During the past two weeks an army court martial has been in session in New York. The subject of the court-martial is Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Elisha J. Bailer. Lieutenant General Sherman has preferred charges against him of "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." The specifications are desertion Irom and refusal to support his lawf nl wife and other scandalous conduct. General Vodges is President of the court. THE WRONGED WIFE. The case excites unusual interest among offi cers of the army and others. The lady is well known in fashionable circles in Boston, New York, and Washington. She has rare personal beauty, is possessed of indomitable courage and energy, and it is through her efforts alone that the court-martial to try her husband has been ordered. i Mrs. Bailey is the daughter of the well-known Hon. Jacob Broome, ex-member of Congress from Delaware. j . THE MARRIAGB. , She resided with her father in Wilmington until three years ago, when at the age of eighteen years she married Colonel Bailey, who was then about fifty years of age. She claims that she was a mere child when she married; that although without thought she wedded an old man, she has always been true to her mar riage tow, and that her only crime has been Innocent flirtations with army officers. As Colo nel Bailey was of a Terr Jealous disposition, these flirtations caused him much uneasiness, and were finally magnified in his eyes into heinous offenses. i WHAT 18 BHOWN BT EVIDENCE. I The evidence adduced before the court-martial shows that in the spring of 1808 Colonel Bailey was stationed in Wilmington, in charge of the Government Hospital. There he wooed and won his wife. A few weeks afterward Colonel Bailey was detailed to Fort Warren, in Boston Harbor. His young wife accompanied him. In the fort the pair occupied what are known as officers' quarters, and her society was in the main composed of army officers and their associates. . ..,. TOOD TOR SUSPICION. j Colonel Bailey asserts that one day he entered his tent and found Lieutenant Cuyler enjoying a cosy tete-a-tete with Mrs. Bailey. They were lnokincr over an album containing nhotopranh of various army officers. The Lieutenant was very familiar and affectionate. Colonel Bailey ordered him out of his tent and swore at him like a trooper. He did not confine his oaths to Lieutenant Cuyler alone, but cursed all the army officer, from the commander-in-chief down to the eighth corporal in his own regi ment. He then demanded an explanation from his wife. She acknowledged that she was having a little flirtation with the Lieutenant, but disclaimed anything further. The Colonel then called in Colonel Gilson, now cooling himself off in the Dry Tortuaas, where he was sent by Gene ral bherman, and the two colonels endeavored to force a confession from Mrs. Bailey. She replied, "I will never confess to a lie; I am in nocent of everything except a flirtation." THE FOKCED CONFESSION. After this she was locked in her room. Co lonels Bailey and Gibson then wrote what pur ported to be her confession. Assisted by a Boston lawyer, Mrs. Bailey says that they frightened a drill sergeant into swearing to evi dence of Mrs. Bailey's unfaithfulness to her husband. This sergeant is now on his way irom Alaska to testify to the same facts before the present court-martial. All this took place in October, 1868. By mutual agreement the Colonel and his wife then separated. He re tained her purported confession. Within two months, however, a reconciliation wan effected through the influence of army officers, desirous of hushing np the scandal. Colonel Bailey met his wife at the house of the Reverend Mr. Cash ing, principal of Auburndale Seminary, i benediction was pronounced, a blessing was invoked, and both agreed to live in peace and harmony. i . ; j THE DELAWARE LEGISLATURE ON DIVORCES. Within a week the Colonel again became Jealous, and left her. He went immediately to )over. the capital of Delaware. The Legisla ture was in session. Through the influence of some friends he had a secret bill of divorce drawn ud and passed by both houses of the Legislature. This left his wife destitute, and dependent upon toe charities of the officers at Tort Warren. They raised money to defray her expenses to Dover, where she went. She visited the leading members of the Legislature and told her pitiful story. The Hon. J. M. Comegys espoused her cause and used his Influence to secure a repeal of the bill by which the divorce was granted. The act was rescinded by the unanimous vote of both houses, and the parties again stood before the law In the relation of man aadwiie. BAILEY OFF FOR ALASKA. On March 24. 