WASHINGTON LETTERS.
Tho letters. published in, this JournaV
Gtiring the last session of Congress' ov.t
the signature of “Chicago” and written
bj T one of its editors who spent the winter
at the Capital, attracted vciy general atten
t ion throughout the countiy, Their graph
ic and vigorous style, the dear view, which,
toy presented of the state of feeling exist
ing between the sections, the terse synop
sis which they gave of tho arguments of
representative men of all parties and all
shades of political sentiment, the occasion
al daguerreotypes ofpromincat personages,
and the ability with which the writer dis
cussed the various topics of legislation Imd
discussion as they arose, ’constituted a pro
minent feature of the paper duringthc win
ter months, and caused it to be much sought
for outsidcof our usual circlcof readers.—
NVc say this much-of these Idlers in the ab
sence of oar Associate, the writer of them,
confident that the readers of the Tribune
will agree with us in the estimate placed
upon them. From various quarters, with-v
;a the last two weeks, the inquiry has come
to us as to whether ” Chicago :: would; be
our Washington correspondent during the
present winter. Wc arc glad to be able to
give an affirnjative response; and to
say in addition, that by the time this num
ber of the Tribune reaches maiyofonr
subscribers, “Chicago” will be at his post
in Washington, from wliich time until the
close of the session, wc shall be in daily re
ceipt of his letters.
All who desire to keep well posted upon
the important events which arc expected to
transpire at thcNational Capital diiringlhc
the earliest intelligence as to the policy of
present session of Congress, as well as to
lie daily advised of all important move
ments throughout the country and the
world, will consult their own interest by
subscribing at once for the Thibcxe. Ju
no respect will it fall behind the beat con
ducted and most enterprising journals of

MEnciUSTSi 2SESSTXNG.
The meeting of merchants and business
men generally, to beheld this evening at
liryan’s Hall, promises to be an imposing
demonstration. We have but one word to
say In addition to what has heretofore ap
peared in these columns relative to this
subject. The object, ns wc understand it,
is to obtain an expression of opinion
from that class of community most large-h
--and intimately interested in-financial af
fairs, with the. expectation that it will to
some extent influence the act ion of our State
Legislature, soon to assemble. If this be
so, it is important that nothing be done
hastily, or without due and Kill delibera
tion and discussion. Different individuals
will undoubtedly have different panaceas
to offer lor our monctaiy evils. That is
well. Let cveiy plan be discussed. Lei
every man who ha-i an idea on the subject
contribute it to the common slock, and
then harmonize as near sis may be upon
some clearly defined line of policy which
will commend itself to men of sound judg
ment throughout the Slate, and secure
their co-operation in the general object of
reforming our currency. It is not necessa
ry that final action be had to-night. Pre
cipitancy will endanger cvcirthing. In a
matter of such vital interest, our business
men can afford to hold a half-dozen, or
more, meetings between now arid the as
sembling of the Slate Legislature. Wc
make these suggestions, believing that they
will meet the approval of nine-tenths, or
more, of the class who have called the
meeting.
IVERSON OF GEORGIA.
The intemperate and unpatriotic lan
guage indulged in yesterday by one of the
Senators from Georgia, ■will not, we trust,
betray any Senator or Rcprcsntativc of the
free Stales into a corresponding exhibition.
Iverson is a disuniouist per ac. Long be
fore the election of Lincoln be bad openly
avowed himself to that clToct. In one of
bis violent harangues In the Senate last
winter be declared in substance, that be
would accept of none of the panaceas
which were being held out to the South to
promote peace between the sections. There
were certain things which the South con
sidered essential to her security and the
building up of her interests, and these she
was willing to accept in the Union, if ten
dered to her. hut if they were not, she
would have them out of the Union. She
would have the power of the South
augmented by the absorption - *»f
Mexico, Central America, and the
Islands of the Gulf; she would have
protection for her property in slaves every
where; and she would have free trade both
in labor (niggers) and in goods. This is the
whole gospel of Sluvciy and of Disunion,
according to Senator Iverson. It is the
platform of South Carolina and of all the
disunionists ]ht Sf, of whatever Stale. A
distinction must be drawn, therefore, be :
tween the men for whom Iverson speaks,
and the conservative men of the South. If
we had the car of Republican Senators and
Representatives wo should advise them
neither to imitate the intemperance of
speech displayed by the Iverson and Keitt
school, nor dignity their violent and trea
sonable harangues with any reply or even
notice. Let them ventilate their treason
and air their brimstone vocabulary. The
best answer that can be given them, the
most •unanswerable reply that can be made,
is the logic of an imperturbable silence.
