Mild of yesterday. These papers contain a re port of a meeting at thee Cooper;lnstitute; at which it seems that ono of the speakera indulged in remarks reflecting--upon- yen aginhoLeellnsel , of Hester. Vaughan. You - ask me to say "in what manner the defence was conducted, and to; add, without - any-hesitation, any neglect I may have observed in the course - of-thc trica r -b h the part of the prison6r's counsel." - r I avail myself of the first opportunity afforded me to testify I was the Associate Judge, who, with Judge Lndlbw,presiding during that session, bled the case of Hester-Vaughan:" The prisoner wiumiefended by yon with earnestness and ability. I think, by the interest excited in the' case, that the slightest omission on your part would have struck me.l recall no such impression, but on the contrary, - my present recollection: tile ease IS that from that to last you dtgehargeit tho duties of-your responsible norllioll 1% 1 ,1;4 Zeal ah 4 East= By., V int interest in your ;lout nevor .flagged; no objeCtion that could have been taken :Was omitted, and every effort was made to secure a favorable result. freely declare •that In no particular is her present position attributable to you. - Awto - tha - conversatiou - alleged-to have taken place between yon,and your client, I have of course no knowlede.

CARROLL BREWSTER. Lei ir.ll FROM HON. WM. B. MANN. r'nthavamana,Dee. 3,18G8-14.4 S. Sixth street. —My Lear Sir: I have read the proceedings of the convention in the New York Times and Tri bune, to which you called my attention, and am satisfied that, those who partierpated in the_debate__ &Lit& understand Fleeter Vanghttit's case. The evidence upon the trial disciosed these facts: -- • On-a Saturday night; last February, a police man was informed that a child had been kitled ru a house in the northern part of the city of Phila delphia. He visited the house and in the third story room. was , the, dead; body of a new-born child. The Coroner's playelelan, Dr., Shapleigh,, made . , a post-mortem examination, and found brute& ou'the top and left side of the head, in filetedTby Some -blunt- Instrument;.-.marks _of_ violence. - -about , - the face, nose, mouth_ mid ; neck,' and the inner aide of the gums much bruited;' the left parietal bone was fractured in threeplaces throtigh its whole extent; a large clotof blood was on the brain; the cavity of the abdomen was filled with -bloodj the lungs and heart of the child indicated that it had breathed. It came to its death, continued Dr. Shapleigh, "by violence, the cause being from the injuries about the head and abdomen." The Doctor further testified that in his opinion the child was born alive. Mr—fiwartz,_Who_went for the policeman, testified "that Hester Vaughan desired him to have this child taken away and buried,but he felt it to:be his duty too to the station-house ,find a report; that Hester had lived some time in this third story room; that he noticed she was pregnant, and that when she had had his little boy in her arms ho had said to her, 'next year soh will have a boy,' and she replied, *I hope not; that on the Saturday that the child was discovered he was in Hester's room, and he said to her, "I told you you wore in the family way, and you said you were not." He then asked her "where the child was;" she said she "had none." He said, "Then we must find it." Ile then went out, saying he would get a physician and a police officer. His wife; then called him baCk, when Hestereald - she had a child and wanted him to get a box and bury it, which he refused to do, and went to the station-house. Mrs. Swartz testified that Hester Vaughan came to her house in November; she noticed she was piegnantand asked her when she expected to be confined, and she replied she didn't know anything about it; Mrs. Swartz asked her if she "had any baby clothing" and she said "no;" " that On Friday morning about nine o'clock she Went into Hester's room and found her sitting on the held, and said to her "Hester, you'd better take a cup of affee;" she then heard a baby cry; she gave Hester the coffee, who told her to go out of the room and come back after a while; she then went out of the room and did not come back for a while. She called Mrs. Reefer, and went back at 10 o'clock. They went in and found Hester sitting by a stove; she did not then hear the baby cry, and never heard it cry afterwards. On Saturday she went In to see her, and said to her, "let me see your baby;" she said she "had none;" Mrs. Swartz then said, "I'll go and search the bed;" Hester replied, "Oh ! my, Xre. Swartz;" she again said she "had no baby,"and Mrs. Swartz said,"l know you have a baby; I heard it cry;" Mrs. Swartz told her she would bring an officer and a physician, upon which Heater said it was "none Of her business, that she paid her rent." She also asked Mrs. Swartz not-to tell anybody about it, not even her husband. Sarah Reefer corroborated the testimony of Mrs, Swartz and said "she called me to her room at four o'clock" (Saturday afternoon). I told her I