1870. Mrs. Bailey learned that her husband was in New York, under the assumed name of II. 8. Borden. She immediately re- aolved to oursue and constrain him to contribute to her maintenance. She arrived at the Metro nnltran nn the Slstof March.- Colonel Ballev was greatly agitated at her presence. He left the hotel in great haste, without even stopping to pay his bill, and left directions with the clerk to Dack his trunk. The wife, again deserted and left destitute, found a friend in Colonel Totten of the regular army, who paid her board bill and furnished her with money to go to Washington. She determined to lay her case before President Grant and the war Depart- xnent. Meantime the husband, becoming alarmed at the persistence of his wife, managed to procure an order detailing him to service in Alaska, where he hoped to be out of his wife's seach. . . MRS. BAILEY BEFORE THE PRESIDENT. Mrs. Bailey arrived in Washington during the first week of last month. She called upon President Grant and narrated, with tears in her eves, her sad history. General Grant became deeply interested and gave her a letter intro ducing her to General bherman and Secretary Kelknan. She visited both these officers, and pleaded her case with an earnestness that com pletely won them over to her. , j At her reouest General Sherman ordered the present court-martial and .summoned Colonel from Alaska to answer. He is expected to arrive in a few days, when the Judgment of the Court will be submitted to the War Depart ment. With Grant. Sherman. Belknap, McDowell, and a beautiful woman on one side, and a Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on the other, the result of the cat cannot be doubtfuL It coeU 130 to talk non-cecse to the census A BROKEN-POTTS MAYOR. ; Coreerntlea Credit ere After the Maver af Weshlesten-llls Check Dlaaeaered. The Washington Mar of lost evening says: At the January term of the Circuit Court. Thomas Murray and wife obtained a Judgment against the corporation of Washington for inju ries sustained by falling down an embankment, for f500; and said Judgment not having been paid after the counsel for plaintiffs, Mr. Brad ley, had informed the Mayor by letter, the Marshal levied on the lot on C street, between Four-and-a-half and Sixth streets, to satisfy the same. This lot is known as the "Spring Lot," and was purchased by the corporation because of its containing a never-falling spring ef pure water. The property was advertised to be sold to-day, but on Saturday the Mayor drew a check on the First National Bank for the amount of judg ment and costs, amounting altogether to over seven hundred dollars. The bank refused to pay the check, and it was returned to the Mayor, who was in a quandary what to do. Cook, Morse, and the rest of the gang assured him that it would never do to have the fact get out that he had allowed this valuable piece of cor- E oration property to be sold by the sheriff; and nally he, with great reluctance, made a dive into bis own pockets" for the money to satisfy the judgment. ! There are a score of other hungry creditors waiting to get a clutch at tne same spring pro perty, but Bowen is consoling himself with the thought that there will not be time for them to get it under the sheriff's hammer before the election comes off. WIFE MURDER. Horrible Murder by an. Alabama Legislator. A correspondent of the - Montgomery Hail communicates the following, of which news has been received by telegraph, nnder date of Roa noke, Ala., May 10: A most brutal and fiendish murder was com mitted in Clay county, near Ashland yesterday, in which William Taylor was the cowardly actor. This fiend in human form misrepresents Chambers county in the Alabama Legislature. Onr informant, the Rev. Mr, Cnlpepper, tells us that Taylor had been on a spree for several days, and had abnsed his wife to that extent that she appealed to her brother, who resides near Louina, for protection. She requested him to come and carry her to his home for a few days, as she could no longer bear her husband's re peated brutality. ' Her brother went np, but did not take her back with him; in consequence of some misun derstanding or failure to make the necessary arrangements for travelling. She remained, and things grew from bad to worse until the afternoon of yesterday, when they culminated in her death at the hands of him who had pro mised to love, cherish, and protect her. The inhuman wretch shot her from the rear, coward that he was, the ball entering at the back of the head and emerging in front, his victim living but one hour. It is not known what caused him to commit this diabolical murder. We learn that Taylor moved to his present home some time in the latter part of the winter or the first of the spring, his former residence having been at Hickory Flat, Chambers county. Mr. Culpepper informed us that he had been arrested. GENERALITIES. Condemnation