Lawyer Campbell On Trial-He u

 CnNcnJNATI,SJune 1O.-In the trial of T. c. Campbell the testimony to-day against him was of a damaging nature. He was placed on the stand and testified in his own behalf. He declared the Berner verdict just and right eous, causing tremendous sensation in the court room. When questioned as to whether he had ever been arrested he replied: 'Yes- twiee-once for embezzlement and again for fast driving" He said that the party who charged him with embezzlement admitted that he was drunk at the time he had him ar- rested and the charge was withdrawn. Upon question as to whether these were the only times he had ever been arrested MT. Camp bell said they were, whereupon the prosecut- ing attorney handed him 8 transcript of g proceeding for bastardy against T. 0. Camp bell and asken if he had noe been arrested in Scioto county on that charge.

Benedict Arnold and John Andre.

The story of Arnold's treason and OF
the part played by Andre is too well
known to need recital here. 1t will be
remembered that Andre was tried by
numerous and very able board of Off
GERS Sept. %, 1850, who made the unan-
imous report that Maj. Andre, Adiutant
General of the British army, ought to
be considered as a spy from the enemy,
and suffer death The sentence was
approved by Wasli gton, and ordered
to be carried into effect the next day.
Sir Henry Clinton had already in note
to Washington asked Andres release.
as one who had been protected by "a
flag of truce and passports granted for
his return Washington replied by
inclosing to the British commander-in-
chief the report of the board OF inquiry,
and observed. that MAJ. Andre was
employed in the execution of measures
very foreign to flags of truce, and such
as they were never meant to authorize"
Bancroft then narrates as follows the
events Immediately subse 1uent: "At
the request of Clinton, who promised to
present q true state of facts, the exc
cution was DELAYED till the ID day of
October, and Gen. Robertson, at
tended 10y two civilians, came up the
river for conference The civilians
were not allowed to land. but Greene
was deputeA o meet the officer. In
stead OF pres nting facts, Robertson,
after compliments t. the character of
Greene, announced that he had come to
treat with him. Greene answered: The
case of an acknowledged spy admits of
no official dis ussion. Robertson then
proposed to free Andre 10y an exchange.
Greene answered: If Andre is set free,
Arnold must he given up for the liber-
alton of Andre could not be asked for
except in exchange for one who was
equally implicated in the complot.
Robertson then forgot himself so far as
to deliver an open letter from Arnold
to Washington, IN which, in the event
Arnold should suffer the penalty OF
death, he used these threats: shall
think myself bound by every tie of duty
and honor to retaliate on such unhappy
persons of your army as may fall within
nv power. Forty Of the principal in
habitants of South Carolina have Justly
forfeited their lives; Sir Henry Clinton
cannot in justice extend his mercy to
them any longer if Maj. Andre suf,

The pemoralizins Effect of Griee.

The case of the late Minister Hunt
is an illustration of the demoralizing
influence of public office. Mr.. Hunt
was one of the first lawyers of the
South, and in New Orleans he had q
large and lucrative practice. A few
years ago he was appointed Judge in
the Court Of Claims, life position.
In an evil hour he accepted Cabinet
position under Garfield. which OF
course became vacated soon after the
Presidents death. After endeavoring
in vain to get back upon the Court of
Claims or 20 be retained in the Cabinet,
he finally accepted the Russian minis
try as sort of exile. The question
will Immediately occur to every man
Why did not Mr.. Hunt resume his
legal practice? Why not, indeed ?
Simply because having for few years
held Office the attractions of it proved
too strong for his common sense. His
case is parelleled in every direction.
When a man has once been appointed
to an Office the plain responsibility of
private life has forever lost its charms
to him. He will neglect his private
business and incur any expense rather
than cease to be an official. - Chicago

Stories of Webster.

