The great seal is affixed to nothing but
treaties, proclamations, commissions, par

had been in use since the foundation of the
government, was worn put and replaced by
a new one in the early part of 1856. 1t is a
curious fact that the old one which was
used so long was imperfect and never did
answer to the description set down in the
statutes.
Although using the seal is supposed to be
a solemn affair, and the penalty for its i'm,
proper use is SO tremendous, it is left in
charge Of a clerk, just like any other piece
of furniture, and it is doubtful if the secre.

been connected with many transactions

The first iptimation that he was guilty
OF other crimeh was received by the officer
who made the arrest, while bringing his
prisoner from Springfield to Eugene.
Bennington did not seem to know on
what charge he was arrested, and asked
if the warrant was issued on telegraphic
advices. The officer, thinking he might
draw out some information. answered
in the affirm ative. At this Bennington
became very much agitated. and ex-
pressed a wish to die rather than to be
brought to face the charges. This tends
to the belief that he is guilty Of more
serious offenses than on which he is
booked. In his possession were found
many signatures of men in different
parts of the country. including q mum.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 25.-R. Porter Ashe,
concerning whom T. H. Williams OF
San Francisco has said some bitter
things, has his racing stable here and lie
at present living here. He and Thomas
H. Williams. jr., who succeeds him as
guardian Of Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry,
are enemies of long standing. Porter
Ashe is quoted as saying that instead
OF employing the widows money for
purposes OF his own, he has continually
been compelled to use his money to
keep her provided for in the asylum at
Stockton, as she and her husband lost
all they had in fighting the Sharon case.
Mrs. Terry has a brother. who, Mr.. Ashe
says, does not lend her any assistance.
"When Judge Terry was killed." said
he, "his estate was valueless and Mrs.
Terry had little more than her personal
effects and q house at Fresno, CAL, +,
which WAS under heavy mortgage. l
am sure that Williams is an instrument
in the hands OF certain influential resi-
dents on the coast. Among Mrs. Terry's
private papers are come documents
which have never been published, and
which those parties would like to have
in their possession, as they do not place
them in favorable light at all. This,
think, was the reason was deposed as
guardian OF Mrs. Terry. Williams is a
willing tool, though. When the time
comes will demonstrate to the public
that my enemies have been making fools
OF themselves in this fight"
