the Oneida
from the Ulioa IfiTnld, Sept. 28.
On the occasion of the viblt of the Democratic
State Commute to this city In July l'ist. aud of
Horatio Bejirmnr's taking up his headquarter
tthe Buttei held House, a serenade was given
them by a few soldiers of our city, and Mr. Sey
mour made a brlrf speech. He addressed them
as "Bolalers of Oneida county," and said: "I
aw your regiment as they went forth to war:
their ranks were filled wiih men in the vinor
and prime of manhood. It was my official
privilege to thank them, in the name of the
fctate, when they returned with thinned ranks
and torn banners," etc. We propose to show
how much "be saw" of the Oneida soldiers
"as they went forth." and to what extent he
availed himself of his "otiicial privilege to thank
them" when they returned.
Five regiments in all were raised in Oneida
tounty, which freely sent forth her sons to fight
in defense of the Constitution and the Union,
and tor the preservation of our national eiiat
uoe. The 14th was organized at Albany, in
May, 18C1, under the State law, and the 26th at
Klrairs, a few days alter, Both regiments con
tained companies from other counties, but they
were mainly made up with men from Oneida
county. We are not aware that Mr. Seymour
put himself to any trouble to see either of these
two regiments otf, or that he spoke to them one
word of farewell.
In April, 1861, a meetlnir of the citizens of
TJWca was called, without distinction of party,
to aid the families of such as should volunteer.
Horatio Seymour was not present, nor was any
thing heard from him, thoaRh large contribu
tions were made, amounting to nearly $20,000,
and distributed by the committee appointed for
tftat purpose. John F. Seymour (Horatio's
brother) was a member of the Committee of
Distribution, and as such wrote a letter to Mr.
0. B. Mattison, who was absent, and received a
contribution oi $1000 In reply. Did he write to
Horatio? If so, it is not known that he ever
responded. Yet. at that meeting were carmen,
truckmen, laborers, and mechanics, who put
their names down for sains ranging from $5
wpwards. Judge Bacon, who was present, not
only contributed liberally in money, but
gave his only son as a private to the cause of
the Union. That son returned to him a corpse,
having fallen in battle while gallantly nllinR the
office of Adjutant of the Twenty-sixth Begl
ment, to which his owu menu bad elevated
aim. Horatio Seymour did not contribute a
dollar to that fund. At a public meeting held
at the City Hall, in 1862, for the purpose of con
sidering the subject of raising bounties, he sub
scribed $200, with the understanding that it
would not be collected if the county consented
to pay the bounties. The county did so conseut,
and the $200 were never called tor.
For some unkuown and Inexplicable reason
Mr. Seymour was appointed Chairman of the
Keeruiting Committee of Oneida couuty, in
1862, by Governor Morgan. He had done
thing to entitle him to the honor or recom
mend him to the position, while others who had
beea active in raising troops, and bad always
supported the Government by word and
deed, felt hurt by this unflt appointment.
Mr.BStymour met bat few times with
the Committee, and neither said nor did
anything worthy of record. Two regiments,
the 117th and 146th, were raised by this Com
mittee. Mr. Seymour was not present when
they ware mustered in, nor did he speak a single
parting word to either of them. The parting
address to the 117th was delivered in this city
by Judge Bacon. No words of parting or cheer
were spoken to the 116th, they leaving Borne so
suddenly and passing through our city so hur
riedly as to not permit of that tribute of kind
ness and respect. Their commandant, Colonel
Uarrard, when they were mustered in, was in
troduced to them by JuJge Bacon.
The 14th and 26th Regiments retnrned from
the scene of war in May, 1863. They did noble
service in the field, and same home with thinned
ranks, covered with glory and crowned with
laurels. They went out with full ranks. The
14th returned with 340 to be permanently mus
tered out, and the 26th with 350; and this not
withstanding the ranks of both had been
largely recruited. They reached our city on
the 20th of May, 18S3, and our citizens
turned out to receive them In a manner
somewhat commensurate with their merits
and suitable to the momentous and welcome
ooeaaion ot their return. Triumphal arches,
decorated with flowers, and covered with patriotic
and appropriate mottoes, were erected across
our streets, and choirs of singers were sta
tioned on these arches to sing songs of glad
welcome. It was a proud day For Uiica, whose
citizens and those of the surrounding country
had assembled en masse to do honor to the
brave. The scarred and war-worn veterans
bore their tattered and bullet-riddled colors
proudly aloft, and their martial bearing and
smiling faces sent a thrill to the heart of every
admirer of heroic patriotism.
