should have been conceived, or be now
in process of execution, betokens, we
cannot but think, a very considerable
degree Of weakness in the Radical party.
Men do not seek endorsements TIL
they need them and this wild scheme
Of buying Southern support indicates be-
yond all doubt q deey-seated conviction
among the Radical leaders that there are
causes at work to operate most serious
defections In their Northern ranks. OF
course they would not own it; it is the
part Of strategy to keep up tremendous
drum-beatiDg and marching and coun-
ter-marching where the lines are slim.
But one thing is eertsin: Grant would
not have bid for scalawsg support in the
appointment of Cresswell, and Congress
would not now be utilizing Southern
State offices, If there was not something
wrong in the North. The rogues are
losing ground, depend upon it.

jscted to by defendant; witness passed
or, but had hardly expressed few
words that defendant said to him in
French, "But you are mistaken, it was
on the 4th Of December, lS03.n Witness
had given the date as December 1904.
Mr.. Fernandez also recalled q converse
ton which occurred under an elm tree,
in the public square when he returned
from lower California. At first defend
ant did not specially recolleet the con-
vsrsation alluded to- Witness asked
him whether he did not recOllect piece
of serious advice tcuching his future Ca
reer. He Immediately answered lin
Freneh): Yes, / remember very well
now; yeu advised me to go to univer-
sity." And it was so. Has always
found defendant, with one exception
perhaps, self. possessed, and in allrespects
consonaat with the gravity Of old age.
Never saw any dragging of his right
foot, but noticed slight tardiness Of
gait. Has never in any instance detect
ed anything which could authorize wit

From the New Orleans Crescent of Saturday.
Yesterday, In the Second District
Court, the greater portion of the day
WAS consumed in examining Professor
Alexander Bimitry upon the description
Of certain notes or bills Of the Confed-
crate States, the State of Alabama, Bank
Of the People, of Toronto, Canada, and
others-ln ali, eighteen in number
which had been submitted by the Pro-
fessor to Mr.. Fernandez. The object of
this description may hereafter be shown,
but as yet the attorney for the plaintiff
In interdiction has not made known his
object.
A Mr.. Laporte was introduced as a
witness, and gave his testimony regard
ing some business transactions, favorable
to defendant.
Professor Dimitry was again called on
the stand, and the tine was occupied in
physiological and psychological detini-
tions, or opinions, in answer to counsel
for plaintiff an Important portion OF
which we give!
Question-Do you state, as an absolute
proposition that admits Of no exception
whatever, that the absence OF the knOwl-

sense is sn invsrisble accompaniment OF

ries, hsd never been able to satisfy him.

adds, that in bis examination in chief he
hes, with whatever precision he can
command, declared to the court, growing
out OF repeated con- Yersations with Mr..
Fernandez, that conference and continu-
ity OF thought all tending to tha forma'
ton OF general Judgment and act uslly
forming such Judgment, he had long BE-
fore the consideration Of the metaphysi-
cal dueation, come to the conclusion that
Mr.. Fernandez is adequate fOF the trans
sotion of the common business Of life.
Witness considers Mr.. Fernandez 8
rational human being.
Witness declines to answer the ques-
ton: Do you consider that there sre
beings not human, not spirit, that are
rational?
DR.. Trouatre also testified yesterday
entirely in favor of defendant, sttribu-
tug the illness OF Fernandez TO an apo
pleetic fit, which caused cerebral hem
orrhage Of the left lobe Of the brain and
weakness OF the opposite side Of the
body resulting therefrom, which dis
turb his intelligence. That at present
this hsmorfhsge is being cured. De-

Religious Intelligence.

Ine anniversaries have SO engrossed the
attention OF the different churches and pastors
and 80 crowded the newspapers with special
matter that we do not find this week SO large
a field to make up our summary from as usual.
The Biddeford journal learns thet there
was an interesting service at the Universalist
vestry last Sabbath evening, at which time
church organization. was formed with about
thirty members. The interest which has been
growing, and which has taken root in this
form Of church has come, in great mea-
sure, from the evening conference meetings
which have been very successful during the
winter and spring. The rite of baptism was
received by about twenty. Others have ex-
pressed much interest.
The new Universalist church at Spring
field Mass, is to be dedicated on Wednesday
next.

AS the time draws near for taking the
vote in the Methodist Episcopal Church on the
question of lay representation, the leading
journals of that body are industriously en-

Herald there can be little doubt that the plan
of lay representation will be adopted by large
majorities.