Population of Cincinnati.
The people of Cincinnati were . dissatisfied
with the resell of the census of that city as
taken by the United Stales Marshal, and
Common Council had the work done over at
the expense of the city. . The return has just
been made, showing: a total population of
171,293, which is übont ten thousand more
than returned by the United States Marshal.
From u Old Abo’s” Some.
(Special Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.
SranvoriEU), 2fuv. SS/ISCO.
The President elect returned from his trip
to Chicago on Monday evening. last. Vour
correspondent was delighted to behold once
more his angular form. His occupation was
absolutely gone as soon as it hadiiecn removed
beyond fright. The relapse of Springfield Into
its wonted dullness was instantaneous. The
capital of the Prairie State without Lincoln
was worse than Washington without Congress.
It struck the listless sojourner like one grind
Quaker meeting house. Hotel parlors were
deserted; book-keepers enjoyed an uninter
rupted leisure; billiard tables stood unoccu
pied; the capital looked like a dead house—in
hoc, many a distressing j 'lace your special cor
respondent has visited in hu time, ho fuels,
constrained to pronounce Springfield the most
distressing of all.
Mr. Lincoln was glad to get back. They had
worried him nearly to death with dinners,par
ties, Sunday school meetings, church visits,
levees, &c., <£c. The Scyllo, of Springfield, was
nnthing compared with the Charybals of Chi
cago. The bores here were mostly villager*,
and mode no other pretensions than to taken
good look at "Old Abe,” In t:c Garden City,
they claimed him body and soul. They hauled
him all over that city of respectable distances.
They surfeited him, who yearned for his plain
roast beef, with French dinners. They annoy
ed him with parties, 44 attended by the beauty
and fashion.” Expectants of distinction, from
oil parts of the Northwest, clang to him like
bum. What .wonder, then, that he felt bis
heart gladdened, on reaching once more the
vomptrative quiet of his old home ?
VOLUME XIV.
THE BFRI'II DIVORCE CASE.
THE ARGUMENTS OF COCNSELv
MR. CECRWITIt FOB THE DEFENCE.
MR. HOYNE FOR THE COMPLAINANT.
[From oar Special Reporter.]
y*rimvxLLE, Thursday r. x.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SESSION.
. The Court Room was thronged and crowded
wl.h spectators before the opening of the
Coart. Very many ladies from the Village Wctt*
present.
Mr. Beckwith, following Mr. Miller, then
addressed the Jury;
Gentlemen or tub Jmr—There it hd July
in one’s professional life affording so much
pleasure and gi>,Uucation as appearing in the
defence bftbclnnoeent; and there is no pleas
ure so great as appearing as I now do, not
’ only in the defence of an innocent woman, but
of her dclcuecicf-s children, an aged mother,
and her many friends. I don't eay she has not
done wrong, a grcvloua wrong,to her husband.
In saying that, I say no more than she
has already said iu her owu state
ment* oath.-'‘- After recapitulating the
attentions received from Mr. Boyd without
the knowledge of her husband, sbc says sbc
has Injured him, aud that though cot guiltv of
the,cnmc laid to her charge, she felt that’shc
bad done him a grievous wrong, but had hoped
by her penitence to be forgiven and restored
to him through the intervention of friend*. I
frankly say t-hchas done "rijng to her hus
band, and dcarD’d Horn the path of duty;
that she lias allowed her alfections to become
estranged from him, but still Isay that she
has never allowed that cloud to fall upon her
actions which would fix that foul stain upon
her character that they arc now seeking to
fasten upc n her.
1 am sorry the counsel in his speech has net
seen proper to state fairly the circumstances
of this case. He knew that the deposition
was on file which he h«* bad suppressed ns
testimony, the testimony of Mrs. Curry,which
would- have shown that the complainant
against the wishes of her friends, clandestine
ly sought the hand of this lady formercenary
motives. He knows that the original letter's
arc here on file which show that in ’57, he re
ceived from Mr. Corning $20,008, and in ’sl
$25,000, and that hls letters saV that he is
heart-sick that he could not pay It’hack. The
counsel knows that Mr, Davidson is here who
knows how many ISlijes this man has bet 11
saved frotn • penury and rnin 'by that
fatherly heart wii:h has never
refosea a favor. The counsel complains that 1
read the deposition of Mr. Tiirhe. He knows
that Ijc had charged in his bill adultery wfm
Ibis man, almost sixty years of age, with his
head gray, white, ripening and bloniomiog for
the grave. Did he believe it when lie made
that charge? If not, why did he put it in the
lull, and blazon the fact to the world ? I
thought, and correctly, that tny Client could
rurt bat lifted, if this mau with bis brilliant fu
ture just before him, come before this Court,
and said; “ Never, In word or deed have I
been jjftUly of this crime.’!