The Committee of Keceptlon, of which the
Bon. Alrlcu Hubbell was the efficient cbairinau.
had made every necessary preparation for all
who wished to welcome Oneida's returning sons.
In the procession was a place allotted toGJv
rnor Seymour and his staff, to whom an invi
tation was extended to participate In the cere
monies; but they were neither present nor rep
resented on that occasion, nor did the Commit
tee receive any reply to their Invitation. A tew
words were addressed to tne 14th, as they
passed through Albany, by Governor Seymour,
who received the tattered flag which, when new
and bright, was presented to the regiment by
Oovernor Morgan. These are the only words
that we are aware of his ever having addressed
to an Oneida regiment. The 14th was welcomed
to our city by the Hon. Ward Hunt, aud the
26th by the Hon. C. H. Doollttle, both of whom
delivered pertinent and eloquent speeches.
In the battle of the Wilderness, in 1864, the
14th Regiment, then in General Wadsworth's
Division, lost heavily. Bo'.h Colonel Jenkins
and Lieutenant-Colonel Curran were killed.
The command devolved upon Major Grindley,
who gallantly led his regiment through all the
subsequent battles, goon after, Governor Sey
mour filled the vacancy caused by the death of
the lamented Colonel Jenkins, not by promoting
the officers of the regiment in line, but by com
missioning the son ot Bishop Potter over all the
heroic sons ot Oneida county. But the insult
was so palpable, aud the outrage so gross, that
Mr. Potter's own sense of propriety prevented
his ever joining the regiment, and Immediately
after the inauguration of Governor Fenton in
IW6, SeBator Campbell. Mr. G. B. Anderson, and
others, applied to the Governor to have the stain
removed and the wrong redressed the insult,
however, could not be wiped out. Mr. Potter's
commission was accordingly revoked, and the
efficient and gallant Grindley was appointed in
his place.
The patriotic General Wheclock, of Boonvllle,
In the winter of 1862, spent nearly half his pri
vate fortune In raising a regiment for the de
fense of the liberties of bis country. It was
known as the 97th, and did honor ou the battlet
field to Itself, Its originator, and to the country.
Yet, in the winter ot 1866, when the corpse of
General Wheeluck was brought home for inter
went, Horatio Seymour was not among the
mourners, nor amonn the thousands who assem
bled to pay their respects to the memory of the
dead patriot, nor did he contribute one cent to
assist in delisting the expenses of that solemn
occasion.
vAn?-now' ,ew ords as to the reception of
the 117th, 97th, and 146th lieglments. Acorn
i?itt ?2 o'fanteed to receive them, and of
his the Hon. Alrick Hubbell was also made
ohainnan. .When U was announced that the
117th were coming, notices were sent to and
read la all the churchu of the city that Sunday
Morulas, requesting the congre -rations to meet
hem with provisions, at the depot, at 4 o'clock.
Wieyall cordially responded, Horatio Seymour's
Ahorch with the rest, It is believed he was in
,Xi church when the notice was read, bat it is
1, wwn be wss not present at the depot to wel
come the returning 117th. The welcoming ad
4i delivered by Senator Conkliug.
Boon aner, the 07th wss received at Chancel
lor Sqnare, where the Kev. Dr. Cox welcomed
them in an able and appropriate address,
llorstlo Seymour was not there.
A little later, the 146th was received by our
citizens in the same fquare, on which occasion
the address of welcome was delivered by Judge
Bacon. But Horatio Brymourdlduot honor the
regiment with bis presence.
Such is a brief glance at Horatio Seymour's
war record as far as the live Oneida county regi
ments were concerned. We believe we state a
lactwbcnwe say that he never contributed a
cent towards defraying the expenses of any of
the five regiments which went forth from his
own connty, snd thst he was never officially
connected with any movements or preparations
lor their reception, nor did he even countenance
such proceedings by his presence. This Is the
wav he "eaw our n-gimcnts eo forth," and this
Is "the way he used his "official privilege to
thank them" on their return. It makes the
heart ache and the check kindle with a blush of
shame to contemplate the mortifying delin
quencies and shocking eclf-assurauco ot Horatio
Seymour.
