it was picked out because it resembled the letter of de nial from Garfield to Marshall,Jewell, bat thought it was chosen because it was nearest to it in da*e. When shown the Morey letter he examined it closely, and didn’t think it was Garfield’s writing, though there was some resemblance. On cross-examination, he stated that he was assistant quartermaster in the army, but was detailed to take chaige of na tional cemeteries; that his present ap pointment was due to General Garfield’s interest in him, he having been a class mate of his, and that he was greatly in debted to him. Albert Daggett, ex-sheriff of Kings county, New York, testified that lie had known Philip for some years and knew his handwriting. On looking at the man uscript copy of tbe article published in Truth, entitled “Lying and sticking to it,” he said it was.in Philip’s handwriting, and on comparing it with the Morey let ter, he thought they were in the same handwriting. He was a strong Republi can, and had large sums wagered on Gar field’s election. James McDermott’testi fied that he knew Philip well, was familiar with his handwriting, and on comparing the Morey letter with the exhibits, he be lieved them to be the same. He admitted having been indicted for felonious assault, but not convicted, and stated that while a reporter of the Brooklyn Journal, he had been sued for $50,000 damages for libel. Charles Hoffman testified that he is em ployed by Sarony, and photographed the fac simile copies from the original, which was given Mr. Sarony by Mr. Hart. Daniel T. Ames, an espert, was called. He compared the/«c simile copy with the exhibits written by Philip aud with one of Garfield’s letters, and declared the crossing of the “t’s” and the general for mation of loops, pen shades, general slope and scope were more characteristic of the writing of the exhibits than of Gar field’s letter. He stated that the writing in the exhibits and the Morey letter was the same. He was cross-examined as to other trials in which he had been a wit ness. His cross-examination will be con tinued to-morrow motning. An adjourn ment has been taken until ten o’clock. Cleveland, October 29.—Garfield is still at home, in Mentor, and in answer to a telegraphic inquiry relative to the sub poena for him to appear in New York, re plied he had heard of no such document. New York, October 28.—Examination of Kenwaid Philp, charged with a crimi nal libel upon Gen. Garfield, was resumed before Judge Davis in the Supreme Court this morning. There was a large crowd of spectators present. The envelope in which the Morey letter was contained was handed to Judge Davis, and on motion of counsel Mr. Hait was declared pmged of contempt. Assistant District Attorney Bell called Albert S. Southworth to the stand. He testified that he was an expert in hand writing of fifteen years’ experience. He had compared the photographic and pho to-lithographic copies of the Morey letter with the Rockwell and Jewell letters, and did not think they were in the same hand writing. Also compared the Morey letter with exhibits marked A, B, C, D, etc., (the exhibits on which warrant of arrest wa3 obtained) hnd found a sufficiency of characteristics to enable him to form the opinion, that they were in the same handwriting. In reply to a question of Bell, (after the interrogation bad been changed to meet the objections of the de fense) witness said: “My best judgment is that the handwriting in the Morey letter and in the exhibits marked A to K is the same.” Cross-examineJ.— Witness had come from Boston on a telegraphic request of Marshall Jewell; expected pay for his ser vices; made affidavit at the request of Messrs. Stoughton, Knox and Davenport; gave before them a synopsis of what he would testify to; never saw the original Morey letter until this morning; was ex amined {as a witness in the Whitaker case; had known Mr. Ames (the expert examined yesterday) several years, and did not receive any communication from him in regard to this matter. In the Whita ker case he did not testify or state in con versation that it was impossible to give anyjndgment on photographic representa tions of handwriting. . In the Hesdra will case he also testified as an expert. He did not know that that case was decided against his testimony. On the Taylor will case he testified that tne signature to the will was not James B. Taylor’s signature; did not know Gen. Garfield; did not know for whom he will vote—may not vote again. The prosecution next called Wm. E. Hogan, of Troy, an expert in handwriting. Witness had examined the Morey letter, and photographic and photo-lithographic copies of it together with exhibits A. to K. and his opinion was that the person who wrote the exhibits wrote tbe Morey letter. The Morey letter was evidently tlio writ ing of a person imitating another’s hand- introducing, however, strong characteris tics of his own. In exhibit A, in the signature of Kenward Fliilp, the K is ex actly similar to ‘K” in “kept” in the Mo rey letter. The witness found other simi larities in the letters. He had examined the photo-lithographic copies of exhibits Nos. 1 and 2 and the originals thereof (Rockwell and Jewell letters), and he de clared they were not in the same hand writing. ' He was cross-examined byMr. Brooke. Ho received a telegram from Governor Jewell yesterday to come here, and expected to be paid; did not know Gen. Garfield and was not interested in him any further than to give his vote. The witness was then sworn by Mr. Stoughton for the prosecution. The