The speaker had lived in Georgetown all his
life, and expected to die there but as an honorable

about the political opinions of the prisoner and
that he did know that he at one time tried to cut
down Democratic pole in that town, and thzt on

This election was a large element in this case,
and II would come into the trial despite the efforts
OF the prosecution to exclude it. We were not
strangers here to election riots, even those of 80
stuPendous character as to require the President
OF the United states To call out the military TO put

TO u.s. who came here for purposes Of pllage and

Georgetown on that day.
The Court decided that the question proposed to
be asked was clearly not admissible at this stage
OF the case IL was just such point as the Court
had decided long ago, in the celebrated case Of
George a. Gardner.
The witness was then placed on the stand again
and stated that he saw at Reavers office a good

THE MAY BALL.-The Assembly Rooms last
night were thrOnged with a bright and happy
concourse of the fair and the gallant, the Young
and the light-hearted. The ceremonies of the,
evening were conducted I'm style that reminded
many parent present of the Nav balls of tbe
olden time, when every Westinghouse was wont
TO anticipate with glee the annual advent of
Carusis festival About half past eight the. grand

her, gracefully assembled the throne and took her

the Queen with measured tread, and the Ceremony

| Ano her young man, German, explained to
the Squire that il was impossible for the parties TO
live together happily.
IL appears that the woman had been married to

say whether Smith ran away from her, or she from
| him. However, they separated. She afterwards
married again, and then Kuhns surprising her a
widow, married her about three years ago, and