"BE A UTIFUL FOREVER."
The On of Mndnme Rneliel and the
Itontl Mreet Myaterjr In Iiomlon.
A correspondent writes as follows to the New
York World:
London, Sept. 2G. Voor old Madame Rachel
has gene up at latt. I went down to the Old
Bailey on Friday to hear the summing op of tho
case, and by a judicious use of the omnipotent
talisman which does so many things which appear
Impossible, I obtained a seat where, in the words
of one of the Corsican Brothers, "I not only
heard ell, but saw all." The rrguments of the
counsel were very interesting, and the summing
up of the Judge was somewhat better than the
famous charge of Mr. Justice Stareleigh; but
the last eventlul scene of this sad history was
very palntnl. The old woman fainted when she
heard herself condemned to live years' imprison
ment, and was carried out of the dock Insensible,
while the astonishment and grief of two of her
daughters were painful to witness. 1 do not
think that with the same evidence an Ameri
can jury would have condemned the ac
cused. The case was a very nasty one. and
it was plain that of the two women Mrs. Borro
dalle was really the worst. No doubt she had
lost all her money, but she certainly deserved
to lose it, and it is by no means certain that
Rachel got all of it. Mrs. Borrodaile's testimony
would tcarcelv have been accepted as true by
an American jury, enlightened with the wisdom
of a first-rate criminal lawyer, and one of her
witnesses was unmistakably a perjured one. He
was a boy, who pretended to have written down
in a memorandum book certain conversations
which be overheard many months ago, and
when the book was produced it was found to
contain not merely memoranda, but the whole
ot the story which the jury bad just heard the
prisoaer repeat, as if he had lust learned it by
rote. Mr. Digby Seymour, Rachel's leadiug
counsel, is a very goad lawyer, but he failed to
get his client off, which a smart American attor
ney would almost surely have accomplished
with the advantages which Mr. Seymour fallei
to use. The trial was so Interesting, as a picture
of female folly and di-pravity, that a sketch of
It may be well worth the space it will occupy in
the World.
M'me Bach el's name is Sarah Rachel Tever
son, and although she looks much older, is said
to be but 43 years ot age. She was charged with
unlawfully obtaining, by false and fraudulent
pretenses, from Mary Tucker Borrodaile, some
4000, with intent to cheat her ol the same.
This was the second trial the former Jury hav
ing disagreed. The prosecution was conducted
by Sergeant Ballantine, assisted by two counsel;
the deiense by Mr. Seymour and three learned
sergeants. Mrs. Borrodaile is a clever little
woman, older than Rachel, and very much in
need, not of something to make her beautiful
forever, but of something to make her even
passably good-looking. An uglier little woman
I have rarely seen. She testified that she
first went to Rachel's in 1864, in consequence
of seeing an advertisement in the newspapers.
"She had a breaking oat of the skin, and
freckles," and wished to have them
removed. For this she paid 170, but all she
got for ber money was "some soap and powder
and something to put in her baths-." The freckles
remained, and she was not yet beautiful. Two
years afterwards she again went to Rachel, who
then told her that "Lord Ranelagh was in love
with her," and soon after this she "was intro
duced to Lord Kanelagh in the presence of
Rachel's daughter and Valeria." Rachel said,
"I will introduce you to the man who loves,
you," and opened the door leading to the shop,
where, sure enough, stood Lord Kanelagh. "I
went up to him," said this susceptible widow,
"and asked if he were Lord Ranelagh;:' he
handed me his card and said "I am." Tnis was
the whole of the thrilling conversation which
took place between the lovers on that occasion.
A few days afterwards she went again
to the shop. "I found . Lord Kane
lagh in the small sitting-room; Madame
Rachel said she would again introduce me
and did so; Lord Ranelaeh bowed, and nothing
more passed." I do not know whether this is
the ordinary stvle in which lords make love, or
whether Lord Ranelagh Is an ordinary lord, but
Mrs. Borrodaile thought it was all en regie.
