That nasty tenderness which fondles the
poor, dear murderer and says the ravisher
has been only too acutely moved by emotions
capable of making him a grandsire in Israel
if you let him go, is at work to defend Gov
ernor Holden, of North Carolina, against the
articles of impeachment exhibited against
him by the Legislature of that State as
lawless tyrant, an arrester, an imprisoner, a
putter upon the rack of honest men unhap-
PLY delivered over by circumstances into his
oppressive hands, The charges against him
are eight in number, with many specifca-
tions, each one blacker than the other,
and giving name, day, date, fact, and
circumstance, accusing him of melting
civil war, of setting on foot vagabond
standing army of defying the process of the
courts and tearing kup with iguominy the
writ of babeas corpus-hateful alone to
tyrants; of arresting and putting into a stink
ing iron cage, side by side with murderer in

private citizen and an unimpugaed honest
man. of hanging up another citizen and let

beef, ham and lard, at another fifteen boxes OF
choice cigars, and so on all around. The next day
the orders began to pour ia on the amazed Kueblef

The fastest trotting time In public this year was
made yesterday, on Prospect Park Fair Grounds by
twohorscs belonging to Mr.. Robert Bonner, and what
win surprise the public Is that neither OF these
horses was Dexter, whose time yet remains un.
equaed at the close OF the trottng eason Of 1870.
The first Of these horses is the six-yearold Joe
Elliott. He trotted a mile In 2lsH. He was timed
by Mr.. Pffer, Mr.. Harvey and Mr. Drew. He was
driven by john Murphy and carried five pounds over
full weight.
The second Is the beautiful mare Pocahontas, OF
which Commodore Vanderbilt once said, ut is
worth hundred dollars day to look at her," She
trotted mile in 2:l9, carrying oyer full weight.
she was driven by Mr.: D. Mace, and was timed by
John l. Snedker, Mr.. Hogan anu Mr. Clark.
Bota OF these miles the fastest that have been
made In public this season. 1t has often been
predicted during the past summer that DeXters

other horse; but, when put to the test no
other horse in the country has, after all, como
as near equaing It as either Of these two out of Mr..
B0nners stable. II Is but fair TO say therefore,
that after oil the efforts at competition-and they
have been made with Immense lberality OF expendi-
ture-the tr0ttag season for 1870 closes with the
star OF Bonner clearly IN the ascendant.

Revelations by thc Girl Giiien-Tho Two
Girls to Go 10 the House OF the Good

The Court Of the City Judge at Jersey City was
crowded yesterday morning when the case Of Mrs.
Miller and her husband was called up. The girl,
Sarah Gillen, repeated her statement published in
yesterdays HERALD, and added some particulars,
which she stated to the HERALD reporter, but which
are too disgusting for publication. The crowd in
tho court room was shocked when she delivered
the statement that the man Miller, Barbaras
husband, mad slept in the same bed with
her and his own daughter at one time,
and she gave full details of that affair without
any hesitation or stammering. She mentioned
the name of a furniture dealer In Jersey
City who had free access to the house and Its In
mates In consideration OF O bureau given TO Mrs.
Miller. The latter received five dollars for each girl
duce some Of them to GO TO California in which case
she would receive larger sum. She received d
bonus OF ten dollars and even twenty dollars in some
parts OF New York. During the past year she sent out
upwards Of fifty young girls in this manner.
After hearing all the evidence IN the case the City
Judge decided to hold the woman Miller for trial.

During the Coroners Inquest which IS still Ia pro-

about her daughters and this was also corroborated
by another matron who was acquainted with the

the guilt or innocence OF the suspected party Is by
q med. cal examination. Should this latter confirm

the NEWToWR ELECTION FRAUDS.

The statements made in reference to alleged
frauds committed during the recent election at New
town seem to have been exaggerated. Wild and un-
founded runners were freely circulated. Among the
many idle reports unscrupulously set anoat in this
locality was one that Mr.. Cook told Mr.. Aaron A.
Degrauw he could prove that in one ward In Long
Island City over 900 illegal votes were cast. 1t
also mentioned that Mr.. Everett the defeated repub
ncan nominee, had been TO see Mr.. Degrauw and
offered to defray his travelling expenses for the
winter, so as to keep him out OF the way OF an In
vestigating committee This statement appears to
have had no foundation, as i3 shown by the Follow