■ Again, the counsel finds fault that I asked
the witness, Layton, an impertinent question.
Why; I knew the witness had said so; Ikuew,
too, be lied when he sold so, as he has many
times to uo through his testimony. I thought,
too, he would own be had lied; as he has he* u
cumpgUed to manv times throughout bis tes
timony. Again, the counsel complains that I
said this suit had been commenced in a secret,
clandestine maimer, How was it commenced,
let me ask him. While this woman was, as
tho witness £ays, scared, frightened, distract
ed, crazy, a enmuu-n* is served upon her. An
answer is drawn. By whom? By power of
attorney. She is not allowed to see a friend on
earth, and is t-cut around another way that the
might not hoc her only brother. Forathon
t*uad dollars given to him, she is made to give
up her rights in SOO,OOO worth of property. I
ask the counsel who drew up (hat answer. I
ask him with whom dM that lady counsel.
The counsel complains that I said that Burch
inode this matter public Who did make it
public? Was it this unfortunate woman?
Who called In his legal advisers and held a se
cret conclave in Judge Skinner’s office ? Who
wrote to Mr. Pruyn that before the letter
reached him the whole Northwest would know
it ? Who, in the meantime, kept only his
gal minions and lackeys near her? Who made
•the whole thing known to the city of Chicago,
aad her name a lifcrins and by-word on the
lips of nil, before she reached her home?
The counsel says Mr. Burch offered to sub
mit the proofs to* Mr. Pruyn, and avoid a pub
lic trial. I saw this lady ruined,every hope of
cut off. . 1 saw they could never live*together
again. 1 advised most earnestly a separation
on such terms os would not impeach her vir
tue. No, says he, I have made the charge, and
though it ruin my- child and me! it shall be
only in that way. I had hoped when the pas*
idon of the hour passed away, he would think
with comjmsslon; but no such course would
he take. Mr. Bnrrb ouly proposed to submit
these papers to Mr. rrmnthathc ought not
haven defcucc made, llis tricud, Mr. Joy, hi
May laM, was commissioned to lay the proofs
before Mr. Pruyn, but that ho would not dis
close their contents to her or her friends, or
lake advice from her couns- L Mr. Pruyn de
clined to see them with such provisions. He
refused to let Mr. Corning sec them, her na
tural protector and iruardian. Mr. Corning,
who had chcrWicd and brought her up for
years, from whose home she was taken, \va«
asked to strike her down witnoat any proof
but the .--v -so of this man. 1 remained in Al
bany while that final interview was had at the
Fall's, and Mr. Burch would hear nothing, but
that pound of flesh for which he had bethought
in his bond.
It is said that I refused to have certain es
teemed persons associated with mo in this
ease. It is true. It wsis Mrs. Burch's case.
and her friends wore to defend it. I frankly
said that no friends of Mr. Stuart should step
In and defend this lady. I knaw Lite person*
tuinresH d lind been bosom and intimate friends
of Stuart’s for over twenty year?, and tin re
fore I refused. That was my motive, whether
of erroneous judgment or not.
• A large port of this ease Is founded upon
confession!*. Arcihe statements in (hen*con
fusions true or false. If we ascertain tliat they
urc false we shall have gone 'hr toward ascer
fainitg what credence shall b: giicn to them.
One ofthem confesses with au imj reunion of
divine vengeance upon Mrs. Burch. 1 can
hardly trust nnsclf to characterise the lan
guage in which that imprecation is couched.
To my mind it is Impious—impious, and no
fair man can read it with a different impres
sion. Tills is Mr. Burch’s handwriting, 'i he
oilier is Kiid to havc*lu»cn written by Mrs.
Burch. If Ibis woman had been unbosoming
hcr*clf. and d «cov ?ring al, ho v happen* it
Unit these two eontuiUiet each other, both
made voluntarily and freely, both under the
sanction of an oath, one in'the morning and
the other in the evening. How happens it
that they contradict each other? The one
mode in the morning admits criminality up to
May 'St, 38T>8. The one made in the evening
declares that nothing criminal was done after
December 24,35 V. Another thing: He rays
in his letter that at the time of she failure of
Oliver LeeV Bank, while he was absent agoniz
ing to save her from poverty, on the '4th of
October 1557, her tirst act of criminality with
Stuart took place. This he says he gets from
iscr cntifoidon. It is shown that the failure of
Oliver Lee’s Bank occurred on the sth of Sep
tember, 11W>, and that Burch was home after
the 4th of October to the Kth Inclusive. If
tins confession of putt be true, would not this
woman remember the first time of her criml*
naliiy. Would it not be indelibly Improved
upon her memory for every hour of her lire?
It Is now conceded that this in the conlcssion
is false. Ton will notice another thing: In this
confession. Yon will see that tho date of Oc
tober is left blank, and was tilled in with a dif
ferent ink, and Judec Skinner says be cannot
say that this date was in when be saw it. How
did Burchgct the dale to I’ll in? We find him
sending on Monday to Mrs. Mather to fix n
-time arid then filling up his blank confession.
If this lady was making a free and voluntary
confession, mrivosoming everything, why was
it necessary for him to send his little daughter
around Chicago to hunt up iufonnation on
which he could locatctbcday?
There seems to be & singular state of mind
on the part oft he defendant at this time. How
could a ChrislirUf man have set down and writ
ten to her brother-in-law that he was at that
time absent, agonizing for her comfort, when
he knew otherwise from the inquiry he had
made on Monday. Am thcr thing: the evening
of this 14th was the evening on which evening
meeting was always held in chnicb, from
which they ■were never absent. At half past
seven they opened. Mrs. Beck, who would be
most likely to know, remembers being at Mrs.
Mather’s in the morning. She renumbers the
. conversation held when the town bell rang,
and that Mrs. Burch went home iodine with
her husband. She recollects that Mrs. Burch
returned at three o'clock and stayed through
supper, and went home. The other* who tes
tify upon this point don’t recollect Mrs. Burch
being there. They are ull members of the
Burch family. The positive recollection of one
will be more them the nou-rccolicctioa of oth-
ers. ’ Where was Stuart that day? And here
'it seems neccscaty to call to mind the violent
attach made upon Mr. Stuart by the counsel. I
luivc'yet to leant that It is my professional duty
to travel outside unnecessarily to call a man a
villain, a;Hir, a scoundrel. Some twenty or
thirty of the most respectable men of Chicago,
knowing Stuart for from .5 to 13} years, testify
* to hie good character. Holding high situations
of trust —bolding them still—a.neighbor—was
there occasion for this attack ? Does its fair
ness commend itself to you i Every one com
ing Into a court of justice Is entitled to bare
thca'gisofhis goodaiame thrown around him.
Ko man has ever doubted the !ntegritv,good
laith or personal hpuor of the man. Cut the
counsel says his dress is different from others.
He condemns his character because Ids coat is
not cut by the same tailor as the counsel's.
He condemns his character because he is po
lite and affable. 1 will not enter into a com
parison -ot the character or manners of the
two gentlemen; I will not say that Stuart’s
character is faultless, but arc the class of ar
guments -used 'by-'the counsel such ns shall
condemn this unfortunate woman to a living
death y The’ counsel congratulates 'you ou
having learned that Hr. Stuart plays billiards,
and therefore asks you to consign this woman
• to an infamous reputation. ■ But' the counsel
has discovered also that the other witnesses
are scoundrels; that Bnnil has been unfortu
rate enough to go to a billiard saloon with
Stuart; that he has been .unfortunate enough
to be a personal mend of Mr. Sluari. Why. to
4rc Judge Morris, Judge Wilson, Mr. Joy’and
others; and for this la be to be called aperjured
wretch! He also attacks CoL Carpenter.
Why ? Because be has bometlmes played au
evening game of cards for ten cents the cor
ner. That be has played gun-wad poker, and
that the man who got the most gnn-wads had
to pay for the drink*. Why, the counsel, In
the rigid austerity of bis character, would con
sign some of oar best citizens to infamy. What
doe* CoL Carpenter say ? That he viaa with
Mr. Stuart from ten in tlie morning lilt laid in
the aftemooni when Stuart went to dinewith
Senator Douglas. There Mr. Ayer meets him,
and remains with him till between five ondJß.lx
o’clock. At this time Mrs. Bnrch is at Nrfli
Mathers, and going hdme with her husband to
lea. SluiTt says that he went with Senator
Douglas and wife to the theatre, and remained
there till 11 o'clock. CoL Carpenter saw him
there that evening. No time couldStuartbuvc
been with Mrs. Burch, but after dinner and be
fore be went to the theatre. Did he take ten
minutes to go down there, ten minutes to
come back, accomplish his purpose in fifteen
minutes, and be ready and prepared to go Iha
theatre? This it will be Remembered is the
first occasion of his connection with her. Mr.
