The Van Ness Case. The Court, this morn
inc, delivered It's opinion on the matter under
consideration ycsteftay-the admisSlhlhty OF
evidence to prove the general bad character OF
the plaintiff Tor a series of years, antecetent to
the circumstances which gave rise TO the aIIeg-
ed marriage of Gen. Van Ness and Mrs Con-
nor. The Court stated, in effect, that EVIL
dence as 10 badness of character might be
given.
Mr.. II. Y. Hill testified that some IS years
ago Mr.. Connor was married to tho plaintiff II
was said, generally, that it was her want OF
chastity that induced her husband to leave her,
and every one SAID alterSg ards that she cOntinu-
ed such course OF life.
Capt Goddard has known the plaintiff for
number OF years, and always heard that she
was a woman of doub full character.
Mr.. Browning had heard general expressions
preiudiclal to the character of the palnt'tt, but
net from those residing in the Immediate neigh
borhood. Those persons did not speak OF their
own knowledge, but merely on hearsay.
Other wtne SEES we've examined.
Mr.. Bradley, for the defence, read the evil
dence from Gen V. Ms papers, showing that
eleven days after the alleged marriage in this
case, he contracted with Mr. Keluger for the
rent of one Of the lots adjoinrng the house &C.
cupied by Mrs. Conner, with u view OF show
ing that that property had not been given her
BY Gen Van Ness, as was alleged.
Mr. Kelinger was called TO the stand, and
testified to the fact of his bargain with Gen,
Van Ness, and that he had never heard from
the plaintiff of any claim of hers to the pro-
perty until after the Generals death.
The deed executed by Gen. Van Ness was
permitted to be given as evidence.
Mr.. VIM Easily, one of the jurors, testified
that at the time Conner, the husband of the
plaintiff, went of, it was reported that his wife
left him because of ill-trcatment and dseust
inflicted on her by him. The first work Con-
nor did after his marriage was for witness. Al
to his opinion ofthe plaintiff, he dio not know
how it came to be untaVorabe, for he had
never, until lately, heard anybody talk abou
her. He might have imblbed a similar opin
ion of other poor boarding house keepers abou
here
Mr. S. Stttinus, railroad agent, was cale'
by the counsel for the plaintiff, and was about
to show from his books that Gen. Van Mes
went TO the North on certain OCCASIONS; also
that Mrs. Conner went and returned.
Mr., Bradley objected to the books as evi
dencc in chief, instead Of rcbutting testl
mony.
Discussion cnsued, but the Court reserved il
opinion until Monday.
Forty-onc witnesses have been examined b.
the counsel for the plaintiff, and sixty for tn
defence. G.

EL DIR. DOW has probably haG more practice and
experience in curing diseases Of private nature
than generally fails 10 the lot of any one physician;
and within the last four years. he has doubt cured
more of those difficult cases of private disease such
rs require practical experience, than all the physi-
clans IN Baltimore The reason is thai he app les
himself to The duties OF his pro ession with unrIng
zeal and industry IN the investigation the disorders
10 which he has cOnfnrd his whole attention, and
has by this means discovered that the old fashioned
mode OF dnct0TIng symptoms only, does not succeed
