Wendell Phillip Trie II ! Hand at
hotoirrnitliv-llla Opinion of Ueueral
Phillips in the Ami S'avary Standard of to
(lay, 8BJBS
In 1804, wben Lincoln was nom'nated, we
made an earnest ellort to rally a third party
made the etrort, atd still eaieem it evidence ot
utee patriotism, lhe re-election ol Mr. Lincoln
was a grave mistake, from tho worst conse
quences of which a kind Providence taved us by
fiisdeatb. ,
Our eflort and protest In 1804 were vain. As
reeled and vain now, it seems to us, would be
any effort to organize a third party. And there
are some reasons which render it largely, it not
wholly, iStincceeearv. In 1864 the masses were
pot by any means ulive to tne duty of the hour.
Heady for auy step, they bad no definite Idea
what step was netded. Further, they leaned
with lar too much trust on Mr. Lincoln's sup
posed states niambip and honesty.
How the case is oitlerent. The people have
been largely educated to the Nttiou's necessity
acd duty, and do not even affect to put off any
b8re of It on the shoulders of Grant, or fancy
that he can or will lead anyb dy, or in anything.
They see in him a tool, not a leader.
Faulty and detective a tne Republican party
Is, still it holds In Us h.mds our only chance of
afe'y. It is a party without principles or
leader". Us scldub men cannot lead It; and its
Lneet men will not follow. But, spue of all
this, it cither has within its rank, or repre
sents, the loyal masses of the nation. They
have chosen It lor their instrument. Success,
Hit come at all, during this generation, must
come through its help. Whether one-halt the
legitimate results of the war shall be loat or
caved depends on this Presidenlial election.
Our latest criticism on the Republican party
is that they, by sheer incapacity, have put the
peaebment failed it was madness to coon and
admit the Rebel States to their old places.
Without land, without arms, with but little
organization, the loyal vote lies at the
mn-cy of Rebels. Go to Lowell and announce
that whoever votes the Democratic ticket will
be discharged from the mills, ho.v nianv will
risk sutlerinj to support their principles?' The
negro not only risks starvation, but walks to
the ballot-box with a pistol at his breast. It in
such circumstances he stands by the flag we
shall henceforth maintain that the black race is
superior to our own there is uo paee in Ameri
can or English history which records a civil
riebt maintained by the masses under such
fearful conditions. Congress betrayed its trust
when it subjected the nation to such peril. Tne
members proved themsplves thoroughly In
capable or dishonest, when they adjouraed in
the presence of such a danger. Sull the heart
of the nation beats in the Republican parly, and
everv loyal man must hope and work lor us suc
cess in this canvass.
We have little confidence in Grant. The best
thins about him is that he seems desirous to
execute the Nation's will, lie is no traitor lise
John on, neither has he any statesmanlike com
prehension of the hour. We fear he belongs
more to Morgan, Conkling, and Howard than to
Bumner and Wade. He was drunk ru the public
Bt 'eeis since the first day of January. This is a
fact as patent as the sun at noonday; none but
those too dishonest to be trusted with public
Journals (bats passintr themselves off for owls)
deny it. He is a Went-Pom t graduate with his
sympathies all in the wrong direction. He
has just been through a war which was
God's command to one race to do Justice
to another a war whose root was slavery and
Who-e fruit was freedom. Yet ot tne halt-dozen
catcb-wordstbattbeNatiou has extorted from his
lips, not one has any relation to liberty. The
mottoes he has lent to politics, or history, are
such as a bull-dog might have growled forth.
A nation battling lor an idea takes tor its leader
a man confessedly destitute of idea3. A st ut
soldier, an honest almtuistrative officer but
bad the nation been made up ot Grants, there
never would have been an anti-slavery enter
prise,' an emancipation proclamation, any
'North or any South." France might as well
have taken Muiat for her Napoleou, or England
pat Roebuck in Peel's place. Our King Log is
not imposed upon us; we select him oursolves.
Nevertheless he is but a ehillow and short
sighted critic who sees only Grant before him.
Grant is only the almost invisible point of the
broad, and everyday broadeulng, mass of purpose
and resolve and neceshity behind htm. Though
the nation Las not been lilted to the full com
prehension of its own work, it builds determi
nate, by instinct, as It were. It cannot com
jrebend, much more accept, a principle. It
p ropes half in light, bait in darkness; has found
cnt FessendcL's lncanacitv. but still hugi the
delusion of his honesty. Like Milton's lion, it,
Has not wnoiiy emcrgea into snape, 01 ...icvi
'its hinder parts." But its purpose is clear and
full over no matter how many prejudices it
it will put beyond contingency the nation aud
leave it nothing to blush for whea it stands In
the sisterhood ot Christeudom.