Mr.. Webster's continuance in Mr..
Tyler's Cabinet caused considerable shy
ness on the part of many of his old po-
htlcal associates toward him. After o
brief period the illustrious statesman
concluded the celebrated treaty with
England, which won for him a world
wide reno~n. 1t this juncture Col.
SeatOn gave a splendid banquet, at
which were n large number of Senators
and meml e $ of the House of Repre-
sentat;yes The convivialities had Just
commenced when the djgnilied form of
Webster was seen entering the parlor,
and as he advanced his big eye sur
veyed tie company, recognizing, doubt
less, omo Of those who had become
partially alitnatrd from him. On the
instant NJ sprang a distinguished Sen
ator from one of the large Southern
States, who exclaimed "Gentlemen, L
have sentiment to propose-the health
of our eminent statesman, the negotia-
tor of the Ashhuton treaty" The
company enthusiastically responded.
Webster instantly replied: Il have also
n sentiment for you the Senate of the
United States, without which the Ash
burton treaty would have been nothing,
and the ncgotiator Of that treaty less
than nothing The quickness and fit
ness of this at once banished every
doubtful or unfy 'ndly feeling. The
company clusterr, around the magnate
whose sprightly .al edifymg converse
ton never failed To excite admiration,
and the remainder of the evening was
spent in manner most agreeable to all.
Returning home on starlight even
ing, arm-in-arm with friend, Mr..
Webster suddenly halted, and, looking
upward, made n beautiful remark on
the appearance of the spangled sky,
which he concluded by repeating the
whole Of the eighth psalm, in which the
sweet singer of Israel so sublimely de-
scribes the glories Of the heavenly
bodies On another occasion, after
converSing with deep interest on various
subjects, Mr.. Webster checked the prog
ress of friend and recited several
verses from Virgil, which contained
sentiments similar to those edited by
the inspired writer. Whether his theme
was the past, the present, or the future,
the conversations of Mr.. Webster were
invested with an interest, strength, and
elegance which attracted. edited. and
left the fortunate listener wiser if not
n better man than before his interview

THE HISTORY OF A SCAR.
In Which Is Told How n Georgia Family,
Ono by One, Fell Before the DEGREES Of
Fate.

In which Is Told How n Georgia Family,
One by One, Fell Before the DEGREES. of
Fate.
Sitting on the veranda of little
white house on the northeast corner of
the town square, may be seen almost
any day wrinkled old white lady.
This lady has an eventful history.
Across her forehead there is a scar.
which she vainly tries to hide by letting
her white hair fall carelessly over it.
This scar she received in one of the
bloodiest faction fights of this section
during the days Immediately following
the surrender. She was the mother of
three sons and one daughter. OF the
sons, one joined the Confederate BUSH
whackers; another, being a Union man,
Joined what was known as the hog
backs, and the third remained at home
and devoted himself to the care of his
mother and his crippled father, with
varying fortune. This town was
first in the hands of one party and
then of the other, being alternately
plundered with equal fidelity by each.
The lady to whom this narrative re-
iates, having a son in each party, be-
came, unjustly, an object of suspicion
to all the neighbors, and for her there
was no peace. When the war ended,
these bandits were not prepared to lay
down their arms. The son who had
served with the hogbacks endeavored
to pay his mother stealthy visit by
night, but was shot dead as he placed
his foot upon the threshold, and when
his mother opened the door it was only
TO see his dead body drop into the
room. A few weeks later the cries of a
woman In house near by called for
help. This call was answered by the
son who had stayed at home. As he
entered the house the womans assail-
ant turned upon him and stabbed him
to the heart. For this the murderer
was put in Jail; but, by the aid of some
of his faction friends, he was rescued
and went to Kentucky, where he is now
one of the best-known stockmen of that
State.
The old lady now had but her in
valid husband, her Confederate son,
and her daughter left. A party Of
hogbacks, hearing of the sons arrived
at home, attacked the house one night,
and, entering it, made prisoner of the
young man. His father and mother
chung to him and pleaded to keep him,
when murderous blow from keen
knife swept across the mothers head,
sending her to the floor senseless.
When she came to, an hour later, the
party was gone, and her husbands dead
body was by her side. Next day the
body of her son was found outside of
town, mutilated beyond recognition.
1t required the presence of company
of Federal troops to quell the disor-
ders of the day. The old lady re-
covered, but with scar on her fore
head, to the history of which she al
ways recurs when forming new ac-
quaintance. Nor s6,atoaUn (Ga) Cor.