must go up stairs, that' I had work to do. When I after wards went down she told mo to sit down. She then said, `Mrs.Keefer Lbare a baby.' I asked her where it was; she said it was under the head of the bed; I told her she should let me ta.ai it; she 'said it had been there from Friday morning at 9 o'clock; she „told me this on Satniday—wightf . she said to me, what shall I do? she did not want it known to anybody. I told her the best she could do was to let it he known to the people in the house. Hester Vaughan said this; she said, if you will take it away I will give you all I have got, so that peo ple can't find it out. She showed it to me; it was dead. She said when Mrs. Swartz and my self brought her a cup of coffee in the morning she fell back on her child and killed it. She said it was nine o'clock when the child was born. She, wanted me to mitotic child into my room and she would nut her clo'bes on and take the child somewhere, so no one could find it out." There was evidence also that a number of bil lets of wood were in the closet of the room, and a wood-burning stove with fire in it. At the conclusion of the case for the Common wealth, at half-past one o'clock, tile Court ad- journed until the next day, in order to afford the delence the opportunity to produce witnesses from the country, and further directed all the officers of the Court to be at the service of pri toner's counsel to procure the attendance of any other witnesses she might desire. The next morning the Court met, and after hearing-the defence and the arguments of counsel and the charge of the Court, the jury retired, and after deliberation (I think of two or three hours) eerie into Court with their verdict. -The case was plainly ono of child-murder, and so the Court and, jury were compelled to regard it. As I prosecuted for the Commonwealth, Lam' entirely familiar with the conduct of the case,and simple Justice to you requires me to say that you conducted the defence with ingenuity and ability, and did all for her case which any upright and honest lawyer could. I grieve to learn that your management of the cause has been so severely and unjustly criticized, and that the good name you have obtained in a laborious and honorable profession nay been tar nished by those who are profoundly ignorant of the facts whereof they speak. Your motion in arrest of judgment and argu ment for new trial, and the persistence with which you clung to your client, are in a strange contrast with the idea of abandonment as charged against you, and 1 give you credit for all the assertions which I know you have since been making to alleviate her distress, and , possibly to ultimately effect her deliverance. I am very truly and sincerely your friend, WILLIAM B. MANN. JOHN GOFORTH, Esc,,., Sixth street. • THE THIRD BLANDER. The third charge of the Cooper Institute peo ple was laid against a respectable gentleman of Jenkintown. The total falsehood of this whole branch of the subject, including "glorious Hester Vaughan's" noble refusal to "rine his name through the world,"because he had since married an "innocent, trusting woman" is thus exposed. We have no doubt that Hester tells the plain truth in her affidavit. RESTER VAUGHAN'S AFFIDAVIT. The following is the substance of Hester Vau ghan's affidavit, made yesterday: "I have never told any one who was the father of my child, but I have repeatedly said that the gentleman with whom I lived as servant at Jen kerito'wn, was not the father; he was not a gentle ma at all,he was a laboring man; I do not know If be !married; I have not heard since I have been here that he was married; I never saw nor heard' of Win after he did the act; I know nothing about him at all." The whole business, thus exposed as a most sac ravagfint,ignorant and untrue piece of i3cusa- Ilona! agitation, reflects no credit - upon Its mane gers, and ought to serve as a warning in the fu ture'lo''Llidse4ho rush before the public with tbeir_grietlittnees, without waiting, often without cariug;to aseerialn whether their story is true or false. AU Israelite Ploadingjtor Sunday—An Important Bitovement. • A contributor to the . Israelite, published at Olncinwtti begins his cominunication as follows;' "In order, then, that we may have a day of rest, a real Sahbath, whiCh‘2,an- be observed, by _all Israel, we propose to::adopt that day which is set apart by hundreds of millions, nay, the whole civilized world, for -physical rest and the worship of. God. Let cur prayers and thanksgivings with theirs - ascend to His throne on the same day, the SUNDAY." The writer who makes : this proposition : at) repugnant to the ears of it people for many centuries jealous of the slightest variation from tbq iitablished customs, &dares that he has been taiefected as the spokesman of - a party, respectable in number,. respectable in intellect, fully persuaded of the correctness of their views, and fully determined to dismiss the subject in,all its bearings." The selection is manifestly a fortunate one, for the temper of the article