en velope produced this morning was handed him and he was asked if there had been any erasure on the stamp, and answered in tbe affirmative. Continuing, he said: “There is an erasure on the stamp in the date of the month. I cannot say what the original date was. The indications are that the date and month have been erased by rubbing on tbe back of the en velope the stamp date. There are indica tions of erasure. The date and month cannot be deciphered. There are three stamps on the envelope in which no dale can be made out—all dates seemingly be ing erased.” South wo rthwas then recalled bv Mr. Stoughton. He was handed the Morey envelope and after examining it testified that the address on the envelope is not in th^iandwriting of the person who wrote tire Rockwell and Jewell letters, bat closely resembles the writing of the per son who wrote the exhibits marked A. to K. Allen M. Lee, a newspaper reporter, was examined by the prosecution. Was familiar with Fbilp’s handwriting; exhib it A. to K. were known to him; witness was of the opinion that they were in Fhiip’s handwriting; had seen photo- lithograph of the Morey letter and be lieved it to be in Fhiip’s handwriting; thought so when he first saw the copy; Philip always had ahabit of spellingsuch words as “companies” and similar words with “ys”j instead of “ies”; in the Morey letter this mistake iamade. At this stage of the case, Mr. Bell said that he would like an adjournment, as he bad other witnesses to examine who were not present. He expected, he said, a wit ness irom Lynn, Mass., who had not yet arrived, and that Mr. Payne, his other ex pert witness, was lying sick and could not attend. This was objected to by Mr. Brooke, and General Pryor, also for the defense, said he thought it was due to his side to allow him to produce proof of the genuineness of the letter. Mr. Stoughton shook his head, and General Pryor, continuing, said: “Ah, I well knew my friend would shake hi3 head! It is not the purpose of the prose cution to allow us to proceed with our ev idence, so that it will have its legitimate effect in the country.” [Applause.] Judge Davis—“Officers, put out those in the rear portion of the room.” This was promptly done, and Mr. Stoughton, arising, said that he knew now the reason why the envelope had not been previously produced. The stamps on it were not genuine, and witnesses to prove that fact would be called from 'Washing ton and from Lynn. He denied the im putation of General Pryor, saying that the prosecution was honestly conducted and would be speedily continued. Mr. Brooke replied, maintaining that if he had proof to offer to show the genu ineness of the letter, no adjournment should be granted, and he should be al lowed to present it. Tho pros- cution, lie continued, could procure their witnesses by telegraphing for them and examining them when they arrived. Mr. Brooke contended that the prosecution was conducted for public effect and not for the purpose of convicting or having held for trial the defendant, who, he claimed, had waived an examination and demanded a speedy trial, which the pros ecution would not allow. He was ready and anxious to disprove the charge of the falsity of the letter, and demanded, as his right, an opportunity of furnishing such proof without adjournment. This was objected to by Sir. Bell aud Col. Bliss who asserted that they had already tele graphed to Washington for witnesses aud thought they would be here by to-mor-' row, but the residence of one witness who lives in Massachusetts was not exactly known. Judge Davis—“Owing to national sig nificance I thought it my duty to sit as examining magistrate, and although it is not jusual for a justice in the Supreme Court to so use his authority, it is not without precedent. Chief Justice Mansfield, in a case similar to this, so sat, aud committed the defendant after evi dence was admitted. If this letter was in fact writteu by Mr. Garfield, as an expres sion of the sentiments he entertained on the subject of tbe letter, it was un worthy of him and should condemn him. There is no possible doubt, I think, in the minds of thinking men in this country that tbe idea with which this letter closes —that the treaty with a great power (so far as population is concerned, the largest on earth) should not be abrogated uutil the manufacturing and other corpo rations are conserved on the question of the labor’—simply means until they are supplied to their satisfaction with the cheap labor of the Chi nese. Such a sentiment uttend by a presidential candidate would, of course, bave a most serious effect; but if it be not genuine, and a forgery, every thinking man will not only admit but will at once entertain with pleasure the thought that the forger should be promptly and severely condemned. Now, under such circumstances, I feel it to be my duty to sit as examining magis trate, and to issue my warrant—not for the purpose of subserving the interests of any party. No approach to me has ever been made on that subject by any person connected with any party, and it is not my intention so to conduct this case as to lead to any other than perfect and abso lute truth. This application for adjourn ment is an ordinary one, and would be granted. It is in conformity with univer sal practice, and, besides, on the part of the prosecution, extra delays have been occasioned by the non-production of the letter, for which tho court was obliged to postpone the hearing in the first ilace something more than three iouis, and then, by a resort to what must appear to every one as a very strict con struction of language, the envelope was not forthcoming, and five hours were con sumed. These extra delays caused tho loss of nearly half a day Though coun sel in this case are not blameable for this, I am not willing to be put in a false posi tion. I will give both sides every oppor tunity to present their evidence. If the prosecution are not ready, the defense can proceed, and give way when the prosecu tion are ready. I will adjourn the case until two o’clock.” New York, October 29.