The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-05-19

year ago, IN Sarcoxle, Missouri, c0urted and
married Miss Fullerton, daughter of a
respectable widow lady of that village. He.
had with him sickly looking boy called
4 Tommy, for whom he manifested great at
tachment. They lived in the village
Hutton, his young bride, and Tommy
until about a month ago, when, at the re-
quest of Hutton, Mrs. Fullerton and Tommy
started with him on trip to Ohio on bust
ness.
Arrived at Sedalia, Hutton procured q
power Of attorney, with which he returned
alone to Sarcoxie, and by virtue Of the writ
ing took possession of Mrs. Fullerton's pro-.
perry, and commenced selling the same.
Suspicion was excited. His answers to
questions as to Mrs. Fullerton's where
abouts were unsatisfa ctory. He was arrested
after on exciting chase, and, through letters
found on his person, attention was directed
to certain house in st. Louis. There the
officers found Tommy in the person Of q
young woman, who confessed that she was
Hutton's wife, and had consented to his
fraudulent marriage of Miss Fullerton.
She had been drugged during the journey,
and Miss Fullerton had disappeared, and,
she had no doubt, was murdered.
In compliance with Hutton's demand,
she had personated Mrs. F., at Sedalia, in
signing forged power of attorney, under
which he returned and took possession Of
her property. Hethad then sent her to St.
Louis, where she was employed as maid of
all work in the house where she was ar
rested. A mob took Hutton from Jail and
hung him. He had passed by different
names Dan Springer, ~" Joseph Lee"
GA. G. Hutton = and many others. The
frail woman whose devotion to him led her
into the committal of such revolving crimes
is in Jail OF Carthage. She says hermaiden
name was Mary Williams. She was born
in scioto county, Ohio, went to Oxford to
school, became infatuated with Springer,
ran away with him, and they were mar
ried at Ironton in 1866. Afterward she
went with him to Kansas, often dressing in
male attire at his request, and in that garb
was present when he married Miss Fuller

Count Bismarck, in a-recent letter
addressed to a land owner In Promer-
ania, makes some curious avoWals in
regard to his political character and
career. He says that Ia his opinion
be is not sufficiently unscrupulous
as a statesman, but rather too timid,
and that this is because it is not easy
always to attain in political questions
that elearness which gives confidence.
Those, he adds, who call me an
INSCRIPTIONS politician, do me wrong.
They should try their own ~eonscieu-
ces on the field of politics before ac-
cusing others of being unconscien-
tious.' Probably this will have to be
added to the singular list of self
drawn characters of distinguished
men. Warren Hastings, it viii be re-
membered, instead Of acknowledging
the charges of rapacity preferred
against his rule IN India, when he re-
called all the temptations that then
beset his sudden and almost irrespon-
sible power, declared that he stood
aghast at his own moderation. But
there is a measure of truth In what
Bismarck says as to some critics try
ing their own consciences on the field
of politics before they condemn
others. They would find therein diff
ferent points Of view from, Any known
to them before, new considerations
would arise, new inducements and
dissUasives, altering entirely the COM
plexion Of questions of practical duty.
The great statesman in some respects.
has a hard lot. He has often to act
from data which cannot be made pub
lie, while his course is judged instant
ly and r~elentlesslV. Time, however,
generally settles his position fairly In
the end, if he can only afford to wait.
But Count Bismarek's assertion
that he is rather e" too timid for
life Is highly amusing, though
it may be his own honest notion after
all. The poet Wordsworth always
thought his political ideas contained
his true merit as a man.. Theodore
Parker thought he hadn't harshness
enough in his composition for a con
troversialist, exhOrtation being his
true forte. John Ruskin. who writes
the most admirable art criticisms of
day, will persist in making the
most wretched attempts at elucida-
ting the problems OF political econ0
my. And SO the world goes. The
tlmld Bismarck has unconsciously
perpetrated a pleasant Joke. We
think better of him for his opinion
OF himself though we don't think it
Is correct-BostOn Journal.

