able Habeas Corpus Case.

Ne,c York, June 30.-A remarkable
case of hdbeas corpus is before the Supreme
Court in which Joseph N. Pattison, we'll
known pianist and musical composer, sues
to obtain possession of his eldest child,
aged two years, now held by its mother,
Adelaide Pattison, nee Maugan. The father
claims that the children were stolen away
from him and so confined to the house that
one died. The mother appears to be well
enough disposed towards her husband, but
entirely under the influence of mischief
making friends. ft

DOMESTIC MISERY IN BROOKLYN.

The Manning Matrimonial Misundcrstn nd
ing-Thc Pistol Brought to Bear Upon the
Husband-The Vito Held for the Grand
Jury.
The attention OF Justice Delmar Brooklyn. was
occupied Yesterday forenoon In the examination
OF the charge OF attempt at murder preferred by
John Manning against his wife, Mrs. Fl1ea Man
ming. The parties, who are aged respectively
tnrty-fve and forty years, were married about
eighteen years ago, and have three children living,
the result Of their union-a boy OF seventeen years
and two lutte girls. Several years ago he purchased
q building on the corner OF Baltic clinton streets
with money furnished by his wife, VINO borrowed
$4,000, the amount requisite. from her sister. In
this building ne opened drug store. and there was
since the wife grew jealous OF her husband, whether
with cause or Otherwise is not known, and charged
MIN with infldelity. He "denied the SOFT impeach-
ment,v aud series or matrimonial sguaboles en-
sued The differences grew frequent that feeling
Of intense dislike appears to have sprung up be-
tween them, and last summer Il was decided that
they should separate. Application for partial al.
vorce was made to the Kings county Supreme Court,
and In OCTOBER 1871, bill OF separation was
granted Mrs. Manning, giving her the custody OF
the children, part OF the household furniture and 50
per week alimony. But 1t would appear that neither
aimony paid, as required by order Of the Court,
nor was the custody OF the children gwen TO the
woman shorty after the bill OF separation had
been granted Mr. Manning appears TO have formed
the belief Mrs. Mannings reason mad ned, as he
caused ner removal a. The Lunauc Asylum, Flat
bush. Judge Pratt issued nabeas corpus, upon ap-
pllcation OF her counsel, Tor her appearance. The
writ was duly executed and the Court severely CEN
sured ManninQ ior his cruel conduct Since her
escape from ''Bedlamn she has been sheltered by her
trends. On April Mrs. Manning received note
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1872-04-07

from her husband telling her that he was about to
move from his habtation and thai she had better
come at once and take charge or her share or the
furniture as he would no longer be responsible Tor
It. She repaired 10 the house, corner OF Baltic and
Clinton Streets on the evening OF the day in ques-
in-law engaged In packing the trunks, ana
her children all ready TO leave. She LAID ner
hand upon trunk which Manning had nOld or, and
he struck her. The two men then raised the trunk
between them ana proceeded to carry 1t down STAIRS
she followed them out OF the room to the landlng,
and as they were carrying IT down the steps she
fired pistol across the banisters over their heads.
The shots lodged IN the wall opposite the stairs
Mr.. Manning testified upon the examination yes
terday, that It was her intention to kill HIM. and
that she was a bad character. Oficer RyOn, OF the
Third precinct testified that II such was her nten-
tion she coulu easily have carried II into effect from
the position she occupied on the landing. Benson
Manning. the son, who IS a bright youth, testified
strongly In behalf OF MS mother. He witnessed the
assault in question; heard his uncle and father
both call her vile names, heard the shot fired, and
gave evidence 10 the effect that his mother had
been habitualy abused and ltreated by his father;
had heard his father threaten her life several times,
and sne mad bought the pistol for self protection
Mrs. Manning, upon taxing the witness stand,
told an awful story OF the terrible treatment which
she had sustained at the hands OF her husband ex-
tending over number OF years. Several OF the de-
tails or her story are unit Tor publication. IL was
not her intention TO shoot Manning; she simply In
tended To frlgnen him. Tie counsel for the accused,
Mr.. r. Ready, charged that his client had been the
victim Of most fendlsh conspiracy on the part Of
her husband and his brother; that IL not her
intention to shoot him, and he therefore moved her
discharge from further surveillance OF the Court,
no Grand Jury IN Christendom would indlct her.
Judge Demar committed Mrs. Manning to await
Inc action OF the Grand Jury.

TIE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

The arguments Of Democratic news
papers regarding the political situation
would be amusing, were it not for the
sense of folly that follows q perusal Of
their productions. For instance, they
profess a desire to carry the State for the
Liberal ticket but to do 50 a large num-
Der of Republican votes, and the infu-
ence Of representative Republican men, is
necessary. To acquire this influence and
vote, these singular arguments are en-
ployed: We know, say the Democratic
press to these Republicans, that during
your party ascendency. you administered
the government in corrupt and vicious
manner. You, yourselves, are knaves,
and your principles are abhorernt. We
have no faith or confidence in you, and it
is our delight to abuse and calumniate
you. Only because we feel ourselves too
weak to carry the State without your in
fuence do we tolerate any association or
coalition with you. Please, therefore,
come forward and vote our ticket
We submit that the foregoing is a fair
sample Of the arguments the Picoyuae
particularly is daily employing. What
effect they are having and will have upon
Republicans it requires no prophetic Vi
sion to discover. It is true the Demo-
cratic party, composed in the main Of
sensible men, should not be held respon-
sible for such silly outpourings of vim
dictive partisan spleen, since the real Gull
prit is the brainless writer and the direc-
tory which sustains and indorses such
stupidities. Not even the recent fusion is
able to erase from the minds ofthese people
their popular sources Of contumely and
each issue is repIete with denunciation Of
Republican leaders, and the grossest ex-
aggerations Of their public career,
We submit that this policy may be
Democratic, but It is scarcely probable it
will subserve the purposes Of a genuine
coalition.

A QUESTION OF RIGHT.

One Of the 'sshrewdest, sharpest anG
astutest. lawyers in the city instructs the
Citizens Guard that the Legislature violated
ali decencyan cornmitteda moral outrage
on the people Of the State Of Louisiana
when it passed the present election and
registration laws, which confer GctatoriaI
powers on the Governor, giving him the
key Of all the elections in the State So
far SO good. What comes after is Of a diff
ferent quality. This same sharp, shrewd
and astUte' lawyer next proceeds to in
struct the Guard that Congress, under the
manipulation Of Senator Kellogg, passed
q law that made the President the
dictator in our local elections in
stead Of, the Governor, whereupon
both the lawyer and the organ
rejoice that the right to outrage the people
has been transferred from the Governor to
the President. If it vas wrong in the
State to 10 this thing, why was it not
wrong in the nation to do it? And if die
tatorial powers are to be exercised over us
on the day Of election, why should we
select an officer one thousand miles away
to hold sway by deputy rather than one in
our midst who can be held responsible
directly to the people Of the State? And
if the spirit Of tie law is oppressive, why
does the lawyer. indorse its passage in
Washington and denounce it in New Or
leans It seems to US that the smartness
of this gentleman is superior to his astute-
ness.
