The Sullivan Trial, in Chicago.

Hon. Leonard SWEET, of Chicago, has
written lengthy and very able review of
the Sullivan trial and the rulings of Judge
McAllister's. He opens as follows:
CHICAGO, Nov. $50 many inquiries
have arisen in regard to Judge McAllister's
rulings inthe Sullivan trial, and so much mis-
understanding exists even among the pro-
fession in regard to how the questions arose
and what he really did decide that have
deemed it proper to state publicly the
principal questions of the trial, the man
ner in which they arose, how they were
decided, and to give my own views in re-
gard to them.
1t should be remembered that imme-
diately upon the killing Of Hanford, a
coroners inquest was held in this city at
which IA witnesses, subsequently sworn
upon the trial, were examined at length.
They were the Same witnesses, and all the
witnesses finally sworn on the trial, as to
the circumstances Of the killing. Their
testimony before the coroner's inquest was
given as fully as it was ever given, and
developed all the facts immediately con-
nected with the killing, even to the strik-
ing of Mrs. Sullivan. This testimony was
published in the daily papers, and the we'll
known character of the parties and the
sadness of the tragedy caused it 10 be read
and commented upon almost universally by
the public.
In the attack made upon Mrs. Sullivan,

loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels

pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation III the back part. There IS
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
priCkly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, ne distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases

Arctic expedition under Captain Mares
It announces his arrival at Upernavik on
the 18th of July. He reports all well on
board, and says he would proceed north
ward July 10. The winds during the
summer have been from the north, and
were, therefore, not calculated to clear
the ice from Melville Bay, but as far as
visible from Uppernavik, the sea was
clear. There was no news of the Arctic
expedition.

Alderman Thomas Owden, of Bishops

LETTER FROM CHARLES FRANCIS
ADAMS.
QUINCY, September 25, 1876.

QUINCY, September 25, 1876
Daniel Mdg0ne, jr: esq, Chairman Ne'O
York State Democratic Committee,
DEAR SIR: Absence from home has pre-
vented me from answering promptly
your letter of the goth inst.
i'll were younger it would be an agree
able duty to perform the task to which
you invite me. But have not done Pny-
thing of the kind for fifteen years, and
am now in my seventieth year. Should
| accept your invitation / should Proba-
bly, give rise to others which would have
an equal claim. My judgment is that |
had better stay at home. Yet think |
fully appreciate the importance of this
canvass. 1t is narrowing itself daily
more and more into struggle between
the people and the managers, who held
the official organization Of the country
for their own exclusive benefit. From
the days of Credit Mobilier down to the
last exposures made by theinvestigations
of the last Congress, there is only one
conclusion to be drawn, and that is the
prevalence of corruption almost every
where in the Republican organization
The honest men do, indeed, make brave
and sincere efforts to resist this baneful
infuense, but they are too often detected
to raise any Just hopes of ultimate sue
cess. This struggle has been going on for
years, and no material change for the
better has vet been effected. The time
has now come for radical change and
the substitution of a wholly new in
huence, tied up by no restrictions other
than the genuine wishes of honest men
of all partias. When in a great popular
convention of party to nominate a can
didate for the Presidency one gentleman,
deeply compromised by the investiga-
tions of a committee of the House of
Representatives, comes within twenty
five votes of nomination, and another,
who really hid honor to himself by fear
less and effective exposures of corruption
in high places, could not command many
more than hundred votes, 1t seems to
me that it is high time for a change in
public opinion. Neither is the case i'm
proved by view of the manner in which
the canvass has been carried on. The
great effort of the Republicans seem to
be to operate on ihe popular passions ex-
cited during the late civil war Instead
of repeating the honorable call of "Let
us have Peace" the cry is for raising what
may prove another war. And why is
this? Only because the people of the
Southern States choose to vote as they
please, without regard to the corrupt com
binations of office holders all over the
country, welded by equally corrupt COM
binations of legislators at the seat of gov
ernment, to perpetuate their own power.
Verify, verify, if the people are wise they
will lay down party and seize the present
opportunity to make a change. | am
very truly yours.