—When the court reassembled at two o’clock, Gen. Pryor and Mr. Brooke, of counsel for the defense, entered, accompanied by Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, whose presence gave rise to a report that he was to be called to the stand as a witness for the defense. Witness Hogan was recalled. He testi fied: “I have submitted the Morey en velope to a microscopic test, and have found an erasure. I also find that on the stamp the figure 2 was printed, while what I call a figure 1 is not printed, but is a lougitudinal stroke. Tho stamp on the reverse also shows evidence of two erasures within the ring under tho word ‘Morey.’ Cross-examined byMr. Broake.—“I ex amined the envelope at the post-office, in the presence of Mr. Bliss, Mr. Stoughton, Mr. Gayford. Mr. Finn, and Mr. Knox. I don’t know who brought it there.” Judge Davis—“I entrusted it to Mr. Bell.” Mr. Brooke—“I understood it was not to go out of ycur Honor’s control, and I call your attention to the fact that it is not in the same condition a3 when we de livered it.” Judge Davis—“I ent off a pait of the edge. The tears in it were all there.” Charles Hoffman was then called, and testified as follows: “The photograph of the envelope was made under my super vision. I recoived it from Mr. Hart, and it is in the same condition now as when I received it. I noticed no erasures; I did not look for them. I sent the letter and envelope to the office.” John Phin testified: “ I reside in New Jersey. I am editor ef the American Journal of Microscopy, and have made it a study for twenty-live years. I have been called as a witness and as an expert before. I saw tho Morey letter envelope two hours ago, and have examined It un der the microscope. The surface of the paper is disturbed in many places, which can be discovered by holding it to the light. At several points along and above the name the fibres are disturbed. There is an erasure above tbe word ‘Morey,’ where there had been evi dently the word ‘Esq.’ The disturbance ofthefibreisouthe outside of the envel ope. On the face of the envelope I saw the word ‘Esq.,’ but could not tell what the other erasures were.” Judge Davis—“Can witness fix his mi croscope so that I can examine the envel ope?” ! The instrument was then arranged, and an examination made by the Justice. | Mr. Phin was then cross-examined by ; Mr. Howe. He was shown a part of an * envelope with the words “J. A. Garfield, j M. C.,” and the marks of a stamp on it. Oil request he made a microscopic investi gation of it, an 1 testified: “The mark is stamped—it has been stamped twice.” •WHAT THEY SAY AT LYNX. Boston, October 29.—A meeting of the Lynn manufacturers was held last night, at which resolutions were adopted in re sponse to the statement of Mower Bros. 1 * regarding tho “Employers’ Union,” In which they declare that the meetings of the manufacturers in January and Febru ary, 1878, were of an informal character, with no president, secretary or permanent officers, and at no time was the term “Em ployers’ Union” ever used or suggested. John Shaw, Second, who is said by the Mower Bros, to have presided at the Employers’ Union, of which they were members, denies under oath that he ever knew of such organization. On one occasion only he presided at an informal meeting of a few manufacturers, when thequestion of forming some permanent organization was discussed, and it was unanimously decided to be inexpedient. H. J. Pearson was called for the prosecution and examined by Col. Bliss. He testified: “I am assistant postmaster, and have been such for seven years. For eight years previous I was in the railway mail service from Wasbingtan to’ New York. Letters from Washington to Bos ton are put in pouches in Washington and sent right through, the pouches not being opened in this city. In case the pouches were delayed, the mail would be taken to the New lorkpostofficc, and the packages would be removed to other pouches, but letters would not be stamped here.” No cross-examination. John Richards, called for the prosecu tion, testified: I am ‘general superinten dent of the city delivery department of the post-office; have been so for seven years. Letters received for city delivery only are stamped. The time of tbe stamp is changed every thirty minutes, and a proof taken of it and cei tified to be correct be fore it is used. Tne stamp of the Morey letter is the reoaiving stamp of our office. The date i3 not on it. The figure ‘2’ is the last letter of tho double date.” - J. F. Stroud, called for the prosecution, testified: “I am head clerk of the railway mail service between Washington and New York. In January, 1SS0, letters from Washington to Lynn, Mass., did not go through tbe New York post-office, except on Sunday mornings.” No cross-examina tion. Assistant Postmaster Pearson, recalled for the prosecution, testified: “The Wash ington mail that goes through this city on Sunday mornings, goes through in the orig inal pouches, without being changed.” Daniel T. Ames, recalled for the prose cution, testified that tbe handwriting on the Morey envelope closely resembles the exhibits which are in Philp’s writing. The case was then adjourned until to morrow morning at 11 o’clock. New York, October 30.