THURSDAY EVENING. NAB. 10. 1856.

EX-GOVERNOR CAMPBELL says he IS
not a Presidential candidate and that
his name will not be presented to the
national democratic convention. But
that is no reason why it should not be,
and that it should be, is proved by his
recent letter on the subject, to the effect
that unity and harmony are the essen
tial requisites for democratic success
next November, that success is vastly
more important to the democratic par
tv and to the country than any other
consideration, and that though ne does
not favor free silver coinage, he will
heartily support his psrty's nominee
irrespective of the latter's opinion on
that subject. That's the way all good
and true democrats talk, and the
democrat who doesn't talk that
way is not good and true
member of his party, and the
proposition to nominate for President a
man who doesn't talk, and act, that
way, is both injurious and provoking.
No sane man believes, no matter what
he may say, in the democracy OF DEM
ocratic President who emphatically re-
fused even to write note in favor OF
the election of the democratic ticket IN
his own State, nor do people OF COM
mon sense put any confidence in the
democracy of democratic Secretary OF
the Treasury who denied the request OF
the democrats of his State to advise ms
small following in the legislature there
of to cast their votes for the regular
Senatorial nominee of the democratic
caucus of that body. A true man
stands by his party, as true citizen
does by his country, right or wrong, OF
if his conscience wont let him do so, ne
abaudons it, and joins another one.

YOUNG MILLIKEN ON TRIAL

YOUNG MILLIKEN ON TRIAL
The frequently deferred trial of Ben
jamin H. Milliken, we'll known young
Tennesseean, accused of housebreaking
July 4th last with intent to commit an
assault on Miss Gertrude Phillips,
daughter of ex-Solicitor General Phil
lips, and well known in society, began
in the criminal court in Washington
Yesterday. The courtroom was crowd
ed. Milliken pleaded not guilty, and
thereupon the prosecution and defense
outlined their course. District Attor-
nev Birpey said he would prove that
Milliken called at Judge Phillips house
on the night of July 4th last; that Miss
Phillips refused to see him and sent
down to him a number of gifts he had
presented to her. Milliken then went
away, and about one O'Clock the next
morning. Miss Philips was awakened by
a slight noise and an odor of what she
thought was chloroform. The govern
ment contendsd that as the door
was locked Milliken must have
entered the room early. The
SC, cams of his daughter aroused
Judge Phillips, and he found
Milliken on the roof of rear shed.
Elk Solicitor General John Goode, coun'
sci for the defense, contended that Mil
liken was not in mental or physical
condition to have committed the offense
charged. There was no intention, he
said, to RI fleet on Miss Phillips's CHAR
acter. His client, not realizing his
condition, had called on the young
lady, and though she excused herself
be entered the parlor unnoticed by the
family and rell asleep.
Whep he awoke he supposed he was
at his own home, and retired, as he
thought, to his room, learning his mis-
take only when he recognized Judge
Phillips. The first witness was Judge
Phillips, who testified that he was
aroused shortly after midnight by his
daughters screams, found her in con-
WILSON'S and then found man in the
closet, who later, escaping to rear
roof, proved to be Milliken.
Miss Eleanor Phillips, the elder sister, ties.

house for more than two years previous to
July 4, and that while he called to see both
herself aud her sister Gertrude, his visits
were paid especially to Miss Gertrude; that
they frequently went out together, made ex-
gu, sions to Cabin Johns Bridge or elsewhere,
and that she knew Milliken wss in love with
her sister and she believed that at one time
Gertrude loved him; that Mr.. hilliken had
made presents to her sister of silver ornaments
and books.
Miss Gertrude Phillips. graceful young
lady, then took the stand and testified that
on the night of July 4 she felt her bed shake
and smelled chloroform She cried out at
once and saw figure dart across the room.

The woman answered, falteringly; II don't

She said she had been estrsnged from him

and returned to her pair of opera glasses.
Court adjourned until to day.

addition to the heavy weight cham
pion of the world and the one-time
American middle weight champion. a
host of other by-gone stars We're in

men we'll known in the higher walks
of life, who were present to show their
appreciation of the manly art.
The fun commenced with a three
round bout between Charley Norton
and Dan Keefe, Of Newark.
Jim Hall. the Australian and Pete
Burns, of Harlem. gave a lively go
which pleased the crowd immensely.
The old veterans George Rookie and
John Donaldson, both of whom have
felt the force Of John L. Sullivan's
blow, were the next pair. They smiled
as they played at 'jab and counter
for three one-minute rounds and got a
great ovation.
A tremendous burst of applause greet
ed John L. Sullivan as he was an
nounced to make short speech. He
received another ovation as he retired.
Billy Edwards, the ex-light weight
champion, and Arthur Chambers. Of
Philadelphia. his old rival then spared
three rounds. Chambers were quite
fast but Billy did fine. They did not
bother about the gong but sat down
when they were tired and the three
rounds were more than enough for
them.
Bob Armstrong, the colored heavy
weight from Chica go, was pounds heav-
ier and inches taller than Tommy kel-
ley, of Hoboken. and the latter had a
hard time to keep away for three
rounds

body with open gloves. Mace. despite
his years. was quick and used his left
we'll.
In the second round Mace took out
his false teeth and threw them to his
seconds.
In the third round Mace showed his
left in straight q couple Of times and
Mike sent a pretty hot one to the Jaw.
They did some lively tapping in the