Mr.. LincOln's Craftsmanship.

No more difficult task has ever been
presented to any government than that
which Mr.. Lincoln and his Cabinet as
sumed in the month of March, 1861.
To Judge it now by any appearance of
irresolutlon, or by any seeming de-
ticiency of courage, would be trying it
by standard totally inapplicable and
unfair. Before and beyond all things,
MIR. Lincoln desired to prevent war,
and lie felt that every day of peace
gave fresh hope that bloodshed might
be avoided. In his inaugural address
he had taken the strongest ground for
the preservation of the tnion, and had
carefully refrained from every act and
every expression which would Justify.
even III the pablo opinion of the South,
an outbreak Of violence on the part of
the COnfedcrates. He believed that
the Southern revolt had attained its
great proportions in consequence of
MIR. Buchanan's assertion that he had
no power to coerce seeding State.
MI Lincoln had announced a different
creed, and every week that the South
continued peaceful his hope of AMIGA
BILE adjustment grew stronger He be-
heved that with the continuance of
peace the secessionists could be brought
to see that union was better than war
for all interests, and that in an especial
deg1 g the institution of slavery would
be imperiled by resort to arms. He
had faith in the sober second thought.
If the South would deliberate, the
Union would be saved. He feared that
the Southern mind was in the condi-
ton In which asingle untoward circum-
stance might precipitate q conflict, and
he determined that the blood of his
brethren should not be on his hands.
Mr. Lincoln saw, moreover, that war
between a divided North and united
South would be remedidless calamity.
LII, after all efforts at peace, war should
be found unavoidable, the administra-
ton had determined to so shape its
policy, so to conduct its affairs, that
when the shock came it should leave
the South entirely in the wrong, and
the Government of the Union entirely
in the right. Consolidated as might be
the front which the rebellion would
present, the administration was re-
solved that it should not be more solid,
more lmmovable, more courageous,
than that with which the supporters of
the Government would meet it. States
manship cannot be judged upon theo-
ries. 1t must be decided by results.
When that conclusive test is brought
to bear, Mr.. Lincoln's administration
of the Government in the weeks imme-
diately following his inauguration de-
serves the highest praise, and all the
more because it was compelled to dis
regard the clamor and disappoint the
expectations of many who had been
conspicuously influential in bringing it
into power, and who therefore thought
themselves entitled to give counsel

] THE FIRST SUIT.

A little old pair Of pants, good lack;
Embroidered in running vines;
With buttons Of brass both front and back.
To match the trousers tiny sack,
All buttons and fancy lines.
A little white shirt with tueks and lace.
That went with the trousers too
Laughed till the tears ran down my face
To think Of me in so small q space.
And how like gourd 1 grew.
It's nearly twenty years ago
That l wore this baby suit,
SO long that to-day do not know
III PRIDE IN my childish face did show
AS touched the silk-worked fruit.
Nearly-ah, mel All Of twenty yearsl
And 1t makes me feel so sad,
That truly my eyes are filed with tears
AT thoughts Of trials and hopes and fears
Which came to that little lad.
Poor little fellow I wish that he
Might have known what he knows to-day!
But, dear little boy, he couldn't see
That ever cloud on high might be-
Perhaps twas the better way.
For Done could tell II the years to come
Would saddened or joyful be,
Nor whether his weary feet would roam
From the good and true he learned at home,
And sc it seems good to me.
For the boy Of him died out one day,
man grew up in the place,
a very good man dare not say,
The boy was better-so fold away
The clothes with their ruffied lace
AT thought Of the trials and hopes and fears
OH feel indeed fun sad,
And truly my eyes are filed with tears,
When think a score Of thrifty years
is gone with the little lad.
