There is no use trying to make people

some of his stories were anything but re-

Lincoln displayed unseemly levHy on the

"The charge that President Lincoln in

nave been malignant fabrication, / have
long sought for evidence to prove the fact
Very lately there has providentally come
into my hands the most complete and in.
contestible yindication tof Mr.. Lincoln,s
character and am prepared to prove the
origin and authorship of the calumny. Its
anthor was Mr.. Joseph Scovill, the New
York correspondent during the war Of the
London Herald and London Standard.
whose letters underline signature of Man
haitian will be long remembered by the
American people for their virulent disloy-
atty and perversion of all facts which IA
vored the northern cause. Two or three
weeks after the battle Of Antietam, in one
of Mr.. Scovilis gossiping London letters,
he mentioned the fact Of Mr.. Lincoln's
visiting the battlefield, and therein invent
cd and wrote the SANDER since republished
so many times by Mr.. Lincoln's enemies.
Reference TO the newspapers Of that date
will show shat me first time the story was
printed in this country, it was as an ex-
tract from a letter TO the London Herald
by the New York correspondent Man
haitian. Mr.. E. II. Jenny, well-known
citizen of New York city, met Mr.. Scovill
in Cartons bookstore shortly after the
publication of the letter containing this
charge. He said TO him, Scovill, how
came you to write that nonsense to the
London press about President Lincoln at
Antietam = Why replied Scovil, sit
was intended onlyias joke. / received,
he continued, ten pounds sterling for that
letter. | have to put just such stuff as

afterward, and has thus on record the very
words of the conversation"

A Laughable Incident.

AL the recent murder trial at Oakaloosa
all or nearly all the witnesses for the pros-
eeution were OF that class known as 'un-
willing, they having all been more or less
remotely connected with the tran saction
for which the defendants were tried. One
Jacob Kearns, a german of Brown county
was put upon the stand to testify on the
part OF the prosecution, aud the States
Attorney had carried the witness up to
The time when the officer in charge of the
deceased was halted by the mob, when he
asked:
When you got up to the crowd, what
were they doing?'
i dinks did not answer dat question
Ihe attorney appealed to the court, and
the court at Hngth explained to the wit
ness his right in the case, and finally d.
rected the witness TO answer the question
and it was repeated with great earnestness
by the prosecuting attorney, who thought
he was on track of some important fact.
when you come up to the crowd what
did you see them doing?'
/ was one of dat crowd myself, and
dinks was to blame, too
The court again, more elaborately than
before, explained TO the witness that if he
was only spectator and did not partici.
pate in the doings of the crowd, an an
swer to the question could do him no harm
and after that patient inquiry directed this
witness that be need not answer.
The prosecuting attorney, who, by the
way was Ross Burns of Topeka, then took
another beat and showed BY the witness
himself that he came up to the crowd only
as spectator; and then again asked:
when you came up to the crowd what
were they doing 2
Il don't like to answer dat /; l am afraid
| criminal mineself.'
1he attorneys on either side had oil eacf
refusal to answer in long arguments for
and against the answer.
The court again in very patient man
ner questioned the witness and then di-
rected him that he must answer the ques-
tion.
Ross Burns, with CLEAN of triumph
in his eyes, half rising from his seat to
catch the whole answ ,vehemently asked :
when you got to the crowd, wnat were
they doing?'
The court and audience maintained
perfect silence 10 catch the answer. The
witness with the expression of stoiid in
difference characteristic of his nation,
replied:
Nothing
The burst of laughter was tremendous
and for a time perfectly irrepressible.