and its logic are remarkable for,. candor, clearness and moderation. The old Hebrew word "Shabbas," which lies at the-bottom of-this controyerar,--is -de • - clared to mean simply rest: Cease from labor and devote to the service of God—this is the literal and spiritual meaning of the .word Shabbas or Sabbath. * * How dcies the fourth commandment read? Does it say on this or that particular day, specifying it by mine, Saturday, thou shalt rest, and it 'shall be your Sabbath henceforward and forever more? No. Such are the commands of man, but not of the - Almighty. - The selection of Saturday by Moses is ex plained as being most suitable and conveni ent for the Hebrews at that era. The insti tution, it is presumed, answered all purposes throughout the past, until within the last half century, when it; became obsolete. Dur ing this 'period they have been virtually with out any Sabbath or day of rest. Those who most bitterly oppose the- proposed reforma tion are_scarcely observing even the day which they recognize as Sabbath. The re sult is that they are becoming lax, and so, fast tending to utter irreligion, apostacy, and the total destruction of the Jewish faith. Even now their offspring display perfect in difference to religion. Tne question is ac cordingly asked: "Do yon not perceive the influence of nine teen centuries on the observances and forms of our religion ? And can all. the past, present and future exert no influence upon you? You cannot stand still and be passive even if you desire, to be so. The irresistible movement of progress, the law of nature and nature's God, will propel -you on to that in evitable necessity which we so earnestly be seech you to adopt. Any day we set apart as a day of rest, to worship God in spirit and in truth, is acceptable to Him. We select Sun day, because in the fear of God, with rever ence for His great name, and an eye to His glory, it is more convenient, observed as it is by millions, because it can be hallowed, while ours, as at present arranged, is an utter im possibility." Having further argued this matter, the writer attacks with vigor the intolerant and persecuting temper which has been displayed by his fellow religionists. It created the Christian. church. Jesus was a Jew, a great man, a second Moses, who desired to purify faith and correct the vices of their church and people, nothing more nor less. "But as a prophet is never,appreciated in his own country, he was crucified and male a mar tyr of, and his disciples made him a God. 'The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.' We sowed the wind and we - reaped the whirlwind. Our vices, follies, irreligion and cruelty created that church which has been our scourge and oppressor through countless ages." It is proposed to call a grand religious council, who can settle this Sabbath ques tion definitely; either adopting Sunday for all, or dividing those wishing Sun day and those retaining Saturday as the Blab bath. These views will naturally create excite ment, and probably lead to no immediate results; but they indicate the dissemina tion of a spirit of inquiry which must eventually break down the wall of parti tion between the Israelites and other reli gionists. Letter groin Parepn.litosa on the Morals of the Stage. The Chicago press and pulpit have been recently engaged in an animated discussion in regard to the morals of the stage, including the opera,whereupon the well- known singer, Madame Parepa -Rosa, writes to the Chicago Times the following letter: CoVNCH. BLUFFS, November 28, 1868. Being a constant reader of your estimable paper, I have, of course, read the opinions, pro and con, of the different clergymen on the subject of a profession I have followed now for some years, both as an operatic and concert singer; and must express my surprise that any clergymen can throw such fearful aspersions on a profession which can only be followed by using the gifts of voice and memory which God alone can confer; and, as ladies can earn so little in any but a pub - lie performance, it is very hard that an hon est woman should have such terms applied to her, merely by being obliged, through cir cumstances, to turn her talents to ascount. It is not right in a man, and particularly in a clergyman, to condemn a class he evidently does not know. I firmly assert that the ladies in my profession who are 'not virtuous women are the exception to the rule. I could mention scores of names, but will only' name some of our prominent professional ladles, whom I personally have the pleasure of knowing, with few exceptions: Mme. Schumann, Miss Phillins, Mme. Sherrington, Miss Kellogg, Miss Banat, Mme. Viardot Garcia, Mrs. Seguin, Mrs. Edward Seguin, Mme. Medori Persiana Sontag, Mme. Miolan Carvalho, Miss Nilsson, Mme. Jenny Lind Goldschmidt, Mme. De Giuli,Mme. Harriers- Wippers, Mrs. Bernard Richings, Miss Bate man, Miss Henriques, Mme. Sainton Dolby, Clara Novello, etc. Having named these ladies, whose reputation is well kaown, is enough to prove the truth of what I say. As to our