TESTIMONY OF Hon. TRUMAN SMITn.--This
venerable statesman of Connecticut now up
ward of so years of age, has written to
friend private letter that contains tho fol-
lowing impressive tribute to Gen. Grant and
his administration
Certainly no iayors received orexpected have
prompted me to support the reelection of Presi-
dent Grant. | have acted on a thorough convic-
tion that the highest and best interests OF the
American people require that an unprincipled
coalition should be put down, and an administra-
tion, in main upright and patriotic, should be up
held Very soon after the Administration was
organized the purpose was formed and brought
into activity 10 break down and destroy President
Grant, by incessant oalumny and abuse. The in
famous New York Sun, conducted by the iniam-
Gus Charles A. Dana. opened upon the President,
and has pursued him with unparalleled yirulence
to this day. We have before us for solution the
question, whether or not Chief Magistrate OF
unspotted recttudo, whose services to the coun-
try have been OF inapprecable value, shall be
crushed out? Would not this be an iniamy
How rejoice that no such stain is to be attached
10 the escutcheon of our country :"

s.ORATINGo IN ILLINOIS.

In the Illinois Legislature bill providing
for the establishment of title muniments by
proceedings in Court of Equity was pro-
posed by committee of the best men In the
House, assisted by eminent legal talent. 1t
was carefully drawn, and was well calculated
ofthe Burnt District of Illinois that portion of
the State devastated by the Chicago fire-for
which purpose the bill was introduced. One
Jack Heafield, Cook county orator, de-
feated the measure by single burst of elo-
quence. And here's the speech that did the
mischief:
Mr.. Speaker:-I am opposed to this bill,
and am coming down on it like June bug
on potato vine. have come to pronounce
its eulogy as Mark Antony did over Cleopa-
ira. / am laboring man myself, and
know what ls sborers want, and know that
they don't want any such thing as this. I've
been in chancery, and know how it is my
self. After hanging in chancery till the
lawyers got my bottom dollar, got my case
before twelve honest farmers, and / knocked
the socks off my antagonist just like falling
off log. Now, here's King coming in here
with this bill to help out the legal fraternity
and put every man in Cook county into
chancery. amt got nothing against my
friend King, but want to tell him right here
that my names Jack, and that King cannot,
never did, and never will take Jack. Look
at this section here, providing for masters in
chancery- in chancery- yes, we'llhave
them in Chicago thicker that fieas on dog,
to eat our substance and get fat ON our mis-
fortunes. call upon the hard listed yo-
manry on the Democratic side of this House
to nip this thing in the bud-we don't want it,
and we won't have it. We have got along so
far without it, and we can borrow all the
money we want and sell all the property we've
UOt without pOinp intO chaOcprV IN do II
Now, Mr.. Speaker, though Nero tfddled when
Rome was burning, and Lycurgus played
seven up on his wife's coffin, that is no reason
our people should be gobbled up in chancery
hopper after they have been burned out, and
ground out of what little they have left.

A Baltimore correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune says: "a. s. Abel. editor
and proprietor of tha Baltimore Sun, pur-
chased few days since, for $475, 900, the
magnificent estate, % miles from Baltimore,
on the York road, leading to Tomsonton,
formerly owned by VIM Mcdonald, deceased
There are nearly 300 acres in this tract. It is
superbly improved, with palatial residence
and numerous other buildings. The elegant
statuary, furniture, paintings etc., were in
cluded in the sale. 1t is considered one of
the most beautiful and valuable estates in
Maryland. Mr.. Abell's country seat is about
two miles further out. This contain 400 or
500 acres, with splendid residence, outbuild-
ings, etc. 1t is worth, probably, $3.50, ,0OO
He also bought the old Aims House property,
not long ago, at an outlay of over $500, ,OOO
He ownes farm of 200 acres, five miles out in
another direction, whei his oldest son lives,
worth, perhaps $3.50, 900 dollars. Not long
ago he bought farm-the best one in Fred
erick county, Md.,-for $35, 600. He also
owns several other very beautiful country
places, besides vast amount of city proper
ty, and large possessions (coal lands, etc. ) in
Pennsylvania, and property in Philadelphia.
He is estimated by those who approach the
best knowledge of his wealth to be worth
about SIC, 900, 900. His present immense in
come from the Baltimore Sun and other
sources, would enable him to purchase an
estate like the one known as "McDonalds'
every year, This is not bad for an editorand
newspaper man who commenced lifea poor
journeyman printer forty years ago.