Burch was home with her ut tea after six and
in the cvchlng they both Went id Chardl. The
only Intcrnl of time hid on this day not cov
ered by the evidence is the half hour between
half past six and seven.
The second time mentioned Hi this confes
sion Is the 24th Dec.; *57. They eeein to hale
abandoned it hc*r. But bow did It happen to
be written down ? Can a woman be guilty of
this terrible crime and not remember the date
under oath. This is the lost time she is said
to have been guilty. How agrees the false day
given in both confessions,with the one written
by him and the one by her? Mr. Hurnam,Mr.
Hamlin, and others, all tell you that date is n
falsehood. Mr. Burch tells in his letterto Mr.
Pruyn was the evening of the 24th of
December. How if this was a free and vol
untary confession, did U get twice putcowh
upon a date when it is shown Stuart could not
have been in the boose.
The third time set down, is of attempts, not
acts. It is said to have been when Mr. Burch
went to Burlington. He went to Burlington,
it is shown, on Monday, the 81st. Nora recol
lects that she bad broken a dish on fimiday,
ami that the next day, on tJiir. Mdiiday morn
ing, she went In to tell Mrs. Bnrch and Stuart
was there. Sbc says be did not come
there on Tuesday or Wednesday morn
ing. Margaret says be was there but once
and that be was not there Tuesday or Wednes
day. Stuart corroborates this. Wc have now
Lite dny fired. Nothing conflicts with this but
the statement of Miss Fannie Burch, who says
Mrs. Burch told her that ho was there onTuci
day morning. But she says that it was the
same morning Mrs. Burch scut up word that
Stuart was there and did not send for Lizzie.
But this is the same morning Margaret and
Nora testify to. The statement goes on to say
that she agreed that morning lolct Stuart in
that night, but bolted the door and did not let
him in. But that night she was at Boyd's
party till 12 o'clock. 00 was he. The invita
tions had been given out the week before and
they both knew it. And be stayed till late and
went borne with his wife at a late hour. Lotus
test this story of Fannie Burch further. Where
were they the next day ? On Tuesday afternoon
Mrs. Burch was driving \uin the Boyds and
they stayed and took tea with him. Stuart spent
the whole of Wednesday evening with Buml.
Let us look further, ut what really happened
Monday;it sold she expected seme one be
cause sbe was walking. That when Stuart
came, she sent word to Lizziethat Stuart had
calledanddidnotcallforhcr. This is magnified
imoawouderfulclrcumstancc. Why,no young
lady comes to a parlor unless called tor, and
upon calls being made,notice Is given os a mat
ter of convenience and ettiquetle to announce
who is called for. What further happens ?
*lhcy go into the grapery. Thu girl calls for
sumetniug, the Faruam loya call, Nora finds
h« r in the grapery, and says she is engaged or
out. And this is magnified into av\ underfill
matter. Why, the counsel knows this is the
must common thiug in the world. It seems
the Famam boys had been in the habit of call
ing so frequently, and would remain so long
that she had become annoyed by them, and
bad expressed to bur servants before, this an
noyance. She says she is out, and this Is a won
derful circumstance. But it Is said that that
morning Stuart took liberties and she wept
bitterty. Nora in the dining room, servants
all oronnd, doors all open ; and alter it, with
composure she goes. otT to visit Mbs Lizzie.
She bolted the door, Fannie Burch says. Thu
servants say that after he returned from the
party at twelve o’clock, sbe sat up and wrote
along letter 10 her mother. At this time
Fannie Burch would have you believe that she
was lying iu the bed thinking of Stuart. Stuart
says he never was there, or near there that
night. Can yon believe this part of the con
fession true?
Again, another date in the confession, when
improper advances were made by Stuart, the
•JPUi Nov., 1851), the evening of the. Historical
Society. Mr. Feck and Mr. Long show the
thing to have been impossible. A sneer is at
tempted to be made at them by the counsel,
Mr. Peek has the misfortune to he a clerk; Mr.
Long the same position. The name of Mr.
Pock and his family are to be traduced because,
he happens to know well and associate with
Mr. Long, who happens to be a clerk in
Mr. Stuart's office. 1 deem it os very
unfair to thus traduce the character of
young mm, especially when no two young
men in Chicago bear a'fairercharacter. But it
is said, they have talked together about this
matter. 1 should like to know who in Chi
cago has not. These show that Mr. Stuart
could not have been there. Fannie Burch this
time says that be was there a few minutes?
sbe had* read the testimony of those gentlemen
iu the papers.
1 have thus gone through the whole of this
confession, every date of it, aud shown it to bo
wholly false. If there is not a syllable of truth
in It, 1 think it will aid you somewhat as to
the manner in which it was obtained.