—The prosccu- on in the Philp case has closed, reserv- ng the right to call other witnesses. Count el for the defense, in opening, stated tha- ey would prove the existence of the Mo- oy letter, and that the letter is genuine. . An immense crowd oi spectators was in attendance at the examination this morn- insr, in the case of Kenward Philp, charged with malicious libel upon General Gar field. At 11 o’clock Judge Davis ordered the doors closed. Police Captain Walsh and a squad of officers had great difficulty in preserving order in the throng that fairly packed the badly ventilated apartment. District Attorney Bell asked for addition al time to procure the attendance of wit nesses from Washington, whereupon Mr. Howe, for tbe defense, said: “In order that no time may be lost, we ask you to allow us to calPto the stand three wit nesses from Washington. These gentle men are George C. Wedderbarn, Major Willett, and Mr. Wilson, by whom I ex pect to prove the genuineness of the let ter from examinations that have been made with documents written by General Garfield on file in Washington. ■ Mr. Bell objected, saying counsel would have plenty of time during the day to ex amine them. Mr. Howe—“With that l am satisfied.” Daniel T. Ames, the expert, was re called by the prosecution, and gave the following testimony: “I have compared the Morey envelope with exhibits A to K, and the handwriting is similar. It does not resemble exhibits 1 and 2 (Rockwell and Jewell letters.) The handwriting on the Morey envelope is the work of tbe same man who wrote exhibits marked A toK.” Cross-examined.—“I know Geo. Simp son, Jr. I do not regard him as an ex pert. lie is simply a copyist. I was ed itor of the Penman's Art Journal in May, 1S77.” Mr. Howe showed witness a copy of a journal in which Mr. Simpson was spoken of as a well-known round-hand writer and professional expert. Mr. Howe—“Did yon write that article, Mr. Ames ?” A—“I don’t recollect.” Q—“Well, what is your opinion of him now as an expert ?” A—“I won’t express an opinion.” Q_«.Come, Mr. Ames; have no false delicacy.” A—“I decline to answer.” Mr. Howe — “Well, you may go.” [Laughter.] Mr. Bell then asked the indulgence of the court for a few moments, saying that his associate connsel, with a witness from Washington, were expected every mo ment. Mr. W. A. Chauser was called by Mr. Bell for tho prosecution: “I am cancel clerk in the Washington post-office, and have been all this year. The cancel stamp on the Morey letter ha3 not been used in our office this year. The stamp used was a combination stamp, marking the postage stamp and giving the date at the same time. The stamp on the Morey letter is made, I should think, by a steel stamp. I ain not able to say if it was af fixed in the office. The cancellation stamp on the postage stamp on the envel ope was not used in January last. It was first used about the middle of February. Witness produced the form ot the stamp used prior to the month of February.” Continuing, he testified (producing a stamp used after February): The use of that stamp 1 ] was discontinued about the 15th of February and these were put in use then.” Cross-examined—“Col D. B. Ainger is postmaster in Washington. I have seen a statement made by him ip a newspaper recently. lie is my supervi sor. I do not know that he caused to be published the statement that the changes in stamps I have referred to were made on April 13th. I have never heard of such a publication.” Colonel D. B. Ainger was then called and examined by Mr. Bliss. He testified: “I havo been postmaster of the city Wash ington since January 13lh. I havo never seen tho Morey envelope. The canceling stamps of the office have not been tho same since I wa3 appointed. The stamps in use now were not in use in January last. The .change’ was made in February. The stamp on the Morey letter was not in use in our ofilce in January last, at least not on and after the 13th.” Cross-examined by Mr. Brooke.—“I know the business of my office, though it is impossible for me to know all tbe de tails—there are more important duties than tho thorough knowledge of cancel ing stamps. One ol our duties is to see that letters are properly receipted, can celed -and stamped. As postmaster of Washington I do not know tho precise date of the change of stamps. I did make the statement that the change of stamps was not effected until the 13th of April. That statement was published.” Re-directby Mr. Bell.—“That statement was not an‘official one. I saw the fac simile of the envelope in Truth, and I thought I might have made an error. I examined the stamp on it and then sent for my assistant postmaster and directed him to ascertain the exact time at which the stamps were changed, and found it was in February. I then went to the man who made the stamps, and he informed me that he was paid on February 13lh, but that he had delivered tbe stamps some time before. The new stamps were first put in use between the 13th and 19th of ; February.” Examined by Mr. Brooke, for tbe de fense.—“I didn’t see Mr. Marshall Jewell before the publication of the statement. I saw him last night. I came to Yew York not knowing that I was subpecnaed. I came becauso I was interested officially in this trial.” Examined by Mr. Bliss, for the prose cution.