HERALD called at the residence OF Mr.. Raymond,
IN Henry street, yesterday, as that gentle
man usually revises whatever matter Is to
be given to the press, but he was out of town,

mittee. The subject OF the scandal was, as might
be expected, uppermOsts in the mind OF the people,

alleged insanity in the family Of Mr.. TiltOn gave
rise to new ground OF argument in the case, and
there were many who accepted the insanity theory

but no one has ever yet called him mailman.

raking over of the charnal house of intellect in
his family and regards the eXpedient as despicabfe
on the part Of those who pretend to be the friends