not being received in society, or among the familiar circle of the best families in all countries, it is a new idea,as I am sure that the experience of other artists must be even w,th mine, in being made welcome everywhere, and not finding sufficient time from our avo cations to accept all friendly invitations re ceived. I hope you will publish this hasty anffquiteunprepared vindication of my sister artists, and express my strong feelings against being subjected to such sweeping aspersions by one who certainly ought to influence public opinion, having the advantage to give his stigma to any profession from the pulpit ! Again begging your pardon for taking your time and space, and hoping you will take in consideration my naturally wounded feelings, I i emain, dear sir, truly yours, EUPHROSYNE PAnurA•RosA.

Dec. 4.—The Convention of the Notional board of Trade was called to order by the Pi ee.leent at 10 A. AL _On motion of the. Conimittee on Admission, the Mobile Chamber of Commerce was admitted, and its delega-es, Stewart', Smith and Walker, were admitted into full metabership. The. President addressed the Board. He saki a good deal of the most torpor tent business yet remained to be considered, and /o trusted no member would talk of dispersion eo long as there were any matters which remained undecided, and that those who felt compelled to leave should make an effort to stay, showing no baste to evade their responsibilities, whereby their deliberations would have their due weight with the people and with Congress. He then reviewed the former suggestions as to the form of proceedings, that every gentleman, when rising, instead of saying Mr. President, should announce his own name and place dis tinctly; also as to the vast importance of the ores tion brought up yesterday from the BOard of Trade of St. Louis, and , other matters. Ho asked, the'concurrence of the Board in his former sug gestion; this was, that each member of that Board should have priority of speech, and then he would calon - theltidlyidu - artrembenrofeachadelegation in alphabetical order, so that each delegation should have an opportunity to speak, whereby they could'arriVe at ttie views of merchants from all_parta of the country. His object was-to preserve regularity. If no objection was raised he would atvaceordingly on all the weighty matters that pressed for their con sideration. . If, after the roll was called, there were any other members who wished to reply, they might be able to speak. Concurred In. The Chairman of the Committee on Admissions then presented a report on the claim of the Board of Trade of Norfolk, Va., for admission. It VMS an Old and important body and clearly entitled to admission; but their credentials wore not under seal. Be, therefore, proposed that the delegates be admitted to the floor, with the privilege of speaking, but not voting. Mr. Nuzro, of Boston, objected. He wished to keen to the strict letter of the Constitution. Mr. Brandi, complained of Mr. Nazro's extreme technicality. The motion was put and votes cast, 05 yeas; 29 nays. The Chair Man of the Committee on Admissions again pre tented the claims for admission from Springfield, Ohlo. The delegates were admitted to the door, - and permitted to speak, but not to vote. The delegate from Council Bluffs, Mo., (Mr. Johnson) was also admitted under the same re striction. The Cairo Board of Trade were admitted by 23 yeas to 6 nays, into membership. Although no aelegates yet presented them- BeIVCB, the application of the Mobile Board of Trade was also presented, communications being by telegraph. Mr. Blacken, of New York, objected. We were drifting into an unconstitutional course. We had no evidence whether this application came - from a - steamboat or - insurance - company. We had nothing to do with any individual Inter est, but with general commerce. We.have or ganized for ezdusively commercial purposes. Not admitted. Mr. Holden, of Milwaukee, was excused from attendance. This matter came up from yesterday. It arose from a recommendation prom :ding from the New YOrk Produce Exchange, to the effect that American shipping can be restored to its posi tion of the supremacy of the ocean from which it was driven by the rebellion and from the want of proper legislation. Mr. Hincken, of New York, wafted every one here and every one in the United States to know that American ships no longer convey the vast produce of ounsoil. The decline , of our tonnage has been about one and a half million of tons. We must be allowed to buy vessels wherever they can be obtained at the cheapest rate, and sail them under the American flag. This was the only commodity on which there was entire pro hibition. We could buy any article anywhere and import it, paying a duty, but not a ship nor a steamer will come here claiming free trade. We should bki alloWed to do what England and France have done; but we are willing to pay an ad valorem duty on all foreign ships bought and sailed by American sailors. The report, which was long, was ordered to be printed, and made the special order for to-mor row.