POOR WIS. STOWE 4!

Perhaps no woman IN America has
achieved so uncnyiable a notoriety as
Mrs. Harriet BecCher Stowe. She pub
lished in the September number of the
atlantic Monthly, and simultaneously in
MacmiUan'8 Magazine, a London pub
LEGATION, what she called "The True Story
of Lady Byron's Life In this publica-
ton she gave publicity to q scandalOuS
story in regard to Byron and Mrs. Au-
gusta Leigh, his half sister, as reveal
ton which Lady Byron had committed to
her many years ago, and which the latter
gave as the real reason for the separation
from her husband. This publication Of
Mrs Stowe has called forth a great deal
from the press of this country and
England in refutation Of the story, and
almost every person had settled down
ints the conviction that the story, if told
to Mrs. Stowe 10y Lady Byron, was
simply hallucinatiOn of that unfortunate
lady, when the London Quarterly Re
uicl0 October issua) puts complete eX-
tingufshcr upon Mrs. Stoves story,
by the publication of number Of letters
from Lady Byron to Mrs. Leigh, which
she could not have been hypOcrite enough
TO have written if she entertained the sus-
picion she afterwards stated to Mrs. Stowe
she did. These letters were written long
after the date at which, according to Mrs.
Stoves narrative, Lady Byron became
aware of the alleged incestuOus cOmec-
ton between her husband and his half
sister. The first of these letters, not
dated, was evidently written by Lady By
ron on the eve of her quitting her hus-
band in January, 1916, and the others
were written within month after her
having so separated from him forever. II
appears from Lady Byron's letters to Mrs.
Leigh, that the latter remained an inmate
of Lord Byron'S house in London, for
several weeks after the separation, until
all hope of reconciliation had passed, not
only with Lady Byron's full concurrence,
but at her strong solicitation; that Lady
Byron wrote to her that "whateyer
the situation may be, there is no
one whose society is dearer to
me. or can contribute more to
my happiness" that "these feelings will
not change under any circumstances, and
| should be grieved if you did not under
stand them:n that she wrote to Mrs.
Leigh. " You have been ever since
l knew you, my best comforter,
and will so remain, unless you grow
tired of the office, which may well
be;' and, "Shall | still be your sisteri
must resign my rights to be so considered.
But don't think that will make any diff
ference in the kindness haVesO unifOrmi-
ly experienced from you" and finally,
Heaven knows you have considered me
more than thousand would have done
more than anything but my affection

Countless millions of cubic feet of malarious
vapor roek from the moist earth every twenty-four
hours during the month OF November. This evapo-
rated moisture is the active principle which begets
fever and ague, bilious rcmittents, indigestion,
dysentery, bilious cholic, rheumatism, and many
other ailments which prevail more generally in the
Fall than at other Seasons, and some of which,
in low, swampy regions and new Clearings take the
form Of virulent cpldemlcs. The best safeguard
against these complaints, as evidenced by the ex-
porience Of a long series of years, is HOSTETTERB
STOMACH BITTERs, the most pleasant and at
the same time the most efficient of all vegetable
tonics The inauguration of the system is manifest
ly the best of defending it against the
of sickness, whether constitutional or casual Ma
ture, az every pathologist knows, is the most de-
termined enemy Of disease and the paroxysms of an
acute malady are in most instances the conse-
Quenoes of the efforts she makes to conquer the
foe. The great object, therefore, of preventive
treatment is to reinforce the system and it is ao-
complished thoroughly, rapidly, and safely, by the
use of HosTETTERs BITTERs. This powerful
tonic contains also sperient and corrective
principle 1t is no less valuable a regulator and
purifier than as an inyigorant, and there is no
danger of exciting the brain or over-stimulatng
the circulation by employing it as an antidote

serve" ending with, farewell. God
bless you from the bottom Of my
heart" The publication of these
letters came with crushing force, and have
brought ont from Mrs. Stowe the follow
ing card:
ga CARD-Mrs. Stowe requests the
public to suspend their judgment on the
letters of Lady Byron to Mrs. Leigh,
lately published in the London Quarterly
ReUieiV, until they meet them in their
proper historical connection in her forth
coming volume.
'sNEw York, Monday, Nov. l, 1859"
1t thus appears that Mrs. Stowe is
writing book on the Byron scandal, and
that the public is to be RECALLED with re-
hash of the nastiness with which she be-
smeared the pagesof the Atlantic Month
~ and AfdcmiSIen's Magazine. Is the
poor old woman-whose father was and
whose husband is clergyman, and her
self mother-crazy, that she delights in
parading before the public details of 80
disgusting a nature that they are unfit to
be read in the family circleG Cannot her
husband and her brothers, who are also
clergymen, put stop to her manufacture
of obscene books, such asn no otherwoman
of this country has ever attempted to
write?

TEE CONVENTION BTLL--TEsE VA
N0RGTE REPORT--TEsE LAW az
EEEE D0FER CASE.

We have in another article detailed al
some length the facts of the DoT case,
which is the leading case relied upon by
the Minority Report Of Senators Cooper OF
Bedford, and Nelson, TO sustain their ex
traordinary proposition, that Conyon-
ton 'fs the mere creature of the Legisla-
ture: that it exists alone by the viii of
the Legislature This proposition is the
more extraordinary Of it can be more eX-
traordinary than it is in its naked de-
formitv) propounded and defended by a
member of She Convention of 1865, (Sena-
tor Cooper, of Bedford, } which was not
called by Legislature, whose members
were not elected or selected by anybody,
who did not even meet for the purpose of
touching the Constitution, and whose
action in thatrespectwas an afterthOught.
This proposition was voted for by Sena-
tors, without reelection doubtless, who
occupy their present positions by an cleo
ton held under provisions and restrictions
of constitutional amendment which has
none Of the evidences of legitimacy re.
quired 10y the Minority.
Having detailed the facts in the Rhode
Island case, we come now to speak of the
law of that justly celebrated cause. W.
have shown how widely it differed from
the present case; Rhode Island having nc
constitution, as Tennessee has having nc
declaration of rights, as Tennessee has
and which in Tennessee is made an invio
late part of the Constitution of the State
The gist of the law in the DorT case i,

sition that, according to the institutions OF

A CONVENTION DEMANDED.

Our special dispatch from Columbia
shows that the people are moving actively
in the matter of a convention. They de-
mand a convention without any interfer-
ence from the Legislature A letter from
Lebanon says: 1.-The action of the Sen
ate on the House bill calling a constitu-
tional convention, has caused much com
ment; indeed, the most intense excite
mcnt prevails here. The people are sur
prised that their masters have so little
confidence IN them as Scy0aRts. q a
IL is a matter of Indifference with the
people, whether the Senate recommends a
convention or not, for we know full well
That all power is inherent in the people,
and they viii have convention, even
though it displeases Mr. Cooper"
