Domestic DiGculty--The Ascending Terp-
sichorenn Husband to suffer Tor the Seduc.
ton Of His Wife's Granddaughter.
Another chapter in this extraordinary marital case
has been opened. The Wondering embers created
by misplaced confidence, by ingratitude and dire
vilIany are bursting the bands that pride and station
welded about the once liberal heart Of Mrs.
Buchgani, nee Mrs. General Eaton, nee Mrs. Timber
lake, nee Miss Margaret O'Niel and he who welded
her in her days OF beauty and accomplishments
Antonio Buchigani-is feeling the rod OF chastse
ment for his sinful acts OF omission and commission
regarding her directly, and also for his greater
crime, the seduction of Miss Emily Randolph, his
wife's granddaughter.
IT'S familiar story how Mrs. Eaton, the boosted
beauty of Washington in the days OF the immortal
Jackson, because OF her genial graces and acknow-
edged sweetness was the cause OF malicious impu-
tations that occasOned Cabinet disruption and how
the arstocratic circles there excluded her from the
golden mean of their evel and 1t ia also matter of
history how Jackson further espoused her cause as
to batter down all the scandal and obterate all the
jealousies then existing against her. BY the same
friendship that actuated this great act Of
kindness General Eaton was sent 10 Madrid
as United States Minister, his wife leading life OF
pleasure until he died. Upon her return the great
troubles OF the life Of this beauty began. They have
been fully told. II was the alliance with the young
Italian handbook dancing master then at washing
ton. Antonio Buckingham This Is ali known, but
how he won the confidence OF her who was old
enough to be his mother rather than wife is yet
Of the mysteries OF human nature; yet gradually he
fascinated, battered and gained her affections until
the lady who was the partner of one who had nled
the highest positions in the nations trust fell into
the meshes woven by villanOus, unprincpled adj
venturer, and who, but for her foolish nberality,
would still, probably, have been selling images
through the streets OF Washington or teaching dane
ing to pupils, had lie been lucky enough to find them.
The next act in this drama is also familiar to the
public--that after Buchgan1 had, through scheem-
ing partner, obtained control Of his wifes entire
estate, which was Of princely value, was to add to
the wickedness already against him by planning the
seduction of Miss Emily Randolph, grand
daughter and young lady OF exceeding loneliness
and accomplishments. The morbid affection this
lady mad ever felt Tor him made this matter OF com
parative ease and soon it was contaminated. With
The estate and this charming lady under his control
the ingenious Italian left the country in company
with Emily, and squandered the former in riotOus
living. This much again for the retrospect excep-
Canada, they embarked In a common business.
Buchlgani's presence in New York few days
since for the purpose Of obtaining some $4,000 MS
portion, 1t is said Of smuggling operation. klnded
anew the old flame of revenge In the breast Of his
aged and lawful wife, who has been resident here
summary arrest, and when taken before a police
magistrate his entering into bonds for the payment
OF weekly stipe0d of $40 for her support In her
| aged days His reluctance to extend this support,
when IL was known Buchigani worth several
with the charming Miss Randolph, kndled to still
greater intensity the fire OF vindctiveness that was
then developed, ana yesterday the opening OF
another chapter the beginning OF additional pro-
ceedings were instituted 10 still further punish this
shrewd, active wanderer. The facts are these:--
Hardly had Justice Dodge OF the jefferson Market
Police Court yesterday despatched the morning re-
turns OF the various police stations throughout his
district, embracing acts OF all possible petty nature,
when the tall form OF the aged Mrs. Buchl.
gam, her face wearing sad expression
approached the railing before the Justice in
company wiO Mr. Janss L. Morgan her counsel.
and through him asked that her ASCENDING husband
be arrested for the grave offence OF abduction, the
aluring from her home and her friends her grand
daughter, Emily Randolph and that he be punished
as the law OF the State Of New York directN such
misdemeanors In an affidavit presented II is told
that this young lady, during the year 1866 and long
resided with complainant in this city, was supported
by her, but In the month OF October OF said year
was wilfully, maliciOusy and wrongfuy inviegled,
entced and taken away to Italy by Buchigani,
where she lived IN open prostitution with him for
the period OF one year or more; that she had been
girl OF previous chase character and by this action
| she had lost her good name fame and position in
society. In addition to these legal details, enough
to backen beyond hope of redemption the career OF
this man, II was told TO the earnestly listening Judge
how that the brothers and sisters OF the abducted
lady were now residing In TINS CITY, and the history
Of her shame again publicly told made deeper and
trouble.
Justice Dodge AT once, when the details OF this sad
and wrongful act, made worse 10y Buchlgapi's SEEM
ing heartlessness ia reducing his wife to beggary
shame and disgrace AT once issued a warrant for
his arrest and ere now he may he la the clutches OF
strong hands that VIII 81 least make him cxpiaie
one or his grea' crimes.
