The SicIkIes Case.
WASHINGTON, April

w NhehlNEIoNi ApIll So
II is in contemplation on the part of the
defense to agree to dispense with summing
up speeches on both sides, and to let the
case go to the Jury after the evidence is
closed. The offer is made by the defence,
and will probably be accepted by the other
side. 1t would be a gratifying instance of
self-denial, on the part Of the two counsel for
the defense, Messrs. Chiffon and Brady, to
whom the summing up is committed, and
would seem to be prudent move in the in.
terest Of Sickles. The counsel for defense
feel some delicacy in making the offer, but
think it possible the suggestion may come
from the Jury, in which case they will as
sent.
As evidence rebutting the insanity
claim, Charles Lewis, one Of the Official Re-
p0rters of the House of Representatives, was
examined. He testified that Mr.. Sickles
was present and spoke in the House on Fri
day and Saturday, February 26th and 9th.
He had examined the proceedings of the
House for these days, and found that Mr.. S.
had voted on the last vote On Friday, which
was about 8 O'Clock, and he also appeared to
have voted on the last vote Saturday. The
corrections in his Fridays speech were made
by himself.
Chiffon, for the defense, said they were
willing to submit the case without argu-
ment
Ould, for prosecution, said that when the
law as applicable to this case shall have been
declared by the Court, then only would the
prosecution assent to the proposition, but the
case had not yet reached that point.
Chiffon would withhold his reply till the
prosecution announce their evidence conclu-
ded.
Carlisle submitted Instructions to counsel
for defense, who will prepare counter instruc-
tions to be argued tomorrow.

Mistaken in Histories.

Late numbers of BtacLwood have contained
some very able articles, supposed to be from
the pen of Sir Archibald Alison, containing
very severe criticisms on the historian Ma
caulay, pointing out glaring instances where
the lattor has perverted history. giving Il
false coloring to leading events, and detam-
ing public men. On the other hand Frazer's
Magazine contains an article making most
unsparing assault on Alison's History 81
Europe, consisting mainly Of plumbers taken
from all parts of the book and nothing can
be grosser and more absurd than the mis-
takes which are here brough hit out in strong
relief. Some reviewers suggest Maeaulay
az the author of the article. After Perusal
of the two criticisms, one is at a loss to know
what to believe and whom to trust, and Is
almost tempted to doubt the existence OF truth
in historic guise-N. \. Courier.

Swindling in New York.

The police were called upon to-day to take
cognizance of another case Of swindling a
young school teacher. The story is rather
queer one, and many be cpitoinized as fol-
lows,-Young lady, who is accomplished,
beautiful, etc., yesterday saw an advertise
ment in the papers for school teacher to
90 South; inquire of a Southern gentleman,
named Bruce, at certain establishment in
Broadway. The Enquiry" was made, and
the young lady's arrangements were salts
factory. Bruce then persuaded her to send
her baggage to the Clinton Place Hotel,
where himself was staying, preparatory to
their departure for the sunny South, by the
first train in the morning. BY some extra
ordinary arrangement, which has yet TO be ex-
planned, the parties both occupied the same
apartment during the night. On getting
ready to leave the house, Bruce solicited o
lone of money from the young lady to pay
their bill, saying he was just going to the
bank to have check cashed for $500, when
he would pay her back. The money was
given, as likewise her consent to have her
trunk containing sundry valuablesl sent
over to Jersey City ito be in readiness for
the cars
Miss -, after waiting patiently for sew
eral hours for Bruce, began to suspect that
she had been victimized. and thereupon, with
tears in her eyes, waited upon the magistrate
at the City Hall Police Court, and told her
story. The poor girl seemed to be half fran
tic with grief. A couple of the sharpest de-
tectives were ordered to track out tho scoun-
drel Bruce. and ifpossible bring him to JUS
tice.-N. \. Express.

KimbalI,. spsseh to the Mormons.

The Valley Tan, of the 10th of August,
has the following sketch Of Kimballs address
before the Saints:
Send on your armies, they can do no
harm. God will look after the welfare Of this
people, and shield them from all injury
Let YOUR armies do their best-their "purti-
est"-they can't effect any thing.
respect officials who perform their official
duties as they should, and leave the Mormon
people alone; but how can | respect my enc
mics? How can respect a Judge who does
his best to injure innocent people? | know
what they want; they want to nab Brigham
Young, then they want me and others. -
They will nab him, too, when God wants them
To: but God won't let them nab him, and
they can't nab me. (Laughter.) | fear
them about as much as a pis-ant; not quite
so much either, for pis-ant will bite my
leg once in while | am the son of Il rev.
dictionary sire, who struggled for the liberty
of this country, and am going to have rell-
gious freedom. ! have always observed the
laws, and mean to be protected by them III
nv religious belief, the same rs the people
of New England are. AS they treat us they
will be treated. The United States will sec
something worse than we ever saw, before
fifteen years-see it from the head Of the gov
eminent down. Famine upon famine, mob
after mob, civil discord from one end OF the
country to the other terrible whirlwinds aud
swift destruction will be their certain doom.
The country has done some fighting but it
can't beat M"rmonism. There are 1000 eld-
ers in foreign lands preaching Mormonism--
nearly all foreigners. There are ~, or 80
Or 90 organized quorums of Seventies. Sup
pose they kill all the members of this church
but IN elder. From that small seed our prn-
ciplcs would again be given to the world and
our cause prosper like the Canada thistle
When they persecute US, it is like breaking
mustard Stalk-the stroke only causes an in
crease by more thoroughly scattering the seed.
Speaking Of thistleS reminds me of II bright
idea of Greeley's. lie thought it would be
u wise notion to SOW Canada thstles all along
the plains, between here and the States, To-
feed stock upon. Why that would Kill all
the cattle with the bloody murrain. and prick
us to death. So much for Grecley's Juig-
ment. What fruitful imagination he must
have lie is the greatest liar on the face OF
the earth. Why, bless your soul, he is the
father of all liars. lie will 90 to he'll, and
be the father liars, there. Amen. Amen

Mr.. J. Baker Thompson, who was last
session one of the teachers at the Charlottes-
Vile Baptist Female Institute, has accepted
the Presidency of newly instituted College
Mt Little Rock, Arkansas. The Advocate
saws Mr.. Vim. Bronaugh, who was also Il
teacher ut The same Institute, will accompa-
nv Mr.. Thompson and will occupy the po-
s;tion of one OF the professors in the same
College.
The Charlottesville Advocate says, there Is
every reason to believe that the approaching
session of the University of Va, will be
more largely attended than at any previous
session. Already are all the dormltorles on
the Lawn and in the new buildings, and
MANY rooms at the outside boarding houses,
engaged for the next session.
There are at present in the State Penitcn-
tiarv 2S3 convicts-l7 of whom are females.
This is the largest number OF females that
has been there for many years ut one time.
The average number of prisoners for the past
twelve months. has been 30. During the
same period, but two have died.
The Rev. A. +. Dickinson has declined