Rachel told her that before she could be married
she must be made beautiful forever, the expense
of which would be 1000. Mrs. Borrodaile sold
out 1300 In the fnnds and paid 10u0 to Rachel,
for "enamelling and beautifying her," taking a
receipt which stated that the process was to De
continued until she was "finished." All that she
got for this were "some powder and soap, and
some small bottles containing magnetic water
to be put into her baths. The powders came
from Arabia." Rachel told her that while the
beautifjing process was going on, the courtship
would be conducted by letters, and that
Lord Banelagh would correspond with
her under the name of "William." Pre
sently the correspondence commenced, and
was carried ou with great fervor
on both sides. The letters from William were
in different hand writings, and one of them was
signed "Edward," but In the guileless innocence
oi her heart the love lorn widow believed them
to be the genuine letters of her noble admirer.
The answers she wrote to them were dictated by
Rachel. Mrs. Borrodaile Is an educated woman,
Rachel can neither read nor write; but the
former allowed the ignorant woman to dictate
every word of the letters she wrote to her pros-
fiective husbaud. Rachel alwavs took the
etters when written, saying ' she would
forward them. Acting all the while under
the direction of Rachel, Mrs. Borrodaile
bought 800 worth of lace, for her mar
riage trousseau, aud diamonds to the amount of
1260; the lace be gave to Rachel; the diamend9
she got the jeweller to take baok by paying
him 100. She subsequently paid Rachel
1400 more. Rachael told her that Lord Rane
lagh had got the money, and was using it for
"volunteer purposes." Altogether, la one way
or another, 4000 of Mrs. Borrodaile's money
got Into Rachel's bauds, and finally she gave
to Rachel a bond for 1600 more, failing to pay
which Kacbel bad her arrested, aud placed iu
jail. Finally, in the winding up of her testi
mony, Mrs. Borrodaile declared that the only
object with which she paid the money was to
prepare for and facilitate her marriage with
Lord Ranelagh; that all the letters were written
to him; and that she hud no other lover, or nny
laison with any other person. The theory of
the defense was that no such promise as that
represented had been made to Mrs. Borrodailo
by Rachel; that the former was carrying
on an intrigue, by the aid of Rachel,
with some unknown person of a humble
station in life; and that the money had
been used in this way, with the knowledge aud
consent of Borrodaile. Aud the evidence
really seemed to sustain this view of the case
at least it soon became impossible to believe a
word that Mrs. Borrodaile said. On being
shown her letters, to which she hadsworuon
tbe previous trial, she was very unwilllug to
admit that she bad written tbem, but finally she
"thought" they were hers. She confessed that
the letters were full of statements wholly false,
and which she knew to be lule when she wrote
them; they were dated from places at which
she aid not reside; they were written, as she
believed, to a peer of England, but they warned
him against joining tbe Fenans, and spoke of
sendiag Lira some socks and shirts, and of
mending tbe flannel shirts which be had worn
out; the were written to a nobleman whom she
expected to marry, whom she had seen bnt
twice in her life, and with whom she nsd ex
changed but two words, but she spoke la them
of having "yielded to him all that woman holds
dear." Here are some elegant extracts irom
these charmiDg bidets doux:
"I send you what jou ask for, though I frankly
tell you I did not luteud to give you any more
until we went away together; but it seems that
you know the overland route to ray heart. Mv
dear love, you must not be angry at the little I
send. If you want any more I will bring it
myself. Will that please you, my dtrl.ngf
. . . If yon sre a Rood biy. and do as I
wish, I shall be able to pay every bill. I love
you still, with all your faults. . . . Yoacan
coaie to me at 2 o'clock. And now, my own
darling. I bopo you will not give me any
further cause to fret and grieve, for if yon tear
yourself away fro.n tbe little lady wLh the
golden hair, which Rachel says every lady can
obtain for two guineas, I promise you never
to refer to tbe past. ... I will comply
with your wishes to-morrow; but pray, my
dear, do not let it be at that horrid place where
the peor man was killed. If you keep mo
waiting I will scold you well, and it will not be
the first time you have kept me waiting. . .