—“I came to New York last night.” Mr. Bliss announced that he had re ceived a dispatch from Lynn, Mass., sav ing that tbe postmaster was out of town, and that he (Mr. Bliss) could not have him here before Monday. Mr. Brooke, for the defense—“I shall ask you to sit to-morrow. This, your Honor, is a preliminary examination be- [ fore a committing magistrate;” Judge Davis—“We will consider that at adjournment.” District-Attorney Bell then called Col. Bliss to the stand. He testified: “I am the complainant, and I selected the Rock well letter, which was selected becanse it was desired to have one that could be photo-lithographed with the Jewell letter, and because it was also nearest in date to the alleged Morey letter.” Cross-examined by Mr. Brooke—“I saw all the papers in the case, or nearly all. I saw the exhibits, but did not know they were stolen. I asked if it came directly or indirectly through the hands of Louis J. Post, and I was informed it did not.” Mr. Eell then stated he rested his case, reserving the privilege of calling the latter as a witness, expert Payne and the Lynn postmaster, with one of tho clerks. Counsellor Howe-T*‘May it please the Court, it is a matter of congratulation that the prosecution have terminated tb#ir so-called case. We are delighted to have the opportunity to prove the innocence oi Mr. Philp, and, incidentally of course, that of the newspaper called Truth. Our defense will substantiate the letter as published, and prove the genuineness of James A. Gai field’s signature. While we have the right to ask your Honor to dis miss this case on the testimony adduced, we feel we have a higher duty than that. I am desired to state, on behalf ot Mr. Hart and Mr. Philp, that your Honor’s exami nation in this case has been a fair one. We propose to prove that the letter, and envelope were received by Mr. Hart, who will prove how and from whom he re ceived them, and that until after the pub lication of the/ae simile Mr. Philp never saw the letter. We will prove Morey’s existence; we will call his executors, and will call experts to disprove the expert and post-office testimony of tho prosecu tion. We will produce gentlemen occu pying high position, who will testify to the genuineness of Garfield’s signature. We shall also show beyond doubt that it is not in the handwriting of Mr. Philp, but a bonajide signature of tho Republican Presidential nominee.” Mr. Philp and Mr. John I. Davenport were then called to testify, but were not present, and Mr. Bell took the stand, who testified as follows: “The original papers on which the warrant was issued i have in my hands. I became possessed of the original manuscript of the article entitled ‘Lying and sticking to it,’ on the 2Gili of October. It wa3 handed to me at the rooms of the Republican National Com mittee, by whom I can’t say. Messrs. Rockwell, Knox, Bliss, Stoughton, and probably John I. Davenport were there. 1 don’t know how it came from the Truth office.” Mr. Brooke requested Mr. Stoughton to take the stand. He testified: “I am of counsel for the prosecution. I 6aw thp exhibit shown Mr. Bell in the Republican National Committee rooms. I don’t know how it came from the Truth office.” Brooke asked Knox to take tne stand. He testified: “lam also of counsel for the . prosecution. I saw the exhibit in the National Committee rooms. Daven port showed it to me. I don’t know how it was procured, ne] did not tell me how or where he got it. I don’t know, nor have I beard,' how it was obtained. I saw it first last Sun.-ay at the Union League Cldb. I have seen it several times, and it was generally in Davenport’s possession.” Mr. Brooke—“Mr. Bel!, when will Mr. Davenport be here ?” Mr. Bell—“Shortly; I was to meet him at recess.” Mr. Brooke—“Judge Davis says we are to have none.” Judge Davis—“I would rather go with out a meal than to sit on Sunday.” Mr. Brooke — “Ju3t as your Honor pleases. We are willing to sit late to night.” Judge Davis—“It necessary I will sit until the clock strikes 12.” A recess was then taken until 2 o’clock. New York, October 30 Judge Davis again took his seat on the bench at 2 o’clock. Philp was present, occupying a seat near liis counsel. The presence of a lady among the audience attracted much attention. It was stated she was in some way cannected with the case, but nothing definite could be learned. Joseph E. Payne was called to the stand byMr. Bell. He testified: “I have been accountant with A. A. Low for twenty- four years, and have been an expert in handwriting for fifteen years—often in very important cases. I have seen the original of the Morey letter, as well as tho fac simile photo and photo-litho graphic copies. I have compared the photos with the exhibits in Philp's hand writing. I have examined the photos care fully in comparison with the Morey letter and exhibits, and I can state that in my opinion they are in the same handwriting as that in the exhibits referred to. Hiave examined the Rockwell and Jewell let ters, exhibits 1 and 2, ancompared them with the M< rey letter, and assert that they are not in the same handwriting. The Morey envelope I have examined since I have been in in the room. I have exam ined the fac similes before. In my opin ion it is not in the handwriting of the wri ter of the Ro.ckweil and Jewell letters, but is in the handwriting of tho writer of ex hibits A to K.” Cross-examined by. Mr. Brooke.—“Mr. Seth Low is a member of the firm of A. A. Low & Co. ftlimfc he is a prominent Republican.” The defense resumed and called An drew. He testified: "“I ain manager ot the Brooklyn Eagle, and have known de fendant twelve years. 