We must accept tu hour, not force it. Grant's
election means ptoeress. We hope it means the
Iron hand of a 1ut Government laid relentlessly
on Rebels. We hoped to see at last a lover of
liberty in tho White House, one who loved and
underbtood what Lincoln only submitted to.
If we cannot have that, give us at least a con
stable who will remorselessly execute the laws.
Ten days alter such a will is recognized at the
White House, Wade Hampton, Alexander Ste
phens, Forrest, Toombs, Cobb, and Seymour
will slink like whipped spaniels to their ken
nels. Grant's friends understand so little the
epoch they live in that their most lavish false
hood never claims for him anything which fits
him for a leader in such an hour. Pope said:
'Feign what crime you will, and paint It e're so
strong,
Soma rising genius stns op to your song."
But Grant's friends have not fancy and under
standing of the hour enough to lift him up to its
need. But let him show in the White House
even the wholesome camp discipline they claim
for him, and by the orst day of next April a
negro will walk a hundred miles, even in Ken
tucky, to find enough specimens of Ku-Klux to
furifsn the museums of the curiom. All this
blood and rage Is the ch id of co vardice, and
will vanish qu'ckly into thin air, as it did in
New Orleans when the grim and resolute Yankee
laid his unfaltering band on the helm. None so
thorough coward as the bully.
Hence we baiV Maine and Vermont as day
stars of hope, blo pray that other States may
come up and bettter the instruction.
The Immediate issue now, as in 1861, is
Whether tlie nation shall survive. Seymour's
succefs means another chance for secession.
Grant's election melts the millions into one in
dissoluble whole; cilling us to stamp on it
what legend Mod wills. As in 1861, the nation
now can be saved only as a nation of justice and
liberty. To his amazement Lincoln lound him
self the emancipator ot the slave. To his equal
amazement Grant will find himself borne up
and on to be the shield of the negro. We said,
in November, 1800, "for the first time in our
history the tlave has elected a President." The
first day of January, 18C3, justified the assertion.
It. which mat Gd grant, this November sends
Grant to tho White House, we shall say the
gro has elected his President" may the
future jusuly us as amply.

ITALY.
Midday AHSHNsInation.
It has beet officially announced in Florence
that a fever b'ow has at last been struck at the
bricands, and that Guerra. one of the moat for
midable of the chiefs who have so long set both
a witt WjU kJ.uiy UViii.v, itus beta kulcJ,
as well as another chief named Ciccone and a
number ot their followers. Guerra is reported
to have fallen in single oombat with an Italian
officer, who himself was wounded by the bandit.
In the Romsgna the state of things continues
very bad. M. Krdan lately wrote that on the
24th ol August there were in the streets of
Facnza assassinations, one of them right In
front of the barracks. Of course, nobody had
seen anything or bad the loat notion who the
murderers were. In the same letter he wrote:
"Yesterday, on the square of the Ministry of
Public Instruction, In Florence, in broad day, a
lad of twenty walked up to another lad of seven
teen and drove a knife right into his heart. The
victim fell a cor p-o. The passers-by seized toe
assassin, and as tbey were handling him rather
roughly, 'lie vvglio esser risptttatoP ho indig
nantly exclaimed, JVow ho rubato io!" (I
will be respected; I am' not a thief.)
One of the last crimfs committed hereabouts
had a peculiar character. Two young men
bad bad a qnarrel, but had made It up again.
A week later they met in the market-place.
One of them passed bis arms affectionately
round the reek ol tbe other, and pinched his
chin playfully with one haud, while with the
otber be stabbed Mm and killed him on the
spot made him cold, literally to translate the
Italian freddare. It is a curious thing ibt all
the papers use that word in their accounts of
the murder. To freddare people, which Bounds
like cutthroat's slang, is here a received word,
found in literature. Gibbon somewhere says
that the nature of a people may be judged by
studying the moral composition of its words la
common use. It would be easy to compile a
small dictionary of the words current in Italian
journalism which imply immaturity of the moral
sense."
A correspondent says:' M. Erdan Is a keen
observer, and few men know lUly better, or
have a juner appreciation of the character of
its people."
