Widow Oliver as a Lecturer.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Widow
Oliver lectured on her grievances i'll
Alexandria, Va, last night, before an
audience made up of about fifty young
men, who went to hear what the "old
gal" had to say. The lecture was dis
connected and rambling, and delivered
without the aid of manuscript. She
said that Cameron had bounded her
with paid spies. There were experts
and spies from the whole State OF Penn
svlvania, and her every step had been
watched. The hOary-headed old bank
ers came down, too, 20 say
that old Simon did not write those
letters. When Ben Butler posted her on
the char in the court house she felt
insol;ed. "There he sat like turtle,
she said, land when ! attempted 10
speak wanted to speak, and begged
nv counsel to let me speak, for was
not afaaid Of him. He woHld throw up
his hands describing his gestures and
lnrowing her head one side and cry
"stop! stop" She related that one OF
Mr.. Cameron's messengers, who would
have been good witness for her, was
afraid he would have been called on TO
testify, aud begged her not TO have him
summoned, for he would lose his place.
Pennsylvani was filled with such poor
growing creatures. Just think OF 1t.
Men afraid to testify for fear OF losing
their places! She thought the spirit
of Washington existed in Virginia, and
she did not believe that they could be
bought as spies and experts. at was

Cameron in Washington. | might as
we'll have gone IN the Dry TOrtugas
Why, when the last letter was put in,
Butler said NO; it will take two weeks
for the experts 10 act on 1t. IL she
had brought in bushel of SimOu Cam
eron's letters they would have met the
same fate. She then pictured General
Butler as turtle with his eyes closed,
and when opening them swapping, and
said he attempted 10 intimidate her; that
he called up Sam Barr. a kind Of meSsen-
gel. who, like some of the other Pennsyl-
vanians, perjured himself. Ii she lived

how they treat the Irish in this country.

Such men as Butler and Cameron ex-

She referred TO the treatment OF Grant
in Great Britain, saying that that nation
simply showed their politeness; but in
Cork the Irish were independent. She
was not through with the case yet, and
intended TO take il TO the Supreme Court
of the Unitod States. She was just as
good as Simon Cameron. She intended
to make Cameron and Butler know that
the law was for the poor as well as the
rich. She would like TO rally her Irish
friends and would have all to be Demo
cratic, and these aristOcratic people
should be taught that there is no rest
for the wicked, and she intended 10 90
TO Pennsylvania and beat him Cam