1 know his hand writing well, as during these years lie and I have been working in the same office. I have seen him write almost daily. I see for the first time the original Morey letter and envelope, and from ray knowledge of Philp’s handwriting, I have no doubt whatever but that it is not in the hand writing of Philp. Ho has not been in the habit of spelling companies in the way it is spelled here. I must have edited nearly one thousand columns of Philp's matter, and have never known him to spell sncli words in that way. I have been editor of the Eagle for eight years, and during that time James McDermott was never on the paper. I know his reputation, and would not believe him under oath, if there was any temptation for him to testify falsely.” No cross-examination. James Gordon was called by Mr. Brooke, and testified: “I am one of the editors of the Brooklyn Eagle, and have worked with Philp. I have been engaged with him in the composition of dramatic work, and am thoroughly familiar with liis handwriting. The Morey letter and envelope I am positive are not in Philp’s handwriting. I never knew of Philp’s spelling the^lural of words in ‘ies’ ‘ys,’ as ‘company!'’ is spelled here. I have ex amined a ream of his copy. I know James McDermott, and his character for 1 veracity is not good. Cross-examined.—“Tho exhibit entitled ‘Lying and sticking to it’ is in Philp's handwriting.” Frederick C. Hudson was called and testified: “ I am connected with the Eagle, and have been for twelve years; I know Philp and have seen ream's of his copy; the Morey letter and envelope are notin his handwriting; I know James McDermott; his oath would not have any more effect on me than his statement, which I might believe if corroborated; I never knew Philp to spell companies ‘companys,’ such as it is spelled in the Morey letter; on page sixteen of the man uscript of the novel you hand me I find the words ‘duties’ correctly spelled ;■ also the words ‘species,’ ‘enemies,’ ‘sympathies,’ ‘families,’and other words throughout the manuscript, correctly spelled.” Cross-examined.—“I have been the Al bany correspondent for tbe Eagle. Flulp was not then with me, and during that time I have not seen his copy. The Brook lyn Eagle 'is a sound Democratic paper, and McDermott, as I believe, is working for the Republican party. I have written articles on the Morey ictter, which were published in the Eagle. I speak of Me- McDermott’s character for truth and ve racity on his general reputation. I heard Albert H. Argell, of the Brooklyn Union, speak against his character. I can’t recall the names of the others who spoke of his repntation. Areell, I believe, had a diffi culty with him' The article ‘Lying and Sticking to it,’ is in Philp’s handwrit ing.” , Mr. Brooke then called Wa. S. Har vey, who testified mainly as follows: “I am a journalist connected with tbe Brooklyn Eagle. 1 have known Philp for fourteen years. I am an editorial writer. I may say Philp and I have been associate editors on the Brooklyn Union. I have seen a great deal of hi* manuscript. I am an Oxford graduate. The Morey letter and envelope, as shown me, are not in Philp’s handwriting. I know James McDermott, and while 1 have been on the Eagle I have not known him to be reporter on it. His repu tation for truth and veracity is not good, in - my opinion, would believe him under oath if there was half a dollar one way, and wouldn’t be lieve him under oath if there was a dollar the other way.” Cross-examined.—“I saw the fac simile of the letter and envelope in the Truth. I had not seen the originals until I came on the stand. The article headed ‘Lying and Sticking to It,’ I believe to be in Philp's handwriting. I have seen Mc Dermott in and out of the Eagle office, but 1 never knew him to be engaged there.” New York, October 30.—John L. Sweet was then called for the defense and testified: “I am foreman of the printing office of the Democratic News, and am fa miliar with Philp’s handwriting. The Mo rey letter and envelope are not in his handwriting. I examine a great many manuscripts in different handwriting, and have general experience. • I am a Repub lican and iutend to vote for Garfield.” Cross-examined.—“I could not form an opinion from tho facsimile which was published. I form my opinion from the originals.” Harry Eaton was called for the defense, and testified: “I am connected with vari ous journals as a literary man. I bave read thousands of pages of Philp’s manuscript, and the Morey letter and envelope are not in his handwriting.” Cross-examined.—“I am not prepared to state the exhibit shown me is in Fillip's bandwriting, though some of the words I recognize as having been written by him. 1 am going to vote for Garfield, and also work for him.” John Munson Pratt was next called, aud testified: “I reside in this city, and I am and have been proof reader on Truth ever since it started. I ain familiar with Philp’s writing. The manuscript of the Morey letter did not pass through my hands as proof reader. The letter itself and the envelope I can state most posi tively are not in Philp’s handwriting. The manuscript of the article ‘Lying and Sticking to ItJ is in Philp’s writing, and passed through my hands. When through I placed it on file in the usual way. The manuscript after being set up is marked and retained in the office.” Cross-examined.—“I never saw the original Morey letter and envelope until I came on the witness stand. I have known Philp since December last. Tho proof of the letter passed through my hands, but not the original.” New York, October 30.