FORREST.
Uo Denies any Knowledge of the Ku
Jilux lilan,
Msmphis, Tenn., Sept. 10. Mr. P. M Henkel,
Warsaw, Indiana Dear Hir: Yours of the 5ih
instant is before me, asking if a letter written
to the Cincinnati Commercial, purporting to be
the conversation held with me by the corres
pondent of that paper, is correct. 1 was m is
le ores en ted by that corresoondent in nearly
everything he wrote. I had' only a street con
versation with him at most not more than live
minutes. He has in his letter adopted ques
tions and answers to suit the paper or himself,
without- my cousent, or wholly or entirely
foreign to my political views. I will allow no
man to go further to sustain law and order than
myself. As to Ku-Klux Ulan, I know nothing
about them, and have never stated to any per
son that I did know. I will send the correc
tions the correspondent has male since his
letter was written. He misrepresented me for
political effect, and nothing else. He has
written another letter from, this place, pnr-
Eorting to he written from Fort Pillow. He
as never been at Fort Pillow, and I have not
been there since 1867, when I visited the place
to make a map for my book.
I am willing to make any sacrifice, save my
honor, to relieve my State and its oppressed
citizens from the radical rule that is destroying
their prosperity and happiness. If your people
only knew one-half the oppression we have to
endure, I am confident they would come to our
relief by voting for Seymour and Blair, and
giving us peace and liberty, Our radical Legis
lature and officials, and negro magistrates, are
weighing us down with heavy taxes, and so
squandering and misapplying, as well a . stealing
our substance, that we shall not be able to stand
it much longer. Patience has been long since
exhausted: but. in the fullness of the hone for a
lasting and prosperous peace, and a returu of
our Northern friends to reason and a due appre
ciation of nnr common interest, wa huso
endured, and fetill endure, even alter patience
has been exhausted. Yoara, respectfully,
JN. IS. I'OBREST.
Forrest's Itntcliery Renfflnued.
A Decatur (Ala.) correspondent of theN. Y.
Tribune say, on tho 10 instj:
In reading tbe extracts printed in reference to
General Forrest's butchery at Fort Pillow, I
could not help observing the wide contrast be
tween the account given for publication in the
radical papers of the North, aud the very short
uccoum ui ii l uuu iii luy uraij, pivt-u uy ireu.
Forrest in my presence, while he was on bis wiy
to tpeak at a Democratic mass meeting. The
General, no doubt, supposed all to be his lriends,
and, with the exception of myself, probably all
were. I supposed at tbe time, and do vet, that
the story told then was about as near the truth
as the General would ever be able to tell it, so I
immediately made note of it. I did not at the
time intend it for publication, bat now deem it
wrong to withhold it lrom tbe public.
As 1 approached tbe crowd tbe uenerai was
SDcakins of the animosltv existing between his
men and certain Tennessee troops,-and the way
tbey treated each other when prisoners. "But,''
said he, "we were not bothered with them alter
the capture of Fort Pillow. We about finished
tbf m there." Here the General paused and
appeared to look Bad; then raisinghis bead said.
"The boys curse me jet about that." One ot
the party then asked bow it was about that
anair. inn uenerai origntening up, quicKiy
replied, I just thought, God d d you, you've
bad one cuance to surrender, now oy u a you
can nut uo with what you get. and they got
about what they deserved." A general laugh
now followed, but at this time I turned away in
disgust, hoping it would never again be my lot
to bear such a heartless remark so neartiiy applauded.
BUTLER.
Opposition to Ills It-Election.
The following call for a Convention to meet in
Salem, Mass., is being circulated in the various
towns of the Massachusetts Fifth Congressional
District, now represented by General B. F. But
ler, and it is said, has alieady received many
signatures:
To tbe Electors of the Fifth Congressional
District of Massachusetts: The election ot u
member of Congress from this district is near at
hand. The present incumbent, General Benja
min F. Butler, has formally aunounced himself
a candidate (or re-election. He asks your votes,
"if the people ot tbe district think he has faitu
fully and earnestly served them" making his
own record his only platform. He does not
allude to tbe action of a District Convention,
and it is generally understood that he will baa
candidate, whether regularly nominated or not.