Mr. Beckwith continued his review of the
testimony of the witnesses touching in order
upon that of Mr. ihiclckc, the gardener, Lay
ton, Margaret O'Hara, Mrs. Pitney, Ucnora
Cooke and others, wh eh occupied the after
noon up to tho time of the adjournment of the
Cunjt on Wednesday evening.
THURSDAY -MORNING SESSION.
Mr. Beckwith resumed his argument at tho
opening of the Court, and continued Lis re*
view of the testimony. The space allotted to
tliis report allows only a »ke eh of Mr. Beck
with's jvcToration.
It is not necessary for me to detail further
the transactions in this unhappy house. You
will he happy to learn, gentlemen, under the
instruction of the Court, that it her Ur&t con*
fcssiuu was obtained under fear, constraint or
false hope, everything subsequent remains un
der the same ban till it is shown that that fear,
aer the same ban till it is shown i*. , *** at fcai
thit hope, has been removed. Was there m»
liaise hope. Was there uo fear. We have only
a partial account of the scene that transpired
In that room. Was that letter written in the
up ami around to ecu who arc there. After be
ing alone together, flic appears with flushed
face, hair disarranged, and collar tossed. She
sits up till midnight waiting for her nelccs to
absence of constraint. She telU Fannie to take come, lie tits up with He leaves jut»
it to him, and see and tell her bow he looked
and what ho said; to see if he looked relent*
lag. Was she not under his influence ? What
was Mr. Burch's conduct? Did he call to*
gclhcrthe family friends? Where were tho
schoolmates of her childhood t They were In
the city. Where wore those who knew her in
her hiuuicy ? They were there, the old friends.
Uot the door was bolted. Xu letter was to he
delivered but to him or Fannie; and only the,
bank customers and the lawyer were admitted.'
The next thing wo liud a bill prepared. The
Sheriff serve* a summons upon her. But uot
cuntcut, fearing she might retract, a power of
attorney Is prepared, aud counsel draw up an
answer,' aud Mr. Barch supposed when he
sent her away he had tho papers in
hand to crush this woman before she could see
a tricud she had on earth. Allow me to follow
far a moment Mrs. Burch. She is scot awa>,
and this man, overwhelmed with domestic af
fliction, brushes out her name from her trunk,
oud she is sent by another route, that she may
not see her only brother at Detroit. In the
same spirit, her portrait is paiuted out, that
she may be obliterated from the eyes and
memory of her children,telling Marcaret that
If any ouo in the house spoke of their mother
U> the children, they should be thrust into the
streets; and this is humanity. This Is Chris*

Christian character. If it Is, 1 can only say.
God deliver me from it. Looking forward to
a relenting in this heart of stone, relying yet
upon the hopes held out by him before, the
writes letters to him. She knew her heart had
been estranged by Stuart’s flattery. She told
Burch the means be used, and she says she has
dune a grievous wrong, and asks him to pray
for her.
And she writes to her Christian pastor. I shall
not arraign him. If be had done right in be
coming her accuser. If he bos done right in
not endeavoring to send bera copy of her letter,
it is a matter between him and his God. The

controversy with her clergyman.
Gentlemen, 1 have gone over this case very
hurriedly, yet 1 have occupied a larger share
of your time than 1 ought to have done. This
was demanded by the importance of this cause
to the one 1 specially represent, the. impor
tance of it to this poor heart-broken lady, the
importance of it to her children, that the hand
of infamy may not be placed upon them, the
importance of it to her aged mother and her
friends. 1 may also say, the importance of it
to the complainant, himself; for I believe,
gentlemen,' yon will confer, upon him the
greatest boon, do him the greatest favor upon
earth, to say that he shall not brand his chil
dren with infamy, to say that although he
may at one time have suspect d his wife, yet
upon further and full investigation yon arc
ready to say she is innocent. You will thus be
doing him as great a favor as one man can con
fer upon another. This, gentlemen, most be
my apology for occupying so much time.
These things 1 ask yon to take into consider*
ation in determining your yerdlot as to who

tber this lady Is guilty or innocent. The law
has said, and wisely said, that ho person t-hall
be convicted of crime until trety man of the
twelve who sit os triers shall be satisfied be :
vond a reasonable doubt that she Is guilty.
But, gentlemen, if I am not greatly mistaken
In the evidence that has been adduced, there is
not a single man of you who Is willing to say
from the evidence here given that he in his
heart and in his conscience, believes that this
woman has ever been guilty of the crime with
which she stands charged.

