THE INNOCENCE OF THE GARDEN has
been reproduced lately by some of the
spiritualists of New Jersey. A believer
in that theory, named VIM. MoEwen,
has been on trial at Newark for the indie
cent exposure of his person. One of the
witnesses was a Miss Reeves, hand
some girl of 10, modest in her demeanor,
and heretofore of good character. Much
of her testimony was SO indelicate that
it cannot be given to the public, but e.
nough was testified by her to show that
her mother and the defendant and her
self exhibited themselves naked on New
Years night. In exhibiting themselves
naked they followed the command of the
spirits that the spirits said unless she,
the witness, showed herself at the win
dow naked, her mother must gointo the
street naked, and that she, obeying the
scriptures which say ''children obey your
parents" did as her mother commanded
In SO stripping, she testified they acted
on the principle that to the pure all
things are pure. She said McEwen had
addressed in her presence, aud that of
her mother, that the three had repeated
ly slept together, bat not an indecent
word had been uttered, nor an improper
act done, and that McEwen slept in the
middle the object in doing this was to
cracify the flesh and show example OF
perfect purity. The prosecuting attor-
ney secuted the idea of purity under
such circumstances, and was met by a
proposition from McEwen, to prove his
faith by his works in open court, if al
lowed to..do SO, by putting himself I'M
der those identical circumstances. The
court very modestly declined the test.

DIRTY WoRK-A. II. Byington Esq,
one of the Tfibwse's Washington letter
writers, and editor of the Norwalk CT,
Gazette, thus alludes to a transaction of
the occupant of the White House:
About the meanest of the dirty things
that prince of demagogues at the White
House has yet concocted, was his impos-
ing upon the credulity, if not stupidity,
of the Associated Press correspondent,
the tissue OF falsehoods telegraphed from
the =Capitalah-Thursday night last, to the
effect that Commissioner Rollins had rec
onmended to office nearly all the horde
of whisky thieves appointed to the reve-
nue. service by Andrew Johnson: . No
purer, devoted or self sacrificing officer
serves the American Government than
E. A Rollins, and if he could have his
way Andrew .Johnson's thieves would
soon bite short rations.
This is tavorite mode ofattack on the
part of A. J. when he desires to injure
one in the public estimation.

Thomas, giving an account of the pro-
ceedings connected with the military
arrest and subsequent discharge by q
United states COurt of w. A. Miliikin, a
citizen of Tennessee, and psToled rebel
soldier, Charged with having violated his
parole. Maj Gen. Thomas telegraphed
TO Gen. Grant, 10 August last, as fol-
lows:
Complaints are constantly made to
me Of the oppression and maltreatment
of Union men and negroes by returned
parOled rebels. Am I authorized to ar
rest and punish them for violation Of
their paroie?p
To which telegram Gen. Grant re-
piled:
tect Union men from the violence of
parO!ed rebels, arrest the guilty for the
violation Of their paroles"
Gen. Thomas addressed an order to tie
Commander of the District of the Ten
nessee, directing him to cause the
patOled rebel soldier who armed with
revolver, approached Mr.. John Bann in
a threatening manner, to he arrested for
violation of his parole, and be confined

mission could be appointed for his trial.
Be ore this was done q writ Of hd6edS
corpus was taken out by his friends, and

charged the accused on the ground that
he had not violated his parole, thereby
preventing, Gen. Thomas says, the very
action wished for-namely, trial 10y
some competent authority for the crime
com mitted. Gen. Thomas adds:
at is earnestly requested that, if posi-
bic, the case of the question at issue in
this case be brought before the Supreme
Court, that it may be decided by that
tribunal. IL this is not practicable, it Is
recommended that Congressional action
be applied for. 1 am repeatedly appealed

make sure that the collection Will be

to say, on motion OF Senator Drake, that
no further provision Of the law should be
required 20 authorize the collection after
this year. Further, provision was
added exemptiug cotton imported be-