—John E. Davenport then took the stand and testi fied: “lam connected with this case as connsel for the prosecution. I first saw the manuscript of the article ‘Lying and Sticking to It,’ in my office. I did not know that it was to he brought, there. It was given to me by Mr. Lorrigan, pri vate detective. He did not tell mo where he got it, nor did I pay him for it. The complaint was dictated by Mr. Stoughton.” Cross-examined—“I never attempted to steal or get possession of the Morey letter in any way. I have been in the Truth of fice but once in a month. I went there on Monday last at the request of Louis Post.” Mr. Brooke objected, and the testimony was ruled out. Peter F. Deloney was next called for the defense. He testified: “I am a jour nalist, and have kuown Philp for the past nine years, and have been associated with him. I know James McDermott, and be lieve his character for truth and veracity is bad.” Augustus Mouereck, city editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, testified: “1 know Mc Dermott, ami am an officer of a Republi can association of which he was a mem ber. Under circumstances where it would be to McDermott's interest to swear falsely, I would not believe him under oath.” Jacob Abarbonell testified: “ I am ed itor of the Family Story Paper. Philp was a contributor to that paper. I have known him five years, and am familiar with hi3 copy. Tbe Morey letter and en velope are not in his writing.” Cross-examined.—“I have never had oc casion to correct Philp’s spelling of the word‘companies.’ ” James Pearson testified: “I reside in New York, 1 am a merchant and have kuown Philp for five years. I have seen and am familiar with hi3 handwriting. The Morey letter and envelope are not in his handwriting. The manuscript of ‘Lying and Sticking to It’ is in hi3 hand writing. 1 am a Republican.” Cross-examined.—“I am in tbe furnish ing goods business. The paper yon show me, I ain of the opinion, is in Philp’s handwriting.” Brooke requested to see it, but was denied the privilege. Furman S. Nutt testified: “I live in Brooklyn.” At this point he was requested to stand aside for a moment, and Joseph B. Bab cock was called by the defense, who testi fied: *‘I am an engineer, and up to Janu ary lst,lS79,1 had resided in Lynn, Mass., for ten years. 1 know of the 'Employers’ Union.’ I do not know who was presi dent of the ‘Union.’” Cross-examined. “1 do not know who was president: I know a Mr. Shaw wa3 connected with it.” Thomas Sweitzer testified: I reside in New York; I worked in Lynn in ISOS; I have lived in Boston as late as 1878; I know there was an employers’association, but I never knew its name.” Cross-examined. *‘I was working in East Boston and heard of the association at a meeting of Crispins; I have been in the building where they met.” Mr. Hugh Frazer testified: 1-reside in New York and am employed by Mr. Mnnroe; I am familiar with Philp's writ ing; the manuscript of a novel in Philp’s handwriting has, until Friday, been in our safe for thelast two years. At this point recess was taken. After recess Jesse B. Wilson wa3 called to the stand, and testified: “I reside in Wash ington, D. C., and am 'a merchant. I know Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives John G. Thompson. I was at his office recently, and saw the re ceipts of the members of Congress for their salaries. I had previously seen a a facsimile of the Morey letter. I had a copy when Iwent there. Amoj^ the re ceipts for salary received—” This line of testimony was oh'vSted to. Brooke said he proposed to prove that these vouchers and thefac simile were sim- Iar in character, and in the opinion of the witness were written by the same hand. Judge Davi3 ruled the offer incompe tent. Mr. Brooke.—“We have sent to the ser- geant-at-arms to procure these vouchers, when the testimony will be admissible.” W. C. Colton was called, the object of his testimony being to contradict Superin tendent Gay'ler in regard to stamps in the New York post-office, but his testimony was received subject to reconsideration. Geo. Simpson, was called as an expert and said: “I examined the Morey letter in a newspaper office on Monday last. I saw the Rockwell and Jewell letters Fri day, and in my judgment tbe two latter are in tbe same handwriting as the Morey letter.” Cross-examined.—“I first saw the Mo rey letter on Monday in the Truth office. I went there of my own notion and asked for and saw a photographic copy of the letter. In my opinion, the signature and body of the Morey letter are in the same handwriting; also the envelope. In the Truth office, I was shown three signatures by ^neral Garfield, and pronounced them to be in tbe same handwriting as the Morey letter. I was paid $25 in the Truth office for n>j ser vices and then went to the office of Roch- epellar & Brierson and said that having seen the Morey letter, I was satisfied ft was written by Gen. Garfield.” Mr. How» banded witness the Rock well letter. Then cutting tbe words “I have” in the facsimile copy of the Mo rey letter in half, the upper from the low er, he asked witness to take tbe lower cut ting and place it over the lower part of the same words in the Rockwell letter. ’Vhttft he bw$ done so, he asked him if the lower . part of the two words of the fac simile did nottfit over the lower and connect with the upper half of the two words in the Rockwell letter. Tbe cutting was ruled out as not being from the original letter. Mr. Bliss cross-examined the witness, but nothing new was elicited. The case was than adjourned until Monday morning at 10 o’clock. New York, October 29.—The follow ing has been issued from the headquarters of tho Democratic National Committee: “The following is the affidavit of Clara S. Morey, cf Lynn, Mass., mother of H. T. Morey, to whom General Gfpfield is said to have written tbe famous ‘Chinese let ter 5 : “I, the undersigned, Clara S.

