Il Manly Letter from Gen. Terry, IN scIieh
He -ianomnccs His Change OF Opinion.
Fort SMELLING, Mimi. Nov. 10. 1882.
DEAR GENERAL: Will you permit me to
express to you the very great qualification
with which I have read your article in the
Moth American Rcreiw:. Dealing, as it
does, with only the great es- entail points
OF Pofters case, and brushing aside as
unworthy of serious notice all the petty
sophistries with which his opponents have
sought to confuse the public mindit seems
to me that It must carry conviction to ev-
cry fair, unparalleled man.
The questions involved in Porter's case
are, of course, partly legal and partly
military. Long ago the best legal authori-
ty OF the country-such men as B. r.
Gu It's, Charles O'Connor, and Daniel Lord
= declared that the rules Of law were vio-
lated by the conviction of Porter. even as
and now that the highest military authori-
ty of the nation has pronounced in his
favor upon the military questions, what is
there Lett for the government and the peo-
pie to do except to hasten to make such
reparation as may yet be possible for the
| wrong which has been done?
As perhaps you know, once, like your
self, believed Porter to be guilty. 1 be-
lieved that he had committed a crime so
great that mere human law could provide
no adequate punishment for it. But when
| it became my duty to examine into the
case carefully, l found that I had grossly
erred. | found that instead'of being
criminal he was martyr.
So believing. it is source of very great
satisfaction to me that have borne some.
small pact in his yindication.ss
Looking back ovec the years which have
elapsed since I entered the military SER
vice, find nothing that gives me so much
pleasure as the fact that have had some
part in that vindication. aud I can think
of nothing il the future which would be
| so grateful TO me as to be able to do some
thing more in behalf of one who has sui
fered SO grieyously and SO unjassly. While
I feel thus, you may imagine the gratif-
cation with which [ find that the opinion
| which I now entertain, that what I believe
to be the caase of ttath, of right and of
justice, is SO strongly supported by your
| SELF; and you will pardon me, 1 am sure,
for expressing to you my feelings. Very
sincerely and respectfully,
Alfred H. TERRY.

MATRfMONEAL MISERY.

\ Prominent Chicago Attorney and Pc
clan Applies for a Divorce from Ii :
Wife.
Special Telegram to the G'oba.l
CHICAGO. Dee. l5.-On Wednesday last
bill in chancery was fled in The superior
court which was Immediately ordered by
Judge Jameson to be suppressed, and was
sent up to his court. The reporters had
40 clew to the parties or object Of the bill
except that it was No. S5,936. By labc-
rious searching through the index yester-
day, they learned that the bill was bill for
divorce, fled by Simeon W. King, the
United States commissioner, against his
wife, Grace M. King. An effort was made
to learn the ground of the prayer for di-
vorce, but without success. Mr.. King
brought the suit for himself, and
positively declined to divulge anything,
Judge Jameson was applied to, but said
the bill would probably be suppressed for
considerable time to come. Simeon w.
King, the gentleman who asks to be di-
vorced from his wife, is an attorney, and
at present a United States commissioner,
commissioner of deeds for all the states
and territories and Canada, commissioner
of the United States court of claims, pass
port agent and notary public. He lives at
81 Wabash avenue. and his Office is in the
First National bank building. Mr.. King is
about forty-fve years old, but his gray hair
gives him the appearance of much more
venerable age. He has for
some years been an
active campaigner for the Republican par
ty, and although not exactly the most elo-
quent orator, has been frequent speaker
at campaign gatherings. Ii there is any
peculiar reason why Mr.. Kings divorce
bill should be especially screened from
publicity il is left entirely to conjecture,
as are also the undoubtedly interesting
facts concerning the disagreement Of Mr..
and Mrs. King.

ALBANY, N. z. Dec. 15.-Before Attorney
General Russell to-day, in the case OF
Greaves and others against the Western
Union Telegraph company, seeking per
mission to compel that corporation to va
cate its charter, an able argument was
made by Gen. David H. Hubbard on be-
half of the applicants. Gen. Hubbard
sought to show that the Western Union
company had gone on absorbing rival
companies, increasing its capital stock and
pursuing policy calculated to crush all
competition, and that it had violated the
law repeatedly and defantly, General
Manager Swain, on behalf of the respon-
dent, urged that the statute of limitations
ran and held that the complainants had re-
Gently purchased their grievances. He
defended the various aud successive issues
of stock by the Western Union and main
tanned that each and all of its transactions
had been sanctioned by law. Gen. Frances
c. Barlow followed General Swain, and
after complimenting the attorney general
on the soundness of his decision in allow
ing suit to be brought by the people
against the Mutual Union, continued that
what was sauce for the goose, was sauce
for the gander." He then proceeded in an
easy and brilliant manner to controvert
the points made by General Swain, aiming
to establish that the statute of l848 under
which the Western Union was organized
did not confer authority to increase its
capital stock, and that all such increases
had been in violation of the spirit ana IN
tent of the statute. Further hearing was
adjourned until tomorrow at O'Clock.

edge. Whatever danger there might be in
the experiment, for himself and for those
who were associated with him, he accepted
the responsibility before the American
people. This was q measure in the in
terest of the individual people, and if an
additional tax was to be levied
for its support, let it fall on
the aggregated capital of the
country. Another change in the bill was
the omission of the provisions for the
interests, what was known as special mail
facilities. Instead of spending $1,000,OoO,
which had been appropriated, the post
master general had found it necessary to
spend only $185,000, yet at the last session
there was great ciamor for special facil-
tiles. All those, facilities were given to
certain special trains that left New York
in the gray of the morning just after the
metropolitan papers were issued and
reached the country in advance os the To-
cal press. He did not object to that, but
he did object paying for special facilities
for mail carried on regular passenger
trains. BE had been directed by the com
mlttee on appropriations to offer the
amendment to the bill providing that COM
pensation for carrying mail to railroad
companies that received government
aid IN bond subsidies as we'll
as land grants shall noi exoee,.
so per cent. of the amount allowed by law
as compensation for the same service by
railroads which bad not received govern
ment aid. OF course, this amendment was
for the benefit of the people, and when
that was done at the expense of power, the
individual who took share in that benefit
suffered at the hands of the powers. When
a man undertook to benefit individual in
terests, he must expect to receive

THE WEATHER..

Those of philosophical turn of mind can
console themselves with the reflection that we
have plenty of weather, if nothing else. We
have had an abundance of weather So far this
year, with fair prospect of continuance OF
the rainiest, muddiest and most disagreeable
time remembered in this section for many
years. There has been more less rain every
day this month except one land notwithstand-
ing the mud and the almost impossible condi-
tion of the roads, the water does not seem to
have penetrated far into the earth. We are
told that in digging grave at Bethesda
church-yard last Sunday, only two feet below
the surface the earth was dry and hard. Some
of the wells that failed during the summer
are filling slowly but it is also mentioned
thatsome wells which furnished water through
out the dry season are now beginning to fail,
Notwithstanding the heavy rainfall of the last
three weeks
