night and several other nights with her.
She told him that she had been seduced
while employed at Osborn's by a man
named Johnnie Platt, under promise of
marriage; that she had child by him,
which was born alive, but afterwards
died. He took her south to Raleigh
and afterwards to Louisville. He
lived with her in different places from
August, '54, to June 1st, go, at which
time he left her. On June 5, 1860, he
married his present wife. He never
lived with plaintiff in his mothers
house while in Louisville; his mother
had nothing to do with her. No cere-
mony of marriage was ever performed
between him and plaintiff, by his book
keeper. He had denied publicly and
repeatedly to several persons before he
left plaintiff that she was ever his
wife, and at no time did he ever call
her Mrs. Oliver or allow her to he

Washington, March 81. : Senator
Blaine is preparing an elaborate and
extremely powerful speech for delivery
in the senate at some fitting oppor-
tunity during the present session, in
reply to the eastern criticisms on his
advocacy of the anti Chinese bill. He
will support the position taken by him
in the debates on that measure, and in
his letter to VIM. Lloyd Garrison, by
an overwhelming array of arguments,
based on facts, precedents and authori-
ties, many of which will be found sur
prisingly fresh, even by Pacific coast
readers, and which, there is reason to
hope, will have most beneficial effect
in further enlightening eastern senti-
ment.

A Boston house is about to publish
life of Gen. Butler. At first thought
we congratulate our lucky stars that
there is no law that can force us to
read this work, whatever others may
think of it. Aside from this we can
see nothing to disprove the idea that
this is part of Ben's political scheme
to be a candidate for president next
year. 1t would perfectly acc cord,- too,
with the eternal fitness Of things, if
Wendell Phillips should prove to be the
biographer. But then the obligation
would rest on Butler to write Wendell's
history, and the double infiction is
possibly more than an over-patient pub
lie can stand. As Ben's life is about
to be letter-pressed for certain, calm
ness and moderation is the best counsel
at our command. There is one sug-
gestion, the adoption Of which might
take much off the edge Of the popular
Indignation at the publication, and
that is to have nice frontispiece il
lustration of Benjamin's ability to
white-robe politics, and to assume for
himself the garb and station of an
archangel.