- The Committee on Telegraph reported the fol lowing : Resalved, That the National,. Board of Trade recommend the adoption by 'the general gov ernment of measures to cheapen and extend tel egraph communication between;i the different points of the country by making it part of the postal system. The resolution was postponed so come up after the shipping question. Mr. Myers, of St. Louis. thought it desirable that Congress should,-by legal enactment, re store the currency of the nation to a specie basis, and redeem unpaid and depreciated promises of thegovernment by restumne specie payment at the National Treasury as early as practicable. A delegate from Aloany stated that his delega tion was in favor of specie payment. Mr. Loney, of Baltimore, offered a resolution recommending to Congress the passing of a law forbidding the sale of any gold in the United States Treasury for legal tender notes, or other currency, and requiring the Secretary to dis pose of surplus coin for six per cent. gold in terest-bearing bonds of the United States, to the highest bidder, and all bonds so purchased im mediately to be cancelled. Mr. Loney also offered the following preamble and resonation : . _ WhereaF, There had been recently great press ure in the money market, caused partly by na tional aed partly by artificial means, which had the effect of deranging business and depreciating Dm 'value of the products of the land; and Whereas, The banking basis of the country being legal tender notes, which cannot be in creased while various bonds and other securities thrown on the market are increasing rapidly; therefore, be it Resolved, That this Board recommend to Corr. , ' gress the plumage of a law rdqulring the Secretary c bt the Treasury to buy all six per cent gold bear ing interest bonds of the United States at the fol lowing rates ;—ln the year 1869, one hundred and ten at one hundred par ; in the year 1870, at one hundred and twelve for One. hundred par ; in the year 1871, at one hundred and fourteen for one hundred par ; in the year 1872 at ono hun dred and sixteen for one hundred par ; and all bonds so purchased to be cancelled. Mr. Hopes, ofßoston, favored an early resump tion of specie payments. Ho offered a resolution that it was the duty of the government to make provision for the gradual withdrawal of legal ten der notes, not arbitrary,but to allow holders to ex change for bonds bearing Wawa; Mr. Naar° believed the difficulties in the way of a resumption of specie payments were more imaginary than real. The government could do it in six 'months with vigorous measures, and. he submitted a resolution to this qtlect. Mr. Randolph, of Chicago, said he was op posed to any measures that would make two classes of money. , Legal tender-notes.shordd, as soon as possible, be raised to gold. He offered a resolution that the true policy of the government in attempting to resume specie payments is, to strictly adhere to national, integrity. This can not be done by entertaining any suggestions looking to a partial repudiation of its obliga tions. - - Mr. Munn, of Chicago, took,the floor, and said that the first thing that should be done was to re trench the expenses of the government, in the next place to reduce the rate of interest of the _debt. The great bood debt bears six percent., more than any government on the earth is com pelled to pay. He thought the government was not morally,bound to pay bonds in gold unless it be to their interest. Ho was in favor of a new, loan at lower rates, or 'pay them in the same cur that the people are obliged to receive for debt. George T. Davis, of Cindinnati, agreed in the main with the 81, Louis resolutions. he only dif fered as to the measures. The' Government should do as business firms; if they can't pay their debts at once, got an extension of time and go to work husbanding their resources. We have reourees • beyond measure, , and two or three yefirs of soceessful crops, growth and prosperity in the South Would help os out- of the presenk. I;1. I I I . difficulties. Mr. McGraw, of Detroit, thought It was not expedient to attempt specie \ payment until gold :sufficient shall accumulate in the Treasury to pay all indebtedness as it mature'. Mr. Renald, of Louisville, said that we have on several occasions suspended specie payments with a per capita circulation of seven dollars.. How can we resimerepecie pas - 3 - acuts when our circulation is twenty dollars per head? We live much more expensively than formerly, and can carry a greater amount of currency, but it is pre posterous to suppose that we can resume at any fixed day in the tuturc. We can nOt export heavily, because our markets are the highest in the world,- and as long as this is the - ease wo cannot resume; we must expend less and sell more. He believed it wopid be no yiolation of public faith to pay oil the bonds in legal money. A.MBRICAN SHIPPING Mr. Brenta thought a resumption Was possible within two years. HO differed with the resold-. tion in