LudierOus Scene at the "COnspiratOrs'
Trial.

LudierOus Scene ut the "COnspira1Ors''
Trial,
A correspondent of the World relates the
following scene which occurred st the As
ssssinstion trisl in Washington:
t'0ne of the most painful, Il might say
disgusting) features in connection with the
wretches, is the daily attendance of crowds
of women, dressed in the gsrb of ladies.
From the opening to the closing of the court
they crowd the benches provided for the
spectators, and even the chairs of the
shoulder-strapped judges and attending
counsel are not free from the intrusion of
crinoline. During the few moments was
in the court room l saw one of those deli
catecreAtures faint away and was borne out
in the arms of stslwsrt gentleman. Res
foration was applied and she soon re-
covered. No sooner had she regsined her
strength aad consciousness than she re-
turned to the courtroom, and in q few
moments afterwards l saw her again in
the arms of her stslwart attendant, having
all the appearance of being under q second
fit of fsinting. Whether she made third
attack upon the foul atmosphere of the
cold room am unable 10 say, but pre-
sums IT is most likely she did. And what
think you was the nature of the testimony
which ravished the ear of this fair and
fainting one, and seemed to hold captive
the mass of crinoline, which hung with
avidity upon every word that fell from the
witness box2 The witnesses are testifying
as TO the condition of the bowels Of the
prisoner Psyne The polite Doctor COM
nE5nced his examination with some hesita-
ticn; but when he looked around, and
found that not ghost of blush was seen
on the cheek of any of this auditory, he re-
gained his compcsure, and probed the sub
ject TO the bottom.
Should General Sherman be nominated
by the Democratic party for Governor of
Ohio-an event which we deem 10
be as unlikely as that he would resign his
present position to accept the nomination
I'VE shall see him as profusely bespstter-
ed with abolition abuse as any candidate
who has been before the people for an i'm
portsnt Office within the past four years.
No services, however eminent, rendered to
the country, by any man, however pure
his character may be, will shield the per-
son rendering them from slsnder and de-
famation by the abolition press, unless the
services we're offered in the name Of that
party Chicago Times.
The Times judges Union papers by q
standard of its own. Its description sp-
plies exactly tothe treatment which an
other gallant and deserving soldier, Gen
ersl Cox, is now receiving from Demo-
cratic papers, while he is absent at his
post of honor and danger.