(Mrs. Borrodaile swears that she never saw
Lord Banelagh but on the two occasions above
described, yet the letters, which she swears
were written to him, are full of appointments
for and allusions to meetings between them):
. . . . One of jour kind friends has Informed
me that you are keeping a woman with my
money It is well known that 1 have
been living with you for months. You caunot
be and I am not surprised at this, considering
the life we have beeu leading. I have allowed
you to be my master but am I to believe that
the woman you travelled with, and who you
introduced to me as your sister, ts your
mistress f ... I am tbe widow of
a colonel, and although I have degraded
myself and family by having had anything to
do with you, I am still more humiliated by
being Introduced to such people as youassocla'e
with. . . . My oarling, we are ooe! I have
given you all that woman holds dear; thetefore,
you must not doubt me at the eleventh hour.
Forgive my suspicions I want nothing but your
love 1 am trying to save every six
pence, living in a garret, aud for you not for
Rendel), or any other man who has shared my
affections 1 am glad you did not go
to Ireland such a wretched place. Let Stephens
fight bis own battles. I am sick of the name of
remans. What good, my darling, can you do
by mixing yonrself with them or having any
thing to do with them 1 I am sorry that 8te-
Ehens ever had a pound of mine. How could I
ave been such a fool as to al(owyou to squander
the money in such a hopeless cause?"
And here Is a letter tbat presents Lord Rane
lagh in such a comical light, that 1 copy it
entire:
"My Own Dear William: If you look at the
enclosed bills you will see that 1 am not the ex
travaeant person that your sister says I am. I
bought Florence a pair of boots and three pairs
of stockings, not before she wanted them. Your
sister ought to see that your, stockings are
mended, i cannot see woy sue cannot mend
tbem herself, and put some buttons upon your
shirt. It would be better than gossiping with
the woman in the room next to her. Send all
your clothes that want mending to me, and I
will mend them. Florence's boots I bought at
Marsh s, Oxtord street. As you want boots, we
wni go to iJattersDv's and get tnem, wnicn is a
shop lower down the same side of Oxford street.
I am surprised that your flannels should be worn
out. Xou have not had tbem six weeks. It is
bad washing. There is a man in a court in Re
gent street who mends gentlemen's coats and
trowters. My darling, we must economize."
r As I heard Mr. Seymour read these letters, and
Mrs. Borrodaile confess that they were hers, I
came to the conclusion tbat Madame Rachel
would be acquitted ; for Mrs. Borrodaile certainly
wrote these thing6 to a man with whom she
was in constant personal intercourse; if that
man was not Lord Ranelagh, she had perjured
herself by swearing that she had never seen or
spoken to tbat nobleman save on two occasions,
in Rachel's shop; if it was Lord Kanelagh, he
had got the money, and he ought to be in tbe
dock instead of tbe old woman. But the jury
was wiser than I was. Lord Ranelngh's testi
mony was very brief, but it disclosed the
shocking fact that his name was Jones I Said
his lordship:
"My names are Thomas Heron Jones, Viscount
Ranelagh; I have seen Mrs. Borrodaile on one
or two occasions at Madame Rachel's; I never
presented her with a card, and never had the
slightest Intention of marrying her, and I never
authorized Madame Rachel to represent that
I had."
It was proved that Mrs. Borrodaile hal repre
sented to several people that he was to be mar
ried to a Colonel William Edwards but that
gentleman also denied, on oath, the soft im
peachment. Altogether, it seemed clear enoagb.
that Mrs. Borrodaile was not to be believed.
And tbe daughters of Madame Rachel testified
that their mother had often paid mouey to Mrs.
Borrodaile in sums of 100 and 200. The only
possible explanation of the letters, on the theory
of the prosecution, was that Mrs. Borrodaile
had written tbem under "magnetic Influ
ence," exercised over her by Rachel, that she
was in fact "the widow bewitched." But the
little woman did not appear to be a person liable
(o that kind of influence: she was altogether the
smarter of tbe two. The assumption tbat Mrs.
Borrodaile, the widow of an officer, a lady who
had moved in the best society, believed that a
nobleman who, on being presented to her for
the first time, bowed to her, said "good morn
ing," and then walked away, was betrothed to
her as her husband, is too ridiculous to be en
tertained by any person but an Old Bailey jury
man. The most probable truth is tbat there
was nothing to chooee between the two women,
and probably it was the prejudice against
"Jews" which really convicted the old woman.
The newspapers here all seem to think that the
verdict was a just one but, it so, it should have
been based ou something more substantial than
Mrs. Borrodaile's oath.
