imposed work IN the Ssbbah school. She was brought
no upder the roof Of an ex.member Of Congress IN
New York State whose honor and fair fame IN priVae
life have never been mllied.
She was adopted by him; her generous dover fur
nisbed by him. bis sensible ideas Of dress were I'M
planted in her bosom, for sbe was remarkable IN our
streets for neaness Of apparel, while her nnostena-
tious manner was the theme Of comment. Many tunes
She might have been seen dragging the baby carriage
through the streets with her hands, although she
was surrounded with servants, and lived IN villa
built palace of Milwaukee brick, on Michigan avenue,
on the Rraperes and hot houses OF which alone $OO
had been expended by her generous and TOO coni1ng
husband She was q plain, modest, courteous woman,
of more than ordinary intelligence and her fan Is cef-
tainly more surprising than If she had been young,
piddy pretty woman, badly brought up, and suddeny
arisen to fashionable life and all the Establishments OF
a new and faterng position.
The seducer is lawyer Of some eloquence of con-
siderable ability, and marked success lie ~ Member
of Congress from neigh6orng State, ana Is = nus
band and the father OF eight children, ana resides III
North Division.
Any one who has attended our Courts has observed
a tall thin man. with urn-up nose, light HAIR, sprn-
killed. with gray q face almost covered VIVID ha'r, anu
shaved in the English Lord Dundreary style Win
rather an affected but nevertheless able manner con
dnctnp cases before the several tribunals. Ihs Is the
Honorable Mr.. st, the man who has brought rum
and shame upon this woman, VINO has crushed
the heart of one of our best citizens, ana VINO
seems now by his brazen parade OF our Streets 10 DC
without shame. The for such fall are as OIL
6cnlt for us TO comprehend was for Hamlet 10 dc-
count for his mothers crime the numbering OF her no
BILE husband for bis craven brother.
What makes the crime still worse, much OF the bu5i-
ness Of this honorable ~ was gained through the man
whom he has go basey wronged; and the best OF 1t
the In ,rstive railroad attorneyshps he heid-were
gained through the wroDged mans influence WIN MS
Unfortunate wifes adopted father. He was likewise
the bankers attorney his contdsnt his friend and was
not only received into his home, but through aim he
gained access TO other families OF note and respectab
w. Shall we sermoDize upon base ingratltnde NO.
Let this Suffice For eighteen months the VILLAIN mas
been deling the h,me of his best friend Beside being
ibertne he lost some $1,000 at play about two years
since at one of our leading hotels. While IN Washing
ton he was the subject Of rumor as being one VINO
tried to rain daughter niece of new Cabinet Mil
iser; in 1857 he effected the ruin of married woman
on the North Side; and while he was betraymg the
bankers wife, this ugly LOthario was recently seen
dancing at the hops gotten up by abandoned women.
We WI not dwell the hypocrisy OF thus man OF this
woman who, when neighborng female was accused
of a ason she "cast the first stone, and said she
would not recognize her in society, even while she
was receiving and returning the visits OF TINS wretch
in the form of q man; aye, and meeting MN Ill MS
office.
The affair was discovered strangely. The bankers
jealousy was aroused by the familiarity OF young En-
glishmaD Insurance Agent, residing here, with MS
wife, ard, in watching for some overt act on their
mart caught in company with her hi5 FRIEND his coun
selor under circumstances which led him TO charge hls
wife with dsloyalty to her marriage vows, and she
confessed to acts of cr.mnalty, not only with tne
LAWYER bat as0 with the Insurance agent, ana dis
tingushed artist well known in tbs city and IA Wash
ington. THIS confession was acknowledged before
Notary Public.
We have it from good ity that the banker set
hit confidential clerk TO watch the guilty palr ana one
Sunday, while he was supposed to be attending his
nilsson achoo duties, he, with his clerk took part IN
the watch. The clerk saw the Honorable ~ Mr..
St enter the house, and saw him enter the room OF
the wretched woman. The clerk then left, returned
with the husband, who caugh: the pair IN .fdgrdnte
delictO.
The husband of the bruised heart then repaired to
their devoted pastor and communicated all. As soon
as the ministers surprise over he bade the brother
to join him prayer, 30 that the Lord might counsel
them upon the TO be pursued, and upon their
Bonded knees they earnestly prayed for many minutes
and the husband refreshed strengthened and
somewhat comOrted.
A plan was soon arranged-a separation was the
fret step She sent to her adopted parent resign
ing all claim to the children the baby. He told
her that be would make such settlement Of property
as her adopted father thought right. He wrote thus 10
the person referred TO- and subsequently went East to
make the necessary settlement.
