A Cincinnati Tragedy.

There has been no tragedy in the his Z
tory of Cinncinnati, says the CONNER
cidl of that city, that has been more dis
tressing than that of the death of Mrs.
John Church, on New Years Day. The "
whole story is bitter one, and in many .a,,
particulars the art of TIE dramatist is as
Intellectual in compal son. A home to-
all appearance happy was, few years %
ago, invaded by, the scarlet-feyer, and
the oldest, a boy named his mothers
family name, after weeks OF! suffering, ssp
was taken. Two little girls were sorely i
stricken, but survived. The mother '''''
was worn out with grief and watching,
and the father sorely harassed. In
moment of irritation there was u scene
of excitement that was strange, and the !.
wife said there was violence. The. sim-....
putation was resented by the, husband.
The wife left her home for her father s sl
house. There was a sepatation The Il.
children were two little, girls. Each Of
the parents took oneio OF them, and they :
were taken to New England. V, The sep-T g
aration of the children was terrible. The
one in the custody Of the mother died. 81
Then, as during the fatal illness of the .
little boy, she Showed how fervent was
her mothers love, and the wife's heart,
appears in the tender messages to the
husband from the ideath-bed side of the !
little one. And now there was but one
Ieft-little Edith-and the mother griev-
ed over separation from her-morrned
for her children like. Rachel for the.
children when they were not Her PEI
tition for divorce was to get possession Il
of her child. Her whole soul was in
chat, for the sake of her child. Testi-
mony was being taken, and her ankle
ties were inexpressible. She did not eat {
enough to sustain her strength, and, fall
| ING i'll, begged for her child. It was u
sent for, and most unhappy nisunder-e
standing arose Instantly upon her ar
rival. The announcement had been d
made to the suffering woman that Edith
was on the way, and she frightened.
Edith was taken to the sick-room; and, ~
weary with travelling, fell asleep on the
mothers bed, and the neither loeked
| upon her sleeping, innocent with eyes M
giistening. with JOY, oy not knowing that
| the parting was TO come so soOn- The o.
news that the child must 60 was COM,
municated to the reviving invalid, and
she was heartbroken by the blow and 9

the lawyer which the child handed d'mn, q
only an attempt to circumYent, him and !,

-and that every might he was on the Z
cars with poor Edith, bearing her to her
Eastern home, fully convinced that the 4
illness. of his wife was but part of deep
laid scheme to gain an advantage. The =
death Of islWife, will probably reveal to-
him the truth that he was awfully mis-
taken; and we hope he hasilno enemy

A $4,000 LIBEL SUIT.

The Cincinnati Commercial the Victim and
Seduction Case the Bats.
cincinnati Cor. (Feb. 24) Chicago Inter Ocean.
Warrants are out here tonight for the ar
rest of Murat Halsted, editor of the CONNER
cial, Edwin Henderson, his city editor, and
DR.. Mccarthy, of this city, On the charge of
criminal libel. Papers have also been made
out in suit against the Commercial for
$4,000 damages, in the publication of an
alleged libel and defamation of character.
The actions are brought by Col. L. G. Camp
bell, prominent attorney here, between
whom and some of the Commercials corps
there has been feeling for years. The imme-
diate cause of this action is the publication
of an interview in the Commercial of to-day
with DR.. Mccarthy, in which Campbell is
charged with having had in his possession a
silver porcupine paper weight, which Nc
Carthy alleged belonged to him. The histo-
ry of the case is somewhat compli-
Gated. Some months ago Miss
Dickey, who had been very promi-
nent in society here, brought suit, alleging
seduction and breach of promise and
bastardy against John Tytus, a prominent
and wealthy young married man residing
near here. The investigation of the cas-
brought to the surface charges or intima
tons that two other prominent young men
| one a son of the most noted merchant of the
city, had been also on terms with Miss
Dickey equally intimate with those charged
against Tytus. The affair created much ex-
element in social circles, and has been the
principal talk in the upper strata of society
for months. On Christmas some important
papers in the possession of DIR. Mccarthy,
| who had attended Miss Dickey in confne-
ment, were stolen, and it was charged that
this had been instigated by Mr.. Campbell,
the attorney of Tytus. To-day the Com
anercial published an interview with McCar-
thy, in which he charges that he found IN
Campbell's Office silver porcupine paper
weight, which was taken from his desk at
the time when the papers were stolen, and
that as an inference he concluded that
Campbell instigated the robbery, or. at least,
received the stolen property. Campbell
strenuously denies the charge, and brings
the statements of a number of prominent
citizens to support his denial, and claims
that the article is instigated by malice on the
part of some of the Commercial correspond
ents, and brings suit and order of arrest as
above. The warrants are to be issued in the
morning. The libel suit will also begin a,
once.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-To-day's cabinet SEES
sion was one of great interest as it was devoted
to some extent in discussion of the trials now
in progress in New Orleans, and also in an in
terchange of views on the subject of the silver
bill. In reference to the
SENTENCE OF GEN. ANDERSON,
it is understood very decided opinions were ex-
pressed to the effect that the interference of
the Governor of Louisiana in favor of Anderson
should not be withheld. So far as can be
learned, no communication has been sent from
any representative of the general government
to the executive of the State of Louisiana, but
it was remarked to-day by an official holding
close relations with the administrations that,
in this matter, there wss

on the part of the President. It seems prob
able the government awaits further proceedings
in the New Orleans courts before entering into
the subject from this point. The general inn
preston is that Governor Nichols ought to and
will interfere. The members of the cabinet
are unusually reticent regarding the tenor of
the discussion upon
THE SILVER BILL,
or as to the probable results. There is, how
