The Chrlstiancy Divorce Case-Tesfimony
OF the Ex-senator.
WASHINGTON, May z5th.-ln the Chris
tiancy divorce suit, the testimony OF ex'
Senator Christisncy is being taken. In con-
nection with it several important letters have
been put in, among them letter written by
Christiancy on the 18Th Of August, 1878, to
his wife's father, w. Lugenbeel, with regard
to Mrs. Christiancy's alleged bad conduct.
It begins with reference to correspondence
between himself and Miss Lugenbeel before
their marriage, correspondence in which
Christiancy says he endeavored to carefully
and scrupulously convince her that she
ought not to marry him, and In which
he insisted many times that she
should reconsider the matter. He admitted
that he loved her, and said if after full and
mature consideration she still wished to
marry him, he would consent. He declared
that she still wished him to make her his
wife, and as a gentleman he had only one
course to take. The marriage took place,
and if the love which she professed for him
had really existed, nothing, he says, could
have made him happier. On the morning OF
| the wedding however, she heard of the return
| Of James Lugenbeel and tainted. When they
| reached Philadelphia, and were alone, she
| told him she had been engaged to Lugenbeel;
| that the engagement had been broken, and
she did not know how deeply she loved him
until his name was mentioned. She said she
had periured herself in her marriage vows,
| was miserable, and wanted divorce forth
with. When they returned to this city, all
| went well until she met Lugenbeel in an art
| gallery, and from that time she seemed de-
| iected and desperate, and again asked for a
divorce. Soon after this Frank Anderson
became attentive to her, and her affections
seemed to attach themselves alternatiTely to
him and to Lugenbeel. Again came the
frenzy for divorce. Finally she qu;eted
down and appeared TO think more
of her husband. After she returned in
| August, 1876, her love for Anderson broke
out afresh, and her hatred for her husband
| increased. She also had fondnsss for Sam
Register, Of Baltimore. and for one Mayer.
| She often declared she wishsd her husband
dead, aud said he was all that stood between
her and happiness. Christiancy then refers
to the fact that his wife went to the Healing
Springs in preference to going to Saratoga or
| Kansas with him, and says he felt suspicious
that she had gone to the springs with some
Old liver. and when she wrote him she
tainted him with bsing old did not pretend
to love him; said she would not live with
him that she would spend all the money she
pleased that she would run him in debt, and
that she wanted divorce. The husband
replied that he could not quarrel with her, nor
would he be ruined in the way she proposed.

The long-contested squabble over the Post

Johu ?. Clum, the incumbent, was a strong
| candidate for resppointment was nominated
by the President and confirmed by the Senate
some time since, but his commission was held
up, and in the meantime Brooks received
the nomination, and was also con-
frmed, and his commission withheld for
several months during the hotly.contested