He thus appeals to you tor an endorsement of
bis whole course in Cougress. Every one who
votes for him in eflect sanctions his course, and
encourages blra to pursue it. Tbe under
signed, true to the principles of
the Eepubliean party, and heartily
Supporting the candidates nominated at
Chicago and Worcester, cannot consiitently
support or vote lor General Butler, and with
them opposition to his election is fealty to the
principles and tbe candidates of tbe Republican
party. We take his reeord as be has made it,
aud are not to be ioflueuced by profession
made on the eve of the election. We do not
auree with him in bis fiaancial schemes, aud so
far from regarding them as important, we deem
them fatal to the national credit and tbe
national honor. His well-known opposition to
General Grant upon personal grounds rsnders
him unfit to be a hearty supporter ot his adinin-i-tratlon,
and we prefer to send fo tho next
Conrrees a warm, unquestioned friend of Gene
ral Grant raiber than a bitter and persistent
entmy.
Here follows the appointment of the Conven
tion and tbe lace aud time ot aeeinbling.

BLAIR.
II Warmly Maintains the Illesralltjr of
Congressional Reconstruction.
The New York Sun has the following report of
a carious and important conversation:
A well-known aenlleman of ibis city was con
vening with General F. P. Blair, Jr., not long
since, upon the power of Congress to reconstruct
tbe South. General Blair warmly maintained
that the Reconstruction laws were unconstitu
tional, and that there was no authority in tbe
National Government to endow negroes with the
elective franchise in the conquered States.
"You are mistaken," said his friend; "tbe
Supreme Court has fully dccldec the question in
favor of the power exercised by Congress."
"How so?" asked the General. "I never
heard of any such decision."
"I will give you the poiots," was the answer.
"11. The Supreme Court has decided that tbe
National Government has tbe same rights and
powers as regards the Stages lately in Rebellion,
as it would have toward Stales or Territories
conquered In war with a foreign power.
"11. The Supreme Court decided years aso
that in New Mexico, which we bad just then
conquered In the war with Mexico, tbe orders
of General Kearney, the Military Governor of
that Territory, bad all tne force ol law and
must be obeyed as sue h.
"III. Among the:e orders of Oenerl Kearney,
in New Mexico, was a code of laws which he
promulgated tome time about 1847, by which,
the right of suffrage was conferred upon all
males of lawful age, without dmincti in of color,
nigroea Included.
"IV. This code, which was thus imposed on
New Mexico, by the military power, the Supreme
Court decided to be the rightiul la of the Ter
ritory, until it should be set aside by express act
of Congress.
' V. The apparent author of this negro suf
rage code was Francis P. bUir, Jr., whoe name
was attached to it as Attoruey-Ueneral of the
Terri oaj."
"That's true," responded General B'a'r, ubut
I didn't supposed auy d d black Repuolluan
knew it."
THE FASHION'S.
From Le Follet.
Alports of gay colors are continually worn,
and tbe contrast of the various shades gives our
toilets an almost Oriental appearance. I have
seen material with pale told and purple
stripes, lor instance, which looked exceedingly
pretty. The tunic was looped back en pn pr-i,
out uulcolorcd, while the lint ot Iialiau straw
bad small clusters of of cherries, scattered in a
most original manner, for ornament. Almost
evtry tunic assumes now-a days the form of a
square or rounded aprou in front and ot
panlers behind more or less looped up. For lull
dress toilets next winter this description of cos
tumes will be worn altogether. Tbe style for
winter hats is also torecasting its shadow
already. As might have been expected, thay
will have high crowns, xbe principal orna
ments will be puffs, feather.', and aigrets This
style of bead dress will be admirably adapted for
tbe costumes ol the Louis XV aud Louis XVI
age, which are so far from going oat ot fa-hion
as to become still more complete, and powder
aud beauty-spots are seriously spoken of. In
tbe meantime, the fashion of head-dresses is
mixed neither high nor low. Flat chignons
on tbe head, small hats with Hat caps, narrow
faochounettes with flower pulls, are all the
rage. To return to costumes. I have seen a
very pretty one on the beach of Trouville. A
round skirt of silver gray Mexican silk hid a
high flounce and a fold of scarabee taffeta for
ornament; an apron of the same material was
bordered with a small flounce and a fold ol sca
rabee taffeta at the top. What was visible at the
tbe back part of the skirt looked very original
on accouut of a knot of a scarabee sash being
fastened to it, while the sleeves ot tuo dress
were half tight-fitting and ended in a puffing of
the same material as the arets. xne toqu'jt of
very tine silver grey straw was bordered wilh
scarabee satin. The somewhat high cap had a
lustre of ecrabee feathers for ornament which
fell gracefully down ou oue side over the ring
lets of tbe chignon, which had been put very
high on the back part of tue head. AnotLer
not less original costume was made ot green
g laced silk, the lower, skirt had piping of
flounces placed below at certain distances irorn
euch other, while tho upper skirt looped
back in three panlers repeated the
same trimming on a smaller scale.
