The Case Of senator Corbin.

Our readers have been made acquainted
with the charges against SenatOr-elect Cor
BIN, of South Carolina, and also with his
defense, showing their falsity and the ami
mus which instigate1 them. 1t will be rec
objected that it was alleged by his assail-
ants that CoRBIN obtained his election to
the United States Senate by the CHAMBER
LAIN Legislature through bribery, and that
the money used for this purpose was State
funds, which Mr.. CoRBIN had recovered for
the State in certain suits, but had failed to
pay over and had Incorporated to his
own uses. On the other hand, Mr.. CoRBIN
accounted for all the money that he recoy-
cred for the State, simply reserying as fees
exactly what the proper tribunal awarded
him. He also showed that, subsequent to
his election, he had advanced certain
amount of money to the State Treasurer
(CARDOZo), with which to meet the ex-
penses of the Legislature during the period
of financial chaos that resulted from the
attempt to run two rival State governments
The absurdity of the charge of bribery is
at once apparent when il is. considered that
Mr.. CoRBIS was the regular Republican
candidate, and the Legislature at the time
of his election had very decided Republi-
can majority. Where was the necessity of
bribing his own partisans? Surely there
could have been none. Is it cOntended that
he bribed any of those pure, immaculate
South Carolina Democrats who had the
chivalrous BUTLER and the patriotic GARY
constantly before them for examples? In
possible! Why then accuse him of brib-
cry? Shall we be told that so early as the
date of Mr.. CoRBIN's election the RcpubIi-
can members of the CHAMBERLAIN Lcgis-
lature knew that they were to be sacrificed
Notwithstanding the solemn and sacred
guarantees of WADE HAMPTON that all
should he secure, and have protection in
their liberties their rights, and their privi,
leges; and that consequently they had bet
ter secure their per diem at once? Shall we
be told that a knowledge of all these things
was so we'll assured in advance of the action
of President HAYES MS to be known to the
members of the CHAMBERLAIN Legislature
while HAMPTON and BUTLER were still
| piling evidence and influence on the tables
of the Executive Mansion and the Depart.
mcnt of Justice to convince the President
and General DEvENs that there need be nc
apprehension of persecution and wrong
being done to Republicans in South Carolina
if they and their cOnfreres were only al
lowed to have the control? The idea
is absurd too absurd for moments

Nine. Douglass, who had been patient In the

All Of her affections were conferred In cat,
which for six years had been her constant
companion, and u which she olung almost to
the minute Of her death.
She had spent the twenty. five years Of her
life In the asylum rearing cats taking kit
ten before II was old enough to feed itself
and beginning to ICED II with a spoon. She
would not allow her pet to tako morsel Of
food which she dill not give IL with q SPOON
and the result was that the cats raised learned
to eat only from her hands. After ono cat
died her attendants would at once provide her
with another kitten. She dotted on her pet
animal a. though it was child, and called Il
Louise, Marie, Lizzie. Victoria, and nearly
every name that Is used for girls.
Her last pet was very largo white cat,
which at her death weighed twenty-six pounds.
She stuffed It's mouth with food whether il
would eat or not, and kept II exceedingly fat.
After she died the cat was as helpless as

patients adopted Il, and continued to feed II

thing more explicit than has heretofore
been known regarding, the fast freight
lines on the great roads West, which
have been generally believed 10 have
been inside organizations out Of which
directors were teapipg a profit at the

conference both Mr.. Vanderbilt, Of the
Central, and Mr.. Scott, Of the Pennsyl.
vania roads, made statements regarding
these lines. They claim that the lines
are purely cooperative, and framed by
the companies over whose lines they
pass, each company furnishing cara &C.
eording 10 the mileage Of the road. Mr..
Vanderbilt said that in regard to the
lines on his road the organization was
keptup for the facilities which they have
Of procuring freight and business, andit

The National and Union were purchased
two and three years ago by the railroad

freight for Eastern shipment over the
