AN INGENIOUS DEFENCE.
The Peculiar Arguments Used by Cler-
gYman in a Pension unnf,s Case

The Peculiar Arguments Used by "A Cler-
gyman i'm Pension Agents Case.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-An interesting de-
fence of A. B. Webb, one of the pension attor-
neys recommended by Commissioner Dudley
for disbarment. was made by the Rev. DrSun-
derland in hearing before the Secretary of
the Interior. He not only attempted to give
an explanation of how Webb came to file the
claims of Confederate soldiers, but he defend
ed him at length against the complaint of hay
ing used aashy circulars to attract and delude
persons who were to be encouraged to become
claimants for new or increased pensions, The
competition for pension business is made one
excuse for this cash advertising, and the use of
pictures of soldiers, eagles, and other attract
i've and suggestive objects, are justified in the
following language:
why the government, itself, at an annual
heavy cost, maintains bureau for the express
purpose of getting up all manner of devices to
spread out on almost every piece of paper it
puts forth among the people. The national
currency is covered all over with these devices
So are the postage stamps, the government
bonds, the land warrants, and everything else
In which the government is dealing. Shall we
presume to say that these flaming cuts and de-
vices are prima facie evidence of fraud and in
territorial deception?"
This argument very graphically indicates
the reason why the pension agents employed
the devices referred to- The fact that they
were employed by the government has un-
doubtedly been taken advantage of by the
agents to adorn their circulars with them, and
thus stamp them with an appearance of Off
cial sanction to which they were not entitled.
1t may be remembered, too, that the secret
service OF the government has made many
seizures of advertising cards in which these
emblems have been made use of, and that ar.
rests have been made for using national en-
blems to deceive ignorant. careless or ill-in-
formad narsana

OUR MINERAL RESOURCES
Report of the Emitted states Geologis..

Report of the United States GeOlOgist,
WASHINGTON Dec. 5.-The report of Albert
Williams, Jr., of the United States geological
survey, upon the mineral resources of the
United States, makes closely printed volume
of more than 500 octave pages, and is COM
plete statistical review of the present condition
of the mining industries of the country, with
some comparative statements of the mineral
output of other countries as are necessary to
show the relation which the product of the
United States bears to the available mineral
resources of the world From tue closely con-
densed summary statement with which the re-
port begins, it appears that the total val ne of
the metallic products ofa the United States in
1882 was S219, ,756, ,004. The total value of the
non-metallic mineral products, such as coal,
petroleum, lime, building stone, salt, &C.,
$226, ,156, ,406, making grand total of $445,-
912, ,410 as the value of all the minerals pro-
duced in the United States lost year. After
this brief preliminary statement the report
takes MP separately the various mineral pro-
ducts of the United States which enter into
commerce, and gives full description of the
composition, distribution and geological situs
of each, with chronological history of its in
dustrial development, and of its use in the sew
eral arts as well as classified statistics of its
production One volume also contains an ap-
proximately complete list, arranged by States,
OF the places in the United States where useful
minerals have been found in quantities great
enough to pay for working, aud statement to
show whether or not such mineral resources
are now being utilized.

1t is said that the business OF one man in

business, amounted last season to over two
million dollars.
The benefit to trade in general here by the
fish business is great Mr.. A. M. Smith tells
the following to illustrate the help the fishing
business is to the retailer: One day when
there was a fishing feet in port he went 10 the
bank to draw $500 aud the paying teller said
that the fish dealers would drain them that
day. Instead OF having large stacks of bills
piled up behind him he was obliged to go TO
the receiving teller to get the amount wanted.
But the next day, when Mr.. Smith went to de-
posit, the paying teller had the usual stack OF
bills behind him, showing that the fishermen
spent their money the day before, and that 1t
had all got back to the bank again.

THE PoCASSET MURDER.


Freeman, the Murderer of His Child,
| s Sent 90 a Lunatie Asylum for Life.
| BARNsrABLE, Mass, Dec. 5.-The trial of
CHARLES Freeman, the Pocasset lunatic, for the
murder on May IS, 1879, of his little daughter
Edith, in religious frenzy, was commenced
here today in the Supreme Court.
The medal examiner testified to finding the
body of the child in Freeman's honse. Free
man described the position of the child at the
time he struck and irelated other incidents Of
the murder. freeman gave as the reason why
he killed slhe child that Abraham's
faith overpowered him For months he be-
leved that God made direct communication
70 his children, and for two weeks believed
that God had special work for him to do. He
found that the proof Of faith was the sacrifice
OF his youngest child. The witness did not
think him responsible for the deed at the time
of the murder.
The second witness was Alvin Wing of Po-
casset, who had known Freeman for ten
years. He saw him the day following the
murder, He told witness to see Seectman
Nye and tell everybody to come to his house
at O'Clock that afternoon, but did not give
any reason. At that time Freeman dwelt up
on the Bible before some 25 of his neigh
Dors but informed them Edith lay dead in an
adjoining room, but would rise the third day.
He gave no particulars of how the death oc-
CURED. Freeman's feelings toward the child
were aHectionate, more so than with the other
children.
This closed, the evidence for the government.
Freemans counsel, Mr.. Tabor, then presented
the defence to the jury, informing them that
Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman would give their ideas
ss tPsg ss axistsd I'd at the time of thu rarrdar
witnesses Tor the defence were then called.
The substance of their testimony WINS to the
effect that Freeman was affectionate to his
children, an Interested Bible student and al
lowed his religious devotion to interfere with
business. Mrs. Freeman, wife of the prisoner,
then took the stand.
She testified that her husbands conduct
was always affectionate. He had a sunstroke
in 1875 His devotion to Christianity increased
year by year until it interfered With his busi-
ness. He had three visions the night before
the deed and said God had ordered him to do
something. Her feelings were the same as her
husbands at the time OF the tragedy but now
were entirely changed.
Dr. Folsom of Boston, an expert, testified
that Freeman was insane in 1878 and thought
he was not not responsible for the deed.
DIR. John P. Brown, superintendent of the
Taunton Insane Asylum, also thought there
was no doabti that Freeman was insane at
the time of the tragedy.
james II. Denny of Boston testified that
Freeman was a religious monomaniac.
DR.. Peter Pinco of Boston said the prisoner
was certainly insane at the time the deed was
committed and not in the least responsible
After the charge by Chief Justice Morton,
the jury at 3.20 retired and in few moments
brought in verdict of not guilty by reason of
insanity, whereupon Judge Morton gave an
order committing Charles E. Freeman to the
Dsnvers Lunatic Hospital during his natural
