A Worlds Washington special says:
The District Attorney brought into
Court to day All indictment found by
the Grand Jury against Charles A.
Dana, Of the New York Sun, for libel
of Governor Shepherd. in charging
him on October 9TH with keeping a
widow named Mrs. Il. +. Mossel as
his mistress, and that with the aid of
the President he had her appointed III
the Treasury Department, though she
had never rendered a days service.
The indictment, after pronouncing this
false, recites that the President ordered
Mrs. Mossel to be paid her salary after
she had been furlougbed by the Treas
ury Department, which is also pre-
sented as libelous. 1t is further re-
cited that Mrs. Mossel is recognized as
one of the best dressed ladies in the
city and lives in one of Shepherds
houses and keeps up style that people
of moderate wealth cannot afford,
which Is also presented among the
llbelous portions of the article. The
editor of the Sun is brought here for
trial, Of which there is great doubt, in
view OF Judge Blatchtord's decision

! no common interest. The President,
Bristow and Mrs. Mossel. who is II
very handsome woman, will be peces-
sarily among the witnesses.
NEW YORK, Dec. IS.
Hill of Georgia has been congratu-
lated by most OF the Southern mem
bers of The House and many conserva-
tive Republicans upon his opinions
| since he has expressed himself rs he
did in the interview with him pub
lished in the Herald. His attention
was called to-day to a N article tele-
graphed from Chicago to the Journal
in this city, (which assumes to patronize
| him from a Republican standpoint.
Referring to 1t no remarked, .'rhey
must not go To fast. They must not
| be too surc.'' Sons of the Southern
men, in whose way he stands, do not
think as highly of Hill. They say he
lacks Judgment. This of course comes
frou, his being an aspirant from Geor-
gia tor the ~Senatorship, about which
there is a lively Just now
MIR. Hill expects to win. He will
shortly speak on the question OF the
Union, and will claim that he always
was, as he is now, a Union man and
in favor of the Union.
NEW York, Dec. l6.
The Herald says Kelly's silver bill
passed the House by such a majority
that the views of leading financiers
| about 1t will be read with interest. a
! prominent Democratic banker OF Wall
| street feels quite confident that even il
the Senate should concur in the silver
bill, President Grant will veto it. His
arpressjou was that Grant would veto
! it Just as certainly as Tilden wonld.
He considers that whatever necessity
there may be in the House, the Senate
should not let this matter come before
them now, especially during the great
political excitement. The friends Of
the resum ptioa Of genuine specie pay
ments, have no occasion tc hurry mat
tiers in order to make use OF Grants
| aid, because Tildcn Is as strong for re-
sumption as Grant.