ARGUMENT OF MR. HOYNE.
Mr. Hoync then addressed the July.
The sympathy of all here is undoubtedly
with this unfortunate woman. I ani willing It
should be so. Bat von, gentlemen, are placed
iu a position that elevates you before the
world. This case does not die with the hour.
It has au influence on Ibc public. Is the
Sickles remedy to be understood to be the on
ly course to be pursued ? It has pained me to
tit here and hear the best citizens, the purest
girls; abused, traduced and slandered. Mr.
Burch though his wife has never given occa
sion for a single abusive charge has made
made against him.
I learn, for the first time, that he Is the rep
resentative of eveiy vice. Their attack does
not rest there. Ido not expect your sympa
thy, but I do expect Justice, and I expect to
jet it, I lave been prepared for everything.
[ understand that I have been threatened to be
driven from Chicago. Tbrfcatcned men live
long, dnd I expect to stay tbetc. I know the
power, and influence, and wealth, that makes
the pressure there. Tec counsel says he a >
pears here In behalf of the lady, the children,"'
and Mr. Coming. Whom have they attacked?
Judge Skinner and Judge Dlckev, whose repu
tations canuot betouehed. Mr. rarnam is also
altackc las one of the co-conspirators. They
hope by throe witnesses to overthrow the tes
timony of eighteen witnesses. The gentle
man, finally, though reluctantly, consented to
spare Mf. Patterson. Mh Patterson has reason
to thank God fur that, at least, These three
witnesses arc Stuart, Burril, and R. V. Carpen
ter. Stuart's reputation isnationoL Llkethe
Juggernaut of old, he has crushed in his ca
reer families after families. Burril Is his pimp
and procurer, fabricating evidence for defence.
Carpenter says he is my enemy. Politics cre
ate strange associates, and I used to meet him
iu that wav. On his own testimony, he is a
vagrant political Colonel, brought here from
Nebraska to sustain this case, 1 must express
my astonishment at the indiscriminate attack
made upon every witness, male or female,
by them I owe a tribute to Fannie Burch,
for her intelligent appearance upon the stand.
Did she pome here as the purchased tool ? It
takes age aud vice to manufacture that. Her
whole statemant was susceptible of corrobora
tion or contradiction, febe has never been
contradicted, but in every Instance corrobo
rated. Fairness and candor spoke in her very
face. Nature Imd stamped there the impress
of truth. And vet be attacks this girl, appear
ingliorc unwillingly to testily.
One important fact is admitted by the coun
sel, more than half proving the case. He tells
you this wife has wronged ucr husband. lou
only need to be satisfied by other diets. Sbc
has the character of yourself and children in her
keeping, and where a woman undertakes to
parley with her honor, Is lost. To hesitate,
to doubt, is to be damned; Where is a wife’s
honor when she is alienated from her husband
and seeks stolen interviews with another sbc
prefers ? To that extent the admission of the
counsel goes. She has been regardless of her'
trust, and goes so far downward in her course
to ruin that there is no return. And yet they
turn around, and heap up epithets, and pour
thu vilest abuse upon the compla uaut I ever
beard in a court of justice. Wc thought they
had mme to defend her, but they came to al
tackhlm. , , ,
it becomes an important inquiry In a case of
this kind, to know the position of the parlies.
Circumstances must not be isolated, but must
be weighed together. But the counsel seeks
to consider each by itself, and argue that no
one alone proves the case. Wo are trying to
ascertain if a certain fact hits been committed.
This Is peculiarly a crime of sccrcsy, aud needs
to be established by circumstantial evidence.
It i* the moral law of the universe, that the
guilty heart cannot retain Us secret. It is
restless while screening it, and, like the ocean,
mist cast up the petrified matter. This poor,
guilty woman, with her heart lull of guilt,
could not but cast uni the foul burthen when
charged with her crlnm.
Tile rule of law is, that there needs only to
be shown the disposition of the parties to com
mit the crime, and an opportunity for its com
mission.
The Court adjourned.

Mr. Hoync resumed his address to the Jury:
1 propose In the few remarks that 1 shall
make to you, to speak as if Stuart’s testimony
avo* not In the case. When the facts of inti
mace occurring In ’57 till the spring of 'SS are
taken together, there can be no doubt as to Us
decree. Living iu the abode of luxury, in fash
ionable society, Mrs. Burch was not so ex
posed to influences of temptation as those in
humbler walks of life. At the lime of their
first acquaintance Stuart had a reputation for
those arts so dangerous to women. Attorney
of the Illinois Central Railroad, supposed to
be occupied in business, wc find him at the
house in buoiucss hours whenever Mr. Bnrch
was in the citv,and there in the evening when
Mr. Burch was absent. She was Informed and
cognizant that he was a roue and libertine. He
is sick at the hotel, and every delicacy is sent
to him by Mrs. Burch, It would appear that
she called to sec him at that time. What

whose time would be supposed to be occupied
by the weighty’bnslncss of a great corporation,

hundred and twenty of our best and most per*
manent houses, In every department of the
trade of onr city, It’s object, os stated in the
call, is “to consult as to what legislation is
necessary in view of tbe financial and general
condition of our State.”