Tbe waUt was cut square in front, aud
completed by a Marie Antoinette mantalet,
knotted on the cheat by a Paoillon knot, and
ialiing down over the sides so as to become fast
ened behind at the top of the skirt a lew centi
metres lower than tbe waist. This mantelet is
bordered by pipings at certain distances, and,
moreover, ornamented with micro-copic knots,
visible on tne intervals left by tho pipings. A
splendid dinner costume has just beeu finished
tor tbe Marquise of V. It is a vapory skirt of
white gauze held up en paniera in a very original
manner, over a turkois blue transparent by a
large tuikois blue sash. Tbe waist is cut low
and square, and has very rich wide lace, fast
ened by turkois clasps ad around the shoulders.
I am at a loss what to say of linen wear, Bon
nets always keep the fauchon or the Catalan
style, ana on ly vary in tne styie ot corners.
The most becoming is a Catalan bonnet of em
broidered muslin. A ribbon, corresponding iu
shade to the toilet, forms a square which indi
cates the top of the head, and tal'.s down under
the cbignon which it halt covers. Small knots
of embroidered rrftiolin and of ribbon form the
front of the bonnet, while two long ribbons
float behind. Another pattern is thegulpur
fanchon. Tho iront of tbe bonnet is looped
bajk over the top of tho head in two points
bordered by a narrow ribbon. A flounce of
guipure terves as, ornament for the back part,
and extends in fl ips fastened under the chiu by
ncn guipure lace covering a Knot oi riDiiou.

Tue Ex-Governor Hauls the Democracy
over tlie Coal.
From the 81. Paul Minn.) Prest Sept. 19.
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, who Is now
in this city, has been giving some ol tbe leading
Democrats here a piece of bis mind qathe bung
ling way the Democracy -have been managing
mutters of late. To one of them, who was a
deleeate to the Tammany Convention, he said
that tbe nominations of Sejmour and Blair were
both great mistakes. Seymour, becaue he
represented impracticable a. id obsolete ideas,
aud Blair on account of his revolutionary letter.
Betide?, Blair was a military man, and the
Democracy set oat with the idea of having a
great civilian statesman, and they should bavo
been consistent iu thit idea. Pendleton was
equally objectionable on account of his identity
with old worn-out policies. If the Demo
cracy had nominated "Chase, the Governor
said his name, so long Identified with
tbe abolition ot slavery, would have
enabled the Democracy to carry every Southern
State. Now, they might possibly carry Georgia
aud Aliibama the rest would all go for Grant.
He furtbtr said that It was a great mistake for
the Southern Democr icy to insist on being re
presented io tbe Convention: that the crowd of
Confederate Generals thero had a bad effect on
the pubi c opinion of the North, and a bad
influence on tbe Convention. Wade Hampton,
for instHnce, whom he spoke of in high terms,
bad C'ime home, and publicly stated that he had
procured the ineriiou in the platform ol the
declaration that "tho Reconstruction acts were
usurpations, unconstitutional, revolutionary,
and void," and so lhe Confederate element in
the Convention openly arrayed itself aaalnst
Northern sentiment, aud reopened all tbe old
issnes. Much fensiolo tttlt of tbe same kind
the wise and patriotio old Governor aldrosed
to his hard-headed friecd, but with as little
practical effect, we fear, as his sagacious counsels
to bis headstrong brethren in South Carolina.
We learn tnat Governor Orr has just been ap
pointed a circuit jude-e In South Carolina, but
that he has determined to take up u!s residence
In 81. Joseph, Mo., In order to resume the prac
tice of bis profession under more lavorable
auspices than tbe disturbed condition of affairs
in fcoulh Carolina admits of.
GE0RG1A
An Address to the Colored Voters.
Thi following is being extensively circulated
in Georgia:
, COLORED VOTERS, READ THISt
First. Who turned colored members out of
tbe Legislature?
1. Democrats are telling It in many places that
the Republicans turned them out. It is not so.