Extraerdlnarr-SSO,000 Dsui aaea. A iurr of condemnation was in session for a day or two for the purpose of assessing damages for cutting through the "Shrlver Island." They completed their work and laid the damages at $80,000. The case, as we understand it, stands as follows: Tne cumoenana uoai ana iron Company entered into a contract with the Canal Company, Dy wnicn me tatter was to ma&e iwo channels from the basin to canal for the ingress and egress of boats, and the present channel to be closed. In order to furnish the channels aforesaid the island must be ditched a few hundred feet. Said island is the property of Messrs. McKaig & Walsh. I he Canal Company secures a jury, and said jury conclude to give Messrs. McKaig & Walsh $80,000 for cutting two ditches through their property, although only (50,000 was asked. That is our under standing of the case, bat the whole island would not bring half that amount if thrown into mar ket. There were seventeen persons on tne j ury. Five of them refused to agree to any such damages, but were willing to give a reasonable amount. Cumber land Civilian. Olive Legaa and the Yennc Christinas. Miss Olive Logan is a lady whose business it is to deliver lec tares. She engaged, it appears, to lecture for the I oung Men s Christian Asso ciation at Iowa City on the 16th inst. But these Young Christians, apparently not comprenena- ing in their fervent piety the nature of a con- tract, ana ior reasons wuicu, wuamver tneir nature, can be good for nothing, sent to Miss Olive a message that they had changed their mind, and didn't want the Logan lecture. Olive is a peaceful name, but on this occasion Olive .a a t 1.1 a?t i a. a. 1 snowea nerseii oeiugerent. one sent a aespatcu to the association exceedingly plain in its terms. It was as follows: "i. M. C. A. 1 shall lecture in your city on the ICth inst. Make your arrange ments accordingly. I shall positively hold you to your contract. Olive Logan." Upon this the Council Bluff Times sagaciously observes: "This looks to us as U the young lady was alter stamps." What a shrewd Council Bluffer. After stamps ! Why, of course she is after stamps. Does tne Biun.uounciiior mm. mat mms jogan travels hundreds oi miles, ana pays away ncr money for railway fares, just to lecture for the fun of the thing r Alter stamps i Another St. Laals Defalcation. ; A St. Louis paper announces the prevalence there in official quarters of a soul-harrowing suspicion as to the Integrity of the high public functionary known as the City Dog-Killer. There have been shocking irregularities in the dog-killing department ot tne fit. Louis munici pal government, which ioiiowing so cioseiy upon the defalcation of Suslsky, the City Trea surer, are enough to destroy forever all human confidence in the powers that be out there. The night watchman at the pound testifies to the most startling discrepancies between the num bers reported and the dogs actually killed, aid still further, that the hero Kills his dogs several times over, stunning them one day and "chalk ing it down," and repeating the process the next day, and so long as the dogs last under that method of treatment. This system of arithme tical progression is not in favor at the Mayor s office and the Council Chamber of St. Louis. Tbat city minds its multiplication table care fully since the late developments in the munici pal treasury department. The dog-killer is not likely to get his little bill audited and settled. Decimation af the Spanish Amy. Of the 40,000 recruits sent here last fall from Spain, not 15,00 can now be mustered for duty. Sickness, death, and the chances of the field have taken the rest. Volunteering is abso lutely at an end, and the process of drafting has been tried, with what results has been seen. Thus it is certain the army can be no further replenished from the resident population. The last troops sent from the old country were recruited with the utmost difficulty, and only upon the most outrageous by false representations. They were told they were to come here to put down a servile insurrection, and many of them have told me they would have come under no other inducement. The treatment they have received from the Island volunteers has wholly alienated them, and they are not now to be trusted. They write home, such of them as can write, cautioning their friends not to be led into the same trap. In addition to this, I have talked with the officers of the Spanish mail steamers, who assure me that it would be utterly impossi- tie to r? cruM m&v iru'7 la for tUa service, even could Spain spore the troops, which she is in no condition to do. Thus, then, it must be clear that the last resources are now in the field, and that if the present campaign does not suppress the rebellion it never can be suppressed. Cuban Correspondence.

