and with beaiing her.
She alleges that ii was only at the muz-
zle Of pistol that she compelled him TO
give her money enough to return hOne.
She accuses him of running her and

employed by the government IS an as.
sistant to the United States District
Attorney a numfe of times, but /
never was per diem employee, and /
venture the assertion that there is not
another instance on record, from the
foundation of the government to the
present time where special or assistant
counsel. to or for the government, were
SO employed other than in the present
star route cases. The government in
employing assistant counsel heretofore
has acted upon the principle that to
employ attorneys by the day would be
Offering a reward to such employees to
prolong the case to be tried, therefore
the government invariably secured as
sistant counsel upon a certain stipuia-
ted fee. You can very readily see
that if a lawyer is employed by the
day to look after matter wherein the
government is interested, and is his
paymaster, he will try to prolopg the
case. 1t is human nature, whereas if
he was paid certain stipulated fee,
he would bring the case to an end a.
soon as possible: Common sense can
see at glance that lawyer or law
yers employed by the government by
the day are mostly interested in con-
tinuipg the case. Lawyers thus en-
ployed neither work for conviction nor
acquittal, but, as / stated before, labor
to prolong the case, even if they have
to 60 SO far as to disgust the jury and

Chicago. March 31.-Au immense audi
ence was present Tonight at the meeting of

as to the result, as it was well known that
Sexton was in the very finest form and de-
termined tc give Schaeffer one of the hard
est kind of games. He did himself great
credit in playing great billiards, but not
great enough to beat the wonderful 'execu-
ton of Schaeffer. The latter was the IA
vorite in the betting at odds OF 100 to 40.
The game was on the race horse order
from start to stop. Sexton showed the most
speed at irst, but Sehaefirr in the seventh
inning made run of 1872, and led oy 15S
to 81, and followed with -, SO, IL and 81
in consecutive order, which took the score
10 go to Sexton "a Late in the sixteenth
inning Sexton made Al, in The seventeenth

points in three innings, and thereby went

Schaef1er took fresh hold in the twenty

A noteworthy court martial was
recently held at Fort Elliott, in which
private soldier was tried for attempting
to commit suicide. He was colored
infantryman, and it was specially sci
forth, as consequence of his offence,
that the strychnine which he swallow.
ed with intent to take his life had in
capacitated him for duty during sever
al days. He was found guilty and
sentenced to con6nemant at hard labor
for three months, with q forfeiture OF
pay. Military service looks at suicide
in a practical way. The reasons
man may have for being tired of life
are his own affair, and it does not feel
called upon to discuss them. But if q
soldier commits suicide during bis term
of enlistment, he deprives the govern
ment Of certain expected services, and,
besides, he may even be in arrears for
his clothing; while an unsuccessful
attempt at suicide is unsympathetical-
ly treated as rendering ones self i'll in
order to escape the performance OF
duty-an offense punishable under the
gid article of war.