that part which recognized,the difference between gold and currency oontraetif. A social supper was given to the Natio - nal Board of Trade to-night,' by the city, at Pike's Opera House, The house was decorated with „evetereerts, and a shield for each State. Taos. F. Willstsch„ Mayor bf Cincinnati. - presided. The President of the National Board, Mr. Fraley,gave the followleg toasts "Cincinnati, the Queen City of the West; beautiful and cordial. May her prosnerity in, the future beequal to her prosperity in the pant. ,, Josiah Keck, President of the Council, gave— " The old 'fimber State." J. B. Brown, of Portland, Me., returned the thanks of Portland to Cincinnati and other cities for the aid they had sent to Portland after her serious loss by fire. "South Carolina, the home of 'a Marion / and a Rutledge" was responded to by Mr, McCaltee, of Charleston, who concluded with the sentiment, "Agriculture, Commerce, and - Mechanical arts, they add wealth:and prosperity to any people." Mr. Fanington, of Richmond, Va., replied in an eloquent speech, hoping that now the war - was aided - the - two - sections - of - the country-cot:tid ily° in harmony and;unity. At the conclusion of the speech the band struck p the ''l3ehule - Blue - Flag; followed by "Yankee Doodle" amid great applause. The festivities ended with the "Star Spangled Banner," the whole audience rising to theirfeetandexprebsing the most unbounded cuthuslasm. Thee Jefl. Davie Trial. RICIIBIOND, Dee. 4.-1 n the United States Cir cuit Court, Chief Justice Chase presiding, on the motion to quash the proceedings against Jeffer son Davis R. H. Dana, for the government, opened this morning. He proceeded to show_ that'the Fourteenth Amendment was not a penal statute, but was merely a change in the political system adopted to secure trustworthiness lu of fice and preserve purity in the" administration of the gcvenamenL it was a measure of precaution to secure the country against filling offices with persons who once before filled them and broke their oaths. 11 it had been In tended to inflict punishment it would have been the utmost foll3r of legislation, seeing that while it would,'as viewed as the defendant's counsel viewed it, lighten the punishment of the leaders who had held office and broken their oaths, It would leave the people who never held office ex posed to penalffea of death and imprisonment,: as pronounced by the Constitution before the adop tion of the amendment. It was an expression only of the fitness of persons 'who engaged In the rebellion, after breaking their oaths,to hold office again. lt was not intended, as alleged by the defence, to_lielas an amnesty, nor _ there a single word uttered in the Congress that framed, nor the Legislatures that adopted it, to warrant such a construction. So far from Wait wash:derided asalcat by which those men may be reached and guarded against who had proved unfaithful to their pledges to the . vernment- - It-could not be -plead in bar of conviction for treason, seeing that it applied to those only who had often taken the oath of office and engaged in insurrection and rebellion against the Government. Now treason , is something more than engaging in Insvrrection and rebellion. It is levying war against the government, andoi this the defendant stands charged. It would be strange, indeed, if Jefferson Davis could, as he might under his plea, come to the bar and ac knowledge that he was guilty of treason, and deny his liability to be punished because of the Fourteenth Amendment. Mr. O'Conor followed Mr. Dana. He showed, from the very nature of the grdat civil war, that it was impossible to follow it nr. by-trials for treason, conducted with the fairness required by law. how utterly repugnant to the worlds idea of humanity it is, that after being reWgnized during the war, as in all respects equal and as honorable men, the leaders of the cenquered forces should be searched out in peace, to: be hung as traitors. The government and the toe pie bad never intended to do this, and it was for this reason the Fourteenth Amendment had been addpted. ` - It was a constitutional nrovielon, and exe- cuted itself, and these who fell under it Were now suffering the punishment. Re asked the .Court to give the construction to, the Fourteenth Arti cle that the American people intended 'it should bear, and to accept the 'great and beneficent act of mercy in the construction which they bad pat upon it, and which tends to advance all good men who are believers in universal suffrage. The court adjourned until to-morrow. After the adjournment of the United States Circuit Court to-night, the counsel were recalled, when Chief Justice Chase announced that the court was divided, be (Chase) being in favor of quashing the indictment, and District Judge Un aerwood opposing it This division of the court was certified to the Supreme - Court of the United States. Justice Chase will leave for Washington to-morrow morning. ROOKS of WEEK. Madame Thdrese : or, the Volnuteer of '92. By MM. Erckmann-Chatrain.