The bank statement yesterday shows a further Improvement in resources, though they have hod almost a mono poly of the loan business for several months past. The deposits have increased $427,035, and the legal tenders $200,052. There is a falling off in the specie reserve of $114,009, but this has little or no effect on the conditions of the loan market.

The Philadelphia ex press train going east this morning at 4 o'clock plnnged into an emigrant train going west, which was standing at Leaman Place. The switch connecting the two tracks had been left open by the criminal neglect of the conductor of some freight train which had passed over the road during the night, and the express train at sharp speed was thus led from its own track directly against the locomotive of the emigrant train. The only person killed was a brakeman of the express, named Thomas Swayne, i of Philadelphia, who died at his post of duty, and deserves the honors of a brave man. lie had been married but five months. Two German emigrants were injured, and were sent to Lan caster by special car as soon as possible. The express baggage and mail cars were tossed across the track, and all the inmates escaped by jumping. Some of the emigrant cars were driven by the concussion a quarter of a mile to the rear of their own train. The accident is one which no foresight on the part of the com pany i : 1 have prevented, and the officers of the road owe it to themselves to prosecute the criminal to the full extent oi the law. ; FROM WASHINGTON.

Mr. Oobnra opposed the bill, nnd also opposed the amendment tf the gentleman from Maase.bna.tt. (Mr. Batler). Tbe bill wee not a project to oncenrage eent Bssree er navigation, bnt merely to eneonrago chip build- ina. If the Dronoaitien were te enaoaraee commerce o navigation, any maa of common sense woaia say let onr citizens boy skips where they can bay them oheapaat. Pat no reetrictiena on their parabaae. Do as Austria does, and as France doea. Buy oheap ships. Buy tbsm at two-thirds of what yon can bnild them for. Pat the Am prion flag on any ship that anybody will ssll ns, and onr bold and hardy sailors wiU drive competition from tne ocean, in tbis way navigation mix at no en-eonrae-ed vastly. Iron ships eonld be bencht in England so much cheaper than they oonld be built for in the United States, that it saenied like madness not to buy them. Tbe amount ef bounty that would have to be paid nnder tbe bill tor tbe snipping neceesary to do all tbe carrying trade of tbe United states, lasssminn one anarter to be iron and three quarters wood, would be over giu.OM.OOe.

It wonld stir no retaliation, arouse iealous. and set the country out of tbe pale of friendly commercial rela tions witn foreigners, w Dsn tn.y com a nave a tnoronga bill, covering tbe whole ground, he should vote for it. Bnt tbe measures now proposed were narrow, nnjnst ira. pontic, man actual oi good, and would recall to the oennfarv. Tbe discussion was continued by Brooks ( N.

Mr. Bingham offered an amendment to that amendment, imposing ten per cent, additional oa goods imported la other than American vessels.

Mr. AUison desired to offer an amendment limiting the allowance of drawbacks to vessels ef over two thousand tons burden. Mr. Lynck declined to a'mit it, aad then air.

Insurrection aad Herniation Disturbance la tne State constitutional Chances. Vkra Crcz, April 26. The general news ia very much the same as at last date. Insurrection and revolution are In fall blast. There is an occasional effort made to induce the oellef that the state of things Is growing better, but these efforts are spas modic We learn from Zacatecaa that D. Joan a la Benches Roman, Antonio Marqnez, Jesus Arecblga, ueionei ueigaauio, ana otner cnieis, nnaer uarcia de la Cadena, are endeavoring to patch a peace with uie autnoritiea oi tne xtepuDiic. . In Ban Luis Potosl some of the soldiers who raised the Insurrectionary flag In Tlnajuelas have been apprehended. Toledo and Martinez, having aban doned Marehuala, marched on upon the City of Mais y Tula. It la said this force consisted of roar hun dred men. Toledo was wounded In a recent fight. Tbe Union, published at San Luis, mentions that an escort from the "Csadores de Oaleana" was sent out a short time since to guard a convoy of foooo which was being sent up to the forces of Rocha andTolen tlno In tbe northern part of the State. On the same day that this convoy started the sergeant and troops made a pronundanunto at a point called Tmajoelas, when the parser was severely punished and the efflcer of the guard was killed. - Martiuea had reached the state of Nueva Leon. Bis coming bad excited great alarm, but the people were getting over their Fright. The State Govern ment had ordered that the National Guards of Mon temorelas, Rayonce, Lynases, and some other places, should be disbanded, and this was accord lngly done. The question of constitutional reforms occupies very much of the pnblio attention. The Government of Tamanlipaa, Zacatecas, and Puebla have written to the President of tbe republic, saying that they were perfectly in accord with his sentiments, and urging the necessity of ch reforms.