any one else. He told me IN February
last that he was satIshed-wTth his
present position, that he could well
see how a President with a Congress
in harmony with him could accomplish
a great deal of good for his country,
but it was a position Of many hard
ships and trying labors; that be did
not regret the curse affairs were
taking; he regarded the. reeonstruc-
ton of the Southern States on the
basis of Universal suffrage as Of vital
necessity to- the causey0f liberty and
the Union and that result could be
accomplished under Gen. Grant prob
ably better than under himself" The
Chief Justice holds frmly-t to three
great cardinal ideas: Universal sUf-
irage, universal amnesty, and the
maintenance Of the public cred
it" He regardsrzthe first as q
necessary power to be welded by
the blacks, for their protection against
the pr0-slavery element of the cOun-
try, and the second as necessary to
heal the wounds of our late war, and
secure the requisite amount Of intelli-
gence and education in the govern
ments of the late rebel States. On
the matter of finance he has but one
opinion-that is, an immediate re-
sumption of specie payments, saying,
If had control ofthe Government,
| would resume specie payment to-
morrow. i could do it successfully,
for Our credit is unlimited. IndiEid-
uals could not long afford to keep
their gold idle or in an unproductivee
form. Under my policy they could
loan it for no Tore than greenbacks.
and Its purchasing power would be no
greater"
l have here hastily thrown together
the substance of several CONVERSE
tions, and you now have a correct
idea Of how little occasion the Chief
Justice has given for the unjust de-
fractions Of which he has recently
been the victim. 1t is time they
should cease. No man living is more
devoted than he to the great prinei-
pies of the Republican party, and if !
ne happens to differ on a matter of
judgment or policy with some Of our
extreme men, / presume it is his
right. So faFfrOm being cold blOOded
and selfish, as you assert. hei Is the most
devoted public man l ever saw to those
who are his personal friends, and in
turn they cling to him and follow his
fortunes with a tenacity not often wit
messed IN political life. Always
genial and cheerful, with plain, un-
assuming manners, and noble, digni- |
fed bearing, he has every element of
a great statesman, Ia intellect and
experience the peer Of any man
ever produced, it would be a
day for our country could he
be selected to rule over its destinies,
but if another than he is the choice
of the Chicago Convention, his sup-l
porters everywhere will give to the
nominee their most cordial and hearty
support.
/ ought to say this letter is written
without authority or permission from
the Chief Justice, but 10 his present
position be cannOt defend himself
newspaper criticisms, and it is
the duty of his friends to do so for
him. Very truly yours,

of both cities to be thus unitedH
Does not the commerce Of both places
demand it2 Taking it for granted
that this is true, and made positively
so (by the construction of the Vim
cennes and Cairo Railroad) to the
business relations of Evansville, Is
not this the time to move IN the mat

much needed Northern outlet Tor EY-

business relations with the great
city Of the Northwest be so enhanced
that you, as a business community,
can afford to give the enter
prise Vour influence aud money,
then select the most direct route,
and the one that will furnish the
most aid along its entire route. In
the opinion of your correspondent,
the road from either Rosedale or
Rockville via Attica, IN Fountain,
and Oxford, in Benton County, to
Grown Point, in Lake County, Ind,
would be the most favorable route,
and the most direct Of any that could
be found. And most certainly the
route would open up as rich in min
eral, coal, timber and undeveloped
agricultural wealth, as any portion of
our rich Wabash valley; and that is
just what Evansville needs. Then in
! conclusion, Mr.. Editor, I say to
all, work for the great route
and place yourselves on the great line
from Chicago to the South, making
your city the great bulk breaking
point between Nashville and Chicago;
and Of one thing be assured, that our
people a0iB giUe you all the aid they
can. Yes, they will, to secure this
great Southern outlet, for the sup
plies Of our beautiful valley, strain
every nerve. Therefore, let US be up
and doing, and construct one direct
and competing route to the Illinois
Central Railroad for the Ohio River
trade. Let ahe capitalists Of your
city speak.

YlndieatiOn OF Chief Justice Chase
Against the Charges of Theodore

NIcHoLAsvILLE, Ky, April 80, 1868.
In your issue of the 18th, | per-
ceiVe an editorial referring to the po-
sition of Chief Justice Chase. Its
tone and animus are so utterly at va
rance with the views | have heard
you express concerning him, and YOU
are so evidently under a misapprehen-
sion Of the truth, that [ take the lib
erty to correct you. For a long time
the Chief Justice has done me the
honor to consider me not only a DO
htleal but a personal friend, and hav-
ing just returned from Washington,
where | remained several weeks. and
where L had frequent interviews with
MIN, L am able to indicate his position
with as positive certainty as n distinct
recollection Of our several converse
tions will enable me to do.
My last interview with him was at
his residence, on the night of the nth
of the present month, and verv qoon
after Mr.. TIlton's artiele-uuon which
your editorial Is based-made its an
pearanee. Very soon after / entarad
the room, the Chief Justice asked mo
if | had seen the article. To an al
frmative answer he replied. " Mr.
Tilton has done me great Injustice
He came to my house under the garb
of friendship, and | talked freely to
him. l told him what I have often
told you; that l must be an upright
Judge. aud my judicial duties prevent
my being as available a candidate of
the Republican party as other men in
its ranks. This is all l said to him.
and his additional statements were
unauthorized by me. They may have
honest conclusions, but l gave no
grounds for them" After some
further conversation the same evening
he remarked / am a thorough Rad
ioal, but liam no extremist The

tiaI aspirant, and has not sought to
have any inyidious distinctions drawn
