cial Exchange.
Philadelphia, Dec. 19-The Commercial
Exchange gave Gen. Grant public recep-
tion to-day. Exchange building was very
beautifully decorated. In response to re-
marks from President Bailey, Gen. Grant

to see how greatly our foreign trade can be
increased. In Europe it is already we'll
taken care of, but in the eaat America il
only beginning 10 be known and appreciated.
We are now badly represented there aud
will be until our policy shall be 80 changed
as to allow our representatives to increase
their compensation oy acting as business
agents Of American manufacturers, and bus.
mess houses, thus making it to their interest
to increase and develope trade rather than
repress it, as ia at present the case. Ap
pla,,se.
Mayor Stakely said: 1t is not part o
the programme that should say anything
but ! can scarcely help remarking that 70,
can now see how useful. If he ia ever agai.
called on officially, Gen. Grant could admin
lister the affairs Of the nation after his ex
tensive and careful observations abroad
This remark called forth round Of ap
plause.

At the opening of Part Of the Marine Court yes
terday before Judge McAdsm, counsel for the re-
spective parties in the suit Of Annie D. Smith
against Richard E. Bingham, the facts Of which ap-
peared in yesterdays HERALD, proceeded to sum up
before the jury Mr.. H. J. Blauvelt on the part Of
the defendant commended that all the facts developed
on the trial must lead the minds of the jury to the
inevitable conclusion that defendants wife had been
guilty of improper relations with Harry White.
which relations absolved husband from all legal
responsibility to provide for her support.
Ex-Judge George NJ. Curtis followed on behalf OF
the plaintiff, and the virtuous conduct OF the de-
PENDANTS wife being vital question in the he
devoted large portion Of his argument to earnest
and npassioned effort to sustain the purity of her
character. He claimed that to sustain the scandal
ous allegations spread out i'll the complaint nothing
cions. To convict her OF the immoral conduct
charged, counsel said, the jury wonld have to find
in favor of the monstrous proposition that woman
in infirm health, in public boarding house. with
her chamber door unlocked and partially open, had
not only invited intrusion from all occupying the
her eighty earold boy present for the purpose
Judge McAdam charged the jury matter OF law
that the husband was bound under an implied con-
tract strangers for reasonable supplies furnished
his wife and children proportionate to his crcum
stances life, IL he had failed himself make such
provision or by his conduct had made 1t necessary
for his wife children to separate from him; but
he had provided home suitable TO his means, HAD
given has wife no just cause to separate from him.
and she, without cause, had lett hun, or had COM
mitted adultery with another. he was not liable.
After brief absence the jury found a verdict in
thus incidentally vndicating the character of Mrs.
