would go hard with him. Being con-
fronted with two Of his sisters in Court,
some time ago, he swore that they
were no Connections Of his, and that he
knew them only as sisters of his Aus
tralian friend, Arthur Orton. The
value of human testimony would be
weakened more than ever, If against the
fun recognition of her lobg-lost son BY
Lady Tichborne, should be afforded the
unhesitating Identification of Orton BY
his sistersl The Attorney General prob,
ably has dramatic surprises in store, and
this may be one Of them, Commisslon-
ers are still out on both sides hunting
for evidence, all over theworld. humor
says that the real Arthur Orton will be
produced by the claimant as settler. "
But as the noyelists say " Let US not
anticipate The enjoyment of all who
read the trial, OF such scraps OF II as
American journals can make room tor
would be marred by disclosing the tu-
ture moves Of either side The " third
volume" or, we should say, the three
hundred and third" !" Of this romance OF
more than Japanese dimensions, will
tell it all. Meanwhile, the lawyers are
fattening on the estate, or the Tichborne
fund, and are in no hurry to leave such
rich pasturage. Probable costs, all
round, are footed up quarter million
of dollars. That was q good point OF
Bulpitt, the banker, when he said that
he had bought Gosford (the defendant 8
interest) and the claimant together to
prevent the lawyers from running the
fichborne and Doughty estates" The
reporters put down laughter there,
but do not say whether it was the law
yers or the public that laughed. .ls

mrs. Gaines in Court.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Mobile Register of the 10th is responsl-
BILE for the following; ~
Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, lively old
lady. who is sometimes heard Of in con-
nection with law suits, is just now fight
ing in the Circuit Court OF this district
in the case Of Doddridge vs.. Gaines.
This is suit brought by Doddridge to
recover fee for services rendered Mrs.
Gaines in the year lS57-59, in her suits
then pending in the Supreme Court Of
the United States, which have since been
decided in favor of defendant, by which
she succeeds to the possession OF large
estate in New Orleans. The amount
alleged to be due the plaintiff is 500, 600.
During the examination Of Mrs. Gaines
for the defense, much laughter was pro-
voked by her detailed account of the
many difficulties she had sustained in the
progress Of the suit for the recovery of
her property in New Orleans, and by the
ready wit displayed by the old lady in
answering any depreciatory observations
ON the part of counsel Upon her cross
examination, Judge Moore, counsel for
plaintiff, endeavored to contradict a
statement made by Mrs. Gaines in her
examination-in-chie the substance OF
which was profession Of love that she
had at all times made for the Union, and
that when once at watering-place she
had made speech, beseeching all of her
hearers to remain by the Union, etc.
To effect this, Judge Moore asked her
whether she had not, when stopping at
the Spottswood Hotel, in the city Of
Richmond, complimented General Price
upon a rebel success in Missourip
The witness emphatically denied the
imputation.
Judge Moore, (rising to his feet and
approaching Mrs. Gaines Madame

gentlemen, compliment General Price
upon the success of the rebel army, and
express sympathy with the ConfederacyY

every measure Of repression. Let them
now turn TO the other half OF the work.
They have struck at the out-cropping
evil weed; now let them deal with the
soil whence the weed springs. We can
never get to the root Of the Ku-klux
trouble, we can never restore the South
to prosperity and WELD il in union Of
heart with the rest Of the nation simply
by measures Of repression. There is a
work Of magnanimity and trust to be
done as well, and il is full time that the
work was wrought. The great measure
should not be marred by any reserva-
tons and exactions. If five hundred
or fifty or Eve men are singled ont to
remain under the ban, the practical ben
eft of the measure will be greatly i'm
paired, We want it to speak to the
Southern people a message Of free and
fearless goodwill. II can only bear
that message effectively, as it is un-
qualified and absolute in its terms.

Hon. L. d. Campbell, member of Con-
gress from Ohio, has also been inter
viewed on the situation. He has the
following to say on platforms:
The best platform have ever known
was that of the Union or Bell-Everett
party of 1860" The Union, the Con-
stitution, and the enforcement of the
laws" But generally wordy platforms
are great humbugs. The masses forget
them, and politicians set them aside af-
ter the elections. A good illustration
of this is presented by the action of the
Republican party. When they nomina-
ted Grant in 1868 at Chicago, about the
first plank of their platform declared
that the question Of regulating suf-
frage properly belonged to the States;
vet before Grant was insugurated two
thirds of both branches voted for the
Fifteenth amendment, taking away the
right they had just declared properly
belonged TO the States | repeat it,
platforms are often embarrassing and
seldom important. What is wanted
most is ticket composed Of trustwor-
thy, reliable and popular men. These
believe confidently we shall find in due
