FREQ love and all its clustering afinl'tes, both OF
persons and principles, are now fairly their trial.
Yesterday WAS the OF elrR day OF this class OF evil
dence and the result Is net very satisfactory IN dis
peIlng the cuirelt notions as TO the principles and
PRACTICES Of free lovers The 'noblest Roman" Of
them all ye tor'ay was Horace Greeley That he
was "nerviewe ~ and that lie admitted having put
.'shot" into his language IN that interview, and that
he believes IN Mrs. Calhoun, was the extent OF the
wckedness con es el TO by the editor Of the Tribune
FREE LOVE EFFUsIoNs.
Mr.. Sinclair, the publisher OF the free love organ,
has confused, II improper notions as to this free
love business. the intercepted letter to Mr.. Sin
clar, q .ioolish and an imprudent' letter, certainly
not ian Infamous rrodu tlon,n was the ready re-
sponse OF MIR. Sinclair to counsels searching ques-
tons in this regard. To hold q kind OF domestic
court aud virtually depore marriage tie on Sun
day evening after SUPPER and TO give consent
10 man to pay his addresses TO q
woman thus divorced. having made no provision
as 10 the children OF this lawful union,
was an act that was endorsed with apparent
approval by MIR. Sinclair, who Is u husband AMI
father. 1t was quite refreshing to see how every.
boly IN court tlrne 10 one another with quet bat
scornfu aston nshment marked their faces as these
admissions were drawn from the witness.
OLIVER JOHNSON AS A PEcXsNIPFIAN.
Mr.. Oliver Johnson has, however. drank q deep
draapht or the elixir OF youth. At fitysx years o.
age he writes 10 Mrs. McFaran and tells her that
sue is 'tle altogether lovely, and that OF
such as she Is the Kingdom Of heaven" With
Pecssnifian self compacency Mr.. johnson an
nounced with prile that he is friend OF
mr. Henry Ward Reecher's and for several years was
d regular attea dant OF his church. Surely MIR.
Beecaer will. realing divers evidence, exclaim
with one o. Cd tSave me from my friends"

celved very severe comment rom the bench, and
It Will take great deal OF Pecksnlan pety TO erase

who heard 1t tile eject o. tnat rebuke OF witness
with such loud sounding prets 10 the virtue OF

NEW LADY.
Onno day since the trial began was the court go
crowded. Tue lad es had q much larger CT. ole, and
shis circle include among other notaoes, new
access on. The authoTess Of "Up GA alway" was

THE oUrCAsT LAWYER.
Charles Spencer the outcas. lawyer, WAS conspic-
uous Ly his absence. Tne sympathy OF the public
Is certainly not with him. To desert his client IN
his create hour OF need is considered unfavorabe.
an IL is said, either with truth or III nature, that 1t
was fear of Mrs Calhoun husband ra her than
chivalry and QaIaDtry for the wife that prompted
tho straight back down letters that have done his
reputation rs q lawyer 60 much. and probably IRE
parable, harm.