It will be one of the most important meet
ings of its class ever held in this city, and if

permanent value to the mercantile interests of
the Northwest. The call is imposing and sig

Illinois Temperance tnlon,
This body dosed yesterday its annual two
days* session, in this cily. at the Young Men’s
Christian Booms in M. E. Church Block. Her.
P. Judson presided, Rcr. W, F. Stuart acting
as Secretary. Among the business transacted
was the adoption of several changes in the
olQccrs of the Union, and the appointment of
an Executive Board for the ensuing year as
follows;

Staxtary —A. Kenyon.
Treasurer—JL S. Wells.
The Board consists of forty members to
gether with the President, the Secretary and
the Treasurer. Some changes were made in
the officers of the Union. The working force
of the body now consists of an Executive
Committee, appointed by the Board, including
the President, the Secretary, and the Treasu
rer.
Chicago is henceforth to be the head-quar
ters of the Union, and it* energy more con
centrated than ever heretofore. The main
business of the Union at its present meeting
has been to mark oat more definitely the field
of Its operations and the line]of Itspolicy: in
attempting to rid the great State 01 Illinois of
that almost unparalleled evil and source of
poverty, wretchedness and crime, iuianperana.
To accomplish this, the resolutions look to
this universal diffusion of correct information
throughout the State on the physical, social,
economical and moral influences of the sole
and use of all intoxicating drinks. It is also
proposed that the friends of temperance at
tempt to secure the passage of a law more ef
fectually to circumscribe and ultimately sup
press the traffic in liquors as a beverage. The
Union feel sure that the coming year maybe
fruitful of good, resulting from a judicious
and earnest use of the pulpit, the lecture and
the press, as auxiliaries In this great work.—
Financial troubles affect this body as well as
others; yet strong hope is indulged that rea
sonable success may attend Its efforts. Gener
al harmony and good feeling was manifest
throughout the session, all feeling conscious
that the association Is yet to bo potent as an
agency of good to humanity.

Phelps Prepared Cider— Editors Tribune:
Since the adAcrtfeemcnt of “Phelps’ Prepared
Cider ” appeared In yoar columns, we have re
ceived a number of Inquiries about the term
“prepared.” Some suppose it to mean a spu
rious article manufactured I rum acid, molasses
and water. It is due to Jlr. Phelps to state
that his eider is nothin? but the pure Juice, and
the very tinest quality. The preparation is
simply to keep it from soaring; end it accom
plishes the object for which it is designed and
adds to its llavor. We will warrant it just
what we advertise it to be—“the purest and
best in market” Hobbs, Ouhiast, «fc Co.

CSTGo to John Jones's. 110 Dearborn street, anil
get yonr clothes cleaned and repaired. They will bo
well done, and at prices to salt the limes.
A Good Istmtjiect.—The young men of our
CiSrcan make no belter investment of their timo
and money, than by attending Bryant. Bell A Strat
ton's Commercial College.
This valuable institution is now open day and
evening, and those who arc occupied daring the day
can complete a course by attending the evening
sessions.
Tns Car Baooxd.—To protect ourselves from
the impositions of those who assert they havo
Doteneri Kerosene on sale at one dollar per gallon,
warranted, Ac.. Ac., and at the same time palm off
other brands of Kerosene or even Coal Olla for the
bat Kerosene, we have decided to sell onr Down
er's Kerosene at retail at a small advance over cost;
therefore consumers that wish to be sere and get
the best Kerosene made la the United States at the
price of the second quality, will do well to bring
their cans to the Lamp and Oil Emporium, 122
South Clark street. de4*lot
D. B. De Lied & Co.’s Saix-nitcs.—Thank
▼onr stars, if yon are superstitious enough,—hot
be glad, and express your thankfulness that yon
can*proccre from your grocer a perfectly pure and
reliable article of Saleiatua. Be convinced, by a
trial, of the truth of our remarks when wc say that
it la just the quality that has so long been desired
by housekeepers. Be Laud £ Co.’a Chemical Sal