L. Morey, has visited me frequently from time to time until within the past eleven months, and that since I know nothing of his whereabouts. Witness my hand and seal, this 26th day of October, 1890. “Clara S.

New York, October 30.—Gen. Han-' cock yesterday received several delega-" tions representing different political, mili tary aud social organizations, among them a deputation of cloak makers from Brook lyn, who, in their address to Gen. Han cock, said: “We came here to-day to as sure you of our united support on the ap proaching election day. We are as solid as the solid South.” Gen. Hancock replied: “If the South is solid to-day it is simply solid in trying to get in harmony with the rest of the Un ion. Wcshail find out how solid it is af ter next Taesday. Ii the Democratic party should succoed, it will become naturally divided upon federal as well as local is- , sues, and its solidity in the Sontli will be broken. The colored race will side with the several factions,each of which will see that their colored adherents suffer no ob struction in voting. In this way one of the hoped for results of the war will be. fully attained. ■ ’“Much of the prosperity now enjoypd by the North is due to purchases of Southern merchants who, last season, bought goods to an extent unparalleled since the war. This was due to the great cotton crop of the period and to a desire of Southern people to claim affiliation with the North and purchase its manufactured products, . instead of sending to foreign countries for them, thereby creating business for for eign lines of steamships. We have now ' an opportunity to settle all questions aris ing out of the late strife by an exercise of charity, good will and brotherly feeliDg, which it is to the interest of the Northern people not to disregard.” The largest delegation of the day was composed of members of the Beilevue Medical College. Their chairman, Dr. Montgomery, said they had called cn Gen.. Hancock to assure him that they were wide-awake as to the issues to be decided at the polls next Tuesday and, being thus wide-awake, would cast their votes for him. ■“lam very glad to see, from your pres ence here,” responded the General, “ you take an interest in the defense of our institutions, the welfare of the country, and in the preservation of constitutional government. Your best efforts should be directed toward maintaining the purity of the ballot-box. In doing so, yon will take the best steps towards conserving your liberties. It is therefore of the highest importance to see if yon cannot compel the office-holders now in power to relin quish their seats. If you do not unseat them now, you may never be able to do so. If successful in your attempt, an ex amination of tbe books of the several government departments would necessa rily follow, and if the present incumbents should have been true to their trusts, the country may at a future period reinstate them. When we examine the books of an es tablishment we naturally do not use the bookkeepers who made the entries, bnt employ experts. This'course should be adopted in connection with government accounts. In ordinary periods, when ex penses are comparatively light, people may not think a change of officials neces sary; but in a great war such as we have had, since which time one party only has held office, and has had control of mil lions of money, it is well to have an ex amination of the books and of public roperty, to ascertain if we really have what we are represented to have. This s the duty of tne hour.” From Despair to Gladness. Mr. Giles Carter, a well-known citizen of Rochester, N. Y., has just given the following card to the public I For about two years my wife has been troubled with something, and eve could not imagine what; she had frequent flushes of heat, followed by severe sweats,-both night and day; her back troubled ber a gaeat deal, ancl any exertion seemed to utterly pros trate her. She drank large quantities of water without seeming to quench her thirst in the least, and getting worse and worse all the time. \Ve employed the services of a physic!ao, bnt without bene fit, not even learning what was the matter with her. Finally, noticing a peculiarity in her urine, I had it examined, and by boiling reduced it to molasses, about half in quantity to the amount of water used. I at once wrote to her brother, a physician in the East, who pronounced it “sugar” or (saccharine) diabetes. He said he knew of no cure foi it, aud that she probably could not get well; that she might live for a few years, but would get worse all the time. At this time, and when we were in de spair, I saw Warner’s Safe Diabetes Cure advertised, purchased a bottle aud my wife has continued using it until she is now perfectly cured and as well as she has been iu years. I consider Warner’s Safe Diabetes Cure a blessing and boon to humanity. oct26-2w j Messrs. Lamar, Rankin A Lamar, Macon, Ga.: Please send me by expresa another bottle of Brewer’s Lung Restorer, it is helping me right along, and I think it will cure me. Yours respectfully. Sam’l E. B.