The falsehood of their statements Is plain from
tbe following tacts: .
(1.) Hepoblicans made the colored people
free. Mr. Lincoln was a Republican. When he
was President, he issued too first proclamation
of fieedom. General Grant is a Republican.
He conquered the Rebel, and gave effect to
the proclamation of Mr. Lincoln.
(2.) A Republican Congress passed the laws
caning a Convention and giving the right to the
colored people to vote. Other acts of Congress
made them citizens and gave them civil rights.
(3.) Tbe Convention which male the Consti
tution wi composed mostly of Republican,
and colored persons were allowed to hold seats
in that Convention and assist in making the
Constitution.
(4.) Tbe Constitution thus framed does give
colored people the right to hold office. It was
made so on purpose by the Republicans who
made it. During the canvass tor its ratification
Democrats said it did give colored people the
tiuht to hold office. For this reason they spoke
nd voted against it.
2. Democrats turned the colored members out
of the Legislature.
(1.) A Democrat from Randolph county, who
was elected chiefly by colored voter, offered the
first resolution to turn them out. Tbe recolu
tion on which they were turned out waa offered
by a Democrat of Houston county, who was
elected by colored vo'er.
(2.) Tbeieweie81 members of the House of
Representatives who voted to turn out the
colored members. They were all Democrats
except four.
The Democrats arc trying to Impose upon tho
igtorant colored people by telhug them that
tbe Republicans turned the colored members
out of the Legislature. The resolutions in both
Houses were ottered by Democrats. Not one
Democrat voted in favor of retaining tbe
colored members in their seats. Yet, the De
mocrats say there was a majority of Republicans
in tbe Legislature. Tnat Is true as to the
Senate, but not as to the House. Refusing to
let the colored members vote, and a few Repub
licans voting with tbe Democrats, they got a
lartre malority in both Houses. This shows thai
tho Demociats are determined that colored mon
shall not hold oilico if they can prevent them.
Thud. For what reason did the Democrats
turn them out?
1. Not because they had commute! any crime.
2. Not because the Constitution forbade their
holding office; but
'I. Because they were free persons of co!or.
Democrats pre against colored persons enjoying
their rights because of the color of their skinl
Fourth. What is the remedy?
Elect General Grant, and all will be well. If
he is elected, tbe colored men excluded will be
restored to their seat. It feejmour is elected
tbey will not be restored, but tbe Democrats
will go on in their revolutionary measures until
they have stripped colored people of all their
constitutional rights, and reduced them to a
condition as bad, if not worse, than slavery.
Colored voters, to the rescue! You owe It to
yourselves, to your wives, to your children, to
jour whole race and your country, to rally to a
man around the standard of Grant and Colfax,
and to vote for no candidate for any office but
the regular nominees ot the Repnblican party.
COZiOI6A.Z0.
The Repnblican Ticket Still Ahead.
Tbe Rocky Mountain Jfewa of September 17,
which is later by three days than the advices
recently paraded in the Democratic journals
ot the East, has a table of the recent vote for
Delegate to Congress iu Colorado, which foots
up as iollows:
Bradford's (Rep.) maloritles . . . 6G3
Beiden's (Dcm.) majorities ... 580
Bradford's net majority ... 83
Tbe New York Tribune of this morning says,
editorially:
"We reproduce elsewhere the latest returns
from Colorado. One prcclnrt (Lake) is missing.
Allowing the Rebel candidate for Delegate 240
majority in Huerfauo county, which outnumbers
the legal voters of the whole county, Bradford
(Rep.) has carried the Territory with a surplus
ot 82 votes. The Rebels are at their tricks, and
are endeavoring to throw out two Bradford pre
cincts under the plea that a survey ot the Terri
tory, made since tbe election was ordered,
plHces them la New Mexico. It is not certain
that this move could cheat Bradford of hU elec
tion, and if this fails possibly some other scheme
may be tried L"

Smith had been associated with him as counsel,
and the Court admitted him. Mr. Thurston

finished It at tbe adjournment. Yesterday

paper from the Hon. Horatio Rogers, the legally
appointed adviser of the Court, setting iorth
that his opinion was not asked on the question
of the admission of Rev. J. Colton Smith as

The Court refused to reconsider tbe decision,
and Rev. J.C.Smith continues as one of the
counsel for Mr. Hubbard. The argument of
Mr. Thurston was continued, without closing.
The Court adjourned till this morning.
