him after the suit. Knows that when she wrote

had read letter, dated Dec. 9th, 1875. In which
she processes to give the details of Mr.. C's con-
versatiOn at the hotel. and speaks Of having
him turned out OF the Senate. The most of this
letter is too ihdelicate TO publish. Much Of it IS
In regard to Anna Davis, and she closes by say
ing: "Revenge is now mine, If it costs me my
life;" and Gamma Davis told Mrs Smith that she
would get you drunk and have you to marry
her, and now she says you are married"
Witness never spoke to Anna Davis but once.
and this was a little while before Congress ad-
lourned Witness asked her when Mr.. Cameron
would be home, and she said he generally
arrived at o'clock sunday night. The inter
view was immaterial.
GEN. BUTLER MAKES A REMARK FOR WHICH He
APOLOGIES TO THE COURT.
Gen. Butler.-If this was the only interview
you had, how came you to pen the outrageous
falsehoods contained in the letter? THE letter
above referred tO.]
Mr.. Peters objected to this mode of examtna-
ton, and claimed that lady should not be ill.,
suited.
Gen. Butler replied that he yielded to no
known man in his devotion to the sex, and re
peated what he had asked. When woman is
good she is above the angels, and when bad she
is below the angels.
The court minated that the language was
not proper.
Gen. Butler said he owed an apology to the
court, and remarked that SO long as Mr.. Cam
eron was here he could control himself, but
when the name of lady Is brought In who has
nothing but her character, he may have allowed
his feelings to get the better of him.
THE POWDER.
told her that Anna Davis got the medicine and
he CO. opened her mouth and put 1t In. It was
powder. She believed now that II she had
swallowed all the powder 1t would have killed
her. She took about half Of the powder. Wit
ness mentioned to Mr.. Riddle that she was with
child by Mr.. Cameron.
The counsel for plaintiff objected, as Mr.. Rid
Ole was an attorney Of this court, and what
passed between them was privileged
Gen. Butler claimed that the rule did not ap-
ply to the client, but as to the attorney, and he
proceeded to argue that there should be no class
privileged, notwithstanding the telegraph Of
Ulcers, the press, the priests all sought to be
privileged. The privilege as to attorneys was
as TO suits pending, and was restricted.
The court ruled that the communications be-
tween counsel and client are privileged, but
the witness had waived her right by coming on
the stand.
The plaintiff objected.
By the time the hour OF recess zone o'clock,
was reached there was perfect jam in the
court room, the crowd being even larger than
yesterday.
The following are among the letters in the
hands of counsel:
